'Because I don't have any reason to trust you.'
The words buzzed in Xi Ying's ears making him feel as if there was something stuck in his throat.
He went to find her father and brothers on the borders, he brought them back safely, he also fought for Li Clan in the Imperial Court…in front of the Emperor itself …
…and she says that she doesn't have any reason to trust him.
What more could he do to prove to her that he…he really was trying to protect her and her people?
Regardless of what kind of expression the young Prime Minister's face had, Li Rui continued with her same blank eyes.
"Four years ago, on Rui's first night in Xi Manor, Prime Minister Xi had called Rui 'a disgusting woman who drugged Prime Minister Xi'. That night Rui had seen the true disgust and hatred in Prime Minister Xi's eyes for herself. "
Xi Ying gulped as he heard Li Rui's words and his eyes lowered subconsciously unable to look in those clean black eyes.
