The next day.
Li Xue was early to visit her company first thing in the morning. But when she got there, Xiao Meng halted her out of Lin Xinyi's office.
"Sister Xue, sorry, but I think it won't be good for you to go inside right now". The young assistant said, coming to Li Xue, the moment she saw her about to knock at the office door.
Li Xue's brows wrinkled as she asked, "Why? Is Sister Xinyi busy with something?"
Xiao Meng nodded, putting her glasses properly on her nose. "Yep, Sister Xue. Right now, Sister Xinyi is with someone in a meeting and people seemed a little high profile" she said suddenly pausing, drawing close to murmur something in her ear. "And do you know, Sister Xue, seeing this client come to Sister Xinyi's office, the other models of the company are saying that the company is being biased to you"
She said and Li Xue tilted her head with amus.e.m.e.nt only to see her assistant confirming her words more with an eager nod. "Really?"
"Yes, Sister Xue. They are saying that the company is favoring you more because you have some personal relation with CEO Su", Xiao Meng said more and not even a line of surprise was seen on the face of Li Xue.
Instead, she simply nodded, giving an inaudible 'oh' to the words. This was not something unexpected, nor something she could falsify totally. Since she could not help the topic, she would just accept it for the time being, after all, at the end of the day, there was no way she could deny the close relation of friendship she shared with Su Fai.
"So, Sister Xinyi is busy right now?" She asked looking back at the closed door of the office room.
And once again, Xiao Meng nodded. "Yes, she is in the meeting. She has instructed me earlier to not let anyone enter, especially you, Sister Xue."
Li Xue remained silent for some moment, not saying anything but then taking a deciding breath in, she said, "Okay that's fine if it is that way. Let's not disturb Sister Xinyi now, rather let's go and complete our side work first. Once we are done, we can come back here to discuss things with her." She said before turning on the heels to leave the company.
Xiao Meng also followed behind her. "Oh okay, Sister Xue. I will call the driver to prepare the car. By the time we reach downstairs, he will be ready there". She said and Li Xue just gave the nod of agreement.
"You are learning fast, Meng Meng. I am happy for you." She said, giving a small smile and walking ahead, knowing well the squealing expression that was about to come from behind.
Xiao Meng paused in her steps, hearing the endearing nickname from the woman. Squealing in happiness, she ran forward again. "Really, Sister Xue? I will be better in the future". She said before helping Li Xue to get inside the car, following after her and then asking the driver to take them back to Aurora Fashions.

At Royal Palace, in Queen's office,
Chen Rui was sitting on her desk, handling her files one after the other with an expression that was clearly telling how serious she was going about her work.
"Rui, looking at you now, I understand what made Tinming fall this hard for you. Definitely it must be the look you are carrying at the moment". A voice suddenly popped up from the door of the room, without giving any polite knock of interruption.
The Queen's lips at once curled up, identifying the voice in an instance. "Yuchun!" she called, as she lifted her head up to look up at the woman who had appeared at the door. "Where do you always disappear? Do you even know how hard it's to reach you?"
The woman smiled as she took her time to enter, and set her jacket and handbag aside. "Why are you missing me? Has your beloved husband cheated you and you want my shoulder to cry on?"
Chen Rui laughed and shook her head. "It's a fortune that he is not here to listen to you, otherwise, I would have gotten into a tough spot between you two. Anyway, tell me how are you? And what made you appear here today?"
Yun Yuchun shook her head to nothingness, before shrugging her shoulders off. "Umm … there is nothing special on my mind. I just got free time, so I thought to come here to surprise you." She said, taking a pause to walk again forward where Chen Rui was sitting and working on. "But what has kept you so busy and serious. And why are you doing it alone? I mean, your secretary is not helping you out?" She continued looking down at the work scattered on the desk.
Chen Rui smiled, shaking in denial. "Nothing to make me extra serious. I am just working a little on my work and that's it. And furthermore, it's me who has sent Linda out for some work. So, technically I am not working alone." She said while her friend fiddled a little around the file, raising her brows with amus.e.m.e.nt.
"Whoa! So, Her Highness is out to change a new tradition this year. I am all amazed." The lady Yun said, smiling softly seeing the information that was not kept any hidden from her eyes.
"That's not a change, dear. But just a little improvisation in the things to make it interesting. Following the same trend again and again was only making it boring," Chen Rui said, chuckling a little but then, folding the files one after the other.
Yun Yuchun nodded in understanding but then asked, "How did your beloved react to this decision? I am sure he would not be happy with all this arrangement."
"Mhm it was like that before, but then he agreed to it, seeing that I will not be the one to budge off from my stand. Furthermore, I don't think my plans are any wrong, rather something that will perfectly go with the idea of cultural promotion". The Queen defended her stand more righteously, but when saw her friend smiling, she paused both in her words and her thoughts.
"Yuchun, what are you smiling at? Do you find it flawed?"
The woman shook her head in denial, staring with all her calm. "It's not about if I am finding your plans flawed or not. Rather, I want to ask you if you are solely planning for only Chiboa's cultural and traditional promotion, or has the mother in you have become more desperate for a daughter?"
