Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

After informing Li Xue of everything, Chen Rui soon disconnected the call, leaving her to discover the rest on her own.

Li Xue was in her thoughts when suddenly a pat on her shoulders snapped her out. Wrinkling her brows, she turned to look only to see Su Fai standing behind with a smile on his face.

"You are frowning? Is there something serious?" Su Fai asked, bending slightly in front of her face to check her expression and eyes. "What happened? Has your husband finally decided to give you back to me? If there is something like that, don't worry, I am still there for you. My love for you can never get over." He spoke, giving a doting smile to her.

Li Xue stared at her and rolled her eyes. "Really? Is your love that never-ending type for me?" She asked, folding her arms on her front to look at him with some daunting aura.

Su Fai's expression paused. "Hey, I know I have let you go to him all easily earlier but dare not underestimate my love." He began with a tone of warning but her words paused and dulled out when squinting her eyes, Li Xue drew close to his face, looking more carefully at him.

"Really? If you would accept me back, what would happen to your current love life? Do you not fear losing her?" She asked and at her askance like that, Su Fai felt wordless.

Stuttering in his tone, he took a step back to create some space between him and Li Xue. "I-I … what love life are you talking about? I am all …"

"Do you want me to the do the grace and reveal the name?" Li Xue raised her brows, asking first but then smiled to add with the utmost nonchalance. "If you want so, I won't mind. But the employees here definitely would. After all, you know that not everyone favors office romances."

Office romance!

Su Fai paled. "When and how did you come to know?" He asked, not remembering if he slipped out the things in front of her even once.

Li Xue really wanted to chuckle and shake her head at him. But he looked so embarrassed already that she didn't want to tease him more. So simply smiling, she hinted, "When the love butterflies are flying in the air, it's not that hard for bystanders to not notice it. Do you think, I am blind to not see it?"

"Li Xue, you … you … shouldn't you have ignored it? Do you know how embarrassing it is now? Especially when I have yet not confessed to her." Su Fai spoke, avoiding her gaze.

Li Xue raised her brows at him at first but then chuckling, she could no longer restrain her laughter. "Haha … You have yet not confessed to her? Haha … why am I not even surprised? You preserved your crush for me for so many years. This is still your love; how could it be any less? I can understand." She said, reaching out to pat his shoulders with a mock.

Su Fai's expression turned sullen. "You are mocking me but do you think that it's that easy to confess? It's hard to an extent that you can't even imagine." He said and Li Xue was amused to hear him.

Why is he making it look like confessing your own feelings is like a task to walk half the earth barefooted?

Li Xue shook her head. "I don't think I would have to imagine that since when I faced the confession it wasn't any hard. It came with a speed of light and made me feel typhoons from which I wasn't able to get over. So, if you ask me, I would just say that it's not as hard as you say. But then again it might differ from person to person."

She said and her words like that made the man feel sullener. Li Xue was about to say something to soothe his hurt morale but before she could, the voice of Xiao Meng interrupted from a distance.

"Sister Xue!"

Li Xue turned to look at her, only to see her panting for breath at a distance. But that was not for too long as before she knew, the next moment, the girl was already there standing in front of her, breathing heavily.

"Meng Meng, what happened? You ran up to here, panting like this. Did I forget something behind?"

Xiao Meng shook her head. Then normalizing her breath, she said, "No, no, Sister Xue. You haven't left anything behind. It's just that I forgot to put your signature on one of the files. This was important and if I have failed to get it done today, then Sister Xinyi would have …"

She didn't complete her words but Li Xue understood the rest on her own. Smiling, she spoke, "You would have given me a call. I would have returned to get it signed. Anyway, give it to me, I'll do it first. Till then you can take your breathing." She said, taking the file to put her sign first.

Xiao Meng hasn't noticed Su Fai before but when she stood there, her eyes soon went to match with his. "CEO Su!" She greeted, feeling something amiss in his expression. But she had neither the position to question him nor did she feel it suitable to do. So, avoiding she looked back at Li Xue.

Su Fai on the other hand looked all grumpy like a child who was just been looked down on by his own friend from whom he expected help and understanding to come. His eyes were trained at Li Xue as if waiting to hear her continue.

But Li Xue didn't notice. Signing her name on the file, she handed it back in the hands of Xiao Meng. "It's done now. You can be relieved."

"Thank you, Sister Xue. I will go first then." The young assistant said ready to turn and jog off. But remembering something, Li Xue halted her.

"Meng Meng!" She called and the girl turned to look at her. "I remember you saying once about the college where Crown Prince studies. Can you remind me of the name again?" She asked, thinking something of her own in her head.
