章 231: Why Can't You Trust Me?

Sitting at the edge of the bed, Xi Ying looked at the peacefully sleeping Li Rui.

On the other side of the bed, he found Li Hua sleeping while leaning her head against the bed. Her hand rested near her mistress' hand. 

Li Hua's words suddenly flashed in his mind. Every single word said by the maid describing how her mistress had suffered in the last four years was fresh in his memory.

Xi Ying blamed himself for not giving Li Rui what she had deserved in those four years…for not completing the promises had made while taking her on the night of four years ago.

However, he suddenly was unable to find a way of redeeming himself.

'Will Li Rui be ever able to trust him…blindly just like he trusts her?' thought Xi Ying.

 At this point, his concern was not for winning her heart but her trust. 

'How can I win you?'

He whispered… eyes laced with intense love as his hand moved forward to touch Li Rui's face.
