C158 Uninvited Guest

After returning to his residence, Lee Xiang couldn't help but feel incomparably tired. He was thinking about whether he had gone a little too far by doing this today.

No matter what, Count Walker was still his biological father. And today, in such a public place, wouldn't it be a bit cruel to make him lose face? Would it be a bit heartless?

To be honest, although he had won against Count Walker today, he didn't know why. There wasn't the slightest feeling of happiness in his heart. Instead, there was a kind of emotion that he couldn't vent. It was firmly stuck in his chest, making him unable to breathe.

He was very curious as to why he had this kind of feeling.

Walking into the study, Lee Xiang let out a long sigh. He needed to sort out his thoughts properly. To be honest, he suddenly had a feeling of being at a loss and helpless.

"Why are you sighing? "A gentle voice suddenly sounded not far away from him. "Did you encounter something unhappy? My child!"

Because he was too focused, Lee Xiang was shocked by the sudden voice, but then he laughed. This voice was too familiar to him, because even after he came here, he still often thought of it in his dreams.

His mother, the beautiful countess, came.

At this moment, she was sitting on the chair that Lee Xiang often made. Her beautiful eyes were staring at his son, and a kind of tenderness that only Lee Xiang could understand flashed in her eyes.

"Can you tell me?" countess slowly got up and walked to Lee Xiang's side. She looked at Lee Xiang who was in a daze and asked softly.

Lee Xiang only slightly calmed the annoying thoughts in his heart and immediately forced himself to return to normal. He smiled bitterly and said, "I just thought of some annoying things. "

A trace of disappointment flashed across countess's face when she saw Lee Xiang's reservation. She nodded helplessly, but then she looked at Lee Xiang with tenderness again. "You have lost a lot of weight, but you have also become much stronger. It seems that you have been living a happy life these days. . . "

Lee Xiang was silent. Although he felt very warm in his heart, he still did not know how to answer. What was worth comforting was that the suppressed feeling just now had magically eased up a lot. This feeling was very good.

"I just came from my father, where did your grandfather come from. . . He told me that you were very good and outstanding. You helped him do many things that he did not dare to or did not do, especially at such a crucial moment. . . "

"After all, I am a member of the Ronton family now. When I am needed, I have no reason to hide!" Lee Xiang nodded. To be honest, after seeing this woman, he still felt an impulse in his heart.

"I used to live in this house before. I didn't expect it to be your turn now. . . " Maybe she saw that Lee Xiang did not want to get entangled in this topic, so countess naturally changed the topic.

"I know!" Lee Xiang nodded. It was not that he did not have anything to say. Strictly speaking, he did not know where to start. After all, they hadn't really interacted for so many years.

"Can you accompany me to the courtyard for a walk?" countess seemed to have seen through Lee Xiang's thoughts. She smiled and said.

Of course, Li Yao could not object. He couldn't refuse either.

The two of them walked in the courtyard that was not very big. Countess looked around with interest and nodded from time to time. To her, this was once a place she had stayed when she was a child. Her feelings were probably not inferior to the Count's Mansion in the Imperial Capital, or even much higher. After all, it carried a lot of her dreams when she was young.

Lee Xiang had been quietly following behind her, but when she was not paying attention, Only then did he concentrate on looking at her beautiful back. To him, this feeling was the most comfortable. Moreover, he did not need to worry about being discovered. Most importantly, he did not need to hide his feelings. Because ever since this woman didn't care about her husband's objections and made him come here, In his heart, he no longer blamed her for being ruthless, and his hatred towards her also miraculously faded away. After all, she was just a woman.

"I thought that the situation here would change a lot. I didn't think that it would still be the same as before. . . " countess's eyes were filled with excitement and sadness.

"Haven't you thought about changing it?" countess suddenly turned her head and looked at Lee Xiang, who was quietly following behind her.

Lee Xiang hurriedly avoided the gaze of focusing on her back and said in a panic, "I am more at ease with what I see, and I am also very lazy. . . "

In fact, he wanted to answer, This used to be the place you used to live in. However, when the words were about to come out of his mouth, he did not say it in the end.

Countess could clearly feel Lee Xiang's burning gaze, so she suddenly turned around to confirm. Although Lee Xiang dodged very quickly, in fact, she still found the emotions that Lee Xiang had never revealed. Although the feelings that appeared out of nowhere were quickly concealed, she still felt it clearly. That was enough.

Countess sighed slightly. A trace of guilt and helplessness flashed across her eyes. After a slight hesitation, she continued, "You have seen your father just now, right?"

Father? Lee Xiang smiled. It was a bit funny to use this term in such an occasion. He had not only seen him, but there had also been a fierce collision between them.

"I have indeed seen Count, but I think my actions today might make him unhappy. . . "

Countess did not find it strange at all. She nodded and said, "I can imagine that my father has already reminded me!"

Lee Xiang was slightly stunned. He originally wanted to ask Ronton how he had reminded her, but in the end, he held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"In fact, he has no other choice, so you have to forgive his difficulties!" countess's words were a little ambiguous.

However, Lee Xiang understood what she meant.

"No matter what, I won't give in on the principle. Even if he is the famous Count Walker of Rinker family, he won't be an exception. It just so happens that. . . Since you are here today, tell me something. . . " Lee Xiang sighed. Originally, he didn't want to say this, but after seeing his beautiful and kind mother, he didn't know why. He suddenly felt a strong reluctance in his heart. Take it as repayment for Count Walker's kindness of raising her for more than ten years. Because on the way back just now, he had analyzed some very complicated problems.

Countess was slightly stunned. Lee Xiang continued, "If I were Count Walker, I would refuse such an appointment. Perhaps in Count's eyes, the matter in Silo Province this time was a political opportunity for him, but once it failed, It was very likely that he would lose the trust of the imperial capital. The current situation here was much more complicated than any other place. It wasn't as simple as you thought. It's just a simple border conflict. It also involves the positioning of the empire and Silo Province. . . "

"You mean. . . " Although countess was not good at politics, she still held a high position in the end. She had been influenced by Walker for a long time, so she could more or less understand a little.

"Yes. . . " Lee Xiang sighed sadly. "This is also the reason why grandpa was bedridden and could not get up. Uncle being captured is just one of the reasons. I think Count should know better than anyone else the cause of the fire, but even if he knows it very well. . . He still chose to accept the appointment of the empire without hesitation. I think Grandpa should be very sad to see such a situation. But he had no other choice. Because Count was simply playing a political gamble, but unfortunately. . . In my opinion, his chances of winning this kind of gamble aren't high. Furthermore, it is very likely that he will lose terribly. . . "

Countess was silent for a while. She suddenly remembered the strange expression on his face when he just walked out of her father's room. Now that she thought about it, it might be as Lee Xiang had said. Her husband might have thrown her father and father-in-law's interests to the back of his mind for the sake of the empire's interests.

"Why are you so confident?" But countess still felt that it was unbelievable. She did not understand why her son had such strong confidence.

"Why not? Because I am here!" Lee Xiang turned his head to the other side. For some reason, he suddenly seemed to be afraid of seeing her eyes.

Countess suddenly took a few steps back and almost fell down. But in the end, she still managed to stand there. Her beautiful eyes looked at Lee Xiang helplessly. She realized that she really could not understand her son. That was true. It seemed like she had never understood him in all these years. But now, this feeling was even more intense. After a long time, "Tell me, what should I do now?" Lee Xiang looked deeply at the worried woman in front of him. He could understand her confusion and helplessness, because she had to face the two most important men in her life. Her husband and her father. Of course, there might be three of them, as well as a son. To be honest, he suddenly felt that he was a bit cruel. After all, this woman was his own mother. Although his starting point was to hope that Count Walker could quit the game in time, it seemed that he should tell Walker that it was his wife.

"Let's go back to the capital!" Lee Xiang sighed to himself. "If I were Count Walker, I would choose to watch the show instead of acting. Because this kind of show is very difficult to perform, and the main character is never him. He is your father and the king of the empire, so no matter how good Count Walker's acting is, After all, he is just a very good and conscientious supporting role, even though he is a supporting role with a lot of role to play. The greatest glory will never belong to him. . . "

"Why didn't you tell him yourself?" countess's face was desolate and desolate.

"Between us. . . " Lee Xiang smiled bitterly. "Do you think we can communicate peacefully like this? Don't forget that my father once wanted to kill me. . . "

Countess fell silent again. Although Lee Xiang finally admitted that Walker was his father, he did not feel the slightest bit of father-son relationship from his tone. There was even a chill that made one's bones shiver.
