Chapter 591 Xi Ling Doesn't Want A Sibling?!

Xi Ying was seated in the living room with his son when his wife stepped out of the room with Yi Jie. His eyes immediately found her but with a mere glance, he couldn't help but frown.

It was not only he who looked like this. General Li also stepped forward when he saw his wife's eyes and face. He was sure that she had cried hard in front of Li Rui.

He didn't wish to say anything after whatever Xi Ying had said to him so he just took Yi Jie back to the room to have some rest.

Hence, only Li Rui, Xi Ying, and their son, Xi Ling were left in the living room.

Xi Ling happily got down from the couch when he saw his mother.

"Mother"

Li Rui smiled softly as she ruffled her son's hair who laughed happily. If it was someone else, then the small bun would have had a wrinkled face. However, it was his mother. He liked everything about his mother.

Xi Ying was silently standing at the same place looking at the mother-son interaction.

Xi Ling's black eyes were fixed on his mother.

A moment later, his smile disappeared and he held his mother's hand that was on his head. Looking at his mother's smile closely, he asked suddenly

"Mother, what happened?"

Li Rui's eyes were filled with confusion as she looked at her son and said

"Nothing, why is Xiao Ling asking this question?"

Xi Ling shook his head with a wrinkled forehead. His head was raised completely to look at his mother as he said

"There is something wrong with Mother's smile…"

Li Rui was startled while Xi Ying looked at his son with a smile on his lips. It seemed that he was not the only one who could see that something was wrong with Li Rui.

In fact, he also knew what exactly was wrong with her. However, he didn't really have anything to say to comfort her heart right now.

What could he say when he was the one who punished all of them…and when he didn't feel that he did anything wrong.

"Mother is fine."

Li Rui maintained the smile on her lips and assured her son. Seeing that he still looked suspicious, she told him

"Mother is just slightly tired."

"Oh…"

Xi Ling whispered with his lips curved in 'o'. He thought that his father was right. His mother was really tired. So tired that it could be seen from her smile.

Xi Ling frowned again.

"Mother didn't use to feel so tired before…it is all because of this baby here."

Xi Ling paused to think and then came up with a reason. His finger was not pointed towards his mother's stomach.

"If the baby makes Mother so tired then Xi Ling doesn't want any sibling."

"Xi Ling"

It was Xi Ling who called out his son's name in a cold voice. Xi Ling flinched when he heard it and turned around to look at his father with fear-filled eyes.

Xi Ying breathed deeply to calm down the anger he was feeling at Xi Ling's words when he saw this. Perhaps it was because of all he knew whatever happened yesterday, but he didn't like at all whatever Xi Ling said just now.

'He was just a child.'

Xi Ying said to himself inside his heart.

Li Rui was also surprised by his outburst. She looked at her scared son and patted his head lovingly as she told him to divert his attention.

"Xiao Ling should not say such words. What is the bay heard…won't he feel bad if he came to know that his elder brother doesn't want him?"

Xi Ling also looked deep in thought when he heard his mother's words. His mother was indeed right. His eyes flashed with anxiousness and panic.

"Mother that…Xi Ling was just worried for Mother. Xi Ling didn't want to hurt baby's feelings."

Xi Ling twisted the hem of his small robes as he said these words. His head was lowered indicating that he knew he said something wrong.

Standing behind him, Xi Ying sighed when he saw this. He stepped forward and picked up his son. Xi Ling was afraid that his father was still angry but he relaxed when he heard his father's gentle voice.

"Every child is like this, Xi Ying. Your sister is no different."

Xi Ling scrunched up his eyebrows wondering why his father was saying that it was his sister. He wanted a brother. However, he didn't dare to say it. He just asked the question, he was most curious about.

"Was Xi Ling also like this, Father?"

His big black eyes blinked at his father when he asked this. However,, the innocent question created an awkward atmosphere for Xi Ying.

After all, how could he answer his son's question when he was never there when Li Rui was pregnant with him.

Fortunately, Li Rui seemed to have understood his dilemma and stepped forward to tell her son.

"Your Father is right, Xiao Ling. Every child is like this. Mother feels tired too when mother had Xi Ling."

However, his mother's words only increased Xi Ling's curiosity.

He looked at his mother with a weird face and asked

"So Xi Ling also have been there before? But why does Xi Ling not remember it?"

Knowing very well that this was the time to stop his son, Xi Ying said

"Let's have dinner so that your mother can rest after that."

Sure enough, as soon as Xi Ling heard this, he nodded his small head vigorously and said

"Yes, Yes."

The three of them went to the dining room to have dinner while Li Hua also asked the staff to serve the dinner.

Tonight, General Li didn't come to the dining room with Yi Jie. Instead, he told Li Hua that he and Yi Jie will be having their lunch in the room only.

When Li Rui heard this, she went silent and didn't say anything.

The dinner passed in silence.
