His Rui Chapter 287 - She Wanted To Live With This Relief

Chapter 287 - She Wanted To Live With This Relief

An Ping said the truth.
Li Rui soon saw Xi Ying.
'Confuse them.'
The words Li Rui had heard from Xi Ying before she found herself flying in the sky with An Ping only made sense now.
The person who traveled with her towards their unknown destination changed after every few moments.
But the shadow guards were still following them.
However, Li Rui soon realized that Xi Ying's strategy was really working. After a half shichen, she couldn't see any shadow guard following them when she was with An Ping.
Now they had stopped changing the persons.
So the shadow guards must be thinking of staying at the same place, that is, fighting with Xi Ying because they would think that Xi Ying will again go to look for her as he did in the past half shichen.
"My Lady, are you alright?"
An Ping asked Li Rui as soon as he put her down on the ground.
He knew that Li Rui was pregnant but he didn't know how to take care of a pregnant woman. So he could only ask Li Rui how she was feeling after setting her down after every few minutes.
Flying constantly in the cold air might not be good for her health. Thought An Si but he couldn't touch her to give her his inner heat also.
Li Rui softly nodded her head as she rubbed her arms and then looked at the sky.
The sky was dark now.
"Do you have any estimate of your master's arrival time?" She asked with a small frown on her forehead.
It had already been a long time since she had last seen Xi Ying compared to how she was able to see him after every few minutes before.
An Ping also looked towards the sky and then answered respectfully.
"No, My Lady, But according to this servant…Master should only come now after killing all of them."
Li Rui was silent for a moment and then she nodded her head lightly.
"My Lady can have a seat. We will wait for Master here."
Li Rui's eyebrows knitted for a moment and then she looked around the place she was present at that moment.
Her frown settled down when she saw that they were surrounded by dense trees. The shadow guards if came more, won't be able to find them easily. But…
"How will Lord find us?"
Li Rui asked An Ping.
She was surprised when An Ping smiled lightly. However, it disappeared as soon as it came.
"My Lady doesn't need to worry about that. This servant had left some marks on the previous places we stopped. Master will easily find us."
Li Rui sighed softly and then finally sat down under the tree.
Her eyes, however, looked around in all directions showing that she was waiting for someone.
An Ping, of course, noticed this.
His eyes flashed with respect and approval for his master's wife.
Li Rui was really the best mistress Xi Manor could get. An Ping thought inside his heart.
Seeing how she killed those shadow guards whenever it was needed, without any fear or hesitation, An Ping had been very surprised.
However, his heart started to have respect for Li Rui from that moment.
A true shadow guard always respected a strong person even if that person was his own opponent. Then Li Rui was a woman, that too, his master's wife whom he should have respected since the start.
However, now this respect was not because of her being his master's wife but it was there because of being a strong woman.
Had it been any other woman then An Ping was sure that she had been scared out of her wits. Instead of helping them and not creating any trouble, she would have created more trouble only. But Li Rui didn't do any such thing.
His master needed such a strong woman by his side.
The second reason behind this unreasonable care for Li Rui was his guilt. After all, it was his own brother who became the reason for all of her miseries for four years she lived in Xi Manor.
He would protect Madam Xi and this unborn child until his last breath. An Ping promised inside his heart.
"You…I suggest you to go and look for your master once."
Li Rui said as she looked at the dark sky interrupting An Ping's thoughts.
And the third reason behind An Ping's respect and care was that Li Rui didn't look lofty and snobbish at all.
"My Lady, Master will c…"
An Ping was forced to stop amidst his words when Li Rui and he heard a sound and An Ping swiftly turned to look behind himself. One hand on his sword and the other covering Li Rui behind his back without touching her, he looked ready to kill.
His wariness only reduced when he heard a familiar voice.
"It's me, An Ping."
An Ping heard a whisper and his body relaxed instantly.
"Master is here."
An Ping said to Li Rui when she looked at him with confusion.
After saying these words, An Ping immediately stepped away from Li Rui. And the next moment, Xi Ying jumped down on the ground just a few steps away from Li Rui.
With his one knee and hand on the ground, he raised his head and sighed when he found Li Rui standing in front of his eyes.
The same kind of sigh escaped from Li Rui's lips seeing the man in front of her eyes.
Was it relief?
Li Rui didn't know and at this moment she really didn't want to know. Perhaps it was because she had started to understand herself. If she really tried to find the answer to this question then she would just overthink and hence she would just destroy whatever little relief she had inside her heart at this moment.
For now, she just wanted to let her mind rest.
For now, she wanted to live with this relief.
