Chapter 1177 Overstep of the boundaries.
As Chen Rui walked out of the mall, she noticed the silence Li Xue held. Although silence wasn't bad every ti; with the little ti she gets with the girl, she prefers her to be more talkative.
Pressing her lips in a thin like, Chen Rui suddenly paused in her steps, waiting for Li Xue to realize that she was no longer walking with her. And after walking so distance, Li Xue did realize it as she turned around to check, only to find her standing several steps behind with the people queued after her.
Tugging her brows together, she scrunched her expression in a little confusion, "What happened? Anything we forget behind?" She asked as she walked back to her side.
"You only realized it now. We left sothing really important." Chen Rui spoke before doing a little here and there with her fixed cuff sleeves. "Your talks. Do you think we can get it back from there?" She asked revealing her complaint in the taphorical phrase.
Li Xue closed her eyes with so guilt as shaking her head, she apologized, "Ah I am really sorry, Ma. I didn't want to make it feel like that. I was just … just…" Before she could say more, Chen Rui reached out to hold her hands together, patting gently over her skin to assure.
"I understand your position, dear. But believe , Yuchun could never be our foe." She said and Li Xue want to shake her head, denying her words. She never ant to bring a topic like this, especially when she knew the lady was no other but the old best friend of her mother.
But Chen Rui also understood Li Xue's thoughts too well. So, shrugging off her denial she added to reassure, "It's okay dear. I know from where that's coming from. The one who has suffered would definitely take asures to prevent the second ti. But believe , Yuchun could be anything but an enemy to us."
"Though her attitude sotis confuses people, she always knows what she is doing and what consequences it will bring. Until she has a way to nd things up, she would never overstep her boundaries." She said and Li Xue pressed her lips.
"Overstep her boundaries? Who would set those boundaries for her?" She asked and at her that one question, Chen Rui halted.
Her brows wrinkled while her eyes narrowed slightly. Looking in details of the expression of Li Xue, she asked patiently, "Wait. Is there sothing that I don't know? I feel like there is sothing that …"
Li Xue shook her head. "There isn't sothing like that, Ma. I was just a bit curious to know. But anyway, whatever might be her boundary, we can discuss it next ti. For today, I feel if we do not leave on ti, I would get late to reach sowhere I need to be." She said as she checked the ti on her watch.
Chen Rui also checked the ti. "You have work today? I thought you would be returning palace with , after all, you haven't brought your driver with you."
Nodding, Li Xue didn't reject. "Of course, I would be returning with you. But I wouldn't stay at the palace for long. I have to attend an urgent eting at the company today, so need to be there on ti." She said as the two again resud their walk towards the car park.
Both talked on their way while suddenly the scarf of Li Xue hung on her handbag flew away. They paused in their steps yet again as Li Xue turned to look for her scarf while one of the guards run to get it for her. Once back, they were about to walk towards the car once again when Li Xue spotted soone getting out of an exotic car from the corner of her eyes.
The rembrance of that face and figure wasn't sothing engraved in her mories but since she has saw it just the other night, it wasn't too hard for her to recognize that face.
"This …"
"What happened, dear? Is there sothing?" Noticing the gaze of Li Xue, Chen Rui asked and her askance like that snapped her out from her thought.
Shaking her head, Li Xue denied, "Oh it's nothing. I just rembered sothing. Let's go." She said as turning, she got into the car. Chen Rui accompanied as well.
Although The girl has denied her question, looking at her lost expression at the mont, she knew there was definitely sothing that ca out of a sudden. Sothing that wasn't from their earlier talks. But she didn't probe anymore. She let the girl dwell on her thoughts on her own, as it seed sothing important that needed her concentration.
The engine of the limousine started and soon it was about to set off in the direction of the palace when suddenly Li Xue halted the driver.
"Stop the car!" She ordered on a sudden reflex as the car pulled up the very instant. Then turning to Chen Rui, she asked. Her tone was very polite and believing, "Ma, there is sothing that I need to find out so I would need to get down here. Can I?"
Chen Rui read her eyes and then asked, instead of agreeing to it straightforwardly. "Didn't you have a eting later?"
Li Xue nodded. "Yes, I still have it and I will reach the company to attend it as well but after looking into the thing I am planning to look now. Later when you leave, I will give Du Fan a call and ask him to drive here. So, it wouldn't be an inconvenience." She said, and Chen Rui felt not too satisfied with her words.
But still nodding, she agreed. "Fine." She said before turning to pick up her phone to make a call to a bodyguard who was sitting in one of the behind cars. "Let arrange the things," She said and before Li Xue could understand anything, the call got connected as the lady ordered to say, "Young Princess is having so work here. Stay back to protect her."
She ordered and since it was already passed, Li Xue could no longer refuse it.
