Chapter 1018 – For The Sake Of Ma.
Zhang Xiaotong looked at Shin You Jun and couldn't help but be amused. Although she knew the brand of royals was something none could surpass, not even Fengs, still she couldn't believe the young prince could come ahead like this to warn her.
There must be some miscommunication. Otherwise, she doesn't remember anything that he was mentioning.
"I am sorry, Mr. Shin but I think you have failed to recognize me. I am Zhang Xiaotong from Zhang family." Zhang Xiaotong started but before she could introduce herself well, the attitude of disinterest surfaced over the demeanor of Shin You Jun.
Though he didn't interrupt her, his expressions were telling that he might not be hearing what she was even saying. So only when her words took a full stop, he started, "Sorry, I have not heard my mother ever mention anything about any Zhang family. Seems like having the Zhang family in my knowledge wasn't important. Anyway, even if you are Ms. Zhang, I don't think that could save you from the penalty of spreading rumors. So please be mindful from the next time."
He said and his words came out quite firm and resolute like the adults. Li Xue looked at him like that and was proud, but she also wanted to pull his ears. Was this the etiquette he should follow? And did he really have to mess with the name of mother amidst his play? This boy really needs some beatings. But in front of someone else, she can't make him lose face, especially when she knew that he was standing on her side.
Seeing him like that Zhang Xiaotong felt embarrassed. Turning to Feng Shufen, she expected him to take her stand but seeing him all calm and serious, she knew that wouldn't be happening anytime soon. Especially until this woman would be in the picture. She would have to make time and opportunity to meet him alone or a place where he would be willing to hear her.
Her fists clenched on the side as downing her gaze, she quickly said, "I remember I have something important to see. I will take the leave first." She said before taking her steps back to leave. But that was not before she gave a long look to the little girl who was standing there holding the hands of Feng Shufen with all right.
Little Li Wei as well looked. Her gaze was so innocent and soft that it could easily melt anyone's heart. But to Zhang Xiaotong, it only hardened it to the point of turning her all cold.
"Daddy Angel, who was she?" Not understanding the cold gaze like that, WeiWei asked turning her head up to look at Feng Shufen.
Seeing her strain her neck like that, Feng Shufen picked her up in the arms to ask, "Did you enjoy your ride? Want to try something else?"
WeiWei at once nodded her head, forgetting the question she asked before. "Yes, yes, Daddy Angel. From the merry-go-round, I have seen a stall of unicorn color cotton candy on the other side of the park. WeiWei wants to taste that." She said before licking her lips in anticipation.
Feng Shufen's gaze turned to look other side and nodded, "Fine, we will go and get it there then." He said before looking at Li Xue.
Li Xue nodded but then reminded the little head. "You can have the cotton candy sweetie, but remember to not have it too much. Okay?"
Little Li Wei nodded. "Okay Mama, but WeiWei has not eaten any sweets for two days. So today, she can have it a little extra, right Daddy Angel?" And Li Xue couldn't say more. This girl was learning well to hide her cards and then use them at right time.
Soon with Feng Shufen, the little girl walked away and Li Xue turned to look at the young prince who has shown his adult tactics moments ago. He was there standing with his hands tucked inside his jacket and eyes avoiding to look at Li Xue.
"Fine. Even if I was wrong, you don't always have to scold me." He said like a sulking kid to which Li Xue could purse her lips.
"So, you know that I want to scold you?"
"Isn't that what you always do? What's new in that?"
"Haha really? Do you give me any better option with your attitude?"
Shin You Jun was immediately offended. Turning to look at her, he retorted for pushing the blame on him, "What do you mean by my attitude? Being my Elder sister, shouldn't you pamper me more?"
Li Xue's brows got raised. With some hinted amusement, she said, "What? Isn't the mighty Crown Prince getting too much focused on our brother-sister relationship? Have you always been waiting for me to become your elder sister?"
"Heh!" Shin You Jun felt himself losing, so turning somewhere else, he shrugged, "W-Who wanted you as a sister. I just don't want to hear my mother scolding me for not protecting you well. So, for her, I am willing to accept you."
He said and Li Xue bent a little to look at his face properly. "Really?" The hidden panic expression on the boy's face was all evident. He was anxious that she would look through his lie but Li Xue has long done that. "If that's so, then I think there is no need to thank you for helping me out. Sigh, I thought to thank you uselessly."
"You wanted to thank me? Like really saying thank you to me?" Shin You Jun was excited. After always hearing her scolds and taunts, he really wanted to see how her gratitude sounded.
Li Xue nodded with a lack of interest. "It's not needed now, I think."
"Who said? Of course, it's needed. Quickly, say thank you to me. I am all ears."
Li Xue looked at him suppressing a chuckle. "But didn't you say that you are just doing it for the sake of Ma?"
Shaking his head, the boy instantly denied it. "No, no, I have always wanted to have a beautiful and intelligent sister like you. Now quickly show your gratitude. This young brother is waiting for it.." He said and at his acceptance like that, Li Xue finally let go of her laughter.
