Novel Full Chapter 1034 - Why Do You Have To Save Them?
Shen Bingling paled. "Ms. Li, Her Highness already have so much to look after. Let's not bother her with our matters." She said, giving an awkward smile to Chen Rui first then turning to add some extra meaning in her gaze for Li Xue
But to her gaze, Li Xue feigned all innocence as if she was not getting anything that the princess was trying to explain. "Ms. Shen, that …" She began but her words were immediately interrupted as Shen Bingling couldn't afford to say more.
"Haha … Ms. Li, don't say more. It would turn quite embarrassing for Li Na. Please think for her with a good heart." She said and, on her side, Li Na was all confused.
The girl's expression turned all blank. Turning to Shen Bingling, she was about to ask what she was talking but she wasn't allowed. Just when she was about to word her confusion, Shen Bingling held her hands, asking her to stay silent.
"What is it, Shen Bingling?" Chen Rui asked with a frown and seeing the tug on her brows was enough to let everyone know that she has been sharp enough to guess the wrong in the situation. Now if not explained properly, things would simply not end.
Shaking her head, Shen Bingling thought to help herself. "Ah, Her Highness, there is nothing serious. I was just restraining to reveal since Li Na didn't want it. But now that it is making you worry, I will not hide it anymore." She said as she turned to look at the girl on the side. "Li Na wanted to have a can of coke. But Her Highness must already know that in the profession of modeling we just can't always have what we want, especially when the project is already ready to execute."
She said and her excuse looked quite convincible. Chen Rui nodded but then she turned to look at Li Xue to ask as if none other explanations was that believable to her other than hers. "Xiao Xue, was it really such as simple matter?"
Li Xue looked at this act of princess and was highly amused. Though she has often heard the royals using scapegoats in history, she never thought she would be able to witness it someday in her life. Furthermore, how loyal was the scapegoat here! Just a single signal from the master was enough to make her agree to all her arrangements.
Judging the two books partially at the front, Li Xue couldn't help but smile. Looking at her smile like that, Shen Bingling didn't have the right feeling. She felt her left eye flickering, bringing an ominous feeling to her heart.
"Sister Bingling, did we do a wrong to play with her earlier? What if she complains now?" Feeling terrified, Li Na couldn't help but ask.
"Shush! Stay quiet. If she says anything then …"
"Ms. Shen, I don't feel it was right to lie to Her Highness. Since your intentions weren't wrong to be said, your lies would only make it look complicated. Don't you think?" She said, gazing with the princess and Shen Bingling felt her lips dry.
Chen Rui's frown was not eased. Instead, it grew more complex. Turning to look at the girl on the other side, she said in a disappointed tone, "Shen Bingling, if it was really a trivial thing, what was the need to lie to me?"
"Y-Your Highness, t-that …"
"Your Highness, please don't blame Ms. Shen. It was really a trivial thing. She said it right. Her friend earlier wanted to have a can of coke. But she restrained her from having it considering the royal cultural project. But when I heard them talk all that, I couldn't help myself from joining their conversation. According to my experience, I told them that it's not wrong to have our favorite edibles in a while until we don't make it a regular habit. That was when you saw us from the distance. There was nothing serious, but a bit of debate in between me and the princess."
Li Xue explained with perfect logic before turning to look at Shen Bingling to make her confirm her words. "Did I explain it right, Ms. Shen?" She asked and her question like that immediately snapped the princess out from her daze.
Seeing Chen Rui turning to her, she quickly nodded, "Yes, Your Highness. It was just as Ms. Li Xue mentioned. We had a friendly debate on a simple matter. That's all." She said, putting a smile on her face that really looked awkward at her demeanor.
Chen Rui nodded. Though she was still suspicious, turning to Li Xue she supported, "Shen Bingling, I understand your concern regarding the project. But what Xiao Xue must have debated would be right. I have also heard that forsaking the diet plans once in a while doesn't harm much. If you crave for them too much, just have it in a while."
She said and gulping down the lump formed in her throat, Shen Bingling nodded. "I understand Your Highness. From next time we will keep that in our thoughts."
Chen Rui nodded and taking the opportunity, the girls didn't take long to leave the field, "Your Highness, it's almost time. We should go in first. Please allow us." They said before quickly making their way inside the designated garden. But that was not before Shen Bingling turned to give the last gaze to Li Xue. And that gaze was enough to tell those things have not ended yet.
Li Xue passed a smile of nonchalance that pricked the princess and her group. But in the presence of Chen Rui, there was nothing they could do. So, in the situation, they only decided to endure it for the next time.
Once they left, Li Xue turned to look at Xiao Meng. "MengMeng, you can go ahead first. I will have some word with her Highness and come." She said and understanding her words, Xiao Meng nodded. Giving a bow to the queen, she left quickly as well.
Once she was also gone, Chen Rui looked at Li Xue with disappointment. "Xiao Xue, that's was not I thought it would be? Why do you have to save them?"
