Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue's lips curled up in a smile, as leaning in she played with the upper edge of the goblet to say, "Seems like Ms. Yana has gotten surprised that a fragment of her mystery is already solved without coming to her notice."

Although the expression on Yun Yuchun's face changed, the change didn't stay for long. Soon the surprise got replaced with an impressed smile as feeling proud inside, she said with a nod. "You have said it right. I have never revealed that part of my personality to anyone. So, I really was surprised when you unveiled me so easily."

She said and Li Xue didn't go over the moon hearing the lady praise her. She just felt she was hiding her awkwardness behind those words of praise. So, shrugging her shoulders, she simply commented. "It wasn't as tough as you are pretending it to be. You provided hints that were enough to reveal it at front."

"Is that so?" Yun Yuchun's brows arched up and Li Xue smiled nodding as if it was really nothing.

"Yes. After all, how else could a retailer sell an outfit that is yet to come out in the market? The possibility would only make sense if the retailer is the mysterious creator of the product. And you are like that. So, it wasn't that hard to guess it." She said and the other woman was not too surprised.

It was like she had already guessed her source of knowledge. Smiling, she nodded, "No doubt. You have got the brains from your father. I wasn't wrong to guess that on our first encounter out at Sweet Delicacy."

Li Xue's eyes flashed with a glint. She still remembered her words from that day and it still irritated her to think that the woman knew it from before yet purposely kept it from her. Although she didn't know her reasons behind it, whatever reason it could be it still can't justify that the lady played with so many people.

"Now will you tell me what intentions you hold behind reaching out Yi Lan? I can tell it was not for simple help." Holding back her irritation, Li Xue said through her gritted teeth. She felt her patience thinning already but she knew with this one lady she had to hold her best.

Yun Yuchun smiled. The reason for her smile was unknown, but Li Xue felt that maybe the lady has looked through her vexation.

"What do you think? You have been so quick-witted to reveal the identity that I have kept hidden from the whole world but then another second you are there asking me the reason. I don't think you can't guess it, dear."

Li Xue paused but then chuckling with some frustration, she said, "I never want to be the quick-witted one in your case. You have always seemed to be wrapped around a mystery that I don't want to misinterpret. So, it would be better if you reveal it on your own."

She said and her words were enough to counter exactly with Yun Yuchun's. This was one of the traits of the girl that has always kept her in a favorable light in her eyes. She would never doubt that beside her son, she would stand any less. She had her strengths with which she would beautifully lead the Feng family as the future matriarch, outshining her ways for sure.

"Ms. Yana, I won't beat ar …"

Before Li Xue could say more, Yun Yuchun interrupted her with a smile, "You got a misconception there, dear. There is no mystery. I am just a businesswoman who was aiming to make some profit. After all, you can't deny that the Fengs would be spending wholeheartedly on the wedding of their youngest daughter. Where could I receive the better price for my designed wedding gown, if not from the Fengs."

She said, and even though it made sense, Li Xue was not the one to believe in that simple meaning. So, looking at the woman, she didn't hold the formality. "Do you think I would believe that?"

Yun Yuchun smiled. "Your belief? You think that will make a change to the reason, dear? The truth has been what I told you. There is nothing else whether you choose to believe me or not."

She said as she lifted her bag from the table ready to leave when Li Xue's voice turned grim. Although she didn't look at the lady while saying her words, Yun Yuchun could make out the dark expression she might have held on her face.

"Ms. Yana, I would never allow anyone to hurt people around me. You might not have the intention of hurting them, but I do not like your mysterious presence around us as well. So, please better not try doing anything and stay away from us. Take this as the warning or anything you want."

She said before finally looking up at the lady. Yun Yuchun looked at her for a moment, but then turning, she left. She would have walked out of the room taking another step but suddenly she paused. Without turning, she looked back over her shoulder to add.

"You said right. I don't have anything ulterior to do. But I can't stay away from the people I care about as well. Especially you, Li Xue. I have taken you as my responsibility and until I make sure of the things, I want around you, I won't leave. So, hold back your frustration. I have seen you are better in that."

Saying that she left. And behind, once again Li Xue was left in a mystery that was more than tough for her to resolve.

She has taken her responsibility? Why? Who was she to take her responsibility?

Once again, the lady has been successful in making her dumbfounded at the chain of her words. Can't she be a little easier on words? If she had been then half of her life must have gotten solved already.
