Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1004 - To Not Lose The Happy Ending.

Soon the car arrived at Glamour World and as Li Xue has said earlier, while she walked inside the company building, Li Wei remained back in the car blabbering her stories and experiences with Du Fan.

As Li Xue walked in, everyone on the way greeted her with a smile, and she as well reciprocated with the same. Suddenly her eyes caught the sight of Xiao Meng at a distance. And without thinking much of anything, Li Xue went to ask her. "Meng Meng, has Sister Xinyi returned to work?"

It took some time for the girl to understand her appearance. But when she realized her lips curved upwards as she nodded to say, "Yes, Sister Xue, Sister Xinyi is in her office and she looks a lot better from before."

Li Xue nodded. "Great then, I will go and meet her first." She said and then walked away. Xiao Meng wanted to stop her but before she could Li Xue was already in the elevator.

Upstairs, as the sliding doors of the elevator dinged open, Li Xue walked out. She was not sure how she behaved with Lin Xinyi the last time she met her at her place. But if she has behaved wrongly, she would make sure to apologize to her today. After all, what Lin Xinyi has told her last time was not out of any ill motive rather to keep the transparency in their relationship. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net - novelenglish.net . bin

Thinking of that way, she soon came to knock on the office door before pushing it open without any restriction. But both her gaze and her action paused when her eyes caught the two people inside the room. Her lips opened to say something but suddenly felt that any word would come out wrong at the moment.

So, pressing her lips shut again, she gave some right thought before saying, "Sister Xinyi, let me know when I could come inside the room; till then I would wait outside." Li Xue said and then pulled the door shut after her.

After quite some moment, a hasty call of Su Fai came from inside making Li Xue almost chuckle out under her breath.

"Li Xue, you can come in."

Though there was already permission given, Li Xue still knocked at the door before pushing the door open to greet with a smile. "Good afternoon, CEO Su and Sister Xinyi. I apologize for my previous offense." She said as her eye trailed to look from Su Fai to Lin Xinyi. Both were standing at a distance but something was really messy in their upright attitude.

"It's not what you are thinking, Li Xue. It was just an accident where I almost tripped and CEO Su was just helping me. We were …" Lin Xinyi tried to explain but reaching some point, she felt herself getting wordless. Like her words weren't making any sense.

Her cheeks were flushed red and Li Xue could already feel her embarrassment. Not tickling her more about it, she smiled and shook her head, switching the topic for her profit, "Don't worry, Sister Xinyi, I am here to just say you sorry for the last day if I may have offended you in any way."

Lin Xinyi felt relief inside. Shaking her head, she denied, "Ah that was nothing. You were just being real you. I liked it. At least I didn't need to worry about it afterward." She said as her lips curled up.

Li Xue reciprocated as well. "I never knew I held that side until I saw it coming out in front of you." She said and amid their talks, Su Fai felt all alienated. He wanted to ask but remembering the incident from earlier, he didn't want to stir up the things.

"By the way Li Xue, from next week, your assignments would start with the Royal Association. I have talked to Her Highness's assistant. As you know that there would be different skills that would need your participation. If you want, we can request some time so that you can revise and be prepared; but as far as I have read and known about the things, it would just require basics. And …"

Lin Xinyi tried to explain something useful. She was halfway when paused seeing Li Xue shake her head.

"Sister Xinyi, don't worry, in the previous years, I have learned them well. Though my skills might not be best suitable for competition, handling swords, horses and others are still easy for me. I won't look like a noob doing them.' She said with a confident smile that assured Lin Xinyi in the heart.

Nodding, she agreed, "Fine then. Later when activities would begin, I will come to check the things for you." She said and Li Xue couldn't be more satisfied.

"Sure, Sister Xinyi." She said before turning to look at Su Fai, who was standing on the side the same as before. He looked like a little kid who was trying his best to make everyone forget about his wrong. Looking at him like that, Li Xue couldn't control her smile. But not making it too obvious, she quickly ignored to look back at Li Xinyi. "That was all for which I was here today, Sister Xinyi. Please allow me to leave now. I won't disturb you more."

She said and then with a meaningful smile, she retreated back to get out of the room. Though Lin Xinyi wanted to say something, she doesn't know what exactly she could say. So, opening her lips, she closed it back, pressing it together.

"You …" Su Fai was about to start but before he could begin Li Xue already left the room waving her hands. So, turning to look at Lin Xinyi, he scratched the back of his ears with some embarrassment, "Don't worry about her. I will go and clear up the things with her." He said before running out of the room as well.

Lin Xinyi could only watch him like that. There was nothing she could say even if she wanted as the man was already gone.

Outside, Li Xue was walking to take the elevator when her steps paused hearing Su Fai's call from behind.

"Li Xue, wait!"

She turned only to see the man coming to her with a slight heavy breath. Her brows raised with some amusement. "You are here? I thought you might be …" her voice grew slow as her gaze gestured suggestively towards Lin Xinyi's cabin.

"Hey, didn't we say there was nothing like what you are thinking?" Su Fai interrupted, giving a friendly glare and Li Xue looked at him with more amusement.

"We? If I am not wrong only Sister Xinyi tried to clarify the situation. While you were standing there all silent, like waiting to accept the punishment of your not-so-offensive crime." She said, rubbing her chin with some thought.

"I-I just didn't want to embarrass her there."

"Huh? Embarrass? Were you doing something that could make her embarrassed?" Li Xue intentionally pointed at his used words making Su Fai all tongue-tied for a moment.

"Li Xue, you …"

At his irritated yell like that Li Xue could no longer take any more. Laughing hard at his situation, she shook her head before easing the man's hyped nerves. "Fine, fine, I know nothing was happening between you and Sister Xinyi earlier. She might have just tripped and you would have been helping her. But it's not necessary to remain same always, you know." She said and both in her words and expression, there was no longer a tease but friendly advice.

Su Fai understood her indication well but didn't mean to accept. Maybe for he knew Lin Xinyi's side better. "Li Xue, I …" Ready with his words, he was almost there to reject her suggestive idea when Li Xue interrupted him, patting over his shoulders.

"Su Fai, I have seen you before there. The way you were looking at her said it all. Maybe it seems a bit difficult to you now but it may not be impossible in the future. Just keep yourself calm and patient" she said and, in her voice, held something that didn't let Su Fai reject it anymore.

Li Xue smiled, seeing the man finally not denying the idea. Giving a nod of understanding and appreciation to him, she walked away. Soon the elevator stopped for her and she walked in ready to leave.

Suddenly everything around felt so peaceful and calm, like her story that once ended with a nightmare was finally getting a happy ending. But at the same time, somewhere inside her, there was also a voice telling her that what she was taking as a happy ending may not be exactly the one. Like somewhere maybe there was a wind stirring that she was all unaware of.

Though the feeling was strong inside her, Li Xue shrugged her thoughts off. 'It's just your feeling, dear. Nothing serious, and even if something is stirring up, prepare yourself to not lose your happy ending', she calmed herself, talking to her internal self.

But little did she know, to some point, her instincts were right. There was definitely something stirring up somewhere.
