Soon enough the things were handled meticulously. The orders were passed according to Chen Rui's said rules and Liu Hua was sent away to the place from where her return was simply impossible. Though sensing his benefit, Li Sheng wanted to sever all his ties with his wife, he wasn't given an opportunity and he as well had to tag along with the woman in her ending journey. "Rui, I never expected you to be this merciless. I can say, today, I have seen a different you". On the way out from the villa, Shin Tinming said, keeping a smug smile over his lips. Chen Rui kept her nonchalance at the appreciation and simply shrugged to say, "Who said you have gotten to see all of me in just half of our life? You still have enough time to read me slowly by slowly, flipping our coming life pages." The man's brows raised hearing his wife say that but the woman didn't stop to give him any time to comment. Walking ahead, she at once opened the car to take her seat and looking at her such attitude, Shin Tinming couldn't help but smile. She was still the same. Then getting his steps forward he as well got into the car to drive back to the palace. "Rui, when did you come to know about the truth?" Almost driving half of the distance, the man could not stop himself from asking that. This had been a question on his mind since he had known her knowing about it. The woman turned to look at the man and smiled. "When do you think?" "…" The man has no idea. How could he even guess? The woman never gave any clue of knowing it until Li Xue showed up in the palace. So was it at that time? Chen Rui shook her head, guessing the thoughts of her husband all well. "I have come to know the truth just along with you. Do you ever think you can keep your thoughts secret from me? Just a glance at you is enough to let me know everything. About the woman's trick on you, I have known twenty-six years back but since you were all firm at your stance that time I didn't come to meddle in between." "As for Li Xue, it wasn't tough at all to guess. The way she talks and carries herself was more than enough to let me know that she has something that's very much similar to you. So I came to know about her before you got to know". The queen said, remembering seeing the girl first at the hospital, and then her leaving the note for the person she donated her blood to. Shin Tinming would have never guessed that. Women were called to be a mystery, he knew. But he never thought that they could even hold the mystery this well. "Since you came to know it first, why didn't you come to confront me? To let me know the things?"
"What could that have changed? Or even if it had changed something, then too, I wanted to know how you would be reacting to it? And to say truly, Tinming, you have disappointed me. I never thought that to accept a lovely child, like Li Xue, you would have to face an internal mess. I mean haven't we always wanted a daughter with your qualities and my aura. She is the same." The queen said and the man could only feel the lack of reasons in his book. He, himself, doesn't know why it became so tough for him. Maybe from the very start, he took things from the wrong perspective. Only if he had seen things in another way, it wouldn't have been this tough. "I am sorry. I was at fault." "Nevermind! That milk has already spilled, we can't do anything about it. But we still have another pan of it. What are you planning to do with it? Are you going to tell Xiao Xue who you are to her?" The woman asked, getting a little excited with the thought. Shin Tinming turned to look at her like that and a sad smile covered his features as he chuckled simply to inform. "Rui, she might not want to know me." He said faintly and then turned back to look at the road. Understanding his words well, Chen Rui could feel the pain in his heart. "Tinming, aren't you being a little selfish with her. You are again thinking the things your way when you should keep your perspective according to her. How could she believe in the relationship of a kid and their parents when she has such a bad experience in it. It's time for us to give her some time. Let's leave the decision to her, I am sure she would soon get adapted to us, and then she would readily accept us as her own." She said and hearing her say that the man could only nod to accept. "Mhm. I can't blame it on her since it has always been my fault in the first place. Let me watch her from a distance and give my cheers to her." "Mhm. I am sure your persistence would definitely win in the end. For now, I am already happy that she has happiness in her life. And with FenFen along, she would never lack that." Like a mother thinking about her daughter, Chen Rui said with all her good thoughts. She has known Feng Shufen enough to know that she could trust her daughter with him. But at the side, the man seemed a little doubtful. His scrunched brows showed the worry that was keeping him at the edge thinking about the Feng family that wasn't easy to deal with. Internally, he knew the path for Li Xue wouldn't be as easy as they thought. Sooner there would be more things happening in her life that would tire her out. And he doesn't want his daughter to get all messed in it.. But at the same time, he would not want her to lose the happiness that she was getting by enjoying her life with Feng Shufen.
