Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 383 - Suffering from Xenophobia!

When saw Li Xue disagreeing to her, Liu Hua shook her head internally. 'I would not be taking no as an answer today. Anyhow, I would make this ungrateful girl take her words back … will make her drop the idea. Sying has done so much for me, I could not let her suffer in her career because of this little witch', she thought internally as she looked at the woman's disinterested face.

Li Xue casted a last glance at the lady and was about to move away when suddenly Liu Hua grabbed her back by her wrist. "Li Xue, you will …" She started with a face full of anger but just then a black, shiny Rolls Royce car made its way inside the housing society which came to halt at a little distance away from the duo.

Li Xue's attention struck at how easily it passed the security check as if the guards were not the concern of the person sitting inside the car. Who was there? The question struck her and seeing it stop just near the house, the only possibility that seemed right was them being under Mr Beelzebub's guest list. But that suspicion was also denied when she saw Sister Margaret's denial.

Then who were they?

The confusion did remain for long as soon Li Xue saw the door of the car getting pushed open and then a familiar old man stepped out of it along with few full handed bodyguards following from behind. Her lips curled to give a smile of surprise at them.

Liu Hua looked at her smile and was about to turn to take a better look at the person who had come in such a pricey car but before she could, she heard Li Xue's greeting.

"Good morning, Mr. Royal Butler! Sorry, I did not get time to ask your name yesterday. Hope you would not take my way of addressing as a disrespect"

Those words of greetings instantly sent a shiver to Madam Li's spine and the face that was red in anger a few moments before turned as white as paper. Her fingers cl.u.s.tered to hold her nervousness in reins. Her eyes dilated and wavered, searching anxiously for a place where she could get herself to hide. But to her opposite fortune, the place was quite open to provide her with that benefit.

So, standing at her position, she just turned herself in a way where her face would not get revealed to anyone.

Li Xue's eyes did not miss that unusual behaviour but before she could do or think anything about it, the old butler from the side interrupted.

"No, not at all! Ms Li Xue's behaviour has been quite appreciated by Her Highness. How could she disrespect me? And it's my fault that in the middle of yesterday's hassles I did not get to introduce myself. You can call me Mr Cao", The old butler said in a well polite tone.

Li Xue shook her head, denying his apology. "You are embarrassing me Mr Cao. There is nothing to apologize for. But this …". She said as she stared behind him, at the bodyguards who had different baskets and trays in their hands.

Mr Cao smiled as he also turned to look at the bodyguards and said, "M. Li Xue these are gifts for you as a gesture of gratitude from the Royals. Her Highness has personally looked over the preparation and also …". He paused to turn around to retract a beautiful royal envelope from a tray behind and then extending it he continued, "This is from His Majesty. He has especially asked me to deliver it to your hands".

Li Xue smiled knowing that her note must have reached His Majesty at the right time to make him return the reply. Her eyes shined as she looked at the beautiful carving of the name 'SHIN' written on the royal seal.

When the old butler did not see her responding for quite some time, he said with soft laughter of hesitation. "I hope Ms Li Xue would not mind accepting it. Gifts are not about its price, it's about the thought with which it is given. And both His Majesty and Her Highness have delivered their thoughtful gratitude with it."

Li Xue looked at the aged butler and knew well what he did. After those words, does she even have a choice?

Pressing her smile, she said, "How could I disregard the care and love of His Majesty and Her Highness. Of course, I would accept them!" Then pushing her hands out to accept the letter, she unsealed it carefully to pull out a letter to unfold. Her eyes wrinkled slightly on the sides in support of the smile of her lips as she read the beautifully calligraphed letters on the paper.

"THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME RETURN BACK TO LIFE AND ALSO FOR YOUR HONEST WISHES. HOPE WE WILL GET TO MEET SOON!"

Once read, her heartfelt the warmth. She took it as the sincerity she felt from those words. Then turning her eyes to Sister Margaret, she said, "Sister Margaret, please help me put all the gifts inside".

"Yes, Madam!" The old lady instantly nodded in acceptance and then ordered a few maids to go forward to take the presents on the lady's behalf.

Once the things were settled, the old butler smiled. "On the behalf of the Royal family, I once again thank Ms Li Xue for saving the life of His Majesty!" He said, bowing down to show his gratitude. Then straightening up in his stature, he added, "Though Ms Li Xue has returned the Royal Golden card, the words of Her Highness still a promise and would not become a lie".

This time Li Xue did not show any air of modesty. Since the things were already this way, she could only accept it. Being modest to reject it again will only be seen as disrespect.

And disrespecting people who show respect to her was not in her character. So, smiling, she simply said, "Then I would look for an opportunity to trouble Her Highness then."

Those words brought a wrinkle of confusion on the aged butler's brows but it soon turned into soft laughter when he understood the underlying meaning behind it. Nodding his head, he soon took the leave along with the bodyguards in tow and soon the cars were driven off the Little Carnations.

Lui Hua who has witnessed everything from start till the end was still shaken to her core. Before she could react in any way, Li Xue said from the side, "I never knew that Madam Li was suffering from Xenophobia?"
