Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"Sister Xue, what should we do with this box. There is no name over it and what if there is some explosive inside?" Xiao Meng asked, looking a little suspiciously and concernedly at the box, flipping it from all sides to check what was inside. 

Li Xue had no different thoughts, but explosives were a little too extreme. She could never think that Wen Sying would ever be capable of getting something like that in her hands. 

Though having underlings through whom she could instigate her plans against her was one thing, planning something big like planting and sending explosives was a completely different thing. Something out of her league. And Li Xue knew that Wen Sying would never have any courage to do something like that. 

And except for Wen Sying, there was no other enemy of her in this world, who would want her to be dead this bad. So, shaking her head, she partially disapproved the statement. Before she could guess anything further, her phone dinged with a message. She checked and could not help but roll her eyes at the words. 

[Don't worry, there is no explosive inside. Your life is too precious for that.]

Though the message-id was saved in her contacts, she need not look at it to know whose lame joke it could be. She glanced at the box one last time and was about to shrug the topic off for later consideration when suddenly a call entered her phone.  She looked at her assistant and requested a few minutes, receiving the call to answer. 

"Hello! Don't you have better work to do? I thought after the consequences your last ruckus brought on you, you must be busy settling many things. How come you have time for such lame jokes again?" 

At her words, a thunderous chuckle boomed on the other side of the line. "Haha … Honey, aren't you being too confident in your husband's abilities now? Though I agree in the past he got the upper hand on me, you still know Jing Wei Jin doesn't believe in repeating history for the second time. Don't instigate me to do something that will make me prove to you this thing immediately". 

Li Xue could only smile externally while her jaws clenched all tight to suppress the urge of retaliation she was feeling inside. Especially at the endearment, he has served her so lovingly. "Jing Wei Jin, do you seriously want to die that bad? How many times do I have to tell you to hold your tongue, or sooner or later, you will have to pay badly for it."

"Haha … My Fairy Queen hasn't forgotten giving her threats yet. Otherwise, I have thought, living like a sheep beside your so-called temporary husband for so long, your once sharp claws might have gone blunt till now". Jing Wei Jin said again. 

And Li Xue was already on her edge. "Look, I have got things to attend to. If you want to begin that, let's find some other time. So that at least I am in the mood to give you the rightful answers." She spoke, her impatience all evident in her voice. She showed no effort to hide it from her tone. 

And that was something which has always fascinated Jing Wei Jin. When the people around him have always tried to get on the best side, she was alone there, trying her best to show him the mirror that revealed the bitterest truth and reality to him. 

"Fine, remember your words then. We will be meeting soon. Don't blame me at the time", Jing Wei Jin said and with his words, Li Xue could feel the smirk playing on his lips. 

"You …" 

"Sayonara! See you soon, my darling". 

Before she could say a word, the call went dead. This man surely knows how to prick her nerves. Li Xue exhaled a deep irritated breath out, closing her eyes for some calmness. 

Looking at her like that, the assistant on the side was all confused. "Sister Xue, are you fine? What should we do with this box?" 

"Throw it away somewhere in the car. We will see about it later. Now is not the time to ruin my mood anymore." Li Xue said, shrugging the air of discomfort away and raising her spirits back to move forward. She had a day to make perfect. A work to bring success. 

Xiao Meng nodded, walking to the car at the back to put away the box first. While she walked back, Li Xue waited only to see her phone again flashing up with a text. She had prepared herself to not hold back this time if it was again the words from Jing Wei Jin. But when saw the message, she couldn't bring herself to be rough with him any longer.

Her lips curled a little in a soothing smile as she read – [Keeping the jokes apart. Do your best on the stage. Don't let my lame jokes affect you there.] 

Though he has an irritable side in his personality, Li Xue could not refuse to accept that he was one of her friends who knew her in the best way possible. 

"Sister Xue, I have kept the parcel in your car. We can go in now". Xiao Meng said, coming back to the side of Li Xue. 

Li Xue nodded with a smile as the two soon made their way inside the building from the back exit. 

Inside when Li Xue appeared, the scene was no different from what she had expected. Or more to say it was the worst. She could understand it like that, knowing the level of nervousness Feng Yi Lan would be in. But what she was unable to understand was the terror on the faces of the staff running there. 

Was there something more happening here? 

Her eyes wandered around to find the cause and soon it spotted Yi Lan standing at the corner, ready to burst on one of the pitiful girls standing in front of her. With her face alone she could say there was something more to it than it was coming to one's eyes. 

Not only nervousness but there was also the expression of grimace flooring on the face of her friend. An intent that was telling, if not given a solution soon then there would be a play of slaughtering around.
