Li Rui stood in a daze at the exit of the Plum Courtyard.
Her eyes were slightly blank as she looked at the sky where Xi Ying had just disappeared with his shadow guards.
Regardless of how much she had tried to stop herself from saying, she still had said in the end
"Ying, don't go."
When the words had come out of her mouth, she herself was startled but she didn't regret it.
She could see the surprise in Xi Ying's eyes as well, however, he seemed to compose himself very soon. Perhaps because he understood that she had been largely affected by her nightmare though he didn't know what exactly she saw.
However, he was right.
She had actually been affected a lot by it.
"I need to go, Rui."
He had said to her gently.
It was slightly ridiculous how Xi Ying had said to her a few days ago that he wanted to run away from here with her and their son. They could lead a very good life without having to face anyone.
