<h4>Chapter 1212 Change of heart.</h4>


    As Shen Bingling walked with Shin You Jun, she kept looking back at Li Xue, still reluctant to leave her with Prince Su alone. She was upset when Su Ce didn''t notice her but it was kind of a surprise that for that reason, she didn''t hate Li Xue. Instead, she was simply focused to take her away with her.


    "Why is she like this today? Didn''t she say that she has no interest in Prince Su? Why is she then staying back alone with him? What''s there to talk about between them?" Suddenly pausing her steps at a distance, Shen Bingling grumbled, stomping her foot on the ground.


    And hearing her say that, Shin You Jun as well stopped to look back at her. His brows tugged in a frown as he asked in a tone of disbelief, "Wait, what did you say?" He asked and it was clear that he didn''t like whatever he heard.


    Shen Bingling was one of his closest cousins, so she never feared the tantrum of the boy. Even if something goes wrong, she has just to walk to the queen and confess it straight to her. And she believed everything would get fine.


    So, when she heard his displeased tone, she simply pouted and gestured to him to look back in the direction where Li Xue had been standing with Su Ce. "See, I just feel that Li Xue would not look good with Prince Su. Both of them deserve someone who wouldplement their personalities and charms. But they both look so dashing together that they have topete with each other instead ofplementing."


    Shin You Jun didn''t even care to turn and look in the direction where Shen Bingling asked him to look. Instead, he just stared at her, pursing his lips as if he had heard her saying something that didn''t make sense.


    When Shen Bingling felt his gaze at herself like that, she turned to ask, "What? Why are you looking at me like that? Have you gone crazy?"


    "It''s not me but you, who have gone crazy. From which angle did you think that she would fall for that good-for-nothing prince? If you are crazy after him, it doesn''t mean the world would also be the same. And even if the world goes the same as you, my Elder Sister would be thest one to follow that stupid trend." He said and his confidence like that pleased Shen Bingling.


    She felt relieved but still, catching the sight of Li Xue standing with Su Ce cringed her. So, to get herself morefortable in believing what Shin You Jun has said, she asked, "If you want me to believe your words, how would you exin their talk right now? Why does Li Xue have to stay back there to talk with him alone?"


    "Who is asking you to believe me? If you don''t want to believe. Then it''s fine, be that way but at least don''t spread rumors meaninglessly. Otherwise,ter either you won''t be able to take the consequence or your Prince Su." Shin You Jun said, before turning to leave. "We had enough time here, outside. Now, let''s go in first."


    He said and was about to step forward to head inside but, right at that moment, Shen Bingling came forward to obstruct his way. "Wait, I won''t allow you to go inside until you say what do you mean by those words?" She asked and almost feeling tired of her, Shin You Jun pinched the space between his brows.


    "What can I mean? I just wanted to warn you against theing consequences, if by mistake, your such asinine thoughts reach out to Devil''s ears. He may not like it and when he doesn''t like it, he does not give the world a chance to exin."


    "Devil?"


    Shin You Jun nodded, before looking at Li Xue at a distance. "Yes, a very handsome devil that surpasses the looks and capabilities of your crush a hundred times. Don''t take him lightly. He is very possessive of my sister. He may not like to hear your stupid stories like that."


    He said and Shen Bingling felt all confused at his words. "Devil? As in real devil?" She asked and Shin You Jun really wanted to m his head on the wall.


    "Argh! The Devil is the only personification that I am using here. Can''t you understand? Anyway, even though you don''t understand, think about it after getting inside. For now, let''s walk. I won''t want to get another scolding from my sister." He said before walking inside. While Shen Bingling stood there for a moment, looking at Li Xue at a distance.


    Then, was it truly real when Li Xue said that she had a boyfriend already? And she doesn''t want to seek others? That seemed a lot valid after hearing Shin You Jun confirm that. But then again, who was the Devil that he was talking about? And if he is the Devil, why does Li Xue even have to be with him?


    While Shen Bingling had another story to ponder in her head, Li Xue was there staring at Su Ce. Her gaze not for once faltering.


    Su Ce when looked at her like that, something moved in his heart. But not realizing it exactly, he instead said, carrying his yful tone as usual, "Princess, you didn''t greet me the morning back. Do you not wish me to have a good morning today?"


    He asked and Li Xue''s lips just tugged up on one corner to form a smirk. As shaking her head, she said, "It''s not that I don''t want you to have a good morning, Prince Su. Rather it''s like I know you won''t have a good morning today?"


    Su Ce''s expression changed but he was quick to go back to his usual self. "Aiyah! That sounds deep. Did your heart start getting concerned for me, Princess? If you have a change of heart, I won''t mind forgetting all your rejections up until now. We can begin it all over again."


    He said, and Li Xue uncontrobly felt an urge to grit her teeth. But keeping a hold on herself, she smiled deeper to nod. "Exactly! You got it right Prince Su, you are in dire need of starting your life all over again. Because if you remain adamant in living the life you have now, I doubt if you would even have a face to enter inside the great hall and face all the rtives there inside."


    She said and Su Ce chuckled at her words. But hisughter faltered when he saw Li Xue still smiling with confidence on her lips. She was the first woman he ever met who could make him lose all his confidence just with that pretty smile. That confidence of hers was so strict that it could easily melt anyone''s confidence into water.


    Although Su Ce has never lost his confidence; in front of her, he felt it hard to keep it for longer. Her amber eyes not just looked fierce, but for a moment it felt like she could look through all the dirty secrets that he had kept hiding from the world. "What do you mean?"
