When Li Xue's gaze turned sharp at the side mirror, looking back at the biker following them behind; Shen Bingling panicked inside the car. Her expressions changed as looking all dreaded with the reality, she spoke, "Li Xue, we are being followed. What should we do now? Is he here to rob us off or to assassinate us?"
She said as turning to look back she added more in anxiousness. "Li Xue, I have heard my father say that on us, the royals, there is always a life threat. Some people are there working to hunt our lives. That's why we should always be strict with our safety, yet today I made such a big blunder. In my excitement to come along with you, I forgot to take my bodyguards along. And now both our lives are at risk. What should we do now?"
Li Xue didn't speak a word. Instead, her gaze turned sharper at the person, as slowly a slight sinister curl lifted up her lips. Although she kept driving still towards her destination, her gaze not once left the biker who was following them from behind.
When Shen Bingling saw her all unmoving in her stance, she thought that might be the girl had gotten more scared than her. So, taking a deep breath in she decided to be the big person to handle the situation. Calming her nerves, she spoke, trying her best to not let her voice shiver, "Li Xue, don't be scared. I am here with you. We would be safe soon. Just keep on driving, don't stop the car. While I will give a call to my bodyguards. I am sure they would be here soon."
She said but the moment, she took her phone in her hands to make a call, Li Xue pulled the brakes of the car, parking it at a distance. Shen Bingling frowned. Looking confused, she turned to look at Li Xue. "What are you doing? Why did you stop the car? Quick, quick, start it again. We have to run. I will give the call until then." She said, finding the contact of her bodyguard, ready to give him the call.
But her movement paused again when she saw Li Xue pushing the door open to get down the car, regardless of her words and warnings. "Li Xue, what are you doing? Sit inside the car. It may not be safe outside. Wait until the rescue team reaches us." She didn't understand what she was up to. But since she was getting out, Shen Bingling followed her as well. After all, she was there with her. Leaving her alone in the problem would neither help nor would it look good.
While contrast to Shen Bingling's panicked feature, Li Xue on the other hand looked very confident. Getting out of the car, although she heard the princess's call from behind, she still walked towards the biker before looking deep into his eyes.
The person was there standing with his headgear over his head, so his face was not yet revealed but guessing from Li Xue's stance, it was sure that she knew who it was. Watching at him for a moment, when she didn't see him making any effort in revealing himself, she reached out to pinch hard on his waist.
"Are you done with your act? If yes, then I am still waiting for your explanation." She said as the man winced in pain. Shen Bingling was confused. At first, she was scared but when she saw Li Xue easily reaching out to pinch the stalker's waist, she was dumbfounded.
Quickly, reaching to her side, she asked, "Li Xue, what are you doing? Do you know this person?"
Li Xue stared at the person who was dressed in all biker's costume. "Don't be too shocked, Princess Shen, even you know him." She said before putting some more pressure on the pinch to ask, "Are you going to explain or should I put more force."
"Aye, aye, elder sister, leave my ears. It's hurting." He winced and this time from his voice, the princess could guess who it could be.
"You Jun!" Shen Bingling emphasized.
Li Xue smiled. Although it was confusing to guess at first, when her gaze caught sight of the familiar bike, she had no doubt left to understand who was behind the helmet actually. Letting go of his waist, she shook her head and demanded again, "Explain!"
The young prince removed his headgear before reaching to ease the skin of his waist, he grumbled in displeased tone, "What's there to explain? I just followed after you since you left me alone there."
"Left you alone? How old are you to follow the older around? Are you still a kid?" Li Xue couldn't understand and asked. This boy was getting more and more clingy to her, irrespective of his age now.
But Shin You Jun remained there all thick-skinned. "What's there to pin-point on my age? Did you forget that today I was the one who took you to the great hall in time? Since you have come with me, I must leave you back home safely. Furthermore, I heard from Ma that you have gone out to have your lunch. Why didn't you ask me for it?"
Li Xue heard him and couldn't help but purse her lips. Folding her arms over her chest, she asked, "Haven't you already had your lunch back there? Is there still a place left in your stomach to eat more?" At this moment, Li Xue couldn't bother more about his childish play. She was really feeling famished and if waited for more, she was sure to get embarrassed with the grumble of her empty stomach.
"Elder Sister, only an ascetic would have no place in the stomach while standing out The Little Eatery. And believe me, I am not one. When earlier, I heard you taking permission from mother to have lunch out, I left my plate there itself and ran to get myself ready for lunch with you two. It's just that I didn't know that your plans would be to come here. If I had known, I would have not touched the food there in the first place itself."
Shin You Jun said and dumbfounded at his words; Shen Bingling turned to stare at the lavish board of the restaurant. The Little Eatery. All this while, how did she fail to notice it. "Li Xue, you have booked the reservation here? How did you manage it? I have heard that they don't have room even if you book six months prior."
Li Xue knew that as well. But since she was once employed under Feng Internationals brand, this was one of the employee privileges she has received with her hard work. "Would tell that some other time. First of all, let's go in and check the menu." She said and curious, Shen Bingling nodded before following after her.
Shin You Jun's eyes shone as well as he also paced after his sister. He never lacked money, but some things were there that he knew could never come just with money. For those things, he needed to make an effort. Like making prior reservations. But since such great efforts weren't something in his books, he could only depend on his sister, like today. After all, since he got an elder sister, it would be more than better to get benefitted from her.
While the three went inside the restaurant, little did they know that something really hazardous was lurking for them outside? Although Shin You Jun had earlier brought a fake call of danger, in reality, the real danger was very close, waiting patiently for them to come.
Li Xue paused in her steps when she felt someone's gaze from behind. She turned to check from the glass mirror wall, but finding no one around, she could only shrug her thoughts off before resuming her walk. "Hello, we are here on our recent reservation. Please help us check our space." She said when a waiter reached them to ask with politeness.
