His Rui

Chapter 480 Rui Wants To Help (2)

The room was silent for a few moments as Xi Ying stared at Li Rui with no emotions on his face.   

Under his continuous stare, Li Rui also felt her own courage going down. However, inside her heart, she felt very irked because of the way he looked at her.

’Perhaps this irritation was because of her pregnancy hormones!’

But she had gathered so much courage to say these words.

It was after a long time, Xi Ying asked as if to confirm whether he had heard right or not

”Help me…in what?”

Li Rui’s cheeks went dark red and she raised her head to look at Xi Ying with a small frown. Facing his wife’s glare, Xi Ying only found her cute because the way she went red only indicated that what he heard was really right!

A playful and curiousness filled smile graced his lips as he asked his wife

”How do you want to help me?”

Did she even know what she was saying? Xi Ying wondered inside his heart as he looked at his innocent wife.

However, Li Rui felt offended by her husband’s question. She looked at him with a cold face and said

”I know. I read a book.”

Xi Ying raised his eyebrows.

This Li Rui was very different from before or he should say that he had never seen her before. Perhaps it was true that during their pregnancy, the women change a lot. 

”Oh…”

Xi Ying was suddenly in the mood of teasing Li Rui more and so he sat on the bed in front of her forgetting all his discomfort and asked her seriously

”I don’t know about this. Can you enlighten me more?”

Li Rui frowned and the blush on her cheeks stayed.

He didn’t know about this…but did she have to tell him about all that. That…That would be too embarrassing.

But she really wished to relieve him of his discomfort.

Li Rui knew very well that after she sleeps, Xi Ying would go leave the room at night sometimes once or sometimes more than once. Once she had been curious and hence she had followed him only to find him going towards the bathing area.

And it took her a few days to understand what was going on!

She could understand. He was a young man after all. In fact, Li Rui knew that in some noble families, if the wife was pregnant, then the man used maids or concubines to relieve themselves.

Though it didn’t happen in her family, it happened in many families of the Imperial City. And of course, she was not in favor of this so-called arrangement. 

In fact, she respected Xi Ying for his self-control. And for the same reason, she wanted to help him.

The book that had been given to her by her mother during her marriage was finally read by Li Rui and she learned many new things from this book.

Clearing her throat mildly, she looked at Xi Ying calmly and said

”I know how to do it. You just close your eyes.”

Xi Ying smiled.

He was in fact happy that Li Rui wanted to do this for him and slowly closed his eyes. His fingers trembled when he felt her leaning closer to his face.

He could feel her breath fanning his jaw. He could feel her fingers on his pants and just at that moment, he opened his eyes and held Li Rui’s hand.

There was still a smile on his lips as he pulled Li Rui’s hand away that was holding his pants and put it on his cheek.

”You don’t need to do this.”

As much he enjoyed this side of Li Rui, he didn’t want her to do that.

Planting a kiss on her forehead, he put his forehead on hers and said gently

”You know…you make me the happiest man by waiting for me tonight.”

Li Rui narrowed her eyes sensing the playfulness in Xi Ying’s voice and Xi Ying chuckled seeing this.

With another kiss on her both cheeks, he told her

”I don’t want to do it like this. I want to love you … properly …not like this.”

He tried to make his innocent wife understand.

Li Rui stared at Xi Ying silently. Her clean black eyes flashed with understanding and she nodded her head.

Xi Ying sighed in relief. He knew that it must have taken her a lot of courage to say this but he also knew that Li Rui would not feel comfortable in doing this.

So he didn’t want her to do that. He could endure this torture. It was also sweet in its own way. 

”Go to sleep. I will come back in some time.”

After Xi Ying was sure that Li Rui was sleeping on the bed inside the blanket, he left the room to solve his own problem.

——-

Yu Wei was standing near the window of her room. Her eyes were a little red as she looked out. She could the servants running here and there making preparation for Lu Jianye’s marriage.

A tear slipped out of her eyes and she closed the window with a thump.

As her back rested against the window frame, she closed her eyes that were full of despair.

A sharp sigh escaped her lips as she remembered whatever Lu Jianye’s servant had told her. She can’t believe that even after seeing that shameful seen if that Li Na, Lu Jianye wanted to marry her.   

Has he gone blind?                                                                                               

Could he not see Li Na’s true face?

A girl who could suggest such a thing to her own sister’s husband even if that was a cousin sister, she deserved nothing but disgust.

Even Yu Wei who had decided to behave well with Li Na after becoming Lu Jianye’s concubine no longer had any intention of doing that now. 

She had seen that day.

The evil smile on Li Na’s lips as she was embracing Lu Jianye while staring at her(Yu Wei) tearful face.

The woman was enjoying her despair.

Yu Wei couldn’t believe that she was losing her love to such a woman.

But what could she even do except stay inside her room and cry over the turn of her fate!

”My Lady.”

The door was knocked suddenly and Yu Wei wiped her face on hearing her maidservant’s voice.

”Enter.”

She said in a hoarse voice and soon the maid entered. The maid looked in hurry and seeing that her mistress’s face didn’t look good she told hurriedly.

”My Lady, there is a maid outside. She wishes to see you. The maid is saying that she knows something about Second Lady Li that you will want to know.”
