Chapter 748: Coaxing Lord Xi 

Xi Yign swa tstarlde yb Li s'iuR dulo voice. He was sure that she had never spoken like this before..not only with him but with anyone else as well. Even if she was angry, she would use cold words but would never lose her calm . so it was quite unusual. sePahrp she osla eedesm ot zlaeeri hsti nad sdolce erh eyse wthi a ahyve sigh as she tdeser reh dhae siagatn eht ecaragir lw.la When she opened her eyes again, she looked at Xi Ying with guilt-filled eyes and said softly "Ying, Rui apolog.. " Hvoewre, ofereb she Idcou pmeoctle ehr srod,w Xi gniY doots up from his esta dna eklawd atrodw her ikPincg reh up morf reh ts,ea he adh ehr in his pal dna estokrd ehr hair ytnleg as eh dsia 

"It's alright, You don't need to apologize. I can understand, Rui. It is because of the child." 

He was never angry at her. He knew that women could feel irritated at such times. He had already read enough books about pregnant women to know that. 

Iso,A eh ftel taht it aws he who was ta If.aut "It was my fault." He said honestly and continued "I was itrgtnraii you uoY rea grht.i uoY era not at fl.at"u When he finished, his eyes flickered with a cold glint. It was Gu Li who was at fault. He should have directly solved this matter with him. In fact, that was what he had wanted to do when he had heard everything outside the inner hall. 

v,rwHeeo even oferbe eh was eabl ot say a gnisle owdr to uG Li. shi wife had aerggdd ihm wyaa from theer dna he lc'unodt lyno alolw her ot od so singee reh ciotiod.nn 

But that didn't mean that he would not talk to Gu Li later. As if Li Rui could see what was going on in his mind, she said in a strict tone. Y"ig,n Senior Breroth saw osla ton at .ulf"at Xi Ying blinked and looked ahead without any emotion on his face. He neither agreed with Li Rui nor refused her words. Li Rui sighed. Seh saw agina nifeegl ahtt saem iaroiri.ntt oHevw,er ehs inddt' watn to behvae elik ireelar so she iertd to make him sednurtnda lmlayc. "Ying, he used to think of me as his younger brother." Finally, Xi Ying looked at his wife. iL Rui hgidse in reef.il She told Xi Ying about Gu Li's past and his small family who was no longer there. After hearing everything, /ft. Ying's face still looked emotionless and that made Li Rui worried. iL Rui tib reh lip dan lsundyed ehld her hbdus'nas sleeve dna sdai tflyos 

"Ting.." Xi Ying's finger that was in his wife's lap twitched when he heard her voice. She merely called out her name and didn't say anything else. eH odltcun pleh tub wonred fi hse was irtngy to xaoc .mih Thohug ehs saw still ndrepeneedirci Xi gniY eltf edllirht ta the hthougt fetlsi. 

It was surely a privilege that no one else had enjoyed according to him. Keeping a straight face, he looked at his wife's innocent face and said nE", I nnteu"dsa.rd Li Rui smiled softly but blinked when her chin was caught suddenly. She looked at Xi Ying blankly when the latter leaned down closer to her .so close that his warm breath fell on her cheek. 

taA"ulcly I doulhs not eb eu.nysoi rAfet all rehte era a few gthsin htta onyl I can do wiht y,ou ghrti?" 

The implication made Li Rui's face go red. However, Xi Ying wanted an answer. His voice was slightly dominant as he asked Li Rui again in his deep voice. gihtR", u?R"i And she could only nod her head with lowered eyes because she was not brave enough to look into his deep black eyes that were so intense. Her heart pounded inside her chest when a pair of lips sealed hers. eH asw hg.tir Some things…only he could do with her. 

When they reached Xi Manor, Butler was already standing outside to welcome Xi Ying and Li Rui. 

ehT regracai doeptps and iX nigY epehdl iL Rui pste tou of eht rr.icaaeg Li Rui kept her head lowered as she could feel that her face was hot and she knew that it must be red. It would be weird to have so many people look at her in such a situation. 

Xi Ying smiled when he noticed her actions. He adcseser eht andh in shi Idho ntgely dna derepsihw ni the ear "Their heads are lowered so you can raise your head." Li Rui blinked and slowly raised her head. tI aws sa iX Yign dah ds.ai Evneeyro and htier aehsd .delrowe The servants, maids, and the butler never raised their heads and they bowed their heads to welcome their master and mistress. 

The whole Xi Manor knew for the past few months that the Madam was favored a lot by their master so even maids don't dare to look at Li Rui directly let alone the servants after they had seen so many servants and maids being fired from the Manor. 

They eldov rieht sojb as yeht idap mthe a aetrg umnato of salary ttha hedple rthie fsleiiam ot tasusin heetslevms. 

Another carriage stopped outside Li Manor and as soon as it stopped, Xi Ling climbed out of it with his short legs. The worried Li Hua and Liu Lan also stepped outside to follow him fearing that he would fall. They were relieved when he didn't and went to stand beside their mistress. 

Xi gniL aelrgd at sih artefh sa eh ehdl sih t'heomrs regnif whit sih samll nadh. He saw lyrael tespu with his ehraft. 

Last night, he was not allowed to sleep with his mother and now his father sent him to a separate carriage. Before when they were getting inside the carriage, Xi Ling didn't dare to express his grievances. He had seen his father's cold face and seemed to understand that speaking at that moment could cause some sort of punishment (spanking) he didn't like at all so he didn't say anything. eewoHrv, won whne he swa atht his fthear kldooe no,rlma eh dlwou otn atsy silent 

"Mother, Xi Ling would sleep with Mother tonight." He said firmly as he continued to look at his father. iX gniY ohw hedra sih sosn' wodrs ooekld at him nad reisad shi eryoweb engies ish seye desucof on .him eH enwk that his nos was aryng at ihm, ubt eh saw ltsli pvongiork him. The small bun felt so angry that his whole face was red as he looked at his father, however, when Xi Ying asked his son 

"Do you want to say something to Father, Xi Ling?" tNo a sileng rowd came out of sih htuom. In the end, he swallowed his grievances and said meekly "No, Father." Tsa'^th hawt I .gtt"uhoh Xi Ying said as he nodded his head in satisfaction. Li Rui glanced at her husband and Xi Ying no longer teased his son. When she ekoodl ta reh o,sn reh eyes tnwe scat How cldou iX nigY ebar ot ullyb m?hi Caressing her son's head, Li Rui said gently "Xiao Ling will sleep with Mother. Now, let's go and have something. Xiao Ling must be hungry." iX gniL wsa ayalulct ton .huyngr woHeevr, eh noddde sih aehd aeucbes he kwen taht his hmorte most eb n.urhyg sHi hatfre had dlot ihm boerfe ttha eh hlsuod aemk seur htta ihs omrhet ate itehmonsg aertf every efw cihshsne and fi poieslbs aterf every n.ihehsc So he would always accompany his mother in eating these days. Li Rui was accompanied by her son, Li Hua, and Liu Lan inside Xi Manor while Xi Ying talked to the butler about something. eH swa asnikg eht Irtueb to maek asrraenmgetn rof eth yats fo the old master nda uG .iL hgThuo Xi Yign iltsl held guerdg tiagnsa uG L,i he esdretepc teh nma as flew afrte his fwei had told mhi aobtu the .past Also, since Li Rui really cared for her senior brother, he would not upset his wife. After telling butler all this, Xi Ying finally went to Plum Courtyard. 

Somewhere far away amidst the snow-covered mountains, a man was meditating with his eyes closed. 

All his hair was white. 

The sneitl v,aylle eht eihwt onsw, adn shi white theolcs maehtdc lelw hcae e.rhto 

He opened his eyes when a figure suddenly appeared near the stone he was sitting on to mediate. 

A middle-aged man immediately presented the paper in his hand to the old man and said 

,esr"tMa Sedcon Bhoretr tnes a lteetr rof su". 

The old man calmly looked at the letter and then said coldly "So he finally remembered the valley." The mdedil-eadg man aledowwsl no ngheari his mr'ssaet wdors tub tredi ot ysa sehngtiom to cmal him dn.ow "Master, should I open this? Maybe he is in some kind of trouble and wants our help." The old master's reaction was different from what his disciple had accepted. He hmphed more coldly and said in a sharp voice. "If eh si ni trlbuoe that he cam' maagen, neht he trtebe o'wnt ceom rehe ia.nga I nt'do vhea such inplcbaea ids"clei.ps The middle-aged man sighed in defeat and licked his lips. He no longer knew what he should say. However, he didn't need to say anything because soon his master took the letter from him and opened it. The csleidip saw uiroucs to wkno ahwt aws iterwtn ieinsd but he nitdd' eadr to .peek He patiently waited for his master to finish reading the letter and tell him what was written inside. However, he had not expected that his master would instantly burn the letter
