Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue was almost done preparing dinner for the two kids when she called a maid. "Please help me call WeiWei and Avron downstairs for the dinner. It's almost done." She said before putting the lid over the pot. 

Sister Margaret was standing on the side of her and immediately interrupted to ask, "But Madam, little young miss is still weak from the fever. Will it be okay to get her out of her bed? I can take the food to her upstairs." 

She said and Li Xue smiled, shaking her head. "It's okay, Sister Margaret. She isn't that weak. She would feel better if she gets out of her bed. Furthermore, we have a little guest at home. It wouldn't look good if we don't call him at the table for dinner." She said and on the mention of the boy, her lips curled up into a smile. 

Sister Margaret traced that smile for a moment and then pondering, she asked, "Madam, that young boy seems a bit different with little young miss and little young miss as well …" 

Li Xue chuckled. It was evident to every eye; how could she not notice it? "Haha … Sister Margaret, they are still very young. They make good friendships together, but we can't be sure how it would proceed in the future. Other than that, destiny is also a factor of change. So, let's not talk about that now. Let time decide the course of their life." 

She said and understanding the meaning behind her words, Sister Margaret nodded before working to help out the dishes on the table. 

Li Xue was undoing her apron when right at the moment, her phone rang. She undid the ribbon quickly before checking the caller on her phone. Seeing the two characters stating the name of Chen Rui, she didn't hesitate before receiving the call. "Ma, has You Jun returned?" 

Chen Rui paused on the call. But then taking a moment, she replied. "Not yet. I asked Butler Cao to check for him and he is good; out with some friends. He would back in some time." 

She informed and Li Xue grew silent for a moment. She had felt before that there was a probability of something like this to happen. How did she still not consider it while revealing? 

"Anyway, Xiao Xue, this is not for what I called you. Earlier when I was on the call with you, I heard someone inform that WeiWei is not well. What happened to her? Is she better now?" Switching the topic, Chen Rui asked the matter for which she called and Li Xue hummed to her. 

"She has gotten temperature after getting exhausted. But there is nothing to worry about. The fever has already subsided and now, she is all fine." Li Xue spoke to ease the worry of the lady regarding WeiWei, but in her heart, she was herself worried for Shin You Jun. 

Chen Rui hummed. "That's great. If she had been sick for longer, my heart would have ached. It's a relief to hear that she is alright." 

"…" Although Li Xue heard Chen Rui, she couldn't think of any words in reply to hers. Her thoughts were just getting trancing off thinking about You Jun. 

When felt the silence of the girl, Chen Rui didn't hesitate in guessing the reason behind it. "Xiao Xue, I am not a person who would have one thing in the heart but would purposefully say other to please someone. So never ever doubt if I say something to you." 

Li Xue's brows tugged together in confusion. "Ma, what are you saying? I didn't get it." 

"Earlier when I said that you did the right thing to reveal the truth to You Jun, I meant it. Don't think too much. He is just out of the mood today. Let the day pass, I am sure, he would be back on his own. And give him some time and he would get back to you. Until then, don't blame yourself." Chen Rui said and Li Xue pondered over her. 

Although she thought the same, somewhere in her heart still felt like she had been reckless to not think of the consequences beforehand. But now that it had already happened, she couldn't go back to the past and ask herself to think twice. 

"It's not like I am overthinking the things, Ma. It's more like I know that I have been too spontaneous regarding things. I should have thought beforehand. But now that I have not, I wouldn't cry over it. Rather would allow him to have some space before he decides things regarding me."

Li Xue said and on the other end of the call, Chen Rui sighed. Not for she knew that her son was stubborn head but for she came to understand that the siblings have much more in common. 

"Xiao Xue, although, I am not happy with whatever you said. I still feel like you are overthinking. But I also know that no matter what I say to you, you won't listen to me. So, go on whatever you are thinking. I just expect that both of you siblings don't give us, your parents a tough time." 

Chen Rui said and humming to her, soon Li Xue disconnected the call. But just when Li Xue was about to turn to walk out of the kitchen, a voice stiffened her back in surprise. 

"Mama, did you play naughty and upset my Little-belittle Uncle this time?" 

"Sweetie, that … I …" She doesn't know how to answer but even without her saying, her little one could easily read her mother's eyes. 

Walking up to her, she pouted at her mother before gesturing her to bend down to her height. Li Xue followed her command and at once got down on her knees. Once she was there, WeiWei reached out to cup her cheeks to say, "It's okay Mama. No one could stay upset with you for long. Neither me nor Daddy Angels. Little-Belittle Uncle will also get well soon. Don't worry. When he would see realizing you the mistake, he would understand and will no longer be upset. Just stay patient until that time, okay?" 

The little girl said and for some reason, Li Xue's heart eased. Although things were not as easy as her little one portrayed it, still after hearing her say like that, it no longer felt too serious as well. 

Nodding, she accepted her encouragement before adding, "Okay, little boss, I will wait patiently for your little-belittle uncle to come back to me." She said and Little Li Wei smiled, humming to her. 

"That's like my good Mama.." She said before both of them burst into soft laughter.
