Just held his cane and observed his silver-tongued Grandson. It was obvious he was provoking him. This was his way of retaliating for the attack.

Li Yuan wanted him to snap and attack so he could show his dominance. Youngblood!

Anybody else in Li Yuan's place would have his bones decayed by now, but this Grandson of his was too useful to be left to be eaten by pests.

Lei Xinyi glanced at the Old Master Li's cane and she immediately felt excited, all her fear was evaporating.

s.h.i.+ny things always had that effect on him.

The cane was made of silver with intricate rose gold vine-like design with a thumb-size Ruby on top. It ranged from 4cm diameter on the peak to 2cm to the bottom. It was about 40 inches long.

One had to notice that it would make a fortune once sold. Lei Xinyi fell in love immediately, looking at the beauty in front of her.

Li Yuan had his one hand wrapped around her and the other subtly rubbing her lower belly. They were practically sitting hip to hip as Li Yuan had kept their chairs too close to each other.

Li Yuan had always been this touchy with her so she didn't pay it much thought, though it bothered her that they were in the room with cold-blooded murderers.

Although Lei Xinyi didn't think too much of the gesture but Old Master Li who was observing them like a hawk sure got what he was looking for.

Lei Xinyi was feeling hyper-aware of the things going on around her. She frowned.

She was getting too emotional that she wasn't able to control her sentiments.

Sure, she was having her periods, but she never had this amount of mood swings.

At once, she felt a pain erupting in her stomach and her hand flew to her stomach then she felt nausea hitting her with full force, "Li Yuan!"

Li Yuan's hand flew to her stomach. He looked at her as pain contoured her features and quickly got on his feet and guided her out of the dining hall.

Everybody in the room was stunned and silenced when Old Master Li regained his senses.

'First the emotional state of the woman then mood swings and now this! And even the brat saved her from the fork he threw at her, which very was unlike him! Could it be...'

Old Master Li saw them leaving the hall and indicated The Butler to follow them.

Li Yuan took her to the nearest bathroom., Lei Xinyi felt her stomach churning and bent down on the toilet to puke her guts out.

Li Yuan held her hair and rubbed her back soothingly while murmuring sweet nothings to her.

He looked behind him to see the Butler standing with water, a towel, and some medicines. He took the stuff from his hands and turned to Lei Xinyi to hide his smirk.

The Butler wasn't here to help them but he was fis.h.i.+ng information for his Master and the message was well-received it looked, from the shocked expressions of the Butler.

Lei Xinyi frowned as Li Yuan gave her water to rinse her mouth, then cleaned her face with a feather-like touch with the towel.

Was he bipolar or what?! Why was he treating her like she was his pregnant wife who he loved Oh-so-much?! And why wasn't he the least bit surprised?! It was like he was expecting it!

Then her thoughts drifted to the drug tablet he gave her. 'Yes! That's it, it definitely was because of the drug, he fed her!'

Lei Xinyi sharply turned to him, "Is it happening because of the..."

Before Lei Xinyi could end the sentence Li Yuan cut her off.

"Yes, Sweetheart. It is, you will be alright, I have already booked an appointment for this week." He said in a lover's tone while caressing her cheek.

Lei Xinyi looked at him with confusion.

What the h.e.l.l was he talking about?! Is he high or what?! First, he gave her a drug, then he is taking her to a doctor! And when did he book an appointment?! Was this pre-planned?!

All in all, her stomach was aching now, what's the benefit of taking her to a Doctor at the end of the week?!

Lei Xinyi shook her head to clear her wild thoughts. She didn't understand a thing that was going on since entering the Mansion.

"What are you..."

Li Yuan cut her off again, "Baby Darling, we can talk about this later. Right now we need to give company to the Elders so we can leave. You need your rest."

He heard the footsteps of the Butler fading, and he smirked.

Let's get this show on the road!

After that he didn't wait for her to make sense of what he was saying but dragged her to the Dinning room again.

The Butler was already there and was whispering something in his Grandfather's ear. Old Master Li looked at them with a sharp glance as if dissecting the situation with his eyes.

Then he turned to his wife, "Take Lu Xinyi in the Gardens to have a chat. We have a business to discuss. We will join you shortly for the late Afternoon Tea."

Old Madam Li looked at Lei Xinyi as if she was looking at a scrawny beggar, then turned to her husband.

She opened her mouth to argue otherwise, but one look from her husband was enough to shut her up.

She rose to her feet with a posture of an Empress, which she might as well be.

"We will be waiting."
