Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1129 - Not A Plan But A Job That You Took On Your Shoulders.

Shin You Jun was ready to follow Li Xue out but as if already sensed his plans, Li Xue turned to him before reaching out to pat his shoulders. "Aye, my young little brother, you have shown enough of your love and concern for me today. Now keep some for tomorrow as well. Rest at home and charge yourself for better, okay?"

She said and Shin You Jun felt embarrassed. He, himself, didn't want to behave like this with her. But he doesn't know why every time she is around him, he feels more and more responsible and protected of her. "You … who has love and concern for you? It's not me at least. And I was just thinking to drop you off at your place for the sake of Ma and Pa."

He said before turning to look at Chen Rui and Shin Tingming. "You would leave so late at night. They would get worried about you. So, I was thinking of them; not you. Did you get it?"

Li Xue could only shake her head internally at him. Chen Rui knew about the tactics of her son too. But she was in no mood to get in between the sibling's drama. "Xiao Xue, it's really getting late. You can take You Jun along." She suggested but Li Xue shook her head.

"It's okay, Ma. He must be tired as well. I have Mr. Driver outside waiting for me. It won't be trouble traveling late with him." She said, assuring the lady with confidence. And her confidence was not wrong like that since she couldn't dare to doubt the capabilities of the man who was gotten appointed by Mr. Beelzebub.

She said and Chen Rui nodded. Then turning, Li Xue was ready to leave when heard a soft mumble full of sullenness. "Heh! Pretending to care for me. But I know you mustn't just be willing to take me along."

Li Xue couldn't be more wordless. What was this boy? A four-year-old kid who still feels adventurous in accompanying the elders.

"Goodbye, young little brother! Will meet you soon and take you to accompany me around. Until then rest well at home." She said as she walked away, waving her hands.

Shin You Jun was really sullen. Although he didn't pout, he still stomped his feet on the floor to hmph. "I am really tired today. Since no one cares for me, I will care for myself and rest on my own. Bye, good night." He said and walked away, hmphing under his breath.

Chen Rui looked at the attitude of her boy and could only shake her head. "This boy could get childish to an extent which we could never think. Tingming, I am saying, if we remain liberal with him like this, he would never grow. At that time, you better not say, he is still too young and would learn everything with time."

She said, reprimanding her husband all gently. But her words like that took a pause when she saw the man not responding to her. Reaching out to tug him, she asked, "What happened? Is there something? You look in deep thoughts."

Shin Tingming was looking in the direction where Li Xue left. When he felt the tug on his arms, he looked at his wife and shook his head, "Nothing serious. I was just thing so and so." He said, not being too definite in his words.

Chen Rui frowned at his lack of words. "Finally, Xiao Xue has come to accept us as parents; now what is keeping your thoughts occupied? Tell me. I want to know."

The man's expression turned serious. Looking back in the direction of the entrance, he said in a voice laced with some confidence. "I feel that girl, Li Na has not done everything of her own will. There is someone else involved in it." Given the experience he held in this world, Shin Tingming could already guess which person could go to which extent. And looking at the girl before, he felt that such a hideous plot of taking someone's life couldn't come out of her small brain.

At the same time, outside, when Li Xue walked, she looked around as if searching for someone. But her search was definitely not for Du Fan as the driver has been standing all ready for her near the car.

"Mr. Driver, has Xiao Meng left already?" She asked, not finding the girl around.

Du Fan nodded. "Yes, Madam. Earlier it was getting late for her so she called a cab and left."

Li Xue understood and then again looked around. "Okay, just give a few more minutes. I will come and then we will leave." She said and then again walked a distance to look around. But however, she looked, there was no one. 'Did she leave already?' she thought internally and right at that moment, a voice proved her wrong.

"Are you looking for me?" Shen Bingling appeared from the darkness and beside her stood Li Na.

Li Xue looked at them and smiled. "Oh, for a moment I thought that you must have left already. Good to see that you didn't." She said as she took a few steps to walk closer to them.

Shen Bingling folded her arms over her chest. "Now I regret. I should have left you standing here. Anyway, now that I haven't, tell me why did you texted me to wait for you here. And also, why did you ask me to keep her here as well." She said, gesturing towards Li Na.

Li Xue looked at her and then at the other girl to say, "Ah I just wanted to confirm something that I already know. If you allow me, can I?" She said, pressing an obvious elegant smile on her lips.

Shen Bingling didn't understand but still stepped aside. "Sure, your will. Not like I still take her as my friend, whom I need to protect from you."

Unknown about their own conversation, neither of the two realized when their tone started sounding like two princesses from the same palace. They had the elegance suiting the same family while they also sounded like sisters from far relation.

Li Xue looked at Li Na. Her gaze turned all serious all of a sudden, erasing all the playfulness she had before. "Ms. Li Na, although you have taken the blame on yourself, we both know that ending my story like that in the fencing arena was not just your plan.. Rather it was just a job that you took on your shoulders for benefit. Isn't it?"
