"Yuchun?" Chen Rui felt that there was something under the surface that she was unable to see. But she couldn't put a finger on it. One was her daughter and the other was her best friend. Doubting them with secrets wasn't something logical. So, she thought of giving them the option to explain.
Yun Yuchun's lips turned up with some awkwardness as she stared at her friend before trailing to look at Li Xue. Maybe she had not expected the girl to reveal it; not after she gestured to her to keep the secret.
But maybe she has overestimated her capability in judging the girl. After all, she was the blood of Shin Tingming. She shouldn't have forgotten that the girl would ever allow anyone to intimidate her so easily.
"Rui, that, I don't remem…" Yun Yunchun was about to deny her remembrance when from the side, she was interrupted.
"Oh, I am sorry, Ma. I didn't want to cause any scene regarding the past. But I feel Auntie doesn't seem to remember me. Maybe for the last time we met, she has just seen me as the customer who had come to visit her shop here." Li Xue said, staring at the lady first before turning to smile with her eyes at her mother.
"Remember, I got the cashmere scarf for you. That was from this store. And she helped me select it and that was the first time I came to know the feeling I hold for you in my heart. So, in a way, she helped me to find you. Do you remember me now, Auntie?" Li Xue spoke before turning to ask again with the lady with an unhidden meaningful gaze at her.
Yun Yuchun stared at her and after a moment, her lips curled up in a smile. "Of course, now I remember. I couldn't believe how I could even forget. Especially when I don't have many customers in my store." She said before turning to look at her friend to add. "Rui, dare not blame my age in this for your daughter knows well to come in disguise. See, she has appeared all differently today. How do you expect me to remember her?"
She said and smiling, Chen Rui turned to look at Li Xue.
"I can't blame my daughter as well. She is popular in society and leads generations towards fashion. If anyone is to be blamed here then it's definitely your eyesight." She said, shamelessly biasing with her daughter. "Furthermore, what happened to the sharpness of your gaze. I never heard of it missing out on something in years. Then how could you miss my girl."
She asked, and playing along the line of the story, Yun Yuchun raised her hand in surrender. "I rest my side already. For once I could think of winning a friend over in an argument, but I could never believe myself winning to a mother who has planned to keep her daughter supported. So, yes, ultimately, I was at the fault."
"That's better." Chen Rui spoke before chuckling and turning to look at Li Xue on her side. Li Xue as well laughed, reciprocating her mother and soon it looked all merry.
People around just stared at the three ladies having a good time and speculated on the identity of the two ladies around Her Grace.
"Did I just hear Her Grace calling the young girl as her daughter?" One of the persons in the masses asked. To which another replied in acceptance.
"Yes, she did. I heard it as well."
"But hasn't the royal couple only had the son, the Crown Prince. From when did they also have a daughter and that too this old?"
"This looks interesting. The lady looks slightly older than the young prince. If it's like that, wouldn't she be holding a greater position than the prince?"
"I feel now even the royal palace will see how siblings would fight for power and throne."
People talked among themselves as they, themselves, kept assuming the things. Although they haven't seen Li Xue's face yet, the presence of a girl beside the queen and the queen referring to her as her daughter was enough to bring up many stories.
"Rui, you already gave many topics for them to talk about. If you are satisfied now, can we go inside now? I am sure you must be waiting to check the collection I have for you." After a while, Yun Yuchun said and nodding to her, Chen Rui gestured Li Xue to walk inside.
Getting inside the store, the staff came to greet whom Yun Yuchun asked to cover the windows first. People were staring and having their stares continuously could easily ruin anyone's mood. So, to omit that one thing, soon all the glass walls of the store were pulled down with curtains while the tag of store close was hung outside.
Once done, Yun Yuchun asked one of her staff to come forward. "Her Grace is here to select an outfit for herself and her daughter. Please attend her with the best." She said and soon the staff scrambled to check the whole store for the lady.
Li Xue looked around while Chen Rui also scanned the store to check the things. "I must say, your store shows your aesthetic sense of style. Yuchun, you never changed, nor did your taste."
Yun Yuchun smiled while at the same time staff came forward to request, "Madam, we would need to take your measurement, if you allow."
He said and Chen Rui turned to look at Li Xue, who instantly spoke to buy some time, "Ma, you select first. I would go after you." She said and nodding to her Chen Rui agreed, walking aside to give her measurements.
Once she was not near, Li Xue turned to look back at Yun Yunchun with a smile. Then walking up to her she asked, "So, were you surprised earlier, thinking that I might reveal your knowledge to Ma?"
Yun Yunchun smiled back before shaking her head, "Nope, not truly. For I know you are much like your father with whom I have known and shared my university days. I was just disappointed in myself that I let it slip out of my mind at that time."
