Chapter 284 - Lord Xi Is Proud Of His Wife

"Rui"
Xi Ying instantly appeared by Li Rui's side when he heard her words.
His firm hold on her arm indicated that he would not let her do whatever she was thinking of doing. As if that was not enough, he even said with his own mouth.
"You are not going to do what I am thinking. Go with An Si. I promise you that I will bring Li Hua safely back to you."
Xi Ying said firmly.
However, Li Rui only looked at Xi Ying silently.
It was a moment later she finally whispered
"I am not going back …not leaving everyone here alone."
For a moment, Xi Ying thought that even he was included in that 'everyone'. However, he soon pushed that thought away. The woman who didn't even trust him …why would she care about his life?
"Rui…"
Xi Ying tried again but this time Li Rui interrupted him.
"He is holding Li Hua because he wants me. If I went away then he will just kill her even before you would do anything. And then he will chase me."
Li Rui knew that the shadow guard in front of Xi Ying must be a very good opponent otherwise he would have killed him by now.
Xi Ying could not refute those words at all. The speed of the shadow guard was the same as him.
But he could not see Li Rui walking inside the lion's den with his own eyes.
"Do you trust me?"
He heard Li Rui whispering and Xi Ying instantly nodded his head.
"More than myself."
Li Rui's lips suddenly had a very small smile …the smile that Xi Ying had not seen for many days. She didn't smile in front of him since the moment she had started to think that he was planning to destroy Li Clan.
So when she held his hand with that soft smile on her lips and placed it on her stomach, Xi Ying thought that he could give her anything she wanted in this whole world.
"So trust me because I will never let anything happen to our child."
'our child…'
Lost in those clean black eyes, Xi Ying was mesmerized by that soft smile.
"Do you trust me, Rui?"
The question slipped out of his mouth unconsciously again and he cursed himself immediately for asking such a question. Because the smile from Li Rui's lips disappeared almost immediately.
She was about to say something but could not say it as Li Hua's painful scream was heard again.
This time, there was a knife in the shadow guard's hands and the knife was on Li Hua's neck. A drop of blood from the cut skin on her neck rolled down as Li Hua tried to stop herself from crying out loud.
"Come here or this maid will be lying on the ground in a few moments with her head separated from her body."
The horrifying images of what could happen made a shudder run down Li Hua's spine but she still signed Li Rui not to do any such thing with her eyes.
"I will come there and you will leave Li Hua."
Li Rui said ignoring her maid's eyes while Xi Ying clenched his fists tightly.
"Yes"
The shadow guard said and Li Hua immediately started shouting ignoring the pain in her neck.
"No, Young Miss. Don't …don't come here. Go away …"
However, Li Rui still stepped forward. Xi Ying's hand almost rose to grab Li Rui again but one question asked by Li Rui again rose in his mind.
'Do you trust me?'
He did but it was still very difficult.
So Xi Ying did what he was thinking before.
As Li Rui stepped forward, Xi Ying stepped back. The shadow guard's whole attention was on Li Rui and that was reasonable because Li Rui was his target.
On the other hand, An Si looked at his master unable to comprehend what he was trying to do. However, Xi Ying just signed him to stay silent.
Step by step, Li Rui reached closer to the shadow guard.
She stopped amidst her way and said to him
"Leave my maid now."
However, the shadow guard just smiled mockingly and said
"The maid will remain like this until my arms don't have Lady Li."
An Si was left furious by these ambiguous words. As a man he could see what the eyes of the shadow guard had as he looked at Li Rui.
His clenched hands on his sword indicated just how much he wished to kill that shadow guard then and there but he was helpless.
But Li Rui still looked calm. She calmly stepped forward. Even when she was only a step away from the shadow guard, she didn't look scared at all.
This kind of calmness left An Si surprised.
However, his surprise was soon replaced by fear when he saw the shadow guard throwing away Li Hua and raising his hand to grab Li Rui.
Everything happened too fast.
One moment the shadow guard was sneering and raising his hand to grab Li Rui and the other moment, An Si saw how Li Rui suddenly grabbed the shadow guard's hand that was holding the knife and she turned it around so easily … stabbing his own knife in his own chest.
"Ah…Ah…" He shouted two times.
The shadow guard looked at Li Rui's cold eyes with his own wide eyes.
However, he didn't slide down on the floor. Instead, with staggering steps, he turned around and saw another face that had become his death.
With his deep black and cold eyes fixed on the injured shadow guard, Xi Ying smirked coldly.
His eyes went on the stab that had been created by Li Rui. Pride surfaced through Xi Ying's eyes and he caressed that place as if it was a kind of artwork.
Then as if he didn't wish to spoil it.
He raised his dagger and then stabbed the other side of the chest again and again.
"Ah…ah…"
Stab after stab…until the shadow guard slid down on the floor.
