Chapter 1041 - Weren't You Too Ruthless, Princess Xue?
After Su Ce appeared, the air turned a lot different from what it was before. The girls that were sulking at the name of Li Xue before, was now pretty much enthusiastic. They no longer cared to go and sprout things against Li Xue or boost up the morale of Shen Bingling; what they now cared for was to get noticed for Su Ce even for once.
"Did you see that? Prince Su just looked my way. He did, right?" Someone said, brimming with excitement. But her happiness didn't stay for long as soon, someone showed her the mirror.
"Who said he is looking at you? Can't you see that he is simply having his word with the people around him"
"Don't think too much, Prince Su would never look at you guys. Even if he has to look at someone it would be someone of his match. Right, Sister Bingling?" Li Na said with some meaning at which the girl simply blushed.
"What are you saying?" Shen Bingling avoided, taking a sip to kill awkwardness. But all others around understood. Though none was happy with the mention of it, they still compromised.
"Right, right! Prince Su always has his eyes on Sister Bingling. Did you remember how he was so caring for her last year? He even requested to put the schedule on hold since Sister Bingling was having a bit of cough and cold?"
"Yes, and also how can we forget the lavish treat he gave us on the shoot completion of Sister Bingling? Definitely, Prince Su has his eyes only on our Sister Bingling."
"Sister Bingling, I am so envious of you."
They chatted and the more they did, the more Shen Bingling felt her morale getting boosted. After all, Su Ce was a name in the royal family that not everyone could afford to cherish. Since she was being paired up with him, that really meant that she had merits for that.
Hiding her flushed cheeks, she turned to look at the girls and shushed them. "Shh … don't say it loud. What would people think if they hear you guys? There is nothing like that and if anyone hears it, it would only cause problems for Brother Su."
Hearing her mention like that, Li Na could not control herself from howling in a bit of a restricted way. "Whoaa … did you hear that? Have ever heard Sister Bingling being protective of someone? Isn't she cute? Sister Bingling, now don't deny your feeling. Go and express it all the way."
"You all have gotten crazy. There is nothing like that. Anyway, I will go and greet Brother Su first. It wouldn't look good if I don't go." Shen Bingling said, before picking her glass to leave. And seeing her leave, every other person behind was cheered; their voices loud enough to garner everyone's attention.
Li Xue, who has not been far away could vaguely guess the things. She has heard fringes of the girl's talks and now that she was seeing Shen Bingling advancing to Su Ce, it was not hard to tell what could it be about. She didn't mind other's stuff actually, but for once in her life, she was feeling pity for the princess.
Not for she could see her future and coming rejection, but for having a team of girls like that. Creating their own story out of their own assumption. I mean who says the things like the well doesn't have water so it couldn't be deep enough to kill the person. Wasn't it too stupid to think like that?
But even it was, what could Li Xue do? It was not like she could go and tell this straight to Shen Bingling. And even if she does, who would be there to bet that she would follow her thoughts. If she really would have brains, she would never think to flock with those girls. After all, only birds of a feather flock together?
She shook her head internally when from the side, Xiao Meng spoke out with a curiosity-filled voice, "Sister Xue, do you think Princess Shen will be going to propose her feelings to Prince Su here?"
Li Xue didn't want to bother more with these pieces of stuff. So to kill the time instead, she thought to have the fun chat with her little assistant. Turning to Xiao Meng, she looked with great interest. Her arms over the table with her face resting on her palms. "There! There! I can see a romantic fire burning in your eyes. Did you get a crush on Prince Su now? Someone out at the parking lot would be heartbroken if he hears you say that."
She said and at her words, Xiao Meng at once shook her head. "No, no, Sister Xue. What are you saying? I don't like Prince Su?"
"Then? Do you like my younger br… *ahem*? Shin You Jun, the Crown Prince? If you like him, sorry to disappoint, he won't be appearing here today."
"Sister Xue, I didn't mean him as well. "
Then do you intend to say Du Fan? I can arrange that for you if you ask." Li Xue teased more and this much was enough to turn the poor assistant all red like a tomato.
Pressing her lips, she just shook her head, "Sister Xue, don't tease me. What I meant was pretty simple and …"
Li Xue couldn't help but chuckle. "Fine, fine, I understand what you meant. Don't grow this red or it will make you look pretty obvious later." She said and the girl felt more embarrassed. So, to switch the topic, she quickly repeated the question from before again.
"Sister Xue, I was asking about your thoughts. Is Princess Shen really going to confess to Prince Su? I fear if she does, she would be rejected."
Li Xue didn't bother to look ahead and simply shrugged her shoulders, taking her time to sip the drink. "I don't know. That's their job, let them deal with it themselves. If you want, just be a spectator and enjoy the show." She said and her brows pulled in confusion when saw Xiao Meng making faces. "What happened? What's with these weird faces? Did something happen?"
She asked and was about to turn to look what has amazed her when a voice by her side made the things too obvious.
"Weren't you too ruthless to say that, Princess Xue?"
