Li Xue could no longer wait for Su Ce to make a move. As the time was passing, she was feeling anxious. And before she knew she was already on the edge when she heard Old Su announcing to her father that it was time for him to give up.
Nope, it won't be that easy. Not until she is on the side of her family. Li Xue thought to herself before her eyes turned to look at Old Su to say, "The poll is not yet over. There is still someone yet to choose their side, Mr. Su."
She said and people along with Old Su turned to look at her in confusion. Chen Rui also didn't get what the girl was saying. She looked around and could see that everyone had chosen their sides and not even one was remaining. But she didn't say anything to refute the girl's words. She wanted to see what the girl was up to.
Shin You Jun was also perplexed at her words. Scooting over to the side of his sister, he asked, "Hey, what are you saying? There is no one left. Who are you referring to? Are you saying all this to buy time? Or are you including yourself in this? If you are including yourself, let me tell you until you legally sign your name on our family registration book, you can't be counted in."
Li Xue looked at the boy on her side and didn't say anything. She then turned to look at Shin Tingming and Chen Rui and repeated her words again. "There is still someone who hasn't taken a poll. You can't give up before that." She said and tugging her brows in confusion, Chen Rui asked from the man's side.
"Who are you referring to, Xiao Xue?" She asked and then looked around.
"Are you counting yourself?" Right after Chen Rui's words, Old Su from the side interrupted with a mocking chuckle. That chuckle was enough to instigate anyone's nerves, but it didn't work on Li Xue as at that moment, for that old man, she was feeling nothing but pity. Although the man seemed confident about his success now, he would only be receiving the disappointment in the end.
She was confident in the results, not because she was sure of Su Ce choosing the right path. But because she knew even if he didn't choose it as her plan, she would just have to leak the video to the people in the hall to prove his character to be incompetent for the throne. And that would be enough to do.
It was just that she was not planning to get on the harsh things at the very first. It was always wise to keep your ace hidden in your hand.
"Mr. Su, you must have gotten me wrong. How could I include myself in all this? I might be new in the family, but I have grown up in this country itself. I know the basic rules of how our country runs, and the royal laws can't be poles apart from it. So not until I get registered on the family book, I won't be counted in." Li Xue said and her voice came softly with needed politeness laced to it.
Although in her statement there was not the tiniest hint of offense, still Old Su felt nothing more but offense made to him in her words. Gritting his teeth, he swallowed his pride and laughed. "If that's so, who are you talking about? I don't find anyone still left to choose the side, little girl." He said and his words brought a smile to Li Xue's expression.
Her beauty enhanced as the curl rose on her lips, bringing a shine of blush to her cheeks. People looked her way and paused for a moment. Even Shen Bingling at the distance was speechless. Although she knew Li Xue was beautiful, she never thought that her beauty could turn people speechless occasionally. Furthermore, it was not the makeup that was doing the charm. She knew it was her natural beauty that was impeccable enough to reach the peak without people's knowledge.
While everyone was stunned by her smile, Su Ce was no different. His eyes were also on Li Xue, noticing her sides of beauty from every side. For a moment, even he felt his heart pausing its beat before suddenly starting beating faster again.
Li Xue didn't notice what chaos her little smile brought over the people. Her focus was solely focused on one thing, so without getting bothered by anything other, she just looked at Old Su and said, "Mr. Su, you have forgotten no one else but your own son. He has yet to give his poll. After all, isn't he also a member of the royal family?"
People didn't understand, and neither did Chen Rui. But Shin Tingming stood there all composed as if he was sure of the things his daughter was doing.
Old Su frowned as she turned to look at his son shortly, before turning back to look at Li Xue to ask. "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is very simple. It's just that you all have just ignored it all this while that you have failed to notice it." Li Xue said before turning to look at her father. "Pa … I mean His Majesty has clearly chosen his own side while proposing this whole poll thing, so it's fair for him to stand by this side, while on your side, it has been you doing the things on the stance of your son. So, taking the opinion about the whole thing from Prince Su is still left. The poll is not yet completed as he is yet there to give his vote."
She said and even though what she said sounded weird, it was still valid logic to say. People can refute it. But what change could it bring? After all, wouldn't Su Ce choose to be the king? All this time, almost everyone knew about his motive.
Even valid, people didn't think it could make any change. But Li Xue was still adamant about her words. With her phone in her hand, she turned to ask Su Ce, very politely, "So, Prince Su, who do you decide to vote for? Yourself or His Majesty?"
She asked and with her words like that, Old Su grew a bit anxious. For the first time in a while, he felt that the girl was up to something he was unknown of.
"Su Ce, what are you waiting for? Choose it now." The old man said, fisting his hand on the side.
Su Ce looked at Li Xue. People might not know the reason behind her smile but he knew what she was smiling for. She wasn't smiling actually, rather she was threatening him.
But was there any choice for him? Nope, he didn't have a choice. Either way, he won't be getting the throne today. He would be losing face as well. So, in the end, he decided to save his character among people. Standing up, he said with much seriousness in his expression. "I would like to vote for His Majesty. No one would be able to care for the throne and its responsibilities better than him."
He said as Li Xue's lips tugged on one corner in a smirk.
Except for her, everyone else in the room was stunned. None expected it to turn like this. Wouldn't this mean that Shin Tingming still won with the full majority? Since Su Ce chose to switch sides, it turned all his votes to the side of Shin Tingming as well? After all, if the person considers himself incompetent, there could be no way anyone could force him up on the throne.
