Chapter 947 Preference and Exceptions
After hearing what Cheng Xi said today, Shi Li was stunned.
My mind was a little confused. I didn't know what to say for a moment, and I couldn't figure out why Cheng Xi said that.
Yes, Shi Li didn't believe a word he said.
Although the two had only been married for a few years and had not spent much time together, Shi Li's intuition told her that Cheng Xi was not telling the truth.
So why would he tell such a lie?
Seeing that Shi Li remained silent, Cheng Xi walked up to her, held her hand, and looked into her eyes very seriously.
"Does Lili dislike me?"
"I don't dislike it at all!" Shi Li answered almost reflexively, and then looked at Cheng Xi with an indescribable look.
To be honest, it is really difficult to comment on the fact that an ancient man told such a lie to his wife.
Just mess with her.
After a pause, Shi Li swallowed what was in her heart and looked back at Cheng Xi, "So what do you need me to cooperate with you in?"
Cheng Xi was obviously amused by her serious look, and he stroked her cheek lovingly with his fingers.
"Lili, you don't have to do anything. We are just husband and wife, and I can't hide my affairs from you."
Very good, Shi Li admired the fact that he could lie without blinking an eye.
But he couldn't help but be naughty and blinked his eyes, "Really? Are you sure you are not hiding anything from me?"
This unexpected question made Cheng Xi slightly stunned, then he turned his head with a smile without saying a word.
She changed the subject naturally, "In the future, whether in the mansion or elsewhere... there will be a lot of things to do. I found a helper for you and will ask her to come see you tomorrow."
"Okay, but I miss my brother a little bit. Can you let your brother come to see me?" Shi Li smiled sweetly and made a request to Cheng Xi that was not excessive at all.
Gongsun Rong is now Cheng Xi's absolute right-hand man. With him around, even if Shi Li has never provided any help to Cheng Xi in his career, people outside never dare to underestimate this unknown Princess Qin.
Cheng Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said "OK".
He had no reason to refuse Shi Li from meeting Gongsun Rong, but he could explain what needed to be said before the brother and sister met.
Unfortunately, Cheng Xi underestimated Shi Li. She didn't even think of asking Gongsun Rong, but instead started from another direction and secretly asked her trusted maid to invite Doctor Xu over.
When she saw Doctor Xu, Shi Li wanted to test him in a subtle way, but unexpectedly Doctor Xu seemed to know what she was going to ask and waved his hand with a smile.
"Princess, there is no need to say more. I am only here to check your pulse."
Doctor Xu said, glancing at Shi Li's surprised expression, "But I heard an interesting story outside, would you like to listen to it, Princess?"
If Shi Li couldn't hear the hidden meaning of this sentence, then she would be a fool.
"Please go ahead, Mr. Xu. I'd like to hear the details."
Doctor Xu then took Shi Li's pulse slowly and told her a story about "someone else".
Doctor Xu also knew that Cheng Xi originally wanted to hide his physical condition from Shi Li.
But from a doctor's perspective, he felt that if Shi Li could understand the situation herself and pay more attention to it, it would be better for her health.
After listening to "others'" story, Shi Li lowered her eyes, her voice trembling slightly.
"If I were the wife in the story, I would definitely try my best to live a few more years so that his efforts would not be in vain."
"Your Highness is right." Doctor Xu looked at Shi Li with a smile, "Your Highness is in good health. Just take the pills I prepared for you on time every day."
Smart people don't need to be too explicit when talking to each other. Shi Li nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu. I won't forget it."
After sending Doctor Xu away with emotion, Shi Li turned back to her room, closed her eyes and took a long breath.
A tear quietly flowed down the corner of my eye.
She had never thought that Cheng Xi would go to such a length, and it was impossible for her not to be moved.
But before the mood could ease, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and then Cheng Xi pushed the door and walked in.
His face was filled with obvious anxiety.
When he heard that Doctor Xu was invited to the palace by Shi Li, he guessed that Shi Li wanted to ask Doctor Xu something, but he was also worried that Shi Li was not feeling well, so he hurried back.
