Chapter 333 - Li Chen Visits Xi Manor



The knock on the door interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere inside the room.

Xi Ying closed his eyes in despair and sighed in defeat while Li Rui also came out of her trance. She gulped and adjusted herself a little in Xi Ying\'s lap.

However, a sharp inhale from Xi Ying\'s mouth made her halt amidst her action. Xi Ying\'s eyes were now more intense as he looked at his wife. But this time they had helplessness and frustration also.

Li Rui\'s cheeks went red as she understood the reason behind it.

"Sorry"

She whispered in a low voice.

"Madam."

It was Liu Lan on the door and Li Rui recognized her voice.

Xi Ying face didn\'t look good because of being interrupted and he asked coldly

"What is it?"

Outside the room, Liu Lan gulped nervously on hearing the cold voice but nonetheless answered respectfully.

"My Lord, Madam\'s younger brother from Li Manor had come to meet Madam."

Inside the room, Xi Ying raised his eyebrows and then frowned after hearing the maid\'s words.

Li Rui\'s younger brother from Li Manor …then it must be Li Qiang\'s son Li Chen. But what was he doing here?

He looked at his wife and sure enough her face was cold and indifferent again.

Xi Ying knew why she looked like that and he didn\'t like it even a bit. He liked the Li Rui who smiled brightly, who went shy at his little touch, who gets easily embarrassed at his teasing.

Hell…even he liked the Li Rui who glared at him fiercely or when she killed that shadow guard ruthlessly.

But he didn\'t like Li Rui who hid her emotions behind her emotionless face.

It pained him to see her like this.

"You don\'t need to meet him if you don\'t want to."

He said firmly with a frown.

He had actually wanted to say that he would ask the maid to ask Li Chen to leave the Xi Manor. He didn\'t want Li Rui to see someone who had hurt her so much.

But Xi Ying also knew that he should not stop Li Rui if she wanted to see her brother.

So he could only say his words as a suggestion.

However, his words came out in a little firm manner as if he was ordering indirectly instead of suggesting something.

Perhaps it was because he had been used to talking to his shadow guards like this so Xi Ying no longer how one made a request or a suggestion.

He himself realized this and wanted to correct his words.

But before he could do so, he heard Li Rui speaking to him softly.

"Don\'t worry, I will just go there for a moment and hear what he had to say. Things like this no longer have any effect on me."

Xi Ying was relieved as well as happy to see that Li Rui didn\'t mind his words. But he was annoyed as well when he registered that she was going to see Li Chen.

However, he didn\'t oppose her decision but said firmly

"I will also go with you."

Li Rui didn\'t find anything wrong in this so nodded her head.

After that, Xi Ying helped her in getting down from his lap and immediately stood up from the chair. He was relieved to see that his clothes hid his reaction very nicely.

Hence with a cold and indifferent face, Prime Minister Xi stepped out of the room with his wife.

Even Li Rui was baffled seeing his sudden change.

Who in Xi Manor would even believe her if she said that he was completely opposite inside their room to this cold and indifferent image of his?

Li Chen was asked to wait in the living room by Liu Lan.

He felt very awkward and looked around the living room to reduce the discomfort. However, his gaze halted suddenly when he noticed a figure hiding behind a wall.

When the small figure peeked again at him, Li Chen finally recognized who it was.

It was his sister\'s son and his nephew, Xi Ling.

A smile grazed his lips when he noticed Xi Ling peeking at him again.

Li Chen had only seen Xi Ling once and that was when he had come to Li Manor with his sister and Xi Ying. He had especially liked the child very much at that time because his eyes looked too much like that of his elder sister.

Many people in Li Manor didn\'t know but since childhood, it was his deepest desire to become a strong man and then protect Li Rui. In fact, when Li Chen started to understand worldly things, he had this deep regret inside his heart that he was younger than Li Rui.

He wanted to become an elder brother.

However, when he had shared this wish with his elder sister, he was enlightened that Li Rui adored him so much only because he was his younger brother…the only younger brother before Yi Lei came.

"Come here"

He whispered slowly as he signed Xi Ling to come closer.

Xi Ling first looked at him with narrowed eyes. When he didn\'t feel any bad intent from the man\'s smile, he came out from his hiding place and walked inside the living room.

With his small legs, Xi Ling walked to stand a few steps away from Li Chen and looked at him curiously.

"Sir, are you here to meet my mother?"

Li Chen raised his eyebrows when he saw how polite Xi Ling was …just like an adult boy. He smiled and nodded his head.

"Yes, I am your mother\'s brother."

Xi Ling\'s eyes went wide for a moment with surprise before he nodded his head with a smile as he looked at Li Chen.

He seemed to have remembered this uncle from the time when he had gone to a huge Manor with his mother and father. However, since no one ever introduced him to this uncle, he didn\'t know who he was. But today, he came to know that the uncle was none other than his mother\'s brother.

Xi Ling remembered how his father had taught him to greet elders and he was about to greet Li Chen in the same manner when he heard his mother\'s voice.

"Xiao Ling."
