One hour later, Shui Cao had made arrangements so that Xi Ying and Li Rui could go to the Li Manor.

After his shadow guards left, Xi Ying went back to the plum courtyard. The maids told him that Li Rui was with Li Hua.

He patiently waited outside the room. As he waited for her, Xi Ying remembered that An Shing had told him that a few men were already killed when he went back to save Li Rui.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Perhaps Li Rui was a bit startled to see him outside as she looked at him with a surprised face.

Xi Ying frowned because before she lowered her head. His eyes caught her red and swollen eyes. He glanced towards the door and asked

"Is your maid alright?"

"Yes, Minister Xi." said Li Rui

'Then why did you cry?'

He wanted to ask but didn't know whether she would answer him or not.

"An Shing told me there were dead shadow guards outside the shop when he went back to get you."

Xi Ying looked at Li Rui's lowered head as he told her. When she heard him, she raised her head and looked him in the eye.

"This Wangfei doesn't know anything about this."

Although he had expected that she would say something like this, still he couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.

'When will you trust me enough to not hide anything from me?'

"Should we leave now?"

He asked maintaining a gentle smile and Li Rui stared at him in confusion.

"We?"

At her question, Xi Ying felt a little guilty and awkward but said composedly. He had never visited Li Manor before.

"You're my Wangfei. It is natural that I will accompany you to your maternal home."

Li Rui looked at him for a few more moments and then just nodded her head.

Xi Ying sighed. He had so many reasons to not let her go alone.

First, he doesn't want to leave her, and second was today's attack.? While the third and most important reason was the threat that General Li gave to him on the borders.

He doesn't believe General Li so he can only accompany Li Rui and not give General Li any chance to fill Li Rui's mind against him.

When both of them were inside the living room, Li Rui saw Xi Ling. Standing by the maid's side; he was now dressed in new clothes.

Seeing his mother, Xi Ling ran forward and said shyly.

"Mother, Father told Xiao Ling that Mother is visiting her Father and Mother. Can Xi Ling also go with Mother?"

Xi Ying looked at his son with narrowed eyes but he suddenly remembered the Li family's words when they had asked Li Rui about Xi Ling.

So before Li Rui could say anything; he hummed in acknowledgment.

"Yes, you can go with Father and Mother."

Li Rui was surprised again. She had thought that he would not allow Xi Ling to go to Li Manor. Especially after today's attack.

The carriage was ready. It was Xi Ling who first sat inside it with a face full of smiles.

It was the first time he was going somewhere with his Father and Mother.

When Li Rui was about to go inside she suddenly found a stretched hand in front of herself.

Xi Ying's heart was filled with nervousness as he waited for her to put her hand in his hand. Few seconds passed when he didn't see her raising her hand.

He felt a little sad and was about to retract his hand back but his heart almost jumped out of his chest when he felt the soft hand in his hand.

A smile almost broke out on his lips and he didn't try to hide it when Li Rui looked at him.

An Shing looked at his master as if he was he was looking at a ghost. This childlike smile, he had never seen on his master's face before.

His Master really likes Lady Li. An Shing confirmed inside his heart.

This bright smile seemed to dazzle his eyes so he lowered his head and pretended as if he didn't see anything.

Very carefully, Xi Ying helped Li Rui to sit inside the carriage.

During the whole ride, the smile didn't leave his lips.

"Mother, what is that?"

Xi Ling's series of questions started again when he saw new things.

Li Rui answered his question while feeding him something as he didn't eat anything for a few hours.

"You should also have something."

Xi Ying also remembered that she might have not had anything because of the chaos made by the attack.

The carriage was big and there was a small table placed inside it on which a few fruits were placed. He cut a few by himself and forwarded the plate in front of her.

Li Rui picked a few and ate them and then she gave them to Xi Ling.

As he talked, Xi Ling chewed the fruits inside his mouth.

Sitting in front of the mother and son, Xi Ying suddenly couldn't bear to see this harmonious picture.

He looked at his son with envy as Li Rui fed him and caressed his head.

After a few moments, he smiled helplessly on realizing that he was being jealous of his son.

How strange it was. Xi Ying couldn't help but think.

In just one day, she could make him feel so many emotions. She could make him feel insecurity, despair, and happiness. She could bring out the best of him and also shatter him with just a small action of hers.

Was he blessed to have such a person in his life who could affect him so much? Who could make him feel powerful and helpless at the same time?

Xi Ying didn't know this.

What he knew was he would want Li Rui in his every lifetime. It doesn't matter if she loved him or not.

He just wanted to love her selflessly and unconditionally.
