Chapter 1471 Test all her worst.
Both Li Xue and Shin Tingming paused in their steps as they turned to look at the city prince. Su Ce looked at both before turning his focus solely to Li Xue to repeat his words once again, "I have some important matter to discuss with you. So, can we have a small talk, Your Highness?"
Li Xue looked at him and then turned to look back at her father. "Pa, you go back first. I will come after having a small talk with him.
Nodding, Shin Tingming spoke. "Fine. Wrap it soon. I will wait for you in the car." He said but Li Xue denied him shaking her head.
"There will be no need for that, Pa. You go ahead. I will come directly to the palace. Please don't worry." She said and Shin Tingming looked at her with a meaning. Li Xue understood the meaning of his gaze but didn't answer his question. Instead, she simply smiled.
Shin Tingming didn't ask more. He just gave her a understanding smile and then left. Li Xue looked at him leaving and once he was out of sight, she turned to look back at Su Ce.
"Yes, so tell me. What is the matter all about?" Li Xue asked, getting straight to the point. Her arms folded over her chest as she waited to hear him.
A playful smile got over the lips of the prince as tucking his hands into his pockets, he walked slowly towards Li Xue. "That's not fair, Your Highness. I know you have been busy lately, but that's not how you should treat a prince when he comes to talk to you. Princesses are known to be pampered and arrogant but we, the prince, are also not used to such arrogant treatment."
He said and Li Xue chuckled at his words. "Really? But as far as I have heard, princes are trained to bear the tantrums thrown at them by princesses."
"Yeah, we are trained for that but Princess don't you know that a prince only accepts the tantrum that comes from his lady not from everyone." Su Ce said flirtingly and even keeping her best, Li Xue couldn't prevent himself from feeling cringe.
Holding her irritation from his flirtation, she took a deep breath and pressed a small smile before asking all again, "Prince Su, I am sure you will find your lady soon. But here I am sure we have not stayed back to discuss that. Tell me about what you wanted to talk."
Su Ce's expression changed, but it was so subtle that Li Xue almost failed to read it. She felt like she had seen a flash of annoyance on his face but the very next moment it disappeared as if she was just illusion-ing it on him.
"You were good in the meeting; I was really impressed. I mean I never knew that you were this fast learner. Just in few months and days you were able to crack the code to upgrade the power of the royals, not just over the masses but also over the government officials." He said, his playful smile once again coming to hide his real intentions behind.
And because of his this ease in pretension, Li Xue wanted to avoid him as much as possible. But knowing that she wouldn't be able to avoid him always given his presence in most of the royal matters, she had already accepted him in her fate. Her attempts are just to keep herself as much away from him as possible.
Pressing a formal smile, Li Xue gave a small nod of acceptance. "Thank you for your appreciation, Prince Su. But I am the Crown Princess and can't delay my responsibilities for longer. So, I am just trying to be as quick as possible." She said and then paused her words.
Su Ce was about to say something when from the corner of her eyes, Li Xue saw a familiar Maybach driving. Her eyes shone while her lips curled up. Interrupting the words of Su Ce that was about to come next, she spoke, "If that was what you wanted to say Prince Su, I guess, we have completed our talk. Now, please excuse me, I should take my leave."
Saying that she didn't wait for long and stepped past him. But just when she was about to walk away from him, Su Ce turned and reached out to hold her by her arms.
Li Xue paused in her steps while her fingers clenched at the man's audacious act. While her eyes turned sharp, she tried her best to keep her attitude in check. Turning her head over her shoulders to look back, she asked, "Prince Su, may I know what kind of audacity is this?" Her eyes darted to glare at his fingers that were wrapped around her wrist.
Su Ce also caught the sight of the car and the man sitting inside. His expressions hardened as he replied to Li Xue in an annoyed tone, "Didn't you say to His Majesty that you will be going with me? How can you leave alone now?"
And his words took all the calmness Li Xue held in herself. At once breaking her hand free, she spat out, "Prince Su, from the next time before guessing anything on your own, try to check your assumptions. Also, don't ever cross your line. Being a royal, that doesn't suit the rightful character of the prince." She said, matching the eyes of the prince with her burning ambers.
Just a look at her eyes and anyone could tell that she has lost all her patience in that one unknown touch of the man and she was ready to burst out if another word came from the man.
Keeping the best in her mind, she just wished that Su Ce doesn't speak more and turned to leave. But it seemed like the prince was in the mood to test all her worst.
Before she could even take a step ahead, he spoke once again. This time his tone coming out as an order that pricked Li Xue's nerves like never.
"Princess, royal palace comes in my way. You are coming with me in my car."
