Chapter 374 - Suspicious that the real baby might have swapped in childhood.
"Mr Beelzebub, do you have to be so guarded every time when I am in question? Do you know how adorably childish you look there? Hmm?" Li Xue asked, suddenly turning all her attention from the passing scenery to the man driving the car. "Furthermore, it was not like the Queen was having his son around that you feared that I might not miss my opportunity to hug his t.h.i.g.h"
Feng Shufen did not say anything for quite a good moment. Li Xue waited and waited to hear him say but when saw almost no responses coming from him, she shook her head internally and again continued to look outside the window of the car.
After some more minutes of the drive, the car was pulled up. Unbuckling his seat belt, Feng Shufen said with a small humoured laughter "Who said the Crown Prince was not there? Though his attitude does not fit the title, his royal blood would never forsake his existence".
Li Xue's head snapped to look at him. Her brows, wrinkled in confusion. "What do you mean? Where was the Crown Prince? I have only seen His Majesty getting into the emergency operation ward, Her Highness waiting for him to get well soon outside with several bodyguards and butler behind".
Li Xue has remembered all carefully that not even in the sides of her eyes, she has caught any glimpse of the Crown Prince's presence. Not like she had some admiration for the Crown Prince or would have loved to meet him, but more it was for … how did she miss to notice someone? Her sharp eyes weren't taught this type of ignorance.
She looked at the man, waiting for his reply but instead of giving any solution to her confusion, Feng Shufen pushed open the door for himself and stepped out from the car. Under her gaze of full confusion, he walked to the other side of the car only to open the door, all gentlemanly for her.
"We are already at Yi Lan's place. Let's go and pick WeiWei first", he said, forwarding his hand for her to take.
"Huh?" all this time, Li Xue has failed to notice that the car has already been pulled up at some parking lot. When realized, she took the hands of the man to step out but did not forget the question she had in her mind before. Not allowing to let go, she said, "Mr Beelzebub, you have yet to respond to my previous words".
Feng Shufen stared at her then smiled, patting her head lightly with some adoration. Her words were still playing melodically in his ears, filling the air around with fragrance. "Don't worry I know you enough to believe that in no way the Crown Prince can charm you!" he said, c.a.r.e.s.sing her hair adoringly.
The woman could not prevent her lips from twitching at his words. How come his answer seemed all irrelevant to the context of the question she asked?
Not understanding it well, she asked, "Mr Beelzebub, the Crown Prince should at least be 4 to 5 years younger than me, same as Chen Yujian and believe me I have never been interested in younger boys. I have just asked you who was the Crown Prince there? How come I have not seen him?"
"He was the same bodyguard about whom you have complained the Queen" the man nonchalantly said as he pushed the door of the car close, behind her.
"Huh? The bodyguard?" Li Xue asked as her eyes flashed the remembrance of the unreasonable logic the young man had shown earlier. "Wasn't he just a bodyguard there?"
"What do you think?"
"If I could really think, Mr Beelzebub, why would I ask you then? Not like I have my childhood spent between the royal or they were some of my family relatives for which I would be all familiar with their ways or reasons behind their action?" Li Xue said, accepting her defeat at the very once, knowing that even at the end she would not be able to guess it.
Right at this moment, a voice from behind interrupted. "Sister – in – law, have you seen the top-rated scandal on the internet last week? The one where a young playboy created havoc in a popular gaming club?" Qi Shuai asked, coming close to the couple. He was coming back with some carry – bags in his hand. Maybe had gone out to get some necessities for Feng Yi Lan, Li Xue assumed.
After giving some ponder to his words, she nodded. "Yeah! I have seen some videos getting popular on the internet while I was scrolling my feeds".
Qi Shuai snapped his fingers at her as if she had got the jackpot. "Bingo! That was it, Xiao Xue. The playboy mentioned in that video was our Crown Prince of Chiboa. With the royal influence, they have just suppressed his title and have compensated the owner of the club behind the curtains".
It was then Li Xue understood what must have happened. Meeting Queen, she was sure of one thing that she was the woman to never accept the wrong. So even they have shielded the Crown Prince title from getting stained, Her Highness did not stop herself from disciplining his son.
Though it might seem wrong to some eyes, Li Xue knew for better that every mother knew the most effective way of disciplining their kid. Her Highness has her own and there was nothing to question in that.
She nodded in her own understanding. "Oh, I see!?Then that was the Crown Prince".
"Yeah! He was the one! And because of that, the whole nation pities the King and the Queen. They have got only one son and that too is such a troublesome kid. Never cares to strengthen the Royal name and title, instead always finds an opportunity to stain it down" Qi Shuai lamented, shaking his head with some pity and then added, "And given to his this troublesome attitude, some people are even suspicious if he is truly a kid from the royal blood or has he got to exchange in his childhood? Or else how can the royal genes go wrong. Getting lacked in the most important treasure of their blood. Their elegance and nobility!".
As Li Xue listened, she could let out internal sighs in her heart. Maybe sometimes Heavens loves to give the odds to the best people to test their patience!
But then … there was still something she had not asked. "Aye! Mr Beelzebub, who was FenFen? I have heard Her Highness mentioning that endearment quite lovingly".
