His Rui

Chapter 650 The Insecure Xi Ying

　　"Ying…"

　　Xi Ying was surprised. His whole body was completely still as he felt the soft frame of his wife clinging to his back. However, his hand hands still didn\'t forget to hold her hands that were around his waist. 

　　He held them so gently as if he had never been angry on her. 

　　Actually he waas never angry at her. He didn\'t even know who he was angry at. He just didn\'t like when his wife\'s hands touched someone else other than him. 

　　"They are just a people for me whom I need to treat."

　　Li Rui said softly as she rested her head on his solid back. 

　　If it had been someone else then perhaps she would have never bothered to explain all these. However, it was Xi Ying, her husband. 

　　When in the past few months, he had been putting so much efforts into their relationship then she was also ought to do her part. 

　　She knew that it was not that he didn\'t trust her. He just felt uncomfortable and she wanted him to know that there was never any need to feel uncomfortable in this. 

　　She tried to pull back his hands and hence Xi Ying had to leave her hands reluctantly. However, when she came to stand in front of him again, he held them again. She didn\'t know perhaps but he was touched. 

　　He was touched that she was not angry at him…that she didn\'t stop talking to him. Instead, here she was trying to explain everything to him. 

　　His discomfort had reduced to a large extent because of her this small gesture only. 

　　When she spoke again, Xi Ying listened inetntly.

　　"Don\'t you practice shooting arrows sometimes?"

　　Xi Ying nodded his head feeling curious what she was going to say. 

　　Li Rui smiled softly as she continued.

　　"The middle of that circular wooden board is always your target, right?"

　　When Xi Ying nodded his head, Li Rui continued. 

　　"Just like that, when I am treating someone, my only target is to bring back them to their health. Every physician is like this. For him or her, a patient\'s gender never matter. Whether it is a female or male, for a physician, it is just a patient that he needs to treat with all the knowledge he or she possess."

　　As if thinking that it was not enough, Li Rui continued 

　　"You must have trained An Ju as well and she was a female."

　　Xi Ying raised his eyebrows never expecting his wife to think of this thing. At the same time, he looked thoughtful as she continued 

　　"When you tarined her, what was she to you? A girl or merely a shadow guard?"

　　"An untrained martial artist"

　　Xi Ying answered without any hesitation. Yes, he had trained An Ju on his own. Everything…swordsmanship, arrow shooting, martial arts…everything he taught to his shadow guards on his own. 

　　Li Rui smile didn\'t waver as she said 

　　"See…that is the same with me."

　　Xi Ying nodded his head as he looked at his wife\'s face with intense eyes. A moment later, he suddenly leaned down and kissed her lips. 

　　Keeping her chin between his fingers, he spoke as he looked at her surprise filled eyes and then how her cheeks slowly covered with a shade of red that he liked very much to see on her.

　　His eyes never left hers as he spoke in a deep voice.

　　"What should I do if my wife is so intelligent?"

　　His fingers caressed her red cheeks as he continued with a smile on his lips

　　"Tell me, am I in danger? Because even if you said that you want my life then I shall give that to you happily."

　　Li Rui\'s eyes widened and she blinked rapidly, suddenly not knowing what she should say in response to those words. 

　　Xi Ying chuckled. 

　　He hugged her in his arms tightly but gently. 

　　His lips had wide smile. He no longer felt uncomfortable at the thought of her treating the old master. 

　　She didn\'t even know how secure she made him feel with those words. 

　　They were just patients for her. 

　　He had been just insecure. 

　　Even if in the future, she treated any other man, she would never fall in love with someone else other than him, right? 

　　Because they were merely his patients. 

　　Somewhere he wanted to limit her contact with any other man because she didn\'t love him …yet. He was afraid that  before he would be able ti win her heart someone else would do it without even him knowing. 

　　She was allowed to fall in love with him only. 

　　After all, they were husband and wife. 

　　Even if she loved him even a percent of how much he loved her, he would be at cloud nine but at this moment, he relished that fact that she cared for him. 

　　Otherwise she would have never bothered to free him of his discomfort.

　　"Mother, Can I go with Uncle to watch the valley?"

　　Xi Ling ran to his mother leaving Li Huan\'s hand as soon as Li Rui stepped outside the tent with Xi Ying. 

　　Xi Ying followed his son\'s finger and saw that the uncle from his words was no other than Gu Li. 

　　He looked at Li Rui knowing that she would agree. And sure enough, she nodded her head but afterward, she said 

　　"Xiao Ling should ask his father as well."

　　Xi Ling looked at his mother with his big black eyes and then immediately nodded his head. For the small bun, whatever his mother was the eternal truth. 

　　So he looked at his father and asked politely.

　　"Father, Can Xi Ling go to watch the valley with Uncle Gu Li?"

　　Now Xi Ying was put into a tight spot. He knew that if he refused, then he would be declaring indirectly that he didn\'t trust Gi Li and his people yet. 

　　And perhaps his wife would feel hurt by this. However, this wariness was just in his nature. He couldn\'t put his wife\'s and son\'s life in danger at any cost. 

　　A moment later, he finally declared his decision.
