Li Xue's eyes suddenly paused at the man. Though her expressions turned poker, her eyes were sharp enough to tell that she was no longer in the mood of ease in which she was all this while.
Su Ce noticed it well, but it seemed fun for him. He was just waiting to hear what words she would be using to explain it. After all, offending a royal wouldn't be nice in any scenario. And also accepting a relationship with a man like Feng Shufen wouldn't sound simple.
Shin You Jun's eyes stared at Li Xue as well and the weirdness in her aura made him swallow down the none existent lump he felt forming in his throat.
Looking at her like that, he almost cried out, 'Elder Sister, can you please be a little more expressive. What are you thinking about? You are scaring me now. Please do remember our Ma is sick and she might get back that attack of coughing if she sees you doing any wrong'
Remembering his mother, he turned to look at Chen Rui only to get speechless. 'Ma, how can you be so calm even looking at her like that? Aren't you being unfair again? If it had been me, you might have already rushed to get me prisoned at home. Why are you trusting her then?'
He complained in his heart, down curling his lips. But none had the time to notice him.
Chen Rui truly didn't mind. Not because she trusted Li Xue too much, but for she knew that the girl knows well to come up with her own ways.
"Don't say you find President Feng to be more suitable than me, Ms. Li; or I might get hurt." When saw Li Xue not responding, Su Ce probed with a hidden smirk.
Suddenly Li Xue's features changed. The expressions that were sharp on her face moments ago, turned all mild in a blink of an eye, perplexing almost everyone around, "But I did say that, Mr. Su." She said and her words like that kind of put Su Ce in dumbfoundedness.
Raising his eyebrows, he was ready to say something but Li Xue didn't mean to give him any chance. Keeping her lips intact with a smile, she clarified more, "I did say that. For me, Shufen was more suitable because he is the one, I can trust more than anyone." She said and the way she called Shufen's name done it all. But still, to be clearer, she added, "He is my husband."
Though Su Ce knew the truth, he was not expecting the woman to accept that; after all, her connection with Feng Shufen might raise suspicion on her capabilities.
He was surprised to hear her accepting her without any restriction. But just opposite to his internal thoughts, his lips tugged up with a smile of amusement as smiling he suggested, "Husband. That's quite unbelievable. I mean not from my point of thought but from others. I mean I can be confident in you seeing you so close to Her Highness and Crown Prince."
He said gesturing gently towards the queen and the young prince and then adding, "But don't you feel that others won't think the same. And …"
Before he could complete, Li Xue pulled her lips in a smile to say, "You don't have to keep confidence in me with vague facts, Prince Su. Just wait for the project to start, you would know it more clearly. And as for others, I really don't care what they say or will think. It's their perception that is not easy to change. Then why should I sacrifice my time and efforts on giving them the reasons?"
She said and Su Ce was rendered wordless by her words. Though he knows that what she said was quite right about her thoughts, he never thought her to bring it that blatantly. Didn't girls always think to be on the safe side more? Then why was she so different?
A quick wave of curiosity got added to his intentions but before he could say anything more, a maid came to politely interject. "Young Miss, as per your instructions the lunch is prepared for Her Highness. It's already her time to take the meal. Should we serve it now?" The maid asked, keeping her eyes down at the floor.
Li Xue heard her and then turned to look at Chen Ruin on her side. Earlier, though she has ordered the maids according to her will, she still couldn't dare to order the queen to the dining table that too when she had a guest to attend.
Chen Rui looked at her and smiled, "You asked them to prepare lunch especially for me?" She asked and ignoring the gaze that Su Ce was giving to them, Li Xue nodded.
"Yes, I have asked them to prepare something that would be helpful to your condition. But since you have a guest to attend, I can't be sure if you would want to have it now?"
Shaking her head, Chen Rui at once denied, "Nope, I will have it now." She said then turning to Su Ce, she added with a plain smile, "I have asked Su Ce here just for you to meet him before time and get a little bit of knowledge of each other before starting the yearly project. Since that motive is already attained, I don't think Su Ce would like to stay here for long. Isn't it, Su Ce?"
She asked but there was no disagreement accepted as an answer. The tone and words were clear enough to let the man know that he was no longer needed in the place and he could leave first.
Su Ce understood it well as well, so keeping his lips curled, he nodded before getting up to proper his jacket. "I can't dare to keep Her Highness away from her meal. Please continue, I would ask for an excuse first." He said before gentlemanly, he bowed his head to ask for the leave before sending a look to Li Xue.
Chen Rui simply nodded with an elegant smile before seeing Su Ce straightening up to leave. Shin You Jun was also looking contented. Maybe because this was the first time, he was satisfied with the counterattacks he gave to Su Ce.
Seeing his satisfaction like that, even though Su Ce has taken his steps ahead to leave, he paused to say, "By the way, You Jun, won't you come along with me? I am going to attend the meeting where His Majesty has headed to." Then turning to rest, he explained, "My elder sister is also attending it, so she has asked me to come as well."
Chen Rui looked at his son. She knew how much he wanted to attend it.
But Shin You Jun kept his composure well. His eyes went to look at Li Xue first as he calmly said, "You can go ahead. I still have responsibilities to attend at the palace. I can't skip it just to attend a simple administrative meeting where my presence is not so important."
He said and hearing his reply like that, Li Xue smiled.
Finally, the pig she taught, knows the way to talk sense.. She was impressed both with the boy and with herself.
