Seeing this, Li Yun felt even more vexed.
He became more and more convinced that this defiant son was doing it on purpose.
'Otherwise, why would this be happening? He used to be so easy to manage. How did he become so troublesome right after meeting Ming Lingyi? Why is he opposing me in everything?'
When Ming Lingyi saw that Li Yun remained silent, her anger still hadn't cooled. "Since the Emperor thinks this is all fun and games, he can play by himself." With that, Ming Lingyi bent down, her tone shifting to one of gentle affection. "Huazhao, let's go."
Li Yan gripped his mother's hand tightly, but he couldn't resist sneaking a glance at his father before whispering, "...Okay."
Li Yun stood where he was, raising a hand to rub his brow.
Just as Ming Lingyi was about to brush past him, he reached out and caught her wrist.
"Yuan Niang, you can't bully me like this," Li Yun murmured, leaning in to whisper by Ming Lingyi's ear.
