Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1208 She wasn't hoping to make a flashy appearance.

The next day, Li Xue was on time to reach the royal great hall. But to her bad luck, even after leaving the prior time, she was going to be late. She looked out of the window where the traffic looked all unmoving for quite some while now.

"Mr. Driver, do you think there a hope for us today?" She asked with skepticism laced in her tone. Although it was important to reach there fast, she could also see it getting impossible with every passing time. If getting there by car wasn't possible at the moment, then she would have to think of a way to get there with other means.

Du Fan looked ahead at the road. He had been trying his best but everything seemed futile because of the cramped-up traffic. There was neither a way to drive ahead nor a way to twist around to take another way.

"Madam, it seems something has happened ahead. Once it gets cleared, the vehicles will definitely start moving. Until then I feel we have no other choice but to wait here." Du Fan said, giving honks a few times.

Li Xue was also having a hard time sitting at a place. Looking into her watch, she sighed to say, "But the time is not going to wait along with us. It's passing by and we are still stuck here. Today, it was important, and I really didn't want to get there late."

Du Fan felt bad. Although the traffic wasn't his fault, he still felt embarrassed for not being able to help the lady. "Madam, I am sorry. But don't worry, I will try my best to get you to the royal great hall soon once this traffic moves."

He said and Li Xue shook her head, waving off his guilt. "Mr. Driver, the traffic isn't your fault. There is no need for you to apologize to me. Furthermore, I trust your skills in cars, so I know that once this traffic moves, you would surely get me to the royal grand meet immediately."

She said and the man just smiled weakly. He felt that it was the humbleness of the lady that was simply aiming to set him guilt-free.

"Madam, let's wait a few more minutes here. If the traffic problem doesn't get solved ahead, I will give a call to someone and arrange a chopper for you. Then, you won't be late." After thinking of some solutions, Du Fan suggested.

And his words of suggestion like that left Li Xue all dumbfounded for a moment.

A chopper! Like really?

Though she wanted to reach the royal great hall to attend the grand meet in time, she doesn't have any plans of making a flashy appearance like that. After all, bringing a chopper like that would be too grand. And not to mention, she was yet to be crowned as the royal princess.

Smiling awkwardly, Li Xue chuckled. "Haha … Mr. Driver, I hope this traffic gets clear soon as I won't be going by chopper. If possible, arrange something else which is less eye-catching for others". She said, and Du Fan didn't understand where did he suggested wrong.

Wouldn't a chopper be faster than any other means?

At that moment of time, when Li Xue was praying for the traffic to get clear up, her phone rang in her purse. She turned to take it out only to find it ringing with Chen Rui's name displayed on the screen. Just by seeing the name on the screen, she knew what the call was for.

Receiving the call very instant, she said, "Ma, I am sorry. I know I have to be there by this time. But I don't know why only today, the traffic has gotten like this. We are stuck here and our car is simply not moving." She said before Chen Rui could even speak on the other side.

"But dear, it's already time. We have to reach the great hall soon." Chen Rui said. And although her voice sounded very natural to ears, Li Xue knew that down somewhere the lady was worried as well. It was just that she was good at hiding it behind her elegant and composed composure.

Li Xue was in a tough spot as well. At a time like this, people were all used of saying that to not worry as they would be there soon. But Li Xue knew she couldn't say that because the traffic truly did not seem to be moving anywhere ahead. "Ma, we are trying but can't be too sure about it. Why don't you and Pa go to the great hall first?I will find a way to reach there soon. Don't worry, I will be there on time."

She said but Chen Rui was still worried. Not for arriving late at the royal meet, but for she felt like the girl would go hard on herself to reach on time, staking her safety.

"What are you going to try, Xiao Xue? You just said that there is huge traffic. In no way, you can make your car drive out from there." Chen Yui asked while staring at the two men on her side. While Shin Tinming was silently hearing her conversation, Shin You Jun was there tying his shoelace.

Li Xue looked out of the window once again when her eyes caught the sight of a bike, swiftly making its way out from the crowd. Her eyes shone as she instantly got an idea. "Ah, I got the way, Ma. I will ride the bike and get there soon. Don't worry."

She said and at her words like that, Chen Rui was first to reject. "Nope, Li Xue. You aren't going to ride the bike. It would be dangerous. Just sit in the car and wait for the traffic to simplify. Don't be reckless. You can reach the grand meet late; I will take the blame for your stance. But you better be safe. Did you hear that?"

The concern laced in the mother's voice was very evident. Li Xue couldn't doubt it. But hearing her like that, she couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Ma, you are worrying unnecessarily. I know how to ride a bike. And I can assure you that in the city no one could be better than me in it. I will be safe. Furthermore, I can't let you take the blame for my stance and would also not like to leave you and Pa alone there to deal with others. I would take the bike and come soon."

She said and Chen Rui could hear the adamance in her voice. She knew that even if she stopped her now, the girl would not hear her. So, it was only better to take the other way. But what?

She was still thinking when her eyes caught the sight of his son already getting ready. And she instantly said to Li Xue on call, "Fine, you can take the ride of the bike, Xiao Xue. But wait there, until You Jun reaches you. He would drive the bike and you would sit behind him all safe."

"But Ma …"

"Nothing else, Xiao Xue. I accepted your plan, now it's your turn to accept my arrangement. No more discussions on it." Before Li Xue could even say a word of rejection, Chen Rui quickly added hers.

And in the end, Li Xue had no other option but to agree. "Fine, Ma. I will share my location then." She said and could already visualize the lady smiling on the other end of the call.

Soon, the call got disconnected and Chen Rui turned to look back at her son, ready to give him the orders. But there the boy stood with a pout on his face.

"Ma, am I really your son? Because after you have met Sister, you only love and care for her." He said and Chen Rui simply rolled her eyes at him.

"We would discuss that later You Jun. For now, go and get your sister instead. Drive safely when you are with her. I don't want to see my children getting hurt. Okay?" She said and Shin You Jun simply pouted at her words.

The mention of the word 'children' might just be out of formality because he was sure his mother was more concerned for Li Xue's safety than him.The sourcᴇ of this content is novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net
