Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue sat alone at the table. It was hard to tell what happened earlier, but her expressions looked complicated. But there was also a relief on her face like she had let go of the burden she had on her heart. 

After a while, she looked up and her expression eased. Taking a deep breath in, she released all the stress she was feeling inside. "It's okay, Li Xue. You did the right thing. Truth can't be kept hidden always. Saying it honestly was the right thing. Also, he had the right to know everything. Now accepting it or not is his choice. Let him decide." She comforted no one but herself in particular. 

But her expression changed again when again the disappointed face of Shin You Jun flashed in front of her eyes. Reaching out her phone, she couldn't prevent herself from calling Chen Rui. 

On the very few rings, the call was received as from the other side the voice of the lady came all sweetly. "Xiao Xue!" 

"Ma, I don't know if I did the right or wrong but I told You Jun the truth. And he left after, without saying a word". She said and her words like that silenced the air on the call. Li Xue could feel it already. But before she could think of saying anything, Chen Rui broke the silence on her own to soothe her anxious heart. 

"It's okay, dear. You did the right thing. Sooner or later, he would have come across it. It's better that he didn't come to know it from an outsider." Chen Rui said but, in her voice, Li Xue could already feel the difference. 

Biting slightly on her lower lip, she asked with a doubt, "Really? I think that was something that never struck in your ideas." 

Chen Rui paused and then hummed. "Yes, it never struck in us and I won't lie to you. If you would have not told him today then we may not have even let him know it in any way, thinking it to be unnecessary." She said and Li Xue was ready to apologize for working on her own will but paused when heard Chen Rui adding more of her words. 

"But now that I think I feel you did no wrong. After all, we can't hide it from him forever. Sooner or later, he would have come to know it. It's better to let him know about it now itself." She said and Li Xue felt the same. 

"I agree with that as well. But I was still a bit rash while doing it. I should have guessed the coming consequences first. Now that he is gone without saying anything, I don't know where to find him." She said, looking out of the french window where the sky was already reaching towards the late afternoon and nearer to evening. 

Chen Rui was rejected. "Why do you have to find him. It will be already evening soon; you should return home first. Earlier you have visited your company as well, you must be tired. Get back home. You Jun will return on his own." She said but Li Xue was about to reject when Du Fan's voice came to interrupt. 

"Madam, we would have to return home urgently. Sister Margaret called earlier and she said young little miss is not feeling well." He said and Li Xue's brows tugged in a frown. 

"It's okay, Xiao Xue, don't worry about You Jun. For how long I have known him, with so many questions in his head, he would definitely come to find me ultimately. And when he comes to me, I will make sure to guide him well. Don't worry, he won't stay upset for too long." She said and disconnected the call. 

Li Xue has nothing to say, nor has she had any solution to it, except for giving some space and time. 

"Mr. Driver, is WeiWei already home?" Li Xue asked suddenly turning towards Du Fan, who shook his head. 

"Nope, Madam. When Sister Margaret called me earlier, she said that she has received the call from the school, informing about young little miss's change in health. The authority would be escorting her back soon." He said and Li Xue was already ready to leave. 

It was rare for WeiWei to get sick and since she was sick this time, Li Xue couldn't take it easy. Her brows didn't pull in ease, instead, she quickly instructed Du Fan to take her home first. 

Du Fan didn't take time. Escorting the lady into the car, he was the first to drive her home. "Madam, I tried reaching out to Young Master, but neither his nor Secretary's phone is in reach. They must be in the meeting. Should I send someone to inform him personally?" 

He asked and Li Xue shook her head. "It's okay, Mr. Driver. Let him do his work first. I will go and check on WeiWei. She is sick but we are yet to know what has happened to her. Help me call the doctor instead." She said and Du Fan nodded. 

"Madam, Sister Margaret must have already arranged that." 

Li Xue looked out of the window. Her heartbeat was getting a bit uneven but she knew this wouldn't be eased until she has a look at her princess. Reaching her purse, she again pulled out her phone to make the call. After just a few rings, the call was answered as she greeted first to ask, "Good afternoon, Principal Ma'am. I hope I am not disturbing you. I just wanted to ask about Li Wei. Has she left the school or should we come there and take her?" 

She asked and the principal immediately became polite with her. "We are sorry for our negligence, Mrs. Feng. We should have taken more care of her. But you don't have to come here. We have already let our school physician take a check on her and we have also sent her back. She will get back home soon, don't worry. And also, we will make sure this doesn't get repeated the next time." 

Li Xue shook her head, even though she knew her gesture could be seen on the call. "That's okay, Ma'am. There must be something wrong with our side as well. Thanks for reaching us so fast. From here on, we will look after her." She said and disconnected the call. But in her haste, she forgot to listen to the rest of the part that the principal was about to say. 

"Mr. Driver, can we pay some bills for omitting the traffic limit for once? I want to reach home soon." She asked and Du Fan understood.. Nodding to her, he pressed on the accelerator, making the car speed up on the road.
