The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 889 - 473: Father and Son (Third Update)

"So I will discuss with you later about the matters concerning the Bai Family." Xiao Jinxing’s eyes tightened, and the ferocity in them was terrifying.

Wu Xufan was stunned for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Do you intend to act against the Bai Family?"

"It depends on their attitude." Xiao Jinxing stated plainly, "If they are wise, I won’t truly diminish their status in the court; if they are ungrateful, I can also choose not to recognize old ties!"

Wu Xufan gasped again.

Who exactly is it that can drive Xiao Jinxing to such extremes?

To transform such a soulless man into someone with flesh and blood, calculating for his own life.

Wu Xufan, excited, wanted to ask something else.

Eunuch Ping walked into the main hall, respectfully said, "Your Majesty, the young prince is waiting outside."

Xiao Jinxing responded.

At this moment, the hand holding the memorial seemed to tremble slightly.

Wu Xufan saw it clearly.

So Xiao Jinxing feels a hint of reluctance when seeing Xiao Yanqi?!

For he is about to act against his true family and feels guilty towards Xiao Yanqi, calling him over late at night for comfort?

Since when has Xiao Jinxing become so kind?

Wu Xufan thought this and turned his head.

At the moment he turned.

His body visibly shuddered.

Nearly fell directly to the ground.

Has he seen a ghost?!

How has he seen Xiao Jinxing from childhood?

Wu Xufan turned back to look at Xiao Jinxing again.

He hasn’t shrunk!

So who exactly is this sudden little Xiao Jinxing?!

An Luming walked into the main hall at this moment, not noticing Wu Xufan’s expression, if he did, perhaps he would suspect himself of being too ugly and scaring people, all his attention was attracted by the man before him who looked exactly like him.

He knew this was Xiao Jinxing, his biological father.

He should call him father here.

And he was very aware, despite his mother’s silence, he felt it, his mother hoped they could get along peacefully.

So at that moment.

He properly bowed, "Your son greets Father."

Xiao Jinxing’s hand shook noticeably more.

Wu Xufan nearly fainted from shock.

When did Xiao Jinxing have such a son.

Looks about three? Four?!

Xiao Jinxing has been a monk for so many years, did the child emerge from a stone?!

And in that instant, Wu Xufan understood.

The person Xiao Jinxing wants to confer a title to is certainly this boy’s mother.

But who has the ability to stealthily steal Xiao Jinxing’s lineage?!

How could someone like Xiao Jinxing be charmed?!

He once thought, with the passing of Ye Qichi, Xiao Jinxing’s abilities were perhaps incomplete.

But now a child appears.

Wu Xufan’s mind was about to explode; he was about to ask for the whole story.

"Wu Xufan, you may leave now." Xiao Jinxing suddenly ordered.

"Minister..."

"Eunuch Ping." Xiao Jinxing knew Wu Xufan too well, and could only expel him.

"Your Majesty, you’ve tempted me this far and now you ask me to leave, isn’t this torment? If I don’t know the truth, can I sleep tonight?!" Wu Xufan was grief-stricken.

He might really suffocate.

"That’s your affair, not related to me, I have more important things to handle!" Xiao Jinxing commanded sternly, "Escort out!"

"I say, Xiao Jinxing..." Wu Xufan angrily babbled.

His voice gradually faded in the hall.

Thus.

Only Xiao Jinxing and An Luming remained, staring at each other.

Xiao Jinxing controlled his heartbeat, looked at An Luming with a calm expression, and said in a composed voice, "Rise."

"Thank you, Father." An Luming stood up.

Then stood properly.

No longer speaking proactively, exceedingly quiet, excessively proper.

Their first real meeting as father and son ended in sudden silence.

An Luming’s composure and reserved nature, not showing his temper, indeed does... resemble him.

Xiao Jinxing took a long time to ease up, then seemingly casually asked, "What’s your name?"

"An Luming."

"From now on follow my surname Xiao, Xiao Luming."

"My name was given by mother, if Father is displeased, he can seek mother’s opinion, if mother agrees to change it, then I will." An Luming spoke with dignity, clearly.

Xiao Jinxing scrutinizing him.

An Luming also gazed back at him, unafraid.

After all, both equally unattractive.

No need to feel inferior.

"Four years old?" Xiao Jinxing decided not to wrangle over it, asked again.

"Yes."

"What do you enjoy doing usually?"

"Reading and learning."

"Do you know martial arts?"

"Yes." An Luming added, "At a basic level."

Xiao Jinxing nodded slightly.

He gained an initial understanding of An Luming.

He then said, "Seeing me for the first time, is there anything you want to ask me?"

"No." An Luming replied directly.

Xiao Jinxing frowned.

"Mother said, she’ll be taking me and sister away from Father in half a year. There’s no need to know too much about unfamiliar people." An Luming looked composed.

So.

His son is indirectly criticizing him for asking too much now, implying it’s a foolish thing?!

Xiao Jinxing laughed a little.

Also understanding, An Luming’s proactive responses were merely to accommodate, not like his own, with emotion.

Indeed just as An Ning said, Luming is different from Youyou, very different.

But there will be time in the future.

Since their personalities align, he knows how to win over An Luming.

Xiao Jinxing changed his tone, "It’s late, time to bathe and rest."

"Yes, I take my leave." An Luming still maintained respect.

Also didn’t care what Xiao Jinxing thought at the moment.

Just behaved appropriately, doing what he should do.

Quietly accompanying his mother, spending half a year in the Imperial Palace.

He turned to leave.

"Eunuch Ping." Xiao Jinxing commanded, "Take the young prince to my imperial pool."

"Servant obeys!"

Eunuch Ping respectfully escorted An Luming into the emperor’s private pool.

There were already palace attendants waiting to bathe and clothe An Luming.

An Luming didn’t like being served by too many, but he wouldn’t resist.

Before outsiders, he habitually concealed his emotions.

An Luming’s small, bare body walked into the imperial pool.

Just sat on the stone steps within the pool.

Saw Xiao Jinxing suddenly enter as well.

An Luming turned his head to the side, stubbornly not looking at Xiao Jinxing, simply dislikes bathing together.

From childhood to now, it’s always been just him alone.

Xiao Jinxing naturally deciphered his thoughts.

Since childhood, he too disliked intimacy with anyone.

Even before his mother consort was harmed, he maintained distance.

"Come here, let me scrub your back." Xiao Jinxing said.

An Luming unwillingly moved over, sat before Xiao Jinxing, back facing him.
