Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue was back to reading the file when she heard the knock at the door. Knowing who it could be, Li Xue simply looked up to say, "Mr. Secretary, please come in. I heard Sister Margaret say that you have something important to inform. What is it?"

She asked and nodding to her, the man first came to keep another file on the table. "Madam, this file has details regarding Prince Su Ce. His personality is a bit secretive, so it was hard to find too much about him, but as far as it was possible, I was able to gather his information. You can read it here." He said and Li Xue took the file in her hand to check.

Nodding, she agreed. "Okay, thanks." She spoke. Though Gao Fan has said that he was not able to take out the detailed information about Su Ce, Li Xue was sure that whatever he would have gathered must already be enough to help her. After all, the standard of Gao Fan's meticulousness couldn't be easily matched.

Gao Fan gave some time to Li Xue to go through the file once before saying again. "And Madam there is something serious going on in the royal family." He said, and raising her brows a bit seriously, Li Xue stared up to ask.

"Serious? What's it?" she knew that since His and Her Highness has been adamant about her identity in front of Shen Donghai, news about it would be spreading fast. And if it gets spread, no doubt things would turn serious at the end.

Keeping his expressions all serious Gao Fan reported. "Madam, although His and Her Highness has been trying their best to handle it, the accusations on them regarding you are getting increased every other day. Their support is getting divided continuously. With the move out of Shen Donghai from their side, many other people have followed the suit of walking out. And as result, the firm power of the king is no longer stable in the royal family. If this continues, the day wouldn't be far away when His Majesty would have to give up his throne and the title of the king."

He said and Li Xue heard his words with utmost concentration. Although it was a topic of concern, the confidence in her expression not for once changed. As if she was confident that though the situation was turning out worst, she would be able to turn its all effect over.

"Mr. Secretary, since His and Her Highness can handle it, for now, it won't be better for me to meddle in. But just for a scenario, I want to ask just for the general knowledge, if His Highness has to give up his throne and title then who would be going to take it next? Will it be Shin You Jun, since he is the Crown Prince?" Li Xue asked and in no second, Gao Fan shook his head.

"Nope, Madam. If for any reason, His Highness would have to give up his throne and title, the Crown Prince would also change. As for that time, the title of the next king might belong to Prince Su Ce as he is the next favorable person in the family." He said and Li Xue nodded understanding his reason.

"So that means whoever has left the side of His Majesty's side now, must have walked to his corner. Isn't it?"

Gao Fan nodded. "Not everyone, Madam. But most of them. Some of them have just walked out following their friendship with Mr. Shen. If Mr. Shen decides to come back to the side of His Majesty, there is the possibility of the other to follow the suit as well."

He said and with some understanding of her own, Li Xue nodded. "I see. Thank you, Mr. Secreatary. Without your help, it wouldn't have been possible for me to understand all this. But it must be hard for you." She said, for a moment, changing the subject to appreciate the man's help.

Though Gao Fan has known for his stoic face always, when Li Xue presented her appreciation, he couldn't help but blush for a second in shyness. Bowing his head, he quickly accepted to say, "Please Madam, that was my job to do. Please don't thank me." He said and Li Xue shook her head.

"I know that was your job, Mr. Secretary. But even a job I can see how tough it could be for you. First, you have to handle the things for Shufen and then has also to do this for me. I can't be too ungrateful towards you. Anyway, since you are feeling embarrassed, I won't say more. But always remember, I won't forget your help to me."

She said, understanding the tough spot for the man. Gao Fan nodded in relief. Though he never expected much from the lady, he always regretted judging her so soon in the past. Only after knowing her more, did he come to understand, she was the perfect match for his President.

"Madam, let me know if you want any other help from me. For now, I will leave for the company first. In the latter half of the evening, President Feng has a meeting. I need to make preparations for it." He said ready to ask for leave.

Li Xue agreed to his request with a smile. "Please, go ahead. I won't stop you." She said and bowing, the secretary turned to leave. But just when he was about to step out, Li Xue paused him to ask.

"By the way, Mr. Secretary, I want to ask something. Just give a minute more to me." She asked and at her request like that, Gao Fan turned to look at her, ready on her request. To which, Li Xue continued to add.

"What did your President Feng do to the royal Shen family? As far as I have known him, he wouldn't have let them go easy. So, what did he do exactly to them?"

Gao Fan was stiffened. His expression changed evidently. But he couldn't say a word to explain. Li Xue smiled, then shaking her head she let go of the secretary. "Fine, I won't put you on a tough spot. Given your change in expression, I could already say that my guess wasn't wrong. You can go now, Mr. Secretary. See you later." She said and Gao Fan then walked off.
