His Rui

Chapter 577 If Something Happened To Rui, Lord Xi Will Destroy Everything

Xi Ying let himself be pulled by his wife who had a comparatively smaller frame than him. His deep black eyes looked at Li Rui’s hand that was on his arm. They were very intense as he looked at his back.

No one could guess what actually was going on inside his mind.

General Li who was glancing every now and then outside the room’s window was relieved when he saw this scene. The next moment, a smile graced his lips when he saw a dazed Xi Ying following his daughter silently.

Indeed, love could change everyone. 

After that, he hurriedly closed the window fearing that the cold wind would make the room cold and his wife who was still asleep would feel uncomfortable.

As he turned around to look at unconscious Yi Jie, General Li walked to sit beside her. Her face was still very pale but it looked better than last night.

Stroking her hair gently, he promised himself that he would find out who was the reason behind this state of hers.

On the other hand, the servants lowered their heads silently when they saw Xi Ying and Li Rui entering the Plum Courtyard.

Though they were not looking at her, Li Rui’s ears were slightly red and Xi Ying obviously noticed it.

As soon as both of them stepped inside their room, the position changed suddenly, Now it was Xi Ying who was holding Li Rui’s arm.

The door was closed abruptly and Li Rui was dragged gently to stand against it.

Li Rui’s clean black eyes were filled with surprise.

”Ying…”

She wanted to say something when she inhaled sharply on looking into his intense deep black eyes. They were so intense that she forgot whatever she had wanted to say.

Both of his hands were on the door around her head caging her against his body and the door. Though he didn’t touch her, she could feel his warm breaths falling on her face and this small thing made her face go red.

”Tell me…”

His voice was hoarse, husky and deep as he said these two words. Li Rui had to clench her fists to stop herself from trembling.

It was not that she was afraid. It was something …completely something else. There was something different about the air inside the room.

As she tried to avoid meeting his intense eyes, Li Rui heard him questioning her in the same voice.

”Tell me…did you say those words just to stop me?”

Li Rui’s heart skipped a beat and she lowered her head silently. However, Xi Ying suddenly pinched her chin gently and made her look in his eyes.

Looking into her clean and calm eyes, he already knew the answer.

She indeed said these words to stop him from going to the Imperial Palace. However, he still couldn’t help but feel his heart roaring inside his chest when he remembered those words.

He leaned towards her and whispered in his deep husky voice.

”Can you say that again, Rui?”

I also need you here, Xing …with me.

Xi Ying had never imagined that one day his Rui would say these words to him. Not even in his dreams. So how could he not feel what he was feeling now on hearing such an unexpected thing …even though it was fake!

As if he was encouraging her, he caressed her chin gently and said almost in a command.

”Say it.”

Li Rui swallowed.

Her eyes were looking everywhere but at him.                                    

”Rui…”

Li Rui almost melted in his arms when she heard him calling her so seductively. It made her legs go weak. As if to save herself from the further torture, she finally whispered

”I need you here, Ying…”

Even before she could complete her words, Xi Ying’s lips sealed hers and a deep and heavy kiss was initiated.  

”Nnghh…”

An embarrassing moan unconsciously escaped her lips when Xi Ying’s tongue invaded her mouth to explore the inside.

His one hand was wrapped around her waist carefully as he stepped backward slowly and slowly …never breaking the kiss in between his steps.

And then a few moments later, Li Rui was lying on the bed under Xi Ying.

The kiss still continued …more deep and passionate than before… so much so that Rui Had never imagined that a kiss could turn out like this. 

She could feel nothing but his lips on hers, his touch against her skin, and his warm breaths on her cheeks.

It burnt her insides.

He left her lips reluctantly when he felt she was out of breath and she could almost feel his reluctance as he showered kisses on her neck.

A moment later, Xi Ying was silently looking at Li Rui’s red face as she still breathed heavily. His eyes were hooded and still had those intense emotions that Li Rui was still unable to recognize.

Li Rui really wished to cover his eyes so that he would not look at her like that. It gave her some weird feeling inside her stomach.

She would have thought that it was because of the pregnancy but somewhere she knew it was not.

As she tried to calm herself, she heard his deep voice again.

”Rui…if something were to happen to you, I will destroy the whole Empire. I will destroy everything.”

Li Rui’s body went still. This time, she didn’t avoid his eyes. She looked into them but the only thing, at this moment, in her mind was her dream from last night.

In the dream, Xi Ying was kneeling amidst a large ground that was full of dead bodies. His hand held a sword that was covered with blood everywhere. Even his face was covered with blood and his lips had cold smile as he looked at those cold dead bodies in the large ground. 

A tear unconsciously slid down from one of her eyes. 

He was alone inside that world, after killing everyone with his own hands.

His aura screamed nothing but ruthlessness, coldness and

….Loneliness.
