Chapter 1232 Are you really caged?
While Li Xue was concentrated on her thoughts, she felt the continuous stares of Shen Bingling from her side. Feeling it out of no reason, she turned to ask with a slight tug on her brows. "Is there sothing on my face, Princess Shen? You are suddenly staring at like you have discovered two horns on my head."
She asked as a curl lifted the corner of her lips on one side. But even on her joke like that, Shen Bingling didn't laugh, instead, she stared at her more seriously before putting a straight question from her heart. "Li Xue, was she really your best friend?"
Li Xue looked at her with a frown before nodding. "Mhm. She is my best friend. But why are you asking?"
"She sounded so childish. You two don't seem similar, then how did you accept her as your friend?"
Li Xue pondered over her words for a mont before chuckling. "First of all, you guessed her wrong. She is not childish. That's her case only around , otherwise, to others, no woman could be as ruthless and arrogant as her. And secondly, two people don't need to be similar to establish a friendship between them. It's just based on two people's sincerity and mutual respect. Once these two things are there, two people could be friends."
"Although people say 'birds of a feather flock together'; they don't an the literal aning actually. What they an is that when two birds connect with each other, they get adapted to each other's habits. We are also the sa. When I and Yi Lan are together, we get adapted to each other's tempo and that's what makes us good or more like best friends."
Li Xue said as Shen Bingling listened to her words. None had ever explained friendship like that to her and she couldn't deny that friendship this way felt much more relaxing. One doesn't have to fear pretending, nor does one have to feel scared of how the other would be evaluating them.
As she thought more about this side of friendship, Shen Bingling's lips curled up in anticipation. Beaming with excitent, she turned back to look at Li Xue. "Xiao Xue, later when we would beco friends, promise , you would also help beco a bird with whom you would easily flock around."
Li Xue's foot almost stepped on the brakes as she choked on her breath, hearing that unusual demand of the woman. Who demands things like that? This was her first-ti hearing soone present their proposal of friendship like this. She turned to look at the princess who blinked her eyes expectantly at her.
Giving an awkward smile to her demand, Li Xue had nothing else to say and escaped with. So, she could only say, "We would see that when the ti cos. Let's go and have our lunch first." She said before turning back to focus on the road.
But as if Shen Bingling was not yet finished, she imdiately turned back to Li Xue; once again hesitating in herself before bringing her curiosity out.
Li Xue would have encouraged her to speak, but it was just a mont back that she had gotten speechless with the strange demand of the princess. So, she felt it was only better if she reached the restaurant without hearing any other words from the woman.
But Shen Bingling's curiosity has got her best. Not able to hold it any longer, she finally asked, "Li Xue, there is sothing I am concerned about. Don't get wrong, but can I ask you one thing?"
Li Xue looked at her and wanted to reject her, but the expectation in the girl's eyes made her nod instead. But before it could get too late, she added, "Only if it's not again asking about our not-so-happening friendship."
Shen Bingling smiled and then shook her head. "It's not about that, believe . It's sothing concerning to you."
"About ? What is it?" Li Xue was not sure what the girl was up to. So, she could only ask while keeping her concentration on the road.
Princess Shen Bingling took a deep breath before framing her words in her heart to ask, "Are you really caged by your boyfriend?"
"…" Li Xue didn't understand. She turned to look at the girl with slight confusion on her brows that seed like fright to Bingling. "Princess Shen, what do you an? I didn't understand."
Shen Bingling beca more concerned for Li Xue as she explained forthrightly. "Li Xue, there is nothing to be scared about. Earlier, I heard Shin You Jun saying that your boyfriend could be easily compared to a Devil. Although I didn't believe him at that ti, now hearing the concern in your friend's voice, I couldn't help but think twice about it. Furthermore, she also added to say that he has caged you in the house and has left people to guard your whereabouts."
Li Xue understood where this whole misunderstanding had gotten started. At this mont, she wanted nothing but to go back to the great hall and twist the ears of the boy. He has really been courageous in calling his Brother-in-law a Devil in front of an outsider.
"Princess Shen, you have gotten it wrong. Those were just so cynical taphors that both of them have used against him. My boyfriend isn't like that. He is quite good to ."
"But just now, you, yourself, said on the call that he has left n to look over you." Shen Bingling retorted. "Xiao Xue, you are a princess. You don't have to worry. Just tell us and we will help you out of this toxic relationship. Believe ."
She said and the sincerity of her words seed genuine. But even if it was genuine, Li Xue couldn't accept it because it was simply not right. Smiling, Li Xue shook her head. "There is nothing like that, Princess Shen. I am not scared, rather I am very much in love with him. He treats the way no one could treat anyone. Furthermore, yes, he has left n to look over , but those are there just for my safety. If he had really locked up to the place, how do you think, I would have co to attend the royal et today?"
She said and even though her words seed to have logic, Shen Bingling just felt that Li Xue was behaving like a teenage girl, who was covering her relationship with her toxic boyfriend. She was reluctant to give up the topic but knowing Li Xue for the short ti, she understood one thing about her – the girl always prevents arguing when with friends. And since she wanted to beco her friend, she had to follow the ritual.
So, in the end, she nodded to her and said, "Fine, since you are saying so. I would believe that for now. But you can always co to share with later. I would be all ears to you." She said and Li Xue just shook her head,
"Don't worry, Princess Shen I can understand that you are concerned for . But once you et my boyfriend, you won't feel the sa." Li Xue said.
Shen Bingling didn't say more, instead pressing her lips in a smile, she turned to look out of the window. Suddenly her gaze caught soone following them from behind. She stiffened as she quickly alerted to say, "We are being followed by soone, Li Xue. Look back. Soone is following us on the bike."
As Li Xue heard the girl, her expression changed. Her eyes turned sharp as she looked at the side mirror, truly finding soone following them closely from behind, trying his best to not co to the notice.
