Pressing down the hurt forcefully, Xi Ying held Li Rui's face in her hands and tried to make her look into his eyes but she avoided them very successfully.
He couldn't force her so he felt helpless.
In his helplessness, he could only plead
"Rui, don't be like this, please."
Touching her forehead with hers, he closed his eyes and whispered
"There are some things that I can't tell you."
Because he doesn't want her to involve herself in all this anymore. He still hasn't found out who attacked her last two times.
He was afraid that he won't be able to do anything if something happened to her.
That's why he wants her to stay away from all this planning and scheming.
"But you don't need to worry about anything. I'll not let anything happen to Li Clan."
When he opened her eyes, he saw that she was already looking at him.
