Xi Ying Leaves For The Imperial Palace

Li Rui tried to keep her expression composed. However, under Xi Ying's deep black eyes and continuous and intense gaze, she couldn't do so.

Her cheeks went red and she lowered down her head to pick the grapes from the bowl and to ignore the man who was looking at her with amusement-filled eyes.

"Will you help me?"

Xi Ying forwarded his winter robe to Li Rui that he was going to wear from above his clothes and asked gently.

Li Rui raised her head as she put a grape inside her mouth and chewed. There was still a small smile on his lips and she could easily see the mirth in his eyes. She frowned again and lowered her head without saying anything. 

Xi Ying's face had an incredulous expression. Somehow he seems to have understood that Li Rui didn't like that he was laughing at her. She had never minded before so he couldn't help but feel surprised.
