Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Looking at her husband's sullen expression, Chen Rui pressed her lips together. Did she say something wrong? Definitely not! The expression on her husband's face at this moment was itself proving her words to be correct.

The sullen expression of his face was exactly matching with those of her son, which he had on every time she let him count his flaws and then ask him to improve them.

Seeing her getting all firm, the husband only had the choice to give in to her words. So, keeping his expressions as it was, he said, getting all submissive to his wife's demands, "I agree to your words, Darling. I know he has no proper qualities to be called your son as he has taken all my flaws and none good characteristics of yours. But still, he must be our son after, after all, God has not given me a womb to bear him inside".

At his words, Shin Tinming found the woman shot the glares at him to which he quickly added more of his words to deviate her thoughts to some other direction. "By the way, love. If not our …  I mean my good – for – nothing son, who else do you think can become capable of getting the title of your child. I mean in short, who do you think to be called the deserving one?"

Several stars seemed to be bursting in the eyes of the Queen when she heard the question asked to her. Her lips curled up to give a desirous smile looking at her husband as she said, "Do you even have to ask that? Don't you know it already?"

The King's thoughts halted at her words to think about it. Seeing the enchanting smile playing on his wife's lips it was already hard for him to look or think about anything else but at the same time, seeing her so hopeful about something, he could not prevent himself from getting intrigued by it.

"Did you ever let me know about it? Was it before we had You Jun?" He asked, trying his best to remember but no matter how hard he tried he just could not remember it.

Seeing her husband perplexed at her words, the woman simply shrugged her shoulders before adding, "You don't have to strain much of your brain to it. I would say you simply. It's that sweet, pretty brave girl, Li Xue. I so wished to have a daughter like her. With her around, I wouldn't have any regrets left".

Chen Rui said as she moved to keep the rest of the books on the shelves. Behind her, she did not notice the expression of her husband's face getting stiffened. "You know, Tinming, the more I hear about that girl, the more I feel amused. It's rare to find a girl as smart, beautiful and brave as her. Wait, till you meet her and you will know it on your own. I really feel pity for her parents, especially her mother, who was not able to treat such a precious one in a good way".

She lamented while the man could only sigh in defeat looking at his wife. "Rui, why do you always have to think about that girl. There have been so many children around. So many youngsters come to meet you daily, still you …"

Before the man could even complete his words there came a sudden knock at the door. "Your Majesty! Your Highness!" The maid greeted from the entrance before continuing, "Ms Yun has come to the palace".

Chen Rui instantly smiled at the news before saying, "Ohh, Yuchun is here. Please let her come in with all due respect".

The maid nodded politely at the Queen's words before leaving to fulfil the orders.

At the side, Shin Tinming also smiled and said, "It's good to see Yun Yuchun back in the city. At least now we can expect her to come and spend some good time with us as we used to before days".

But the moment his words got complete, the woman snapped with questioning eyes at him, "Don't change the topic, Tinming! We have not yet completed the one we were at before".

"What is there to complete, Rui? I just said that why are you favouring that girl so soon. You have yet to know her for the better." The man tried to explain defeatedly.

Chen Rui looked at the man for some time before shaking her head with some disapproval, "I don't understand Tinming, if I am the one who is at fault or is it you? You are asking me why am I favouring that girl, without knowing her properly. But what are you doing?" She paused with the question as she stared into her husband's eyes.

"Do you know her properly? If yes, then how? And if no, then why do I feel like you are holding some grudge against that girl unnecessarily? So, tell me, do you know that girl already?" She asked in a much more firm tone that was clearly letting the man know that this time without giving an answer he would not be able to escape.

Shin Tingming was instantly at the loss of words. Though nothing was sure yet, he still could not lie to her. He had never and he would never!

"What are you saying, Rui? Why would I hold some grudge for that girl? I have yet to meet her and …"

"That's what I am saying, Tinming. You have yet to know her, then how can you say that I am favouring her without any reason. I could have my own thoughts and decisions. Or are you saying that I would have to learn to take my decisions from you?" Chen Rui said, cutting the man's words halfway.

Shaking his head, Shin Tinming instantly denied, "There is nothing such, Rui. I know you are more than capable of those things. It's just that …"

"Your words earlier said it all. You don't have to explain anything now", The woman said, turning herself away from him.

It was then when a voice came from the entrance, snapping the couple out from their argument. "Did I miss some great interesting show?"
