Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue soon took permission from Chen Rui and headed out from the royal great hall with Shen Bingling.

Just by a look at the girl's face, both Chen Rui and Shin Tingming knew there was something wrong, but since the girl was adult enough to handle her stuff, they didn't interfere. Furthermore, the day was already over at the great hall. People would be moving back after having their lunch. It was just that the royal couple couldn't make a move first since they were ultimately the host.

When Li Xue brought Shen Bingling out, she looked around. Since earlier, she had come with Shin You Jun, she didn't know if Du Fan had even arrived here or not. And even if he has arrived, where has he parked the car? Not finding her familiar car around, she pulled her phone to make a call to the man and ask straight.

But unfortunately, when she checked her phone, the battery was dead already. Now there was no way to reach the driver and ask him where he was. Li Xue was thinking of a way to reach Du Fan when suddenly she heard a meek voice from behind.

"You were right, Li Xue. It has been me who was taking things unserious-ly until now." Shen Bingling said as Li Xue turned to look back at her with her brows tugged with confusion.

"What are you saying?" She asked. To which the girl gave a bitter smile before curling her lips in a self-mockery.

"All these years, those girls have followed me and flattered me so well that I was never been able to tell that they were with me for my title and not for the friendship that I thought that we had together. Seems like all these years that feeling of having a good friend was just my wishful thinking or you can say my immaturity."

Shen Bingling said, and for a reason, Li Xue felt sympathetic to her. After all, her past was not too different from hers. She had also got a betrayal in friendship and she knew what the girl must be feeling at the moment.

"Immaturity is very normal. We all tend to be immature in one or the other phase of our life. You were no different. Furthermore, at some points I think it's better, after all, you would get to learn a lot from it." Li Xue said, comforting the girl in the way she felt could help.

But at the end of the day, she wasn't sure as she wasn't good at coaxing. She could only state the facts. That's why even with her princess, she never builds a habit of coaxing her. Instead, she always made her understand things through facts. And stating the facts was actually good; at least you are not presenting false hopes to the people.

Shen Bingling looked at Li Xue for a while and couldn't help but smile after a moment. Li Xue looked at her with some awkwardness as she asked, "Was it that bad?"

She shook her head, "Nope not bad, but I got to know that you aren't very good at it. Anyway, I understood what you said and I also agree with it. Learning from this, I would make sure to build true friendships with true friends from now on. And my beginning would begin with you."

Shen Bingling said and hearing the first half of her words, Li Xue was about to wish her luck for the future but then, she heard the latter part and frowned. "What does this have to do with me?"

To which Shen Bingling shrugged to ad with obviousness, "Simply. I feel that I can't get a friend better than you. So, I am determined to get you. As for you, you don't have to get worried as I won't force you rather would seek proper opportunity to earn your friendship." She said, and at her words of determination, Li Xue could only get dumbfounded.

After recovering from dumbfounded-ness, Li Xue was about to say something when suddenly she heard Shen Bingling's stomach grumbling. Pursing her lips, she could only forget the topic and ask, "Did you bring your car along?"

Shen Bingling was confused at first. "Yes, but why are you asking?"

"I have come here with you Jun earlier so I don't have my car. We can only take your car to get to any restaurant to have lunch." Li Xue said nonchalantly as she gestured to the princess to lead her the way.

"Oh, we are really going to the restaurant then? I thought you have just said it to escape those girls."

Li Xue simply shook her head and denied it. "When I said that I haven't had my lunch, I was being real. And since you said you haven't had yours, I thought of treating you out. After all, you have helped me greatly all this while. I should at least treat you to a good place." She said and her voice came gently as if her thoughts were very right and obvious.

Shen Bingling's steps paused as she stopped to look at Li Xue, before asking with surprise. "So, we are going out to have lunch outside with any special motive. Like what friends do?"

Li Xue's steps paused as well. She wanted to deny it but when she saw the smile on the face of the girl, she didn't want to ruin it. So, instead, she added in a better way to say, "We are going out to have lunch and casual chat, so you can consider that. Now, can we go?"

Shen Bingling nodded as she quickly caught up with her steps, before asking again, "So where are we going? Have you decided?"

Li Xue raised her phone and shook it in front of her face. "I would have but my phone died. So, you can decide it now."

Shen Bingling shook her head, "Nope, you should decide since it's your treat. Here, take my phone and use it. The password is my birthday, 0909." She said as she stuffed her phone in her hand and walked ahead to get to her car.

Li Xue was taken aback by her faith for a moment but before she could say anything, or give back the phone, the girl was already away from her, all excited about lunch. In the end, Li Xue just shook her head and opened the phone before searching for one of the gourmet restaurants that were available nearby.

Although if it had been any other, it would have been tough. But since it was Li Xue who still owned the employee credit point card of Sweet Delicacy, she instantly got a table at one of the good restaurants. Her card still has many saved points that she didn't have the opportunity to use after she met Feng Shufen; they have never gone outside like that.

Now thinking, she felt like her life had just turned like whirlwind after meeting him. Although there was peace in the tornado, so much still happened in such a short time that they didn't get the chance to cherish it. But wouldn't that bring regret sooner or later?

Li Xue shook her head to herself as she promised internally, 'Nope, Li Xue you can't live in regret during your old age. Once Mr. Beelzebub return, make sure you finish everything for which you haven't gotten time until now.' With that determination, she didn't think about it for long and just walked ahead.

Reaching the car, she returned the phone to Shen Bingling and said, "It's done. Let's go. I will drive the car if you allow." Then the two ladies got inside as Li Xue started the engine. Just when their car whooshed out from the premise of the great hall, a bike tailed after them, following them very closely.
