Chapter 966 - Was He Improving His Ways?
Pei Biming hesitated at first but then looking at the man, he said, "Though we are not sure of this information, sir, still we doubt that the marriage isn\'t simple."
Hearing his secretary report that Su Ce nodded while nonchalantly sipping on his wine. Like he was not at all surprised hearing that. And Pei Biming was quite surprised to see his such attitude.
Was he wrong to sense the prince\'s interest in the woman? If not, then why was he at such ease hearing about her? Did he not hear him?
"Sir, I was saying that …" Thinking the slightest possibility of not being able to hear his words earlier, the poor secretary was about to repeat the same but right at the time, he got interrupted smoothly.
"Li Xue has been the first one to surprise me even before I met her and also when I met her. I have already believed her to be full of surprises. So, no matter what I hear of her now or tomorrow, I believe it could no longer shock me." Su Ce said then downing all from her goblet in one go, he looked at the distance with a smile to add more of his thoughts.
"Even if tomorrow it gets revealed that the woman is one of us, the royals, I wouldn\'t be surprised since her attitude does seem like one of us. Like a stubborn princess of the palace who knows well to both ride the horse to the battlefield and also to carry herself in elegance to a royal banquet."
He said as his eyes showed a shine of confidence in the words he has spoken. Su Ce didn\'t know if he was looking at the lady in a positive light or was just enjoying his playtime with her. But one thing was sure the woman was enough to keep him and his thoughts all captivated around her.
Su Ce\'s lips tugged up in a smile as thinking of her like that, he turned back to get another refill of glass while ordering his secretary, "Continue! Why are you taking such a long pause? Don\'t you know I don\'t like too many cliffhangers?"
He said and coughing to clear his throat, the secretary didn\'t delay more to say the rest. "Sir, as I said before. The marriage doesn\'t seem simple. Some of our men showed doubt that they have faintly heard a few officials talking that recently, His Majesty and Her Highness have approved someone\'s elite marriage agreement. So maybe it was in the favor of President Feng and Ms. Li Xue."
He said and the mention of an elite marriage agreement halted the prince in his action. But that was just for a moment. Another moment it was all as before. He sipped and heard everything but except for giving a smirky smile, he had nothing else in response.
"Interesting! Was that all or is there something else you got to know about her." Once saw his secretary finally giving a pause, Su Ce asked as if he was yet not gotten bored of hearing him. And that was something different today in his attitude.
He was never been a tolerable person for long chats. That\'s why whenever it was about some report, the secretary would give necessary heed to shorten it before presenting to him. But today even after repeating the same details of the lady twice, he was surprised to find the man still so interested and at ease.
"Sir, Ms. Li Xue is under the care of Mr. Feng Shufen\'s men. So, it\'s hard to get to know more about her, but our men are trying. I am sure soon we will be able to know more."
Nodding, Su Ce agreed. "Keep going! It\'s interesting to know that woman. Even if it\'s little, it is worth it. So don\'t hold back." He said, turning to give a mysterious smile to Pei Biming and then paused a while to ask something else. "By the way, when is the schedule of the Royal Cultural club beginning? Shouldn\'t be begun by now?"
"It is scheduled to start from the day after tomorrow but in the afternoon, we received a call from the secretary of Her Highness to discuss the change in it. It\'s postponed for now and will only begin from next week." Pei Biming reported as he had heard. He didn\'t think more as the postponement of schedules was simple and often happens.
But at the front, Su Ce understood something in between the sudden change of plans. "Seems like Her Highness is really very considerate to Ms. Li. She even postponed the schedule so it doesn\'t disturb her preferences. Isn\'t that quite different of her?" Tugging his lips in a smirk, he commented like it was something that he really appreciated but at the same time held a suspicion on it.
Pei Biming was confused at first, unable to understand what the man was intending to say in the first place. But when pondering on it, he brought the pieces together, he got to understand what it was all about. "Sir, do you want me to look into it?" He asked feeling a little incompetent. How did he not notice t before?
Su Ce shook his head as getting up he walked to the side of his secretary with his goblet in one hand. Patting over his shoulders, he said, "There is no need. Let\'s just pretend to be a bystander, for now, to understand things well. I am sure soon everything would be out for good on its own. There is no need to waste our efforts. Just enjoy the time of peace and ease of the moment and prepare for this year\'s cultural project. I am sure Her Highness must be holding high expectations this time."
"Yes, sir!" The secretary nodded in agreement, before getting to remember something that he has forgotten to report amid everything else. "I am sorry, sir. I almost forgot to tell you something. This year the Crown Prince would be handling the things of the Cultural Club." He said and that was another piece of news that amused Su Ce to his core.
Crown Prince! Wasn\'t he too lazy and stubborn to learn things? Was he improving his ways now?
