Chapter 892 - Young Madam, Haven't You Overestimated This Weakling's Skill?

Li Xue remained standing at her place as her eyes contently looked at her daughter leaving, holding the hands of the queen. Looking at them really gave her the feel of the family that she never was sure to have for real in her life. Until she met the queen, she didn't know the feeling of warmth that a mother provides to her child. 

But now, after meeting her, it was a lot better. Maybe the way the queen treats her was not the best in the world, still to her it was heaven better than what she got treated by her own mother. The shield of her care and love was all evident whenever she was near her. And not to forget she could see how she easily gets favored over the Crown Prince. 

Realizing all that, Li Xue couldn't help her lips from getting curled. But amidst all that, she almost forgot the most important thing. 

"Elder Sister. You look quite emotional. For a moment, I see you smiling but at the very other moment, you look like you would cry any other minute.. Are you alright?" Shin You Jun said from the side, whispering near the ears of Li Xue. 

And it was then Li Xue remembered the most important topic that she forgot amongst everything. Turning to look at him directly, she asked in a stricter and firmer tone. "What are you planning on?" Her arms getting folded over her chest to bring on her authoritative side back on the front. 

"Wohooo!" Shin You Jun stepped behind, breaking into a chuckle. "I got scared, Elder Sister. But do you have to be this strict with me? I mean who gets so strict with such a cute brother like me?" 

"You …"

"Really, Elder Sister, I am planning no bad for you. I am just continuing the game you started. You won three streaks in a row, give me also a chance at least. Aren't elders let their younger ones win at times?" Shin You Jun said, holding cuteness on his face by blinking his eyes with playfulness in his tone. 

And seeing him like that Li Xue didn't know how she should deal with him. Her strict facial features eased as her eyes stared simply at the young man. With his such actions, she has really started to feel him like a young troublesome brother that she never had. 

Pinching the space between her brows, she closed her eyes. "Dearest li'l brother, in your play you have called your brother-in-law here. Don't you already know how busy his work schedule is?" She said, trying her best to sound like a sweet sister to tease the young brat. She knew her words sweet like this would definitely prick his nerves. 

And as expected, the confident nonchalance attitude of the boy cracked the very moment he heard her call him like that. His fingers curled up into a ball at his sides as gritting his teeth, he suppressed his irritation. "Dearest li'l brother, my ass! Dare to call me that again!" 

Li Xue smiled. "What? Dearest Li'l Brother? That's easy to say. You want to hear that again?" 

"You …" Shin You was at his edge. Just a blow more and he was ready to blow up like a pressure cooker. "You just wait. Let me see if you remain the same audacious when your so-called Devil husband arrives. Let him as well see how well you are mingling with the people whom he considered as his enemies. That time I will love to see the play of you two." He threatened grumpily before dashing inside the palace, stomping his feet like a child.

Behind Li Xue could just shake her head. Half of his threat went over her head, disabling her from understanding what his plan was actually about, but still, there was one thing in between his words that she understood very well. She was really getting along well with the people who are not in the friend book of her husband. 

Was she doing something she should not do?

Li Xue shook her head before urgently pulling out her phone to make a call. Dialing the number of Feng Shufen, she waited for him to receive the call but he never received it. She tried once…twice and even thrice. But no response was the only response she got. 

"What's with him now? Is the phone not with him?" She questioned herself, staring at her phone screen. And staring at it like that she was about to call for the fourth time as well, but right at that moment, a maid came to call her from inside. 

"Ms. Li Xue!" 

On the call, Li Xue turned to look at her only to hear her add. "Her Highness is asking you inside." 

Li Xue nodded. "Oh, yes, give me a moment. I will be there. Let me take my bag first." She said before getting her handbag from the couch to leave along. Since Mr. Beelzebub is not picking up her calls, there was nothing else she could do. Rather could just flow with the flow. 

Wait, was there someone she could ask help from?

Her eyes glittered with one name as her fingers quickly worked to drop the message before walking inside the palace as well. 

*** 

At the same time, outside, Du Fan was waiting in the car when suddenly his phone beeped with a message tone. Thinking of it to be from Li Xue, he didn't delay checking it the very moment it entered. 

But the moment his eyes read the message, he didn't know how he should be reacting to it. 

[Young Madam: "Mr. Driver, when your Young Master comes to pick me up, just hold him outside and drop me the message. Save the situation. Now it is in your hands."]

His brows furrowed and the first question that left his lips was – Was there a war coming?

But then he shook his head to that thought. No, no how can that be? Young Master would never come here. He comforted himself by saying that before reading the message again to confirm. But no matter how many times he read, the comprehension of it was the same. 

Hold him out and save the situation? Was he even capable of doing that? Young Madam, haven't you too much overestimated this weakling's skills?
