Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 511 - Capable of playing both with his mind and heartstrings.

Chen Rui sat at the dresser in her room as she looked at the mirror and did her daily night routines. "Will you stop staring at me like that Tinming? I am feeling like you are accusing me with those eyes" She said when even after trying her best she could not bring herself to ignore those gazes of her husband.

"You may not be feeling the things wrong, Rui? Maybe I am accusing you of something that you did, going all the way out of your nature", Shin Tinming said, looking all leisurely at his wife from the bed. Though his posture looked all relaxed, deep into his eyes and mind several contemplations were going on.

The woman pursed her lips, looking at her husband from the mirror and then said, "Tinming, please don\'t start the same discussion again. Almost every time I give you the reasons for my liking for that girl and every time you come to ask me the same. Have my words become so difficult for you to understand after these many years of our marriage?"

"Rui, you know it very well what I am talking about?" The man said, pausing for a second and then sighing, he continued, "Rui, I am not going to support you for this. Can\'t you see that she is just like her mother? Vicious and violent! She tried to strangle a girl in the restroom and then even after knowing that she was at the fault, she kicked the manager out of his job. Playing with the people around. And here, you are defending her?"

Chen Rui\'s lips curled up to give a beautiful smile as she said, "Of course, I have accepted her as my daughter. Now it\'s only my right to let her know what\'s right and wrong. Even with You Jun, I do the same. When he is at the fault, either you and I are allowed to punish him. I have never let anyone else say a thing against him, then how do you think I will treat my daughter unfairly? So, yes, I will defend her even at her worst. Furthermore, I feel like she was not wrong and might have her reasons that we are not aware of."

"Ruii!" The man breathed out defeatedly. He has known that his wife has always been fond of having a daughter instead of a son, especially after losing a chance of having one. But he could not understand what was making her so engrossed with that evil Liu Hua\'s daughter. Wouldn\'t that girl have the qualities of her mother? He has heard the butler say that most of the girl\'s identical features match her mother, even her face.

Shin Tinming was about to trance his thoughts when he heard his wife pushing the dresser tool back a little to stand up and take her walk back towards their bed. Her hands, slowly smoothening soft fragranced hand cream on her hands.

"Will you believe me, Tinming when I say that, Xiao Xue often gave me your vibes? With her around, I feel like it\'s your figure walking with me. The same positive aura that you carry in your demeanour" He heard her say and at once he felt his bones felt stiffening inside. His eyes looked at his wife\'s.

Though she has pushed forward a question to him, he knew that she was demanding any answer for it, rather it was merely a state of her perceptions that she was presenting to him.

"You said she is as vicious and violent as her mother. But you know my eyes only saw her kindness, rightfulness and pretty heart. Her stature or justice felt the same as you hold. Even today, her way of presenting her thoughts and words were so alike to you that for a second I could not help but love her, thinking that she is so same as you". The Queen said with a smile of nonchalance but one can easily see the seriousness she held in her eyes behind her words.

The King was taken aback. Was this the answer to his question? Nope, he would not believe it. If he brings himself to believe his wife, it will only make him go unfair with her. And being unfair with her would be the last thing he would want. For once he could be unjust to the whole country, even to himself but to his wife, he could never. She was his soul and being unjust to one\'s own soul would only bring one to perish.

"Rui, that\'s enough! I don\'t want to hear all that. There is no way she could be like me. I won\'t believe it. And if the people that are close to her take her as wrong then might be there can be something that we are missing in the story. You can\'t just go and believe her blindly. After all, how long have you ever known her?" Tinming said, quickly shrugging off the thoughts he got on his mind. To him, his only priority was his wife whom he has promised his whole love. There was no way he would accept himself going otherwise.

But the Queen was too adamant to make the man accept her point of thoughts. Shaking her head, she said, "I have yet to let you know about the things that happened today, Tinming. You have just got to hear what our men have seen there. You have yet to hear my thoughts".

The King doesn\'t want to hear more. To him, his wife\'s words affect him the most. She knew all well which nerves of his to be pressed to make him accept the things and which one should be twisted to make him change his mind. In short, one can say that she was the sole woman capable of playing both with his mind and his heartstrings.

"Rui, it\'s already quite late and it might have been quite hectic for you to go and shop around for hours. I will hear everything tomorrow. For now, come and sleep first. Take some good rest and from next time, just ask the butler to go around and shop for the things you want. Don\'t trouble yourself from now on." He tried his best to dodge the situation but when saw his woman frowning, he knew that it was his time to get subdued. Nodding, he wordlessly agreed to hear her words.

If it had been some other time, seeing her husband give in to her demands, she would have smiled. But something was in her heart that was not letting her cherish the moment. She looked more serious about someone. And the man could clearly see that in her eyes.

Something was keeping her in guilt, but he could not identify what was that.
