Chapter 78 – A Bitter Feeling Of Regret.
Wen Sying was overjoyed when she heard Maomao's insulting words from Li Xue. Though she couldn't show her joy in front of everyone, still she felt a kind of relief of contentment in her heart. Finally, she has got something in her pocket's too where she will not look like a dwarf in comparison to her.
But her joy was planned to be a short lived one.
"Any problem!" came a fresh – fruity voice from the entrance and everyone instantly turned to look at the man who has appeared with an attractive charisma. His brown eyes scanned the entire room and instantly found the person for whom he has come searching in.
Wen Sying was all flabbergasted at the surprise appearance of the person. She very well knew who he was? This was none other than the Knight Prince of the country Chiboa, Qi Shuai. In Jingling City, there would be no woman who would not have this man in their heart.
Since Feng Shufen has always kept himself in the elusive light, this man has been the representing market face of Feng Internationals. The man who was considered to be the best closest friend to the Big Boss of the company.
'But what was he doing here? Did he get to some wrong room?' she thought internally as she looked more at him. She followed his gaze that was looking towards Li Xue with a cheerful, friendly smile.
Her eyes went wide when some sudden realization struck her. She looked at the woman and waited to confirm her thoughts.
Spotting the woman, the man smiled and then asked again. "Is there any problem here?" The question was not directed to everyone but to her particularly. It was Li Xue's first time meeting him, so she had no idea about him.
Her eyes held a confusion when she saw him walking towards her. She was about to ask him if she knew him, but right at this moment Maomao worded out in a dreamy tone. "Gosh! Am I seeing things? Or Master Qi Shuai is really coming towards us?
Master Qi Shuai! Li Xue repeated the name inside her head, trying to recall where she has heard the name before.
'Eh! Is he the same Director Chief in Feng Internationals?' she murmured lightly and looked at him. Within just a few seconds he reached her and then looked at the people around.
Seeing him approach like this, Wen Sying thought to greet him first. It would definitely be beneficial for her if she can present some good impression in front of him. She turned to look at Zheng Wenting and the man instantly understood.
Composing himself back into the CEO attitude, he walked towards the front, standing right beside his girlfriend and extending his hands for a formal handshake, "Director Qi, we never thought that …"
"You are still here. I was almost bored from waiting for you for the last two hours. If you are done, then let's go fast. You can't keep your boyfriend and boss waiting for you like this", he said, not giving any attention to the other people around. He ignored them like they were not present at the scene and directed his words to the woman he had intended to speak.
Hearing his words, Li Xue finally realized what was happening around? Director Qi and Mr. Beelzebub have come here to pick her up. And since the main man of the show did not want to grab attention towards him, he has sent his friend to remind her that the Devil was waiting for her outside.
She sighed in relief. For the first time after they met, she genuinely wanted to praise this man for being so thoughtful towards her. It would have been so scary if instead of Director Qi, he would be the one entering the room.
But wait, did he just say that they had waited for TWO HOURS? That means they have come just after 30 minutes, she has arrived here. Then this restaurant takeover, the scene with special desserts and at last this whole lunch was all …
"And this …", Qi Shuai extended back the Feng International's preferential employee card and continued, "Take this back …Your boyfriend is capable enough to take care of your expenditures. You don't have to spent your hard earned money like this"
Li Xue smiled awkwardly and took back the card. She could feel the scorching stares from everyone around. She knew they were eager to know what was exactly her relationship with the man but she has decided to not let them get the satisfaction. It will be more satisfying to torment them.
So being all calm and relaxed, she said "Sorry to make you wait. I was about to leave but got stuck due to someone's useless words". As she said she turned her eyes towards Maomao and Sying. There was an expression of disbelief in the air.
Qi Shuai too understood her intentions. Giving a nonchalant glare around, he said with a smile. "Ah it's okay. Let's go" he said and then gesture her gentlemanly to come along with him.
He looked at his watch and then said under his breath. 'Haha … Shufen I have got your treasure, Li Xue, safely out from the clutches of her jerk ex. You better treat me good now'. The two directly walked out, not caring to glance back at the expressions of the people behind.
The onlookers were still not able to believe their eyes. They just stared blankly at the direction of the exits as the silhouette of the two disappeared.
They could not believe that the Knight Prince of the country, Qi Shuai, had come all the way to pick Li Xue all by himself and was also kind and thoughtful to her. He was here for the same woman who had been into a dirty scandal five years back.
Was he really her fiancée, as the waitress has said before? How impossible?
But the way he was behaving with her seemed to make it look like the best possible thing at the scene. And not to mention, how he was bringing the word 'boyfriend' again and again.
Zheng Wenting was really embarrassed, but he was more hurt. He could not believe that Li Xue had got such great acquaintances now. She was not only a reputed chef under Feng International's label but she was also involved with someone like Qi Shuai!
Somewhere he was also having a bitter feeling of regret.
