Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 697 - A crow would never become a swan.

The things leaped soon. After the visit of Li Xue to the Royal palace, a week and a half passed. The offer from the Royal Cultural Association was officially accepted and signed but no news related to it was sent in the media for the public's knowledge.

Since the first mile for Li Xue has been the Aurora Fashion, Li Xue gave all her efforts to it which made her spend her time more and more at Feng Yi Lan's studio.

The new year was already near and the things at the studio were in full swing. Though it was near the deadline, none was stressed about it. It was happening for the first time in Aurora's history that the preparations were running all in advance. The staff were relaxed and at the same time were very enthusiastic about the coming show.

"Boss, the invitation teaser for our Spring Collection is already out. The responses are not coming as we have thought but, it's been only 15 minutes before we have released them. The PR staff is saying it will take some time but will definitely hit the charts soon", A staff member came to inform Feng Yi Lan, who was busy on her laptop.

Feng Yi Lan didn't bother to look up from her laptop. Keeping her head still all fixed at its position, she nodded. "I see. It's fine then give it some time. I am confident in both Li Xue and our brand's designs." She said, gesturing the staff to leave if there was nothing else to say.

"We understand that, Boss. But the PR office is still waiting to hear your thoughts on the invitation teaser. Could you please check it once and let us know?" The staff asked and Feng Yi Lan nodded.

"Fine, give me some time. I will complete reading this draft and check it. Till then you can go for other jobs." She said and the staff nodded before leaving the room at once. Once left, Feng Yi Lan completed her on-hand work first, before moving to check the invitation teaser. But just when she could open the file of the teaser, her eyes caught something more interesting.

Moving her mouse pointer she clicked it on without any hesitation and the next moment burst into a peal of laughter. The video played on loop and Yi Lan's laughter all continued. But right at that moment, a curious knock at the office door paused everything.

"Yes, come in!" Feng Yi Lan responded to the knock, as the door was pushed to reveal Li Xue standing with curious brows. "Oh, sweetheart. It's you. Come in, come in. I have something interesting for you". Yi Lan said, finding it was no other but Li Xue at the door.

"Girl, what are you doing? Why are you laughing so much? Do you know people outside were so terrified thinking you have been possessed by some evil spirit", Li Xue said, closing the door behind her, before walking to the girl to see what was so interesting to make her laugh to this extent.

When saw what it was, her lips pursed as she turned to give, 'are you serious?' look at her friend. "Yi Lan! Really? Like this news has already grown two days old now and you are still laughing at it. Come on, forget it now. You have already quite enjoyed it". She said as but Feng Yi Lan only shook her head in disagreement.

"No way, sweetheart! I can't leave it. Just look at what people are saying. If it would have been possible, I would love to see that trash of the woman 's real expressions while looking at them. Did she really think she was a match for you?" Feng Yi Lan said as she clicked the video once more on her laptop. "She was showing off her marriage in front of us and look, it seems like Zheng Wenting has left her alone to handle everything here".

Li Xue stared at the laptop screen where a few days prior's viral video was playing. Without any say, no one could look as pitiful as Wen Sying looked in there. Though they planned to bring her into this situation, the further sequences that their one move unfolded were not something they had thought of.

Her plan was only to bring Sying to the situation where she was compared to her. She never thought that just when it will be happening, Zheng Wenting will leave her behind all alone and rush away to look into his business matters in the other city. But what else could she expect from him? Hasn't he always been like this? It was so sympathetic to see her dealing in such a situation, but at the same time, it was so satisfying as well.

"Sweetheart, it took so much patience for me. I almost sacrificed a night's sleep to see her come to this part. There is no way I am not going to enjoy this. Come here, I will show you my favorite highlights from this show", Feng Yi Lan said, chiming all enthusiastically while seeing Wen Sying at her worst. Her hands moved to click on the related comments as she read along. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on N(o)vᴇl(F)ire

"Some pictures could really reveal the true identity of nature. No matter how hard the crow tries, it would never become a swan. Wen Sying has truly lived that example".

"After seeing these pictures, we should laugh at people's blindness. What made people think that she could be the top-notch model representing our country. Thanks to the Heavens, our country still has the beauties like Li Xue who has come to aid our country's image. Or else …"

"What does Wen Sying think by posting these pictures online? Does she really think she could overshadow Li Xue? Our Li Xue has always been the goddess. Be it in the past or after her returns. She has the charms that could never fade away."

"The enthusiasm of her has only made her become the laughing stock amidst others. Even her fiancée who has promised her an engagement soon has left her alone. Serves her right. In the past, she has dared to live the popularity of others. Now she has come to understand her real position".

The comments went on one after the other as Feng Yi Lan read it on and on. Li Xue heard them but her response was only to purse her lips. She looked at her friend and said, "Yi Lan, just hearing them I know they are the comments set by either your people or the people that follow me."

"So what? They are still the comments, trending on the internet. Since it is trending, it only means people are supporting those thoughts. What's wrong with that?" Yi Lan defended the moment she heard Li Xue raising a suspicion like that. "Furthermore, have you even read what people are saying about you on the internet? Your pictures are no less trending with those pictures. There have been many boys saying that you have become the ideal beauty with whom they would love to stand at the wedding stage".

She added and Li Xue rolled her eyes.

"Fine, fine I know. That place has gotten reserved for my brother. But do you really have to forsake all the other choices around?" Yi Lan countered, understanding well the meaning behind her friend's expression.

"Yi Lan …"

"Especially when my brother is there enjoying his time with another beauty?" She added, pausing Li Xue both in her words and thoughts.
