Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1001 - How Rude And Insensitive!

"Xiao Xue, what do you think of Su Ce? Do you have any questions regarding him?" Chen Rui asked as her hands elegantly moved to get a napkin from the table to wipe off her lips and hands as she completed her lunch.

Li Xue, who has been accompanying the lady scrunched her brows a little as she asked in confusion, "What about him?" She didn't quite well understand what the lady was referring to, but seeing the seriousness of her face she could say that it was something important.

Before Chen Rui could explain her words, from the side, Shin You Jun interrupted scooping up the food in his mouth. "What's there to think of him, Ma? That man is simply too obsessed with himself and thinks that everyone would value him. He got a slap today. That's it. There is nothing to think about him." He said, shrugging out his shoulders and at his attitude, the mother could only purse his lips.

"You Jun, how many times should I say that you shouldn't interrupt in between elder's conversation?"

"But Ma, she is my sister, isn't it?" The young prince whined; to which Chen Rui was first to interrupt.

"Elder sister, if I am not wrong."

"Ma …"

"You Jun, stay quiet and let me talk." Chen Rui snapped with a sharp look before turning back to Li Xue to continue, "Xiao Xue, don't mind him. What I am asking you is about Su Ce? What do you think about him? You will be soon professionally working with him, so you need to be comfortable around him."

She said and Li Xue pondered for a moment. She understood what the woman was asking for, but at the moment she couldn't think more. Or more like to say, she didn't want to think of that particular guy.

"Umm … I find him a little cunning. But professionally, I am confident that I can easily handle him. You don't have to worry about work. For the time, be more focused on your health." Li Xue said, helping the lady with a glass of water.

Chen Rui smiled. Of course, she knew that the girl was pretty capable to handle things herself. And if anything appears, she would be always there for her. So, there was nothing to worry about. But still being a mother, she wanted to provide her with the best.

"Xiao Xue, I won't say he is a good person but, to be honest, he is best in his job. There won't be anyone better than him in this field. You will know when you will start working from next week." She said and Li Xue nodded.

"I believe in your insight," Li Xue said before picking her phone to check the time. Then smiling, she added, "Ah, it's already time. I would need to leave first." She said before pushing the chair to get up with a smile.

Chen Rui smiled, nodding. Though she didn't want to let go of the girl, she was also aware of her responsibilities to know that it wouldn't be nice of her to ignore everything just to stay with her.

"Mhm … time flies with speed around you. I won't stop you. You can go but tell me if you are free on the weekend. I have a banquet to attend and I would love to take you along with me." The queen said as pushing the chair, she as well stood up to walk along with Li Xue.

Shin You Jun as well followed the suit. "Ma, you never asked me? The weekends are always free for me and …" He said, quickly but sophisticatedly. He was halfway in his words when the mother interrupted to clear his doubts.

"That's because you are not my daughter. And mothers love to carry their daughters around with them." She said before turning back to look at Li Xue. Shin You Jun no longer whined. Though he made a snotty face, he has well prepared himself for the bias-ness of his parents he would be facing in near future.

Li Xue looked at the boy and couldn't help but give a teasing smile to him. But then turning to the lady, she said, "Ma, sorry, but I don't think that would be possible. I have a few plans on weekends. So, I …"

She said with gentleness without completely explaining what her small plans were about. Chen Rui understood her well. Nodding, she agreed readily but from behind, once again came a noisy interruption.

"What are your plans on weekends? Are you going for a bike race? If yes, race with me and see. This time I will surely defeat you." Shin You Jun said and Li Xue controlled herself from rolling her eyes at him.

But then pressing her lips together, she turned to him with a nonchalant expression to say, "Children shouldn't ride speedy vehicles. It's dangerous. Do you get it?" She talked like an elder and her words instantly made, the young prince's expressions go ugly.

Look, who was talking? The one who can't drive a bike any safer. Shin You Jun wanted to talk about double standards but knew well that even if he said so, his mother won't believe it.

So, keeping himself low, he asked once more in his best polite tone, that almost itched his own nerves. "If not a bike ride, then what more is there in your plans, my dear Elder Sister?"

Li Xue shook her head internally, before finally revealing to satisfy the kid. But instead of saying on his face, she turned to look at the lady to say, "Actually, recently, I am not able to give proper time to WeiWei. So, to make up for that, I have plans to take her out on the weekend. She is already excited about it and her happiness is something I value the most."

Chen Rui nodded with a smile. "WeiWei is still a little girl who needs her mother. It's good to see you balancing things well. Go for it. I will take you to the banquet another time. I receive many invites every time." She said, to which Li Xue smiled.

"By the way, where are you taking her?" Giving some thought, Chen Rui asked and at once, Li Xue replied.

"To the amusement park. She never went to one since we shifted to Jingling City."

And at her words, Shin You Jun at once yelled with excitement. "Me too. I have also never gone to an amusement park."

Li Xue's eyes grew bigger at his pitched voice but then came back to nonchalance; only to make the boy feel aggrieved.

"Hey, you are my Elder Sister now, take me there." He said but Li Xue gave no response to his command. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet - novelenglish.net . bin

Simply smiling at the queen, she said, "Ma, I will take your leave first. I need to go and see some other things as well." Saying that she left, waving her hands to the people behind.

Behind, Shin You Jun huffed and puffed but it was of no use.. The woman has left without batting an eye at him. How rude and insensitive! How could she be like that to him? He was her younger brother and she should pamper him, right?
