His Rui-Chapter 637 Reunion

After the old physician had left, the room gained its previous silence. Xi Ying looked at his wife.

His deep black eyes flashed with pampering and doting love when he saw her red ears. Was she feeling embarrassed or shy because of the old physician's words?

Xi Ying smiled deeply as he wounded his arms around his wife's waist and said

"You must be tired. Do you want to sit?"

He could feel Gu Li's gaze on himself all this while.

However, Li Rui shook her head and looked at Gu Li again.

She walked forward making Xi Ying take his arm back and he saw her cutting the ropes that tied Gu Li with her dagger.

Xi Ying's eyes flashed immediately and he looked at Gu Li warily.

Though the man didn't seem to have any dangerous intent at this moment, he couldn't let his guards down. He didn't want his wife to free him but he also wanted to show his trust on her.

She must be doing this because she had her own thoughts.

"Senior Brother…"

Li Rui freed him and called out.

"You have not eaten anything in the past few days, right? And …"

Li Rui paused amidst her words and suddenly looked a little embarrassed to continue

"You might be having bruises on your body."

"It's alright."

Gu Li, who was still in a daze despite his calm face, said stiffly.

The shadow guard who saw that their leader was free now said to Li Rui.

"Little Luan…ah I mean Lady Li, can you free us as well?"

Li Rui immediately nodded her head. However, Xi Ying didn't let her cut their ropes on her own. He signed An Ju to do that.

"Remove your masks."

Gu Li said suddenly surprising his three shadow guards.

"But Master…"

One of them tried to say something but stopped when he saw Gu Li's eyes on himself. So they removed their masks one by one with the help of the oil An Ju had brought.

Gu Li glanced at Xi Ying who was already looking at Him.

Xi Ying knew that Gu Li did this because he was aware of his doubts on him and his people and it indeed reduced his doubts to some extent on seeing that the latter was trying to do such a thing.

"Xiao Luan, can we have something to eat? I am dying with hunger."

The shadow guard who never showed their weak side until now finally expressed it when they knew that it was someone familiar in front of them.

Li Rui nodded her head calmly and immediately asked An Ju to go and ask Li Hua and Liu Lan to make arrangements.

An Ju was confused. She didn't understand why her master was letting Lady Li treat these shadow guards with so much respect when they had tried to kill her!

For them, she felt nothing but anger and ruthlessness.

But she knew better than to question her master's decisions and do whatever was asked. So she left the room to do what Li Rui had asked her to do.

On the other hand, the shadow guards looked at Li Rui and sighed in their hearts seeing her calm and collected composure.

They could really see the little bit of Xiao Luan inside him now.

"Xiao Luan."

Li Rui looked at the other shadow guard who just spoke to her.

"Brother Rong Ting."

Li Rui smiled lightly when she recognized the shadow guard who used to have a very serious face around her.

He still had the same kind of face but she could feel the familiarity when he asked her without any hesitation.

"Can I take a bath somewhere?"

The other shadow guards shook their heads hearing Rong Ting's question. If a person's first demand is hunger then Rong Ting's would be bath.

His obsession with cleanliness…they have never been able to understand.

However, Li Rui who knew about this already immediately nodded her head and said

"Yes, Senior Brother. I …"

"I will show them."

Xi Ying interrupted his wife and said gently.

Li Rui didn't find any problem in this and nodded her head.

So Xi Ying looked at the four other men inside the room and said

"Let's go."

Gu Li understood that he wanted all of them to leave so he stepped forward and signed his shadow guards to follow. They did as he said thought they wanted to devour some delicious meal first.

Outside the room, Xi Ying stopped suddenly and stood beside Gu Li.

"Though I don't know what kind of past you have with my wife, it will be better for you as well as your organization if you would not try to take advantage of the current situation and harm my family."

Xi Ying said very coldly.

The three shadow guards standing behind Gu Li were very angry by Xi Ying's attitude but Gu Li didn't show any anger. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

His eyes were calm as he nodded his head and said

"I understand. I never knew that he…she is Mi Luan. If I had then I and my people would have killed that Emperor by now."

His eyes were deathly cold as he said these words making Xi Ying raise his eyebrows in surprise. It only made him more curious about the past he had with his wife.

He nodded his head and continued walking ahead followed by Gu Li and his shadow guards who understood instantly that their master was calm only because this matter concerned Mi Luan.

Xi Ying asked An Shing and An Su to guard the room where Youxio's shadow guards were bathing while he went back to his wife only to find her giving Liu Lan some instructions about the meal that those Youxio shadow guards were going to have.

He sighed as he again felt that strange but familiar feeling building up inside his chest…the feeling when he would see her over concerned about someone else other than himself.

He suppressed the urge to pull her away from there and walked towards her with a calm face.

"You can go."

Li Rui said to Liu Lan when she saw him standing beside her.

And as soon as Liu Lan left, he couldn't stop himself from blurting out.

"They seem quite close to you."

Xi Ying was surprised. He had never been the person who couldn't control himself but in front of her, he would always get surprised by himself.

"I didn't mean it that way…"

He tried to explain when he thought how his words sounded so wrong to his own ears. He just wanted her to share with him how she knew the shadow guards from Youxio.

But Li Rui looked calm. She couldn't help but remember what Xi Ying said to her a few nights ago.

'Keep your eyes on me and don't look at anyone else…'

She somehow could see that Xi Ying again. The remembrance of that night did something in her stomach and she cleared her throat to shake away her weird thoughts.

"I know them when I had left Imperial City for one and a half month at the age of nine."
