Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

While taking the slow sips on his cold coffee, Shin You Jun patiently heard everything Li Xue had to say. His expression didn't change all along and that kind of surprised Li Xue for she has said almost everything to him, omitting the truth of her own. She was not sure if she should even reveal it to him.

Although he seemed mature, he was still young and she was not sure if he would be able to understand the things she did. So, for the time, she kept it away from him.

"What? Don't you have anything to say to me?" Li Xue asked when she saw the boy still casually sitting.

"Huh?" As if woken from some trance, Shin You Jun feigned casualness in his tone before asking with abruptness, "Was I even allowed to talk? I thought I was here just to hear you."

He said and Li Xue just gave a look to him that made him chuckle hard, almost garnering everyone's attention from around.

"Haha … okay, okay, don't give me that look. I heard you all but I felt nothing weird in it. What should I say then?" He said shrugging his shoulders before leaning forward to keep the cup on the table.

Li Xue stared at him and still felt uncomfortable. "You feel that there is nothing to say even after I told you all that? After registering under the family, I would be given the title of Crown Princess. Are you fine with that? I don't know what changes it would bring to others, but I am sure it would bring great changes to your life. So …"

"Elder Sister, did you come here after seeing some weird royal family dramas?" Interjecting Li Xue's words in the middle, Shin You Jun asked. "But let me say something for a change. In reality, there is nothing like those dramas. In reality, people don't get that greedy. So yep, there is nothing I feel like saying into this, other than one thing that – you are overthinking, Elder Sister."

Li Xue's expressions grew deep as looking somewhere distant, she shook her head, "People could be far more greedy than you could imagine. You might just not have come across them yet." She said, trancing off for a moment and it was not hard to tell where her thoughts were travelling to.

Shin You Jun looked at her and he remembered the words of his mother from the other day as well. 'The girl has suffered more than you think, You Jun. So, we should treat her well.' Those words were still fresh to his ears because, with the seriousness with which his mother had said it all, he knew how serious she was with those words. And he didn't mind as well. He had already taken her as his sister and now that she was his sister, he would definitely treat her better.

Seeing her trancing off, he pursed his lips. He doesn't want to be like a bad brother but this woman was clearly making him look like one. How could he take it? Sighing to himself, he reached out to wrap his arm around her shoulder, cheering her, "Hey, Elder Sister, I don't want to imagine. Why should I? I know I am not one of those greedy types and when I get one of those types, I will have you. With your experience with them, I will surely not be robbed. So why should I even care?"

He said and Li Xue was snapped out from her thoughts. She looked at the boy's easy manner and it was not hard for her to know the intention behind his words. She smiled internally but eyed him with amusement at the front. "You believe me so much? I thought for you I was still a witch. Then how did you become so easy-peasy with me today? Huh?"

Shin You Jun at once scooted away. Reaching out to scratch the back of his neck, he said, "Ah that … that, you are still a witch and will always be. But witches have the category too. You are a good witch. So, I am deliberately forced to believe you."

He said and Li Xue nodded, still eying him with suspicion. "Forced to believe me?"

The boy nodded, "Of course. What else do you think? Ma and Pa have asked me to be that way. Furthermore, you proved it as well. First in front of that prick like Su Ce and today, in front of that Guan Zai. So ultimately, I believe you."

He said and Li Xue shook her head at his reasons. But his words also made her smile. She could no longer hold back. Laughing softly, she let her emotions flow.

Shin You Jun paused as her smile seemed so soothing to his eyes. His lips curled on his own as smiling he said, "Elder Sister, you don't have to worry. Taking the title of royal heir, you are not hurting me or bringing any change in my life. I will always be there for you. Being the prince or without being the prince, because for you I will be your younger brother even without the relation of blood."

He said and his words held the depth that halted Li Xue for a moment. Her laughter paused as getting still for a moment, she didn't know how she should respond. Inside her heart, somewhere she felt guilty. The guilt of hiding the truth from him.

Was she doing the right thing? She doesn't know. But whenever she thought of telling him the truth, she remembers the doubt Feng Yi Lan shared with her. What if he couldn't accept her then? After all, he was still young and may not have the maturity to accept things in the right way. Wouldn't it be another problem then? Not for her but for Pa who was all perfect without any flaw in his personality.

But then again, seeing his trust in her, she doesn't want to ruin the relationship with him as well. And to keep the relationship healthy, it was important to maintain honesty and trust in it.

Li Xue stared at the boy and gave some thought of her own before finally turning all serious to say, "You Jun, I know the relationship of heart and feelings matter more.. But what if I say that we also shared the same blood?" She said, not missing even the tiniest change of expression on the boy's face.
