Du Fan said. He has his reasons and he doesn't want to bend those this time. Facing the rage and blame from Young Master would still be an easy thing for him, but how would he rest in peace if with him around, once again the lady gets harmed.

Li Xue doesn't know what to say more. "Mr. Driver, I won't say that you would be a disturbance for me there. But more like, you might get bored inside. Why now wait to form me here itself."

Du Fan didn't speak a word at first but then pausing for a moment, he said, "Madam if you command me to not follow you inside, I can't overstep my boundaries and reject your order. I would follow your words but please understand my stance as well. Take this as the humble request that this menial driver is asking you. Let me follow you inside. Please!"

He said, keeping his head down in regard. Li Xue looked at him like that and pouted her lips slightly. She has no words now to refuse his request, especially after hearing him say all of it like that.

So, in the end, she agreed, "Fine, follow me in then. But later don't blame me if something unusual and out of surprise comes to you. I will try my best to save you but since I am taking you in a personal meeting, I don't know how long I would be able to save you for Xiao Meng." Li Xue said, quirking her brow in the doubt of her own words before taking her walk finally inside the restaurant.

Du Fan didn't understand that warning as well. But he had no time to think about it right now. His duty was calling him so without wasting more than five seconds on thinking about the lady's words, he made his way inside, following Li Xue from behind.

Since Li Xue had something serious to discuss with Shen Bingling, Gao Fan had been thoughtful to book a private room in their name. Entering the restaurant, a waitress greeted Li Xue before leading them more inside in the direction of the booked private space.

Reaching the door, the waitress was about to open it as well, but from behind Du Fan interrupted to pause her. "It's okay, you can go. I will assist Madam inside." He said with an intention in his eyes which made the waitress walk away immediately. And once she left, he reached out to open the door for her.

"Madam!" He said, requesting Li Xue to walk in first. To which, she just smiled before getting inside the room.

Just as she entered, her eyes caught the sight of Shen Bingling, sitting alone at the round table with a cup of tea in front of her.

"Princess Shen!" Li Xue greeted first before adding more, "I hope I have not kept you waiting for long."

She said and saw the woman turning up to look at her. Shen Bingling's eyes moved first to look at her neck where she remembered the strike of weapon from the last time. "I see your wound has perfectly recovered without leaving much of scar. I never thought it to recover this soon and that too like this."

Li Xue smiled before walking to get her seat just across her while Du Fan came to stand just behind her. "Me as well. But I am not surprised since I knew my cell constitution is like that. No cuts or injury ever left any mark on me until it was an injury I had on my bare heart. But anyway, thanks to traditional medicine as well. It worked well."

"Really?" Shen Bingling saw the smile over Li Xue's lips and felt a twist in her nerves. "And here I almost thought that the injury could be a plan of yours just to kick me out from the team." She said out blatantly, not even once thinking to hide the emotions she was feeling in her heart.

If it would have been anyone else, they would have been offended hearing the cruelty in her words, but Li Xue only smiled as if more than offended she was impressed with the girl.

And she was impressed with that bluntness of the princess. As that bluntness of her nature only proved one thing; if the girl were pricked, she wouldn't hide and attack. Instead, she would come out all clear as she did now.

And having an enemy in clear light was better than having one in dark.

"Shouldn't I be the one blaming you for harming you, Princess Shen? After all, I was the one who got hurt by the sharp weapon. How is it going the other way round?" Li Xue questioned holding a pricky smile over her lips.

Shen Bingling's fingers clenched on the table as looking at Li Xue with hostility, she asked, "You still dare to say that on my face? It's clear that in the whole scenario, it's me who has just suffered. How can you blame me after playing something so big on me?" She almost yelled, but seeing Li Xue not even once flinching from it, she felt like her all efforts and words are going to waste.

Li Xue understood her complications. And treating her like that was not in her plans, so coming up the one taking the lead in the conversation, she said, "Princess Shen, you are accusing me of such big play, but did you forget that I was also the one who got the hurt and loss from all of it? Why would I do something that would put me in pain? If kicking you out would be my intention, I might have had several other ways to reach it. Also, why would kicking you out be one of my intentions?"

"You were jealous of me." Shen Bingling sneered and Li Xue chuckled at her reason. But then, nodding, she thought to accept.

"Fine, you believe it that way. I was jealous of you. But then too, what of that jealousy? I was assigned as the chief female model in the project, kicking you out would have served no benefit to me, rather to others. And why should I take the pain for the benefit of others? It's not like they were my friends. So?"

She said, perfectly sowing the seed of suspicion in the heart of the woman. Shen Bingling's expressions changed as she heard her. A dilemma about the things became evident in her eyes as she asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Xue smiled deepened as she paused to lean forward to take the glass of water before comfortably leaning back to sip from it, before saying, "What I mean to reveal is that on the day of the accident in the fencing arena, someone has taken the initiative to tamper with my shoes."
