Yi Junjie couldn't stay any longer in Xi Manor after Xi Ying agreed to include him. He didn't have any reason.
Although he wanted to spend some more time with Li Rui, he knew that now it was not a right thing.
"Then this Lord will leave now and not disturb Lord Xi's rest."
He said to Xi Ying politely.
Xi Ying had a polite smile on his lips, however, inside his heart he thought that what more could Yi Junjie disturb.
He had successfully disturbed his sweet time with his wife.
Then again, no matter how much annoyed he was, Xi Ying had to hide it and say to Yi Junjie.
"No trouble."
And hence like this, both the men behaved very politely with each other even though inside their hearts, both of them knew very well that other person didn't like the first too much.
Both of them were thinking that they were very good at pretending.
Li Rui observed both the men with her clean black eyes. Her face was very calm and no one could guess what she was thinking.
Li Rui accompanied Yi Junjie with Xi Ying to exit of Xi Manor.
Yi Junjie had just stepped out of Xi Manor when he suddenly turned around and looked at Li Rui with gentle eyes.
"Take care."
Li Rui smiled softly and nodded her head.
"Elder Brother should also take care."
A very small smile graced Yi Junjie's lips as he nodded his head just like her.
With one last glance at the woman he loved dearly, he climbed on his horse and then left the Xi Manor.
After sending Yi Junjie off, Li Rui turned around to go to Plum Courtyard.
Xiao Ling must be waiting for her. She thought inside her heart. The child didn't sleep these days until he sees her sleeping beside him.
On the other hand, Xi Ying who was still standing at the door of Xi Manor looked at his wife's leaving figure with a bitter heart.
She doesn't even seem to realize that he was not waling with her.
Was he so forgettable?
With a helpless sight, Xi Ying accepted his fate and then in long strides walked towards Li Rui. Soon he was beside her…holding her hand as they walked towards the Plum Courtyard together.
Li Rui's embarrassment didn't escape from his eyes when she realized what she had just done. However, he behaved as if nothing happened.
Perhaps a day will come when he would not need to remind her that they were to stay side by side.
He thought inside his heart silently and wished for that day to come soon.
------
When Li Rui reached inside her room with her husband, she saw her three-year-old son, sitting on the bed with sleepy eyes.
His body swayed here and there every few moments but when he realized that he was closing his eyes, he would open them abruptly and then sit straight again. However, a few moments later, his eye would start to close again.
And the whole procedure will repeat again.
Li Rui's pressed her lips together to laugh out loud.
The little bun looked too cute and funny at this moment.
However, to Xi Ying, his son looked nothing but stupid at this moment. A deep frown marred his forehead as he whispered to his wife.
"How did I born such a stupid child? If he is sleepy then he should just lie down on the bed and sleep. Why is he doing all these stupid things?"
Xi Ying had just finished his words when he saw Li Rui turning to look at him with narrowed eyes. Her eyes were filled with unhappiness as she told him quite firmly
"My son is not stupid."
Xi Ying didn't want to agree but he seemed to have guessed that if he didn't agree at this moment then he would regret it later. He seemed to have read in a book just a day before that the anger of a pregnant woman sometimes can be very dangerous.
So he nodded his head immediately and said
"Yes, It was me who said wrong."
Li Rui was satisfied and walked towards her son with a smile while Xi Ying sighed in relief behind her.
Xi Ling slept immediately and soundly after he saw his mother.
Xi Ying was sitting on the other side of the bed. As he leaned against the headboard, he stared at his wife who was lovingly caressing Xi Ling's hair.
She seemed to be thinking something.
Feeling his stare on herself, Li Rui raised her head. Seeing those intense black eyes, she wondered what exactly goes inside the man's mind when he silently stared at her like this many times.
Or perhaps she already knew.
Remembering whatever had happened under the shed, Li Rui looked away from Xi Ying's intense eyes.
"What are you thinking?"
She heard him asking and went silent for a moment before she whispered in a low voice.
"You and Elder Brother…did something happen between you two?"
Xi Ying stilled for a moment before he composed himself soon and said
"Why are you asking this?"
Li Rui observed Xi Ying closely as she whispered her next words.
"Both of you don't seem to like each other much."
Xi Ying sighed helplessly. How could he even think that something would escape Li Rui's eyes!
It surprised him that she could notice this but she doesn't have any inkling of her Yi Junjie's feelings for her.
Then again after so many months when he told her today that he loves her, was not she shocked and surprised.
It made him believe that Rui's observant eyes also have some limitations.
Even now he knew that he couldn't lie to her.
If he did, she would accept them silently for now but he had learned that she always keep it inside her heart that he lied to her.
And he, too, didn't want to lie to her.
But would she be able to accept the part of him that wanted to keep her just for himself?
"You are right. I don't like him."
Li Rui frowned in confusion hoping that he will continue and he did.
"Perhaps because you care for him."
It was now Li Rui's turn to go still. Her lips parted to say something but she didn't know what she should say.
But Xi Ying whispered again
"I don't like that you care for anyone else except me."
"I just want you to keep for myself."
And she could only hear him saying all this silently while looking into those intense black eyes.
