Taking Xi Ling Away

Xi Ling stepped inside the garden with his short legs. His eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Gu Li. 

"Go to your room, Xiao Ling."

Li Rui said strictly and Xi Ling paused amidst his steps. This was the first time his mother has talked to him like this. 

However, after hearing Gu Li's words, he would not leave regardless of how much his mother will scold him later. 

The man wanted to harm his mother and sibling so how could he leave! It was his duty to protect his mother and sibling. 

That was what his father had taught him.

Putting both of his hands on his waist, Xi Ling stood in front of his mother and glared at Gu Li. His small frame didn't do much to cover Li Rui from Gu Li's attacks if the latter wanted to attack Li Rui. 

Li Rui immediately held his arm and tried to pull him behind but Xi Ling struggled. 

"Mother…No!"
