His Rui-Chapter 697 A Small And Happy Family Of Lord Xi

When Xi Ling came inside the dining room running, he immediately ran toward his mother. However, just when he was walking past by his father, Xi Ying held his arm and then dragged him to lift him up and made him sit on his lap.

The small bun's big black eyes were wide. He blinked as he looked at his father and then at his mother.

Li Rui smiled seeing her son's face while Xi Ying's lips twitched in amusement.

He wondered why his son was behaving as if he had never loved him before.

Though it was true that in the past few months, he would try sometimes to send him away from his wife, it was only because he wanted to spend some time with Rui.

Xi Ling could have Li Rui for himself for the whole day when he was out but he would get only some time to spend and sometimes only night where he would see her resting on their bed.

And for the three years of his life, there had been many times when he had fed him like this …especially in the initial two years, he would feed Xi Ying himself as long as he was in Manor.

He stroked his head gently and said in his deep and calm voice.

"Today we have Xi Ling's favorite chicken soup."

Xi Ling blinked again and then smiled brightly. He also hugged his father's neck and said

"Xi Ling wants to have chicken soup. Xi Ling is hungry."

Xi Ying nodded his head and served some soup in the bowl and then carefully fed him as it was hot. Xi Ling liked the soup very much.

He had a few spoons and then looked at the table pointing to some other dish.

Xi Ying patiently fed him.

Li Rui smiled all the while she saw the father and son interaction.

It was true that she used to feel a little envious in the beginning when Xi Ling had just come to Plum Courtyard. Though he talked to her and spent time with her enthusiastically, she could see that his bond with Xi Ying was already very special.

At that time, she had been afraid that she would never be able to form such a bond with Xi Ling because she was not there for him for the first three years.

However, today her fears had vanished and she was happy that her son had a complete family. Her hand went to her belly. This time around…if everything went fine then she will be able to see even the initial years of her child's life something that she couldn't enjoy during her son's birth.

"Rui…"

Li Rui came out of her trance when she heard Xi Ying calling her.

Xi Ying was looking at her strictly. Holding Xi Ling with one hand, he served Chichen soup in another bowl and said strictly.

"Don't think that you can escape my eyes because I am feeding Xi Ling. You need to finish all this."

Li Rui looked at the plate Xi Ying was piling up things on. Her eyes went big and wide and she immediately took the plate from his hands and said

"Let me finish this first."

She said helplessly.

Every time, Xi Ying would serve her, she would be facing this helpless situation. She wondered what exactly he thinks of her!

Was she a pig to eat so much?

Though her appetite had been large during the pregnancy, it was still too much.

She smiled more helplessly when she heard her son saying

"Yes, Mother needs to finish this. Xi Ling and Father both will keep an eye on Mother."

Surprisingly, Li Rui finished everything on her plate. Not only that, she also ate some more when Xi Ying served on the plate.

Xi Ying was very satisfied. He even asked Liu Lan to ask Butler to award the cook with more money this month.

On the other hand, Xi Ling who saw his mother eating so much was looking at her with his big black wide eyes.

His eyes then went to her bloated stomach. He knew that it was because of his sibling inside his mother's belly.

"Xi Ling, here…"

He turned his head to look at his father and leaned away not to eat whatever he was feeding her. Xi Ying frowned in confusion. Just a moment ago, the brat was asking him to feed this dish.

"Father, we need to save food."

Xi Ling's words created more confusion. He looked at his son wondering what other new thoughts were going inside his small head and asked

"Why?"

The small bun looked at his mother and said

"Mother eats so much, Father."

Li Rui stiffened while Xi Ying's face went cold.

"Xi Ling"

He scolded Xi Ling in a sharp and cold voice. Xi Ling flinched but was confused as to why he was being scolded.

He couldn't help but explain.

"Father, Xi Ling knows it is because of the bay otherwise Mother used to eat so less."

Li Rui as well as Xi Ying's faces relaxed a little.

But they felt amused when Xi Ling continued speaking

"The baby eats so much, Father. What if we were left with no food to feed him. Xi Ling will eat less from today on, Father. Here keep this for the younger sister."

Li Rui's heart melted at Xi Ling's words while Xi Ying also felt proud to know that Xi Ling could even leave the delicious food because he was worried that his sibling would go hungry. Though his thoughts were innocent, he could sense that Xi Ling already had the love and protectiveness an elder brother should have for his sibling.

His attention went to one another thing and he asked his son

"You said the younger sister, Xi Ling. Did you not say that you don't want a younger sister?"

Xi Ling pouted and looked at his mother with pleading eyes.

"Mother, Xi Ling was wrong before. Xi Ling wants a younger sister, not a younger brother. Give Xi Ling a younger sister." 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

Li Rui chuckled and informed him that it was not something in her hands while Xi Ying asked his son the reason behind this sudden change.

And Xi Ling told them.

"Father, Hongxiu has a younger brother who fights with him continuously. Hongxiu also told Xi Ling that his younger brother would always do mistakes and then somehow put all the blame on him making their mother shout at him."

Xi Ling's forehead had a deep frown as he continued.

"Xi Ling doesn't want such a brother. Xi Ling will endure if little sister will scream and Xi Linh will protect her as well but Xi Ling doesn't want a little liar who will plan against Xi Ling and make Mother scold me."

Xi Ying shook his head at the childish reason while Li Rui laughed out loud.

Hearing the rare voice of his wife's laughter, Xi Ying felt at peace and kissed his son's forehead.

Whatever might be going on outside the four walls of Xi Manor, he would make sure that nothing from outside should affect his small family.
