1602 Married Only In Name And Nothing Else (1/2)
Li Xiao didn't bother with formalities and simply strode in.
Li Jinnan didn't reside there often. Compounded with the fact that he had been extremely busy over the past few days, the sitting room was in a bit of a mess.
Ye Youyou was a little embarrassed and said, ”We haven't had the time to tidy up the place. Uncle, please make do.”
Li Xiao looked around and said, ”It's fine. You won't be staying here in the future anyway.”
Um…
Ye Youyou couldn't make out the underlying meaning of his words. She could only look toward Li Jinnan pleadingly for help.
Li Jinnan stepped forward and gently said, ”Don't be afraid. My dad isn't fierce.”
Indeed, he wasn't fierce. But at one glance, he certainly struck an imposing figure. It was the feeling she had when had first met Li Jinnan. It was a feeling of distance and aloofness.
Ye Youyou pursed her lips and glanced at Li Xiao subconsciously. In a tiny voice, she asked, ”Do you have water at home?”
”You're scared of my father?” Li Jinnan chuckled as a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes. ”Am I scarier or is my dad scarier?”
Ye Youyou saw that he was teasing her and started to get annoyed. She reached out to pinch his arm and said, ”Stop fooling around. Your dad is watching. I'll check if there's anything to drink.”
With that, Ye Youyou turned and left.
Li Jinnan turned back to his father and asked, ”Dad, what are you doing here?”
Li Xiao was standing with his hands behind his back. He didn't take a seat. When he heard that question, he harrumphed and replied, ”I am here to check if you're still alive! I heard that your girlfriend was being imprisoned and you were trying to get her out. Is this another one?”
Li Jinnan looked at Li Xiao and laughed sheepishly. He responded, ”Bad news travels fast indeed. Did you find out about it from Mom?”
”Don't change the subject!” Li Xiao lowered his voice. His tone carried an indescribable sense of sternness when he growled, ”If you dare to behave promiscuously, I'll break your damn legs!”
