His Rui

When Xi Ying found that his hand was held by Li Rui, he only thought that she was shy. So he raised his head with a smile on his lips and looked at her face.

However seeing the serious expression on her face that was completely different from the face she had just a few moments ago, he understood that the matter was completely different.

"We can't do it."

Li Rui's soft voice fell in Xi Ying's ears. However, when the words registered in his mind, he felt as if he was punched in his gut.

For a few moments, he was just hovering over Li Rui with an emotionless face.

Li Rui who had wanted to say something paused suddenly when she looked at his face seriously.

Was he angry because she refused him?

She suddenly didn't have any will to explain herself because she didn't like this fact. Li Rui's mind started to overthink again.

However, she suddenly stopped her thoughts.

'No, she should not think anything without knowing Xi Ying's thoughts.'

Last time she had done the same. However, he was still trying to save her. Just when she thought this, she felt a pair of warm hands cupping her cheeks.

"I was behaving too rashly, right?"

She stared into Xi Ying's eyes that were filled with guilt now. His fingers stroked her cheek gently as he whispered earnestly.

"Forgive me, Rui. Things had just gotten better between us. I should not have behaved like that. Indirectly, I was forcing myself on you."

Xi Ying's heart was filled with guilt.

Li Rui was completely started by Xi Ying's words but at the same time, the heart that had been sinking inside her chest a few moments ago suddenly became very light.

"We will not do anything until you don't feel ready."

Xi Ying whispered softly and smiled gently. He was about to take back his hands and lie beside his wife when the confused Li Rui suddenly held his hand.

"I didn't stop you because I am not ready."

She blurted out suddenly and instantly regretted the choice of words.

On the other hand, Xi Ying looked completely shocked by what Li Rui said. He saw her closing her eyes for a moment and smiled at her actions. He knew that she must be feeling very embarrassed.

Leaning closely again, he caressed her cheeks and whispered huskily

"Then, why did you stop me?"

He chuckled deeply when he felt Li Rui's body trembling at his husky voice. She was completely aroused. He knew when he had heard her moans.

Although he will not force her he never said that he will not seduce her also.

A mischievous thought entered Xi Ying's mind suddenly. He suddenly leaned back and then removed his robe.

Li Rui who had just opened her eyes was shocked when she saw a naked abdomen in front of her eyes. Her eyes slowly moved above as she gulped nervously at the sight in front of her eyes.

"W…what are you doing?"

Li Rui could not help but remember when was the last time she had stuttered like this. However, she couldn't remember any.

This…when did she start to lose her senses just because of seeing a beautiful chest of a man. She again blamed everything on her hormones and had wanted to move her eyes away.

However, the sight in front of her was too tempting to look away.

Xi Ying could feel Li Rui's eyes on his body. He suddenly felt so proud of having such a good body. Seeing the dazed expressions on Li Rui's face, he wanted to kiss her senselessly. However, he didn't want to force her also.

So he leaned down and started to caress her cheek again. This light touch and the sweet scent from his wife was the only thing that could calm him for now.

"Hmm…so what made you stop me?"

He asked her gently as well as curiously.

Li Rui was happy that Xi Ying asked something. She finally could stop paying attention anywhere else and think of something else.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at Xi Ying with her usually calm face and told him.

"I am with a child so we can't do it. It is not good for the child."

A deep frown marred Xi Ying's forehead and Li Rui confirmed inside her heart that he didn't know anything about it.

A moment later, Xi Ying nodded his head seriously and kissed Li Rui's lips lightly making her surprised at his sudden action

"It's good that you stopped me."

After that, Xi Ying finally came down to lie beside Li Rui. Holding her waist with one hand, he hugged her in his arms and said firmly.

"Sleep. I don't want you to leave this bed until you have a good rest."

Li Rui didn't know why but she smiled lightly on hearing Xi Ying's words.

It was a good feeling. When you know that you have a person to rely on, that no matter what happens that person will back you up and will manage everything.

Xi Ying was also starting to give her such a feeling now.

It made her feel light and less guarded. It made her feel that perhaps continuing to live such a life was not that bad also.

Slender fingers stroked her hair gently and her eyes started to close on their own accord slowly.

A few moments later, Xi Ying felt Li Rui's warm breathing on his chest and he sighed in relief. He gently shifted her slightly and then climbed down from the bed.

After wearing his robe, he looked back at Rui for the last time. He leaned down and kissed her forehead softly. Then without making any noise, he left the room.

He still had many other things that needed his attention.

However, Xi Ying had just turned around after closing the door when he collided with a small figure that was stubbornly standing in front of the room.

Slowly his eyes moved down and his face went black when he saw who actually the small figure was.
