Chapter 173: Win over Mr. Beelzebub

Ryan was the most baffled one at the scene. Her eyes were fixed at the man as if she was trying to contemplate his words as per her understanding but the displeasure on her face was vouching for her failure.

"Shufen, I clearly remember that when you were in Europe with me, you always disliked having broccoli on your plate. Why are you forcing yourself with it now? This is definitely not you. Are you really going to force yourself just to please Li Xue?" Rayan said, hinting a little temper in her tone.

Hearing her that tone, Li Xue raised her brows at her, a pretty smile of nothingness playing on her lips that was enough to irk her enemies. Then taking her gaze back at the man, she put her arms at the table, placing her face on her palms as she said getting all sweet.

"Chen Yujian, though it is off work hours and your specialization is in desserts. But still, I am asking you something off-topic. That's something basic and I know you would know already", As she said with a pause, her lips got a little straight with sympathy in her eyes, "Can you please detail me about this green pitiful vegetable 'broccoli'?"

The young boy was all confused at first but since the question was already been asked he can't just remain mute on it, especially when he had a chance to flaunt his knowledge both in front of his Uncle and his supervisor.

"Yes, I know that," he said all confidently then started listing his knowledge. "Broccoli is a green vegetable that belongs to the species of Brassica oleracea and vaguely resembles a miniature tree. It's a good source of fibre and proteins and contains iron, potassium, calcium, selenium and magnesium as well as Vitamins A, C, E, K and a good array of B vitamins including folic acid. Its nutritional levels are classified as, 90 grams equals to 30 cal., 89% water, 2.5 grams protein, 6 grams carbs, 1.6-gram sugar, 2.4 gm fibre and 0.4 grams fat"

He said all in one go as if he was not speaking out of his memory rather was reading them from looking up in some source of information. The more Qi Shuai heard him saying, the more he felt that he should just include broccoli in his every meal. His mouth also opened and hung down, not knowing if he has judged this young boy too carelessly before. Looking at his abundance in such knowledge, he just felt that he had learnt nothing in his school days.

But at this moment, the little girl sitting at the side spoke up. "Brother Yujian, you are just a bit wrong with the numbers. I have always heard my Mama saying that in 90 grams of broccoli there are 1.5 grams of Sugar. Hehe … my Mama always gives me the information when she wants me to eat them without making any fuss over it, just like her sweet girl, right Mama?" The little girl said giving a light giggle, making the young trainee chef rub the back of his neck in little embarrassment.

Qi Shuai had no more words to comment. Now it was not like they seemed intelligent to him but more like he felt himself to be the non-intelligent one in the group. Sigh!! How come I have never paid any attention to all these things? Now even a 5 years old kid is better than me! He huffed internally in disappointment.

"Yes, there can be a little fault in numbers since it has been many years since I have last revised those books on specified nutritional contents. Thank you for correcting me, Li Wei. I really appreciate your knowledge", he said shyly and then looked at the woman beside him to get some of her words, but the woman's eyes were still busy looking sympathetically at the broccoli.

Seeing her getting so focused on the broccolis, his eyes too went to look at them trying to find what had been so special about it. Her gaze soon compelled everyone to follow her gaze in the same way. When she got enough attention, she finally let her words roll out.

"Umm these broccolis are so healthy yet it has to take our contempt. Look they look so hurt hearing such vicious words about themselves when all they need is appreciation. People look down at them saying they are not according to their likings while some say that they have been forced on to please someone. It's such a pity. Wait let me get them back. I just can't see them getting so hurt. They are so precious". She said and then motioned her chopsticks to get back the veggies she has served to Feng Shufen.

Chen Yujian, sitting beside her, was all dumbfounded at her words. Looking at her like this he just could not believe that she was the same woman who was so dominating and fierce in the morning. Right at this moment, she looked more like an innocent little girl who has never learned even the first letter of the word 'FIERCE'.

Feeling the pain for a cooked vegetable, was she trying to be Mother Teresa here?

But before even Li Xue's chopsticks could reach it, the broccolis disappeared. With just one swift movement it was picked up and was taken straight into the man's mouth, like it had been some kind of his favourite.

"Mhmm … that's not bad in taste", he complimented with a straight face and continued having his food, remaining all unaffected with the gazes around. Li Xue smiled internally. 'That was fun. Finally, I trapped Mr Beelzebub into my trap and made him eat something he does not like and at the same time …' her eyes turned to look at the woman at a distance with a smile. There was no smirk or achievement or teasing on her face rather it was just a smile of satisfaction. And that was way enough to make her work done.

Ryan gritted her teeth when she caught that smile on Li Xue's face. That was not a smile of victory against her, yet it irked her to the core. Standing up from the seat she said with slight frustration, "Shufen, will you be really like that? Are you really not going to give me any explanation about it?"

Feng Shufen did not care much about her words, but the tone which she was using made him furrowed his brows. "Do I owe you one?"

"You … How can you be this mean? You never liked this weird vegetable before but now since this woman is telling, you are savouring it like nothing can be better than this. Can you please give me a valid reason for such a change in your personality? Can't you see how vicious she is? She is changing you into what you are not?" Ryan was really angry and was feeling all aggrieved inside.

Feng Shufen shot her cold look and then said with firm stone. "The reason is all simple. I can't hate the things my woman loves. They are bound to be loved and preferred by me." Qi Shuai almost fell from his chair when he heard his words. Just how much savage can this man get?

Li Xue was again stumped at his words. Did she really win over Mr Beelzebub or was her success just her wishful thinking?
