Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue could not help but shake her head. "Yi Lan, can you answer me one thing?" She asked before pausing to hear the response from the girl on the other side. Her lips pressed together helplessly.

"Of course, dear! If not you, who do you think I will answer." Yi Lan answered and Li Xue could visualize a smile coming over her tiresome expression.

For a moment, Li Xue wanted to laugh, but knowing all too well that Feng Yi Lan's attitude turned this way, every time it concerned her; she could not bring herself to laugh at her. After all, she was well aware of the way her friend treated her.

"Was Wen Sying that worthy to make you wait for the whole night like this? You even ignored your sleep for her. I never knew that she was such a good friend of yours".

Hearing that question, Yi Lan at once pouted but when looked more into the words she understood the meaning within. "Li Xue, it was not for her but you. I was …"

"I know Yi Lan. I know your excitement was for me. But in your excitement, you almost forgot the other face of the coin that had Sying on it. And subconsciously, you devoted your rightful time of sleep to her" Li Xue completed the words without letting Yi Lan to reach her full stop.

"…" The conversation paused as no response came from the other side of the call for a good moment.

Li Xue sighed internally, feeling guilty that she out-lashed like this. She never meant to hurt her friend. Regretting her straight words, she slowly began, "Yi Lan, are you upset with my words now? I am sorry, I never meant to hurt you. I was just …"

"It's enough, Li Xue. Why would I be hurt by your words? I am just twenty-six and not at all senile. It's just that I am giving a thought on my attitude," Feng Yi Lan interjected her words, the moment she traced regret in her friend's voice.

"…" Li Xue paused at those words. "Huh? What does that mean?"

"Ahh, Li Xue! How can I be this dumbhead? I actually wasted my sleep on that not – any – good woman. I have truly lost my mind yesterday that I didn't think twice before doing it" Feng Yi Lan said. Her voice showed her the frustration and irritation she was feeling inside. The realization has only struck her now. "Now, I will definitely not spare that woman."

Li Xue could not help and chuckle at her sudden change in attitude. But suppressing it in, she said, "Fine, fine Yi Lan, don't waste more time on her. You already wasted the whole yesterday night. Now it will be better if you take some sleep first, otherwise again for the whole day, you will be grumpy because of her". She said, giving out a slow chuckle at the end.

"No way. Not at all." Yi Lan could only hmph grumpily before disconnecting the call at the end. It was so quick that it didn't give any time to Li Xue to respond to it. Only when there was a beep of disconnection on the call did she realize it. She shook her head and was about to keep her phone back but halted hearing another call.

Sighing at the sequence going on, she received it before asking, "What else, Yi Lan?" Something more troubling you?"

"Just wanted to ask why has she not posted the pictures online yet?"

Li Xue could not help. "Darling, that was just a play we have played. It doesn't matter if we will succeed in it or not? We will not lose anything and that's definite. You have already let your people know their work, so it's okay for you to slee…" Before she could complete, the call went dead.

And Li Xue was speechless. What were the plans? Did she call just to hear her say half? This girl sometimes truly behaves like an insane person. She thought internally shaking her head at her crazy attitude that was sometimes so incomprehensible.

At the same time, at the Royal Palace of Chiboa.

The Queen was waiting at the breakfast table for her husband and son to appear. Since last time she has delayed her dinner, the maid has been severely instructed to make the lady have her meals on time, without any delay or skip.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has asked you to begin the breakfast first. He may take a little time" The maid said, bowing her head down with politeness.

Chen Rui looked at her and nodded. "It's fine. I can wait. Ask someone to go and check on the Crown Prince." She asked and the maid at once nodded before leaving, giving a light bow to the woman.

At this moment, Linda, the Queen's secretary entered the palace. "Good morning, Your Highness!" She greeted, bowing slightly with professionalism.

The Queen smiled looking at her, before nodding. "Good morning, Linda. You are quite early today. Want to have breakfast with us?" She asked, gesturing to the girl to take one of the seats at the table.

But been working with the Queen for a good time now, the young secretary knew her boundaries well. Smiling a little modestly, she said, "Thank you, Your Highness, but I already had my breakfast. I was early to report you something but I apologize. I should not have disturbed your breakfast time. I will go and wait on the floor of your office."

She said, ready to give another bow but Chen Rui halted her. "It's fine. I think this will take time. Report me what you have brought first. How did the thing go there? Did they agree?" The Queen said as she turned a little more to look at the girl properly.

The last day she sent her to Glamour World to talk with Li Xue's manager. She was still curious to know how things turned out there.
