Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 293 - Was he really a perverted one to think like that?

Chapter 293 - Was he really a perverted one to think like that?

After advising Feng Yi Lan for good, Qi Shuai was about to leave the room to give her space to get fresh and change her clothes when suddenly halted under Yi Lan's touch. Her long fingers went to wrap itself around his wrist, holding him back.

Turning around again to face her, he raised his brows, wordlessly asking her to explain her actions.

"I think I would not be able to do it myself. I would need help!" She said, holding an expression of a weak and dainty maiden. Something that was definitely out of her character.

The man knew it too. Squinting his eyes at her, he waited for a moment, trying to read something deep in her expressions and mind but however, he tried he was not able to get to reach that surface.

What was this woman cooking up now? Or is it me, who is thinking too much? He thought to himself when failed to receive any answers round.

Assuming the majority votes in the favor of the latter option of his thoughts, he asked, "Help? What is it?"

"I am like this, what do you think? In what thing would I need your help?" she replied all plainly but there were some hints of arrogance in it. Something that was not requesting rather was demanding from the man.

This was not something new for the Qi Shuai as he has always been used to taking the demands of the woman, not the requests. He has not given her the title Princess just for anything! He has always treated her like one. Pampered her like one!

Qi Shuai truly got confused by her words, not understanding what she actually meant by that. Shrugging his shoulders in nonchalance, he simply asked, "What is it? I am not understanding you, Princess!"

Feng Yi Lan looked at him and gave a smile. To say that it was her innocent smile, will be the most dangerous false prediction of this world as it was definitely not anywhere near to innocence. Rather that smile of hers felt more connected to one of her most dangerous devilish smile, the man has ever known of.

"I would need your help in changing my clothes. I don't think I will be able to manage it alone, given to the condition of my leg. So help me in changing my clothes, Director Qi!" She said with the utmost nonchalance.

Her words almost sent a deep jolt to the man as his eyes got widened in shock. His steps subconsciously stumbled backwards but Yi Lan's hold on his wrist was too firm to keep him right in his position.

A wave of satisfaction washed over her when she saw the thing she was wanting to see. This was her turn to take the fun of teasing him. She can see the ears of the man getting all red along with the slight flush on his face.

"H – Help you change the clothes?" he asked with some bewilderment and the woman instantly nodded, confirming his words with a seal.

"I – I mean you want me to help you with that?" He asked again, not knowing how he should take her request or demand, whatsoever it was.

Feng Yi Lan looked at him for some moment. Then turned her eyes to look around the room, baffling the man more than he already was. "Director Qi, I don't think there is anyone else here. So yes, I am here, definitely asking your help. Why? Are you not willing to help me?"

She said eyeing him accusingly and then continued, "You said that you, yourself will take care of me. Are you now going back on your words?"

Qi Shuai instantly shook his head in denial. His ears gave a burning sensation "No, no, Yi Lan! There is nothing like that. I am just asking … Forget that I will go and ask a nurse to come and help you. That will be more comfortable for you".

He said and was about to go and call out someone but at the exact moment, Yi Lan said with some ridicule in her tone, "Tsk … tsk … What absurd things are you thinking, Director Qi. I just asked your sincere help since you have said that you will take care of me and only you will take care of me, no one else. But the first thing I asked your help in, you saw it in such a perverted light. I never thought that you would take things in this wrong light."

Qi Shuai felt more fl.u.s.tered at her words. Was it his fault to take things this way? No, he has never thought to look at it in this perverted way but he … just wasn't able to control his thoughts. Does that really make him a perverted one here?

Shaking his head in denial, he immediately said, "There is nothing like that, Yi Lan. What are you thinking? I was just going to call the nurse to help you because you know, I don't have much knowledge about women's dresses. Being a woman herself, the nurse would be able to help you in a much better way. There was nothing perverted in it. Believe me!"

He defended himself. Which man will love to get called perverted by the woman whom he was planning to pursue? Maybe, no one! At least he was not on the list.

Yi Lan looked at him and folded her arms above her c.h.e.s.t. "Really? There is nothing perverted. Then how are you going to explain your flushed face and red ears? Don't say that Director Qi of Feng Internationals is also interested in doing makeup. That's something I have never known about you even after so many years"

Qi Shuai was all floored at her words, to an extent where his whole brain went blank. "I – I … I never mean …"

He tried to defend himself again but was mercilessly cut short by the woman. Feng Yi Lan was enjoying his condition the best. Though she was having a hard time controlling herself from breaking into laughter, it was worth it. "Okay! Fine! Since you are asking me to believe you then I will try to. You said that you were hesitant in helping because you lack knowledge of women's apparel. Fine, there is nothing to worry about. I have all the knowledge on the topic and I can guide you. Come along with me and help me change now". She said, putting an end to all the remaining thoughts of the man.

In Sweet Delicacy,

Everything was going all fine with Li Xue working at the counter and Chen Yujian making a list of the ingredients they will require to bring from the pantry.

"Yujian, add an extra count of maple syrup in the list too," Li Xue said, as she remained busy with work she was doing.

Behind, Chen Yujian gave a sound of affirmation as added the name of maple syrup in the list. Confirming the list one last time by himself, he was about to ask Li Xue to check it too but right before he could do so, Mia came running from outside.

"Li Xue, there is a big mess outside and even Chef Ning is not able to control it. You have to come with me to see it"
