Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1111 - Lucky Charm.

Li Xue nodded as her eyes glowed with the plans she had in her thoughts. After a while, she looked back at Gao Fan, who looked like he was waiting for something more to say.

"Mr. Secretary, is there something else?" She asked, staring up at him. "From your expression, I feel that there is something."

Gao Fan nodded. "Madam, although it's tough to get to know what happening amidst the royales, some of our sources have said that soon a big meet would be held to question the current king of the palace. Prince Su Ce seemed to be getting the upper hand as more and more of the royal people are getting on his side. If it remains like this, during this meet itself, His Highness, Shin Tingming would have to give up his crown."

He said and for a moment Li Xue's expression changed. But then thinking for some time, she shook her head. "Nothing of that sort would be happening. Just help me fix the meet-up with Shen Bingling first. For the rest, we will see as the time comes." She said and nodded according to her Gao Fan left to make arrangements, while Li Xue also stood up to take a break.

Sitting on a chair could be hectic! No one could deny that. And after sitting there like that for hours, she needed a break as well. Furthermore, she couldn't let the maid complain once more about it to Mr. Beelzebub. Otherwise, she feared that just not the files she was reading wouldn't exist but also the library would soon go extinct.

On the other hand, Su Ce was enjoying his time. He was having a sense of victory everywhere he went. In his age of twenty-eight years, this was the first time that even in the competition of Shin Tingming, he was sure that success would only come his way.

"Master, I just received the call from the office of Mr. Liang. He said in the meeting, he would be on the side of the profit and that's us. So, on our list, we can always include them now. And we also got replies from Liu, Fung, and Deng. They all would be supporting us." Pei Biming reported, just after disconnecting the call, he just had.

Su Ce smiled. "Ahaan! I see I wasn't wrong to take the new Princess as my lucky charm. Since she has come into my life, from all around I am only having are the good news. What do you think, Biming? Hasn't she been? My lucky star." He said, his words held a lot of meaning but none were supported by the playful expression he held on his face.

Pei Biming paused but didn't reply to his that one question, instead spoke something that was keeping him concerned, "But Master, I fear Shens would still be unwilling to come on our side. We have not yet heard anything different from them. Like the last time, they are saying that although they have left the side of His Highness, they wouldn't be joining any forces against him. In the meet, they might be standing in solitude."

He said and to his report like that, Su Ce wasn't anxious. "Getting Shens in our teams has never been in my plans. Unless they are not on the side of my competitor, I would be fine. And by standing in solitude, they would be neutral to us; they could neither bring us harm nor profit. So, take it easy." He said as he leaned forward to get himself a cup of tea. "Just wait for the meet-up to surface, Biming. I am sure seeing me finally ascending the throne, you won't doubt my lucky charm."

He added, giving a meaningful gaze to his assistant. He has not missed that amidst all their talks, Pei Biming has not once agreed with his words.

"Master, Ms. Li Xue is already married. I have checked her status."

At his informative tone like that, Su Ce couldn't help but give a flutter of laughter. "Haha … What are you even thinking, Biming? For becoming someone's lucky start, marital status is not required." He said and once again his words were a mystery for the assistant to understand.

Like the top-notch secretary, Gao Fan was; it didn't take him much time to arrange the thing Li Xue has asked him for. In the evening itself, the meeting was arranged between Li Xue and Shen Bingling.

Once Li Xue received the message from him, she set out from home after sending a short text to Feng Shufen, informing him about her evening plans.

Du Fan has not expected this sudden evening-out, so when saw Li Xue coming out, he asked in a slight tone of disbelief, "Madam, are you really going out?"

Li Xue pressed her lips in a thin like as her brows got wrinkled, "Mr. Driver, didn't I text you the address already? Of course, I am going out. And don't worry, I have already recovered and I can go anywhere I want. Furthermore, I also didn't go out to visit the main mansion for the gathering. It's okay to go around and see the world once again." She said before taking the steps ahead to get into the car.

Although Du Fan opened the door for her, he still looked hesitant. "But Madam, on the visit to the main mansion, Young Master accompanied you." He said and Li Xue halted for a second as turning to look at Du Fan, she raised her brows.

"Mr. Driver, are you saying that I will only be okay with your Young Master around?" Though Li Xue knew that the driver was just being a bit concerned for her, still somewhere she felt those words a bit offensive.

Understanding that he was getting misunderstood because of his words, Du Fan shook his head. "No, no, Madam, I didn't intend to say that. It's just that earlier I got to know from Secretary Gao that you are going to meet Princess Shen Bingling, who dared to hurt you last time." He said and the genuineness of his fear was evident in his expressions.

Li Xue was offended at his words before, but now hearing him explain, she couldn't remain the same. "Mr. Driver, I understand your concern for me, especially after what happened the last time. But did you not confirm with Mr. Secretary that whatever happened to me last time, Shen Bingling wasn't truly one behind it? Rather she was also made a pawn of someone else's game. That's why today, I am going to meet her and discuss it with her. Don't worry, I would be safe."

She said, trying her best to convince the man but Du Fan was still hesitant. Since it was an order from her, the driver didn't reject it but, internally made a note to not repeat his mistake from last time.. This time he would make sure to keep himself on alert even if it means going in along with the woman as her bodyguard.
