When Xi Ying had realized that he loved Li Rui after four years, he also knew that if he hoped the same kind of emotion from Li Rui's side that too so soon, then he would be expecting too much.
After all, the mistakes he had done were too many.
So how could he expect Li Rui to love him even a little after she suffered so much in Xi Manor.
In fact, he was grateful that she didn't leave even after so much happened…even after in her eyes, it was he who kept their son away from her for four years.
So he made his heart understand. He tried to have less expectations.
He tried to find happiness in what he was getting.
Having Li Rui beside him regardless of whether this love was only one sided, it was still very precious.
That was what he had thought.
Only now at this moment, when Xi Ying saw Li Rui in Yi Junjie's arms, he got to know that it was perhaps not enough.
He got to know that he could perhaps bear if Li Rui didn't love him. He would make himself understand that it was because of his mistakes.
But if one day, he saw her in another man's arms of if one day she told him that she loved some other man then he would not be able to bear it.
He would perhaps kill that man…something that he wanted to do right now.
He wanted to kill Yi Junjie.
The scene in front of his eyes made him feel very insecure...something that he didn't like at all.
His fist clenched and his eyes went red with rage.
With long strides, he walked towards the duo.
His wife's back was towards him but Yi Junjie was looking at him. The calm eyes of the man provoked Xi Ying more as he thought that Yi Junjie was doing this intentionally.
Xi Ying's hand went forward to grab Li Rui's arm as soon as she was in his reach and he pulled her away from Yi Junjie so swiftly that a gasp escaped from Li Rui's lips in surprise.
With his one hand around Li Rui's waist, Xi Ying hugged Li Rui to his chest so that her face was completely hidden in his embrace. His hands gathered around her small frame as if he wanted to hide her from everyone's eyes.
The room was deathly silent as the two men silently stared at each other.
"What is Lord Yi doing here?"
Xi Ying asked coldly.
Yi Junjie however didn't answer Yi Junjie's question. His eyes were casted down.
Xi Ying's eyes went sharper. He was about to say something else… obviously asking Yi Junjie to get out of Xi Manor when he heard a neither too small nor too loud cry.
"Mother…"
Xi Ying's eyes immediately went to look towards the other side of the table. Only then did he notice that his three year old son, Xi Ling was in the same room.
He saw as he ran towards them and then beside his mother.
His mouth was slightly parted and his eyes were filled with worry and concern as he looked down making Xi Ying confused a little.
Just when he put side his fluctuated emotions and his mind had started to work, he heard Xi Ling's voice again and this time his son was looking at him with his big black clean eyes.
"Father…Mother was about to fall down just now. It was Uncle Yi just now who saved her."
Finishing his words, Xi Ling held the hem of his mother's dress and asked in an urgent tone.
"Is Mother alright? How is Xi Ling's sibling? Should Xi Ling call for that old man?"
Realization dawned on to Xi Ying. It took him a moment to realize that Li Rui was indeed clutching his robe tightly as if she was afraid of something.
But what?"
Forgetting everything, he first leaned back a little to look at his wife's face. His eyes were filled with worry and concern as he asked Li Rui
"Rui, are you alright?"
Li Rui looked a little confused but nonetheless nodded her head. Her hand was still on Xi Ying's shoulder and she whispered softly.
"I am alright…but my foot…"
Xi Ying's expression changed greatly and he immediately picked Li Rui from the ground.
Yi Junjie who was silently watching all this suddenly looked away from this scene.
"Liu Lan"
Xi Ying shouted and by the time, he was in front of Li Rui's room, Liu Lan was following him with a worried face.
"Call the old physician."
Xi Ying said to Liu Lan who wanted to ask what happened but then after some thought, she immediately ran out to do as Xi Ying had asked her.
"No need to call the physician."
Li Rui said to Xi Ying as she put her hand on Xi Ying's shoulder.
Seeing his cold face, she remembered how he had pulled her towards himself inside the room. She didn't even know why but she explained to him
"I don't know how I fell but Elder Brother saved me. I was about to move away when you came there. You do…"
Xi Ying laid Li Rui on the bed and suddenly pressed his finger on Li Rui's soft lips. His heart was filled with guilt as he looked into his wife's clean black eyes.
He again had been too aggressive. Xi Ying knew this. He didn't even try to assess the situation and let his eyes blinded with envy and his insecurity.
He was still moved as well as hurt by how Li Rui was trying to explain herself.
Caressing Li Rui's cheek softly, he whispered gently
"I know. You don't need to explain yourself. I …I believe you."
Yes, he should believe her. In Xi Ying's eyes if Li Rui couldn't be a loyal and honest woman then perhaps no woman in this world was honest or loyal.
Li Rui nodded her head after hearing these words. It was fine as long as Xi Ying didn't have any misunderstanding.
However, Xi Ying's next question caught Li Rui's attention again.
"Rui, have you ever loved any man in your life?"
