Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue felt tongue-tied for a moment. She needed some time to decide whether she should say it all to the boy, or reveal just some fragments of it to ease his anxiousness. "Are you concerned for me? I thought you were more upset, to an extent where you won't care for me at all." She spoke, getting a bit off track to change the topic.

But Shin You Jun stood there all firm as he won't change his stance until he gets to hear the reply to the question he asked before. "Take it whatever you want to. I don't care at the moment. Just tell me, the thing you were talking about over the call … is it serious? Is there someone after you?"

Li Xue stared at him for a moment but then smiled, turning the other way to walk outside in the dining hall. "Huh? What do you take me as? I am a celeb, of course, there would be people after me. If you are doubting such a simple thing then aren't you embarrassing me?"

She said, shrugging her shoulders casually. Although the meaning of the words that the boy asked her was different, she efficiently molded it in a way that for once, it could easily escape anyone's realization without coming into notice.

And the same was about to happen with Shin you Jun as well. In her twisted reply, he was about to get distracted when the memory of Li Xue charging out with a fork flashed in his remembrance. Shaking his head, he forbade himself from getting distracted as he asked again, "Are you going to tell me the thing straight, or should I take these things to Ma and Pa?"

He threatened and Li Xue turned to look at him. Her expression was that of unease. "There is nothing to tell you about. You just overheard some talks between two friends which has nothing to explain to others." She said, and this time it was her time to come out all serious. Her expressions tugged in a frown, telling her that she had enough of this topic and doesn't want to discuss it any longer.

Shin You Jun looked at her while Li Xue turned to add. "The breakfast is prepared. Take your seat at the table while I will go and bring down two kids." She said and then was ready to walk away when felt a gentle hold tugging on her arms.

"Elder Sister, I want to hear even if you feel it to be unsuitable for me." He said and his voice came out simply like a young brother who was demanding his elder sister to bend down to his stubbornness. Li Xue turned to look at him, blinking her eyes with some strangeness; to which he further added to say, "I might be upset with you. To an extent where I won't return home and roam around the city the whole night. But that won't ever change the fact that you are my elder sister, not just by heart but also by the half-blood that we share."

"I may not understand why all those happened in the past. But I understand very well that even being related to everything that happened in the past, you are not the one to get blamed. So even being upset with you, I would still care for you. Even after saying that I don't care for you, I would still care for you. That's something, I can't change, for you are my elder sibling and I am your younger one."

He said and his words like that were something that blanked out Li Xue for a moment. Although she knew that the boy's anger was just out of the moment, she still expected something like this to come. To say that she was stunned would be an understatement because she was much more than just stunned. She was more speechless.

Although it wasn't a romantic confession, between the siblings such pure confession of the depth and seriousness of the relationship was nothing less than it.

"You … you are making it sound so serious. I knew you weren't seriously upset. You don't have to make it sound so emotional." Li Xue said, awkwardly reaching out to pat the young man's shoulders. "Come, sit down now. We will have rest talks later."

She said and as if getting all excited suddenly, the boy asked, "When? Are you going to tell me everything?"

Li Xue looked at his excitement and pressed her lips, "I thought you were concerned for me but seems like you just wanted a good story to hear." She said and Shin you Jun shook his head.

"What are you saying? Of course, I am concerned for you. It's just I am more excited to know the person who is behind all this. It would be fun to slaughter him or her with my hidden weapons." He said and Li Xue couldn't help but purse her lips at his plans.

What was he even thinking? Was it some adventure for which he is getting excited? Slaughter? She just hoped that he wasn't thinking that some dog or pig was after her life. That would be hilarious.

While one thing was solved on Li Xue's side, on the other side, Jing Wei Jin was still not at ease. Although he knew that he couldn't cross the line after Li Xue significantly mentioned it, he still felt he can't stay idle as well. The situation might not seem serious now, but he had a feeling that soon it might be getting out of control.

"Help me get the number of Feng Shufen." He ordered suddenly, looking at one of his men who was standing on his side.

The person looked complicated as for a good moment of time, he didn't move to follow his orders. Seeing him still standing at his place, Jing Wei Jin felt infuriated, "What? Do you want to book an appointment with an ear specialist now?"

"Leader, Feng Shufen has been out of reach since last night.. We can't trace him and neither we can get his number."
