His Rui

Chapter 805: Xi Ying Wants Only Rui

Because this man was completely different from the Zhao Zhang Wei with whom she had spent four years.     

However, she could also see that this Zhao Zhang Wei was real.      

He shared his feelings with her. He cared for her and he loved her.      

There was not even a single day when she didn't feel his love for her.     

On the other hand in Xi Manor as well, everything was going well.      

For Xi Ying, his family was complete after the birth of his daughter.      

It was one morning all of a sudden that Li Rui woke up early.      

Seeing that, her daughter and son were asleep, she asked Li Hua to stay there and then went to look for Xi Ying.      

According to what she thought, he should have been on the training grounds. For the past few days, Li Rui had been thinking of talking about the matter she was to talk to him about, today.      

However, she was confused when she didn't find Xi Ying on the training grounds.      

On her way back to Plum Courtyard, she came across Gu Li who was also surprised to see her so early in the morning.      

When he heard from her that she was looking for Xi Ying, he told her that he had seen Xi Ying going toward the old Physician's courtyard.      

Li Rui was surprised.      

After she had a small talk with Gu Li, she walked towards the old physician's courtyard with a frown on her forehead.     

She wondered what Xi Ying was doing there.      

The servant inside the courtyard saw her and greeted her respectfully. Li Rui walked inside.      

She was just near the door and pushed it slightly.      

From the slightly opened door, she heard the old physician's voice.      

"Here it is! Young man, listen to me carefully. Though you have already decided to drink this medicine, I need to remind you that it will leave you unable to produce a child for the rest of your life as long as you drink it every morning for a month. This is a huge decision. I would suggest that you think over it again."     

When the old physician finished, Xi Ying's voice followed      

"This Lord has already thought it over. Give me that bowl."     

His voice was firm and didn't carry any hesitation. However, outside the door, Li Rui was completely frozen.      

It was after a moment that her legs listened to her brain and she pushed the door to enter the room.      

The sound made both of the men look toward her.      

Both of them were shocked…especially Xi Ying.          

"Rui, why are you awake so early? Are you feeling unwell?"     

By the time, Xi Ying finished his words, he had already walked to her side and was now holding her hands to check her temperature. It was only when he felt that her temperature was alright, did he sigh in relief.      

However, looking at his wife's emotionless face, Xi Ying followed her gaze which was on the medicine bowl on the table and he stilled slightly.      

The old physician also realized that Li Rui had heard everything.      

He wisely took his leave to give the couple some time to talk alone.

Inside the room, Li Rui pulled her hand out of Xi Ying's hand and walked to the table. She took the medicine bowl near her nose and when she smelled it, her heart stilled.      

It was really the herb that left a person unable to produce a child for their whole lifetime.     

"Rui…"     

Li Rui came out of her thoughts when she heard her husband's voice.      

Putting the bowl down, she turned around to look at him and asked in pure confusion     

"Ying…you… why are you drinking this?"     

Her mind couldn't really think of any reason.      

Xi Ying sighed. A moment later, he walked towards her. Holding her face in his hands, he looked into her eyes and said      

"When you were giving birth to Jia, do you know that you have gone completely unconscious?"     

Li Rui nodded her head. She remembered.     

"But that was only because I was too exhausted."     

She said somehow grasping what was he trying to say. However, what she heard next shook her heart completely.      

"But anything could have happened, Rui. I have been unable to sleep peacefully whenever I realize what would be the consequences if I had not woken up. I would have lost you completely."     

Xi Ying's eyes went red and he closed them immediately.      

"You don't know how scared I was."     

He whispered as he rested his forehead on hers.      

During this whole time, Li Rui stared at him blankly. When he suddenly opened his eyes again and said          

"Let's not have any more children, Rui, alright? I know I am trying to impose the decision on you. But I don't want to lose you, Rui. We have a son and now a daughter as well. It is enough."     

Li Rui didn't know what she should say.      

It took her a few moments to digest whatever she heard.      

Her heart was beating fast inside her chest.      

Could someone care for her so much? Li Rui had never thought so.     

A few moments later, she looked at him again. He looked so firm. Even if she stopped him, perhaps he would drink the medicine.      

"Then I can drink the medicine? You don't need to do so."     

She said with a serious expression on her face.      

"You are the head of Xi Clan. You can't be unable to have a child, Ying."     

However, Xi Ying frowned at her words.      

"No, you can't. The old man told me that the medicine can have effects on your health. You just gave birth to Jia and you are still weak. I won't let you drink it."     

After finishing his words, Xi Ying picked the bowl and then gulped in one go.      

He was afraid that she would convince him somehow so he just didn't want to give her any chance to change his decision.      

Li Rui was shocked when she saw this.      

"Ying…you…"     

She opened and closed her mouth as she tried to find the words. However, Xi Ying put down the bowl and hugged her in his arms.      

"You are the only woman in my life. I have not loved anyone this much, Rui. Let me ensure that you stay by my side until I am alive."     

Hiding in his chest, Li Rui didn't know why but she felt a little emotional when she heard his words.      

He didn't even know that every time he did something like this, he was breaking the wall she had surrounding her heart with to protect herself.      

The wall was falling and he was not even giving her any chance to build it all over again.      

If it continued, she was afraid that she would be left at his mercy.
