The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan

Chapter 448: What are you looking at like that? (Second update) Chapter 448: What are you looking at like that? (Second update) Li Rui had people move down the chests, and when the lid of the wooden boxes were opened, they were filled with gold and silver jewelry, gemstones and jade objects, precious antiques, famous calligraphy and painting, and so on.

The family was stunned at the sight before them.

Yelu Yan was being quite generous.

Li Xianyi, always direct with her words, said, “Father, Mother, Yelu Yan seems to treat Older Sister quite well.”

If he didn’t care for a woman, why would he go through so much effort to please her family?

Not only had Yelu Yan sent an escort for Sheng Heng’s return, he had also sent such valuable gifts; every move he made seemed faultless.

However, relying solely on Sheng Heng’s words was indeed biased.

Li Rui, Qiu Qianyun, and Li Xianyi all felt somewhat swayed, while only Li Shaojun remained stubborn in his views.

“Father, Mother, do not be blinded by these things,” he said.

Li Rui responded, “It’s too early to say anything now. Yelu Yan has invited us to the Khitan for the wedding banquet, haven’t he? We will know then how he treats Xianxian.”

Hearing this, Li Shaojun could only hold his peace.

He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, thinking that a person as adept at political intrigue as Yelu Yan really knew how to win people over.

One moment, the whole family was rejecting Yelu Yan because of Sheng Heng’s reaction, and the next, they were adopting a wait-and-see attitude toward him because of the letter he wrote and the actions he took.

As Li Xianyun drifted between sleep and wakefulness, she felt a warm touch on her cheek, along with a slightly ticklish sensation.

She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Yelu Yan’s handsome face, close at hand.

He was kissing her cheek.

Seeing Li Xianyun awake, Yelu Yan, with his broad body leaning on the bed, lifted his hand to gently stroke the hair from her forehead. He gazed at her intently, his lips curved in a smile, “Xianxian, do you know what time it is? Are you still asleep?”
