His Rui

Chapter 592 Rui Wan Unable To Hate

　　After the dinner, when she got up to accompany Xi Ling to his room, Xi Ling refused. He didn’t want his mother to get more tired so he said that he could sleep on his own.

Xi Ying nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw this.

So like this, Li Rui and Xi Ying went to their room together. Inside the room, Xi Ying unconsciously helped Li Rui in taking off the thick robe she was wearing. It was only when he realized that he was holding the robe, he seemed to realize what he had just done. 

However, he was relieved that Li Rui didn’t reject his touch or help.

As he saw his wife walking towards the dressing table, Xi Ying opened and closed his mouth many times but then chose to say nothing.

He wanted to ask if she was alright after they did ‘it’ in the afternoon. He wanted to ask her if she was sad and if she was then why was she sad.

She didn’t have to be.

However, in the end, he couldn’t let out a single word from his mouth.

He just sat leaning against the bed as he watched Li Rui removing her accessories. A few moments later when she stood up, he casted his eyes away to his book.

The room has a pin drop silence as Xi Ying felt the side of his bed dip indicating that Li Rui had lied down on the bed.

His heart was suddenly full of conflicts.

Was she really angry with him?

But what he did was not wrong!

With a cold face, he stood up from the bed and blew out the light of the lamp.             

However, as he lied down on the bed, he couldn’t get even a wink of sleep. Restless he continued to change his positions.

Whenever, he closed his eyes, everything that An Ju told him would ring in his ears.

His Rui had to fight with those shadow guards with a sword today. It was not that Xi Ying didn’t feel proud. He was proud and relieved to know that she was able to protect herself and their children.

However, the fact that someone out there was trying to kill her continuously and the person was still alive, it bothered him a lot. 

Anything could have happened.

She was pregnant after all.

Xi Ying suddenly felt very bothered by the gap between them. He didn’t hesitate to cross it this time and closed the distance between two of them.

His arm went around his wife’s waist and he rested his cheek against hers gently. It was only when her sweet scent invaded her nostrils, he felt relaxed.

She was really there with him.

She was alright. Xi Ying’s hand went to her belly. Their child was also safe.

Though nothing happened, he would still not be able to forgive himself for this mistake of his.

”Rui…”

He whispered carefully.

When she hummed, he knew that she was not asleep so he asked her.

”Why are you not asleep yet?”

Li Rui, who had her eye closed opened them suddenly and responded

”I am not able to.” 

They again went silent after this. It was after a long time, Xi Ying asked his wife

”Why?…Are you thinking about what happened in the banquet yesterday?”

  Li Rui also took a few moments to answer ‘yes’.

”Are you angry with me?”

Xi Ying asked almost immediately. If she said ‘yes’ then he would be greatly disappointed. However, fortunately, Li Rui didn’t say ‘yes but she didn’t say ‘no’ as well.

Instead, she turned around to look at Xi Ying with a surprised face and asked

”Why will I be angry with you?”

The question surprised Xi Ying as well. He looked at Li Rui who genuinely looked surprised and soon he understood that she was never angry with him.

A sudden relief filled Xi Ying’s heart.

Rui was really not angry with him! But then…

”What were you thinking then?”

Li Rui’s face went blank at this question. She rested her head on the pillow and her eyes stared at the ceiling. 

Her heart was filed with conflicts.

”Do you know that princess had tried to poison Xiao Ling?”

Rui ‘s soft voice sounded in the room and when she heard Xi Yibg’s agreement she couldn’t help but turn her face to look at him. 

”I know but what are you thinking about it?”

Xi Ying asked as he leaned closed to his wife. His hand held her hand and hiss other hand stroked her hair as if he was encouraging her to continue.

He knew very well that Li Rui was the kind of person who kept everything bottled up inside her heart. But he wanted her to share everything with him.

Her thoughts, everything about her…he would be very interesting to know all of them. 

  Though, it took her a few moments to say it, he was happy when she opened her mouth and started.

”I am just …I am just thinking if she realized now how wrong she had been. Now that she knows that I never pushed her inside the pond …she knows that …I didn’t do anything four years ago to marry you…does she feel any regret?”

Xi Ying’s hand that was stroking his wife’s hair stopped suddenly. He looked into her clean black eyes that were filled with confusion.

How rare she was to expect any kind of regret from the vicious princess!   

Xi Ying was very sure that the princess didn’t feel any regret. Even if she does, she was too proud to apologize to Li Rui. 

Perhaps Li Rui also understood this in a few moments of silence.

She sighed bitterly as she confessed.

”I should not be thinking this, right? I don’t know what is wrong with me. It is just …perhaps it is because of the child.”

Xi Ying didn’t expose her and agreed with her. He stroked her hair and then covered her with the blanket nicely.

After that, he embraced her to sleep.

His hand patted her back as if he was holding a child.

His mind was filled with many thoughts. It was not because of the child…in fact, Li Rui had really thought of the princess as her true friend.

Even now, there was a soft corner inside her heart for the princess.

Xi Ying’s eyes were filled with helplessness. In his eyes, the princess didn’t deserve all this. What she deserved was his wife’s hatred.

However, it seems that his wife was unable to hate someone!
