Chapter 12 - What If I Can't Cry?

When these words reached Ouyang Xuan's ears, he only heard "why don't you stay?" 

After a moment of shock, he almost could not suppress his excitement. The smile on his face gradually widened uncontrollably. "Then I'll accept your offer."

Jiang Yule walked out of the pigsty. Ouyang Xuan wanted to approach her and talk to her, but the big black pig suddenly twitched and squealed loudly at him. Ouyang Xuan was so frightened that he did not dare to go forward. 

Jiang Yule turned around slowly and gently said, "Sleep well, Princess. Mommy will come see you tomorrow."

Ouyang Xuan, who was frightened by the big black pig, had no time to react and catch up to Jiang Yule as she walked away. He glared at the big black pig with a vicious expression.

Since he was alone at the moment, he did not need to hide his true feelings and revealed all the malice in his heart. 

"You fat, stinky pig! Bullsh*t Princess! If you dare to squeal at me again, I'll seduce that woman and get her to turn you into a stew!" 

As he cursed at Princess to his heart's content, he did not notice the camera flashing with a green light in the corner of the pigsty.

...

That evening, Li Xingyi's assistant called and said that the master would be back for dinner, which made Aunt Wang and Li Sui'an happy. Aunt Wang busied about in the kitchen to prepare for his arrival, while Li Sui'an went to his room to change his clothes. 

As for Ouyang Xuan, no one knew where he had gone or what he was up to.

In the huge living room, only Jiang Yule, who had nothing to do, was sitting on the sofa and flipping through the channels on TV.

Jiang Yule switched to the news channel. The formally dressed host calmly reported that a psycho murderer had appeared in B City last week. She then switched the television off. None of the shows were interesting to her.

...

At 8 p.m., Li Xingyi's luxury car drove up to the entrance of the main residence. Jiang Yule, who had deliberately changed into a white dress that she had never worn before, stood by the door and waited quietly for her husband. When she saw Li Xingyi get out of the car with his long legs, she hurried over and stopped in front of him.

Jiang Yule raised her head and gazed at her husband affectionately with her doe-like eyes, and Li Xingyi did not ignore her presence like he did in the past. Instead, he stopped in his tracks and bent down to look at Jiang Yule as she drew closer.

"Master Li, I've been waiting for you."

'Tsk, why isn't there any wind today? It's affecting my performance too much… Damn it, I forgot to bring my eye drops. What if I can't cry?'

In the next second, Jiang Yule squeezed out two drops of tears.

"Yang Chen."

The bodyguard next to him replied in a low voice, "I'm here, Master Li." 

Li Xingyi walked past the teary Jiang Yule and said in a deep voice, "Fire that psychiatrist and find a better one."

His current psychiatrist claimed that he had cured nearly a thousand people's mental illnesses over the past three years. Who would believe that when he was still hearing things?!

Ouyang Xuan, who had come out with Aunt Wang and Li Sui'an, stood behind them and stared at the handsome man who made him feel inferior and jealous. 'So, this is the man who helped the Li Family secure their position as the richest family in the original story, Li Sui'an's backer—Li Xingyi.'

Li Sui'an ran forward and called out sweetly, "Uncle, you're back!" 

His big black eyes gazed lovingly at Li Xingyi. He was so cute that Li Xingyi wanted to pinch his face. He was a person who liked all cute things. However, as the overbearing CEO who was in charge of the global economic lifeline, he could not reveal that in front of others. He had to maintain an aloof façade at all times.

Therefore, he only gave a faint "hmm" and walked on. Li Sui'an's fluffy head drooped behind him, and he pouted his pink lips.

Most people looked good when seen from afar, but on closer inspection, the flaws on their faces would be more noticeable. However, Li Xingyi was different. Ouyang Xuan could see him very clearly under the bright illumination of the living room, and he could not see any flaws at all on Li Xingyi's face. In fact, he was even more handsome up-close. Especially his amber-colored pupils, which emitted a unique glow under the reflection of the lights.

"Hello, Master Li. I am Ouyang Xuan. I am the tutor in charge of teaching the young master. Today is my first day of work." His smile was polite and firm. He deliberately stood a step away from the other man to avoid letting Jiang Yule see that he was shorter than Li Xingyi by more than a head.

Li Xingyi swept his gaze over him coldly. His gaze, which carried the dignity of someone superior, seemed to see right through his gentle and refined appearance and into his innermost thoughts, causing Ouyang Xuan to instantly break out in a cold sweat. 

"You're just the tutor? Then, why are you still here at this late hour?" Li Xingyi asked bluntly.

Ouyang Xuan, who was trembling in fear, could not help but feel embarrassed when he heard this question.
