Chapter 41: Her Sweet Spot
Li Hua laid down on the chaise and turned to face Lóng Wei, who was on the bed. Though the candles and lanterns were extinguished, the lanterns’ light from outside peeked through the door gaps.
She was unable to sleep. So much happened in this short ti. She was unable to comprehend all this. Why did this happen, and what would happen ahead? She had to change Lóng Wei, but he was not the type to listen to anyone. Li Hua requested him to let go of the senior servant, but he didn’t hear her out.
“Is His Highness asleep?” She asked softly. Getting no response, she realized he had drifted off to sleep.
“What happened? Are you scared? We can share a bed if you want to,” Lóng Wei said with a smirk. Li Hua was dumbfounded to hear him. She pondered, why was the Sixth Prince so shaless?
“Answer,” Lóng Wei said.
“Does His Highness not feel anything while taking anyone’s life?” Her question made him snicker.
“What do you want to know exactly?” Lóng Wei queried her.
.....
“I already cleared my question to His Highness,” Li Hua answered.
“Umm... you can say that,” Lóng Wei gave a vague answer to her. “Are you scared of ?” His question perplexed Li Hua, who promptly refused.
“Li Hua, are you the only daughter and child in your family?” Lóng Wei asked her.
Li Hua decided to lie to him. Because he would ask more questions from her, and she might get trapped in that. “Yes, Your Highness,” she replied in her humble voice.
“When will you tell the truth to ?” The question this ti was straight. “You said your grandmother died, but you did not shed a single tear. I am surprised to see a person like ,” he remarked.
Li Hua gulped and wondered what she should say in that situation. Either she had to accept that she lied to him or she had to make another story.
“I am an orphan, Your Highness. I was taken in by an old lady a few months ago, so she beca my family. I am a servant, who needs to be emotionless most of the ti.” The story wasn’t false. Indeed, an old lady took her in after she left Xinshui town, but, she shortly passed away.
“Sotis I feel I don’t deserve to be happy,” Li Hua said and sighed.
“One’s happiness lies in him or her. Indeed, relationships matter, but not all the ti. Enjoy what you have. That way you will be happy,” Lóng Wei stated.
“I have nothing. I lost everything,” Li Hua said and tears fell from the edges of her eyes. She didn’t realize that she said sothing which she should not have. Lóng Wei squinted his eyes in suspicion but didn’t say anything.
“You have . The Son of Dragon! You have everything until you are with .” Lóng Wei didn’t want her to feel lonely. He reminded her that he would be her husband soon. They would beco each other’s families soon.
“You entered the palace without any preparation. The people who are close to you will betray you first. So, don’t trust anyone here because everyone wants to rise in rank,” Lóng Wei advised Li Hua, who agreed with his words, “especially the Crown Prince. A day will co when you have to save from him.”
Li Hua knitted her brows. What did he an by that? Why did she have to save him? He was already capable enough to get away from any punishnt.
“The Crown Prince helps everyone around him. He is the most humble person in the Kingdom. I think His Highness has so misunderstandings about the Crown Prince,” Li Hua defended Xiaoming.
Lóng Wei chuckled. “He is my half-brother. So, I know him better than you. None of my half-brothers and sisters should be taken lightly. Once you will beco my wife, the real ga will start, Li Hua.” His words sound more like a warning to her. She was curious to know more, but Lóng Wei ended the conversation by saying he needed to sleep.
~~~~~~
In the morning, Li Hua woke up early and tidied everything in the chamber. Lóng Wei was still asleep, draped in the quilt. She didn’t disturb his sleep and freshened up before he would be awake.
She clipped her hair well after drying them and returned to the chamber. Lóng Wei had woken up, but he had covered himself with the quilt. Only his face was visible while his eyes were closed. He seed tired.
“Good morning, Your Highness.” Li Hua wished him the morning and asked him to get up. “In half an hour, the Sixth Prince has to go for the morning tea. It will not be good if he gets late,” Li Hua opined and held the edge of the quilt to pull it away.
Lóng Wei caught her wrist, and the next second, she was on his lap. Her hands were on his arms, and a few of her hair covered one side of her face.
“I love to make people wait for ,” Lóng Wei said and tucked the strands behind her ear. “You sll good on this lovely morning.” He drew her close and buried his face in the crook of her neck. Li Hua’s breath hitched when his nose nuzzled her neck.
“Your Highness,” she whispered.
“Hmm?”
“Don’t do that,” she urged. Her fingers dug into the material of his dress.
“It’s my affection, Li Hua,” he whispered before kissing her sweet spot, right below her ear. She widened her eyes and wrestled herself away. However, Lóng Wei’s arms were still around her waist.
“Why did His Highness do that?” She asked in bewildernt. She was angry at him, but it sounded enchanting to Lóng Wei. He pulled her up, and their faces ca closer.
“To make you feel comfortable. You need to fall in love with . So, I try to be affectionate.” Lóng Wei smiled, and the pad of his finger brushed against the bridge of her nose.
Li Hua found his smile adorable. It was rare to see Lóng Wei smile. He usually would be in anger, but around her, he usually smiled.
“His Highness shall get ready,” Li Hua reminded him. “The bathhouse pool is ready. The water may get cold if he delays,” she reasoned.
“Hmm. I am heading to the washroom first,” Lóng Wei said as his hold loosened around her waist. Soon, he let go of her, who quickly stood up.
“I will see you in the bathhouse,” Lóng Wei said, and walked out.
Li Hua wanted to refuse to help him, but he had already left without listening to her. She brought her hand near her neck and stroked where Lóng Wei kissed her. “Feng Lao, that was nothing,” she murmured, “so, forgive .”
