<h4>Chapter 310 - Have we met anywhere before?</h4>


    The woman''s lips curled a little up to give a smile when heard Li Xue''s words. And that almost made Li Xue lose control of her tongue. Shutting her eyes firmly for a second, she said in a suppressed annoyed tone, "I know a pretty smile can both be the best weapon and answer against adversity but it bes quite meaningless if used every now and then"


    "And at this moment, your smile is doing the same thing. Only if you can use your meaningful words instead of this then … Anyways, I think I should make my way now. It''s already off my work time", Li Xue said and then turned to move away.


    "Not bad, your memory is quite strong" The woman added on, to stop Li Xue again in her tracks. When she saw her turn again to face her, her dark ck eyes stressed its gaze knowingly as she continued, "I wasn''t here to discuss your father and would have never cared to mention him. But what can I do, looking at you even now I am getting his glimpse in you and your aura. But anyway, I can always ignore the true fact as ignorance at times is not that bad thing to do".


    Li Xue''s addled brain was not letting her think anything in its proper way. Though her internal befuddlement was not evident on her face. She was not that bad in concealing things, rather has just lost her habit of covering her real intentions as beautifully as before.


    Her brain was in turmoil like she was drowning in the sand stream of confusion and instead of pulling her out from it, more sand was being added to bury her down into it.


    What does she mean by getting a glimpse of her father in her? As far as she has known, she has got some of the facial features of her mother and that too was very slight, almost not anything vivid. And about her father, she was not wrong when she said that there was nothing identical between them. Neither in nature and behaviour nor looks.


    "Okay, I was waiting for you to let you know something" The woman started again when saw Li Xue not giving any response to her words. "The dessert you prepared has surpassed both the taste and creativeness of the one I have tasted before. I can say even after so many years the Sweet Delicacy has not lost its integral essence. Maybe because it still has recruitment of chefs like you."


    "Though your body and eyes say that this profession is not something that you have dreamt of, still it definitely has got your passion into it. I can only say that with you around this brand will never lose its charm. Hope to see you more here in the future!" The woman concluded and for once there was not a smile of mysteriousness on her lips rather it was reced with something genuine.


    Li Xue could also feel the air of genuine warmth in it but her curiosity about previous confusion was too much to let her understand everything. Her words were subconsciously being engraved in her mind, though it was still not getting shown on the surface.


    "Have we known from before? I have not felt this earlier but now looking at you this close I feel like we have definitely encountered somewhere in the past. Have we?" she asked suddenly, sensing something familiar in the air.


    Thedy again smiled as she said, "This world is not that small I guess. If fated, we will meet again! Goodbye till then!" Saying her words, she did not wait. Getting into her not so ordinary car, she left.


    At a distance when the car was leaving the premises, it came into the sight of Chen Yujian. The sober but the striking colour of Aston Martin was the thing that caught the young boy''s attention. It was not that he was captivated by the model rather it was more like enticed by his own curiosity. Not everyone in the city could afford that one piece.


    He was about to look who was there but before he could get any proper glimpse of the driver, the windows sses were rolled up, interrupting his vision in an instant. "Who was that? Why did it feel like it was someone I have known?" he said to himself but his thoughts did not ponder too much.


    At a distance, his gaze spotted Li Xue, so shrugging off the thought that was making him feel a loss of memory, he took his steps to her. It was the right time for him to demand some praise. Earlier he has already heard from Mia that the dessert dish has been sessful.


    "Hey, my dear Xena!" he called to halt her steps when saw her moving away.


    When Li Xue heard the known voice from behind, she stopped to look back. "Hey, you are already running away. I thought that at least today I will be lucky enough to make you praise my efforts. But seeing you leaving I think you are still not going to consider the great help I have given to you."


    Looking at the needy child, the woman could only roll her eyes. "Snapping some pictures has be such a big deal nowadays; I have not known this. But fine, since I am too exhausted today, I think I would not be able to entertain you. So I can only show my gratitude towards you instead of praises".


    She paused to give him time to understand the difference between praise and gratitude and then continued, "Thank you for visiting the Chef''s Library at such an urgent notice today. It would have been tough without your help. I would have to include President Feng into this. But thanks to you that we were able to carry out our work ourselves without bothering him".


    Chen Yujian felt she had been unjustly treated, so pressing his lips with a sullen expression heined, "Who wants your gratitude? I have asked for praises"


    "Ohh! If that''s the case, then bettere next time because this time it was all about me being grateful to you"


    "You …"


    "Umm … I am gettingte now. I should leave before your Uncle gets here to pick me up all by himself. Do you want to face him here and then bargain about my praises? If you want, I can arrange that."


    She said and Chen Yujian instantly growled in a low voice, "You sure know how to bully a kid. That''s not fair!"
