Chapter 166: Resign

The gentle whispers somewhat made Li Rui's heart relax. She didn't feel any shyness in accepting her husband's hug this time.

Perhaps she really needed this warmth or perhaps she needed a place where she could hide so that the others would not be able to see her vulnerable self. 

In the large banquet hall, everyone saw Lord Xi who always looked so cold and indifferent embracing his wangfei gently without any hesitation.

He seemed to touch her so carefully as if she was made of glass.

His robe and body hid the small petite body in his arms completely.

Princess Wenling who had been standing quietly all the while when Li Rui and her mother confronted each other looked at this scene with red eyes.

Why was everything happening to her like this? She has loved only one man in her life. She wants nothing but his love in return.

But getting love was very far away, she has to see him embracing some other woman.
