Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Yun Yuchun's lips curled up as she slowly turned around to say, "If you had fun witnessing it, then being the master conducting the show, definitely, I must be enjoying it as well. Anyway, did you come here to find me, dear?" She asked with soft endearment and Li Xue almost chuckled at her pretentious eased personality.

"I don't think there is any need for me to find you. I feel like destiny has tied me up with you. Every other week, my ways coincidently collide with you." Li Xue spoke and her sarcastic words like that only made Yun Yunchun chuckle.

"Really? Haha … if this is the case, I feel it's good. After all, this way I get to see you often and every time I get to meet you, we share interesting words. Isn't it nice?" She said and Li Xue simply stared at her.

Although the lady looked harmless towards her, Li Xue still had an inkling that said that something was more into her character. The lady wasn't as simple as she pretended to be.

"Can we talk?" Li Xue suddenly asked, gesturing to her in a direction. Yun Yuchun stared at her for a moment and then, nodding, she agreed at once as if rejecting Li Xue has never been in her plan.

Soon, they got settled in the room. Yun Yuchun didn't initiate any talk, instead, she just sat there looking at Li Xue as if she was waiting for her to start.

Li Xue read her expressions very well but she didn't go desperate, instead, she pulled out her phone, and called Yi Lan. Under the watchful gaze of the woman she began, "Yi Lan, while coming here could you please bring me my favorite cupcakes from Heaven's Bakery. I am having a craving for it."

"But darling, that bakery is on the other corner of the city. If I go there and get them, I might reach a little bit late." Feng Yi Lan spoke, her voice held a suspicion but Li Xue knew she would not think too much about it, so added.

"No problem, Yi Lan. I have booked the room for enough time. The restaurant won't kick us out until you get here and we finish our dinner. So, you can take your time. But don't forget to bring the cupcakes. We would have that in our dessert, okay?"

She said and heard Feng Yi Lan hum on the call before disconnecting it.

Yun Yuchun smiled. Looking at Li Xue with meaning, she said, "Seems like you want to have a private chat with me."

Li Xue nodded with a hum, looking down at her phone and then keeping it aside. "Yes, of course. If not for the private chat, what else do you think I can invite you here then? You are no less than a stranger to me. But the interesting part is that even though you are a stranger to me, you still know a part of me that I don't know myself." She said while her lips curled up complimenting the glimmer of sharpness in her eyes.

"You might not know it now, but you would know it soon. The start has already begun, hasn't it? Don't worry, you will be there in the due time or even before that." Yun Yuchun's stance didn't waver, and neither did her expression change. Sitting there, she just said all that as if she was giving a hopeful assurance to the girl.

Li Xue's lips drew in a thin line. She felt her endurance on the silver line. But still able to control herself well, she took a deep breath in before asking in a voice that didn't sound stern but it was also no less than that.

"I am interested in knowing anything but your real intention, Ms. Yana. So, it would be better if without giving me riddles, you speak to the point and tell me about it."

She said and at her words like that, the woman's brows arched up. Still putting a smile over her lips, she asked, "What do you mean?"

Closing her eyes, she held onto her patience and said, "Why are you aiming towards the people around me? First, me; then my mother and now, you have even reached out to my friend? What are your plans exactly?"

The air paused around as for a moment there was complete silence. Li Xue looked at the woman sitting across from her, but she didn't look like she had any intention to speak. Still, she was also not the one to give up that easily. If the woman wants to sit and take the time, then she would give her the time but would hear what she wants to hear from her. Her real intentions.

After a while, the old lady smiled as if she was amused to hear all that. Looking at Li Xue, she simply asked, "You mean to say I have reached your mother, Chen Rui, just to aim at you? Do you think that makes sense?"

Li Xue's fingers clenched. Staring at the woman, she knew what trick she was pulling. She was just twisting the thing to switch the topic into something else. Her lips curled up to not give the woman the pleasure that she was seeking. Then shaking her head, she denied, "Nope, not at all. You are a friend to my mother that too from her university days. That can't be for my sake."

"What I am asking is why did you reach my friend and promised her to arrange her dream wedding dress, Ms. Yana. Or, should I call you Ms. Weasley. I don't find any sense to this other than you might have a hidden motive behind it." Li Xue added, and that was for the first time in all their encounters that she saw the woman's expression change.

As expected, she might not have thought that Li Xue would be able to figure it out.
