His Rui-Chapter 639 Was Gu Li Angry At Rui?

Xi Ying had to pull away from Li Rui when he heard the sound of the throat being cleared.

He looked towards the door coldly and saw the shadow guards from Youxio standing there. Li Rui took another step back from him and walked towards them making him follow her with a frown.

When the young prime minister could feel envious of his own son sometimes because he attracted too much attention of his wife then what were these shadow guards from Youxio.

"Senior Brother, the meal must be ready by now. Let's go."

Li Rui said to Gu Li. All this while there was a soft and small smile on her lips that made Xi Ying understand that she was undoubtedly happy to see Gu Li and his people again.

She must be.

Xi Ying tried to put himself in place of his wife. Anyone would be happy to see the person who had though was a small part of his life but still taught them something that they could use for their whole life.

So he didn't behave rudely with them though he didn't like them because of what he has heard about their organization.

Youxio was a very good organization a few years ago. The shadow guards from their organization killed the officials who were corrupted and then distributed large sum of money from those officials amongst the poor people of the villages.

However, in the past few years, they have been ruthless to kill anyone they would get the money for. It was a crime in Xi Ying's eyes because many of them were innocent.

He was sure that Li Rui didn't know any of this. In fact, he doubted if she knew what actually Youxio was. Everything she told him about this senior brother of hers, he understood that she didn't know what kind of work he and his organization does.

Silently, he walked with Li Rui towards the dining room while Gu Li and his shadow guards followed them.

"Xia…Ah apologies. Lady Li…the food is delicious."

One of the shadow guards who knew Mi Luan from years ago said to Li Rui.

Li Rui smiled and looked at Gu Li who had not picked the chopsticks to eat.

"Senior Brother, why are you not having anything?"

Gu Li looked at Li Rui silently for a few moments before he opened his mouth to ask her the question that had been gnawing his heart and mind from the moment he had come to know that she was Mi Luan.

Why did you never tell me that you are a girl? That was what he had wanted to ask.

However, he didn't know why the words that left his mouth were

"You are with child."

He said as he looked towards her stomach.

He himself didn't notice how his eyes didn't look cold when he looked at Li Rui's stomach. They were soft filled with curiousness as well as a little fear as he looked at the bloated stomach. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Li Rui blinked when she saw Gu Li's eyes.

"Yes, I am."

She answered calmly.

Gu Li nodded his head rather stiffly.

It was not that he had never seen a pregnant woman before. But the thought of Mi Luan being pregnant whom he had thought of as his young brother made him feel a little awkward.

Xi Ying didn't like the way the leader of Youxio was looking at his wife. His deep black eyes were filled with coldness and indifference as he looked at him.

On the other hand, when Li Rui saw him looking at herself silently, she asked him

"Senior Brother, are you angry at Rui?"

Gu Li blinked suddenly coming out of a trance and his eyes went blank at the question.

Was he angry at her?

It was surprising that he was not as uncomfortable or angry as he thought he should have been after coming to know that Mi Luan hid such a big thing from him.

Somehow he had an inkling after whatever happened in the past few days that why he didn't tell him about this.

Combined with this, he might have heard Li Rui telling the young prime minister all those things. It was at that time he felt angry as well as relieved.

Relieved that she knew how to protect herself and angry that at such a young age, those people made her dirty her hands with blood.

She was a woman, a young girl at that time.

He could only imagine how she went through all those things. Gu Li felt his chest becoming very stuffy suddenly as he looked at Li Rui's clean black eyes.

When he didn't answer her question, Li Rui licked her lips lightly.

Xi Ying who noticed her action sighed in annoyance. He knew that she did it whenever she felt nervous. But she didn't need to be nervous in front of these people.

He didn't dare to say those words as he was clear about the importance of these people in his wife's eyes. So he silently held her hand under the table hoping to comfort her somehow.

"When I first met you, I had not thought that I was going to stay there for the large period of the time that I had demanded from my father. So I told you the same name I had been living in the village with Shifu."

Gu Li didn't respond to those words.

He merely looked at Li Rui for a few moments before he finally asked her

"You could have at least told me that you are …not a boy."

Now that Gu Li remembered that he slept with this young girl in the same tent, he thought how it could have harmed her reputation to a great extent.

Though she was very young, though he never had such intentions, people would never look at all these aspects. They would just open their mouths and spat rubbish.

It was a good thing that no one knew that she was associated with them.

He looked at Xi Ying. Fortunately, the young prime minister didn't seem to mind this small thing. If he had, then Gu Li wondered what he would have done.

He thought as his eyes went cold.

He would have surely done his best to separate Li Rui from this husband of hers in that case. She would never deserve to be with such a man.

Gu Li focused his attention back on Li Rui when he heard her say

"I couldn't."
