Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1175 Lord has not sent me here to do some simple charity.

"Nope, not truly. For I know you are much like your father with whom I have known and shared my university days. I was just disappointed in myself that I let it slip out of my mind at that time." Yun Yuchun spoke with ease as a soft yet smug smile rose on her lips.

Li Xue looked at her like that and the smile on her lips paused for a moment. But noting the people around, she again tugged her lips up to not make her gruesome mood very obvious.

Although there was a smile on her lips, that smile of hers was changing the expression she was holding on her face. Her eyes were still sharp at the lady and that was beautifully contrasting with the tug on her lips.

With just a glance at her right now, Yun Yuchun was able to understand what must have enticed her son so much into her. It wasn't just fate that contributed or not just on the basis of what she planned, but something more than that.

"Do you not feel guilty ever? What makes you so confident in your stance?" Drawing closer, Li Xue asked. "You knew everything from the start, yet you played your mysterious play to keep everyone in dark. Do you think that was fun?"

Her words like that weren't the accusation but it was more like a challenge that amused Yun Yuchun to her core. Smiling, she changed her standing stance before coming to stand in a way that her gaze got more focused on the girl. "Fun or not, that was up to me to decide. But you tell me when did I kept anyone in the dark? Did I ever?" She asked, blinking her eyes before shaking her head in denial on her own.

"Nope, dear. I never did that, instead, I always gave you the hints to find it on your own. After all, who was I to say to all that you come to know now? And even I have said, would you have ever believed me in the first place?"

She said and her words twisted Li Xue's nerves. "I … I would have …" But for instance, thinking, it didn't sound too wrong.

"No, no, no, girl. Don't say you would have because both of us knew you would never have. Although you loathed your parents, they were still the ones whom you believed to be. So, no matter what I would have said you wouldn't have believed me."

Shaking her head again to her half-said words, Yun Yuchun continued and once again Li Xue felt herself getting lip tied at her words.

"The very first day that I have met you … remember, outside the dessert shop. I told you something and, on your face, and eyes, it was written that you didn't care to believe even a word of mine. Leave all that, tell something different …" The lady said as her lips tugged deeper in a meaningful smile to add, "Why should I care to reveal the things to you? I am a friend to your parents, not to you. So, helping them is an obligation to me. Helping you to solve a mystery was never my concern. So, I never cared. What was there for me to be guilty of? After all, Lord has not sent me here to do just simple charity."

She said and her words like that were nothing but mockery to Li Xue. She couldn't understand what was this woman all about. There was a mixed vibe in her that was confusing her yet every time. Every time that she was meeting her, it was like she was dwelling with herself, thinking if the woman was good or evil. But every time it was hard to tell.

Same as now. She was feeling annoyed at her attitude but at the same time had the feeling that she had a reason for which she restrained. After all, it wasn't a lie that if told before she might not have believed her words. It was only believable to believe the truth after she went through the course of knowing it. But still, if there was a reason, she needs to know that.

"Lord might have also not allotted you the job to confuse people out of nowhere. But you still do, right?" Li Xue said, almost restraining herself from gritting her teeth.

Yun Yuchun quirked her brows before giving a nod of appreciation. "Ah, there you asked something worthy. Yes, I do confuse people but that's my choice. But wait, I don't confuse everyone. I do that only with the ones whom I find necessary. Like you. Otherwise, the world has never been my concern until it comes to relate with the ones, I consider my world." She said and her lips curled up in the assurance that confused Li Xue.

But before she could get the time to ask her about it, Chen Rui came out to show, snapping them out from their little chat. "How is this looking? Is this fine?"

Li Xue turned along with Yun Yuchun to only find a lady trying some outfit. She looked elegant in it but for some reason, Yun Yuchun shook her head. "Not this one. Wait, sit awhile. I will get you something that would fit you well." She said before walking away, gesturing for staff to follow along.

Chen Rui looked at her and didn't object. Instead, she turned to face the mirror and looked at herself before asking Li Xue, "I felt this piece was good. Is it not?"

Li Xue looked at her and smiled. "It looks good on you Ma. But I feel Auntie must have something better in her treasure. After all, she knows you better."

Chen Rui nodded, accepting, "Yes, she does. Furthermore, she also understands these things better than anyone else. After all. commanding things to bring it to exact proper-ness was her forte before. And it's still a skill of her today." She said and Li Xue's brows tugged together to ask.

"Huh? What does that mean? Was she some governor or head of some organization? Whom she used to command?"
