"Where is wangfei?"

Xi Ying asked as soon as he stepped inside the Plum Courtyard.

"In the backyard, My Lord."

The maid answered and Xi Ying walked towards the backyard. On his way, he couldn't help but frown when he realized what she must be doing there.

However, as soon as he stepped inside the backyard his frown disappeared. 

There inside the garden, Li Rui was kneeling in front of a plant while caressing its leaves. Her long eyelashes blinked every time touching her cheek making his heart flutter.

He could see the peacefulness on her face.

Xi Ying knew she enjoyed doing all this but he doesn't want her to do any work. She was his wangfei so she was meant to enjoy every joy of life without doing any hard work.

However, now seeing the peacefulness on her face, Xi Ying thought that it would be better if he left Rui to do what she wants.

If he forced anything on her, he would only steal the peace these plants brought her which he doesn't want.

He stepped inside silently and walked to stand behind her.

Entranced he didn't even get to know when he kneeled down and kissed her cheek.

Li Rui was startled by the sudden touch but she composed herself when she smelt the familiar scent and stood up.

"Lo…"

She stopped when he raised his eyebrow. When she saw him leaning forward, she put his hands on his chest to stop him and said

"When did you come back?"

Xi Ying chuckled and answered while pecking her lips.

"Just now."

As if kissing her was not enough, he held her arms that were stopping him and put them down. After that, he hugged her in his arms.

Burying his nose in her hair, Xi Ying sighed peacefully.

"I missed you. Did you miss me?"

He even leaned back a little to look in her eyes as he asked this.

Li Rui was looking at him with a confused expression on her face.

"Didn't you just see me in the morning?"

How could anyone miss someone in such a short period of time?

Xi Ying sighed again in defeat and hugged her in his arms and this time tightly. Her answer indirectly meant that she didn't miss him at all.

Although he had expected this kind of answer, he was still a little disappointed.

"I did see you in the morning but I want to see you every moment. I want to hold you like this in my arms and never wish to leave you."

'If I could, I would have tied you by my side and then take you everywhere with me.'

The last sentence he only whispered inside his heart.

Li Rui who heard his words suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.

A corner of her heart was confused and lost as the words rang in her ears again and again.

'I want to hold you in my arms. I never wish to leave you.'

Has she heard these words before?

She suddenly felt her head aching a little.

"Rui…"

She came out of her trance when she felt someone shaking her shoulders.

"Huh?"

Eyes filled with concern fell in her sight, and she was confused again.

"Rui, are you alright?"

As he said this, Xi Ying has already picked her up in his arms with a panicked expression on his face.

Stepping out of the backyard, he shouted

"An San, bring a Physician to Plum Courtyard this instant."

Li Hua who was following him flinched hearing his loud voice but the next moment she was worried.

"Young Miss…"

She ran but she couldn't match Xi Ying's speed.

Before she could even reach Xi Ying, he had stepped inside Li Rui's room and laid her on the bed.

Li Rui was now able to understand everything.

"I'm fine."

She said and tried to get up but Xi Ying forced her to lie down and said seriously

"Lie down, Rui. Regarding this matter, I will not listen to you."

He was so worried when he saw her face a few minutes ago. She seemed to be in pain that moment as she held her head tightly.

Li Rui was really surprised to see him so panicked and concerned. For a moment, she seriously observed him and couldn't find out whether he was pretending or not.

In the end, she silently obeyed him.

An San brought physician soon and the physician checked Li Rui immediately under Xi Ying's cold eyes.

Xi Ling who heard his father shouting ran to his mother's room. His eyes were teary when he saw the physician checking his mother.

He ran to his father and shook his sleeve.

"Father…Mother... what happened to mother?"

Seeing her son's tears, Li Rui said softly

"Xiao Ling, Mother is alright."

Xi Ying was not in the mood of doing anything but he knew that he needs to console Xi Ling. So he said a few sentences to comfort him and then asked Liu Lan to take him away.

Just after Xi Ling left, the Physician also finished taking Li Rui's pulse and said

"My Lord, Wangfei is absolutely fine."

Xi Ying frowned.

"But she was in pain a few moments ago."

The physician seemed confused as he couldn't find out anything abnormal.

"It was a momentary headache."

Breaking the silence in the room, Li Rui said calmly.

At her words, Xi Ying looked at the physician with suspicion.

"See, she said she was in pain. Do you even know how to treat someone?"

The physician shivered under his cold gaze and Li Rui sighed.

"My Lord, it sometimes happens because of lack of sleep. I will prescribe some medicinal herbs."

"Go ahead."

As the physician went out with Li Hua to tell her about the medicine, Xi Ying sat on the bed.

There was still a frown on his forehead.

'Lack of sleep. It must be because of him.'

This time, Xi Ying was disappointed with himself.

Why is it that he always makes her suffer unintentionally?
