Chapter 1169 Will learn the best from you

After wandering almost, the whole morning around Li Xue, finally, Shin You Jun was ready to leave in the afternoon. "Okay, fine, I will leave now. But you had better close the doors properly at night. Don't get scared alone. If you feel scared, just give me a call. I will come here to protect you." He said and Li Xue pursed her lips at him.

"There would arrive no such need. Go home and enjoy." She said, pressing a smile over her lips. Stuffing the backpack in his hands before gesturing him to leave first.

Shin You Jun pressed his lips in a thin line as his understanding doesn't fail to notice the intention of getting rid of him in Li Xue's eyes. Pouting his lips out slightly, he complained to say, "Only if you had not been the elder sister but a younger one, you would have behaved kindly to me. But sigh, elders are always cruel, breaking youngsters' hearts like breaking porcelain crockeries. Fine, if you don't want to see me around, I will leave. I will not show my face to you until …"

"Until I call you back. Right?" Li Xue guessed, already guessing his childishness. To which, the boy squinted his eyes before pursing his lips with some strictness. But even strictly, he was looking no better than the kid who was ready to leave the house after his parents had scolded him for his wrong.

"It won't be simple like that. I will not be coming on your call. Now I will come on my own, whenever I like, not when you want me." He said and Li Xue just stared at him, feeling that the full stop put at the end of the sentence wasn't the end yet, rather the boy would bring something more. And she wasn't wrong to think that since just after he paused, he added more. "And I want to come at night. To spend some more time with WeiWei."

He said and Li Xue almost felt like slamming her head on the wall. This boy was simply too much.

"Fine, fine, I won't say more. Do whatever you like. But for now, return to the palace first. Ma has called earlier and has asked you to be there. And you are getting late." She said and right at that moment, her phone rang again.

She looked at the caller id and showed it waving to Shin You Jun. Seeing Chen Rui's name displaying over the screen, the boy quickly asked Li Xue to save him while showing that he was ready to leave.

Li Xue shook her head internally at his attitude before she picked the call to answer, putting it on speaker. "Ma, You Jun has already left from here. He might take some time to reach the palace but soon he would be there. Don't worry."

"Aye, why do I worry for that, dear. I worry that last night and this morning, how much he would have tortured you." Chen Rui said and hearing his mother saying that, Shin You Jun almost felt his heartbreak a thousand times.

Li Xue chuckled at his state while he was ready to accuse his mother of siding with her daughter. But at the right time, Li Xue glared, holding him back. "Leave before you get late. Don't forget that I have told her that you have already left." She whispered in a voice that didn't get audible on the call.

Shin You Jun pursed his lips, looking at Li Xue with an accusing gaze as well. "You both are ruthless. I am not going to forgive any of you now. I am leaving. Goodbye." He whispered and then left, turning away.

Li Xue smiled looking at his back. It was fun to tease him.

"Ma, he wasn't a bother. Instead, I enjoyed his company very much. It was good to have him around." She said and, on the call, Chen Rui laughed.

"Haha … that was nice to hear, dear. Also, I am happy that finally with all truths and no lies, you guys are finally getting along well. As parents, we want nothing but seeing you two supporting each other."

Chen Rui said and Li Xue felt the genuineness in her words. "I will always be that for him Ma and now, I am also confident that he would be there with me as well. Though his ways would be a bit silly and childish, it would be his efforts that would matter in the end. So, it would be okay, hopefully."

"Haha!" Chen Rui laughed. "For that, I doubt as well. We would need to teach him nicely. Help me then."

"Sure!" Li Xue didn't hesitate and her instant acceptance like that brought joy to her mother's heart. If it had been before then maybe Li Xue wouldn't have been this spontaneous. But it was a relief that the revelation of truth didn't spoil things but has improved them.

"Xiao Xue, dear, tomorrow, be on time. I will be waiting for you. The royal meeting is this weekend and we all need to be prepared for it. Be it in our plan or our attire, we have to come out in a way that no one can grow suspicious of us." Chen Rui reminded and Li Xue hummed to it.

"Ma, that plan …"

"You don't have to care about the plan as your father will be looking after it. We just have to care about our attire and attitude and for that, I have already told you to accompany me. It will also be taken care of." Before Li Xue could say more, Chen Rui interrupted her.

Li Xue had no choice, nor did she want to reject her mother. So, agreeing, she said. "I will be there before time, Ma. Don't worry. I will learn the best from you." She said, and Chen Rui believed all willingly.

"I never doubt that, darling. After all, you are my daughter. You will be the best in all ways." She said before disconnecting the call.
