Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1046 - Fate Has Got The Magic To Bring People Together.

Chen Rui sat in her room, pondering over the things she has discussed earlier with Zhao Lingyue. She didn't even realize when the sun drowned in the west and the darkness of the evening approached. It only struck her realization when a maid came in to switch on the lights for her.

"Your Highness, I have switched on the lights for you. Do you need anything else?" The maid asked but when found the queen not giving any reply, she bowed her head before walking out of the room.

Just when the maid was walking out of the room, Shin Tingming came and saw his wife lost in her thoughts.

"Your Majesty!" The maid greeted quickly before leaving at once. Shin Tingming nodded to her as advancing his steps he entered inside the room.

"Rui, how was your day?" He asked but not even realizing his presence, the woman remained all silent, still lost in her own trance.

Shin Tingming looked at her like that and his brows pulled together. Earlier he has heard from the butler that for the first day, everything went well with the Cultural Club. Then what has exactly happened to keep the woman occupied like this?

Walking to her side, he reached out to hold her shoulders. "Rui? Is there something bothering you?" He asked, finally seeing the woman turning to look at him.

Chen Rui blinked at him. "Tingming, Aunt Zhao is askig us to register Li Xue under the royal name. What should we do now?" She asked and for a moment it even jolted the man out from his calm thoughts.

Registering the girl under the royal name was not an issue for them. They would be more than happy to do that. From the day they have accepted her to be one of them, they have been planning for this. But what concerns them was – will the girl agree to it.

They couldn't forget that even though they have accepted Li Xue as their daughter, Li Xue was still considering them as her parents and they just couldn't go and force her to do it fast. They wanted to give her as much time as she wanted. But these royal things are just too selfish. Even though they wanted to give the girl her good time to decide, the royal complexities were simply not allowing them to approve so.

"Tingming, what do you think? What should we do now?" Chen Rui asked. Her brows tugged together in concern. Asking Li Xue about it now meant only one thing– revealing the truth to her. Letting her know that she was not just any girl they were considering as their daughter, but truly the own blood and flesh of Tingming.

Will the girl be able to accept it? What if after knowing the truth, she comes to blame them?

Blames are not the things that scared them. But what did was – What if she starts maintaining distance from them? Won't that ruin everything? After so many years, they have now found her. In no way, they wanted to miss her now. Neither Shin Tingming nor Chen Rui would be able to take it.

Shin Tingming's pupils turned deep as looking at a distance for some moment, he thought before speaking, "Since Aunt Zhao has said that, she must have her reasons behind it. We should consider her way." He said and Chen Rui's brows tugged in a frown.

"What are you saying, Tingming? It wouldn't be this easy, you know. What would happen if Xiao Xue …" Not even been able to complete her thoughts, Chen Rui shook her head to reject it immediately. "No, no, Tinming. We couldn't be that cruel. We should wait for her to accept us first. Otherwise, she might not be able to understand." She said and there was a shiver of fear down her voice that was presenting the emotions she was feeling down her heart.

Shin Tinming turned to look at her. Though his expressions held a kind of tranquility, deep inside his eyes as well, Chen Rui could see the wavering confidence. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by Noᴠel Fɪre.net - ɴovᴇlbin

"Tinming ..."

Cupping her palms in between his, Tinming interrupted her, "Rui, we can't change the things that are bound to happen. Accept it. We tried, but look we are again brought to the same place from where we have begun. This meant only one thing. Let the truth come out and let the person decide on her own. If later after knowing everything, she decides to be with us; decides to take us as her parents, then we will be happy more than what we are today."

"But what if it turns opposite? What if after knowing she rejects us and …"

Though the thought of that was already a jab to their heart, it was also the truth that lied on the other face of the coin that has got a fifty percent chance. They wouldn't be able to restrict its probability of coming up.

Shin Tinming smiled. "If it turns out to be like that then too, we should be happy. At least, she would finally know the truth and would be able to think and decide, considering everything with equality. She would no longer be in the dark thinking about what she did wrong to deserve a mother like Liu Hua. She would know the reason for all her sufferings in previous years was me. It would be good in a way."

He said and Chen Rui couldn't find any sense in it. "Tinming …" She wanted to talk more about it but as if he had decided on his own, the man was not ready to hear anything more.

"Rui, it's fine. Give her the chance and believe in fate. Sometimes fate has got the magic to bring people together." He said and then turned to leave. "You rest early. I still have some work to attend to. I will come later." He said and then left.

Behind, Chen Rui remained, still adamant about her thoughts. "Even if it means to reveal the truth, Tinming, I will make sure it happens in a way that it doesn't push Xiao Xue away from us. Being the father, you might not do anything, but being her mother, I would definitely find ways.." She said as she turned to reach her phone.
