Li Rui's hand that was stirring the black blood in the porcelain bowl stopped suddenly when she heard Xi Ying's words.
Her eyes flashed with surprise and she raised her head to look at him as she put down the bowl on the table placed in front of her.
Xi Ying looked very confident and sure in whatever he was saying.
"Why do you think so?"
She asked him with confusion-filled eyes. She had thought that she had hidden it very well. But she had never expected that Xi Ying would still catch her.
Xi Ying smiled lightly as he stepped forward and put his hand around his wife's waist.
He pulled her inside his arms.
Caressing her cheek with hun thumb lightly, he said with amusement flickering in his deep black eyes.
"Well...this Lord knows his wife enough to know that she would not look so calm and collective if something really happened to her loved ones."
