(At Present)

"Jiejie…"

A whisper fell in Li Rui\'s ears and she flinched a little. After coming out of her trance, she looked a little lost until a few moments later, her eyes focused on Li Chen and they gained their usual calmness back.

Li Chen swallowed as if stopping the tears in his eyes that were threatening to fall out at any moment.

"I don\'t remember much…what I did that day. However, I have an inkling that I hurt you a lot …so much that you asked me to never step inside your courtyard again."

Li Chen paused for a moment and stared at Li Rui silently. He wanted to see any trace of blame and grudge she held in her heart for him.

However, she didn\'t have any.

It pained him more. Because the calmness of Li Rui\'s face was as if she was standing in front a stranger…a stranger whose words, being alive or dead, or nothing else about him didn\'t actually matter to her.

"Jiejie…can you forgive me?"

Li Chen swallowed again and was about to speak up when Li Rui spoke before him.

"Didn\'t you come to see me?"

Li Chen was confused on hearing the question but nodded his head immediately.

"Since you have already seen me, you should leave now."

The confusion was replaced by the pain again. However, no one really seemed to sympathize with him on seeing the hurt expression on his face.

And Li Chen couldn\'t even blame anyone for that.

He walked around Li Rui and then stopped in front of Xi Ying who was standing just behind Li Rui.

The young Prime Minister had a cold and indifferent face as he didn\'t even glance at Li Chen even though he was standing in front of him. Instead, his eyes were fixed on his wife\'s back completely ignoring Li Chen.

It was not until Li Chen opened his mouth and called him, did Xi Ying open his mouth.

"Prime Minister Xi"

Xi Ying moved his cold eyes that had a hint of laziness on Li Chen but didn\'t say anything in response.

Li Chen didn\'t like it all. He thought that Xi Ying was very arrogant. However, the way he was so popular in the whole Empire as well as the neighboring ones, he didn\'t know whether he could really blame Xi Ying for being so arrogant or not.

"My sister should stay happily and peacefully here otherwise even if I had to come back from the border on my legs, I will do even that. And then I will fight with you and take my sister back to the Li Manor."

Xi Ying raised his eyebrows as he looked at the not so fully matured boy who was trying to have a threatening expression on his face.

His lips had a mocking and cold smile for a moment.

He didn\'t understand sometimes whether all these people really cared for Li Rui or not.

The need of the words Li Chen just said was four years ago when even he didn\'t know what kind of life his wife was living in his manor.

Xi Ying thought that if anyone from Li Manor had tried to find out the truth four years ago and had told him then all of this would not have happened. Li Rui would not have suffered at all for four years.

He would have then respected General Li and Li Chen more.

However, now when he knew everything and when his heart was filled with unconditional love for her…all of this didn\'t even matter.

Li Chen\'s words didn\'t matter at all because they didn\'t make any effect.

"She doesn\'t need your worry. Instead, if you want to let her live peacefully then make less trouble."

He advised Li Chen coldly.

In the end, Li Chen was Li Na and Li Caihong\'s brother so Xi Ying couldn\'t help but think that he will be no different from them.

However, seeing Li Chen\'s anger-filled eyes at his words, Xi Ying only felt amused.

"I am serious."

Li Chen whispered sharply.

However, Xi Ying just smirked and said

"So I am."

Stepping closer to the young boy, Xi Ying smiled lightly when he saw that Li Rui had turned around but spoke in Li Chen\'s ear in a very cold tone that was completely different from the smile on his lips.

"Don\'t make any trouble after going to the borders, boy, or I shall make sure that you will never be able to make any other trouble again."

Li Chen\'s eyes were filled with fear for a moment when he sensed the coldness in Xi Ying\'s eyes. However, he soon composed himself but he was still a moment later as Xi Ying had already noticed that he had really created the fear inside Li Chen\'s mind.

Xi Ying didn\'t look guilty at all as he stepped around Li Chen and walked to stand beside Li Rui.

Holding her closer to himself by her waist, he stroked her cheek and whispered

"You should have rested more. Your face still looks a little pale and tired."

Li Rui didn\'t say anything in response and just stared at him silently. Xi Ying looked in her eyes for a few moments and then asked

"What happened?"

"What did you say to him?"

A helpless sigh escaped from Xi Ying\'s lips and he chuckled at himself.

How could he even think that his actions would be able to escape from Li Rui\'s eyes?

He stared at her with amused eyes and told her the truth

"Well…I might have threatened him not to make any trouble or I will not let him live."

Li Rui\'s face did not have any emotion for a moment before she nodded her head at Xi Ying\'s words.

Li Chen who noticed this interaction again felt a pinch inside his heart and looked away. He gulped and rubbed his eyes with his hands before he turned around to leave.

At the door of the living room, Li Chen was again stopped instantly when he heard the soft voice again

"Chenchen…"

Tears again filled Li Chen\'s eyes and this time he no longer could stop them from falling out.

\'Chenchen…it has been so long since his Jiejie had called him like that.\'

Li Chen didn\'t even turn around to look at Li Rui because he knew how he looked at this moment. He was too embarrassed to let his sister look at him when he was in such a state.

Fortunately, Li Rui didn\'t seem to mind this and continued

"Come back as a person whom Li Clan can feel proud of. I will forgive you."

Li Rui\'s calm black eyes moved to look at Li Chen\'s back. She could see his shoulder shaking every few seconds.

A few moments passed like that.

The last thing Li Rui heard from Li Chen before he left was

"I will…I will make my Jiejie proud."
