1720: Real Man?

Real Man?

Xie Wu and Xie Liu glanced at each other, both thinking that Young Master Xie appeared to be in a great mood. It was unlike how moody he had been the past few days. 2

They didn't know what exactly had happened, but they understood that it must have something to do with Young Madam.

Only she could cause such a change in Young Master Xie's emotions.

When they reported their updates the past several days, they could clearly sense the dreariness Young Master Xie felt from his face.

Moreover, they could tell the small changes between the couple's interactions. They seemed to have had a fight…

But it doesn't seem completely right too. It felt more like they were giving each other the silent treatment, and it appeared that Young Master Xie was the one who was ignoring Young Madam.

They couldn't fully comprehend it too. Didn't Young Master Xie value Young Madam more than his own life? How could he still bear to ignore her?

Judging the current circumstances, they felt that perhaps every relationship needed a little friction too. When this cold war between the two of them ends, they might end up even more loving than before!

All in all, nothing mattered more to them than Young Master Xie's good mood.

Now, they didn't need to be so cautious when they carried out their reports. They didn't need to worry that Young Master Xie would be grouchy.

When Young Master Xie relayed instructions to them, he even sounded more patient than usual.

After ending the meeting with the political department, Xie Limo didn't want to continue working anymore. He gave instructions for his subordinates to follow up,

Nothing was more important than spending time with his wife.

…

At the Imperial Princess Park

Xiajun Yanwu hadn't met Xie Limo for a few days. After hearing her subordinate's updates, her beautiful face lit up.

"Li Yan, are you saying that he hadn't been going to work for the past few days?"

"Yes, Princess."

Xiajun Yanwu gently caressed the petals of a flower and watered the plant. Turning around, she said, "Daddy's unwell, and the officers have also invited him to join the ranks. Didn't he agree to it already? Why isn't he going to work?"

Li Yan answered courteously, "I do not know why, but I've heard that Young Master Xie had applied for paternity leave. If there aren't important matters to attend to, he will keep his wife company at home."

A glint flashed across Xiajun Yanwu's eyes, and she asked, "Wife? Is he already married?"

"Yes, Princess."

Xiajun Yanwu lowered her head to look at her blooming flowers and muttered under her breath, "I've just returned and perhaps have overlooked too many things. So he is already married… How many months pregnant is she?"

Li Yan was stunned as he had never expected the princess to be interested in this. "I have failed you, Princess. I have yet to do a thorough check."

Xiajun Yanwu waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you weren't hired to do such things anyway. Keeping you by my side is already a waste of your talents."

"It is my honor to serve the princess."

Xiajun Yanwu pondered for a long time before speaking slowly, "After the meeting that day, I saw an article being published online. Search for it for me. I want to take a look."

"Yes, Princess!" Li Yan found the article using the tablet and passed it to Xiajun Yanwu.

Xiajun Yanwu browsed through the heated comments below. After a while, she said calmly, "So he cares a lot about his wife."

Li Yan replied respectfully, "I am not sure, Princess, but I have heard that Young Master Xie has done a lot for his wife. No one in Ning An City nor the capital dares to harm his wife now."

Xiajun Yanwu looked at the photo published alongside the article. As she continued looking, the look in her eyes grew increasingly hard to read.

After a moment, Xiajun Yanwu finally said, "Li Yan, as a man yourself, do you think that he's a real man?"
