His Rui

Chapter 241 - Yi Junjie Does Not Want His Sister To Suffer Anymore

"Huiqing, Elder Brother has already everything last night when you were talking with him."

Yi Junjie gritted his teeth in anger while mentioning Zhao Zhang Wei's name. His words, his eyes didn't have any respect for Zhao Zhang Wei.

The declaration made Yi Huiqing's eyes wide again with shock but Yi Junjie didn't seem to be affected by her shocked eyes at all.

He didn't feel any regret that he invaded his sister's privacy.

In fact, now Yi Junjie thought that it was good that last night, he jumped inside the second Prince's Courtyard to hide.

Because he hadn't then how he would have come to know of such a deep secret.

He suddenly closed his eyes in pain as he remembered hearing the pain in his sister's voice.

Yi Junjie suddenly felt that he had failed everyone in his life.

First his parents…he lost them in the hands of some cruel and greedy bandits. Then the woman he loved…he lost her in the hands of the man who gave her nothing but pain and more suffering. And now his younger sister…

"Huiqing, when I had called you Miemie that one time, I had accepted you as my younger sister. "

A tear fell out of Yi Huiqing's eyes at the memory.

She remembered pushing her cold Elder Brother when her father had brought him to Yi Manor. He would always remain silent and look at her coldly when she would try to talk to him.

She, however, ignored everything and stuck to Yi Junjie's side whenever she could.

How could she not?

She had always wanted an Elder Brother and Yi Junjie was her Elder Brother she had gotten after so many prayers. No matter how cold and emotionless he was, she had to make sure to let him know that she would always be his younger sister.

It was after her two years of hard work that she finally had heard Yi Junjie calling him Meimei.

He had only called her Miemie once but his changed attitude after that day made her understand that her Elder Brother had finally accepted her in her life.

Those days were the sweetest in Yi Huiqing's life.

A protective Elder Brother, a sweet and innocent younger brother, father, mother, grandmother, and her sweet and loving grandfather? … she had everyone in her family.

Her life was so full and sweet.

Unfortunately, they didn't last.

"… Why didn't you tell anything to Elder Brother, Huiqing? Is it that in your heart I am your brother only by name?"

whispered Yi Junjie and Yi Huiqing came out of his trance.

Yi Huiqing's eyes were filled with fear as she saw her brother's eyes filled with pain.

She suddenly seemed to have remembered the day where she and Rui had seen him sitting on the grave of his parents.

Both of them had kneeled in front of his parent's grave with him until the next morning.

At that time, he was this silent, lost, and in so much pain.

But he never cried. She had never seen her Elder Brother shedding tears.

It had taken Yi Huiqing a long time to understand that he never showed it. But somehow she and Rui could always feel his pain.

"No, Elder Brother…please don't say such words. Elder Brother will always remain my Elder Brother in my heart. The place of Elder Brother had never changed since the day Father had told me that you are my Elder Brother."

"Then, why didn't you tell me anything?"

Yi Huiqing could only answer this question with her silence.

As she thought of something with the help of which she could avoid talking on this matter…she heard Yi Junjie saying again

"I will kill that b****d. How dare he do that to you?"

whispered Yi Junjie coldly.

The next moment, he felt his sleeve being grabbed and he saw Yi Huiqing standing close to him.

"Elder Brother, please don't do anything in anger. Huiqing requests you…please."

Yi Junjie sighed as he saw his sister's tear-filled eyes and looked away. To divert Yi Huiqing's attention from his said words, he asked her

"How did you come to know about this?"

Yi Junjie knew that it must have been very difficult for his sister to come to know about this matter if the prince himself wanted this matter to be kept hidden from her ears and eyes.

Yi Huiqing was afraid to anger her brother more so she immediately answered him

"Rui told me…when she visited me last time."

However, Yi Huiqing soon realized that in her attempts of calming down her brother's anger she had unintentionally given it more air to breathe.

"Rui knew all of this?"

Yi Junjie asked with an incredulous expression on his face.

It was actually reasonable for him to feel surprised. Because from the time Yi Junjie could remember, both of them had supported each other to save Li and Yi Clan, Li Rui had never hidden anything from him.

This was the first time Yi Junjie came to know of something from anyone else that Li Rui already knew.

As if Yi Huiwing knew what her brother was thinking she said immediately

"Elder Brother, Rui is not at fault. I have taken a promise from her that she would never tell anyone anything."

The hurt inside Yi Junjie's heart lessened a bit with these words but he still couldn't help but feel that everything seemed to have changed a little bit.

The feeling was the same as he had felt when Xi Ying had threatened him to remove his people from Plum Courtyard.

And Yi Junjie disliked this change and feeling very much.

He suppressed the thoughts inside his heart forcefully and glanced at his sister who seemed to have changed so much from before.

But the change was not good.

She had learned to hide her pain and despair and he would never want her to do that. He would never want Yi Huiqing to become another Li Rui.

So Yi Huiqing asked the question that he could never ask Li Rui.

"Huiqing, do you like living here?"

He didn't need any answer when he saw a bitter smile on his sister's lips.

"It doesn't matter whether I like it or not. I don't have any choice."

Yi Huiqing whispered.

It was after a very long time she had been able to say these words to someone.

Since her Elder Brother already knew everything then she could at least lighten her heart by sharing these small things with him.

Yi Junjie's next words, however, shocked Yi Huiqing to the core.

"Then, divorce him."
