Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 979 - Feeling Of Betrayal.

"Mhm … I didn't praise you in vain. Your skills are truly impeccable in cooking. I never thought that simple food could be this tasty until today. Even a sick person who has almost lost all senses of her tongue can feel the taste. Amazing!" Lin Xinyi praised and Li Xue smiled looking at her having her meal.

Lin Xinyi looked at the girl's modesty and paused her eating to ask, "What? Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I am lying to you?"

Li Xue shook her head. "Nope, I believe your every word, sister Xinyi. I am just holding my patience to hear you once you finish your plate." She said and her words made the woman wrinkle her brows in confusion.

She looked at Li Xue as if asking what was she talking about.

"Didn't you say you have a story to tell me? I was referring to that." Li Xue explained and the expression on Lin Xinyi's face changed.

Nodding, she hummed before restarting her eating. She hasn't forgotten what she had to tell Li Xue. What she was hesitating about was actually how to state it in front of her? How to begin the things that she, herself, was ashamed of? ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt - novelenglish.net . bin

Soon the food on her plate also came to an end and she knew that now, she could no longer avoid the topic she was running from. Poshly wiping off her lips, she hesitantly looked at the girl. "Li Xue, I was …"

Before she could even start properly, Li Xue interrupted to assure her of hesitation, "Sister Xinyi, you don't have to hesitate so much while telling things to me. I know who you are. I would never judge you based on one thing. So you can share whatever you want to."

She said and Lin Xinyi could no longer hide. Looking straight into the eyes of Li Xue, she asked, "Li Xue, is President Feng of Feng Internationals your boyfriend?"

Li Xue was slightly taken aback when heard her ask that. But her expression didn't turn too much of surprise. The smile on her lips didn't waver as without any hesitation she nodded. "Yes, he is the one." She said and then again became all calm about it.

"Won't you ask how did I come to know about it?" Lin Xinyi asked, slightly confused at the nonchalant attitude of the girl. She knew that Li Xue has always been confident in herself. But she never expected that she would even be so confident while standing beside Feng Shufen, whose personality was enough to put anyone in hesitation complex.

Li Xue shrugged her shoulders. "I won't because I could already guess how. It should be from the media of course. They have shot us together at Feng Internationals. I am sure it wouldn't be hard for you to recognize me there."

Nodding, Lin Xinyi agreed. Though her expression looked a little blankly desperate, there was still the calmness left in her demeanor. Yes, it was not hard for her to recognize the girl in the pictures. What was actually hard was seeing her beside the man? She never thought that Li Xue would be the woman to stand beside him ever.

Biting over her lower lips, she tried to suppress the twisting pain she was feeling in her stomach. It was not out of jealousy; she was sure of that but was of regret and disappointment that she had all her life.

"Li Xue, I don't mean any harm but I have to confess something to you. Just hear me out. I don't know how you would take my words. But I believe since we would be having a long-term professional relationship, I shouldn't hide one thing from you." Lin Xinyi said reaching out to hold onto Li Xue's hands that she has kept over the table.

Li Xue looked at her. Now piecing the several things and ideas together, it was not hard for her to not realize what that confession could be about. She has heard in past someone reporting that Lin Xinyi's disappearance from the industry was because of her love affair. She had fallen for some rich CEO who never reciprocated her advances.

And recently she has also read someone commenting that Feng Shufen would never get interested in the woman from the modeling industry as he was once reported about rejecting the most beautiful lady of the field.

Thinking all of that together, she could already guess who could be the CEO about which the media reporters might have written and who could be the most beautiful lady for which the man was been rumored about in the past. It was not that hard to tell.

What was actually hard was to hold her calm in a situation like this where she was feeling all aching sitting at the seat while waiting for the woman to confess her love for her man! But then, she already knew Feng Shufen was the pot of honey for which there wouldn't be just one bee but swarms of them running together. She could only be calm when required.

Furthermore, she didn't believe that Lin Xinyi would be her competitor. She wasn't getting that kind of vibe from her. It was just that she was a little anxious to reveal it immediately to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.

While at the front, Lin Xinyi was no less feeling suffered. Her emotions were at a mess. Messed to an extent that she was already sick for more than two days. But even being on the sickbed, she was sure of one thought that she shouldn't hide it in her thoughts, rather reveal it at the front at the very instance.

"Li Xue, I have once loved President Feng. Loved him to an extent when I have even given up on my most beloved career.. And that's something I want to let you know about so that if later you come to know about it you won't feel the feeling of betrayal from me as I would never think of betraying you."
