Chapter 1067 – Keep It For Your Future Girl.
"Madam, have this concoction. This will stimulate the red blood cells to create collagen. It will help in healing your wound in a fast and better way." Sister Margaret said as she extended a bowl of herbal mixture to the lady.
Li Xue was still in her thoughts, thinking about Shufen's words when heard the old woman. Her expression turned of confusion at first, but when saw the bowl of medicine, she realized, "Ohh." She affirmed before asking, "This is a bit different. Sister Margaret, you know to prepare this as well?"
The old lady Margaret blushed slightly before shaking her head in denial. "No, no, Madam. I have just brewed the ingredients together. Young Master has asked Gao Fan to go and get it from a traditional doctor, living in the southeast village on the outskirts of the city." She said and Li Xue nodded before downing all of it in one go.
As expected, the taste was bitter; like any other traditional medicine. "Aye I am sure after tasting this bitterness, I would definitely get well soon. By the way, Sister Margaret, do you think this Shufen did it purposely. I mean giving this bitter punishment to me for not taking care of myself properly?" She said chuckling out but at her words, Sister Margaret's expression turned serious.
"What happened, Sister Margaret? Did I say something wrong?" She asked, noticing the change in the expression of the lady.
"Madam, it's good enough that you are safe otherwise I couldn't dare to imagine what would have happened?" Sister Margaret began. "Yesterday, when Young Master was informed about you, I was not at home. But the maids here have said to me that they were scared to see him at that time. If it wasn't for little young miss by his side, he may have already ruined the royals before going to take you from there." She said and her heavy aged voice did justice to her expression and description.
Li Xue paused. Though she was aware of the man's such side, she never thought that just one injury on her would easily be capable to bring it out of him. There was nothing to smile in that, but unknowing her lips slightly curled up on the corners to ask. "Really, Sister Margaret? Was it that serious?"
Without any hesitation, the old woman nodded, still in a serious expression. "Yes, madam. Young Master care for you and young miss a lot. That's why when he heard that you were injured, he lost his control. But when saw little young miss on his side, he went back in her composure to not scare her."
She said and Li Xue couldn't doubt those words. She knew Feng Shufen loved her and WeiWei very much. But what surprised her every time was the way he balances that great love of his between her and the little one. Was any man even capable to do it that easily? Providing love to two girls with equal sincerity.
Li Xue shook her head. "Nope, except him, I never met a man that could do it like that." She said and Sister Margaret's brows tugged together.
"Madam, did you say something?" The old woman asked, not understanding the context of the previous words.
Li Xue smiled at her in nothingness to say, "Nothing, Sister Margaret. I was just thinking about how Shufen handle his love for me and WeiWei so well. Especially with WeiWei, who he just met almost a year back."
The old lady smiled as if she didn't find it too difficult to answer. "Madam, that's not as hard as you think. Men have got their way to show their love to their wives and children. Loving one more doesn't mean they love the other less. When needed he would be there for both of them." She said and those words struck something in the memories of Li Xue, bringing it back to her thoughts.
Was that really how fathers are?
Li Xue remembered how earlier Shin Tingming stood for her saying that she was his daughter. More or less, she felt the same. Maybe that was the feeling of security that daughters usually experience with their father. She thought internally when realized what she was thinking about.
Shaking her head in rejection, she gave a good smile to the old lady to say, "I understand it now, Sister Margaret. I will go and check on WeiWei now. You can also continue with your work." She said and the old lady nodded before leaving, giving an obedient nod.
Once she left, Li Xue stood up to walk out to reach WeiWei's room as well. But suddenly she paused in her steps to think about something. Turning back, she reached out her phone to dial someone's number.
After a few rings, the call was connected as an arrogant voice came through laced with hidden concern. "My dear Elder Sister is calling me for the first time. Did you put your injured efforts to hunt down my number at this crucial moment?" He asked and Li Xue could only purse her lips at his words before shaking her head at him.
"That's wasn't enough to make me laugh, little boy. Try out something better next time, okay?" She said and almost heard the snort of the boy on the other side.
"Great! If that wasn't enough to make you laugh, then why did you call me? Don't you know I am busy?"
Li Xue didn't mind his bantering, instead asked in a very straightforward way. "Where are you now?"
Shin You Jun felt a bit odd on the other side of the call. But taking her question simple, he asked back, full-on with attitude. "Why? Do you want to send your spies to me?"
"…" Li Xue didn't answer and understanding her silence, the boy himself conceded to say.
"Fine. I won't be disrespectful, otherwise, you would run to complain it to Ma and Pa. And then they would chide me to death for troubling you. I am at my university. What happened? Do you need me for something?" Shin You Jun asked and at his such agreeing behavior, Li Xue hummed.
"Mhm. Do me a favor and later once, I will help you when you need." She said and at her offer, the boy was enticed.
Humming, he didn't take long to agree. "Don't forget your promise later then. One thing that I ever ask you, you have to do."
Li Xue agreed. "Done! But for that, you have to help me out in something."
"Haha … of course, you have come to ask me for the first time. How can I not help my dear sister out? Tell me. What do you need? Any limited-edition handbag or jewelry?" He asked, remembering what his friend's sisters usually ask their brothers.
Li Xue wasn't surprised to hear him guess that. But who said that he was right in that? Her one favor wouldn't have such simple value. "Little Brother, keep those limited-edition things for your future girl. As for me, just become the informer. Keep me updated with the things going around in the royal family." She said and heard the boy almost scream on the other side.
"Are you crazy?"
