Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue's brows quirked up as wrinkling it for a moment she stared at Shen Bingling with confusion to ask, "Isn't it the other way round? I mean I clearly praised your existence in between royales just now. Which part of my words made you think like I was looking down at you?"

Shen Bingling's jaws clenched as looking with a grudge, she said, "You may have praised me on the surface but internally, you must be prepared to make fun of me once I will tell you I am not capable enough to do that. I know you can be as sly as no one can think." She said and Li Xue really wanted to chuckle at her exaggeration.

"Princess Shen, you might be best in making assumptions like that. But believe me, those are just your assumptions, not the reality. I really have no intention to make fun of you, especially when I actually need your help in mending the things that got ruined." Li Xue said before gesturing for the woman to get back on her chair.

And unknowingly, Shen Bingling agreed to it. Getting back to the chair, she shook her head to say, "Even if I believe that you have no intention, it would not change anything. I won't be of any help to you as this thing is simply not under my control. I might be the princess and also might have access to some power, but in the end, things end up according to the plans of my father."

Li Xue shrugged at the obviousness. In every family, the father held the position of command, it was nothing new. "Fine, you can always have a good talk with him and explain why the things turned like this. After all, you also know that whatever happened that day was something that was someone else's deed. We all just suffered from it."

"As for the suspension you got from Her Highness … It wasn't completely wrong since you did break the rules by bringing in the sharp weapon. Being a princess yourself, I hope you would understand from where that rage and judgment came of Her Highness." Li Xue added, not understanding what could make such a simple thing so complex.

Shen Bingling still looked at her and shook her head. "It's not as simple as you think. Though I am the daughter of my father, we don't share the casual relationship that normally daughters do with their fathers. We are royals and we have some restrictions and dignity to hold. So a discussion won't help even if I get an appointment to talk to him."

Although the expression with which Shen Bingling said that didn't provoke any doubt in the thoughts of Li Xue, still she couldn't believe that the royal life was so tough. Wasn't Shin You Jun brought up in the same royal family? Then how come she never saw him holding such restrictions around mother and father? He was all free and confident in bringing up his views at the front and never saw anyone questioning it.

"Wait, did you say that you would need to get the appointment to talk to your father?" Now Li Xue was getting curious. This was a way different than what she has thought. Will she also have to wait to talk to His Highness later? How different it would be? She already has a rare word exchange with him and later if she has to depend on the appointments, won't it be more difficult?

She thought internally and was shaken when realized what was she even thinking. Did she just take herself and Shin Tingming in the place of Shen Bingling and her father? Although it was not wrong since they did share that relationship, still somewhere it was different. Li Xue never thought that her heart would be able to accept the new relations so soon.

Shen Bingling nodded with obviousness. "Yes, my father always remains busy with the business thing, so I need to get his appointment every time I have something to tell him. And since right now there is big chaos in his company, I feel even if I try to get an appointment, I won't succeed, let alone have a talk with him on this issue."

Like having a chat with a friend, Shen Bingling shared. She, herself, has no idea when she became this comfortable with Li Xue. But now that she was talking with her, she wasn't feeling that bad.

Li Xue heard her and understood the scenario very well. Her lips pressed together as thinking for a moment, she turned to look back at Shen Bingling to say, "What if you take an appointment of your father, saying that you can help him? Will it be also not possible then?"

"Huh? Help him? Help him with what?" Shen Bingling's brows furrowed in confusion. But holding the utmost ease on her face, Li Xue simply nonchalantly nodded.

"Yes, help him with the chaos he is facing." She said and Shen Bingling was still confused. But before she could say anything, Li Xue interrupted her to add, "Wait, before you can again say that I am looking down at your capabilities, let me tell you that there is no rocket science that you would have to learn in helping him. I will guide you and it will be done. So tell me, if you say something like that, will it be possible to turn the things as we want."

Shen Bingling was skeptical, but thinking for a moment, she nodded, "I am not sure, but we can try. Maybe, it gets possible. But how will you guide me? You are just a model whose job is modeling. Do you even know what business is all about?" She asked and Li Xue's lips simply tugged at the corner forming a smirk.

Of course, she held an ace that the world is yet to know about.

"Don't worry about my business skills, just go and try getting the appointment with your father. For the rest, I will detail you later."
