Although she never shared any obligation for Liu Hua, still thinking how well Chen Rui has treated her all these days made her feel ashamed in front of her. Did the lady never mind that she is the daughter of the woman who once tried to ruin her relationship with her husband?

Dwelling in her own thoughts, she didn\'t realize when her fingers moved on their own to drag the answering icon of the call. The realization only hit her when after a while she heard the voice of the woman coming from the phone.

"Hello, Xiao Xue! Are you there on the call? Hello?"

Li Xue was snapped out from her thoughts at her concerned voice. Immediately holding up the phone to her ears, she greeted in a bit of a hurried tone that could easily tell that she wasn\'t ready for the call and receiving it was a mistake. "Hello, Ma. I am sorry, I didn\'t intend to keep you on hold. It was just a mistake."

She said and on the other hand, Chen Rui chuckled out at her anxiousness. "It\'s okay, dear. I just called to ask you about your health. How are you now?"

"I am fine and the wound is recovering. I am sorry as my injury has made the overall project get delayed. I will try to return very soon." Li Xue said and cutting her the very moment, the lady denied from the other side.

"You don\'t have to."? Chen Rui said and her words like that bewildered Li Xue. But the next moment she explained. "Recover with your best first. The team and schedule could wait."

She said and understanding her words Li Xue hummed. "I would recover soon. Don\'t worry, Ma."

After she said that, a small silence fell over the call which became more awkward and none continued. Giving up at the end, Li Xue coughed a bit and killed the silence that was getting difficult with the passing time.

"Ma, I heard from You Jun that there is something tough going on in the family. Please don\'t worry, everything will be going to be fine soon."

"You seem confident there and I smell something in your tone." Chen Rui was fast to catch the confidentiality in her voice.

Li Xue didn\'t say much but the vagueness in her words was enough to confirm the doubt Chen Rui had about her words.

"I am confident in the footing that royales hold. Everything would be turned out to be right in the due time." She said and not probing more, Chen Rui simply hummed to her reply. To which, Li Xue further added to say, "Ma, if you don\'t mind, can I call you later. I feel like I am missing out on something to check."

Understanding her intention, Chen Rui didn\'t force her any more. Agreeing to her straight away, she said, "Fine, take your rest and time then. I would call you later." She said and on her say like that Li Xue was ready to hear the disconnection of the call. But just when she expected the disconnection, the voice of Chen Rui came instead.

"Xiao Xue, don\'t blame yourself or your father for anything. Neither you were to be blamed nor Tingming as none of you have ever wanted this. It was just that you were written to us to make our life more prideful. So, destiny connected the strings to bring you to us. And I don\'t regret or feel bad about it." She said and just as she completed, a beep of disconnection came which didn\'t give any time or need for Li Xue to reply.

But those words were enough to put Li Xue in thoughts. Not for what she was thinking before but for what she had heard Chen Rui say on the call. Strings that made her attached to them. No doubt, she could feel it too as not everyone could read your thoughts that easily as Chen Rui did of her every time.

A soft smile covered her lips as she looked as she remembered the warmth she felt from the lady every time. Mothers were definitely like that. She could say it not because she was experiencing it new but because she knew. She was the same with her little one as well.

"You are zoning out here? What are you think about?" Right when she was in her thoughts, a voice from behind asked her. And turning on her heels, Li Xue\'s brows tugged together in confusion.

Checking the time on the watch, she asked, "Aren\'t you too early today, Mr. Beelzebub? Do you not have work today?"

Feng Shufen looked at her and deadpanned, "It was all done. So, I came back early." Then looking at her phone in her hands, he continued, "You were on the call earlier. Whom did you talk to?"

Li Xue gazed at her phone, then up at him to say, "Ah, it was just Ma who has called me earlier, asking about my wounds. Nothing serious about it. But earlier to that, I heard from You Jun; Shens are suffering at their workplace recently which has caused the whole royal family a terror."

She said and to her words, Feng Shufen maintained his composure. Reaching out his tie, he loosened it out a bit to just give a nod. "Ah, I see. The Shens have been the financial pillars of the royals. Definitely, it would be crucial at the moment." He said and then looked in the direction of the study, ready to walk.

But before he could make his way, Li Xue disrupted, coming in front of him with a squint in her eyes and hands on the sides of her waist, "Hey, Mr. Beelzebub, don\'t you think there is something you should share and explain?"
