"Li Rui wants separation from Minister Xi."
The robe in Xi Ying's hands fell on the floor. His body froze.
"No."
His answer was firm, without any lack of hesitation.
For a moment, Xi Ying felt angry. Separation. He never even thought of this word in the past four years. Was it that easy for her to say these words?
His heart ached.
But then the next moment, Xi Ying thought why would Li Rui suddenly want to separate from him?
She didn't have any feelings for him, he knew, but he also knew that she would never leave Xi Ling.
Then why would sheโฆ..
The answer was somewhat easy. Unless someone forced her to. She could do anything to save her loved ones. He had already witnessed this in the past three months.
The anger and pain subsided at this thought. Looking at the thin figure in front of himself, his eyes flickered with warmth and gentleness.ย
