Chapter 803 - Marriage Bedroom

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ling was touched. He always understood her intentions.

Indeed, the best way to solve this situation was to make Su Tang and Li Rui move out. However, that would seem as if they were chased out of their own home and they would be humiliated. If she moved out with Li Lei, things would be different. Even if people gossiped, it would not be as bad if Su Tang moved out.

Besides, Su Tang saved Li Lei’s life before.

No matter how unwilling Xia Ling was, she could not neglect this point. She loved Li Lei and was unwilling to let him feel guilty over that woman. No... Li Lei did not remember Su Tang for his entire life because she was kind but because he felt guilty. That was something she did not wish to see.

She had to make Su Tang fade in his heart.

Li Lei leaned over beside her and looked at the map for a long time. He raised his head and said to her, “Why do you have to find a house that’s already there? We can just build our own house. This place is not bad.” He pointed to an area near the mountains and ocean. “The scenery is very beautiful and it’s very quiet. It’s easy to defend and difficult to attack. You will like it.”

Xia Ling’s curiosity was piqued and also looked at the map.

Indeed, it was not bad. She really liked it. She said, “We can build a very big villa. It also needs to have extremely luxurious bedrooms, a beautiful terrace, and a child’s room... In the future, we can look at the sea with Shaohui.”

Seeing that she was being imaginative, he smiled. “Marriage bedroom.”

“What?” She did not hear him clearly.

Li Lei lightly touched her nose. With a gentle voice, he said, “When the house is built, marry me.”

Finally, she understood him and her face turned red. “No way.” Her voice was soft.

“Bring Shaohui over too.” Li Lei said, “Let’s live happily as a family of three.” He already planned to look for Xia Moyan to bring Shaohui back home once he settled his family’s business and his power was stabilized.

Xia Ling was lost in her thoughts. The prospect of her being able to live happily with her family of three made her heartbeat race in excitement.

She softly acknowledged him as if she agreed to his proposal.

Li Lei was satisfied and gently kissed her.

He looked for architects and a construction team to create the “marriage room” of their dreams. Xia Ling was fully in charge of them. Women naturally loved to build their own homes.

Sure enough, Xia Ling was very happy about being in charge of designing her house. She discussed with the architect daily and did many site checkups. She never imagined that she would be able to design her own house. In her past life, after Pei Ziheng singlehandedly destroyed their love, Xia Ling thought that her heart would be dead forever and she would lose all confidence in love.

Luckily, there was Li Lei.

As if she were traveling along a familiar road in a light carriage, she worked out a very beautiful illustration with the architect.

There was an uproar in the Li Family. Many people talked about it and congratulated them on their new love nest.

Some also talked about Su Tang. There were a few people who sympathized with her, but few dared to mention this topic in front Su Tang. The new house “Qing Hui Yuan” became a taboo.

Su Tang hid in her own house and looked at her face in the mirror.

She was really pretty and more delicate than Ye Xingling. Why did Li Lei not even glance at her? What good was that woman?!

Su Tang refused to face reality and crushed a flower in her hand until it was broken into pieces.

Li Rui threw a tantrum. “I don’t want that bad woman! I don’t want dad to move!”

Su Tang hugged him with tears in her eyes. “Xiao Rui, don’t cry. It’s all that bad woman’s fault. She’s the reason why dad doesn’t want us. You must remember that Shaohui and her are our enemies.”

Li Rui nodded vigorously as his tears fell out in hatred. “I hope that they die a horrible death!”

In approval, Su Tang stroked his head.

She went to look for Li Lei and said to him, “Young Master, I know that Xiao Rui is not your biological son, and I wouldn’t dare to ask for more. However, can you let Xiao Rui move in with you? The child is innocent and doesn’t know about his status. These days, he keeps crying because he thinks his dad doesn’t want him.”

Li Lei looked at the woman in front of him who was as delicate as a blooming flower.

He remembered that she was his loyal companion for so many years, so he softened his voice. “I understand what you mean, but Xiao Rui doesn’t like Xiao Ling and doesn’t get along with Shaohui. If he lives with us, everyone will be unhappy. Ah Tang..” He looked at Su Tang’s eyes. “I’m indebted to you and will always think about you. However, you should let Xiao Rui remain by your side. At the start, you persevered to give birth to him, so he should grow up with you and accompany you when you’re old.”

Su Tang hated herself for saying too much in the past. Her face was filled with melancholy. “However, Xiao Rui is unhappy...”

“This place is very close to my grandpa.” Li Lei interrupted her. “Grandpa really likes Xiao Rui and takes care of children well. That year, I was brought up by my grandpa. With grandpa accompanying Xiao Rui, you don’t have to worry.”

After thinking about it, he added, “Xiao Rui can also accompany grandpa. He’s very lonely as well.”

His last sentence eliminated all possibilities of Su Tang’s request. Just like how his guilt weighed him down, Su Tang could not reject filial piety.

She became more resentful. This time, she hated Old Master Li for being a roadblock.

However, she was powerless and could only suppress her indignance. “Well then... Take care Young Master.”

Li Lei consoled her. “If Xiao Rui misses me, you can bring him to see me.”

Su Tang nodded silently.

She watched as Xia Ling designed a blueprint with her architect. Soon, the foundations of the house were laid and building started.

She thought it was too fast, but Xia Ling thought it was too slow.

Xia Ling frequently laid down beside the blueprint and counted as the days went by. “When will it be finished?”

Li Lei laughed at her. “Do you think a house is built so quickly? At least one and a half year is needed. After I settle the entire underground world, let’s return to China. The next time we come here, it will be time for us to move in.”

Xia Ling nodded sadly.

Li Lei stabilized his power at a shocking speed. Soon, everything was restored to its well-organized state and everyone who thought that the Li Family was a joke was cruelly beaten up. The entire underground world was alarmed at Second Young Master Li’s atrocity. They realized that he was more difficult to deal with than Old Master Li.

All of the bigshots in the triad world respected him.

Li Lei said to Xia Ling, “We can let grandpa out now.”

Xia Ling asked, “Wasn’t he under house arrest?”

Li Lei said, “The change of power is complete. Everyone is under my control now. Even if grandpa is out, he won’t be able to cause any waves. No matter what, he’s still my grandfather and it’s time for him to spend his remaining days happily.”
