Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 980 - Tic For Tac.

Li Xue's expression paused for a moment as she stared at Lin Xinyi. What she heard was enough to shake any woman in her position. But compared to them, she looked very calm and composed. Like she has just not felt the floor down her feet moving.

And that was something scary. Lin Xinyi had not expected that one response from her. She has thought that hearing her say that girl might accuse her of the things or feel betrayed but here she felt like Li Xue was there hearing her like a friend. A friend who is always there for you to hear the stories of your falling in love and then breaking up with your partner.

"L-Li Xue, won' you say anything. I just …" Feeling a bit off at Li Xue's no special response, Lin Xinyi didn't know how to continue. She has not meant to cause her shock. It was just that she doesn't want to keep it from her because as she has grown close to the girl. She doesn't want to lose her like she has lost everything else in her life.

Li Xue looked at Lin Xinyi and slowly, her lips curled up in a warm smile. Her hands moved to reach out Lin Xinyi's pair that was already holding onto her on the table with some warmth as she said, "It's okay, Sister Xinyi. I understand."

Lin Xinyi was confused at her words. Though her anxious heart was feeling eased with the warmth of the girl's touch, her words were still sounding delusional in her ears. "You understand?"

Li Xue nodded.

"What? Don't you blame me?" Lin Xinyi was more perplexed as she saw Li Xue further shaking her head.

"Why would I blame you? It's not like it was your fault. Knowing Shufen already for all this while, I already know he is that fire for which every moth would readily stake their life. So, if you have been also one among them, why should I blame you. Furthermore, how could one's love become their guilt?" Li Xue explained her thoughts.

And hearing her thoughts, Lin Xinyi felt worst inside. Not because she felt Li Xue's words to be offensive. But for she knew her love for the man was doomed to become her biggest regret.

Her lips tugged up in a curl. Though it was hard to tell if that curl of lips was in satisfaction or not, she sure felt happy seeing Li Xue understanding her so well. "You're sure you think like that and not just saying on a whim to not make me feel too bad in heart?"? Though she could see the expression on the girl's face to be very firm, she still asked it to confirm.

Li Xue blinked with affirmation as she shook her head. "I never say anything on a whim, Sister Xinyi. Rest assured; whatever I say I believe from heart." She said and looking at the dishes, she helped the woman in putting in the sink.

Lin Xinyi looked at her from behind as internally she thought – 'only if I have been half sensible as her in the past. I might not have ended in the way I did. I might have not become a pawn of my own selfish craziness. But maybe that was the fate I brought on myself and now I could no longer change it'.

"Moreover, Sister Xinyi, have I not known that there are many girls out just in a delusion to become the Cinderella of the Prince Charming? If you have been there, you would still be the Queen taking over the King. What's there to think about it?" Li Xue said again as in the meantime she has already put the dishes into the dishwasher.

Her words snapped Lin Xinyi out of her regretting thoughts as shaking her head she denied. "I am no Queen. If I have been don't you think I would have long succeeded." She said and just with those words the conversation turned a bit awkward. She might not want to bring it that way, but in the state, she was in, she wasn't able to help.

Li Xue still forced a smile as getting back to Lin Xinyi, she said, "This is not an ancient age, Sister Xinyi. In this era, there is not just one king, there are many. You just need to find your fated one." She said while gentling to give a pat over Lin Xinyi's shoulders then turning to look at the clock, she said, "Anyway, I won't disturb you more. It's already late and I should leave first. There is more food kept in the refrigerator, so if you feel hungry you can microwave it."

She said and then taking her bag from the side, she turned, ready to leave. But her steps come to a pause as she heard, Lin Xinyi saying something more from behind.

"Li Xue, I never said that I want to change my love interest. I might still have my heart on the same man. Is it wrong?"

She said and at that second confession, Li Xue felt her fa?ade breaking. All this while she has tried her best to keep calm. But now she could no longer feel she could do the same. She was a woman too, how could she be patient enough to take another woman's confession for her man. Wouldn't it be tough for her?

Her fingers balled up on the sides as filling her lunges with air she turned to look back at the woman, ready to say something on the impulse of a burning heart. But her words paused when saw Lin Xinyi giving a teasing smile her way.

"Haha … Li Xue, if it was so tough to keep it in, why not reveal it in the first go? I wouldn't have judged you if for once you have behaved like a normal girl. I can understand your feeling as after so many months, I can read your way of thinking. I know you don't blame me. But at the same time, I also know you can be one to feel the jealousy internally while hiding it well at the front."

Since Lin Xinyi was the one nurturing Li Xue in the field of modeling, she was attentive to her every aspect. It was not hard for her to tell which strings were to be pulled to tease the girl. After all, better than a teacher, no one knows his student.

"Sister Xinyi, you were …"

"Li Xue, my heart might still waver seeing the sight of that one man to an extent of putting me sick, but I have long given up on that feeling of love for him. So, I would never be a love rival for you, nor like I stand a chance. That's something I can assure you of, but I can't say the same about your other love rivals. As you know they are bound to come and you would need to handle them in your way. Their case may not be similar to mine. So, hope you are prepared."

Lin Xinyi assured and Li Xue smiled at her with some thought. "Don't worry, Sister Xinyi, I don't need to be prepared since others have no chance now."

Lin Xinyi felt amused. "You seem very confident of that."

Li Xue smiled. "My confidence is not for no reason, Sister Xinyi. I have received enough security to know that not just any woman could come to snatch away my man from me."

Lin Xinyi's brows raised at her words, to which Li Xue explained. "President Feng is no longer my boyfriend, Sister Xinyi. He is my husband. And knowing his high principles, I have no sense of insecurity regarding our relationship. And I told you this because you were my manager and I shouldn't keep much of my personal details secret from you."

She said and Lin Xinyi could no longer be sure if she should laugh or cry. Though the girl has said that she understands her, still she has not stepped back without announcing her area of possession. This chapter is updatᴇd by ɴo(v)elFɪre.net - novelenglish.net . bin
