Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1226 He found his one.

On the other hand, when every other person was busy in getting themselves lunch. Old Su was standing in the corner, seeking an explanation from his son. He had never gotten insulted as today. He felt like his favorite piece of meat was just a bite away when it was again robbed from him.

And not to remind him that this time it wasn't Shin Tingming, who brought him this bitter defeat but his daughter. At the moment, he was containing in all his anger just to not make people laugh at him more than they already were in their hearts.

"Su Ce, you better have a good explanation for whatever you did today. Otherwise, don't let me see your face again in the future." Old Su said as his eyes never eased the exasperation it was blazing with.

"Father, what are you even saying? Control or people would hear you." From the side, the daughter of Old Su said, trying her best to ease things before it comes to the notice of the people.

But Old Su didn't bother to listen to his daughter. Waving off her touch, he shrugged roughly to say, "What control? This boy has made me lose it all today. Ask him to explain and I might think of a way to control the unease I am feeling inside."

Su Ce pinched the space in between his brows. With his father's continuous scolding like this, he was feeling nothing but his head pounding badly. It was like he was holding a heavyweight over his skull. "Father, can we talk about this later? At this moment, I don't know how to explain things. I would do it once I sort the things on my own." He said and his words like that further flared up the old man.

Raising a finger at his son, he was ready to burst out but until then Su Ce had already turned on his heels to leave. But right when he could take a step forward, Li Xue approached them with a casual yet meaningful smile on her lips while in her hand, she held a glass of plain water.

She looked at Su Ce first before turning to gaze at the old man. Walking past the prince of East city, she extended the glass of water to the old man to say, "Mr. Su, you don't look quite good. I think you should have some water before your bad mood affects your health. Please." She said the old man just glared at her.

In Old Su's eyes, Li Xue looked just like a splitting image of Shin Tingming. Be it her confidence or the manner she carried herself, it looked like she was nothing but a piece that came out from the same cloth that was once designed for Shin Tingming. And that obvious fact about her further enraged him.

Gritting his teeth, he looked away from her and said in a suppressed tone. "It's okay. I am fine and it's not needed."

Li Xue looked at the man and then at the glass of water before shrugging off her shoulders in nonchalance. "Fine. If you don't want it now, I will keep it here. Have it when you feel like". She said, her smile not leaving his lips even for the slightest second. She was happy, and she wasn't the type to hesitate to show it off to others.

She then turned to leave but just when she was about to walk past Su Ce, her steps halted as she turned again to look at him before raising a brow of amusement and then turning again to look at the old man. "By the way, earlier before the poll started, I heard you doubting the integrity of my parent's relationship. I just wanted to say that you shouldn't have done that even though you have all good in your thoughts."

"…" Old Su frowned. But before he could ask what was that she actually meant, he saw the girl turn to gesture slightly towards Su Ce to add in her words.

"After all, if one's own house is built of glass, they shouldn't throw a stone over others. As karma returns with the speed of a boomerang. It's hard to dodge it." She said and then giving a last meaningful look to the three people, she turned to leave. "Anyway, I would take my leave now. Ma has asked me to have my lunch first. But when I saw you losing calm and breathing heavily from a distance, I decided to bring you a glass of water first."

Li Xue said and then without waiting for another second she left. Su Ce looked at her back as she walked away. To say, he was annoyed and irritated, but all that emotion was something he was feeling for himself. There was not a trace of annoyance he was feeling for Li Xue.

It was his fault that he became overconfident in himself and let his guards down. But he also couldn't completely blame himself. After all, until now, he never crossed paths with anyone who could give him the competition. But finally, today, he found his one.

Su Ce's lips curled up on their own as his eyes never left the sight of Li Xue until she disappeared into the crowd. Just when she did, he heard his father grumble behind him. "Was she the reason that you changed your attitude at the last moment of the time? What was she intending to say? What did you do this time?"

Old Su asked and Su Ce couldn't be bothered with him at the moment. Without giving any proper explanation, he said, "Father, let's not talk about this now." Then saying that he walked away, leaving his father fuming in anger.

When Li Xue reached the buffet area, she didn't find Shin You Jun anywhere around. She assumed that he must have taken his plate and found his corner to win the competition against her. She shook her head internally at the thought of it as she proceeded to take the food herself as well.

But just when she was about to get her plate, a commotion at a far distant corner caught her eye. She frowned before keeping the plate aside and walking to check what was happening there.
