"Mr. Su, we have already investigated the woman who will be partnering with you in the royal cultural show". The assistant informed the moment he saw the prince drawing enough close to hear his words. His hands working efficiently to hand over the water and towel to him.
As if haven't heard anything, Su Ce didn't foster any change in his expressions. Instead, he lazily wiped off the sweat from his face, neck and arms.
The assistant on his side also didn't spell the same things for the second time, rather he confidently waited for the crowd to clear up a little.
"Prince Su! Prince Su! When are you again be going to be back on the stage?" At that moment, a young belle group of four to five girls came running to his side with excitement on their faces.
Since the training arena still belonged to the royal properties, these young misses were all daughters from ministerial high-class families. The shine of their eyes could show how much attracted were they after this young prince whose talents were simply incomparable in the younger generation of the royal blood.
To their words, the prince's expression turned a bit playful as he answered, increasing the hype of his next coming words. "Did you guys already miss me so much? It has just been six months for me to take the rest and you all are asking like I have been not there for more than a half of the decade now".
"How can that be? We are just excited about your new work that's why came to ask"
"Yes, yes, Prince Su. It's because we are excited for the new theme this year"
Two girls defended their reasons while the other chimed following them as well.
As if that was something he was demanding to hear all this time, Su Ce's lips curled up in satisfaction. "If that's the case, then patience would be a good medicine for you all. Just wait to know everything about it". He said before waving off goodbyes nonchalantly and gesturing to his assistant to follow him out the training arena.
"Who is she?" The prince could not hold up for longer. Getting away from the crowd, he asked. His expressions, taking a complete turn of one-eighty degree. The playfulness got replaced with an extreme expression of seriousness. "Any special background?"
The assistant shook his head. "Nope, no special background, Mr Su. She is just a female model who is recently preparing for her comeback. Starting again from the scratch".
"Haha, Pei Biming, are you really asking me to believe that? Do you even believe it yourself?"
"Mr. Su that's all we have on the surface and ever after scratching for the depths, there is nothing substantial found within that could prove otherwise." The assistant said, knowing how hard it was to believe the things he was saying himself. But he also knew the things were suppressed in a way that none else could guess.
Su Ce suddenly chuckled with humour as he said, "No special background! Her association with the main royals could itself prove what her background must be capable of? Anyway, since things don't seem to be evident on the top at the moment, let's not go deeper into it. Sooner or later around her, we will get to know the facts and reality clearer."

On the side,
Li Xue was on her way back to Little Carnations. Her eyes staring at the news feed on her phone while her brows tugged together in a furrow.
Usually, she always had a way out from a problem, but this was the first time she was not much sure of this. Though this could be one of the easiest hurdles on her way yet at the moment, she was simply not getting my solution.
"Is there a problem?" Suddenly Feng Shufen on the side asked. Though he was working on his laptop all this time, he has not failed to notice the unusuality in her attitude.
When heard him ask, Li Xue could not help but turn to give a childish pout to him. Her gaze, demanding him to help her out but at the same time holding back thinking it to be a trivial matter in comparison to his work.
As if almost reading rightly all her thoughts, Feng Shufen didn't think much before closing his laptop first, then asking again with a gaze that seemed to have a paralytic effect. "What is it? Let me see." He said as he forwarded his hand to ask her phone to see.
Li Xue pursed her lips as she stared at the man for some time before giving her phone to him. This time she wasn't in the mood of holding a strong wall at the front and say that she could do it herself. Because of some reason, she felt lazy and tiresome for it.
Feng Shufen's eyes paused the moment it caught the picture on the phone screen of Li Xue. His grey eyes flashed with the hints of d.e.s.i.r.e but those thoughts came just with the mere flash and then disappeared like it was a mistake before.
"This is…"
"I was just playing around but in the end got myself entangled with something like this. Though this may look like nothing on the surface, given the approaching fashion launch it might affect it greatly. So, before that, we need to dispel all these happening online. We could ask the PR team to remove this thread itself but this link contains both goods and bad comments, so we don't choose to remove it. Do you think there is a way other than that?"
She explained it all before asking at the end. Her eyes, blinking with expectancy at the Devil. And just those gazes had the charms to make the man, go on his knees. Even if it would have been impossible, seeing her like that he would have paralleled the whole universe to get a way out.
