OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 151 THE RULER'S HEART BEGINS TO SOFTEN
Li San sat with great charisma on his throne, according to reports that he had received Kao Jing and Grace had already landed and was heading to his palace. The great master was full of spirit, other than meeting siblings, he was excited to bring Xiao Jun and Grace together. It still keeps
an unfamiliar hope is extinguished to unite the two of them.
“Service, send young master to see me now!” li San called for one of his guards.
Adviser He was asked to accompany an important moment that will happen soon. Li San had even sent a bodyguard to inform Liang Jia to participate in the reception.
Counselor He saw the happiness of the look on Li San's face, the mood of his great master in favorable conditions for negotiation. As the closest person who is trusted to give advice, he knows very well the nature of his master.
“Master, everything is smooth according to your will. Stay how young master responds.” Counselor He gave an opinion without being asked by Li San.
Li San who was in a good mood only nodded full of smiles. Reviews of the smile on his lips did not last long, when a bodyguard he sent back hurriedly.
“Report sir, young master Xiao Jun refused to come. According to the news from his guard, young master since yesterday hunger strike until now.” The bodyguard kneeled down to deliver the unfortunate news, he did not dare to stand before being allowed to.
Li San frowned, what kind of attitude did Xiao Jun show. Is this in return for his generosity of giving permission to meet with his mother and bodyguard yesterday? Or the young man still holds a grudge for the slap he gave?
“You go, all out of here!” li San said to all the bodyguards living in the hall. He needs to speak to the advisor with four eyes.
“The child ... What is planning a conspiracy? What did you hear from their meeting?” originally Li San was reluctant to question the outcome of Xiao Jun's meeting with the two people closest to him, but knowing his defiant attitude again made him suspicious again.
Counselor He had already prepared an answer in anticipation of this kind of question from Li San. “Although sir, throughout visiting his mother and bodyguard, the young master was only given half an hour each. In such a short time they just spend crying each other miss and ask the news. Nonexistent
talks leading to rebellion. Servant can guarantee its truth with servant's life.” A very determined statement, considering that He's adviser is clearly conspiring to hide the truth.
“Hmm ... Then what kind of attitude is this? What do you want the young man, I really do not understand.” Li San murmured while rubbing his chin.
Counselor He bowed respectfully before giving his opinion, “Master, forgive me the sassness of the servant to express a personal opinion. According to the servant, the young master's age is still in emotional stability. Moreover, he grew up with strict upbringing and rules, at least affecting his psyche. It is not the intention of the servant to doubt your affection, but the harder the advice of the servant the way you deal with it, the more
keep you away with his heart.”
If not for the calmness of the heart that was still stable, Li San might have been inflamed already. He is still in a good position to negotiate. “In your opinion, what should I do to deal with it?” eventually Li San humbled himself to hear the solution from He's adviser.
This opportunity obviously means a lot to advisor He, he will try his best so that this family problem gets a middle ground. “Sorry sir, according to the servant of family harmony must begin with the balance of roles, between parents and children both have rights and obligations. Strict rules only
will create distance between each other, and sometimes as parents need to succumb to children. They have feelings and thoughts, not always able to follow the will of parents.”
Counselor He shook his head, “Ampuni servant, sir. Not the intention of the servant, according to the servant you should be the one who approached him now. Talk well for a deal, make him comfortable and obey you well as he has been doing. Before this case, the young master had never disappointed you. Give him a chance to trust you again and obey without the element of coercion.”
Suggestions were reasonable enough, Li San should also try to improve his image in Xiao Jun's eyes. The words of Xiao Jun who said that he was treated like a robot still continue to tease, maybe it's good to follow the advice of his mainstay advisor.
“Alright, accompany me to the Xiao Jun pavilion now!” yang Li San steady.

The indecision that enveloped Xiao Jun's mind made him a labile man, he had already made up his mind but his attitude had shown just the opposite. A heart that is still very heavy to step up to meet a woman who does not want him to know, especially to have an engagement bond. When the call from Li San came, he refused with body language. And here it ends, sitting in the mirror while reflecting. Seeing a shadow of self that looks strong on the outside yet fragile on the inside. Imagine how lucky it is to be an ordinary person, to be like Weini who has a great and wise father. The impossible father imposes his will and meddles in personal feelings for his own self-interest.
“Big master arrived!” the screams of the bodyguards from outside scattered Xiao Jun's mind. The person he didn't want to meet came over.
Li San stepped in accompanied by He's adviser, while Xiao Jun and He's adviser glanced at each other then they took their respective stances.
“Honor to father, long life!” said Xiao Jun bowing respectfully.
“Ah, relax my son.” Li San grabbed Xiao Jun's shoulder and then enforced his standing position. He gave a smile that was so friendly, other than usual.
Being treated as well as that actually confused Xiao Jun, let alone the veiled intent of that sweet attitude? Xiao Jun chose silence and looked at what Li San was doing.
“You haven't eaten yet? Does the cooking not suit your taste? How about we go out to eat together?” li San asked attentively.
If not for knowing Li San's hard character, maybe Xiao Jun had been fooled by his sweet mouth. He was still trying to keep his distance, until then the advisor He gave a glance at him.
“Thank you for dad's attention, the food was pretty good. I just lack appetite, father do not worry.” Xiao Jun was instantly able to respond to Li San thanks to He's advisory code. At least that advisor was still someone he could trust.
Li San began to worry about hearing Xiao Jun's state, “Then I called the doctor immediately. Counselor He please send the medical team here!”
Xiao Jun shook his head, “No need to bother dad, I'm fine just lose the appetite. better not bother the doctor to check me, I don't like to swallow chemical pills.”
As far as possible Xiao Jun tried to resist Li San's will. He just needs a moment with the man who took it from his original parents. Opportunity to negotiate as a fellow adult.
