His Rui

Xi Ying himself was startled after he finished asking his question.

He didn't even know why but he suddenly looked forward to the answer. Li Rui was such a special woman. How could it be that no one before him tried to pursue her or ever confessed to her!

On the other hand, Li Rui was equally startled by this kind of question.

She looked at Xi Ying doubting that he was still doubting her for whatever he saw in the room just a few minutes ago.

However, when she saw the genuine curiousness on Xi Ying's face she knew that it was not the matter.

She leaned against the headrest of the bed and sighed lightly. Her eyes stayed on Xi Ying who was suddenly starting to feel that he seemed to have asked a wrong question.

Xi Ying was about to accept his mistake when he heard the footsteps and knew that Liu Lan must be there with the old physician so he stood up from the bed …obviously trying to avoid the change of the situation that had been created by him.

Li Rui who looked at her husband's back couldn't help but smile lightly.

She never knew that Xi Ying could also behave like this …as if a child was trying to save himself from some punishment. She was not that scary, right?

"What happened…what happened?"

The old physician seemed to be more anxious than anyone else as he ran inside the room with a cloth bag that was hanging on his shoulder.

Xi Ying and Li Rui watched as he stepped inside the room hurriedly and then looked around the room only to have his eyes fixed on the bed.

"Girl, are you alright?"

The old physician asked anxiously as he started to walk towards the bed. Xi Ying raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had not expected the old physician to worry so much about his wife and child.

Sitting on the bed, Li Rui smiled calmly only to get scolded by the old physician.

"Girl, this old man tells you that if you are in pain there is no need to smile forcefully."

The old physician said firmly as his eyes started to look at Li Rui's face to see any signs of injury or sickness on her face. In these few days, the old physician had started to understand Li Rui little by little.

He also understood how capable Li Rui must be to have a man like Xi Ying to love her so much.

"Girl, what happened?"

The old physician asked in confusion when he couldn't find what exactly was wrong with Li Rui. At the same time, Liu Lan stepped inside the room. She was panting heavily but nonetheless, she called out to Xi Ying when she saw him

"My Lord…"

However, she suddenly paused amidst her words and her eyes flashed with relief when she saw the old physician standing near the bed.

A few moments later, she shook her head.

Liu Lan had just run inside the old physician's room who was sleeping on his bed. She shook him awake and had uttered just a few words 'Madam needs you'…when the old physician stood up from the bed and ran out of the room like lightning with his bag that was lying on the bedside table.

She had thought that the old physician was trying to run away from Xi Manor again and that's why she came here to inform Xi Ying. However, she had not expected the old physician to be here only …tending to her Madam.

"She almost fell down. She has pain in her leg."

Xi Ying told the old physician as a deep frown marred his forehead.

He walked back to the bed and then sat near Li Rui's feet.

The old physician also frowned and walked to the other side of the bed.

"Girl, this is not good. You should take care of yourself. You are not alone now. There is a child in your belly as well."

The old physician reprimanded Li Rui as he looked at Li Rui's feet that were now being uncovered by Xi Ying.

On the other hand, Xi Ying looked at him with narrowed eyes as he wondered with what right the old physician was scolding his wife.

"Should you call some old Momo?"

The old physician asked Xi Ying when he suddenly remembered that in noble families, the woman didn't show their feet to others.

However, Xi Ying shook his head and said

"No! You check it and give her some good medicine. Treat her as soon as possible."

The old physician sighed in relief. It seems that his wife's health mattered more to Xi Ying than any other customs in these noble families.

The old physician thought right. Xi Ying indeed worried more about Li Rui's health than all these stupid customs.

He would know if the old physician would have even a slight bad intent in his heart and he would not hesitate to kill the old physician then and there.

Right now, reducing Li Rui's pain and ensuring that their child was fine was more important.

The old physician forwarded his hand and touched Li Rui's feet slightly.

"It seems that she twisted her foot. The flesh cracked from inside. Don't worry. It will heal in a few days. I will make an ointment. Until then, it will be better not to put weight on this foot."

Xi Ying nodded his head and his heart was filled with relief.

The old physician left the room to make the ointment.

"Go and bring something to eat for Madam."

Xi Ying said to Liu Lan who looked hesitant and then asked Xi Ying

"My Lord, this servant stopped Young Master outside. Should this servant let Young Master inside the room?"

Xi Ying sighed and nodded his head while Liu Lan sighed in relief.

Liu Lan had just stepped out of the room when Xi Ling came running inside the room. The small bun walked towards the bed with his short leg. His eyes were still wide with shock but now there was a little pout on his lips.

"Mother….how is Mother now?"

"Mother is alright now. Xiao Ling doesn't need to worry."

Li Rui said to her son and patted his head slightly.

Xi Ling looked relieved but then his eyes went to look at his father and he looked back at his mother with the small pout present on his lips.

His big black eyes were filled with tears as if he had been wronged.

Li Rui couldn't help but worry when she saw this.

"What happened, Xiao Ling?"

Li Rui said as she raised her hand to wipe his son's teary eyes. However, Xi Ling held her hand and said with teary eyes.

"Mother, why is it that Father can enter Mother's room whenever he wants but Xi Ling is always stopped outside at such moments?"
