OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 124 LOVE THE LOVER OR THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER
In a large room that could accommodate hundreds of people, there were only three of its inhabitants. The silence there can even reflect the echo of the sound of shoes stepping on the red carpet. A tense silence, the ruler sat with a face of wrath aiming at him through a notch as sharp as an eagle's eye. Not only him, there was a pair of sneaky eyes watching him from head to toe.
“Xiao Jun salutes father, may father live a long life. Long live..” Xiao Jun kneels respectfully, he returns to the palace filled with rules.
“Wake up and stand there.” Li San's orders were firm.
Xiao Jun stood upright in his place six meters away from Li San's seat. It felt like he was venting anger at the outrageous Li San on his two mothers. Fortunately he tried to hold back more patiently and saw the flow of the ruler's game.
“So what's your reason now? Want to avoid that you have lied often?” Li San insinuated Xiao Jun, without the need for opening words he went straight to the heart of the matter.
Xiao Jun half lowered his head, the rule required that he should not stare at the big master while talking seriously let alone regarding a big matter. “Xiao Jun doesn't understand father's intentions, please explain which lies father meant.”
Li San immediately threw dozens of photos that since yesterday made him blindly angry. It was also what he did while dismantling the guise of Liang Jia and Xin Er. The photos that floated down in the scattering were picked up by Xiao Jun. He really realized there were intruders around him to be able to photograph the moment of privacy.
“You still want to lie? That time the client you said was sick to cancel your sister's show was the girl, right? He's not a client but a close friend of yours!” li San snapped until he coughed a few times. Chen Kho with high initiative directly poured water to his uncle.
Xiao Jun observed Chen Kho's attitude, although he had only first met but he was sure this man was the one told by the two guards. Just a glance at it Xiao Jun could already guess that there was something unkind that was hidden behind the attention attitude of the man.
“Sorry dad, I dare not lie. She's my lover, sorry I haven't introduced you.” Finally he chose to answer as it is, sooner or later it will be discovered so for what is covered again.
“Supply! You don't not know our rules, whoever becomes Li's offspring partner is not a random person. Moreover, you are my only son, where can a foreign woman be your wife! If you really want to get married, I will find a woman who deserves you.”
Xiao Jun was surprised, finding a woman meant forcibly matching her. “Dad, without meaning to be presumptuous. I beg for a matter of feeling, let me decide. In addition I am willing to abide by your rules.” Xiao Jun kneeled begging Li San. This matter would be long if Li San insisted on
his plan.
Chen Kho was also tense, the first impression he got from Xiao Jun was an enemy that could not be underestimated, charismatic and beautiful, even though he was a man but Chen Kho did not deny it. Xiao Jun's word-and-action prowess could take Li San's sympathy, no wonder the grumpy man could dote on him. Now that Xiao Jun tried to negotiate, Chen Kho seriously stared at Li San's expression. Do not let his uncle melt and give his blessing then he will turn his brain again to think of other strategies.
“Now tell me what's special about the girl until it deserves my recognition?” li San asked, his tone began to decline.
Xiao Jun thought for a moment, he had not been so familiar with the ins and outs of Weini other than his same surname. But it is better to try to say what is rather than excessive peppering until one day the cover is revealed and cause new problems.
“She is beautiful, independent girl, firm, agile, proficient in kung fu. She works as a celebrity and is very famous in her country.” Xiao Jun stopped describing Weini, thinking positive things that had not been revealed.
“She's a comfort woman?” Li San was wrong to catch, he was most anti-people from the entertainment world and unfortunately Xiao Jun was involved with such a woman. In Li San's mind, the woman must have been only eyeing Xiao Jun's money and power as well as utilizing Xiao Jun to boost his prestige.
“Whatever it is, he still deals with the entertainment world. Then who are her parents? What profession?” Li San was still curious as to what kind of woman managed to obtain a special place in Xiao Jun's heart.
The question grew heavier, if Xiao Jun were to know Haris and Weini there might not be any difficulty in answering that. “His father..he is a Mandarin teacher, but he is very authoritative and kind. I don't know her full name yet, but my lover is Li Wei Ni. It's the same as me dad.”
Chen Kho felt a startling sensation again, Xiao Jun was really full of shock. A fake Li clan boy finds a would-be companion from another Li clan, like a plot set in motion. This was no longer a coincidence, Xiao Jun was truly overwhelmed with luck if he could convince Li San.
“Princess of the Li Clan of Indonesia. Hmm... like meeting a brother in another part of the world.” Li San seemed to be thinking and was misunderstood by Xiao Jun. He thought the father would agree to this relationship and this matter was considered a misunderstanding only.
“True dad.” Xiao Jun said briefly.
“But it's not enough to match our dignity. You must have a matching partner and deserve to be the mistress of the successor of the Li.” clan Li San continued back firmly.
The world seemed to collapse upon hearing that statement, Xiao Jun thought Li San's kind response would lead to a firm rejection. “Sorry dad, I refused to be betrothed. Please do not complicate my position as a child. Not to be disobedient, but the matter of feeling please father not force.”
“But you have no right to refuse. Every child has arranged his soul mate. Likes don't like it, it's your business. You'll betrothed Grace Li, the honorable daughter of Li's descendants. Stay here until the matchmaking business is over.” Li San prepared to get up and leave the hall, he was reluctant to see the rebellious look of Xiao Jun.
Chen Kho smiled with satisfaction, without the need for any intervention Li San had already made a decision as he wished. He was still at home sitting looking at the mimicry of Xiao Jun's destruction.
“Do you deserve to threaten me? If I refuse, what will you do? Killing me? Kill my mother?” Xiao Jun threw a resistance, his loud cry made Li San turn around and descend towards him.
Li San raised his hand, barely slapping Xiao Jun in the face. Luckily the rough movement stopped when another inch landed on the cheek. “Supply! I never taught you to defy. You blame me or threaten me? Your life has long been in my grasp, don't make me strangle you with both hands.”
Xiao Jun was undaunted, he loudly clashed with Li San. “Why haven't you been killing us for so long? I've always followed you, but have you ever thought of me? I followed all your rules in the hope that you would treat my mother better than a maid, but instead you punished her vilely. My mother has
old man, he won't last long if you keep him locked up. Then why do I obey a leader who does not keep his promises?”
Li San laughed, Xiao Jun's bluff sounded ridiculous. The boy yesterday afternoon he picked up and made the crown prince turned around to bully him. It turned out that Kao Jing was right, no matter how well he treated her, in Xiao Jun's eyes he remained incomparable to his biological parents.
“If you realize your mother is old and might die in prison, then just obey. You can choose, between the love of your lover or the life of your mother.”
Li San was reluctant to prolong the debate, leaving Xiao Jun still standing tensely. Meanwhile Chen Kho did not want to miss, he followed Li San and passed by with a satisfied smile as he passed by Xiao Jun.
