Chapter 374 - Being The One In Power



It was not Li Rui\'s first time stepping inside Xi Ying\'s study room so she was not surprised to see the spacious study room.

She was more surprised to see six shadow guards who were gathered there.

It was not Li Rui\'s first time to see them. She had seen them before when she and Xi Ying were stuck inside the forest, however at that time they had their faces covered completely.

So it was actually her first time to see them.

All dressed in black with their faces uncovered, Xi Ying\'s shadow guards were also surprised to see Li Rui there.

However, they didn\'t take long to hide their surprise and kneel down on the ground.

"This servant greets My Lord and My Lady."

The greetings in a single chorus echoed inside the study room. Their voices were neither too loud nor too low.? It was deep and presented the strength that their bodies held.

Xi Ying\'s eyes flickered with confusion and surprise when he saw Li Rui looking at his shadow guards so curiously.

However, he didn\'t interrupt her. With his hand that was still on her wrist, he just pulled her towards the chair he usually sat on.

"Come here."

He said to Li Rui who finally came out of her trance and looked towards him.

However, seeing the chair Xi Ying was pointing to she was again a little dazed and confused.

Xi Ying sighed and shook his head lightly seeing this. He left her wrist and put an arm around her shoulders.

Steeping forward slowly, he explained to her gently as his warm breath fell on Li Rui\'s cheek.

"It is not good for you to stand for too long in this state."

"Oh…"

Li Rui whispered stupidly.

Still, when she was so close to the chair, she couldn\'t help but think.

Was it right for her to sit here? It was where he usually sat as the master of those shadow guards and Xi Manor.

However, these thoughts only stayed inside her heart. Even before she could let them out, Xi Ying had already pushed her shoulders down gently and made her sit on the chair.

As she looked at the front at the kneeling shadow guards, Li Rui didn\'t know what exactly she should say or think.

This feeling …it was a little overwhelming to Li Rui.

She was the owner of many shops or restaurants. She even had a few servants and shadow guards who worked under her, however, she had never felt this feeling.

Perhaps it was because, in a corner of her heart, she always knew that everything of that was built and made by Yi Junjie. Because she could not even step out of Li Manor so how could she hire those people or buy places that needed to be bought for those businesses.

To stay safe and she and Yi Junjie never even met those people who worked for them except for a few. Even if sometimes there really came a need to see those people, it would always be Yi Junjie who would go and see them.

Hence she had never experienced this feeling of being one in the power.

It made her feel as if she had the responsibility on her shoulders that she didn\'t deserve.

The overwhelming feeling made Li Rui stand up from the chair. However before she could do so, her shoulders were held firmly by a hand.

The familiar manly scent invaded her senses and deep black eyes came into her view again.

"It\'s fine. You will be fine after a few moments."

The gentle voice filled with all the trust and affection suddenly made her restless heart calm down.

As Xi Ying pushed her down to sit back on the chair, he whispered in an assuring voice

"I had felt the same when I had sat on this chair for the first time ….after my Father\'s death."

Li Rui was surprised when she heard this.

In her eyes, Xi Ying had always been so strong and dignified that for a moment she couldn\'t even imagine that he would have felt afraid when he had taken the responsibility of Xi Clan in his hands after his father\'s death.

No… actually, there have been times when she had seen him vulnerable but perhaps she didn\'t believe that he was actually vulnerable.

In the end, he was also a human being just like her. A human being who can\'t fall weak for the sake of his clan and his people.

But now she wished to believe him wholeheartedly.

Her eyes softened when she saw Xi Ying holding her hand. Their hands held each other and they were placed on the armrest of the chair as Xi Ying stood beside her.

"Rise."

Xi Ying\'s deep voice sounded through the silent study room and all the shadow guards instantly rose from the ground.

Xi Ying had trained these shadow guards by himself so how could he not know how curious they must be inside their hearts to know why Li Rui was suddenly here.

"From today on, Madam Xi will hold the equal place as me for all of you. It is your duty to protect, respect, and obey her. In my absence from this Manor, she has the complete right to order you regarding anything or even change my orders."

The shadow guards were left completely shocked at the end of Xi Ying\'s words.

The words that Xi Ying had just said indirectly meant that now they had two Masters to serve and obey and the second Master was none other than Lady Li.

However, regardless of how shocked they were, the shadow guards knew better what they should do at this moment.

All of them kneeled down on the ground and swore on staying loyal to Li Rui…the same way they had sworn once towards their Master Xi Ying.
