Chapter 518 - Strange combination of flowers.
The next morning, Li Xue's schedule was all free. So, getting up all early in the morning, she quickly went to prepare breakfast. Since she has already promised WeiWei her favourite breakfast, it was quite easy for her to think nothing before preparing her favourite breakfast. She just needed to beat so chocolate with flour and eggs, and then have to prepare the easy and quick pancakes.
"Madam, do you need any help? I am here. You can just leave this work for to complete". Sister Margaret said as she helplessly saw the lady working on her own. It was already her umpteenth ti since she has been asking the woman to leave the house chores on the maids. But to her surprise even with the power and privilege in her hands, she still emphasizes on doing the cooking herself.
Seeing her so stubborn regarding this, she sotis get concerned thinking, how the lady will manage things when the workload would get increased in future. After all handling household along with a professional career outside was not an easy task.
Li Xue shook her head with a graceful smile as she said, "Thanks for asking, Sister Margaret. But I am all done with the things here. It was not a tough job but just so chocolate pancakes and so easy stead stuffed buns for Shufen. Though I have also prepared so congee, I don't think he would prefer it's mild taste".
"Young Master prefers anything that you cook. Don't worry about the taste, Madam. Your cooking skills are already the best. But still, with and so many maids here, you could have allowed us to help.".
"Yes, Sister Margaret! I know but its already done. Believe , it was quite easy for which I didn't need any help. But yeah, there is still sothing left with which you could help" Li Xue added, scooping a little more of pancake batter on the pan.
The old lady instantly bowed with politeness, asking, "Order , Madam!
Li Xue just smiled at the gestures of the old lady. It no longer makes her uncomfortable or awkward. As the old woman has said earlier, with the passing ti and their continuous sa treatnt, she has now grown used to all this.
"Just help check with WeiWei. Before coming to the kitchen, I have already woken her up. By this ti, she must be struggling with her dress".
The old lady at once nodded. Living with the little princess alone for three days, she has already got to understand, how independent the mother has made her. "Yes, sure lady!?I will go and see her at once".
"Thank You, Sister Margaret!" Li Xue replied gratefully and the old woman turned to walk upstairs. But her steps paused in the tracks when heard the doorbell rang suddenly. It was quite early for anyone to arrive at this hour of the morning.
Was it the sa crazy lady from before? Sister Margaret thought, rembering Liu Hua from the other day. To her, that lady seed quite a hectic ss, with whom she would not want her lady to ss, this early in the morning.
"Oh, there is soone on the door, Sister Margaret", Li Xue said from the kitchen, to which the old lady quickly replied.
"Don't worry, Madam! I will check it for you", she said as she quickly put her steps on rewind to attend to the person at the door. If it's the sa crazy woman that she was thinking of, then she would let her get in her own way, without letting her et the lady.
Getting at the door, Sister Margaret paused. Her assumptions didn't match the reality and she was relieved with that. But her aged brows also scrunched with so confusion when saw the courier boy standing out with a bouquet and parcel in his hands.
"Yes?" Being serving the Fengs for years, Sister Margaret was all accustod to the tone she has to use in a situation like this. Though the parcel seed a little suspicious at the front, since it has made to enter after the security check, it longer felt a threat.
The courier boy bowed at first with so politeness, greeting the morning and then said, "This is for Mr Feng! Please receive it signing here".
Sister Margaret eyed slightly at the white and yellow bouquet. They were quite a unique combination but looked beautiful together in the sa bouquet. Asking the purpose of the parcel when it has co in the na of Feng Shufen, was not her stand. So, nodding her head, she signed at receiving and then accepted the parcel in the house.
She noted the month then realized that the gift parcel was nothing new this month. There has always been one coming during these days. The one that seed unusual was the bouquet of flower. Sothing that has never been included before until today.
Closing the door after, she turned only to find the lady standing with so curiosity in her eyes. "Who was there, Sister Margaret?"
"Oh, Madam, it was a parcel and a bouquet in the na of the Young Master!" The old lady replied with a humble smile, not revealing much.
Li Xue nodded to her words, but suddenly her eyes narrowed a little when found it was not any simple bouquet of greeting rather a strange combination of pink edged white marguerite flowers with yellow mimosa. No doubt the combination looked beautiful, but the aning behind it …
Her eyes contemplated for a mont as her mories worked to rember sothing out from knowledge. Wasn't marguerite flower symbolic of shy love? Who was sending these flowers to Mr Beelzebub? So admirer! There can be, after all, the man was not just soone but the person with great charms.
Rubbing her chin lightly on her thoughts, she asked, "Who has sent these, Sister Margaret? Bouquets with such a beautiful packed velvety parcel box seems a little too high for any early greeting".
The old lady was a little hesitant. "Umm … that, Madam, it's under the na of Young Master. So, whenever the things co under his na, we are not allowed to query about it. So, neither did I check, nor I asked".
Of course, Li Xue knew that no one was allowed to look into the privacy of the man. But didn't the man already allowed her to step into his life as she wanted and do whatever she wanted? Then who is there to stop her?
"Oh, I see! Let check it for him then. After all, we need to say sothing before handing him these two". Li Xue said, before reaching her hands to get the card placed in between the flowers.
