Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"Who said you have not taken after your mother, dear? From where I am seeing, just a look of you is telling me how you are the daughter of your mother." Shin Tinming said as taking a slow stroll he entered the living hall with his hands at his back.

Earlier, he was in a very important administrative meeting, busy hearing the agenda plans of his ministers when his assistant came to inform him about the call he received from Butler Cao.

Hearing him inform the arrival of Li Xue made him adjourn the meeting immediately, and leave the conference room without paying heed to the shock and surprise-filled glances the ministers sent his way.

Usually, he would never leave the meeting like this, until it is something really important to him. So when he left, he knew people behind him were all curious to know what had happened but neither he had time to tell them nor they held the importance to know about it.

When heard his voice, Chen Rui turned to look at her husband with a smile and Shin You Jun quickly scooted behind his mother with some fear. His father's arrival like this was a little unexpected for him as he knew that he was in an important meeting.

But then it was his wrong to overestimate his luck, especially when in front of him stood Li Xue. It was a set record that whenever he was around Li Xue, his luck was at its worst. Be it the bike race, or the Western Arcade or at the breakfast table, or even today. He could expect better to come around her.

Seeing the Royal Majesty arrive along with the Butler, other servants also bowed their heads. Li Xue also thought to do the same, but her princess held her locked in her embrace, without letting her go.

Noticing her difficulty, Shin Tinming allowed her to be at ease with a blink of his eyes while he walked closer to add more. "I am sure all these adorable habits and gestures you hold in your personality are like your mother. And all of this is like this because you are her daughter. And you were bound to be like her." He said, coming to stand near her with his hands at his back.

Little Li Wei was adamant about not giving in at first but when she heard him saying something she had not heard before, she became curious to know more. Wiping off the tears without letting them come to anyone's notice, she turned to look at the man and asked, "Really?". She might have wiped off the tears from her eyes but her chubby fair cheeks still held the stains of it.

Looking at her like this anyone's heart could melt and Shin Tinming was no exception. It was more like he could feel a more special bond with her. Seeing her with that tear-stricken face, something ached inside him and he immediately nodded.

"Of course. I am the royal king of this country. I would never lie. And it's not necessary to only take the features of parents on the surface. Children also take their parent's abilities and character. And you have taken after your mother's abilities and character. Strong, pretty, and adorable! Isn't that better?"

The little girl heard him and then turned to look at her mother for confirmation. And seeing her turn to her, Li Xue nodded. And after a real good time, finally, again a smile got over the little one's face and the people around heaved a sigh of ease.

Just with her tears, the whole palace was feeling and everyone was praying inside to see the little smile again. And finally, that cheerful smile came, lightening everything around.

"Of course, WeiWei has strictly learned everything from her Mama. She has never forgotten even a single thing that Mama has said to her. She is her daughter and her prettiest one." Little Li Wei said as pouting her lips, she turned to narrow her eyes at Shin You Jun who was standing at a distance.

The others looked at her attitude and smiled while the young Crown Prince could just scratch the back of his neck. "It's fine. I already said I was just playing around. You are definitely the daughter of your mother or else how would I not win against you?" Shin You Jun said and instantly felt his mother and father's glare at him. And feeling wronged, he whined, "What now? I am just saying things in her favor now. Where am I wrong? Don't glare at me like that. I am your son after all, and you have not got me from someone else."

"You Jun, you …" Chen Rui thought to add a boundary for his son but her words were halfway interrupted with a melodic chuckle. Her eyes turned to look at the little one whose melodic laughter like this was far far better than her cries from moments before.

"Haha … Little-belittle Uncle, you aren't wrong. I was wrong to get over-sensitive about it. WeiWei usually isn't like this. But sometimes …" Little Li Wei said and as if shocked, Shin You Jun interrupted with some disbelief.

"Hey, little! Are you apologizing to me?"

Little WeiWei nodded without any second thought. "Yes, WeiWei was wrong earlier, so she has to apologize. Mama has taught me that way. Right, mama?" She said before turning to ask Li Xue to confirm.

Li Xue hummed and nodded as well. And the little girl turned back to look at the young prince with a smile. "See, Little Belittle Uncle, I am not wrong to apologize." She said and hearing her sensible talks, others around smiled. Chen Rui and Shin You Jun at the most.

While Shin You could only nod. Since Li Xue was around, he better keep the hold of his countable luck. Or soon, it would run out in number and he would have to cry. That would be embarrassing.
