Based on the boy's tone of surprise, Li Xue could already imagine his expression at the moment. "Why do you have any problem with that? Weren't you all ready moments ago? Did you lose your confidence now?"
"Hey, my confidence is not that easy. I am the Crown Prince of Chiboa. Don't underestimate me." Feeling his reputation getting hurt, the boy on the other side retorted, almost making Li Xue suppress a chuckle.
"Then? Are you ready for it?" She asked and the boy on the call could only give a loud huff at her tone.
"Ready? My ass!" He cursed in a suppressed tone so that Li Xue didn't hear on the call. But it was still loud enough to reach her ears.
Li Xue raised her brows. "Did I hear something?"
"Elder Sister, what do you take me as? I am THE Crown Prince of Chiboa. Do you think I could be your informer just when you ask me as one?" He asked, switching the previous topic sooner than expected.
Li Xue heard him and took a deep breath in. "The one whom I called isn't any Crown Prince, rather the one little boy who likes to tag along me calling 'Elder Sister, Elder Sister' a million times."
"Who calls you a million times? Aren't you overestimating your value?"
"Haha … Am I? I thought being the only Elder Sister to THE Crown Prince of Chiboa. I already hold a lot of value. But seems like my little brother doesn't …"
"Hey, aren't you twisting your words to trap me?" He asked and in his voice, it was clear that he was already giving up, getting on his knees.
Being with Mr. Beelzebub, she has learned well to trap people with her words. Li Xue smiled as her lips twisted with a grinning smirk. Of course, she has learned from the great master, she must have to be a great student. "Do you agree on not?" She asked again.
Shin You Jun hmphed helplessly on the other side. "Not until you tell me the reason? You know being the informer in the royal family is not that easy. I might even get executed."
Li Xue's face turned serious. "I want you to inform me about the happening in the family. I have heard from Shufen that things would get complicated for Ma and Pa after the thing about me getting in the royal family tree reach their ears. At that time, I don't want to become their weakness rather come out with a plan in their support."
She said and on the other side of the call, the boy rubbed his chin with thought, "Oh I see. Things have already started getting complicated. Especially after Mr. Shen has officially turned his back on us." Complimenting the seriousness of the topic, the attitude of Shin You Jun as well changed.
Li Xue nodded at his information. "Mhm. That's exactly what I want to know. When you return home, try and check how things will be getting molded against us." She said and the boy hummed on the other side all easily, already agreeing to his sister's plans.
"Fine then, go on with your work for now. Keep me updated when you return home." She said and Shin You Jun hummed, but suddenly he realized something amiss in those words.
"Hey, wait a second." He called to stop Li Xue from disconnecting. "What did you call our parents? And did you just call us a family? Yes, yes, you did. Does that mean you have already considered the proposal of getting into our family?" He asked with over-excitement.
"…"
Shin You Jun blinked. "Hello. Tell me fast. What are you waiting for?" He asked again but his lips only got pursed when from the other side of the call he heard the blank beeps coming. Pulling the phone, at the front he confirmed the disconnection of the call before gritting his teeth. "Did you do that on purpose, Elder Sister?"
Back on Li Xue's side, soon she strolled down to check on the little girl in her room. Pushing the door open, she checked only to find her little devil sitting all sincerely at her study table, reading her books.
"Sweetie, didn't your exams just get over a few days back?" She asked as she got inside, walking up to her.
Little Li Wei paused and turned up to look at her mother to nod. "Yes, Mama. The exams were already over and soon the results would be coming out."
"Then why are you studying so regressively now. Isn't this your nap time?" She asked, for once checking the clock.
WeiWei jumped down her chair and ran two steps to hold her mother. Then pulling her, she brought to make her sit on the bed to say. "Mama, you should also rest at this time. Why are you walking here and there? Didn't the doctor ask you to rest?"
Li Xue pouted but then getting a gentle hold on her ears, she asked, "Baby, do you think that's so easy to switch the topic with me? Don't worry, walking here and there in the house, I am resting already. Now tell me why are you not taking your afternoon nap right now? You know right, that I don't like seeing you miss your rest time. Huh?"
She said and pulling the expression of innocence, the little girl hugged her mother with love. "Mama, WeiWei was not studying here to upset you. It's just that WeiWei wanted to skip her nap today so that later in the evening, she could spend time with you while taking care of you."
She said, and her words like that were easy to melt every façade that Li Xue was holding at front. Loosening the grab on the girl's ears, she smiled at her first, caressing her hair to ask. "Fine so that's for me?"
The girl nodded her head profusely and Li Xue turned to look at her books on the table, giving the nods of pondering. "Okay, I can exempt you for a day then. But since WeiWei is working hard to save some time for Mama. Mama will also wait here for her to complete her studies fast. So later when she finishes her study, we can together take a refreshing nap. What say?"
Little Li Wei turned to look at her books in perplexion. But then giving some thought, she nodded. "Okay, Mama. WeiWei will finish her studies then. Wait for me.." She said and then quickly sprinted to get on her chair.
