Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1071 - Tell Us Before Our Principles Forces Us To Punish You.

The little girl looked at her parents and rubbed her eyes to wipe away the remaining hints of sleep from it. "Daddy Angel, did Mama take her medicines?" She asked, turning to look at Feng Shufen with sleepy seriousness.

Li Xue was kind of taken aback by her question. Though it was about her, the girl has not asked her, instead has turned to look at the man to ask directly. The intention was clear but she couldn't believe that she could be treated like this by her daughter as well.

She turned to look at Feng Shufen and looking at the same time at her, the man shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. I was working when she came here." He said looking back at the girl. And understanding his play, Li Xue opened her mouth to retort but the smirk playing on the man's lips sealed her up.

Pressing her lips, she turned back to look at her daughter to defend herself. "Dear, I …"

Before she could say anything, the girl was already down her height, looking up at her with brows tugged in worry. "Mama, I know the medicines are very bitter in taste. But it's important for your recovery. Tell WeiWei honestly, did you take your medicine?" She asked and her voice was so soft that instead of defending herself from before, Li Xue could only purse her lips at her.

"Mama?" When saw her mother not saying anything in reply, Li Wei asked again. This time, tugging on Li Xue's hands with more concern.

Li Xue looked down at her daughter and got down on her knees to get parallel to her height. Tugging her hair gently behind her ears, she asked, "Sweetie, do you ever troubled me while having medicines when you get sick?"

The little girl shook her head. "Nope, Mama. You have always taught me to be sensible since childhood. How could WeiWei make Mama worry by not taking the medicines? Furthermore, you have always said that the more bitter is the medicines, the quicker would be the recovery. How could WeiWei complain about that?"

She said and the mother smiled at her answer. She has already expected something like this to come. Cupping the cheeks, she then replied to her, "Then baby, do you think your Mama teaches you something while herself follows something else?"

Li WeiWei thought deeply for a moment and then shook her head. "No, Mama. You and I are same since we always follow the same rules."

"Then believe me. Mama will never do anything intentionally to worry her princess. I have taken my medicines." Li Xue smiled and said to her while staring at her mother with a pout, the little one believed.

"But Mama, I didn't doubt you. It's just that WeiWei thought that it's good to recheck naughty Mama's words twice." She said and Li Xue felt all dumbfounded with her words.

Naughty Mama? Was she one? Was this little girl purposefully switching the role with her?

Pointing a finger to herself, she was ready to ask her to clear her words but before she could say anything, the girl had already sprinted her way to her Daddy Angel, climbing up in his arms.

"Daddy Angel, are we going out? When I was coming to your study, I heard you discussing with Mama." Though in sleepiness, the little girl's ears were still sharp enough to hear everything going around. "Will we also have ice cream later?"

She asked, and giving a gaze towards Li Xue, Feng Shufen was ready to go but before he could open his mouth to say any word in the favor of the plan, Li Xue reached out to them. Taking the little devil from him, she put her down on her feet before turning to look back at the man with a gaze that meant: don't-you-dare-think-of-skipping-your-work.

"Mr. Beelzebub, you have a lot to do. So, focus on that. As for us, …" She said to Feng Shufen before pausing her words to look down at her princess to continue. "Since we have time today, we would enjoy like we always used to do in past."

Little Li Wei didn't understand well, so she waited to hear it well from her mother. Keeping her head up at her mother, she blinked her eyes with patience.

"Sweetie, it's been a month since I haven't discovered any new dessert. Do you want to be my assistant chef for today?" Understanding the confusion of her girl, Li Xue explained, and at her plan, WeiWei's eyes glimmered.

Smiling with full of excitement, she nodded before raising her hands to say, "Aye, aye, Captain." She said and seeing her happy like that, Li Xue was satisfied.

Smiling at her daughter, she extended her hand for her to hold before turning back to look at the man at the desk. "It's settled then. We would go first. As for you, complete your work soon, so that later at night you don't have to pull an all-nighter, okay?"

She said and Feng Shufen nodded.

While on the other side, in the royal palace,

Shin You Jun was sweating profusely. His gaze was down at fault. He didn't dare to raise them up to look at his parents, who were waiting to hear his reply. But was he surprised?

Nope, he wasn't. Because the moment, he agreed to help Li Xue being her informer, he knew he would not be able to keep it for the long run. Sooner or later, he would get caught. Not by others, but by his own parents. And it happened. He wasn't able to conceal it even for a day and was easily caught on the phone.

Now, what would be the consequence? He doesn't even know himself.

"You Jun, your father has asked you something. Who did you report our personal affairs?" Chen Rui asked. Her expressions were all strict and authoritative. If not for her son, she wouldn't have even cared to ask him this question. But for she knew the boy, she also was aware that in no way he would be up on the wrong path. "You know talking about royal affairs outside the family is banned. Then to whom did you speak to?"

"…" Shin You Jun closed his eyes as he cursed Li Xue internally. If not for her plan, he would not have been struck here. Now, who would save him from his parent's wrath?

"You Jun!" Feeling her patience draining, Chen Rui couldn't hold it any longer.

Shin You Jun flinched from his position. "Ma, don't beat me. Don't beat me. Believe me, I am your son. I would never speak anything inappropriate to outsiders." He confessed, alternating his gaze between both his parents.

Shin Tingming looked at his son. With his hand, behind, he simply asked, "We believe that much in you that's why you are still standing here, You Jun. You know if it had been any other, where he or she would have been by now? Now tell us, who was on the call, before we get forced by our principles to punish you.." He said and his words came out as a warning that the boy could never dare to take easy.
