Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue looked at the disappearing figure of Lawyer Liu at a distance in the back lobby. Her eyes were showing the hints of complexity as she was again and again tilting her head with several contemplations, remembering every talk she had with Feng Shufen in the morning.

'When did he get the time to prepare for all these legal papers?' she questioned herself at the thought remembering all well that it was just today's morning when she had told him about everything. Was he that quick in arranging things?

Based on what she knew about him, she believed he was capable of more than that. But still, something was there that was urging her to ask about his limits.

Li Xue was slowly and slowly getting lost in her thoughts, standing at her place when suddenly a call from behind interrupted her reverie.

"Sister Xue!"

It was Xiao Meng who came running to her after a very long time. Li Xue also turned on her heels to look at the girl. Her brows furrowing a little, looking at her state of panic.

"Xiao Meng, what happened? Why are you rushing like this? Did something happen?" Li Xue asked and the young girl only huffed and puffed to stabilize her pants. Her eyes become a little dewy with all the run she has made to reach her.

"Sis-Sister Xue, I am really sorry. I … I was not able to find the lawyer at the time", Xiao Meng said in a little panic-stricken voice, mixed with the consistency of her uneven pants.

Looking at her that way, Li Xue's brows got slightly raised. She was about to say that everything was fine now but before she could, Xiao Meng continued by herself.

"Sister Xue, you have to believe me. I was waiting there all the time but no lawyer appeared. I even ran through the traffic crowds to check if he was sitting in some cab or car, waiting for traffic to clear. But no matter how many cars I knocked, no lawyer was there behind the windows. And I returned back here, everything was already over and you were no longer in the conference room".

Xiao Meng explained gravely, with disappointment filled in both in her eyes and expressions. Looking at her that way, Li Xue could not help but smile. "Really? Did that really happen and you …" She said but before she could even complete it, Xiao Meng grasped onto her hands to explain all wildly.

"Sister Xue, you have to believe me. I definitely did that. I tried my best, but I … I have always been your fan and would always remain to be. There is no way I would ever think any bad of you."

Li Xue could no longer control her laugh. "That was adorable!" she softly said, before removing her one hand from the grasp of the girl to gently brush away the bangs from her face. "Xiao Meng, did you see the live streaming of the conference on the internet?" She asked when found the girl puzzle at her compliment.

Xiao Meng shook her head. All of this was new to her, so when everything happened, she had no time to check other things on the internet. Her only focus was fixed on the direction of the entrance from where she had known the lawyer would come.

Li Xue has already guessed that answer. Without giving much trouble to the girl, she simply solved. "That's fine. Things are better now and inside the discussion with the Oriental Spark, the lawyer has already come and everything got solved in our favour."

"The lawyer appeared? How can that be? I was standing there on the way for the whole time. I didn't see him come, except the company staff and that's why I ran to find him." The young girl was even more puzzled. Standing at the entrance, she had made sure to look at every person going in and out, yet she has missed such an important person she was waiting for.

Li Xue shrugged her shoulders at her words. "That's fine, don't ponder over it for more. He must have avoided the front entrance because of the crowd".

Xiao Meng nodded, before bowing a little in disappointment. "From next time, Sister Xue, I will be more alert and would look at various possibilities beforehand."

"Mmm. I know." Li Xue plainly accepted her promise, knowing that the girl would try better next time. But then suddenly, she heard a slight rustle of the approaching footsteps from behind.

"Ahh, Sister Xue, I guess people have come to know you are leaving through the back door. We should leave her soon", Xiao Meng suggested. All this time, people were busy at the front entrance but if they came to know Li Xue was leaving from the opposite entrance, they would definitely come to find her this way.

Li Xue nodded with some thought before saying, "Yes, we should leave. Go and bring the car here, till then, I will go and settle one last thing here". She said with some purposeful meaning that the young girl failed to register.

"Sister Xue, do you still have things here?"

"Umm … Xiao Meng, I think I need to see a washroom. Please help me in preparing the car to arrive here. I will be back soon and then we could leave". Li Xue tried with minimal explanation and the young girl also did not probe further.

"Okay, sister Xue. I will prepare it to come here and then give you a call". She said, before moving in the direction where the car was parked.

Li Xue also glanced it her way for a small moment and then quickly moved her steps to get ready to settle the last thing she had left remaining at the place. After all, how could she leave without completing it?

On her way, she pulled her phone out to type some keys over it before keeping it back in her pocket and strolling her feet to move in a direction decided.
