Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved



Li Xue was surprised but she didn't let that expression appear on her expression for long. Composing herself and bringing a smile, she looked at the mirror and said, "How much is left?" 

The stylist paused at looked at her in the mirror, "We are almost done, Ma'am. You have been done, just a bit of makeup is left. Few more minutes and everything will be done."

"Then could you excuse us for few minutes. We will call you when we are done." Li Xue asked in a humble tone and nodding to her, soon everyone left. And once they were gone, Li Xue stood up and turned to look at the lady. 

"Although I imagined you while designing the dress, even my imagination was not so beautiful. I must say I do hold some credits." Saying that with a smile, Yun Yuchun walked near Li Xue and adjusted a few folds of her dress." 

Since Li Xue had already decided to let go of the past, she let the lady make her adjustments and when she was done, she looked up to admire her once again. 

"Thank you! Not just the dress fits me well, but even the design is beautiful. I really …" 

Before she could even complete, Yun Yuchun shook her head, "The design is beautiful because it speaks of you and about fitting it well, isn't that the specialty of customization." As she said she smiled. Then looking at her, she reached to take her hand on her own. 

Li Xue didn't understand her intention. She tried to look at her face to guess some hints because Yun Yuchun had kept her head dipped down, her expression was not on show. 

"Ms. …" Li Xue was about to ask her but suddenly Yun Yuchun looked up and Li Xue paused finding tears in her eyes. 

"Li Xue, thank you." She said, and that further confused Li Xue. Her brows jutted and seeing her like that, Yun Yuchun continued, "I received the invitation to the wedding and I can't play ignorant thinking that suddenly my son forgave me overnight. I am sure there must be someone putting efforts to mend our relationship." 

She said, and Li Xue understood it well. "It's not for you, moth… Sorry I mean, Ms. Yun. I did what I felt was right. You did wrong and for that you should be punished. But just to get you punished, I can't let my Shufen suffer the equal pain. I can't see him suffer. And knowing that he was receiving the equal pain while punishing you, tell me how I could let him bear it. So, I will do my best to mend." 

Yun Yuchun stared at Li Xue's modesty and couldn't help but smile. Then giving a small pat on the back of her hand, she said, "People may have other motives in their thoughts. But as long as they benefit you, you should be appreciative of it. I believe in that philosophy. So even though your thoughts are not to help me, I still appreciate your effort. Thanks a lot. Also, by telling your true intention, once again you prove me right. I wasn't wrong about you before."

She said and Li Xue raised her jutted brows slightly. To which the lady smiled and helped her. "I am talking about my decision from before. I was right to choose you for my sone. No one else can be as good as you to him. You make me proud of my decision."

Li Xue's fists clenched on her side and her face hardened at her words once again. She has tried her best to not remember that forgotten past even at the sight of the woman but for some reason she felt that the woman liked to get on her nerves. Maybe this was what society always speaks about - the unique relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. 

The mother-in-law will never let others bully her daughter-in-law but at the same time she will make sure that she never let her forget what the sweetest torture was all about. 

Li Xue's lips curved up in a disdainful smirk. "You can be proud of me for all you want, Ms. Yun. But don't be delusion to think that I forgive for all you did before. I am trying to make Shufen forget what happened in the past, but knowing what he suffered, I will never ask him to forgive you. So, thinking my efforts are in your favor, you are just fooling yourself." 

She said and behind her words, anyone could feel her irritation. Although there was smile on her expression, still she made no attempt in hiding her irritation. 

Yun Yuchun never considered Li Xue to be someone out of her family. Like Shufen and Yi Ran, she has also considered her to be one of her children. So even though Li Xue's words might have offended someone else, Yun Yuchun felt not even an ounce of offense. She just stared at her and smiled. 

Feeling the situation getting awk, Feng Yi Lan quickly stepped in between to ease the things. Even though she tried, she couldn't hide the awkward smile from appearing on her lips. "Haha … it is such an auspicious day. But Ma, can I ask you something? I am really intrigued about something but not sure if I should ask or not." 

She said and Yun Yuchun turned to look at her before giving a small nod to her. To which Feng Yi Lan coughed to let go her hesitation. 

"Ah that, I saw that the dress has imprinted the symbol of Weasley, the legendary designer; and before you said that you have designed this dress. Does that really mean you are the legendary designer, Weasley?"

Yun Yuchun looked at Feng Yi Lan and her eyes slightly curved. Zhen Qinrou might be an enemy but this girl has no shadow of her and that's what made her accept readily as her children's other sibling. She took a step to her side and lifted her hand to cup her one cheek. "If you ever want to know more about her, you know where to find me. I will always welcome you." Saying that she turned to look back at Li Xue and said, "Now is not the time. Xiao Xue needs to get ready. As the stylist to come in and finish their work. I will go out and wait." 

Saying that she turned and was about to leave but then suddenly she paused. Keeping her back to them, she looked over her shoulder and said, her words directed to Li Xue, "I won't mind if you call me mother. You shouldn't hesitate in that." 

Li Xue understood well but keeping a countering smile, she replied. "That wasn't a hesitation, Ms. Yun. I was simply not comfortable in addressing you as mother. After all, never for once I felt your motherly instincts for me."
