Chapter 891 - His Highness Would Be Left All Broke.
"It\'s already getting dark. Let\'s go inside and sit." Shin Tinming said, looking at his wife with some meaning. Chen Rui nodded to him before turning to give a soft smile to Li Xue and everyone.
"Yes, it\'s growing dark outside. It\'s time to get in." She said, before getting to hold Little Li Wei\'s hands. "And you, little one! Come with me. I have asked someone to prepare some sweets for you. Taste it for me and let me know how it is? I have heard from your mother that you have got a good taste in sweet dishes".
Little Li Wei smiled before turning to look at her mother. "Yes, WeiWei very much likes sweet dishes. But Mama says we shouldn\'t eat too many sweets so WeiWei always follows her words and would eat less.. And even today if you ask me to eat more, I could only taste it and not have it wholly. Right, Mama?"
Li Xue squinted her eyes at the little girl. Being her mother, of course, she knew what play her little one was playing with her. Not only she, others around as well could understand. That\'s why when they heard her saying things like that, Chen Rui and Shin Tinming were not able to control their chuckle.
And before Li Xue could say anything, Chen Rui allied with the little girl in her favor. Suppressing her chuckle within, she said, "Your Mama is not wrong to say that, dear. But some days are an exception, like today. Today, you came to visit us for the first time, we would not feel good if you leave without having them well. Moreover, I have especially asked the chefs to prepare it for you. Seeing you not having them wholly will make me sad. Do you want to see your Lǎolao upset?"
"Lǎolao?" Little Li Wei blinked her eyes with confusion, before turning to look up at her mother. And, Li Xue was not surprised to hear the lady say that. Since she could accept her as a daughter, it was only normal to take her little to be her granddaughter.
Chen Rui smiled. She liked the voice of the little girl calling her Lǎolao. It was so sweet and melodic. "Yes, what do you think I am to you then? Your Mama calls me Ma. So that makes you my most dearest granddaughter. And granddaughter calls their grandma as Lǎolao, isn\'t it?"
She said and the little girl pondered over it. Giving some thought, and remembering her mother really calling the lady as Ma, she nodded. "Lǎolao!" She called and then getting a step near to the lady she asked again, "Are you really WeiWei\'s Lǎolao?"
Chen Rui felt so happy inside. Just looking in her shining eyes one could tell that. Her smile grew the biggest as she nodded. "Of course, I am little WeiWei\'s only Lǎolao. What do you think? Am I not deserving?" She said before bending a little to gently pinch her cheeks
Li Wei shook her head before moving her hands to cup the lady\'s cheeks. "Most deserving! My Lǎolao is so pretty. Prettiest Lǎolao in the world." She said, smiling with genuineness. But then her eyes turned to look at the man with the furrowed brows of doubtfulness.
Though Chen Rui has not spent much time with the little one, at the moment she could read her expression very well. Smiling, she said, "If I am your Lǎolao then you don\'t have to think so much before calling him as your Lǎoyé."
The little girl heard her but then shook her head, "But Mama didn\'t call him Daddy."
"Dear, some relations don\'t need to be proved. They exist the way they are. And the relation between your mother and your Lǎoyé is something the same." Chen Rui said and her words stunned the two people the most.
Shin Tinming\'s pupils dilated with some fear as he turned to look at his wife who was smiling looking at the little kid. "R …" He wanted to say something but at the moment nothing suiting the situation was hitting his thoughts. Did she know everything? The question was horrifying and in no way he was able to guess the answer.
Li Xue was also confused. Her eyes went to look at Chen Rui as well but it also slightly caught the expression on the king\'s face. But before she could look at him for more, she heard Chen Rui add more of her words with a soft chuckle that explained all her previous words easily.
"Since she calls me her Ma, except him none other could be her father. Or else, Li Xue have you planned to marry me to someone else?" Chen Rui punned and at her askance, Li Xue immediately shook her head. She would never dare to think something like that. Of course, she knew how much the couple were in love with each other.
To which, the lady added more with soft melodic laughter. "Haha … you better not, sweetie. Otherwise, His Highness would be left all broke without any palace and region to rule. We couldn\'t forget that he has signed an elite marriage certificate with me. Right, Tinming?" She said as she turned to look at her husband.
The man\'s expressions remained tough and a bit confused. He smiled and nodded to the words of his wife, but he kept his eyes all still on her face, trying his best to read the things he felt she was hiding from her. But before he could guess, Chen Rui already turned her face to look back at Li Wei.
"So do you get the things now, dear?"
Little Li Wei nodded then turned to look at the man to call all softly. "Lǎoyé!" And with her tone, anyone could sense her slight hesitation.
At that call, Shin Tinming forgot what he was thinking before. His eyes stared at the little one and nodded with a hum. That feeling was new that his heart was feeling for the first time and it also gave him an urge to hear someone call him Father.
His eyes turned to look at Li Xue with some plead but he knew no plea would be able to work in his case. Cause he would simply not be able to let her know anything regarding it. He shook his head as a soft smile got over his lips. He turned back to the little one and bending a little to her height, he patted. "Lǎoyé really liked hearing you call that."
Chen Rui smiled as well. Her hands also went to pat her head while giving a light glance to her husband beside her. "You still need practice, but I am sure you would get better with time. For now, let\'s go in and taste the sweets and wait for the dinner to get ready." She said before taking the little girl\'s hands in hers and walking away with her. "Let me know if you like something special for your dinner. We will let the royal chefs cook it for you."
Shin Tinming also followed from behind. While Li Xue remained behind looking at the walk away. She was feeling content in her heart. Her eyes were a little wet seeing her daughter finally having a Lǎoyé and Lǎolao. After having a broken relationship with the family, she never thought she would ever be able to provide for her.
But it seems like everyone has their own destiny. Her princess was bound to have everything and everyone in her life, so she was having all of them today.
