OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 180 WINS THE HEART OF THE RULER
Li San had yet to give an answer to Xiao Jun's proposal, allowing his son to bring his under-supervised overseas sister Li San was worried they would have plenty of opportunities to conspiracy to turn against him.
“Keep them away with limited distance and communication, so that it will slowly weaken their relationship naturally. Father will not be blamed by uncle Kao Jing, our intentionality does not look blatant. What about dad?” xiao Jun asked after giving his opinion.
“Li An has no skills, her education is low, then what can she do there? just enjoying life from our wealth? You don't forget it as my outer prisoner.” Li San confirmed the difference Xiao Jun and Li An might have forgotten by his son.
Xiao Jun thought for a moment, he realized that Li An did not have any provisions to help business matters, just hard work and relying on physical strength that he could do. “Dad, he can
relied on to look after Grace. The girl still needs a bodyguard and a waiter, it is more appropriate to let Li An's brother double the job. Grace must be more comfortable being escorted by fellow women.”
That brilliant idea simply came to pass, as a descendant of Wei who inherited from a hereditary ancestor became a bodyguard. It was not difficult for Li An to become Grace's protector, besides that Xiao Jun could arrange the rest. He would definitely hire a secret bodyguard to protect the two girls without their knowledge.
Li San muttered, Xiao Jun's suggestion was quite reasonable. However, the relationship between Li An and Chen Kho must be resolved immediately, Li San refused to have the complexity of the genealogy in the future if their relationship is successful. But there is something that still holds Li San's heart, “You call Grace by name
whahuh? Sounds like you're still creating distance with him.” Li San was very observant to see the reaction of Xiao Jun who was forced to call Grace by name, and when he mentioned the word substitute then Xiao Jun looked calmer.
Xiao Jun was a little shocked when he knew Li San was paying enough attention to him. It is hard to say the name Grace so forced. “Sorry dad, I made you unhappy. I'm just not used to it yet, next time it won't happen again.”
“He was rather liberated, his upbringing was different from yours. Me and your mother have given him character education, give him time and support him change his attitude better.” Excited Li San who even forgot the previous discussion that had no decision.
Xiao Jun simply nodded silently, he actually did not agree to Li San's request just that giving such a response would not incriminate him. He does not need to accept anything heavy.
“And about Li An, take her as you plan!” finally Li San issued a statement that Xiao Jun was waiting for.
Li San's words instantly inflated Xiao Jun's spirit, his smile widened and he stood giving the highest honor to his father. “Thank you dad!”
Li San gave a smile, it was important for him to keep charisma by not exercising a smile or over-reacting. “Before you leave for Jakarta, enter the head office for a while. Check their work performance especially Chen Kho, maybe there is something suspicious.” Li San wanted to ensure his prejudice against his nephew. Xiao Jun's return greatly relieved him, he realized that among the brothers, the blood-soaked family with him did not guarantee absolute trust in them. It was precisely at Xiao Jun that the unconditional trust was felt by Li San.
Xiao Jun nodded in agreement, planning to return to the main company to unmask Chen Kho. “Good dad! It's just that I need a reliable and reliable right hand to help me. Please father return the position of Lau's bodyguard as my confidant again. He is only professional and trustworthy. I depend on him a lot, father.”
Li San somewhat objected, returning Lau to his original position was the same as preparing to repeat old history. Moreover, they will return to Jakarta, where the conspiracy and affair occurred. “Lau? He was too old for that position. I'll select a bodyguard as well as a business expert to ease your work.” Reject Li San for the reason he made.
“What do you do, quickly wake up!” li San's orders were suddenly honored with no apparent intent.
“Li Xiao Jun begs father to restore Lau's position as servant's personal bodyguard. In the future, all the mistakes and omissions that he did were entirely the responsibility of the servant, and the servant was prepared to receive the heaviest punishment.” Xiao Jun suddenly pleaded formally, putting aside his position as the crown prince who was unnecessarily humble like this when pleading with his father.
Xiao Jun's earnestness and obedience were able to stir Li San's heart, however his son had obeyed his will and he was only Li San's confidant. He did not let his heart disappoint him, “Wake up. You don't deserve to kneel for a lowly bodyguard. Later if he breaks my rules again, you and he will end up in the dungeon.” Li San replied firmly.
Xiao Jun smiled with excitement, an elusive happiness that won the ruler's heart. Instead of rushing up as ordered, he knelt down a few times as the deepest form of gratitude. Successfully getting back one by one the people he loved by his side, there was nothing happier than that.

From the corner of a narrow room in the headquarters of the guards, Lau sat pensively enjoying a cup of coffee
bittersweet. Although free to breathe fresh air after from prison, he is still often found daydreaming alone. When all the residents of the headquarters dominated by the trainee guards left, he was alone lamenting the time
long empty without purpose. It feels like dying as if life does not want to.
He longs for the days where he is always eager to start a new day, no matter how heavy the day is but still run with a light mind and eager to do his main task – serve young master Xiao Jun. Now in a time like retirement, set aside, like weathered wood that is thrown away, he ogah-ogahan take care of himself. His life spirit disappeared as the young master disappeared from his side. If not for his vow to Xiao Jun to seek a moment of return, perhaps Lau would no longer cherish his life.
The sound of the footsteps echoing in the hallway rang out to disturb Lau's silence, he sharpened his ears to catch the source of the sound. At the busy hour, hardly any of the guards returned. The sound of that step was clearly heading towards his room.
“Who?” asked Lau loudly but still flinching with a glass filled with half a cup of coffee.
The owner of the step in brought back the smile that Lau missed, not to be spared also the gaze full of warmth that emanated from the two shady eyes. “It's me, your master. Hello uncle!” the soft voice shocked Lau, so much so that the cup in the handle broke off and broke.
“Young master .. salute to master Xiao Jun.” Lau with a trembling voice immediately knelt down but Xiao Jun was more dispirited of Lau's habits and held the man's body bent down for him.
“Your respect is accepted. What uncle did, it's time for work. I'm waiting for you not to show up until you have to be picked up.” Said Xiao Jun half-jokingly, he was reluctant to create a dramatic atmosphere. Unfortunately the delicate Lau remained on her knees, hope manifested, prayer answered, and she should be grateful.
