Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

He said and Li Xue turned to look at him, getting all amused at his choice of words. "Cruel? I thought you would call me kind instead." She said and Shin You Jun tugged his brows in confusion at her. To which she further added, "Mhm … after all, didn\'t you want me to accept her request?" She said and then turned back to walk inside.

While behind, Shin You Jun stood all confused at her words. In confusion, he pointed his finger at himself and asked, "Me? When did I ask you to accept her request? I was just …" Before he could say more, Li Xue turned to raise her brows at him, meaningfully reminding him when actually he asked her to accept the little one\'s request. And once she saw that he had realized, she turned back to resume her walk.

Shin You Jun\'s remaining words got stuck in his throat. Coughing, he corrected to say before running inside to catch up with her, "Ah, it wasn\'t like that. I was just showing the mutual pain that WeiWei and I share in common."

"Is that so? Since you shared her pain earlier, now celebrate together as well." Li Xue spoke, her words full of sarcasm that hit the boy hard.

"Hey! I wanted her to rest. I am her uncle. Why would I send her when I know already that she is not well?" He said, suddenly pausing his steps. His heart was hurting.

Li Xue inhaled when felt him stopping in the middle. Then turning around, she walked back to pat his shoulders. "Fine, fine, don\'t think more about it now. She would be good. Don\'t worry. Furthermore, she has good friends. They would take care of her. And also, you were right to ask me to accept her request as not every time, I can keep her clung to me. She should know to make her decisions on her own."

She said and her words had a logic. It would only be good if children are taught to make the right decision from a very young age so that they gain enough experience in it when they grow up.

Shin You Jun blinked at her before smiling to his fullest to add, "I knew it. I can\'t be wrong." He said getting all smug-faced the very instant.

Li Xue couldn\'t be bothered by him anymore. So, shaking her head, she turned to walk again.

Since Shin You Jun was also satisfied, he didn\'t drag that one topic. Instead, letting that off, he suddenly asked, "Now that little kids are gone, Elder Sister, can we go back to the story that you wanted to tell me early in the morning?"

Li Xue paused in her steps suddenly. But then again, she chuckled, "I can still see one kid wandering around me. Are you sure that all little kids are gone?" She spoke.

"…" Shin You Jun didn\'t understand at first. He looked around to see if there was someone around but when he saw that he was alone with her, he understood what Li Xue was intending to say. "Hey! I am no longer a kid. What do you mean? You better not go back on your words now. You said you would tell me."

He said and Li Xue went to the dining table to get herself a glass of water. Drinking it slowly, gulp by gulp, she spoke, "Did I say that I am not going to tell you? Don\'t assume things on your own."

"So, you mean to say that you would tell me now?"

Li Xue finished her water and nodded. "Yep, I would but before that, you need to promise me something." She said and You Jun frowned at her condition.

"Why should I promise you anything? There weren\'t any conditions when you said that you would tell me the things. Then why are you bringing this up?"

Li Xue shrugged her shoulders. "Fine, you don\'t have to promise if you don\'t want to. And I won\'t tell you because I don\'t want to. That\'s the perfect deal." She said and turned back intending to walk in the direction of the stairs but before she could go far, the boy said hurriedly, pausing her in her steps.

"Okay. What promise are you asking me to make?" He said and Li Xue turned to say immediately.

"Whatever I say you now. Don\'t make a big fuss out of it and don\'t let any of this reach the ears of Ma and Pa. Did you get it?"

She spoke and Shin You Jun stared at her with some skepticism. But when he found her firm in her stance, he nodded considering it well. "Fine, I promise to not say a word to anyone. Now, will you tell me what it is about? And who is scaring you?"

He said and for a moment, Li Xue wanted to laugh. This boy was too much. To satisfy himself, he was deliberately making himself sound like the older brother to whom the little sister had run crying her heart out in horror.

"Who is scared, little boy? I just don\'t want to create a fuss out of it when now, the royal meet is about to happen. And our parents need the best out of us." She said and the boy became desperate.

"Okay fine, I won\'t create any fuss out of your words. But now, could you please tell me, what is it all about and what is actually happening around?"

He spoke and Li Xue stared at him before finally revealing, "Li Na was only the pawn behind the accident that I had. It was someone else behind her.. Someone that\'s after me."
