Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue looked at Lin Xinyi. Her lips curled up warmly to give a smile that held several meanings in it.

"Are you talking about the girl who called you Mama earlier when I was on the call with you?" Lin Xinyi asked, cupping her hands on the table while looking more firmly at Li Xue. Her attitude of suspicion only became tougher on the mention of the little kid.

Under her such firm gaze, people would not have hesitated in cowering with embarrassment. But there, Li Xue sat with all confidence. Her eyes didn't hold any embarrassment, rather had a shine that was announcing confidently that there was nothing too embarrassing in her life which she couldn't face in the public or in front of people.

Her such confidence for a moment wavered the firmness of Lin Xinyi but she still sat waiting to hear what she had to say.

Li Xue's curl deepened as for a second she looked down on her hands, nodding. "She is my daughter, Sister Xinyi. My own girl. So, yes, the same girl whom you have earlier heard on the phone calling Mama". She said and that piece of information took Lin Xinyi off-guard.

"Your daughter?" The manager asked more in confusion than in anger. With her tone, she was looking in surprise. Like there was something in her thoughts that was not fitting in the picture.

Li Xue nodded. "Yes, Sister Xiny. I have a five-year-old daughter. And yesterday I visited her in the school where those reporters spotted me. I am sorry for the trouble I caused you, Sister Xinyi. Believe me, I wasn't being intentionally careless."

Lin Xinyi shook her head in disbelief while blinking her eyes, she asked again. "How could that be possible? Weren't you all clean from the scandal you have been involved in? Were all those fabricated proofs? No, that can't be. I have personally checked the authenticity behind those."

"It's not related to the scandal. Those weren't the fabricated proofs, Sister Xinyi. Those were right. Five years back I wasn't involved in the scandal. Don't worry, you have not supported the wrong person." Knowing the righteous attitude of her manager, Li Xue quickly pacified. She knew it was tough to explain everything but she was trying her best to do it so that no confusion is left behind. But at the same time, she could not reveal all of her past.

Lin Xinyi was confused but when she heard Li Xue saying that the proof provided to prove her innocence was right, she didn't doubt it. Given that she herself has checked its authenticity. But if that was correct then the only thing that could be proven wrong can be …

"Then… ?? Li Xue, don't try to twist the story. It is not your job to prove your boyfriend to be innocent. I said to you earlier if there is a problem, you could share it with me. I would try to help you out with my best abilities."

Lin Xinyi stated again and at her words, Li Xue couldn't help giving a light, sensible, humorous chuckle. Then keeping her politeness in check, she started, "Sister Xinyi, in this world is there really any proof of innocence? And even if there is, then one who is innocent already would never require it. Because no matter what he says the people would simply not believe him until and unless the true offender comes and accepts his wrong. And here I am that offender and am accepting it. Will you not believe it?"

"What should I believe, Li Xue?" Lin Xinyi was still in the dilemmatic thought, not finding herself capable of piecing things together. For the first time, feeling like she was not capable of taking the job for which once she thought of herself to be confident. "You are saying the scandal wasn't true but then again you ask me to believe that you have a five-year-old daughter. Does that mean you got married as well?

"…" Li Xue didn't say anything and her silence only made Lin Xinyi more terrified.

"Don't say you are married as well?"

Giving a sheepish smile, she shook her head. "You can say that, but we can't be too sure yet."

"What does that mean Li Xue?" The manager could not help but frown at her doubtful expression. Do you still want me to believe that your man is dependable? You already have a five-year-old daughter, yet he has not brought you the certificate from the Civil Affairs Bureau. What else do you want me to think of him?"

Li Xue coughed a little. Internally, she felt bad. "That, Sister Xinyi, I am to be blamed for it. he had already arranged but it has been because of me that we have yet not gone there to sign it."

"Do you want me to believe that? Why? Give a potential reason." Lin Xinyi asked haphazardly. She no longer wanted to hear the whole of the story. After getting so confused already, now she only wanted to know if the person was right or not. Since the girl was already having a daughter of that age, it would be good until she is taken well care of; getting provided with a good family.

Li Xue looked at her manager. Of course, she could already guess her thoughts of concern.  But her thoughts and concern didn't bother as she knew what confidence Lin Xinyi was looking into her.

"Sister Xinyi, I am living with my boyfriend in the same house, same room for more than six months now. Given our relationship as well as my enticing career that requires physical beauty to the extreme, what do you think would be our relationship in a close room? I mean in all these six months, how many times do you think that we have gone physical all the way?" She asked with a genuine smile, which only made the manager frown with the expression of slight dumbfoundedness.

"Li Xue, are you truly asking me that?"

Li Xue smiled and nodded. "Sorry if that question is offensive. But yes, I am just asking you to guess once."
