Chapter 1209 One time against you is ten times against others.
Li Xue was waiting in the car. It was already more than an hour but the traffic still looked a lot stubborn to clear up. “Mr. Driver, later when I leave, please check what has gone wrong with the city’s traffic police today.” She said and, in her voice, the frustration was quite evident.Du Fan looked at her through the rear mirror and nodded and then thinking for a while, he said, “Madam, if you say then I can arrange something else for you. You can leave and reach the royal great hall in time.”
Li Xue stared up at him, pressing her lips in a thin line. “Arrange something else? Are you still thinking of arranging a chopper, Mr. Driver?”
The driver bowed his head and didn’t refuse. At the moment, seeing the lady’s anxiousness, he would suggest any means better and faster to reach the destination. “I can arrange that Madam if you allow. It’s just a few calls away.”
Li Xue felt speechless. A chopper is just a few calls away! She couldn’t doubt it, knowing her husband was rich enough to own a luxurious private jet. But she knew even if they owns it, she couldn’t be reckless to use it to make a flashy appearance.
So, shaking her head at that idea, she rejected it once again. “If it’s a chopper, then Mr. Driver, just leave it. Or anyway, I don’t think I have got any other option to leave right now. Since that adult child would be here anytime soon, it would only be better to leave with him. Otherwise, later he would cry and complain saying that I don’t value him and his efforts.”
She said, not yet forgetting the whiny face of You Jun from the other time. She just couldn’t imagine what his words would have been when today, he was asked to drive to come here to pick her up.
Right at that time, when she was thinking of him, a knock at the screen of her window snapped her out. She looked out through the glasses only to find someone on the bike with his helmet on.
Slowly, winding down the window, she scrunched her brows at the boy to say, “Little young brother didn’t expect your riding skills to become so rusty only after not practicing it for months.” She said, looking at her watch.
Feeling offended by her words, Shin You Jun instantly lifted up his face shield to say, “Elder Sister, isn’t it enough for me to drive here in the crowd for you? Furthermore, my expertise has been in racing the bike in the dangerous valleys on the outskirts of the city, not in jammed crowded roads.”
Li Xue’s lips curled up at the corners as pulling a sarcastic smile, she said, “Oh, is it so? What a pity! Your dangerous bike riding skills wouldn’t be of any use in a situation like this”.
”You …” Shin You Jun opened his mouth to say something in retort, but before he could say anything, Li Xue extended out her hand to him. He looked down at her hand and even though he was annoyed, he still handed her another piece of headgear he brought with him for her.
Li Xue smiled at his annoyed face slightly before pushing the door of the car open to step out from it. “Come on! Scoot behind fast.” She said, fastening the strap under her chin.
”Wait! What? I am not going to scoot or shift anywhere. Ma has asked you to sit behind me while I ride the bike. So, you get yourself comfortable behind.” He said, shifting a bit forward to show his initiation.
Li Xue looked at him and pursed her lips at his stubbornness. Then taking a deep breath, she reasoned, “Didn’t you say you have practiced only to race in the dangerous valleys. See, here it is no valley but crowded roads. So, just let me drive it.” She said, more in an ordering tone.
But guess what, she had truly underestimated the boy’s hard-headedness. Not moving an inch from where he was sitting, he said. “No way. In no terms, I am going to let you drive my bike. Sit behind if you want to go, or we would stay here like this forever.”
”…” Li Xue stared at him and then thinking for some time, she added, “This is not the first time I am riding your bike. Why are you creating a fuss over it at a place like this? We have a family meeting to attend. Do you think we can afford to delay the time?” She said, trying her best to control the grit of her teeth.
Shin You Jun still sat the same. And with his nonchalant expression, it felt like he wasn’t even hearing what she was telling him.
”Sister, I am not going to hear anything. Since you are an elder here, you decide whether you have to stay here fighting with me or have to rush to the place where we need to reach soon.”
He said and Li Xue glared at him. “You little …”
But before she could lash out, Shin You Jun added more to say, pausing her halfway. “You are an elder, so the responsibility of both of us lies on your shoulder.” He said, and Li Xue could not say more.
It was good that she and the boy were wearing helmets, otherwise, with so many pairs of eyes around, she dared not think about the news tomorrow. But luckily, right now they were nothing else but a pair of siblings who were fighting over very naturally.
Li Xue’s fingers clenched on the sides as taking a deep breath in, she agreed to compromise. Holding upon the shoulders of the boy, she sat on the bike, grumbling, “Congratulations on your first win little young brother. But don’t worry, I will make sure this remains the only memory of your victory over me.”
Shin You Jun’s lips curled up victoriously as he accelerated the bike engine to say, “Haha … Elder Sister if I can win once against you, then believe me I can win ten times against others. Anyway, the play has just begun. We shouldn’t be too sure of the count as none of us would be living less in this world. We have long years ahead of us.” He said before putting a smile over his shoulders.
Li Xue opened her mouth to say something, but before she could the boy added up again to say. “Alright, Elder Sister, now sit tight. Ma and Pa must be waiting for us. We need to reach the great hall soon.” He said and then glided the bike twisting and turning through the crowd.
