Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1154 - I Came To Meet WeiWei.

"Li Xue, I wanted to ask your help not just as a friend but also as my sister-in-law. And you better not reject me." Saying it Feng Yi Lan paused as if she was counting every second before Li Xue finally agree with her.

While Li Xue on the other hand didn't understand a thing between her words. Furrowing her brows together, she asked, "Yi Lan, what are you even saying? Reject you? When did I even do that? Tell me what it is about and we will work on it together. Why are you making me feel burdened with the two titles together?"

She said and Feng Yi Lan rejected, interrupting the very moment. "Dear, you can't take it easy this time. If it feels like a burden then also accept it. Accept it for me, because this time I need you like both, and apart from you I could ask none." She said and Li Xue further frowned at her words.

"Yi Lan, what is it? Can you be a bit clear?" She asked and Feng Yi Lan sighed to add.

"Tomorrow, Brother Shuai and I are going to meet father to discuss the date for engagement and marriage. So once the dates would be decided, I would need your help with almost everything. Be it for becoming my bridesmaid or for making the preparations, I would need you around. So, you have to help me by being both my friend and also my sister-in-law."

Feng Yi Lan said and, in her voice, the nervousness was very clear. But her nervousness seemed nothing to Li Xue.

Pursing her lips, Li Xue said, "Girl, you almost scared my wits out. Isn't this simple Why do you have to freak me out like that? Of course, I would be your bridesmaid. If not me, I don't think there is any other on your list. And as for preparations, there would be so many people around. I am sure when the time comes you won't need me."

She said but Feng Yi Lan rejected it straight away, "No, no, dear, you are not understanding it. It's not as simple as it seems. I don't think my mother would let this happen so easily. So instead of leaving the preparation on any other's shoulders, I want you to take the charge. Furthermore, won't you be the future matriarch of the family? Since I would be the youngest in the current generation to get married, shouldn't you take the charge to make things proper?"

She said and, in her tone, the nervousness was all clear. Li Xue could both hear and feel it well. Although she has never gone through the same, she has heard a lot about the wedding jitters.

"Fine, Yi Lan, don't get too nervous. Everything would be settled well. I will be there and Elder Sister Yi Ran would also be there. With us around, nothing would go wrong." She said, comforting the nervousness of the girl. "Firstly, tomorrow go and decide the dates. After then I will be there to be your perfect bridesmaid, without any say."

She said and only after hearing her assurance did Feng Yi Lan come to relax. Talking a few words more, they settle the call on a good note.

After Li Xue was done with her work, she checked the time and there was still a good time before striking the midnight. She took a deep breath before flexing her neck and arms to say. "Finally on time. Now my little devil won't have a thing to complain." She said before closing the files and keeping them aside.

Then pushing the chair, she stood up to leave the room. She was about to get inside her princess's room to check on her before going to sleep when suddenly she heard the doorbell ring. Her brows tugged in a frown as looking at her watch, she murmured. "This late at night … who could it be there?"

She was in her thoughts when the bell rang for the second time, confirming the presence outside the door. The door that Li Xue just had pushed to open, she pulled it back to close. Before turning to walk downstairs.

While she was taking the stairs down, she recalled the words of her princess.

[Mama, there may come a surprise for you. Don't sleep soon. Wait for it.]

"Could it be something that she had planned?" Li Xue asked herself as soon she was there at the door, reaching to open it. But just when she was about to open the door, an instinct in her alerted her. She took a few steps back and reached the dining space before taking a fork in her hand.

She couldn't take it easy. She was alone at home and it was quite late at night. The arrival of someone at this time doesn't seem simple. Though there were still people around, she couldn't take a risk. It was better to be safe than sorry. So not taking the risk, she took her best-hidden stance before reaching the door to open.

She looked from the peephole of the door but saw no one standing there. Outside, there look all silent. Slowly reaching the handle, she pulled it open. But this time, ready to attack first. The person rang the bell but didn't come into the front peephole. Wasn't it suspicious enough to give her the hints?

Opening the door, she was ready to attack first, but her movement paused when saw who was actually there. Her eyes blinked as staring at the person, she asked, "You … you are here?"

The person was no other but Shin You Jun, who has bent down to tie his shoelaces properly. He stared up at Li Xue and in her hands saw the fork up in the attack mode. To say, he wasn't sacred would be wrong as for a moment, her swift movements did scare him. But seeing her getting back to normal, he was now relieved.

"I … I came to meet WeiWei. I heard that she is not well. Is she alright now?"
