Bab 503: Chi Rui in the palace.

Even though the plan was not to be intoxicated, a few of the women were tipsy by the time they left the bar. Chi Lian was sober but Cherry was not, she was one of the tipsy ones. So when Ringo grudgingly drove her home and tried to put her to bed, she kept jumping up and trying to escape, calling him a kidnapper. It was a long night for him which he spent with one eye open. 

In the morning, true to what she said, Rize welcomed Chi Rui that came with many gifts to the palace to meet her parents. 

"Are you ready?" she asked Chi Rui. 

He shook his head, he was not ready at all, in fact, he would never feel ready to meet the emperor of the empire. One wrong move or word and he would end up in prison or probably executed, it was nerve wrecking.

"Don't worry, he doesn't bite." Rize giggled. "My father is all bark and no bite."
