His Rui

The young Prime Minister stood there with a black face as he looked at the small figure in front of him.

He remembered that he had not locked the door when he had gone inside the room with Li Rui thinking that no one will dare to enter without permission. However, he forgot that his three-year-old son Xi Ling also lived in this courtyard.

On the other hand, Xi Ling also raised his head and looked at his father. He frowned when he saw that his father didn't have a good face.

His small bun-shaped face wrinkled more after thinking this.

Folding both of arms on his small chest, he stared at his father and said

"Father, the kind of face that you have at this time…it is something that Xi Ling should have at this moment."

Xi Ying raised his eyebrows. Seeing how his son was behaving, he confirmed that Xi Ling didn't hear or see anything that he should not have seen and felt relieved.

Putting a note inside his heart silently that he should be careful in the future, Xi Ying finally concentrated on what his little son had just said.

"Oh …why so?"

Folding his arms on his chest, Xi Ying imitated his son's posture amusingly and asked

Xi Ling seemed to have understood that his father was making fun of him. He got angrier but he didn't put his arms down. He instead stared at his father in the same posture.

Xi Ying's amusement only increased with time.

Remembering how General Li had told him about Li Rui's naughty acts in her childhood, he wondered if his Rui was also this cute during her childhood.

A moment later, he denied his words and corrected them silently

'She must be cuter than their son.'

Xi Ying smiled as imagined the little Li Rui in his mind and walked forward with both of his hands down now. Xi Ling saw that his father was walking ahead so he hurriedly moved forward. However, he also saw that now his father had stopped imitating his posture and felt very satisfied because he thought that it was because he had won against his father in that one-sided staring competition just now.

However, it also made the proud him not to put down his hands from his chest because then he thought all of his hard work would go in vain.

So even though he was facing difficulty in stepping forward with his small legs because his two small hands were placed on his small chest, he didn't put them down.

On the other hand, Xi Ying who had long forgotten his own son only remembered Xi Ling when he heard his voice filled with annoyance.

"Father, this is wrong. You stole mother from me. Mother promised me that she will spend some time with me. Mother never breaks her promise. It must be you who had made her not go to me."

Xi Ying frowned when at the end of his sentence, Xi Ling started to shout almost.

He turned around and reprimanded Xi Ling in a low voice but strictly.

"Your mother is sleeping. Lower down your voice."

Xi Ling pouted as he glanced towards the door of her mother's room. A moment later, Xi Ying sighed and then told his son in a little soft tone

"Xi Ling, your mother didn't sleep yesterday for the whole night. Father and Mother were lost in the forest."

Xi Ling pout vanished and his big black eyes went a little wide as he looked at his father.

"Forest …Father is it big like the books say? So big …that even Father and mother got lost?"

Xi Ying's eyes were filled with curiosity and twinkle ...something that a child of his age will have usually whenever he wants to know something about very desperately.

However, his chattering also started at the time when he was most curious.

"Father, doesn't the forest have a cave also? Xi Ling had seen them in the books?"

"Father did you not find a cave?"

"Father, then Xiao Ling should let mother sleep."

"Father, just how big the forest was?"

Xi Ying silently stared at his chattering son. His lips twitched when he saw that he was not stopping for even a moment.

He wondered again just how he birthed such a chattering boy.

He suddenly wanted to see just how much this brat had the capacity to chatter so he didn't stop him at all. However, a moment later, warmness flickered in Xi Ying's eyes.

Xi Ling's questions were not only based on his curiosity but he was worried about his mother also. After every question about the forest, he would ask a question about Li Rui showing that he had not forgotten his mother also.

The most amusing thing was how during his chattering, his small hands would slide down on their own from his small chest, and then he would have to set on his chest back again.

Remembering the pale face of his son from his dream, Xi Ying's heart was suddenly filled with fatherly love for his son.

Even his annoying chattering didn't seem to be that much annoying now.

He suddenly kneeled down in front of his son on the ground and then hugged him tightly.

"Xi Ling, Father promised you that one day, he will show you how those forests look. Everything you want to see, Father will himself take you to see those things."

"Really?"

Xi Ling's cheerful voice made Xi Ying come out of his emotional trance.

He pulled away from his son and then nodded his head making a promise silently. Xi Ling was very happy.

However, his happiness vanished when the next moment he heard his father saying

"Mother needs rest, Xi Ling. If you want a beautiful and healthy sibling then you need to let her have a good rest every day. Since mother can't play with you, Father will play with you."

"No!"

A big no escaped Xi Ling's lips and he stepped away from his father.. His face was full of horror and he ran away from there completely showing his reluctance at Xi Ying's generous proposal while Xi Ying looking at his running back with narrowed eyes.
