"Xi Ling, do you feel anything abnormal with your body?"

Xi Ling was confused at his father's question. However, he was still angry about getting spanked so he didn't answer his father's question and turned his face sideways and folded his arms on his chest.

With a pout on his lips and red cheeks, he looked too cute as he stood like this.

Liu Lan who was standing at the door of the living room with other maids although couldn't hear the conversation going on between father and son..she felt her heart melting at Xi Ling's antics.

Xi Ying, on the other hand, was again angry seeing his unresponsive son.

His arms came forward to hop his son on his shoulder again and then start a new round of spanks. However, it seems that Xi Ling had already known what his father was thinking of doing so he immediately stepped back with a face full of fear and anger.

"Father can't hit Xi Ling again at that place?"

He pointed his small finger at his father as he said this with a red face.

historical

Xi Ying raised his eyebrows in surprise as well as amusement.

"And what makes you think that?"

Xi Ling's big black eyes narrowed as he looked at his father. It made Xi Ying smile because it was something he did when he was thinking deeply.

A few moments later, Xi Ling still couldn't find anything to threaten his father, however, just when he was about to accept defeat, his eyes brightened and he shouted out loud

"Mother..I will complain to Mother that you hit me, Father."

Xi Ying's face went black when he heard his son's words.

The brat was threatening him with his own wife now!

All the love and guilt that Xi Ying was feeling for his son suddenly vanished away. He couldn't help but laugh in anger as he tried to grab his son, however, the brat stepped away immediately.

At this moment, a peal of melodious laughter rang through the living room.

The laughter made Xi Ying as well as Xi Ling freeze at their spots. As if both of them recognized the laughing person, they followed the direction of the sound with eager eyes.

On the other door of the living room that led to the inside of the courtyard stood Li Rui as she laughed heartily while looking at the duo staring stupidly at her currently.

Her laughter calmed down a little bit when she looked at Xi Ling and Xi Ying again, she laughed loudly again as she clutched her stomach while shaking her head from time to time.

A deep smile made its way on Xi Ying's lips as he stared at the laughing woman with eyes that were full of love, surprise, and possessiveness.

His heart was beating fast inside his chest as if it would come out at any moment.

It was the first time he had seen his Rui laughing so openly.

He couldn't help but want to capture this memory in his brain forever.

"Mother looks so beautiful.."

Xi Ling who was staring at his mother in a daze couldn't stop himself from whispering.

While at the other end of the living room, Li Hua who had been helped by a maid to go and visit Li Rui once stared at her mistress.

Her lips had a smile and her eyes were filled with tears. With quivering lips, she murmured as a tear slid down through her cheek

"My Young Miss can finally laugh so freely.."

Even the other maids who had been standing beside Li Hua looked in some kind of daze.

The laughing Li Rui had that effect. She was already very beautiful. A very beautiful face that couldn't help but make people want to steal a few glances at her every few moments.

And the following words were never a lie.

A laughing fairy can make people stupid with her beauty.

It was after a whole minute Li Rui could stop herself from bursting into another round of laughter.

Everyone came out of their trance.

However, Xi Ying was dissatisfied. He wanted to see the laughing Rui more. So he looked at his son and stepped forward to grab him again.

If their stupid interactions made her laugh, then let it be like that.

Xi Ling who also came out of his trance was looking at his mother with a silly smile on his face when he suddenly noticed his father's hand coming towards him.

The smile vanished from his lips and he immediately ran towards his mother.

Li Rui had also been stepping inside the living room. She was surprised when she saw her son hiding behind her, however, when she Xi Ying's forwarded hand in the direction where Xi Ling was standing before she understood something and smiled again.

Hiding behind his mother, Xi Ling peeked at his father and said

"No..Father, I will tell Mother if you hit me again and then she will hit you at the same place."

Xi Ying laughed wickedly at his son's threat at this time and looked at his wife

"Well..I would be more than happy if she will do that."

Xi Ling looked confused while the maids standing at the other end of the living room blushed as well as laughed.

Li Rui, on the other hand, glared at her husband fiercely for saying such words in front of their son. However, her cheeks were burning red showing just how embarrassed and shy she was feeling after hearing Xi Ying's words.

How could a dignified prime Minister of such a big empire behave so shamelessly this in front of his son!

Li Rui could not help but wonder inside her heart.

She then looked down at her son who was looking at his father with a confused face.

"Xiao Ling, did you have lunch?"

She patted her son's head as she asked him this question to divert his attention from her father's words.

Fortunately, Xi Ling paid more attention to her mother's words and soon forgot what his father said. A full smile lingered on his lips as he shook his head innocently and told his mother.

"No, Mother. Xiao Ling was waiting for Mother."

Li Rui smiled at his words and then asked Liu Lan to bring some food for Xi Ling.

The young prime minister, on the other hand, looked at the duo with narrowed eyes silently angered at the fact how easily the mother and son had forgotten his existence inside the room.
