Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved



"God! Li Xue, you were badass. You literally spoke and told her that you won't call her mother. Did you not fear being wrong there? I mean she is the mother of my brother and that makes her your mother-in-law. Given our tradition, you should call her mother but you blatantly refused from doing so." Feng Yi Lan said, still remembering the straight face reply of Li Xue to Yun Yuchun. 

Li Xue stared at her through the mirror while the stylist worked on taking the last step of highlighting and enhancing her natural features. "Done?" Li Xue asked and the stylist nodded with a smile. 

"Yes, Ma'am. And if you don't find it exaggerating, I must say that you look beautiful. The most beautiful bride I have ever styled." The stylist complimented and gave her a smile in reciprocation, Li Xue nodded to accept. 

"Thank you. It wouldn't have been possible without your help." Li Xue said and after bowing to her in politeness, they left. Once they were gone, through the mirror, Li Xue turned to look at Feng Yi Lan, who quickly spoke on her own.

"Girl, she wasn't lying actually. You are actually looking God-damn beautiful. If my brother had loved you to the moon before, I am sure he would love you to the greatest infinity and back after today. You are going to make him go weak on his knees again." 

Li Xue didn't reciprocate her compliment, rather she spoke for their former conversation. "Mother-in-law is not just a title we give rather it means the mother we get after signing the lawful papers, of course the marriage certificates. And the feeling of mothers stands the same everywhere. What I said earlier was not to offend her, instead I stated just the facts to her. I never felt the love, care or protection of a mother from her, so I said the same to her." 

"Although she has kept me protected under her wings for years, she just not had my goodness in her mind, she was planning the success of her plan instead. So, that wasn't the love, care and concern and care a mother gives to a child or the child whom she considers her child. And if she hadn't played the role of mother in my life, in no way would I call her one. I never cared to call my birth mother as mother how can you think now, I would neglect the fact. To me, there is only mother and no one can force me to accept another." 

Li Xue said, and from her words, one can easily talk about her principle. When Feng Yi Lan heard her like that, she got all engrossed into it as if she was taking her words as preaching. When Li Xue saw her serious face, she couldn't help but smile. "My intention was not to get too intense in it but I just wanted you to understand why I said so. Anyway, to make it simple I will put in simple quote. If you have your husband in your favor, no one in the world can get to challenge you. It is as simple as that." 

She said and Feng Yi Lan squinted her eyes at her, "Are you confessing that you are actually taking the advantage of my brother?" 

Li Xue shrugged her shoulders. "What's wrong in doing that? He is my husband. It would be a great loss to me if I didn't take advantage of him. And being the wife of businessman, I don't believe in taking long term losses." She said and then turned to look back in the mirror, while taking a last look. 

"Is everything is taken care outside?" Li Xue asked and Feng Yi Lan hummed. 

"You can't doubt that with the meticulous secretary, the great Unbreakable Sword on the job. Under his supervision I am sure everything must have taken care of."

"I could never doubt his capabilities. And that's why I feel so relaxed here." Saying that she turned with a smile and at the same time, the door of the room was once again pushed open. 

And seeing Shin Tingming and Chen Rui appear, a big smile covered Li Xue's face. "Ma, Pa, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you. Where is You Jun? Did he not …" 

Before she could say more, Chen Rui came forward and shook her head. Then cupping her once cheek with her hands, she caressed lightly to say, "You Jun is there outside, looking around. He said he wants to make sure of everything. One he is done with that; he will be here to accompany you." 

Li Xue smiled and nodded. Feng Yi Lan looked at the family appearing and knowing that the time was needed for them to spent alone, she excused herself and left. 

Once she left, Li Xue turned to look back at Shin Tingming and said again, "I have been waiting for you all along. Finally you are here, I am happy." 

Chen Rui looked over her shoulder and said, "Your father again got busy discussing some issue with the official. I was ready to come but unfortunately, I can't leave the kind alone in the palace, so have to wait for him." 

Li Xue could only suppress a chuckle. Looking in the direction of her father, she tried to help him out. "Ma, he has responsibilities. We can't complain knowing about his duties in detail." 

"At least my daughter understands me well. I can't be more blessed." His words made Chen Rui raise her brows at him, which he easily ignored before turning all his attention to his daughter. Taking a small step to her, he slowly and gently moved his hands on her hair, careful enough to not ruin her style. "You are looking the most beautiful woman in the world." 

Li Xue could feel his emotion but to not make the moment heavy, she shook her head, "Not more than, Ma." 

"Definitely not. My daughter is more beautiful than me." Chen Rui said and the family of three laughed out. 

While they were laughing, none of them noticed, two figures entering the room. But soon they realized when the short heighted one came to stand in between them with her hands on her hips. 

"If Mama is more beautiful than Laolao, then what about WeiWei? Am I not beautiful?"
