How could he relax when his whole family was under stress? He felt exhausted inside but, on his exterior, no hint of stress could be pinpointed.

Shin Tingming was going through the financial journals when he heard the steps approaching in the direction of study in the depths of mild darkness of the night. Lifting his gaze up, he looked up in the direction of the door only to find Chen Rui appearing from a distance.

His brows tugged in a frown as he checked the time on his watch, "You are not yet asleep, Rui? It\'s already so late." He said and pursing her lips at him, Chen Rui simply walked inside the room.

"How can I sleep that easily, Tingming, when I know that if not come to remind you, you might stay awake until dawn?" She said, as walking up to his desk, she looked at the files he was working on. "You are looking for new investors for the project?"

She asked and looking up at her, Shin Tingming hummed. "Mhm. Due to the current mess, the investors have become quite rigid which has almost made all of our projects pause in the midst. To keep the continuous flow of capital in them, we would need the new investors."

Understanding, Chen Rui nodded. "So how is it going? Did you find people for investment?" She asked and denying, Shin Tingming shook his head.

"Nope, given the current situation, it\'s tough to find someone. Furthermore, I feel the person behind all this is simply making the parameters go more against us. Neither are we able to find who it is, nor can we do anything to prevent it. It seems like we are intentionally trapped by someone."

He said and remaining all nonchalant to his words, Chen Rui just continued to nod at his words.

Shin Tingming noticed her nonchalance but didn\'t mind it first. But when the corner of his eyes caught the lift of curl over her lips, his brows tugged in doubt to ask, "You are smiling. What\'s exactly making you smile at a situation like this?"

Chen Rui\'s smile deepened as she stared ambiguously at the man. "I am just trying to compare how much you are different from your son-in-law." She said before taking a pause, she sized him up and down to continue, "Previously when FenFen talked about having an elite marriage agreement, I found him similar to you. But now that I am seeing more of his other actions, I feel like you could simply not match the way your son-in-law spoils and dotes your daughter. His way is a way too different from you."

She said and her words like that only made Shin Tingming frown more, unable to understand what she was actually talking about.

"What do you mean, Rui? Amidst all of this, how did Feng Shufen come up?"

Chen Rui didn\'t say more but simply smirked at him before gazing down at all the files Shin Tingming was working on.

The man followed her gaze and as well looked down. At first, he failed to comprehend but when he pieced the things together, his eyes widened as lacing his gaze with some fury, he looked back at Chen Rui.

"How dare he? He is the one behind all this?" Although his voice was light, it was laced with anger that was perfectly complementing the air of seriousness of the night. That strictness in his voice could easily flinch anyone but the lady stood there all unfazed at his tone.

Keeping her ease in check, she simply folded her arms over her front to say, "From when did FenFen lack the dare and courage, Tingming? Did you forget that he is the same boy who in his teens stood at our palace all confidently with tankers and army, ready to start the war? Did you think that his dare would die down just because he retreated that night on our say?"

"Rui …" Shin Tingming\'s voice raised unable to understand some facts. But once again, unfazed by the rise in his voice, Rui came up with her best calm.

"Tingming, you might be right on the stance of the king; but remember FenFen is also not wrong to do what he did. He came forward to teach the respective people the lesson for putting their hand on his wife. He dared but his dare was rightful. And even being the king, you need to understand that."

She said and it was then Shin Tingming understood what it meant actually. His expression paused for a moment as looking down after a while, he nodded, regaining his calm. "Even he did right, Rui we can\'t support him in this thing. We can\'t forget that at the end of the day, our head holds the crown of responsibilities which restricts us from thinking personally."

"Even though our heart knows and supports them if needed for the sake of the royales, we can\'t stand idle. We would have to take measures even if it means going against them."

Shin Tingming said and understanding his say, Chen Rui nodded. "I understand but Tingming, you need to understand as well that even though you know that it\'s FenFen behind all this, you can\'t do anything. Furthermore, having the responsibilities of the king, keep a check that you also have the responsibility of a father that you can\'t dodge."

The man nodded, before looking back at the files. "You sounded so confident earlier. How did you come to know about all this? Did Mr. Cao come up with any information?"

Chen Rui shook her head. "Nope, it was not Mr. Cao but your daughter that hinted at the things. Anyway, she was quite concerned about you, so asked me to not let you take extra stress about things. She said that she believes things would turn right soon." She added, her words had more meaning than what she was revealing.

Shin Tingming understood it as well but not probing more, he simply nodded, already satisfied with the fact that the girl doesn\'t hate him but has concern for him.
