Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Shin You Jun was in the middle of his dinner when his eyes caught the sight of his parents appearing from a distance. Something between them looked a bit unusual, but he couldn't pinpoint it exactly. 

He stared at them as he once more witnessed his father's care and dotingness for his mother, while his mother's genuine real smile that she has always just kept reserved for his father. His lips formed like a pout as he felt unable to understand the situation. At the moment he didn't look any less than a curious kid who clearly knows that his parents were keeping secrets from him. 

The dinner went in silence as soon the couple rose up from their seats. Chen Rui nodded looking at her husband for some reason before looking at her son to say, "You Jun, don't stay up till late at night. Since you have already had your dinner, sleep early." 

"Ma, are you going somewhere with father?" understanding well that tone and words, it didn't take time for You Jun to ask that. 

The mother nodded. And it immediately made the young prince get up from his seat as well, holding an abandoned puppy look on his face. "Won't you take me with you? How could you leave me alone at home?" 

Shin Tinming's brows raised at his son's attitude while Chen Rui couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You Jun, how old are you? Don't say playing with Little WeiWei you have also considered yourself of her age. Even she is better than you." 

"Ma! You don't have to imitate her." Pursing his lips, the young boy sulked. 

And both at his words and attitude, the queen folded her arms over her chest to ask, "Who did I imitate?" Her tone not only held questions but also a reminder for his son. 

Shin You Jun looked at his mother and could only concede. "Elder Sister. You don't have to imitate my elder sister. I am Uncle to Little WeiWei and definitely not her age." 

Chen Rui was satisfied with the reply. So smiling, she nodded, "Great that you know that. Now be good at home and rest early. We will be back soon." She said before giving a look to her husband to proceed. 

Shin Tinming nodded before walking ahead giving a call to someone while Chen Rui, walking along with him. Behind the young Crown Prince could only sulk. 

What was so bad about tagging along with parents? Haven't Little WeiWei also come here with her mother and left with her parents together? Then what was so wrong in him doing the same? He hmphed in himself before walking away back to his room.

After some time of driving, Shin Tinming pulled the car at one of his personal villas about which rarely anyone knows. 

"This?" Chen Rui was baffled looking at the villa. She looked at her husband only to find him nonchalant. "You wanted to bring me here Tinming? Why?" She asked not understanding the motive behind it. But there was an assurance that there was definitely something within it. 

The man looked at her briefly, then nodding he unbuckled his seatbelt. "You will know when we will go in later. Come on! Let's go in first." He said as stepped out of the car before going to help the lady out as well. 

Together, they soon reached the entrance of the villa, only to find Mr. Cao standing there in politeness. 

"Butler Cao, how are things?" The king asked with seriousness laced in his voice. And in response to his question, the old man nodded. 

"We have done everything according to your orders, Your Majesty." He said and a look of satisfaction got over the features of Shin Tinming, which further confused the lady. 

Looking alternatively between her husband and the butler, she asked, "What orders, Tinming? What have you prepared here?"

Shin Tinming looked at the butler and understanding the look of the man, Butler Cao immediately bowed his head in politeness to report, "Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered us to prison Ms. Liu here for her wrongs against Ms. Li Xue. So previously from the Hotel Emerald De-Luxe, our men have seized her to bring here. We have even captured her husband but he has clearly admitted that all these plans and plots were of the woman and he wasn't included in it. While the woman is still unknown to these things." 

Chen Rui's eyes turned to look at the man beside him. "You captured them here?" 

Shin Tinming nodded. "It's her payback time both for the past and also what she did today. I could no longer let her slide off like before and stir another dangerous plan against us. Such women are hazardous for society and being the king I could not let the poison like her spread and infect others."

The royal lady smiled and nodded, but holding the man's hands into hers, she rectified him. "It would have sounded better if you had clearly mentioned your concern for me and Li Xue in the issue. Why did you make it sound like it's some national issue which needs to be dealt with seriously?" 

Men sometimes could be simply impossible!

The man coughed and pulled his hands away to nod. "That's the same. Now let's go in and check on her first. Let's let her know her mistake well in clear words." He said before walking inside and Chen Rui following after. 

Inside, struggles could be heard all loud in the air. There were shrieks of pain in the air, mixed with the tinges of a slightly metallic smell of blood. Though the lavish décor of the villa was not suited to the set up of the torture house, yet the atmosphere inside has almost turned it to look alike. All credit could be sent to the guards who were on the duty and the couple whose painful screams were adding the suitable flavor to it. 

"Ahh! Leave me! Let me go. What are you guys hitting us for? On whose say have you brought us here?"
