Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Shin Tinming was sitting in his study. Butler Cao has long let him know about Li Xue being with Feng Shufen, so the worry he had for her earlier has subsided. But he felt a lack of courage to face the things that had happened today.

He felt guilty in his heart. Not just Li Xue's but also Chen Rui's. All this while she had known everything. Not just did she accept him with that lie and betrayal but also accepted Li Xue with all her heart, treating her as a daughter. Yet being the father himself, he never felt the courage to do the same for the girl.

When did he become so weak that the acceptance of the truth became so hard for him? His fists clenched on the table as under the dim light of the study, he remained seated to think of his wrongs. His fist-clenching with anger but then got unclenched out of guilt.

"Is it worth pondering on the past that you can never go back to change?" Chen Rui who had already expected to see him in this state came strolling in, in a nonchalant attitude. Like she was alright and she has not been revealed to some truth that could ruin her relationship with her husband.

Coming inside the room, she smiled when caught the gaze of the man and added, "Tinming, it's no good to take the guilt of the past for which you can't be even blamed."

She said and her words made the man frown. Looking as if accusing her of something that she was deliberately ignoring. "How could you say that Rui? How could you not blame me? I have clearly betrayed you. Betrayed you at the night when you needed me the most, the night when you were the saddest. How am I not responsible for these things?" He said and the pain was all evident in his eyes.

Chen Rui looked at him like that and couldn't help but smile. She felt she couldn't be more lucky than she already was. After all, not everyone has the luck to have such a compassionate and dedicated husband in their life.

Rounding around the desk, she reached out for his face to cajole. Cupping one of his cheeks, she spoke with a matter of fact, "You remember that it was the saddest day of my life, then what was that day for you? Were you very happy that day, Tinming?"

"Rui, I was …"

"That day was the saddest for you as well, Tinming. You were also upset that day. We lost our daughter, our baby that night. We were both in pain then how come you just remember my pain and not your worst? How did you not remember that on that day you left me alone because I wanted you to do so? Wanted you to give me some space alone with my loss and my sorrows."

Chen Rui retorted back, without giving the man any opportunity to defend her. She still remembers the night well to remember how hurtful and ignorant she has become to his feelings. Unconsciously, blaming her miscarriage on the shoulders of the man.

Only if she had been a little understanding that day then maybe the sly woman wouldn't have gotten the chance to plot such a big thing on them. Only if her womb has not been weak and there have not been in talks going on around, Liu Hua would have never gotten the idea of replacing her with her dirty tricks. So if someone should be truly blamed then it should be her and not the man.

As she remembered all that, a lone tear rolled down her cheeks, feeling the pain the man should have endured after knowing the truth.

Shin Tinming looked at his wife and could only accept defeat willingly. He could not watch her blaming herself like that. After all, if he was not to be blamed then there was no way he could let her take the blame as well. So wiping her tears, he shook his head. "You were not at fault. You were just trying your best to stay strong at that time. So don't take the blame."

Chen Rui looked at him like that and smiled. "Who said I am taking the blame? If I or you take the blame it would only prove Li Xue's existence to be wrong. And that would be false. Our daughter's existence couldn't be wrong in any way. So I won't blame myself nor let you take the blame as well."

She said and the man couldn't be more proud of her. She was his proudest and the best choice of his life that he wouldn't forget even after his seventh life. Not able to hold in the adoration for her in his heart, he wrapped his arms around her, taking her in his deep embrace.

Both enjoyed the soothing embrace and for a moment let go of the thoughts of blames and the past that has long passed away.

But then suddenly Chen Rui pulled back as if she has remembered something really important to ask. "Tinming, this time how are you planning to deal with that woman. She dared to hurt Li Xue like this, her punishment this time shouldn't be simple and easily forgetful for her" She said and her eyes were sharp enough to say how much serious she was about the topic.

Shin Tinming eyes flashed with stern seriousness as he stepped back to tuck his hands in his pants pockets. Then looking at a far distance, he said, "That woman has dared to put her hands on our daughter, how can we be easy on her. She needs to know the blunder she has done."

"Tinming, you have already planned something?" It was an easy guess for Chen Rui. Knowing her husband well she could easily comprehend the meaning of his deep orbs at different times.

The man didn't reveal much. He just looked at the watch first and then said. "It's already past your dinner time. Let's finish your schedule first. I will take you somewhere after." He said before taking her hands to lead the way to the dining area.
