Chapter 127 Is the love of my uncle always so short-lived?
"Can I see your hand?" Yu Xun felt his cheeks getting hot, and his eyes were a little vague when he looked at Li.
Seeing Yu Xun like this, Li just found it interesting and took the initiative to roll up his sleeves and extend his hand.
Yu Xun tentatively touched Li's hand, and seeing that she didn't mind his touch, he became bolder and gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb.
"Is this already done?" The softness in his hand made Yu Xun feel a little relieved.
"Yes, it's all right." Li's eyes moved from her caressed hand to Yu Xun's face, "I'm afraid the general won't be able to accept it, so I tried my best to recover."
Nonsense. Yu Xun complained in his heart. The reason why this person recovered was definitely not because of him. But no matter what, it was a good thing that she got better. At least she looked like a normal person. As long as he couldn't see it, he could tell himself that there was no difference between him and her.
Yu Xun gently stroked the red mark on Li's wrist, which was the mark of the force he had just used. "Sorry, I was a little too emotional just now."
"Just an apology? If an apology is useful, what is the need for the Dali Temple?"
Yu Xun was a little confused by Li's words, "I'll let you hit me back, I promise I won't fight back."
"My hand hurts. If I hit you, won't it be my hand that hurts?" Li gently hooked his palm.
The itch spread from the palm of his hand to his spine. Yu Xun couldn't help but shudder and held the fingertips that were causing trouble. "Then I'll do it for you."
"General, are you going to hit yourself?" Li looked at Yu Xun and nodded seriously, as if he would attack her with just one word from her.
Li found it a little funny. The number of times she was amused by this man during this time was almost the same as the amount she had in a year. "That's not necessary. General, just rub it for me."
Of course Yu Xun had no objection to Li's words, and gently kneaded her wrist, occasionally asking how strong it was and if it still hurt. As for Yu Xun's action of quietly moving closer to her, Li just pretended not to see it. Anyway, she didn't mind his approach, so she just let him do it.
Along the way, Yu Xun's mood was like riding a roller coaster, and it was so lively. It was not until the carriage stopped at the gate of the general's mansion that Yu Xun reluctantly withdrew his hand. For the first time, he disliked the general's mansion being so close to the palace.
Yu Xun got off the carriage first and reached out to help Li. He didn't dare to get too close, but just raised his hand. If Li didn't let him help, he wouldn't be too embarrassed.
But the expectation in his eyes was too obvious, and Li couldn't ignore it, so she had no choice but to put her hand on him and use his strength to get out of the car. After Yu Xun took the man's hand, he didn't let go, and led him to the mansion as if nothing had happened.
The butler came to Yu Xun excitedly to report the visitor to the mansion, but the moment he saw the little princess, his surprise overwhelmed his excitement. He forgot what he was going to say for a moment and could only stare blankly as Yu Xun pulled the person past him.
It was not until he saw Yu Xun walking towards the west courtyard that the old butler came to his senses and hurriedly reminded him, "General, there are guests waiting in the main hall."
Thinking of the person Li talked about in the carriage, Yu Xun paused and looked a little unnatural. He pretended to be calm and turned around to walk towards the main hall.
Feeling the force of the hand pulling her hand increase unconsciously, Li couldn't hide the smile on her face and was looking forward to what was to come.
In the main hall.
The emotions that Yu Xun had been brewing all the way were shattered by a small cannonball. In order to avoid falling with Li, Yu Xun could only let go of Li's hand and hug the child who rushed over.
"Uncle, uncle! Xiaochen misses you so much!" Yu Xiaochen hid in the man's arms and couldn't help sobbing softly.
“Xiao Chen?!” Yu Xun pulled the person away from his arms, squatted down and looked at him in surprise, “That’s great, that’s great, I’m glad you’re okay.”
With the frequent wars in recent years, he was mentally prepared to never find his little nephew again. Unexpectedly, not only was he fine, but he had also gained so much weight. This was really a big surprise.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Yu Xun hugged the person tightly in his arms, his voice choked with sobs.
"Thanks to my beautiful sister for saving Xiaochen." Yu Xiaochen patted Yu Xun's back comfortingly like a little adult, "Xiaochen is fine. I'm sorry for making you worry."
The beautiful sister mentioned by Yu Xiaochen brought Yu Xun back to his senses. The words of thanks he wanted to say were swallowed back into his stomach when he saw the phantom beside Li.
Countless thoughts flashed through Yu Xun's mind, and he stood up suddenly. Realizing that he had overreacted, he asked leisurely, "Who is this..."
Yu Xiaochen was pushed away and stood there in a daze. Is his uncle's love always so short-lived? Is he still his uncle's favorite nephew?
"Hello, boss's ex-husband, you can just call me Phantom." Phantom nodded politely in greeting.
Seeing Yu Xun's gloomy face at that moment, Meiying thought that he had said something wrong, so he turned to the foreign language and whispered to Li beside him, "Uh, Boss, did I say anything wrong?"
Li shook her head. What she said was correct, but the mistake was that she didn't like to hear that name. It sounded like the name was taught by that big mouth Wei Xianchen. She would definitely give him a good beating next time they met.
Wei Xianchen, who was far away in the auction house, couldn't help but sneeze. The accountant, who was reporting the month's income, was startled and quickly handed him a handkerchief.
"It's okay, maybe Boss Li missed me." Wei Xianchen rubbed his nose and shrugged indifferently.
I think I want to beat you up. The accountant did not refuse his boss's face and continued with what he had just said.
On this side, Yu Xun looked at the two people whispering and felt the urge to beat them up.
"Guests are welcome. Brother Phantom, why don't you stay for a quick meal before leaving?" Yu Xun put on that almost perfect polite smile again.
"I didn't say I was leaving." Phantom was keenly aware of Yu Xun's hostility towards him. He glanced at Li who was looking up at the sky in silence, and immediately understood where Yu Xun's hostility came from.
Phantom took two steps towards Li, glanced at Yu Xun provocatively, and said in a mean way, "Boss, am I still your favorite subordinate? You don't want to throw me away after you're done with me, do you?"
"Get out!" Li glared at the Phantom who was causing trouble and began to regret his decision to let everyone in the Blood Shadow Pavilion learn Qianwu language.
"Didn't you hear your boss telling you to get out?" Seeing Li's attitude, Yu Xun seemed to gain confidence and started to show off as well.
"The boss likes to say one thing and mean another to me. Is it any of your business?"
Phantom snorted lightly. Based on his experience of following Li around all these years, Li's "get out" was just out of disdain for the cheesy words he had just said, and she definitely didn't mean to really chase him away.
"You!!" He really had no control over it, so Phantom's words really hit Yu Xun's lungs. If Yu Li hadn't been present, Yu Xun really wanted to have a fight with this guy.
Phantom, who often walks on the edge of life and death, would definitely be aware of Yu Xun's fighting spirit. However, the more Yu Xun was like this, the more Phantom wanted to provoke him, "What are you looking at? Do you want to fight?"
"I've heard that you guys in Lixuan Territory like to make friends through martial arts, so I have to respect your customs, right?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking." The warmongering side of Meiying's heart was aroused, and he couldn't wait to have a fight with Yu Xun.
They were all adults, so Li neither tried to persuade nor stop the fight. He just whitewashed Xiao Chen and motioned for him to follow him first.
Xiao Chen looked at this and that, carefully moved to Li's side, grabbed the corner of Li's clothes and walked out.
"Sister, let's go quickly. Don't let us get hurt by mistake."
