A hot tongue invaded her mouth and she despised that she still moaned…even after knowing that this was just his another way of controlling her body.
But she could do nothing for she herself was responsible for whatever was happening to her.
She gave him this right and if she would try to take it back so suddenly she would only increase his suspicions towards herself.
The deep kiss lasted for a few more minutes until she was left breathless.
She took large gulps of air as she panted and opened her eyes only to see that her forehead touched his. His intense eyes were focused on hers making her believe for a mont that he could see everything that was going on inside her brain.
With his hand that was around her waist, he pushed her closer to his body and she stiffened feeling the change in his body.
A feeling of disgust could not help but arise in her heart but she still didn't let it show on her face.
"Didn't I tell you that if you called Lord then what will happen?"
Xi Ying's caressed the soft and smooth cheek of his wife and asked her in a hoarse voice.
"Hmm?"
He humd when she didn't answer his question.
Li Rui's fists were clenched inside her sleeves but she still raised her head to look in Xi Ying's eyes and said softly
"Lord, we are in the Imperial Palace. Rui thinks that it would be better if Rui calls Lord like every other wife calls her husband."
She didn't wish to talk any more with him so she removed the arm around her waist and turned around while saying
"We should leave now. The banquet is about to start."
Rui had just taken a step away from Xi Ying when she heard Xi Ying's voice again.
"Are you upset with because I hard your sister?"
Li Rui didn't see but Xi Ying's face was full of coldness at this mont. When Li Rui stood at the sa place but didn't answer his question, he seed to have confird by himself that everything was more likely the way he was thinking to be.
Actually he could feel the change in her since the mont he had seen her after the incident with those vicious sisters.
His thoughts only got confird when he saw Li Rui wearing her robe.
For these two days, she had never gone to the banquet hall wearing her robe. The banquet hall would always remain warm so it becos very difficult to sit wearing those thick robes.
The man would remove their robes but the won would always feel shy to remove theirs even if they are covered fully from inside.
The act of removing their cloth, even though it was just an upper cloth, in front of so many n doesn't sit well with them.
Li Rui was the sa.
That's why Xi Ying had asked Li Rui not to wear the robe while going inside the banquet hall on the first day only. Whenever they exited the banquet hall in the evening, he would make her wear his robe because the air would beco very cold in the evening.
He had even noticed so many envious eyes on his wife because of his considerate actions which had only made him feel proud.
This is what he always wanted. Making Li Rui feel more treasured and loved than any other woman in this world.
But today, Li Rui wore her robe before going to the banquet hall.
She was really upset with him because of that pair of her cousin sister who had done nothing except plotting against her... and she also knew this.
He walked to stand in front of Li Rui and looked in her calm black eyes.
"Rui, you were not there but that dear sister of yours said many things about you that I as your husband didn't like them at all. I had warned her many tis but I don't know whether I should call her brave or stupid she just didn't seem to listen to my warnings.
In the end, I could not control myself when she tried to harm you and I hard her before that. You might not like it but I really don't regret whatever I did."
There was a heavy silence in the room.
Even Xi Ying's eyes were very calm now as she stared at Li Rui and continued
"This is the person I am, Rui. I don't feel anything…any sorrow or sympathy for those concubines who had died in my manor. Because in my eyes, it was sothing that they had chosen by themselves.
Before taking them inside Xi Manor, I have told them that they would be nothing to but they still wished to enter my manor. I don't care what reasons they had behind their decisions. In my eyes, Concubine Mu didn't deserve anything from Xi Manor because she poisoned Xi Ling but since you said I arranged the best things for her after her death."
Xi Ying held Li Rui's hand and traced her knuckles with his thumb while looking in her eyes.
"Your husband is a very cruel and ruthless person Rui, but only to others. For you and our son, I wish to beco the best I can. I wish to give this whole world to both of you…
"…especially you."
A very slight trace of obsession flickered in his dark black eyes when he said his last words.
One of them could not notice it and the one who noticed didn't have any reason to believe it.
Was Li Rui really his obsession?
In the past four years, he knew that she was living inside his manor and his heart had been satisfied by this fact only. It didn't matter to him what she had been doing.
Even if he found out that it was she who was killing those concubines in Xi Manor, he only showed his anger by ordering her to move to Plum Courtyard.
He never thought of separating from her.
The re thought of separation or divorce never crossed his mind.
Xi Ying was obsessed to Li Rui's presence in his life since the mont he had seen her.
Could anyone call it obsession or sothing else?
When one does not get the person he had yearned for so long, the love inside their hearts slowly starts to turn into a passion that made them do anything to get that person by their side.
It doesn't matter what they need to do for that. It doesn't matter if their whole existence would vanish for that.
The only thing that remains essential…the only thing that matters at such a ti is that person and for Xi Ying, that person was Li Rui.
