Li Xue kept firm silence. Her demeanor looked quite calm and composed in that silence, very unlike the one she was holding before. So much ease in her manner only subjected two possibilities at the moment. 

Either she has given up her anxiety! Or has chosen to be on the side of patience! 

But which of the both was her choice was really hard to tell. Her attitude at the moment wasn't telling much. Her eyes were staring at the floor with some thought as if all her answers were written down there in some twisted puzzling tales that she was yet to un-solve.

Suddenly her lips curled up as her eyelashes fluttered along in response. Her eyes moved from the floor to look back at the woman who sat on her seat, waiting to hear the next coming response from her. 

"Concealed from me? How are you so sure about it? Were you also one behind the things?" Li Xue asked and her question surprised the woman sitting across from her. But the flash of surprise on her expression didn't stay for long. It appeared and then disappeared so quickly that if not for the keen eyes of Li Xue, she would have failed to notice it as well. 

Yun Yuchun stared for a moment and then nodded without any restriction. "You can say that. I have been an important part of this story as well and I will never shrug off my responsibilities denying it. When the time comes, I will definitely come forward to take the blame. But taking the blame will never mean that I will regret it." 

She said and Li Xue stared at her. The lady's words seemed mysterious, having more than one meaning in them. Li Xue could feel it but knew asking at the moment wouldn't be an option for her. She wanted to say something on the straight acceptance of the lady, but seeing her so confident in accepting her involvement without showing any sign of regret, she could only hold her words inside, nodding to her with a smile. 

"You don't have to pretend to be strong, child. I know you have suffered a lot and seeing me having no guilt is kind of very annoying for you as well. But I would still ask you to hold onto your curious nerves for some time and wait for it. You will know it sooner or later", the lady said, holding a known smirk over her face. 

Though smirk was the sign of conceit; for some reason at the moment, Li Xue felt it as a gesture that the woman was using to hide the expression of sympathy for her. 

"Whether you would regret it or not will not be my concern. When I come to know the truth, I will definitely come back to you to get my reasons. That time you won't be able to escape saying these easy words". Li Xue spoke, getting up, taking her bag, and equipping herself to leave. Her eyes firmly looked at the woman, not bending once in her high sought presence.

Yun Yunchun stood as well. "You will always be welcomed. Find me anytime and I will be there, waiting for you. We share that depth of relationship, at least". She said, smiling comfortably. 

Li Xue gave a last glance at her before moving on her heels to leave at once. The lady stayed behind, looking at her until she was out of sight. "I would never regret my actions from the past even though I know I was wrong to do that with you, dear. Because I know that was the right decision in that situation." 

While on the other side, after Li Xue left the store, she walked straight out of the mall without anything around. Only reaching out of the building, did she stop in her steps to take a deep breath inside to calm down her nerves before exhaling out all her cooped up aggravations. 

Though earlier she had pretended to be all calm and casual in her attitude, that calmness was just a mask for her to stand firmer and stronger in front of the woman. She didn't want to show her weakness in front of her. Even though there was a vibe of familiarity in her, still given her experiences from the past she could not dare to put her guards down in front of anyone. 

"What is it all about? Why can't there be a simple clue relating everything?" Huffing out, Li Xue looked around. "If they aren't my parents then who else could they be?" She thought, pondering simply on the surface but inside several other questions were running about whose sources were simply not making sense. 

She was still in her world of ponders when suddenly her phone in her bag rang, giving her the chance to escape out. 

Pulling out, she looked at the contact id contacting her and her brows furrowed. Without taking any time she quickly received the call. "Hello?" She greeted with some suspicion as she waited to hear the person on the other side. 

"H-Hello! I am the Principal of Cygnus International School. Am I talking to Mrs. Feng?" The voice from the other side asked. Anxiousness and hesitancy were clear in the voice. 

Li Xue's fingers clasped on the phone as she hummed in response. "Yes, Principal ma'am. Is Li Wei fine?" After the admission of the girl, this was the first time she was receiving a call from the school. Though receiving the call from the school wasn't something new to her as her princess has set a record in that, still given the stuttering tone with which the Principal has started the call earlier has given her doubt of something wrong in her heart. 

"Mrs. Feng, We have called President Feng earlier but his phone has been busy. So we are calling you to ask – has your driver already arrived at the school to pick Li Wei for home?" 

Li Xue checked her watch. There was still an hour left for the scheduled time. "How can that be Ma'am. There is still an hour left for the last bell. Our driver won't have reached to take WeiWei back. She must still be doing her routine in the self-study class in the school. Is there something wrong?" 

"Mrs. Feng, Li Wei is not in the self-study class. Her friend has informed that earlier during the break time after the classes, she left with someone she knew." The Principal informed. Her breath came short and hasty, full of trouble and anxiousness.
