Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Chen Rui stared at Li Xue in the mirror and paused for a moment. Maybe what she said before wasn't in her plans. Her lips opened to reply but her thoughts were still scrambling to think what exactly she could say.

After all, the existence of Yun Yuchun wasn't simple and couldn't be easily revealed. What if later it reaches the ears of someone, they don't want it to reach?

"Ma, what happened? Is there something that you can't reveal?" Li Xue asked. If she was best at something, it was in reading expression and at the moment she felt she had read right through her mother. "If that's something you can't, then it's perfectly okay. I can understand. It's just I felt based on her attitude that she must be someone managing things greatly. Like what people say about managing big families or businesses and all."

Li Xue spoke and only if, at the moment, she could guess which family or business the woman might have been managing, then half of the mystery of her life would have been solved. But there seemed still some time to get to that point.

Hearing the girl say that, Chen Rui shook her head and was about to say something but right that moment, Yun Yuchun came from inside, with her brows raised in amusement.

"Were you two discussing me?"

Chen Rui turned to look at her friend and at once got to understand what message her gaze held for her to understand. Smiling guiltily, she shook her head before nodding. "Yes, a sort of. I was just telling my daughter how good you are at commanding people and governing matters. That's all."

She said and quirking her brow, Yun Yuchun turned to look at Li Xue with a smile, "Oh that's nothing dear. It's just from the experience that I gain over time. You will learn them too when you become the matriarch of your family. The day is not far, just wait for it." She said and at her words, Li Xue frowned.

"Did you learn it being the matriarch of the family?" She asked, finding it something suspicious. Wasn't the lady not being the country in the past many years? Then how come her experience in management comes from family?

Both Yun Yuchun and Chen Rui felt their spines stiff. They paused for a moment as staring at Li Xue for a moment, Chen Rui turned to look at her friend, who in turn got back the twisting smile on her lips.

"Matriarch of a family? Definitely not. I am sorry if my words sounded like that. But what I mean was that – experience would help you learn better. As from where I learned all this ..." She said, turning slightly to the sideways to gesture the whole store to add, "It's all obvious. I have several stores and companies to look after. But you aren't the same as me in this field. You are a model and also a princess. Also, a soon-to-be-matriarch. You will have a different path of learning."

She said and Li Xue's stare become deeper at her. "Soon-to-be-matriarch? Now I am slightly taken aback. How do you come to know about that?"

Yuchun smiled with confidence. "I know many more things. But isn't it unnecessary for me to reason them out every time?" She said and Li Xue understood what she meant exactly with the mention of 'every time'.

"Xiao Xue, don't put too much thought into this thing, dear." At the time, when Li Xue was about to lose her patience with the woman, Chen Rui gently comes to press her shoulders. "About you and your relationship, I have told her. So, she knows it all."

She said and Li Xue turned to look at her. To which Chen Rui smiled and nodded in assurance. "Yes, I did tell her. Otherwise, she was willing to fix you up with her son. But before she could think more, I already said that you have found your love."

Although Li Xue felt something was amiss everything, she didn't want to doubt the assurance of Chen Rui. So nodding, she agreed to believe. But still, in her heart, she wanted to chase after what the lady, Yun Yuchun was hiding. She could feel rare connectivity with her. But it was just that she simply couldn't remember what that rare connectivity was all about.

Did she know the lady from before?

If yes, where did she know her from? And what exactly happened that made her forget her?

Li Xue's eyes squinted at Yun Yunchun as she stressed her memories to remember that one unique yet beautiful, elegant face. She doubts she would ever forget that face if she had seen it in her life.

"Oh yeah, Ma, Auntie has brought you the dress to try. Go and check it yourself. I feel this would look perfect for the day." Forcing herself to snap out from the train of thoughts, Li Xue looked at the dress in the hand of the lady before turning to tell her mother.

Chen Rui smiled when she checked the color of the outfit, Yuchun held it in her hand. "I feel the same. Let me try it and see then." She said as she gestured to a staff member to accompany for help.

The staff came forward and politely took the dress from the hand of one lady before following the other in the direction of the trial room.

Once they were gone, Li Xue turned back to stare at Yun Yuchun. Her lips curled up as smiling she looked at the other staff looking around her.

The lady understood her indication and at once ordered every other staff, "Rest of you go and look at the pair of accessories that would go along with the dress of Her Grace." She said, her voice coming out very soft and elegant, at the same time not leaving the hints of her intimidation.

Soon they were alone, with no one around. Yun Yuchun looked back at Li Xue and said, "I felt like you had something to say earlier. You can tell it now. There is no one around."

Li Xue smiled, before letting out a small chuckle. "Ah that's nothing, I just wanted to give you a heads up. You have really loved to see me unfolding the mystery of my existence, right? Now, I will give you another thing to enjoy because I will be unfolding your mystery soon. Wait for it. It would be way too interesting because you would be enjoying it yourself."
