His Rui

Chapter 499 "Should I Eat You As Well..."

The next morning, Xi Ying woke up very early to go to the Imperial Palace. Since it was he who was organizing this banquet, he had to go early and look into each and every arrangement once again just to confirm that everything will go right in the banquet.

Today\'s banquet was very important. If the treaty was signed nicely between Xin and the neighboring Empire then Xin would not have to fight against the neighboring Empire to defend on the borders again in the future. They would not have to be in a defensive mode continuously.

The number of soldiers dying every year would reduce.

And this would save many resources for Xin as well.

"You should go back to sleep."

Xi Ying said helplessly to his wife when he saw her climbing down from the bed to follow him out of the room.

Li Rui had just woken up from sleep. The sleepy look on her face made her look so cute that Xi Ying just wanted to hold her and kiss her endlessly.

However, more than that, he wished that she would go back to sleep.

At the beginning of the second month of Li Rui\'s pregnancy, Li Rui used to feel very sleepy. She feels sleepy now too but it was rare for her to get a good sleep.

The sudden change made him worried.

Xi Ying didn\'t know what has happened suddenly.

The old physician also didn\'t find anything wrong and Li Rui assured him that she was alright.

He would, however, make sure that she would sleep for at least four shichens but for that, he would always need to accompany her otherwise she would get down from the bed and start to do something.

That\'s why when Zhao Wang Lei offered him to sleep in one of the chambers of the Imperial Palace, Xi Ying refused indesicively.

He seems to feel that Li Rui won\'t sleep without him and he didn\'t want to disturb his wife\'s sleeping pattern.

Getting a good rest for her at this time was very necessary.

Even last night, he had been worried that if he would get up early then Li Rui would also wake up and that\'s why he tried to get down from the bed as carefully as he could without making any noise.

But Xi Ying still didn\'t know how ...Li Rui would just open her eyes suddenly and look around the room...until her eyes would rest on him.

And then he would find her staring at him in a daze for a few moments.

At such moments, only Xi Ying knew how much he wished to know what was going inside her little head.

One thing he was sure of that was that Li Rui can\'t sleep without him.

At the same time, he would wonder if he should be happy with this. A very large part of his heart was actually filled with joy because of this.

He felt special.

He felt needed.

Just like how he was not able to sleep without Li Rui, she also was not able to do the same without him.

But sometimes, he would feel helpless...like right now.

"Rui"

Xi Ying blocked Li Rui\'s way.

He held her face between his hand and carresed her cheeks gently. Staring into her clean black eyes, he whispered softly

"Go back to sleep, okay? I will get ready on my own and the leave for the Imperial Palace."

Xi Ying really wished that Li Rui would listen to him but she was very stubborn sometimes ...just like right now.

"I will sleep after you will leave."

After that, she pushed down Xi Ying\'s hands and said as she walked forward.

"I will ask the servant to prepare bath for you."

Xi Ying sighed helplessly for the second time as he followed his wife.

He stood behind her silently as she asked the servant to prepare a bath for her.

Soon Li Hua also stepped inside the living room. Her eyes flickered with surprise when she saw the awake Li Rui.

However, she didn\'t say anything when she saw Xi Ying. She seemed to remember that Xi Ying was going to leave for the Imperial Palace early today.

So Li Hua silently took all the works that Li Rui was about to do just now.

Xi Ying nodded his head in satisfaction seeing this.

Only because of such loyals maids like Li Hua and Liu Lan by Li Rui\'s side, he was relieved to leave Li Rui here in Xi Manor.

Even when the Emperor himself was looking for an opportunity to kill her.

Xi Ying pulled Li Rui inside the room again after Li Hua started to handle everything.

He made her sit on the bed and then went to have a bath.

When he came back, he was satisfied to see that she was still sitting there and at this moment, she had a bowl of grapes in her hands as she ate silently.

It must be Li Hua who did this.

Xi Ying smiled.

Was it weird that every action of Li Rui seemed to be very cute to him?

Even now when she was silently eating grapes, he couldn\'t help but want to hug her tightly in his arms and kiss her again and again.

The urge was perhaps too strong that he stepped forward and suddenly bent down to eat the grapes that Li Rui was about to put between her lips.

His warm lips wrapped around her soft finger and stole the grape from it.

He smiled widely when he saw a frown on Li Rui\'s forehead as she looked at him with a look that asked him silently \'why did you steal my grape?\'

Her sister lent anger was also very cute in Xi Ying\'s eyes.

Xi Ying chuckled as he leaned down and pecked his wife\'s lips gently.

"Hmm...so should I eat you as well? You would be sweeter than these grapes, right?"
