Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1214 Spill wrong beans at wrong timing.

As Li Xue walked inside the hall, every eye turned to look at her in awe. Not just because she was more beautiful than what the folks said but because she had something in her walk that made every eye turn to look at her. She was dressed in a peachy pink bodycon dress that had got the right stitches in the right places, accentuating her curves in a very decent way.

Her shaped shoulders were on show as it has gotten halter neck with a slit-ed off-shoulder design, while her legs were looking more longer with a pair of heels under her heels.

"Is she the girl we have heard about? The one that His and Her Highness is going to adopt?" A whisper arose and soon the talks began to go around.

"Yes, seems like it's her. But wait, does she have undergone some training? Look, the way she walks, it's nothing like a commoner. She looks like she has been trained to be like this."

"I heard that she has been a fashionista model in the fashion industry." The sourcᴇ of this content is novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ - ɴovᴇlbin

"Heh! What are you even talking about? How can a model's way of living be compared to a royal princess?"

"I agree. But her sense of etiquette is too obvious. She looks more like a princess now. Look at her dress, her sense of style is so matching to Her Highness. They particularly look like twinning."

"I fear her training could be someone's plot. After all, it's too much of a coincidence. Doesn't His and Her Highness feel the same? How could they think of adopting her at such an old age? What if the girl has some ill motives against the royals?"

As the people talked, Li Xue walked her way to reach deep inside the room where she saw her parents standing with her younger brother on their side. She heard all their talks and it would be wrong to say that for a moment she didn't feel the urge to snap back at them. But reigning her urge inside, she reassured herself that those perceptions of the people about her were just at this moment and soon it would change for the better.

She never cared about people's perceptions of her and she would never care in the future as well. But today was different. Her attitude here would represent her parents' and she couldn't dare to let her wrongs get reflected in their names.

So, pulling her lips in a great smile, she just focused her gaze on the smiling face of Chen Rui before walking her way to her. "Ma! Pa! I hope I have not gotten late." She said before reaching out to hold Chen Rui's hand, who reciprocated her words with a smile.

Shin Tingming's lips curled up as well in a small warmer smile as he shook his head to say. "Nope, you have come on time. The meeting has not officially started and there's still time in that."

Li Xue nodded to them politely before her gaze turned to look at the young boy staring at her. "It's only because You Jun has come on time, otherwise I may not have made it on time." She said, smiling at the boy.

Shin You Jun looked at Li Xue and smiled as well. But internally, he felt like growling. Only if these praises have come genuinely from his sister. How good would it have been then? But he knew well these were just for her parents to hear and relatives to see.

"You look good, dear." Chen Rui said. This was their first time dressing up together for an event as grand as this where they would finally declare the girl as their own daughter, the mother was both excited and anxious about this.

Li Xue understood her heart. So, smiling, she gently patted, assuring on the back of the hand she was holding. "It has come from you. It has to look good on me. Thank you." She said and the two ladies laughed softly among themselves, making the people around go crazy.

No one has ever gotten the guts to speak to the king and queen this freely. But just after a few seconds of appearing, this young woman has gotten so close to them as if she had been with them all these years. Who was she actually?

"Elder Sister, I needed to ask you this all this time. What were you actually talking to that good-for-nothing Su outside? Was it something serious?" After a moment of good talk with Chen Rui, Li Xue had just turned to look at You Jun when he suddenly asked her.

And at that moment, she thought only if she had not looked his way. This boy knows well how to spill the wrong beans at the wrong time.

Shin You Jun caught that expression of her and immediately asked, "What? Did I ask it wrong? I was just curious to know. If you don't want to tell, make it look like I never asked you in the first place."

Li Xue pursed her lips internally as she truly wanted to ask if that was even possible. Especially when he has particularly said it out loud in front of the two elders. How was she going to explain to them?

"Xiao Xue, you met Su Ce?" Chen Rui asked, her brows tugging slightly in a frown.

Li Xue looked her way and nodded. "Yes, I did. We met coincidentally outside. And I thought it was the best time and space to talk to him." She said honestly. Although at first, she didn't want to tell them about it. But now that they have already heard half of it from the glib tongue, it was only better if she speaks the rest of it to them as well.

Shin Tingming tried to read her expression as he asked, "Any special thing?"

Li Xue looked up at him and nodded. "Yes, it's something related to today. I have something planned. So, I tried to execute it on time. I don't know how well it would work later. But I assure you there would be no risk to the things you have planned."

Chen Rui and Shin Tingming exchanged a look among themselves before Chen Rui turned to smile at Li Xue. "It's okay, dear. You don't have to explain so much to us. We believe you and we know you would do the things that would be necessary."

She said and Li Xue smiled in appreciation. She had done her best, now she could just hope that things turn out as she had planned. After all, there was still not a hundred percent guarantee since she was not unaware of Su Ce's crafty nature. What if in her confidence, she has left a loophole for him to escape.
