Chapter 343 - 'Grace of morning bliss' -vs- 'Poise frigid air'.

Li Xue was sitting elegantly, basking the sunlight seeping in from the big glass window. All curtains were rolled to the side, keeping in mind her preference of the early sunlight in the house.

The chandelier on the top of the ceiling was dimmed to no brightness since it was not needed in a well-lit room but still its crystals never needed anything or anyone's permission to shine in its adversity. They knew well to make their own way to bring the brightness. Getting stuck with the morning sun, they were perfectly refracting the pearly light in the whole room.

"Madam, I have already instructed four of the maids to dust off the whole place and the two to prepare breakfast for you. Do you have any other orders for them to follow?" Sister Margaret asked as she came to stand politely in front of Li Xue, keeping her hands clasped at her front.

Though it has already been a month of Li Xue living with Mr Beelzebub, she has not been able to bring herself used to Sister Margaret's sophisticated politeness. Not only given to her age but also because she has previously taken her as someone who can guide her even if it meant by reprimanding her at her wrong attitudes. The warmth that she has once got from her was something she had longed from her mother but had never received it.

"Ahh … There is nothing more, Sister Margaret. But I would have loved to cook breakfast on my own? I am generally used to keeping myself in the kitchen for the three meals and my WeiWei has also always loved my cooking. Li Xue said, returning the politeness.

"Madam, it's your kitchen. You don't have to ask me for anything. But I doubt you will want to keep it the same today as usual. Earlier, Master has instructed us to help you so that you could take some rest today since you had tiresome days at work this week and also later you have to get ready to visit Third Young Miss" Sister Margaret spoke up lightly with a smile.

"Oh okay! Then I will make other arrangements. Thank you for helping me out Sister Margaret" Li Xue said, repeating the smile on her lips. But then suddenly her attention went to look at the man who had suddenly appeared at the scene.

Her eyes blinked when saw the perfection in his dishevelment. His hair semi-wet evidencing the heavy morning workout he has made him used to with every day. His one hand holding the small towel to wipe off the sweat while his grey eyes looking around as if searching something or someone around.

"WeiWei is still not up?" he asked as his eyes went to look up at the clock. It was already eight and the little piece was accustomed to waking early at seven in the morning.

Sister Margaret, bowed her head as she replied courteously, "Little princess is still sleeping soundly".

Li Xue was snapped back from her trance when heard Mr Beelzebub. Her lips twitched at his askance. "After keeping her up, late at night, you are still asking if she is up early in the morning. You are really spoiling her to no return. Later in the day, I doubt I will be able to understand her twisted words and high thoughts anymore." She grumbled at a low voice, not wanting to chide him loudly enough to let all maids hear them.

Sister Margaret understood the cue. Bowing her head to the couple she retreated quietly and also gestured to the maids working at the kitchen to pay no ears at the scene. The maids were trained enough to know what orders must not be defied.

Seeing her behaving like a true little wife, Feng Shufen let out a small chuckle "I am sure that till the end of our eternity I will stay there to patiently explain everything to you. You don't have to put your doubt on me, darling"

"Doubt you? How do you think I can do that when I can see your explanations bringing such perfect understanding to the little devil of mine?" Li Xue retorted back, rolling her eyes at him

Not like she was not liking his way of teaching but the changes were becoming so evident that she could not help but note it down every time she got a glimpse of it.

The etiquette of her little was becoming sharper and sharper as if she was being trained under someone's strict supervision. But she knew one thing much better, no one can dare to go strict with her daughter except the little devil herself.

The bedtime stories were turning into business stories, stories that required all brain cells to function equally to get into the depths of the conclusions. She can see what Mr Beelzebub was trying to do but never understood his reasons behind. He was teaching the things that were making her little princess more and more like him and seeing the results, she could say that WeiWei was following him well.

Li Xue has always tried to make her princess the grace of morning bliss but here the man was busy teaching her to become the poise frigid air. Together with both of their lessons her daughter was becoming that disposition that would never be challenged in the future.

The man did not refute her word. He just took his steps and went to grab a seat by her side. Right at this moment, the phone at the side rang as Li Xue reached to accept it. Her lips curled a little when saw that it was her friend calling her.

Dragging the icon to accept the call she was about to forward her words of informal greeting but before she could do that, a voice from the other side of the call interrupted her, "Li Xue, where are you? It's already the weekend yet you have not come to meet me. You better come straight to the hospital."

Li Xue was puzzled with her announcement. There were still two weeks left for the next and last appointment, then why she was suddenly planning a hospital visit. Especially when the hospital was the last place she has loved to visit in her life. "Hospital? You still have time to …"

"No, I don't have any time to waste, Li Xue. We are already approaching the end of the year and soon there will be spring. There is still lots and lots of work left. I cannot delay them just because I have got a minor sprain in my ankle."

"But Yi Lan …"

"No 'buts', Li Xue. I am healed and so is my ankle, so now it's time for me to work fast. At this moment I am on my way to the hospital to remove the heavy troublesome cast from my leg. So you better reach there too, I have to discuss so much with you and also don't you dare throw tantrums while signing a contract with my fashion brand. Being your best friend I need some major priority" Feng Yi Lan said without giving her any time to refute.

"Signing a contract? What are you talking about, Yi Lan? I am all confused" Li Xue asked, wrinkling her brows.

"Ouff oh! Who said you to understand things on the phone call. Come to me and I will explain to you everything. Now, go and get ready fast. I know you love punctuality, don't just lag your good habits just because I am in the question".

Li Xue opened her mouth to ask again but before she could say anything, the call went disconnected.
