Chapter 317 - Li Chen Talks To General Li
When she was lost in her joy, she suddenly felt a hand creeping down her waist and then a pinch on her soft skin.
"Ah…"
Yi Jie threw away her husband\'s hand and glared at him fiercely as she rubbed the spot where he had just pinched her.
General Li only chuckled playfully seeing his wife\'s glare as he helped her rub, the same spot.
"What? Don\'t glare at me, dear. I was just trying to make you believe that you are not dreaming."
The anger in Yi Jie\'s eyes only increased more.
Pointing her finger at her husband\'s face, she said threateningly.
"Do not enter my room tonight."
The smile on General Li\'s face faltered for a moment before it came again and with a playful smirk on his face, he stepped forward.
Leaning closer to Yi Jie\'s angry face, he whispered
"Otherwise what will you do?"
The anger on Yi Jie\'s face vanished for a moment and she frowned in confusion as she thought about what she could do.
"I …I …will never talk to you."
She said firmly.
General Li\'s face really went serious at these words. He sighed and let out a frustrated sigh.
"You can\'t just threaten me like every time. You are my wife. I was just teasing you. Who else should I go to except you?"
General Li had thought that he would be able to coax his wife with these words. However, Yi Jie merely chuckled at these words and said
"Well I can threaten you and I just did. Now don\'t spoil my mood. I need to think of the things that I need to prepare for my future grandson. Last time, when Xiao Ling was born I couldn\'t do anything."
Yi Jie\'s smile faltered a little as she remembered how she had gotten the news of her daughter giving birth to a child.
The news had reached her ears through someone else other than her daughter and her family. It was some lady from a noble family who had told her that her daughter had birthed a son.
Only she knew how happy she had been at that moment and wanted to go to see her daughter and her grandson, however, her husband strictly refused her.
The memories made Yi Jie angrier at her husband and she glared at him as she said
"If this time you tried to stop me from visiting my daughter, then I will leave Li Manor and go to my father."
General Li sighed heavily on hearing another threat from his wife.
He didn\'t take it seriously until he saw how firm his wife looked.
Panic flashed in his heart. He knew very well if his wife went to Yi Manor once then it would be very difficult to bring her back. General Li had already experienced it once.
That old father of Yi Jie was always ready to keep his daughter to himself. Last time, he literally had to abduct his own wife.
"I will not stop you at all, Yi Jie. What do you actually think about me? Would I have told you this news if I had wanted to stop you from visiting Rui?"
Yi Jie sighed in relief on hearing her husband\'s words. At the same time, General Li remembered something Xi Ying had told him.
"Yi Jie, you can\'t tell this to anyone else."
Yi Jie frowned for a moment at her husband\'s words and asked without thinking.
"Why?"
General Li\'s lips were pressed in a thin line and he was silent for a moment before he finally said
"You saw how Princess Wenling asked the Emperor to give an Imperial decree of marriage to her with Prime Minister Xi."
Yi Jie\'s face went serious and she frowned remembering the shameless princess.
She was very angry at that moment and just wanted to slap that princess\' face.
Her daughter is finally happy in her married life and the princess after running her daughter\'s happiness so much was again trying to snatch it from her daughter.
She nodded her head lightly in response to her husband\'s question.
General Li sighed in relief and then continued
"According to Prime Minister Xi, it is good if we don\'t let the princess know about this for as much time as it is possible."
The words sank in Yi Jie\'s mind and heart and she nodded her head in understanding.
Not only princess, but she also knows someone else who could do even crazier things and that crazy person belongs to their own family.
Li Na…she would never be able to forgive her for everything she did to her daughter and after seeing her hatred for Li Rui, Yi Jie somehow didn\'t feel that it was safe letting her know that Li Rui was with Lord Xi\'s child.
"Don\'t worry. I will not tell anyone anything."
General Li was left assured by his wife\'s promise.
He didn\'t need to tell everything to her but he also made her understand everything. This was right.
What could be better than this?
He was about to talk more when he suddenly heard someone calling him and turned around.
"Second Uncle."
It was Li Chen who was now standing in front of General Li.
"Yes, Li Chen."
General Li patiently waited for him to say what he wanted to say. However, Li Chen\'s eyes moved to Yi Jie and then at his uncle as he said
"Second Uncle, can we talk alone?"
General Li was silent for a moment before he looked at his wife who was frowning as she looked at Li Chen.
\'Was he here to apologize in place of his sisters?\'
Yi Jie couldn\'t help but think.
She didn\'t want to leave but then she thought that her husband would also not accept any such apology for whatever Li Na and Li Caihong had done.
She knew him that much.
Thinking like this, Yi Jie sighed lightly and then said
"I will go back to my room."
She should instead now think about what other things her daughter would need as she was now with a child.
General Li silently saw his wife leaving the living room and then said to Li Chen.
"Let\'s go to the common study room."
Li Chen swallowed nervously and then followed General Li to the common study room.
