Chapter 204 - Tsk...tsk... the world is too naive to understand President Feng.

Li Xue was already inside the car. Her smile was simply not leaving her lips. She has never thought that the man who has been so cold and aloof to this world will be so warm to her. Everything felt so surreal. Earlier when she was waiting for him down in the parking lot, she had no idea what had suddenly happened to him.

But her confusion got cleared when she heard the explanation of his heartbeat when he embraced her close to it. "I just wanted to confirm that all that happened between us moments before was not some of my wishful dreams rather a truth, I can rely on". He has said and Li Xue was able to feel his true emotions of anxiousness, desperation and love within his words.

She did not know what got under her at that time that she had simply lifted her hands up to pinch his cheeks lightly. Maybe because he looked too adorable at that time that she just could not control herself. But his skin was so soft under her touch, just opposite to the character he holds in front of the world.

Sigh, only if others can touch him the way she has then they would have known. One second her mind thought and just the other second it stubbornly got against the idea.

She would have let their hug last a little longer if not been in public. Assuring him with her best that it was not any dream rather the truth, she got back in the car and made her way back to Sweet Delicacy.

Though barely only thirty to forty – five minutes would have only been left in her work hours getting over when she would reach her workplace, still she wanted to go back. At this moment she needs some time for herself too. She might have assured Mr Beelzebub to believe the things that happened but she still needs herself to take everything in.

Soon the car reached Sweet Delicacy. "Ma'am, we reached the place." The driver informed, pulling up the car near the parking space. "Huh?" Li Xue, who was already lost in her thoughts voiced out in slight confusion, not exactly hearing the driver's words. But when caught the familiar glimpse outside she said, "Oh! Thank you for driving me back".

Completing her words of gratefulness, she pushed the door open to get out of the car. Reaching inside, she was suddenly surprised. The whole group of staff have been gathered at a place, surrounding something or someone around. Did something happen here?

Li Xue did not know what had suddenly happened. As her eyes moved, she found people cheering and smiling but at a corner, Mia was standing with a hateful expression on her face. More like she was lashing out someone with contemptuous words inside her heart.

As soon as her eyes caught Li Xue arriving, it turned to give complaints like many wrongs had happened around in her absence and now it can only be her, who can turn every wrong into right. "Li Xue, that's enough! Now I can't take this drama anymore. These people are being so disgusting here. They are openly lying in front of everyone but still maintaining a high and mighty position as if, even saints have to come to take their preaching and theories".

Mia complained. She was truly hurt. She has truly taken Li Xue as her friend and seeing someone else claiming what belonged to her friend was simply unacceptable to her. A little childish but a feeling that was bound by a loyal friendship.

"What drama are you talking about? What happened here and what's with this crowd?" she asked, still not getting the sight in front of her. Her eyes still curiously looking at the front, hearing people's admiring cheers for someone.

Mia breathed a deep breath out before she said, "The same drama as before. Earlier someone came to deliver a bouquet of roses and he said it was for Chef Ning and was sent by someone from Feng Internationals. It was heard by one of the staff but was soon travelled to every ear making them gather here to sing praises in one tone. How childish! Hmph!".

"Ohh I see!" Li Xue said, all nonchalantly, now understanding what exactly was happening with the people inside.

"What type of response was that? Are you not going to say anything else", Mia asked desperately, not understanding how the woman could remain so calm, even after knowing what was happening around?

Li Xue smiled as she waved her hand asking her to come along with her, "Come on, we still have some time left to go off work. Let's not waste it. Time is precious". Saying this, she made her way gracefully towards the direction her counter was located, Mia following her from behind.

"Hey, Li Xue, how can you be so easy? Are you really letting them live in a lie?" Mia said, following her behind.

"Why should I care? That's their choice, same as I have already said to you before. Whatever they want, they can accept. I have long lost interest in hearing people's opinions. They just do not make any sense or change to me. Furthermore, the masses had always preferred to trust the false things easily, so let them believe. I have no say in that"

She said coolly, shrugging her shoulders back. Her words were the principles that she has started to follow after what happened to her in the past. Now she no more feels affected by what people say about her, not until she is sure that there is still someone trusting her. She had her Yenay before, and now it's her little devilic – angel and … also some people she got on her back.

"But Li Xue …"

Li Xue sighed as she looked at the young girl getting so concerned for her. Turning to look at her she asked. "Okay, tell me why should I go to clarify there? Do they don't have their brains at work? Just a mere bouquet … how can they think that it's from President Feng? It may be from someone else too as President Feng is not alone working at Feng Internationals"

Her words made some sense to Mia. She was about to give in to that explanation but then again something else struck her hard. "No, Li Xue, that's not so simple. If it had been just a bouquet, then they might have not agreed but there was also a diamond-studded bracelet box presented with it. Like many diamonds in one bracelet. That makes sense why they believe it. Diamonds are not something everyone can afford, right?"

At the mention of diamonds, the young girl's eyes shined but when realized that her excitement was getting the wrong way, she chided herself for it.

"A diamond bracelet!" Li Xue pondered, with a bit confusion at first as she saw Mia nodding her head in approval, confirming her words, "Yes, a very pretty bracelet studded with several white diamonds, Li Xue. I have seen it earlier. It must be a lot pricey for just anyone to afford". The confusion in the woman's eyes barely remained for some time, as it quickly got replaced with a smile when understood the flaw in the situation.

"Tsk … tsk … Too na?ve! With President Feng's sense of preference and taste, do they really think that he would ever be someone to give a white diamond-studded bracelet, especially to the woman who is claiming to be his girlfriend?"
