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 some 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 me to complete". Sister Margaret said as she helplessly saw the lady working on her own. It was already her umpteenth time 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 sometimes 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 some chocolate pancakes and some easy steamed stuffed buns for Shufen. Though I have also prepared some 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 me and so many maids here, you could have allowed us to help.".
"Yes, Sister Margaret! I know but its already done. Believe me, it was quite easy for which I didn't need any help. But yeah, there is still something 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 me, 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 time and their continuous same treatment, she has now grown used to all this.
"Just help me check with WeiWei. Before coming to the kitchen, I have already woken her up. By this time, 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 same crazy lady from before? Sister Margaret thought, remembering Liu Hua from the other day. To her, that lady seemed quite a hectic mess, with whom she would not want her lady to mess, this early in the morning.
"Oh, there is someone 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 same crazy woman that she was thinking of, then she would let her get in her own way, without letting her meet 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 some 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 accustomed to the tone she has to use in a situation like this. Though the parcel seemed 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 some 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 same bouquet. Asking the purpose of the parcel when it has come in the name 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 seemed unusual was the bouquet of flower. Something that has never been included before until today.
Closing the door after, she turned only to find the lady standing with some curiosity in her eyes. "Who was there, Sister Margaret?"
"Oh, Madam, it was a parcel and a bouquet in the name 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 meaning behind it …
Her eyes contemplated for a moment as her memories worked to remember something out from knowledge. Wasn't marguerite flower symbolic of shy love? Who was sending these flowers to Mr Beelzebub? Some admirer! There can be, after all, the man was not just someone 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 name of Young Master. So, whenever the things come under his name, 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 me check it for him then. After all, we need to say something before handing him these two". Li Xue said, before reaching her hands to get the card placed in between the flowers.
