Chapter 308: Li Rui Finally Opens Up To Xi Ying

Xi Ying stared at his calm and composed wife with a serious face.

He wondered whether it was her own thoughts or if it was her father, General Li speaking to him through her.

"Do you really want that?"

He questioned Li Rui seriously.

After a moment of hesitation, he held Li Rui's hand and caress it lightly with his thumb. 

"For a moment, forget everything. Forget that you saw me that night with Princess Wenling. Forget what you heard the princess says. And now try to think will you really want me to abandon my plan to dethrone the current Emperor who wants to destroy Li Clan. Do you really wish to live with this constant fear that something will happen to your clan if you or General Li doesn't remain careful with your each and every step?"

Li Rui seemed to be in a daze as she silently heard everything that Xi Ying said to her.

"No"

She whispered lightly a few moments later.

"I also don't like to be scared."
