Although he looked very calm, Yi Junjie, no doubt was shocked to hear Li Rui.
He glanced at Xi Ying and then back at Li Rui as he said
"Where were you, Rui? I never saw you anywhere."
Li Rui went silent at this question.
"I went there in the men's clothing. Xi Ling was also there."
A moment later, she said finally.
Yi Junjie frowned for a moment. He had actually seen three people entering inside the private room.
Xi Ying...he could recognize him when he saw his cold eyes. Then there was really a child...but his face was completely black.
And the third person was a young man. He had seen the young man's back only that looked a little feminine.
However, at that time, he had just thought that it was some woman shadow guard of Xi Ying.
Shock flashed through Yi Junjie's eyes as he turned to look at Li Rui again.
"You were that young man..."
He asked Li Rui in an exasperated tone.
There was a trace of anger in Yi Junjie's voice. However, it was not because she was that Young Man.
"You went out Rui...just like that? Do you even know what could have happened?"
He questioned her again in an angry tone.
He was not unaware of Princess Wenling's hatred towards Li Rui. Anything could have happened if the Princess would have come to know that she had stepped out of Xi Manor.
If not for herself …she could have at least thought about Xi Ling and not do this.
His eyes still couldn't stop from roaming around on her face or body to see any signs of any new injury. It was a little difficult to believe that Li Rui went out and nothing happened.
However, in his worry, Yi Junjie forgot the Xi Ying who was standing beside Li Rui. The young Prime Minister had cold eyes as he saw Yi Junjie looking at his wife in a way he should not and he even reprimanded her.
Xi Ying had decided to stay composed and not show his irritation towards Yi Junjie's presence before he had stepped inside the study room.
However, at this moment, it was becoming very difficult for him to stand by his promise.
He stepped forward and indecisively covered Li Rui's body completely with his body frame.
"Lord Yi doesn't need to worry about this Lord's wife."
Xi Ying said coldly while interrupting Yi Junjie's staring at Li Rui. Yi Junjie's face went emotionless immediately.
Both of them looked into each other's eyes coldly while Xi Ying continued
"This Lord can take care of his wife very well. She doesn't need to fear anyone. She can go out whenever she wants. This Lord won't let any harm come to her."
The last Xi Ying said in a little less cold tone.
He seemed to remember the time when he didn't have his body and Li Rui was attacked. Li Mei had died at that time but he knew that Yi Junjie had also taken out an Unconscious Li Rui from the forest.
Xi Ying was very grateful towards him for doing that at that time and he still is.
He couldn't have done anything even if he wanted so Yi Junjie's selfless care for Li Rui helped his wife.
Otherwise, he didn't know what would have happened. Keeping only that thing in his mind, he was letting Yi Junjie stand inside Xi Manor.
Combined with that, Li Rui also cared for him.
Otherwise, if it would have anyone else, he would have dug out their eyes for looking at Li Rui in a way that only he could do.
"Can you?"
Yi Junjie said very sharply suddenly. Needless to say, he was doubting Xi Ying's ability to protect Li Rui.
Standing behind both these men, Li Rui felt uncomfortable and confused hearing the men's provoking remarks for each other.
She was not stupid not to notice that both of them don't seem to like each other.
In the end, she stepped out from Xi Ying's behind and came forward to look at both the men who were now staring at each other.
A soft sigh escaped her lips as she said to Xi Ying first.
"Ying, Don't mind Elder Brother. He is just worried about me."
After that, she looked at Yi Junjie and said to him
"Elder Brother, we were completely safe. Even you couldn't recognize Rui so how could anyone else could?"
The sentence that 'Even you couldn't recognize Rui' hit Yi Junjie like nothing in this world could do.
His eyes found Li Rui's and he almost insisted.
"I would have ...if you were a little closer. I just knew that young man was a woman so I would have been able to recognize you if you had turned around just once, Rui."
How could he not recognize her!
His eyes could find her amidst million people regardless of how she was dressed.
Xi Ying's eyes flashed with rage again when he saw Yi Junjie doing all that again. He breathed deeply and said
"This Lord thinks that Lord Yi had already got for what Lord Yi had come to Xi Manor. An explanation is what Lord Yi wanted and an explanation is what Rui gave just now. She was there and this Lord thinks that Lord Yi can trust this Lord's wife's decisions."
And just like this, Xi Ying indirectly asked Yi Junjie to leave Xi Manor.
So much anger…
Li Rui looked at Xi Ying calmly, however, inside her heart she was very confused as to why both the men seemed to dislike each other so much.
At this moment, she too wished that Yi Junjie would leave silently so that this argument won't be stretched more.
However, Yi Junjie was as stubborn as Xi Ying.
If he was here then he won't leave until he will find everything.
"Rui, what is going on?"
Ignoring what Xi Ying said, Yi Junjie asked Li Rui.
Now Li Rui was very conflicted. After a moment of contemplation, she told Yi Junjie the truth.
"Elder Brother, we want to end all this…we want to end the threats for Li and Yi Clan."
End the threats…
Yi Junjie's eyes flickered as he tried to understand the hidden meaning behind the words. A moment later, he asked what he had guessed inside his mind but couldn't believe it.
"You want to go against the Emperor?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Although he looked very calm, Yi Junjie, no doubt was shocked to hear Li Rui.
