Chapter 1156 – Your Pride And Arrogance Are All Well Protected.
"Not right?" Li Xue wrinkled her brows in confusion while feigning all innocence on her face. "What is not right, You Jun? Did you not bring your bike today? Don't worry I can ask Du Fan to drop you off. Wait let me give him a call." She said and quickly turned around ready to reach the intercom to give a call.
But just when she was about to, from behind, Shin You Jun halted her ungently. "Don't call."
Li Xue turned to look at him and raised her brows to which, he quickly added, "I mean look at the time, it's not good to wake someone up this late. He would be all tired tomorrow." He said in a tone that showed his deep humanity but Li Xue could easily read between his likes.
Shaking her head, she denied, "No, no, it's fine. Take him with you today. Tomorrow, I don't have anywhere to go. So, I can give him a full day's rest. That would be better." She said and under his gaze, she dialed the digit to make the call. But the next moment, with a swift speed of lightning, Shin You Jun snatched away the receiver to cut the request.
"I said you don't have to. I am not going anywhere." He said bending down to keep back the intercom. Li Xue suppressed a smile as she saw him getting up. "I am not going anywhere." He said firmly looking at her.
Li Xue widened her eyes at him. "You mean 'not going back'? Does it mean you are staying here with me? I thought you were upset with me. Are you no longer upset with me?"
She questioned back-to-back and Shin You Jun felt like getting trapped in her words. "Who is staying here with you? Don't assume things wrongly. I am staying here to save myself from doing extra efforts. In the morning it would be unnecessary to come this long-distance again when I can hear in the night. Furthermore, the dawn is not too far away. Just a few hours would be enough to hear the early chirps of birds again."
He said, before straightforwardly walking to take the seat on the couch in the living space.
This boy would simply never accept his true intentions. Li Xue smiled at his childish attitude before following after him in the living space.
"This is comfortable enough. I will sleep here." Shin You Jun said getting himself retired on the sofa and looking at Li Xue as if just after his saying, he claimed the place as his own.
Li Xue stared at him and eyed the place to ask, "You will sleep here? Are you sure? We have an extra room. If you want, I can always give that to you for your comfort."
The young prince pressed his lips in a straight line before looking away to say. "I am not staying here for finding comfort. If you have forgotten then let me remind you that I am here just to meet WeiWei, not to protect you at the night. If you are scared of someone or something, then be prepared for protecting yourself as even if you would be kept on the point of a knife, I won't come to save you."
He said and, in his words, Li Xue could clearly hear the tone of the puppy who often barks but seldom bite. Nodding to him, she accepted to believe. "Don't worry I will not depend on you. I will save myself. And I will also remember that you are here not for me but for saving yourself from extra efforts. No matter what happens, I will never bring myself to believe that you are scared of me living alone here in the forest."
She said and taking the note of every point she added, Shin You Jun nodded, "Yes, perfect. Remember that then and don't let your thoughts assume on their own." He said and Li Xue reached her forehead with two fingers before swiftly dragging a salute at him.
"Sure, boss, I won't. Now let me bring you something to drink." She said and was ready to walk away when Shin You Jun panicked.
"Something to drink? Why? I didn't ask you for anything."
Li Xue pressed a smile before saying, "You don't have to tell me that, I can see your lips getting dry. And dry lips meant only two things – that either you want something to drink or you are getting dehydrated. And in both of the situations, you would definitely need something to drink."
She said and the boy immediately licked his lips to ease the dryness of his lips. "I … I …"
Li Xue shook her head internally, before reaching out to pat his shoulders to say, "You are thinking too much. If you drink something here, I won't think that you have let go of the anger you hold for me in your heart. Be at ease. Your pride and arrogance are all well protected and I would definitely not think anything unreasonably." She said, pressing a smile before turning to walk in the direction of the kitchen.
Shin You Jun opened his mouth to say something but before, he could, Li Xue was already out at the distance where his voice couldn't be audible until he yells. He couldn't understand that earlier with the tone with which the woman talked with him – Was she being sarcastic with him? Or did she just make fun of him?
In both situations he was the one losing, so he didn't like it.
Pouting his lips, he slumped on the seat before looking in the direction where she disappeared. He was busy in his thoughts on, when the intercom at the front rang. His train of thoughts broke as reaching out, he picked it up to hear without any hesitation.
"Madam, I am ready with the car. Do you want to go somewhere?"
It was Du Fan who has called. Earlier when Li Xue has picked the intercom and dialed the connecting number to reach him, his side has already rung, and thinking it to be something urgent, he was ready to take the lady anywhere.
Shin You Jun heard him and instantly understood. Feeling the desperation on his nerves, he quickly said. His tone was that of panic. "Don't you have sleep? Go back to your bed. No one is going anywhere. I will stay here for the night.." He said and then quickly shut the line in order to get it done before Li Xue comes back.
