His Rui Chapter 580 A Meal With General Li

Chapter 580 A Meal With General Li Li Rui's eyes were filled with confusion after she woke up.
"Are you alright, Rui? Where does it pain?"
Xi Ying was worried. He thought that because they did 'it' during Li Rui's pregnancy then it might have hurt her.
However, Li Rui looked more confused at his question and asked him.
"Why are you asking this?"
"You were frowning just now …in your sleep…as if you were in a lot of pain…"
"Ohhh"
Li Rui whispered as she remembered her dream from last night unconsciously. But looking at Xii Ying's concern filled eyes, she didn't wish to tell him anything and said calmly.
"It might be some dream but I don't remember anything."
Xi Ying couldn't help but hug his wife when he heard this.
"It is better to forget such dreams then."
He whispered as he kissed her hair.
After that, he didn't mention the dream again worrying that she would remember it. Xi Ying didn't doubt Li Rui at all because, in his eyes, there were many events in her life that could give her scary dreams.
Especially when he knew that she still sometimes dreams of Li Zhan dying in the Imperial Palace.
It hurt him. He wished that he could take away all that pain and painful memories from her…if only that was possible.
"You need to eat something."
Xi Ying whispered gently as he helped Li Rui in getting up from the bed. Li Rui suddenly realized that she was not wearing the clothes and covered herself with the blanket as she sat up.
She immediately started to burn her cheeks and she looked at Xi Ying as she tried to say as calmly as he could.
"You go. I will come out after getting dressed."
However, Xi Ying refused to leave her alone. Perhaps it was the fear of losing her after hearing whatever happened during his absence yesterday in Xi Manor that Xi Ying no longer wished to leave Li Rui alone.
"No, I will help you."
He said persistently.
Li Rui's eyes widened. Before this, Xi Ying had never tried to persist whenever she had asked him to leave alone.
But then again, they had done it only once after their marriage.
Li Rui still wanted to refuse but she didn't even get the chance.
In a blink of an eye, the blanket was removed from her body.
Though she didn't feel cold as the room was warm because of the charcoals, she still felt very embarrassed.
But Li Rui was the kind of woman who always preferred to hide her embarrassment, especially in front of her husband.
As if she seemed to understand that if she still refused, he would see through her, she stayed silent regardless of how embarrassed and shy she was feeling and let him dress her.
Xi Ying didn't dare to rest his eyes on Li Rui's body for a long time fearing that he would feel changes in his body again.
He quickly helped her in wearing the dress and then made her climb down from the bed. After that, he put a thick robe over her body.
Li Rui looked at her completely covered body and felt a little helpless.
As if understanding the expression on her face, Xi Ying said calmly.
"It is cold outside."
After that, without any other word, Xi Ying put his arm around his wife's waist and stepped out of the room.
The weather was indeed colder today.
Li Rui realized when a sharp cold win suddenly hit her cheek. The wind alone made her cheeks hurt. Seeing the opened window in the courtyard from where the wind was coming from, Xi Ying frowned while Li Hua immediately went to close the window.
Xi Ying put his warm hands on Li Rui's cold cheek.
Only after he felt that her temperature was alright, did he start to walk towards the dining room.
However, his mood soured a little when he saw two people sitting in the dining room already as soon as he stepped inside the dining room.
As if sensing the young prime minister's presence, General Li turned around to look towards the door. His one hand was still around his wife's waist which was covered with thick clothes just like Li Rui.
At one glance, he could sense that Xi Ying was not much happy because of his and his wife's presence. However, General Li didn't feel offended at all when he saw this. Instead, he felt that he did a very right thing and hence he grinned widely as he greeted Xi Ying
"Prime Minister Xi."
Since his wife was also present here, Xi Ying could also not insult General Li and greeted him with gritted teeth.
"General Li!"
However, as soon as he finished his greeting, he asked immediately.
"What is General Li doing here with Madam Li? Second Madam Li is still recovering from her health. General Li did a very wrong thing by letting her get out of bed in such a situation."
As soon as he finished saying his words, Xi Ying called his hands. Soon, Liu Lan who was standing outside the door stepped inside the room and Xi Ying asked her to send the meal to the room where Yi Jie was staying.
However, General Li merely smiled sensing Xi Ying's generous intentions, and said sweetly
"There is no need to bother so much, Prime Minister Xi."
After saying these words, General Li looked at his daughter instead of Xi Ying and said
"Rui, your mother wanted to have a meal with you and I couldn't refuse her. There should not be any need to worry, right? I didn't let her even walk….carried her all the way here."
Li Rui's face was very calm as she said
"Yes, Father, There should be no problem."
Xi Ying glared at General Li knowing very well that he was silencing him using his daughter who was his wife.
However, he also knew that he didn't have the luxury of having a meal with his wife alone right now. Frustrated, he could only walk towards the chairs silently with Li Rui.
General Li grinned more widely on seeing Xi Ying's eyes that were full of annoyance and frustration.
He had an inclination that he was really going to enjoy this meal.
