His Rui

"Mother, Xi Ling is also worried about Mother. Xi Ling also wants to know immediately if Mother is alright or not but Xi Ling is always the last person in this courtyard who gets to know about Mother\'s health."

Xi Ling said as he glanced at his father with a frown on his forehead.

Li Rui\'s heart melted after hearing her son\'s sweet words that were full of concern. She stroked his head lightly in motherly love while Xi Ying\'s lips twitched slightly when he heard his son\'s question.

Why he was not allowed? The simple answer was …

"Because I am your mother\'s husband."

Xi Ying enlightened his son who looked at him with a pout.

Looking back at his mother, he complained

"Mother, Father says this every time when Xi Ling wants to spend time with Mother."

Li Rui raised her eyebrows and turned to look at her husband whose lips were again twitching in anger seeing how his own son was complaining against him to his own wife.

His son was not loyal to him at all.

Xi Ying concluded inside his heart. He sighed when he noticed his wife\'s gaze and blinked his eyes in assurance to her as if indicating that he will handle the little bun.

After this, he stood up from the bed and walked towards Xi Ling.

Xi Ling who saw this cowered and suddenly wanted to run away. However, he had just left his mother\'s hand and turned around to run away when Xi Ying held his waist from behind and picked him up.

"Waah! Mother…save Xiao Ling …Father will spank Xiao Ling."

Xi Ying stopped amidst his actions after hearing how his son was trying to act cute by calling himself \'Xiao Ling\' by the same name Rui called him.

"I will not spank you."

He said with gritted teeth when he noticed his wife\'s gaze on himself again. However, Xi Ling seemed to have a big trauma from the spanks of his father as he didn\'t feel assured at all by his father\'s words and said

"No…Mother…Don\'t believe Father. He is just saying this here but he will spank Xiao Ling after …when…when Mother won\'t be here …Wuwu…Mother…save Xiao Ling."

Li Rui\'s eyebrows knitted together to form a frown as she could feel his son\'s voice choking a little bit at the end of his words.

She stretched out her hands indicating Xi Ying to pass Xi Ling to her. Xi Ying was reluctant as he knew that his son won\'t cry just like that.

He was a little suspicious but seeing his wife\'s frown he didn\'t refuse and passed his son to her.

Xi Ling immediately burrowed himself in his mother\'s embrace as soon as his father lowered him down to the bed.

Even Xii Ying couldn\'t help but feel a little speechless at his speed.

But he surely saw the smile on his son\'s lips in this small moment. Xi Ying shook his head.

He had never been like this in his childhood so he was sure that his son had his wife\'s traits. Perhaps this was the reason that Xi Ling\'s mischievousness never really angered him that much. Instead, it amused him as it made him that Li Rui was also perhaps like this in her childhood.

Perhaps Li Rui also knew that Xi Ling was not crying and hence she sighed lightly but there was a small smile on her lips as she patted her son\'s back slightly and said

"Father won\'t spank Xiao Ling. Mother won\'t let Father do it."

"Oh…"

Li Rui heard Xi Ying\'s oh as soon as she finished her words. She raised her head to look at her husband silently telling him not to tease Xi Ling anymore.

However, now Xi Ying wanted to tease his wife, not his son so he said in a seductive voice

"Indeed, if you will ask me, I won\'t spank him but what will you give me for that?"

His finger also went forward to put his wife\'s hair behind her ear and they traced her earlobe suggestively.

Li Rui blushed strongly. How could she not understand what was Xi Ying suggesting!

For a moment, she was speechless.

But when she composed herself, she didn\'t want to be outdone so she looked at her husband and said

"I…I won\'t talk to you ever."

"Yes!"

Xi Ling who was hiding inside her mother\'s embrace until now immediately peeked at his mother\'s face and said loudly.

"Mother, that\'s good. Both of us won\'t speak to Father if he spanked Xi Ling again. This is right."

Xi Ling nodded his small head again and again. He was very satisfied with this. On the other hand, Xi Ying now really wanted to spank his son.

His wife was so innocent and here his son was teaching her something that he didn\'t want her to learn.

However, he could only sigh as Li Rui patted their son\'s head and said

"Then Xiao Ling and Mother will do that. Xiao Ling must tell Mother if your Father spanked you ever again."

"Yes, Yes!"

The mother and son were happy as they finalized the deal. Xi Ying looked at his wife and son and felt his heart full.

He suddenly sat down on the bed and hugged both of them in his arms.

"Brat, I don\'t care if you won\'t speak to me but don\'t teach my wife all this."

He whispered in his son\'s ear who spoke immediately.

"Mother."

"Father is just teasing Xiao Ling."

Li Rui tried to comfort her son.

"No!"

Xi Ying said.

"Mother…waah!"

Li Rui couldn\'t help but glare at him. He, however just smiled and pulled her closer such that their forehead rested on each other.

His large frame still covered both of them as if he was trying to protect them from everything.

His family was his happiness after all…the only source of his peace.. He won\'t let anything happen to them ever.
