His Rui

Chapter 669 “He Is My Husband”

The old master finished clearing Gu Li’s confusion who was finally shown the mirror of reality. Indeed, just because he knew that he couldn’t keep a girl in Youxio and he wanted to keep Mi Luan, he naturally assumed him to be a boy. 

At the same time, he suddenly remembered the night when Mi Luan had caught the fever and he had not let him remove his wet clothes. 

That night, it was the old master who had removed his clothes. Gu Li suddenly felt the picture in front of his eyes getting clearing, 

His master had always known everything and that’s why he had sent him out of the cave that night. He couldn’t help but shake his head at his own stupidity. 

Gu Li was still a little confused and he asked his master directly.

”You knew that she was a girl, and you still taught her …”

”So?”

The old master looked at his disciple with raised eyebrows as he asked him in amusement.

”Can’t a girl learn to protect herself? I saw that she wanted to learn so I taught her. A master liked a dedicated disciple regardless of his gender.”

At that, Gu Li couldn’t help but nod his head in agreement. 

Li Rui had indeed been very dedicated when she had started to learn. Throughout the period she learned, she never complained no matter how hard it had been. 

Gu Li nodded his head agreeing with his master’s words.   

On the other hand, Li Rui saw the old master looking by her side and she smiled as she held Xi Ying’s hand and said 

”Master, he is my husband.”

It was just a simple introduction. 

A very simple one. 

Xi Ying had never been introduced in such a way. Heck…no one ever needed to introduce him. Wherever he went, everyone already knew him or even if they didn’t, his aura would not let them ask him who he was. 

However, this simple yet innocent introduction gave Xi Ying the joy and satisfaction that he had perhaps never felt in his life. 

’He is my husband’

He couldn’t help but repeat his wife’s words inside his mind. 

His deep eyes were fixed on her face who was perhaps unaware of his heated gaze. 

’He is my husband’

The words repeated inside his mind and his grip on Li Rui’s hand tightened unconsciously. He couldn’t explain what he was feeling but he wanted to kiss her senseless then and there. 

He felt belonged. 

He was hers. 

It was only when Li Rui turned her head to look at him feeling his grip on her hand did Xi Ying come out of his thoughts. 

Xi Ying turned his head to look in the old master’s direction almost immediately as if he was afraid to let her see his thoughts. 

He saw the old master was already looking at him.

Xi Ying didn’t know what he should say. It took him a moment to open his mouth and say awkwardly 

”It is good to see you awake.”

The old master smiled in response to his words. However, his eyes staring at Xi Ying were a little thoughtful as if he was trying to guess just what kind of person he was.

However, his body didn’t have that much strength. 

Li Rui who saw this said immediately.

”Master should rest.”

Gu Li immediately agreed with Li Rui and soon they left the tent after the old master had closed his eyes to sleep again. 

After going inside the tent, Gu Li immediately asked Li Rui about the old master’s health who assured him that the latter was completely fine. 

Finally, Xi Ying dragged his wife back to their tent to rest. 

He was satisfied when he saw that Xi Ling was not alone. Though the small bun had been asleep An Ju was hiding inside the tent and he could feel it. 

An Ju would always leave them alone when he would see that her master was around but she would be there as soon as she would see any one of Li Rui or Xi Ling alone whenever he would need to go away suddenly. 

A few moments later, they were lying down on the bed on either side of Xi Ling. 

Li Rui had her eyes closed but Xi Ying couldn’t close his eyes. He was looking at her constantly as his ears rang with the words she had said inside the tent a few moments ago. 

He was not surprised when Li Rui suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him calmly. Instead, he smiled and said 

”What? Why did you open your eyes? Go to sleep.”

He whispered as if he was scolding a child. 

However, Li Rui frowned at him. 

How could she sleep when he was looking at her like that! 

Xi Ying could read from her expression what she was thinking. He chuckled and then suddenly held her hand that was placed on Xi Ling’s chest and whispered gently 

”Alright. I won’t disturb you any longer. Go to sleep.” 

However, Li Rui closed her eyes only after he had closed his.

Still, when Xi Ying heard her soft and eve breathing, he opened his eyes again. His deep black eyes rested on her face were soft and gentle. 

He kissed the hand he was holding very gently as he whispered 

”I am your husband.”

A childlike joy still filled his heart. 

Looking at her, he couldn’t help but wonder how did she make him feel his way.

The next morning, the old physician and other physicians were surprised when they came to know that the old master had woken up. 

Physician Ruan standing in the corner now had a thoughtful look on his face as he stroked his beard and looked at Li Rui who was having her breakfast. 

He had never expected that she was really that capable but now the truth was in front of his eyes and he couldn’t deny it. 

His eyes narrowed and throughout the breakfast, he stayed silent and glanced at Li Rui many times.

No one could guess what was going on inside his mind.
