Chapter 718: An Intruder In The Chambers

Li Rui was silent…too silent than he liked. Because at this moment, he wanted to hear her thoughts.          

She had changed. Xi Ying could sense it. Or she was trying to change but why?      

That was something he didn\'t get.      

However, when she finally opened her mouth to speak, he finally understood her reasons…her silly reasons.      

"It would impact Xi Clan\'s reputation as well."     

He should have already known it. Xi Ying thought as he swiftly removed the heavy pieces of jewelry from his wife\'s body.      

These changes …they come in her only after he had started to get closer to her. Before this, she had never cared about the reputation of Xi Clan. Her decisions were independent and something she really thought or wanted to do.      

However, after they have reconciled and were close to each other, she feels obligated to care about the reputation of his clan.     

After he had removed almost all the jewelry, Xi Ying looked at the hairpin in her hair and Li Rui said immediately.      

"That is not heavy at all."     

So he nodded his head.      

Then a moment later, he held her cheek in his hand said with solemnity and firmness in his voice. He wished that she would really believe him because he had said the same to her at the time of Li Na and Li Caihong when Li Rong had visited Xi Manor and she had allowed her to enter just because she was afraid that Xi Clan\'s reputation would be harmed if she didn\'t give respect to an elder of her Clan.      

He really wanted her to know that he didn\'t want her to compromise in anything …not after whatever she had gone through for all those four years because of his ignorance.      

"Rui, Xi Clan and I should be the reason for you to feel free to do anything…not the reason for you to think so carefully behind your every action."     

Li Rui stared at Xi Ying in silence as if she seemed to absorbing whatever he said or she was trying to see whether he really meant it.      

Xi Ying didn\'t know what out of these two she was trying to do, but he stayed still and let her do whatever she was trying to do.      

"You don\'t care about your clan\'s reputation?"     

He chuckled helplessly when she asked him this question suddenly.      

Could she not see his love for her at all?     

Leaning closer to her lips, Xi Ying stayed there but never kissed her. His eyes were gentle and soft as he said      

"Not more than you."     

Seeing the surprise flickering in her eyes, his smile went more helpless and he tried to enlighten her of his feelings that he still didn\'t know she was clearly aware of or not after his confession.      

"Rui, when you love someone, you care about them only. You want to see them happy…regardless of what the rest of the world thinks about you."     

"And if you, my wife, the woman I love so much is not happy then what is the meaning behind all these luxuries and power. I rather abandon all them."     

By the time Xi Ying finished, Li Rui\'s cheeks were red.      

She could feel the heat on her cheeks so she looked away from his deep black eyes and turned to the mirror again.              

"I will just wear a bangle on each hand. It won\'t be heavy then. Mother used to say married woman should wear this."     

Xi Ying didn\'t argue this time.      

He was sure that she had understood him to a great extent this time.      

And one jade bangle on each hand…he didn\'t think it would be that heavy. And she had the freedom to remove them as well if she wanted. At least she won\'t wear that heavy necklace.      

Picking the heavy necklace, he frowned and said solemnly.     

"I will ask them to make something lighter for you."     

She would not have to wear them when she is in Xi Manor but if they went to Imperial Palace, then she might not even listen to him at that time.      

So he better finds out some solution to this problem.      

.     

.     

.     

Inside the dining room, Xi Ling sighed when he saw his parents stepping inside the room finally. He was feeling very hungry.      

He smiled widely when he saw that his mother was not wearing jewelry anymore.      

Actually a few days back, he had seen his mother frowning when Li Hua was helping her wearing jewelry. When she had asked Sister Li Hua to find something lighter to wear, he had noted it down in his small mind.      

The small bun knew that only his father could do something in this regard. And that\'s why he intentionally brought up this matter in front of his father.        

Xi Ling swayed his legs while humming to himself while Xi Ying and Li Rui sat on the chairs around the round table.      

However, a few moments later, when he saw his father putting a plate in front of him and saying     

"Eat"     

His joyousness vanished suddenly.      

Was no one going to feed him?      

Ah, he liked to be fed by someone…especially when his mother fed him. Though even his father will work at least one of them should be there, right?     

He was still a child.      

Xi Ling looked at his mother with aggrieved eyes.      

Li Rui saw this and said immediately.     

"Come here, Xiao Ling. Mother will feed you."         

However, Xi Ying immediately stopped the soft heart of the mother that was overflowing with love.     

"He needs to learn to eat on his own. Sometimes is fine but he is getting too much habitual of getting fed."     

Xi Ling looked at his father with shock-filled eyes as if asking out loud just how he know this. Though it was true, he didn\'t understand what was wrong with that.      

It was a moment later, Xi Ling heard his father saying     

"Dependency in any case or any matter on someone else…even if they are your closest people is never a good thing, Xi Ling. It starts from a point and then spreads to something else slowly and slowly…in the end leaving a person completely dependent on someone else."     

Xi Ling turned his head to look at his father and saw his busy eating. He was not even looking at her. He saw his mother who was nodding her head as if indicating that his father was right.      

Xi Ying suddenly turned to look at his son and said      

"Do you want to become a person who will depend on others?"     

Xi Ling immediately shook his head.      

He didn\'t. He wanted to be like his father. He wanted to protect his mother. How could he do that if he depended on others?      

Xi Ying nodded his head in satisfaction when Xi Ling suddenly picked the chopsticks from the table and started to eat. Though his movements were a little clumsy, he was trying his best.      

Picking up his chopsticks again, he served more on his wife\'s plate and said casually     

"You can have dinner from your mother\'s hands but breakfast and lunch…have it on your own."     

Xi Ling smiled on hearing this.      

While Li Rui looked at Xi Ying.      

He was a good father. She couldn\'t help but think this.     

He was also a very good husband. He made her feel happy. Perhaps she could also l…      

She blinked when the thought suddenly come to her mind and she realized what she was thinking.      

Flustered by her own thoughts, she picked up her chopsticks and started to eat.      

.     

.     

.     

The morning sun was spreading bright rays in the Imperial Palace.      

Inside her chambers, Yi Huiqing who was deeply asleep on her bed moved suddenly. Then a few moments later, she opened her eyes slowly.      

Her eyes first went to the window of her chambers and she knew very well that it was very late.          

However, she didn\'t hurry in climbing down from the bed. She didn\'t have to.      

The concubines were exempted from the early morning greetings from the time she had got injured by the arrow. So she didn\'t have to get ready for these events in the early morning.      

However, she was surprised that her maidservant Lin Daiyu didn\'t come to wake her up. By this time, usually, she would come to wake him up and help her wash up.      

She could feel her whole body numb because of the medicines and sleeping almost the whole day. The wound was healing but it was a very long process. Because of the medicines, she would feel sleepy and tired all day.      

Perhaps it was only because she was feeling numbness that she didn\'t feel the grip on her hands. It was only after a few moments, that she realized that something was wrong.      

And her eyes went to look at the other side of the bed.      

Her whole body seemed to go still when she saw the man sleeping beside her.
