Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Zhen Qinrou still could not forget the night when all her plans shattered in just a blink of an eye. She has planned everything so well and was just a step behind to reach the goal when suddenly everything overturned on her. If she holds a grudge against Yun Yuchun for failing her attempt, she also hates the girl because of whom everything got ruined.

Though she has never seen the woman whom Yun Yuchun has used to save his son, her eyes still turn furious and red whenever her topic gets mentioned.

"By the way, what happened to that girl who got switched in that small nursing home, 5 years ago? Hope your men were capable enough to do a proper check on her. She hasn't conceived, right?" Zhen Qinrou asked, suddenly halting to turn back and to get her answer.

Pan Hong only smiled at her question as he said, "RouRou, believe me with some things. I am not as incapable as you think of me. Though I accept that one of my men was not equipped to guess the situation carefully and got himself caught, not every man in my group is the same. Especially the one whom I have sent after that girl".

The man said taking a pause but getting all prideful, he again continued, "Do you know how capable that boy actually was? Though now he is not working under me any longer, he has got several other gangs to submit in front of him and is currently ruling almost half of the mafia power in the world. I take him as my son for years now".

Zhen Qinrou sighed at those words. Giving out a deep breath of exhaustion, she asked, "I have just asked if there is no clue left with that girl? She has not conceived that year, right?"

Pan Hong shook his head as he said, "Nope, she must not have because I have personally asked my boy to wipe out every trace of the procedures run upon her. So, there is no way she would have conceived. More likely that the girl, herself, must be dead by now". The man said with utmost confidence.

On the other side in the night of darkness, a woman was standing all comfortably on the terrace of the house in Little Carnations, looking at a distant star with some longingness. Her eyes had some regret but also a roaring wave of determination.

Standing alone there with some nonchalance for some time, Li Xue finally pulled a small phone out to make a call. Once the call was connected, she said in a relatively heavier voice that came mysteriously to be like some male's voice, "This is The_Sharpest_Arrow, hope I am not yet forgotten there?"

The call remained silent for a good moment before a burst of excitement was heard on the other side.

"The_Sharpest_Arrow is back, finally our master is back"

"Our ultimate master is back!"

"Why are you being excited there, at least first check if the person on the other side is truly our master or if it is someone duping us"

"What are you telling? I am not a naïve one. I have thrice checked the number and it is none other but the same contact number our Master used to use. And did you forget a month or so back, The_Sharpest_Arrow has come online to give the tip regarding that fake sweety model, Wen Sying? This call is definitely from our Great Master!"

"Fine, fine, if that's so. Why are you sprouting nonsense here? Just proceed with the call. You are already wasting your time and also involving the Master in that great wastage. Now, come on, put the call on the loudspeaker".

"You …"

Several voices one after the other was heard on the call. Almost all are familiar to Li Xue's ears. Her lips curled a little to give a faint smile, as she said, "Okay, that's enough! I already got my welcome and have understood that none of you has forgotten me. Now, let's get back to the important work for which I am calling".

"You were the one to bring us together and then show us the path of living rightfully. We could never forget you, Master. We are happy that you are finally back to us. We have really missed you and your guidance around. Now that you are here, we are not going to waste any time. Tell us what your next orders are? What new adventure do we have to begin?" The young voice from the other side of the call said.

Just with the voice, the woman could feel the surge of enthusiasm, her return brought to them. Their yearning could be felt in their voices. Now, looking back, she was feeling guilty to leave everyone so abruptly just to forget her pain. How did she not think of anyone else? From when did she become this selfish?

"Master, you are still there?" When did not hear any response for quite some time, the people on the other side became a little impatient as they tried to confirm the presence on the other side.

The woman was also snapped back from her thoughts when heard them call from the other side, "Yes! I am sorry I tranced off for a bit", she apologized for her wrong and then continued, "And yes, there is a tip I have got to search for. It's a story from 5 years back, that is left still in the dark. But now I think it is time for us to bring some light to it. Time to search what happened in the fashion industry that made once fashion diva leave her career so abruptly".

"That, Master … wasn't she involved in that dirty scandal, 5 years back. She must have ruined herself on her own. After all ..."

The woman's fingers clenched at her side hearing the words. The person speaking was not at flaw. People do perceive the scandals the same way without even thinking if it was even true or false, without knowing the reality.

She was about to reason her investigation but just when she thought to say something, someone else on the call interrupted the former in his words before adding, "Who proved all scandals to be right? Since the Master has brought this new one to us, there must be something hidden behind. Let's just not presume the things."

"Furthermore, I, myself, have been a fan of fashion diva Li Xue's style and fashion. When I got the news of her being involved in some scandal, I was so devastated. I even thought to get to the depths of the scandal but before I could reach anywhere, the woman was all gone like she never existed in the first place", the soft voice continued.

Li Xue sighed with some self-disappointment and said, "I feel the same. The things seemed very mysterious to be taken as true. Let's get to the depth of it and then see. And reaching its depths, I would need all of your help. Will you …"

"Master, you don't have to ask. We are always there with you. Let's find things together!!" Everyone on the other side chimed in one voice.
