It has been more than a month since Chen Rui has looked so happy. The expression of happiness that she held on her expressions was unexplainable. But then the reason behind it explains the level of it. After all, after heavy darkness finally there seed a source of light coming back.
"Did you hear that, Tingming? They said Xiao Xue had been seen driving towards the palace. That ans she must be coming here. After all, except for the palace there couldn't be any destination this way. Right?" Feeling all overwheld, Chen Rui at once walked to the side of her husband to reconfirm her happiness. Her eyes showing her contentnt with hints of tears of joy.
When Shin Tingming saw her like that, he didn't know how he should respond to her. He was equally happy but when have the n been good at expressing their right emotions. Nodding to Rui, Shin Tingming said, "Rui, we should go and see. If she is really coming here, she must be reaching anyti."
He said and Chen Rui couldn't wait any longer. "You are right. She is coming back ho after so long. I need to prepare a lot." Saying that she turned and looked at the butler. "Mr. Cao, why are you still standing here? There is so much to do. Co on, let's go."
The old butler nodded and soon he followed the royal lady out of the study. Behind, Shin Tingming also wrapped everything up and left the room.

After driving the whole way, Gao Fan drove inside the royal premise. Stopping the car in front of the entrance, he got down to open the door for Li Xue. "Madam, we are here." He inford subtly, waking Li Xue up from her short nap.
Fluttering her eyes open, Li Xue blinked her eyes to look and as said, they were already there. "Oh, we are already here. Thank you, Mr. Secretary. I will go from here. You can return from here." She said and then stepped out of the car.
Gao Fan was about to say sothing but before he could a row of maids and servants ca interrupting him. When he turned to check what the intention of the people was, he saw the row was led by no other but the royal butler of the palace.
"Young Princess!" Mr. Cao bowed his head in respect as he ca to stand in front of Li Xue.
Li Xue's lips curled up in a smile and she greeted back. "Good evening, Mr. Butler." Then her eyes darted to look at the row of people and her brows wrinkled slightly. "This ..."
The old butler looked back at the people and smiled with politeness, "There are here to welco their princess, Young Miss. It's part of their duty. Please let them do it." He said and with that explained, Li Xue couldn't say more.
She nodded and then turned to look at each and every one of them with a smile. Looking back at Gao Fan, she repeated, "Mr. Secretary, as you can see, people are here to look after . You can return back to your work."
Gao Fan nodded and bowed his head before getting back inside the car to leave. While Li Xue walked inside the palace with Mr. Cao and the rest of the others following behind.
A maid ca first with a glass of water but instead of taking it, Li Xue looked around and asked, "The place looked empty. Is there no one around?"
Butler Cao would have given the reply but before he could Chen Rui's voice answered it. "How can there be no one to welco my precious daughter? This mother cannot bear to miss the chance."
Li Xue turned to look at the lady whose eyes held the glimr of tears. At this mont the cruel words that she had said to her on their last eting ca back to her mory, making her feel guilty in her heart. Even though she was upset and said what she felt was right, she should still be mindful of her words.
Even though the approach of her parents was wrong, she should not have forgotten that whatever they did was for her. Their concern and care were for her.
She knew that her words must have hurt their sentints, but now except for crying over the spilled milk and apologizing for her mistakes, she couldn't do anything else.
Chen Rui looked at Li Xue staring at her. She wanted to envelope her in a dear hug but seeing the girl standing there like that, she wasn't sure if she really should take the initiative. After all, they really did wrong for being selfish in their love.
Rembering their mistake, Chen Rui turned to look at Shin Tingming and then turned back to look at Li Xue. "Are you still upset with us, Xiao Xue? I know we did wrong but believe , at that mont, we wanted nothing but your well-being. And in that selfish want, we forgot to see the basic right and wrong. We ..."
Before she could complete it, Li Xue rushed to walk to Chen Rui before wrapping her arms around her. "I am sorry, Ma. I shouldn't have blad you. I should have taken a mont to understand your stance. I am sorry."
Chen Rui was taken aback. While her arms held Li Xue comfortably, her eyes stared at her husband, unable to understand the turn of the situation.
Shin Tingming nodded to her in understanding. To which Chen Rui reciprocated while cajoling the girl in her arms. "You shouldn't be sorry, dear. You weren't wrong. What we did to Shufen and WeiWei was wrong. As for you getting mad at us, that was right. You weren't wrong to do that."
Li Xue lips curled up in a small smile. But before she could enjoy or accept that forgiveness, a voice holding hints of animosity interrupted them, pausing everyone.
"Who said she wasn't wrong to do that?"
