Ying Lili realized that Sheng Li was thoughtful since his childhood days. He did not want to make his father worry about him. It was tough for both father and son while the Empress was enjoying the show.
Sheng Li lifted his pointer finger and bent it slightly. Moving it down on Ying Lili's nose, he said, "Anger does not suit you." He then placed his palm on Ying Lili's face and caressed it.
