Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

On the other corner of the city,

"Wenting, are you sure that you want to do this? I know that even if you pretend to be all harsh and uncaring to Li Xue, you still don't hold it in your heart" Sying said as she came to wrap her arms around the man's neck from behind, lightly giving a peck on his ears.

Zheng Wenting did not say anything. And for a moment it felt like, he does not even care for her presence around. But when felt Sying's continuous soft breathing near his ears, he could not ignore it for longer.

"You know me too well. Sying" He said, as his hands went to gently pull her from behind to come to his front. Then gesturing her with his eyes, he asked to take a seat to the next to him. "I still can't become any harsh on Li Xue. I still cannot plan any bad for her. But she is just compelling me to do so"

Wen Sying did not understand his words quite well, neither did she have any interest in understanding it. To her, the only thing that mattered was that Li Xue would never have any successful comeback in the industry, even if she brings her best.

"Wenting, that's why I am saying, let's not do this. Let's not create any hurdle in her way of the comeback, after all this has been something that we have wanted. Even if she had disrespected you, insulted you … let's forgive her, after all, she is still somewhere in the deep corner of your heart", she said, knowing very well that even if she was speaking for Li Xue, her words would be having a completely adverse effect on the man, given to the way she reminded him of the disrespect and insult Li Xue has done to him.

And her heart only filled with satisfaction when saw the man shaking his head in denial of her words. But when heard his next words, her nail dug deep into her skin, making her feel the sharp feeling of agony.

"I never hold her responsible for any insults, Sying. Though I have always gotten mad at the way she treated me, I knew that she has always been that way in the past too. It was not like she pretended to be something else and then revealed it all when things did not go by her way" he paused as an unknown smile covered his lips.

"Her type of sharpness has always been the essential charm of beauty that entices people to her", he admitted. His eyes shone with some remembrance from the past but he did not find it any necessary to reveal it all.

Looking at Wen Sying, he only deepened his smile as he said, "Don't worry, Sying! I have known your concern for her. And I will never bring any bad to her. Even in the past, she has broken my heart, you have healed it enough to not leave any regret of pain behind."

Wen Sying felt her Earth-shattering at those words. Though she could understand each of the word's meanings, she was still feeling like those words were just something incoherent to her ears. Keeping a forced smile intact on her face, she asked, "Then all this, Wenting? What are you planning?"

"Ah, all this is nothing. Though we have made her former agency file a lawsuit against her, I will never let it reach the courts. The settlement will be made outside with discussion itself. I will make sure of it. Li Xue just has to accept my offer to come under the roof of Galaxy Light. All of this is just to make her give in to my plans. So that in future, I can …" he paused as if realizing some mistake in his words, then correcting it, he continued, "I mean we can help her whenever a problem arises."

Wen Sying did not have to go in detail. His previous struck words had defined every intention of his to her but that never meant that she had no ways. Even if she had not intended, her lips curled to give an arc of happiness as she said all cheerfully, "I knew it Wenting that in no way you would do any bad to her. You have really planned well. I hope this time Li Xue agrees to it. But Wenting …"

Her words halted deliberately as her brows wrinkled a little in worry. "But Wenting, what if Li Xue did not agree. We cannot forget now that she might have gotten into some trouble with the man about whom we had spoken last time. Her husband … didn't you say that he might be dangerous or else why would a woman like Li Xue get so polite to him".

Those words of Sying felt like a sharp pang to the man's heart. But keeping the positiveness intact in his heart he said, "There is nothing to worry, Sying. Once Li Xue has come to us, I will make sure that she never gets scared by anyone. I will not hesitate to risk all my best to protect her." And for once, Sying felt that she has seen that shine of determination in his eyes that she has never seen before.

A glint of envy crossed in Wen Sying's eyes but before it could go noticed by the man, she stood up, clearing her throat and said, "I think I need to use the washroom. You can sit, I will be back soon". Saying this, she did not wait and strolled off.

Next day, at the hospital,

The floor rang with the clicking sound of the block heels as a middle-aged woman dressed in a pleated formal grey skirt and fitted grey blazer over a well-pressed white dress blouse made her way towards the VVIP ward.

The bodyguards looked at her but before they could say anything, the butler came forward to receive her. "Ms Yun!" The aged butler greeted, bowing his head in respect.

The lady smiled at his polite gesture, as she said, "With the relaxed air in the hospital, I am sure that His Majesty is all well and sound now and my son has not created much ruckus here".

The old butler did not give any expression on his face, rather simply informed, "His Majesty and Her Highness has been waiting for you inside". Saying this, he politely gestured to her in the direction of the room.
