Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 194 - Something better than that.

Chapter 194 - Something better than that.

Outside when Ryan heard Shufen's merciless words, she could not hold up her weak legs anymore. She was already getting all anxious that Feng Shufen was inside with Li Xue all alone, thinking Li Xue to be some witch, who will cast some of her spells on him again.

And when Gao Fan received a call from Shufen, her eyes instantly turned to look in his direction expectantly. Like she was just waiting for that call to come and her life was all dependent on it. It was not only her, who has been getting anxious over the situation, rather one of the cupids of the story was also sitting at the edge to hear the things from inside.

Being all anxious, Qi Shuai did not think much before storming his way towards the Secretary. Snatching the phone at once from Gao Fan, he did not wait but put it on the speaker to let everyone hear what the Devil has to say. And those words were enough to blow off Ryan.

Contract termination with K.M. Enterprises! That was so easy for him and yet she thought that she got the cards to make him change his mind. She was confident that after playing her cards well in the name of his prestigious company, for which she knew he cared a lot, she thought that she would be able to defeat Li Xue and win Feng Shufen back.

But damn, how wrong she was to think something like that! She has no idea that to him, the woman has become the greatest treasure to his heart. Enough precious to stake everything he has, only for her.

It was hard for her to believe what he has actually said about contract termination. But soon a realization hit her hard. Did he say that the termination papers have already been prepared? How can that be? She has just proposed her thoughts to him. He can be quick to take the decision but not the lawyer. The only possibility that could justify the things here can be that he has already made his plans of termination, even before her proposal.

What does this mean? Was he …

Before she could comprehend it any further, she got another blow to crumple her heart and confidence. Like the man did not have enough yet and there was still something left for which she was yet to be punished.

"Compensate them for the termination, without them asking for it. But at the same time withdraw all our investments invested in their other businesses and projects.? In future I don't want any collaboration with them" he said and Ryan felt her soul leaving her body.

Those words might feel simple to anyone's ears but they were not. Compensating and withdrawing the investments to cut the connection between the companies were the best solutions. That was nothing new in the business world. But if looked in the depths, it was a deathly blow that could even ruin the existence of K. M. Enterprises.

The Feng Internationals have their investments in almost every sector of the industries and also they were the ones whose goodwill was known to be the highest in the market. If they withdraw their investments, that won't only affect them financially but will also affect their credential in the market. They will not only lose the financial help of other investors but all their trusts. Won't that be the end to their enterprise?

At the thought of it, Ryan was jolted hard. Instantly springing up on her feet, she rushed to grab the phone, calling out in a cracking voice. "Shufen, you can't do this to me. Listen to me first. You can't be this harsh …"

But without giving any opportunity, the phone was disconnected at once, making everyone know how serious and firm his decision was! He has already warned her for her betterment last night. That if a person wants to remain in his good books then the most important requirement would be to remain good and respectful to the people he cares about, or else they can already wait for the worst to come.

Qi Shuai looked at the scene and felt bad. But there was no one but Ryan to be blamed for her own despair. She brought it on herself. When given the cue, if she would have backed off then maybe … just maybe Shufen would not have been this harsh. He would have just punished her for being so cruel with the little princess. But teasing the Devil's limits by talking bad about Li Xue has just made things worse. Putting a complete end to their stories!

Back inside the closed door, Li Xue was still speechless. She was not too much into business stuff but she knew well about the profits and losses. This was something she has read in her secondary school and also in high school. Though she was not sure about the amount of loss Feng Internationals will be incurring from this contract termination but she was sure that there won't be anything profitable in it.

Feng Shufen had already tucked his phone back into his pocket and was now just gazing at her as if he was expecting her to say something. "What? Now you don't have anything to say?"

Li Xue bit her lips lightly, as she had nothing else to say now. His eyes were simply teasing her. The heavy air that had enveloped the room before the call had already subsided and now the only thing that existed around was the comfort and warmth in the air.

"What do you want me to do now?" she asked, in the pretence of arrogance but that mask of pretence was too subtle to bring any good to her as the man instantly saw through it. But restraining himself from saying anything, he waited for her to complete the words. He was sure that she still had something in her throat to roll out.

"Do you want me to apologize to you?" she added another question when she saw the man, not making his intentions clear to her. He has already moved a little away from her, giving her the space she needed, but that space was not at all enough to let her run away from him.

When he heard her questions, a smirk lifted his lips to a side as he voiced out his intentions with a seductive smoothness in his voice, "I want something more better than that!". As those got out, his grey, sterling eyes became more intense, gazing her from top to bottom, as if sizing her to devour.

His eyes then signalled her to look at the door behind her, letting her know that this time none of her excuses are going to help her. There was no chance door for her escape.
