Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

897 We weren't enemies ever.

Li Xue's eyes got a bit easy to read for Shin Tinming. He couldn't define the reason that made it easy for him but soon, he interrupted the air with his authority. "We had enough talk here. It's already time for dinner. Let's not break dining rules." He said as his eyes traveled from Feng Shufen to look at Li Xue with some understanding before turning to look at his wife.

Chen Rui nodded to his words and sent a smile to Li Xue, before looking for a maid to order. "Go, and check where the Crown Prince has gone with Li Wei. Ask him to come soon for the dinner." She asked and the maid nodded before bowing and leaving at once.

Soon everyone was sitting at the dining table having their fill of night meal. But only one person amid everyone was looking like a lost puppy. Shin You Jun looked so dumbfounded at the place that even the strictest person whose passion might just be to bully people would feel pity for him.

His eyes were alternately staring between Li Xue, Feng Shufen, and the little girl. No doubt, at the moment they looked like a family of three. But seeing them like that wasn't his plan. Why does everything seem going just the opposite of his plans?

Shouldn't there be war already? Why were they still having such a relaxed dinner with everybody? Especially with Feng Shufen on the same table?

If it would have looked good to scratch his hair at the moment, then he would done it all desperately. But matching the title of the Crown Prince, that wouldn't have looked good on him. So, he held the urge inside.

"Ma, what is going on here? You are allowing this, Feng Shufen, to have dinner with us like this? Aren't we enemies?" Not able to take the calmness anymore, Shin You Jun asked his mother, leaning near her ears.

Chen Rui heard him say that and frowned. Her eyes for a moment went to stare at Feng Shufen who was helping the little girl slice the meat, before putting some fried broccoli on Li Xue's bowl of rice. "What do you mean by that, You Jun? He is your Brother-in-law now. Did you forget you, yourself, have called him that earlier? How did he become our enemy then?"

"That … I was just …" The young Crown Prince was rendered wordless. Of course, he has called Feng Shufen his Brother-in-law earlier, but that was just to trap Li Xue. He never knew that instead of trapping her, he would be getting trapped in their sweet PDA like this. "Ma, I didn't mean that. I am just asking, what happened so suddenly? Weren't we enemies before?"

"Enemies? What do you know? We weren't enemies ever. You were too young at the time when things got messed between us, so instead of believing rumors going around, focus on understanding the story." Chen Rui said in a stricter tone while giving a glare to her son that instantly put him in the silence.

Though he got silent, Shin You Jun was still confused. Have never been an enemy? How was that possible?

Yes, he accepts that when things have taken place twelve years back, he was just nine years old and very young to understand the stories of the adult. Yet he could never forget the sight of the young, cold heir of Feng Internationals coming to attack the palace with all his might. He could never forget seeing him getting inside the palace with half of the army and military tankers. He could never forget the chill he felt down his spine witnessing all that.

How could he not remember him to be the enemy? If not an enemy, who else does try with all their might to assassinate someone.

The things were out of the league of his understanding. But what he heard from his mother was right actually. Maybe he was still unknown to the story. But knowing the story was not something he wanted at the moment.

Shin You Jun shook his head internally. Definitely not. His plan was to see Li Xue getting the tough time same as he gets from his parents whenever she is around. Yet seems like his plan had never been right? Or maybe this woman was the witch who didn't even spare the cold President, who has never had any record of batting an eye at any woman.

Soon the dinner got over in silence, maintaining the dignity of the royal table. Little Li Wei has also maintained all her learned manners well and completed her plate on her own, while to her side Feng Shufen and Li Xue also wiped their hands and lips.

"Thank you for the dinner. We loved it." Getting away from the dinner table, Li Xue gratefully said to the queen while Feng Shufen and the little one stood there with her. It was already time for them to leave and the little pair of eyes of Li Wei was also growing heavy with sleep. But she was holding it well inside.

Chen Rui smiled. "If that was really something you loved, then be frequent here like this. I would love to see you, my daughter coming in the palace and spending time with me like today."

Li Xue nodded. "Umm … I will try to be frequent but I fear that might interrupt your work." She said, keeping in mind that for the whole time she was here, the lady has never left her side and remained to talk to her with her heart out.

"It would never. I am quite efficient with work. And if ever I lag, then too, I don't care as I know your father will be there to help me out. Because we can't foget he loves and spoils me the most." Chen Rui said, denying out in hurry. Maybe without realizing the chosen words on her own.

Li Xue's brows wrinkled as she asked with some confusion, "Father?" While Feng Shufen also turned to look at the lady with some interest.
