Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Li Na's gaze shot up to look at Li Xue as her jaws clenched, "What are you talking about? I don't have any idea." She straightforwardly denied and her denial like that almost made Li Xue chuckle in response.

Shen Bingling, who was standing on the side, was all dumbfounded. Her eyes widened hearing the words of Li Xue as she turned to look at Li Na before asking, "What did you say? It wasn't just her but someone else? Li Na, why did you then lie to His and Her Highness?" She asked, not understanding any reason. Everything seemed a mess to her.

Li Na's expressions turned sour. She looked indignant. "I have not lied to anyone. If you choose to believe me over her, I can't give you more explanations." She said and her attitude like that amused Shen Bingling to her core. This was the first time she had found her arrogance with her.

And will she still say that she wasn't lying? If not lying, how was she able to lose the fa?ade that she has been holding all these years then?

"Showing your attitude to me? Dear, who do you think you are? Don't forget that I am still the princess whom you can't dare to look into the eyes." She said and her words were the immediate reminder that brought the girl back to the ground.

Li Na bit her lips before looking away. "It's getting late. If there is nothing else, I would leave first. I have already said what I had to." She said before turning to leave. But just when she thought she could escape from the topic, Li Xue halted her tugging on her arms.

"You don't have to reveal the name as I already know who it was. But what terms made you agree with her, I want to know that. Are you sure, you don't want to tell me?" Li Xue spoke. Although her words were said with a smile, the expression that her face held was nothing but a sweet warning that could easily scare the wits out of anyone.

Li Na pulled back her hand as for a moment, she almost gave up. But the next moment, she gathered all her strength to ask, "A-Are you threatening me?"

Li Xue smiled. "I am not a daredevil to threaten anyone." She spoke nonchalantly but then shrugged her shoulders to ask, "I was just curious to know how an outsider got the hint that they can buy a person from royals. But seeing you now, I think I don't need an answer. I can already get it. You can go now."

She said, and Li Na didn't take a second-minute to flee away.

Shen Bingling stared at Li Na and advanced to catch but Li Xue held her back. "What? Why are you keeping me here? Are you going to let her go just like that? Please don't joke now." She said, pulling her hand from Li Xie's hold but no matter how she tried, it was futile.

Li Xue only let her hand go when Li Na was no longer in their sight. "Princess Shen, you know you are already so scary. Don't scare her more, or she might not survive the night." She said and Shen Bingling felt all dumbfounded at her words.

"Wait!" Pointing the finger at herself, Shen Bingling looked at Li Xue to ask, "Did you say that I am scary? It was clearly you who threatened her. Why are you blaming me now?"

Li Xue smiled. "Who is blaming you? I am just sharing the credit with my ally. Don't take it in a wrong way, Princess Shen." She said as she turned back, taking her steps in the direction of her car.

Shen Bingling followed along. "Who is your ally? I was just there proving myself innocent in front of His and Her Highness. Don't think too much."

Li Xue nodded, "Oh!" She spoke simply and her words like that tested every bit of Shen Bingling's patience.

Pausing in her steps, she looked to ask in disbelief. "Just an 'oh'? Is that all you had in the reply?"

Li Xue halted and turned back to her. Her demeanor was all calm and poised as if all the revelations that had been before never happened in the first place. "Princess Shen, it's already late. If you want, I can give you a ride." She said and her words like that further confused the girl.

Almost stomping her feet on the floor, she drew close to ask, "Are you real? Are you simply going back home now?" She asked and Li Xue nonchalantly nodded.

"Is there something else that I am forgetting?"

"Of course, you are. You are forgetting that you should go back inside the palace and let His and Her Highness know that there is someone else after your life. What if tomorrow there comes another attack? How will you be able to sustain it then?" Shen Bingling said on her princess instincts as she has always been the one who has been protected by several guards.

But Li Xue shook her head. "There is no need of getting so hyped up over this thing, Princess Shen. I can see that you are concerned about me, but I can handle this thing on my own. Don't worry. Ma and Pa already have a lot to look after, it's better to not raise their burden." She said but Shen Bingling looked skeptical about it.

"Are you sure you would be able to handle it?"

Li Xue smiled and nodded again. "I can definitely. Don't worry."

Right when they were concluding their talks, the voice of Du Fan interrupted from not a far distance to ask, "Madam, should I start the engine?"

Li Xue turned to look at him and then back at Shen Bingling to ask, "I have seen your car parked not far from here. Do you want to give your driver a call?"

Shen Bingling looked in the direction where her car was parked. Of course, she was a princess and she had a car and driver following her every time. But does she have to be dependent on them?

"Why should I give him the call? Didn't you offer to drop me by my home? I am accepting your offer. Come, let's go then." She said, before taking her steps to the car and efficiently getting inside the car to sit.

Du Fan was dumbfounded while Li Xue was all speechless. But could she do anything? Nope, she offered the ride which the princess had accepted. So. she would drop her home first.

"Mr. Driver, let's drop Princess Shen to her mansion first. Then we would return.." Li Xue said before getting inside the car as well.
