"Wow, Mother…this is so good."

Standing in front of the Tanghulu shop, Xi Ling said to Li Rui while forwarding the tanghulu stick in front of Li Rui.

Li Rui froze on hearing her son's words. She could feel the vendor's eyes on herself and she didn't need to know what kind of gaze it must be.

A smack came on Xi Ling's head. Although it was light, it made Xi Ling remember his mistake. He turned his neck a little and sure enough found his father looking at him with a strict face.

The small bun immediately corrected his words turning back to look at his mother once again.

"Uncle, Do you want to taste it?"

Li Rui sighed as she shook her head in negative.

Xi Ling was young so of course, it was not surprising that he would not remember being careful in his excitement.

Feeling the eyes of the vendor on herself even now, she finally looked at him calmly.

The vendor just looked at her for only a few seconds with a doubtful pair of eyes before he moved his eyes away abruptly.

It was a little difficult for him to look into those clean black eyes of this young man.

He didn't why but he could feel the cold seeping through his bones even though he had looked into them for only a few seconds. 

Inside his heart, he could already feel that the family standing in front of his stall was not ordinary but he didn't dare to dwell on this thing too much.

The only thing that mattered to him at this moment was that someone was buying his tanghulu sticks and he would be able to take some money back home when he will return in the evening.

After Xi Ling finished having one Tanghulu stick, he wanted to have another. However, Li Rui didn't want him to have so much sugar.

Seeing this, Xi Ying held his son's hand firmly and dragged him away from that stall. 

The small bun who was being dragged by his father pouted while turning his head to look at those tanghulu sticks.

He was sad.

However, his sadness was forgotten in the next few seconds as he saw many other things now that he had never seen before.

His big black eyes were filled with joy as he looked around at all those new things.

Li Rui too had come to like this sudden visit of the Imperial City.

Perhaps it was because she had not come out and visited this part of the Imperial City for so long now.

The place has many memories for her…some bitter and some sweet.

But she still felt refreshed.

Seeing the happiness on his wife and son's face, Xi Ying was of course very happy.

They were visiting the lively markets of Imperial City like an ordinary family who had come to Imperial City to buy a few things…until something happened.

Standing outside a shop that had a few games for the children, Li Rui was helping Xi Ling in detailing their rules when an elderly woman suddenly grabbed her shoulder.

Li Rui was startled and frowned at the sudden touch.

She twisted her arm and tried to free herself but the old woman's grip was too tight. When Li Rui looked at the elder woman, she didn't seem to find her having any bad intentions towards her, so she also didn't struggle fiercely thinking that her actions would harm the old woman.

However, Xi Ying was very dissatisfied especially when he heard the old woman's asking his wife.

"Young Man, Don't mind this old lady's straightforwardness but are you married already?"

The old woman said as she looked at Li Rui's glowing face with bright eyes.

'This young man was so beautiful ah…'       

She couldn't help but feel regret inside her heart as to why she was so old already. If only she had been a young maiden, she would have married him.

But for now, if she could take him away for her daughter …that would be fine too. 

Thinking this, the old woman's regretful eyes became bright again and she told Li Rui who was in men's clothing at this moment.

"Young Man, I have a niece. There…"

She pointed towards a corner of the street. Seeing the eager face of the woman, Li Rui sighed and looked in the direction she was pointing.

A young girl of around sixteen years was standing at the end of the street.

She was glancing at Li Rui every few seconds. However, when she would find that Li Rui was also looking towards her, she would blush strongly and then lower her head."

"Isn't my niece beautiful? She is noticing you since the moment you have entered this market and she likes you very much. I, too, like you very much for her. Why don't you come with me and talk to her for a few moments? You will surely lik…"

Xi Ying's face was black after hearing the old woman's words.

His whole body was oozing ruthless aura as he walked towards the old woman and then pulled his wife out of her hold.

He then stood in front of Li Rui …covering her completely from the old woman's bright eyes. This old woman just didn't seem right to him, especially because of the way she looked at Li Rui.

As if she wanted to devour his wife then and there.

The thought made his eyes get colder. 

Looking at the old woman coldly, he said

"He is already married."

Saying this, he held Li Rui's hand, with other Xi Ling's small hand and turned around to leave the market.

Xi Ying had thought that the old woman would stop after this. However, he didn't know that she was too persistent.       

The old woman blocked his way and then looked at him eagerly.

"I see, Young Man. Are you his elder brother?"

Looking at the young child held by Xi Ying, she only thought that it must be from the elder brother. After all, the young man looked too young to have this grown-up child.

She looked away too hurriedly when she saw how black Xi Ling's face was. It seemed that his mother was not beautiful as her niece. The old woman thought inside her heart.

And from the clothes that they wore…it seems that even their family condition was not good.

They must be from some village. 

Xi Ying frowned but nodded his head answering the old woman's question. However, when the old woman said her next words, his face went black again.

"Your family condition doesn't seem to be good to me. Why don't we make a deal? I will buy this young man from you for my niece.. This old lady promises you that your brother will live very comfortably in this old woman's house."
