His Rui

Chapter 500 Xi Ying Leaves For The Imperial Palace

Li Rui tried to keep her expression composed. However, under Xi Ying's deep black eyes and continuous and intense gaze, she couldn't do so.

Her cheeks went red and she lowered down her head to pick the grapes from the bowl and to ignore the man who was looking at her with amusement-filled eyes.

"Will you help me?"

Xi Ying forwarded his winter robe to Li Rui that he was going to wear from above his clothes and asked gently.

Li Rui raised her head as she put a grape inside her mouth and chewed. There was still a small smile on his lips and she could easily see the mirth in his eyes. She frowned again and lowered her head without saying anything.

Xi Ying's face had an incredulous expression. Somehow he seems to have understood that Li Rui didn't like that he was laughing at her. She had never minded before so he couldn't help but feel surprised.

At the same time, seeing his cute's wife lowered head as if the whole world has abandoned her, he only felt very helpless and sighed before he said

"Alright, It is my fault. I should not have laughed at you. Will you forgive me, Rui?"

No reply came from Li Rui's side but she again raised her head to look at Xi Ying. Xi Ying smiled in victory when he saw her getting up from the bed and taking the robes from his hands silently.

Every day, it had been Li Rui for a few months now who had been helping him in wearing this robe. He kind of liked it because it was usually something that a wife does for her husband.

And today he too didn't want to miss it.

After Xi Ying had worn the robe, he turned around and held Li Rui's face again. He chuckled again as he saw her sweet lips forming a pout between his hands. He was doing it intentionally and he could also see the annoyance in Li Rui's eyes, but he still couldn't stop himself from doing it.

After a moment of looking at Li Rui's cute face, Xi Ying leaned down and pecked Li Rui's lips softly.

When he leaned back, there was still a soft smile on his lips. He stopped applying the pressure on her cheeks as he rested his forehead on hers.

It felt so nice. Just like this, looking at Li Rui's face, feeling her presence …all of this made him feel so nice and enough that Xi Ying thought that he couldn't wish for anything else.

They have come a long way. He could feel it. Though Li Rui still didn't love him, she at least felt so comfortable and free in his presence.

"Take care, alright? I will come back soon."

Xi Ying whispered in his deep voice as his forehead still rested on Li Rui's forehead. He was actually a little scared to leave Li Rui alone here.

The banquet was going to last the whole day and night so he would not be able to come to Xi Manor even at night.

It was a long time. He had never left Li Rui alone for more than a few shichens after she has gotten pregnant.

However, not sensing the other's person's fear, Li Rui mercilessly nodded her head as she stepped back and picked the bowl that she had put on the bed.

Xi Ying again looked incredulously as Li Rui put the grapes inside her mouth and ate silently. So much attention to those grapes…did she even know that he was not going to be here for such a long time!

He suddenly felt very jealous of those grapes.

In his envy, he grabbed the bowl of grapes from Li Rui's hand and put it on the table that was behind him. Li Rui frowned as she turned her head to look at him.

"What do you want?'

She looked completely annoyed from the tone of her voice. However, Xi Ying made his heart firm and said

"I said something. Did you even hear?"

"I did."

Li Rui said as she tried to pass Xi Ying and take the grapes again. The grapes were really sweet and she really was craving to eat such a thing. However, Xi Ying blocked her way again.

This time, she looked at Xi Ying but never asked what he wanted this time. The next moment, Xi Ying learned that he should never stop a pregnant woman from eating the food she wanted to eat.

Li Rui didn't fight. She just walked away from there to bed and covered herself with the blanket.

It was after a few moments later, Xi Ying understood that she was expressing her anger. A helpless smile graced his lips when he walked to the bed and tried to uncover her face but Li Rui clutched the blanket tightly from inside.

His pregnant wife was almost like his almost four-year-old son. Xi Ying thought inside his heart.

"You will suffocate yourself if you stay like this."

He said gently as he tried to uncover her again, however, he was destined to get disappointed. Xi Ying sighed and cursed himself and his jealousy inside his heart silently.

Why is his heart so petty and why does he get jealous so easily?

In the end, Xi Ying gave up. He could have used force and uncovered Li Rui in a moment but he didn't wish to do so and make Li Rui more angry.

"Alright, I am leaving. I hope that will calm down your anger. Eat your grapes."

He intentionally made the sound as he put the bowl of grapes on the bedside and his last few words came out in a sullen voice.

After that, Xi Ying climbed down from the bed with a not-so-good face and left the room.

As soon as Li Rui heard the sound of the door closing, she uncovered herself and looked around inside the room. Her eyes lastly sat on the closed door and a small pout graced her lips.

He left just like that.

She sighed and looked towards the bowl of grapes with disappointment. After that, she silently covered herself with the blanket again and tried to sleep…just like she had promised Xi Ying.
