"Madam, we are here." Du Fan announced, parking the car just in front of the palace.
Li Xue looked around and her head instantly shook in denial, "Mr. Driver, this is not the place where you should park the car from today." She said and in confusion, Du Fan looked back at her.
"I mean Mr. Driver, today is different. I have come here for my job and this area is only accessible for guests and royal family, which is not suitable for me considering the purpose for which I am here."
She said and Du Fan at once understood what she was saying about. "I am sorry, Madam. I will right away park it in the right parking area." He said and was about to start the engine, but once again Li Xue stopped him.
"Wait, Mr. Driver. We will walk from here. You can take the car to park after we leave." She said, giving a smile while checking the time. "It's already late and I couldn't afford more on the first day."
Du Fan nodded in understanding. And Li Xue pushed the door open to step out. Xiao Meng also wanted to follow after her, but there were still many things she had to arrange, so Li Xue calmly asked her to take her good time. "MengMeng, I wait for you at the spot. Arrange everything and then come." She said and then pushing the door closed, she left.
Behind, Xiao Meng looked over everything, and right after some time, she was ready to leave. But just when she was about to open the door to step out, she felt she was no longer at the same place. Her brows tugged in confusion and she turned back to ask Du Fan.
But as if to solve her confusion, she didn't need to ask him. Before even she could put her question forward, the driver already explained it to her. "Don't get anxious. I have only brought the car to park at the designated space. From here, it would be easy for you to find Madam."
He said, gesturing for her to look at the distance where Li Xue was still walking.
"Ohh." Xiao Meng nodded. And was about to rush out to reach Li Xue quickly. But her movements paused to look back at Du Fan. "By the way, how do you know that I got anxious?"
Du Fan smiled. "It was simply written on your face. When I saw you, I understood." He said honestly and his words instantly made Xiao Meng blush.
"Oh, I understand. Okay, I will leave then. Thank you." She said, not even understanding for what she was thanking him. She just wanted to show her gratitude, so she did.
"Ms. Xiao!" Just when she was about to leave after closing the door, Du Fan halted her. Hearing his call like that, the girl bent a little by his window.
"Yes, Mr. Du? Is there something?"
Du Fan wanted to shake his head and let her go. But the next moment, he suppressed his that one urge to put forward a concerned request. "Please stay a bit cautious inside. The rules of the royals are quite strict and …"
"I understand Mr. Du. Don't worry I won't let Sister Xue worry about me." She said and then giving a smile, she left. Behind Du Fan was a bit dumbfounded. Though Xiao Meng has understood his concern well, there was still some in between his words that she missed.
While on the other side, Li Xue took her time to walk inside. As informed prior, today's schedule was arranged in the garden, and from a distance itself, she could hear the voices of people coming.
"Sister Xue, wait for me. Sister Xue!" Calling from behind, soon Xiao Meng caught up with the pace of Li Xue. Though she had to run at her best speed, it was lucky that she didn't let Li Xue enter the area alone. Lin Xinyi has strictly asked her to follow her everywhere around.
Since the project was quite different from what Li Xue was usually accustomed to, Lin Xinyi was quite concerned about her comfort. Although she was aware that the girl was adaptive to every environment, not every time she wanted her to be adaptive to things.
So, to ensure her comfort, she has asked Xiao Meng to follow her everywhere around. Especially when Li Xue would be meeting other traditional models.
Hearing Xiao Meng's call from behind, Li Xue paused before turning to look. "Why are you running, Meng Meng? Didn't I ask you to take your time? I would have waited for you inside there." She said and Xiao Meng shook her head while trying her best to catch her breath.
"Sister Xue, m-my one of the main works is to follow you around. I-If I skip it even for the minutest second, Sister Xinyi might get upset with me and I would be at a tough spot then."
Li Xue shook her head at her words and didn't bother to ask for more. "Fine. Since you are already by my side now. Let's get inside the garden together. That way Sister Xinyi won't be upset with you." She said and cheerfully, the little assistant nodded before walking after her.
"By the way Sister Xue, from your earlier talks with Mr. Du, I felt like this was not your first visit here. Have you been here before as well?"
Li Xue smiled and then nodded. "Yes, I have been here a few times. But …"
Before she could even complete, suddenly a coke-can rolled up to her feet, following an elegant voice but quite arrogant voice next. "Hey, can you get me that coke can first?"
Li Xue's eyes trailed to look at the metal can down her feet before looking at the woman whose voice was enough to raise the suspicion in her heart. Quite a few girls were standing behind her but just in a glance, she could tell who was the one to ask before. She stared at her but didn't make any movement in accordance with the request.
Seeing Li Xue not responding, Xiao Meng was about to help out. But just when she was about to bend down to pick it up, Li Xue stooped her. "Meng Meng, you don't have to."
"What do you mean by that?" When saw Li Xue getting arrogant, the woman asked rudely, sending glares in the direction
