"Li Manor?"

Still sitting on Xi Ying's lap, Li Rui frowned at his words and whispered in confusion.

Xii Ying nodded his head as he looked at her.? He reluctantly but respectfully stopped roaming his hands on her waist and just held her firmly enough to not let her fall back.

"Yes, Li Manor."

He said calmly and saw Li Rui frowning more deeply as she looked at him.

"I don't want to go there." Said Li Rui as she observed Xi Ying's expression.

She knew that if she went to Li Manor at this moment, then she would just lengthen this unreasonable argument that could also take a very nasty form.

Somewhere inside her heart, she was already worried that her aunt would go to her first uncle and tell him everything.

Will it affect her Father?

Li Rui wondered silently inside her heart and suddenly thought that she should have been more careful before.

There was no need for this entire pretense. She could have refused them directly by telling that she was still the despised wife of Xi Manor and hence there was no way Lord Xi would listen to her.

"You don't wish to go to Li Manor?"

Xi Ying asked and the question made Li Rui put a full stop to her thoughts and she looked at Xi Ying again.

"No, I don't wish to go Li Manor."

She said and stood up from Xi Ying's lap very easily.

Xi Ying sighed bitterly as he knew that he didn't have any right to stop her for that moment. However, a smile was still present on his lips as he said

"That's alright. I will go alone then."

And sure enough, Li Rui turned around abruptly as soon as his words finished and glared at him with her cold black eyes.

"Why do you want to go there?"

Li Rui who had already lost her composure long ago asked coldly

Xi Ying smiled too sweetly. The shadow guards who were inside Plum Courtyard saw the smile on their master's face didn't know whether they should feel afraid or they should be happy seeing such a master.

"I suddenly miss my sweet Father-in-law so I want to go and see him."

The words only made Li Rui's face colder.

She looked away from Xi Ying but he could see her clenched fists in anger.

Xi Ying suddenly found this Li Rui very cute.

Her small nose was trembling with every breath she was taking. Her black eyes were filled with annoyance. All of this only made him bully her more.

His heart seemed to be tickled by a bundle of feathers and he could not help but feel a strong urge to hug Li Rui tightly in his arms.

However, before he could act on his urges, Li Rui looked at him and let out her words while gritting her teeth.

"I will also go with you."

With that, she left the front hall.

Xi Ying suddenly laughed loudly making Li Hua look at him with a weird expression on her face but Xi Ying didn't care at all.

The strange expression didn't leave Li Hua's face until she exited the front hall to follow her mistress.

Hiding in the shadows, the two shadow guards had a smile on their faces as they heard their master's joyful and peaceful laughter.

"Rui…"

Xi Ying sighed breathily when he finally stopped laughing.

As long as Li Rui was by his side, his heart was at peace. Xi Ying had always thought so and this was true.

His heart was really at peace.

The carriage departed for Li Manor.

The whole ride was silent.

Inside her mind, Li Rui was silently contemplating Xi Ying's next move and what she would do to destroy its effect while Xi Ying's lips had a peaceful smile as he looked at his wife's face.

He could only see a very small part of her face as Li Rui was looking out of the window but he knew that at this moment, Li Rui's mind was full of thoughts.

Her heart was full of wariness.

As much as he was pained by Li Rui's distrust, Xi Ying knew that no one was to be blamed except him for that.

Still, all this only earned him a chance to understand how his wife's mind worked.

She was very afraid to trust anyone.

It didn't matter how many reasons you will give Li Rui to make her trust you. Just one reason was enough to make her shatter that trust.

She didn't believe anyone except those who had been with her since her childhood during all her pains and happiness.

It was not that she didn't want to trust anyone but the circumstances of her life …her clan had made her like this. He could not blame her for anything when he was actually the starting point of all of those problems.

He also knew that whatever he was going to do next might push away Li Rui more from him but he can't stop now.

Those who had gone against Li Rui…he will make them suffer to their death otherwise Xi Ying didn't know whether he will be able to bear his anger if they attacked his wife or him again.

The carriage stopped after half a shichen and the coachmen announced that they have arrived at Li Manor.

Xi Ying first got out of the carriage. When he went to another side to help Li Rui out, he sighed on seeing that Li Rui was already out of the carriage.

It was Li Hua who was helping her in setting her dress straight.

'He suddenly seems to have no place in front of this maid.' He sighed as he thought.

He forwarded his hand to Li Rui who silently placed her own hand in his.

Together, they went inside Li Manor.

They were a couple but so far away from each other.

One was ready to give everything and the other was afraid to take anything.

One wanted to protect the other but the other does not wish to be protected.

What she wanted was unconditional support.?
