Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Wen Sying's eyes turned edgy at Li Xue but who gave her the confidence to think that with her eyes sharpness she could be capable to faze Li Xue. How did she forget that back in days, it was just because of Li Xue she was safe in her university college. Or else with her attitude, she would have regularly gotten bullied.

"Li Xue, you …" Feeling herself getting blatantly targeted, Wen Sying was ready to come forward to retaliate Li Xue but just at the right moment, she was held back.

"Sying, don't try anything now. Not only guests but there is also media as well. A little mistake from you would be enough to make them write a story about you which wouldn't be nice. Today is your engagement, be as graceful as you could. For Li Xue, don't worry, she would be handled well later." Da-Xia said, and hearing her say that Sying could only suppress herself by putting a very friendly smile over her lips.

Su Fai looked at her gaze and could not help shaking his head. Most of the time he couldn't get to understand how a woman could be this evilly confident. But then it might be the same as men could be brutally dangerous.

"Congratulations, Zheng Wenting and Wen Sying! Sorry, I wasn't personally invited but seeing Li Xue come alone, I thought to tag along. Hope you two don't mind me here." He said, smiling with ease, much opposite to the demand for the situation.

Zheng Wenting looked at him and shook his head. "Of course not. I apologize, I didn't know you were not sent the invitation." He said before looking back at Li Xue to say, "And sorry to you as well, Li Xue. This was definitely a mistake on our part. We should have personally visited you with the invitation."

Li Xue looked at him and smiled. And that smile was enough to pierce Zheng Wenting like no other dagger ever would. He felt the pain in his chest. An agonizing pain that was enough to make him go on his knees while begging for relief.

"It's okay CEO Zheng. I didn't mind. I know you were busy preparing for the best engagement for Ms. Wen, so it's only understandable that other unimportant things slip out of your mind." Li Xue said and to her words, Zheng Wenting desperately shook his head.

He wanted to explain as if, in his explanation, his life was dependent. But before he could, Li Xue was interrupted from behind.

"Li Xue! You are finally here. It's been really long since I last saw you."

That was Zheng Wenting's mother who had come all the way personally with her husband to look at the girl. Her eyes were shining looking at her again, the same as before. While Zheng Haozhen also smiled looking at her. That was his first smile in all this while.

Li Xue turned to look at them as well. But her expression didn't show much of the connection. Smiling, she politely greeted, "Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng, it's really been long. But it's good to see you again." The distance drawn was evident and understandable. Keeping the people around in note, none of both mention it as well. Smiling, they just nodded, while stepping back.

What could they blame the girl for, when it was the mistake of their own son?

For a moment, the couple's eyes turned to look at their son and lady Zheng noticed something odd in that expression. She wanted to go to him and ask. But somewhere she as well knew that it might already be late.

"Ms. Li Xue!" Amidst everyone, a voice once again interrupted Li Xue as she turned to look at the media person who had come back to her. "If it's fine now, can you please answer our questions?"

Li Xue looked at them and turned to look at Wen Sying, before turning again to nod.  "Sure, but let me ask Ms. Wen's permission as well. Or else it might seem like I have snatched away her limelight. Something that wouldn't be good morally."  She said and then turning, walked a bit closer to the woman. "Sying, this … I hope you won't mind." She asked and in her words, the mock was very much clear.

Sying gritted her teeth. "Li Xue, it's fun for you now. But let me assure you it wouldn't be the same till the end of the night. Wait for it! You won't always be at profit." She said in a voice that was just a little above a whisper so that no one could hear her but only Li Xue.

Li Xue frowned but then composed herself back to say with a smile, "Oh, I see. You want to get back at me. Let me see how well you could be this time. Last time it was easy to backstab me since I believed you. But this time the story may not be the same. Things might backfire on you instead."

But Wen Sying looked confident and for some reason, Li Xue found her confidence to be a bit different.

"We will see that later!" Wen Sying said with a smile as stepping back, she shook her head to say, loud enough to be audible to everyone. "I won't mind sharing my limelight with you, Li Xue. Please go ahead." Saying that she smiled then turned to walk to others, tugging on the arms of Zheng Wenting like she really didn't mind.

But Li Xue knew things couldn't be this simple. Based on what she knew Wen Sying was, this was simply not this simple. She stood there for a moment, looking at her when Su Fai came to whisper to her ear.

"What are you looking at? The media is waiting for you. Go and give them some attention."

But Li Xue shook her head. "Su Fai, there is something odd. Sying is up with some plan on me."

"What? Did she say something to you?" Su Fai's eyes darted to look at Wen Sying as well but then returned back to Li Xue who simply walked away saying a simple phrase that wasn't even necessary to remember.

"Let's hold our guards well."
