Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Shen Donghai still wasn't aware of who actually helped the company recover at its hardest time. When he was being cornered by all the investors, his daughter came up with a deal that he felt hard to believe.

But since there was no other way to escape, he chose to believe her and agree. And he was still surprised to know that that deal wasn't fake but very much true. The company truly recovered the losses and went on track of profit within the span of a week after he agreed.

To choose back the side of Shin Tingming and support him in his royal affairs – Although the condition of the deal felt a bit weird at first, still choosing it to save his family's name was still a bait he would never hesitate in choosing. After all, what face he would show to his ancestors if, under his management reign, the company faces bankruptcy? Won't it become a big stain on his name and also on the name of his forefathers?

But the weirdest thing about that deal was now more like a surprise to hear. His brows tugged in a frown as he waited to hear if what he heard his daughter saying was really true? If yes, then how exactly has the woman become so capable to help him, Shen Donghai, out of the crisis.

Shen Bingling didn't want to hide it from her father. It was just that she didn't get the chance to clarify it in front of him. And for that, she couldn't be blamed as her father rarely has time for her.

"Father, when the company was facing a financial crisis, I went to meet Li Xue. And there she revealed how I was tricked by Li Na. Although we met to discuss the topic of the accident there, she knew about the situation going on in our family. So, providing a helping hand, she was the one who asked me to bring that deal to you."

She said, before adding in a very confident tone. "Don't think her way to be wrong, Father. Although she brought it up in the form of an exchange deal for us, I knew she only wanted to mend your relationship with His Highness. When we talked I could feel she really values aged friendships."

Shen Bingling said but her words seemed like they were no longer considerable. She felt helpless but even helpless she couldn't do anything, as her father was no longer looking her way to listen to her. With strictness laced on his expressions, he has turned to look at the front, where the head royal family was sitting.

"Your Majesty, we completely agree with the words Princess Shen Bingling said and we are sorry to doubt our queen's judgment. But that's not the only thing we have complaints about. In recent days, several things have happened that have made us doubt you. Like right at the moment, we don't understand why he has been given the seat up there where only the Crown Prince is to be seated?"

Once Shen Bingling's thing was done, people didn't remain silent for long. The day has been arranged for them to have a clear chat with the head entities of the royals. While some were present to push the couple down from the throne and powers, some were just to seek the answers to their confusion. They still supported Shin Tinming on the throne, but it was just that they wanted to have a strong reason to keep supporting him in like ways.

Shin You Jun's nerves were still not calmed. Earlier it was his mother, now the people were questioning his sister. How could he take it easy? Furthermore, how does it even matter? Was it not just a seat? Although The title of Crown prince was something important, making someone sit beside him won't lessen the power and authority that the title holds.

"What's the problem in sitting here? Although I know I have been accepted as the Crown Prince by you all nominally, I am yet to be crowned officially by the title. So, if I could sit here without you all having a problem with that, how can she not? Where the problem lies actually?"

He asked and for once his question didn't sound childish but was framed well, keeping in mind the amount of logic and politeness balanced. Chen Rui smiled looking her son's way, while Shin Tingming didn't object to his words.

Li Xue would have gotten surprised if it had been a few months back but since she has already witnessed this side of the boy too many times, she felt this was coming the moment someone stood up to question her seat.

The royal family members heard the young man and looked among themselves. For a moment they felt like they lacked reasons to defend their side in front of his words, but after some time someone spoke, reasoning their objection. Not to the young man but the king.

"Your Majesty, we understand the still green thought of the Prince, but we expect you to understand our concern as well. We understand you and Her Highness is going to adopt Ms. Li Xue into your family, still, that can't get her the right to sit on a seat that holds such high authority. It's not just against our sentiments but also the rules framed in the law books of the royals."

Someone said and others agreed with those words.

Shin Tingming scanned the whispering crowd as slowly his eyes moved to stare at his children, sitting not far away. Her eyes went warm for a second as they gazed at the calmness with which Li Xue was sitting there. It felt so nice that his heart felt like believing that finally, the girl has agreed to believe him.

When Li Xue felt that soothing gaze on herself, she turned to look at her father as well. Not understanding how she should respond to his such warm gaze, she couldn't help but choose to curl her lips in a supportive smile. It felt awkward at first, but she knew that sooner she would get used to this feeling.

When Chen Rui saw her husband trancing off, she reached out to hold his curled-up fingers. The man instantly turned to look at her; to which she smiled and gave her nod to proceed. Shin Tingming need not ask to know what she was asking him to proceed with. He knew it already. So, giving a nod to her back, he turned to look at the people to finally say.

"We are not adopting Li Xue, rather we are registering her under our name. She is our daughter and has all the rights to sit on the seat that belongs to the royal heir or heiress."
