Chapter 1213 One battle down, a war yet to go.
Li Xue’s lips curled up in a very beautiful smile as staring at Su Ce, she studied him first. Then taking a step closer, she drew herself a bit dangerously close to him to say, “What do you think, Prince Su?”She said before pulling herself back to her stance with a nonchalant expression.
Su Ce didn’t understand the meaning of her words. He just felt that there was something threatening about her tone, that almost stiffened his spine unknowingly. He gulped to ease his dry throat before looking at the woman.
No, no, no, Su Ce. You can’t go weak in front of her. She is just a woman. What could be there in her that could scare you? She is just playing tricks on you. Don’t let her win.
Just when Su Ce was about to lose for good, his wicked internal self gave him the strength to survive in the last few minutes. His confidence returned and his next words were just in the bay, ready to come next.
But just before he could say anything, Li Xue significantly pulled her hands up to check her watch and said, “Ah, not much time is left for the grand meet to start.” Then looking up back at the man, she added to say more, “My bad. Although I like this game of guessing the mystery very much, I don’t think I have time to play it for longer.”
”So, Prince Su, let me cut the chase for you. I am just asking you to make amends for the things you ruined before it’s too late. You have time now. Go in and instead of asking for the support of royal members in your court, go and stand in support of my father. Otherwise, as I have said, later you won’t have the face with which you could face the world.”
She said, and in her words, the demand was very clear. For a moment it silenced the air around but suddenly the crisp laughter of Su Ce took her off-guard.
”Haha … what did you say?” He laughed before shrugging off her said words from before like it was of no importance. “Princess, I have heard that you are soon going-to-be the princess of the state. But that doesn’t mean you would set yourself out to bite random people. Beautiful princesses like you don’t do things like that. Especially to the soon-to-be heir of the State.”
He said, holding up his dignified head that was famous for charming women.
Li Xue didn’t faze from her stance. She just let the man enjoy his small delusion for a second before saying. “I know princesses don’t go and bite randomly. That’s why before biting I chose to give you the warning.” She said before pulling out her phone to show something. “Anyway, since you find my warning hard to believe, allow me to prove you with a nice teaser. I believe after this you won’t think that I just randomly bite people.”
She said turning her phone towards Su Ce to show him a video where he has been walking inside some hotel with a woman in his arms. Just the way they were close to each other, one could say what was the intention of their relationship.
Su Ce’s expression hardened at that video while noticing his face growing pale, Li Xue laughed lightly. “I guess, now you know what I was saying before. So, are you going to change your agenda for the day, Prince Su or should I send this clip, along with other proof to every phone that could buzz inside the hall? Believe me, for me it’s just one click away.”
Li Xue said as she pulled back her phone and pressed a few clicks before turning it again to show. “See, I have drafted it all together and have kept all the royal members, including you, in the recipients. The moment I press send, it would be delivered to all, unveiling your true face to everyone.” She said and at her threatening words like that, Su Ce’s jaws clenched while fingers fisted on the side.
”What do you want?” He asked and Li Xue could clearly hear the gritting of his teeth in between his words. But who said that she cared? He could grit his teeth however he wanted. Even if his entire set of teeth fell out, she wouldn’t care to give a damn.
”Haven’t I already made it obvious what I want Prince Su? I want you to turn everything back to normal once again. Now, how you would do that must be an easy piece of cake for you. After all, if I can see a way in between this whole plot, I am sure you must also see one. You are still a pro gamer. Anyway, you have got fifteen minutes on hand. Think as must as you want. I am sure you can plan your whole life in that short span of time.”
She said, as once again her expression turned seriously sharp to look at the man.
Then turning on her heels, she didn’t bother to stay there for long. Proceeding with her steps, she soon walked in the direction of the great hall’s entrance. But her steps paused suddenly as she turned slightly over her shoulder to look disdainfully at the man.
”Prince Su, after seeing you have such a disgusting lifestyle, I bet no good woman would fall for your fake charms. So, you better stay away from them too. Especially from Princess Shen. She is a good woman, who deserves better and that’s definitely not you.” She said, not exactly knowing why she said that in the first place. It wasn’t like she accepted Shen Bingling as her friend.
She shrugged her thoughts when she wasn’t able to guess the answer to it. ‘It’s fine, Li Xue. Your main focus was to solve the complication of people switching to the side of Su Ce. Since it’s already dealt with, there is no problem in doing an extra good deed. After all, Prince Shen is a good woman, who really deserves better.’ She said internally before finally, making her way inside the hall room.
Li Xue took a deep breath in as she gracefully walked inside the room reminding herself once again. ‘One battle down, a war yet to go. Best of luck! You can do it, Li Xue.’
