The Unshed Tears

"You will not ask me about your Father?"

Xi Ying asked Li Rui to divert her mind somewhere else and he was successful because Li Rui's whole attention was on him as she waited for him to say something with a bated breath.

He signed the maid to take Xi Ling away from Li Rui and enjoyed her whole attention on himself during this whole while.

When the maid went away, he couldn't bear to let her wait anymore and told her with a smile.

"General Li, Commander Li, and Soldier Yi Lei are safe now and back to the Li Manor."

Li Rui's face didn't change even a bit for a while as she registered his words in her mind.

"Father is alright…"

She whispered.

A few days back, she got a letter from Yi Junjie telling her that the shadow guards he had sent could find nothing. Her heart was shaken with fear since that day but she decided to wait for the man who had told her to trust him.
