His Rui

Chapter 677 Xi Ying Doesn't Want Rui To Sew Clothes

　　General Li almost requested Xi Ying not to bring out Li Rui again until they were sure that she was completely safe. 

　　Xi Ying just nodded his head calmly making General Li surprised. 

　　He had never expected that Xi Ying would actually agree. Perhaps Xi Ying also seemed to realize that in order to calm the general down, he seemed to have agreed with something he said. 

　　So he immediately elaborated but quite awkwardly.

　　"This Lord would never put his wife in a dangerous position, General Li. That's something which doesn't need to be mentioned."

　　General Li smiled. 

　　Before he left, he patted Xi Ying's shoulder again. 

　　Xi Ying frowned but ignored the smile he had seen on the general's face. 

　　He calmly walked to his horse and then left for Xi Manor. 

　　As usual, Xi Ying first went to Plum Courtyard. He smiled when at the entrance he heard his son's cheerful laughter. 

　　On reaching the outer hall, he found him playing with the maids. Xi Ying's eyes soon found Li Rui who was sitting on a chair and had something in her hands.

　　His brows narrowed and he walked forward to see clearly what she had. 

　　The maids stopped running when they noticed his presence. And sensing the sudden silence, Xi Ling also lowered down the cloth tied to his eyes. 

　　Seeing his father, he smiled brightly and immediately ran towards him. 

　　"Father…" 

　　While Xi Ying who was walking toward his wife felt his son clinging to his leg. 

　　He sighed as he put a hand on his collar and said strictly 

　　"Stand straight. Why are you becoming like cola?"

　　Xi Ling pouted as he took his hands back from his father.

　　Hmph…his father didn't deserve such a warm welcome! Only his mother deserved it. 

　　He completely left his father and walked to his mother while Xi Ying who noticed his son's silent contempt looked at his small back with his lips twitching in anger. 

　　Could he not see teach some manner to this his son now? He was getting spoilt day by day. 

　　Thinking inside his heart, Xi Ying decided to deal with his son later. Because at this moment, he wanted to do nothing but spend some time with Rui. 

　　Li Rui smiled at her son who was suddenly hugging her bloated belly, She ruffled his hair gently and Xi Ling forgot all his grievances. 

　　On the other hand, Xi Ying approached her and asked

　　"What were you doing, Rui?"

　　Li Rui saw Xi Ying looking at the cloth and needle in her hand.

　　Before she could answer his question, Xi Ling answered his father.

　　"Father, Mother is making some cloth for the Xi Ling's sibling."

　　The small bun smiled shyly as he continued 

　　"After completing this cloth, Mother will also make a set of cloth for Xi Ling. A pair of shoes, a pair of socks, robe and…"

　　Interrupting Xi Ling's joyous description mercilessly, Xi Ying held Li Rui's hands and said with a deep frown on his forehead.

　　"But why do you need to do this? I will have the tailor make the clothes for the child. Don't do all this and get tired."

　　Xi Ying said strictly. 

　　However, Li Rui smiled softly and said

　　"But Ying, I want to do this."

　　Xi Ying sighed as he looked away from Li Rui's smile and her eyes. He suddenly thought that perhaps General Li's fears were true. He could give her anything she wanted. 

　　Could his love prove fatal for her as well?

　　Shaking these thoughts out of his head, he said strictly this time.

　　"No Rui, there is no need to do all this."

　　Seeing her smile disappearing he held her hands and said very gently this time. 

　　"I will have the best tailor make the clothes for our child, Rui. Leave this, alright?"

　　On the other hand, Xi Ling was now frowning at his father. Putting both of his hands on his hip, he looked at his father and said 

　　"Father, Xi Ling knows why are you stopping Mother. Father is actually worried that father would not get any clothes made by his mother. But Father, it is not good you are stopping Mother from making Xi Ling's and Xi Ling's siblings' clothes as well."

　　Xi Ying ignored his son's stupid words and looked at Rui waiting for her to say something.

　　However, Li Rui freed his hands from hers and picked up the cloth and needle, and then left from there. The small bun looked at his father once more with a frown on his forehead and then followed his mother inside. 

　　Xi Ying was surprised. 

　　It was the first time she was behaving like this. However, when he remembered from a book that he had read that some changes occur in the woman during pregnancy, he sighed. 

　　He understood that she was angry.   

　　But he was also worried. 

　　What if the needle poked her finger! What if she got too tired!

　　Just when he was thinking all this, he heard a voice.

　　"My Lord should allow Madam to sew the clothes."

　　Xi Ying came out of his trance and looked at Li Hua who was standing in front of him with her head lowered. 

　　He frowned but didn't say anything. 

　　Li Hua continued 

　　"My Lord, any mother would like to sew clothes for her child. Did My Lord's mother not do so?"

　　Li Hua didn't notice but Xi Ying stiffened at the mention of his mother. 

　　His mother…yes, she had also sewn clothes for him …perhaps.       

　　Xi Ying shook his head to shake away his thoughts and focused his attention back on Li Hua.

　　Li Hua was nervous when she didn't hear anything from his side so she tried another method.

　　"My Lord, My Lady would give up on her own in a few days. This servant can assure My Lord. Please don't upset My Lady by not allowing her to do something if she wants to do it for now." 

　　Xi Ying was confused by Li Hua's words. He didn't know why she was sure that Rui would stop sewing in a few days. 

　　But he also didn't want to upset Li Rui. 

　　So he whispered 'alright' and walked inside the Plum Courtyard. 

　　If she didn't stop, then he would find some way to make her stop.
