His Rui Chapter 229 - This Lord Will Destroy Li Clan

Chapter 229 - This Lord Will Destroy Li Clan

Lying underneath Li Rui, Xi Ying tried to comprehend his wife's words, however, he could not comprehend anything.
But Li Rui's question about him planning against Li Clan shocked Xi Ying.
"Rui…what are you talking about? What plans…I am not planning anything against Li Clan."
He still tried to be as gentle as he glanced at the dagger in Li Rui's hands in between fearing that she would hurt herself with the sharp dagger.
He didn't wish to provoke in her such a situation…especially when she was pregnant.
However, he didn't know that Li Rui's heart was already very cold towards him. His gentleness was just and one of his acts in her eyes.
"Do not pretend in front of me. I know everything."
With her still cold and calm eyes, Li Rui said
However, her words didn't clear the confusion Xi Ying was facing so the confused Prime Minister asked again
"What 'everything' Rui?"
Li Rui sighed looking at Xi Ying
Since he wishes for her to say everything then she will fulfill his wish.
"I heard everything in the Imperial Palace when Princess Wenling was speaking to you about your pretense in front of me."
After hearing this revelation, now Xi Ying was not fool enough to be unable to connect the dots and comprehend everything.
Li Rui's changed behavior flashed in his mind which he had thought was because of his disfiguring Li Caihong's face.
So all this while, she had been against him because of a few words said by Princess Wenling.
Looking into Li Rui's cold and sharp eyes, Xi Ying suddenly felt like a fool.
She had never trusted him all this while.
Even after he went to the borders and found her father and her brothers, even after he fought for Li Clan in the Imperial Court, even after he went against the first Prince himself just to prove to her that he was really not against Li Clan anymore….she still doesn't trust him.
Here he was thinking of ways to win her heart…unbeknownst that he had not even won her trust yet.
She thinks that all this ...was a pretense put up by him.
A feeling of exhaustion took over Xi Ying's heart suddenly. He felt a little tired.
His black eyes calm and composed not showing any emotion of his heart.
However, it was only his resolution of not telling anything about his plans to her in Li Rui's eyes.
Her hands held the dagger firmly as she whispered while leaning closely to Xi Ying's face.
"Do not think I will not kill you, Prime Minister Xi. I will not hesitate to do anything for the sake of my Clan. Prime Minister Xi is the biggest tool in His Majesty's hands, isn't it? If I destroy this tool then His Majesty will surely lose something big against Li Clan, right?"
Li Rui didn't know the power her words held.
The man lying under her was looking at her silently …hearing her each and every word with calm eyes but his heart was stabbed with a knife with her each and every word.
"Kill me."
He whispered not moving his eyes away from Li Rui's clean black eyes.
It seems that Li Rui had expected this outcome. Her cold eyes went blank but the dagger in her hands never moved ahead.
Two pairs of eyes stared at each other silently.
Xi Ying waited for Li Rui to kill him and Li Rui waited for the voice in her mind to subside.
Her hand moved finally and the dagger moved towards Xi Ying's chest.
Her eyes were blank while Xi Ying's looked into Li Rui's with a smile on his lips.
He would treasure everything given by Rui even if it was death.
Still, he would wish to have her by his side in his next life where he would commit these mistakes again…where he would cherish her…where she would trust …and perhaps love him.
As Xi Ying waited for the dagger to pierce his chest, he was confused when Li Rui stopped.
A small hope could not help but bloom inside his chest.
Could she not bear to kill him?
Perhaps somewhere in the past few months…he had occupied a small corner of her heart where she could at least not bear to kill him.
However, his hopes were shattered at Li Rui's next words.
"Your life doesn't matter to you."
Li Rui stared at Xi Ying as she continued
"But mine will do. After all, I am part of your plans … and my death will certainly affect those plans, right?"
The sharp dagger was removed away from Li Rui's chest.
With calm and cold eyes, Li Rui turned the dagger and pointed it towards her own stomach.
Lying on the bed, Xi Ying saw this scene with wide eyes. The next moment, he effortlessly free himself from Li Rui's hold and snatched the dagger away from her hands before its pointy end could even touch her skin.
Li Rui, of course, tried to fight with him but Xi Ying easily controlled her petite frame in his arms and laid her under his body.
Clank…
The dagger was thrown away somewhere inside the room.
"Don't touch mmm…"
Li Rui shouted but her words were muffled at the end as warm lips covered her cold ones.
"Mmm…."
She kicked, struggled but Xi Ying didn't leave her lips.
Warm tongue plunged inside her mouth and entangled her own for a new fight. However, she didn't want this.
So she bit down on whatever came under her teeth with her whole energy.
Hiss…
Xi Ying leaned back and Li Rui looked at the red blood on his lips without any regret in her eyes.
Black eyes filled with anger stared down at her face. She had never seen anger in those eyes…at least when he looked at her.
So he was finally ready to show his real emotions.
Her chin was pinched tightly and Xi Ying raised it a bit high as he spat out each and every word.
"Li Rui, I dare you to harm yourself again."
When Li Rui looked at him provocatively, Xi Ying's anger only increased.
Did she even know how scared he was when she had pointed that dagger at herself? Xi Ying didn't even want to imagine that scene again.
Looking at the woman who was still panting in his arms, he knew that she would dare to do it again if he didn't put any full stop at her foolish attempts.
Xi Ying leaned down and angrily bit the soft earlobes lightly.
Even though he was angry…even though he was hurt, he could not bear to hurt her.
He licked the same place where he had bit and whispered without any hesitation
"Rui if you did something like this again then …..this Lord assures you that this Lord will destroy Li Clan with his own hands."
