OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 163 RELIES ON THE ENEMY'S ABILITIES
Waiting for the matchmaking day to arrive made Xiao Jun impatient, after the meeting session yesterday Xiao Jun was still treated like a prisoner. He had not been allowed to visit Xin Er and Lau could not even leave his residence. In this modern era, he still feels dyed like a girl when approaching
wedding day. Love was no longer Xiao Jun's top priority, as much as he had been to Weini but his sense of responsibility to Xin Er overcame everything.
Xiao Jun tried to make a spell amulet for hypnosis, if successful it might be used to distract the guards so that he could visit Xin Er. He relied on his memories of having read the old books of his ancestral heritage. Unfortunately the book was left behind in Jakarta, otherwise Xiao Jun would have taken advantage of this alone opportunity to deepen his magic.
“Young master Chen Kho arrives.” The sound of the bodyguards shouting instantly made Xiao Jun flutter. He quickly hid the talisman paper in a pile of books.
“Why the two brothers are so troublesome.” Xiao Jun grumbled, the unexpected guest came to him. It's hard to deal with people he doesn't like. He wanted to refuse Chen Kho's arrival but the man rushed in without manners like he had done before.
Chen Kho revealed a smile full of deception, “Young master Xiao Jun, did my arrival surprise you? Ha ha ha .. Come on, don't think of me like an enemy, you'll soon call brother-in-law.
“There are any interests right away! Sorry I'm a little busy, please don't linger here.” Xiao Jun's exclaim did not heed the familiar pretentious statement just now.
Chen Kho laughed and poured tea in a cup and drank it. “You're too serious to be a busy, contrived person when you're still under house arrest. I won't interrupt your daydreaming time, but my arrival here is precisely to help you spend more useful time.”
Xiao Jun was sick of hearing Chen Kho's pleasantries, but he chose to be quiet until the man finished his point.
“Wei Li An, your brother .. do you want to see him?” chen Kho asked with a sly smile.
The name that was so attached to Xiao Jun's mind immediately provoked his response. “Where do you know my sister?”
Chen Kho smiled, it should have been from the beginning that he used Li An to suppress Xiao Jun. Stupid he who had forgotten the importance of the Wei girl and almost threw her down. “You can be a little friendly with me? You should thank me for keeping him so far. Now you just answer me, want to see him or not? I don't like giving second chances after rejection.”
Xiao Jun was silent, beyond estimation that the man he felt was not good-hearted knew his brother. I don't know what has happened during his time in Jakarta, both his mother and brother have a ruined life.
“What is this your new stratagem? How can I believe you meant to meet me with him, and you have no evidence of knowing him. I can't make rash decisions without consideration.” Xiao Jun chose to sell expensively, although his heart was very curious but he had to keep restraint. If this
the trap of the crafty man, then everything will be uncovered once he can't show proof.
Beyond Chen Kho's estimation, his rival was indeed very cautious. He was forced to turn his brain for a moment to think about what evidence he could show to strengthen his argument, until he remembered Li An had asked him a selfie from his cellphone. “Is this enough to convince you? She herself loh who took this photo.” Chen Kho's
it showed a photo of her and Li An posing quite closely.
Xiao Jun snatched the phone from Chen Kho's hands and observed with two eyes wide open, li An's mature face has never been seen but what he remembers most is the shape of the teeth and the smile of the girl in the photo was exactly with Li An whom he knew as a child. Xiao Jun felt a burning hot heart of emotion seeing his brother's closeness to the crafty man.
“Still not believe?” satirical Chen Kho beside Xiao Jun. He was very happy to see Xiao Jun's confused face, it made his heart flower.
Xiao Jun smiled cynically, although Chen Kho did know Li An yet he was certain that he would not be able to bring them together. “You must not forget, here the most powerful is my father. Are you sure you can hide something from him?”
Chen Kho laughed loudly and the laughter sounded strange to Xiao Jun, was that as funny as he said?
“Ya.” That was the short answer Xiao Jun had. He harbored curiosity to see the way Chen Kho led him to flee to meet his brother. How great would that man be if he could trick Li San.
“You made a good decision. Wait for me this afternoon, see how I realize your dream.” Chen Kho exclaimed with a laugh and left Xiao Jun who was still standing still.

The matter of convincing Li San was not difficult for Chen Kho, he only needed to meet the ruler now. And in the main hall of Li San's residence he stood now, facing his uncle who was waiting for Kao Jing's arrival.
“I thought you came with your father, where is he now? Why haven't you met me this afternoon?” li San asked when he found Chen Kho alone, he was more enthusiastic about meeting his brother but did not dare to disturb because he was worried that Kao Jing still needed time to rest.
Chen Kho half bowed, “Sorry disappointed uncle. My dad was still sleeping when I came, maybe he was
still exhausted.”
Li San nodded in understanding, “I understand. Then what's the matter with you coming here?”
“Ah, sorry uncle should I go to the office now but I was worried this morning with my sister and decided to meet her before leaving. It turned out that she was training to be a respectable woman at uncle's behest. I'm so grateful for my uncle's concern for Grace, she must indeed solidify herself
before officially becoming your son-in-law. But ...” Chen Kho deliberately delayed the continuation of his words in order to provoke Li San's response.
“But what? continue!” li San exclaimed firmly, as Chen Kho suspected.
“Uncle, this matchmaking is also at my suggestion. I feel responsible for my sister. Seeing her happiness was obviously very much expected, but seeing her fight hard for the sake of getting Xiao Jun's heart, it felt inappropriate that only Grace was trying.” Said Chen Kho.
“You mean?”
“I think Xiao Jun should also give support to Grace to be more enthusiastic about practicing. I know what my sister likes, and it's good that Xiao Jun gave it to her directly. If uncle doesn't mind, I'll take Xiao Jun out for a minute to find a gift that Grace likes. Such small attention is very effective in bringing their feelings closer. There must be someone who arouses love between them, especially soon they are fiancee. Let's just say it's a time of closer approach and introduction.” Chen Kho conveyed his proposal, of course it was just a mere essay.
Li San considering Chen Kho's opinion, he also expected Xiao Jun to soon forget the girl he loved and wholeheartedly accept Grace. Holding it up until the engagement day might be less effective, better to let Chen Kho take part in their approach. “Alright, I let you accompany Xiao Jun
exiting. Give him input to get to know Grace more sincerely.”
Chen Kho smiled with satisfaction, he should be proud of his ability to tame a wild lion like Li San. “Thank you uncle, trust me.”
