Bab 748: Coaxing Lord Xi

Xi Ying was startled by Li Rui's loud voice. 

He was sure that she had never spoken like this before…not only with him but with anyone else as well.

Even if she was angry, she would use cold words but would never lose her calm…so it was quite unusual. 

Perhaps she also seemed to realize this and closed her eyes with a heavy sigh as she rested her head against the carriage wall. 

When she opened her eyes again, she looked at Xi Ying with guilt-filled eyes and said softly

"Ying, Rui apolog…"

However, before she could complete her words, Xi Ying stood up from his seat and walked toward her. Picking her up from her seat, he had her in his lap and stroked her hair gently as he said 

"It's alright, You don't need to apologize. I can understand, Rui. It is because of the child."

He was never angry at her. He knew that women could feel irritated at such times. He had already read enough books about pregnant women to know that.
