Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince Chapter 51

51 She never wanted

Indeed, she would step into a new life after her marriage to Lóng Wei. His words made her skeptical if he knew sothing about her. He even had asked her to tell him first as only he would help her. She fiddled with her fingers, for a while, before turning to Lóng Wei.

“Your Highness, I would like to ask sothing from you,” Li Hua urged.

“Sure.”

Li Hua’s inner voice stopped her. What if he did not know, and she ended up revealing sothing she should not have? After all, Lóng Wei was the son of the Qiu Family. Before she could take her revenge, he might kill her. She had seen a different side of him. No matter how strangely everyone treated him, he never once thought to get separated from them or talk of taking any sort of revenge for deaning him.

Lóng Wei snapped his fingers in front of her eyes. “How long will it take you to speak?” He questioned.

Li Hua walked past him and put her fingers on the flower which she saw first. It was a peony, and she softly stroked its petals. “Does His Highness like peonies?” She changed her question.

Lóng Wei turned and humd. He walked to her and plucked one peony. Li Hua glanced at him as his hands went over her head. He put it in between her hair around the hair bun.

“Peonies remind of your face,” Lóng Wei answered as he put his hands down. “So, my likeness towards them can’t be described in simple words,” he affird.

“His Highness likes to say cheesy lines,” Li Hua said and started to walk ahead. Lóng Wei followed her and agreed with her statent.

.....

“But only to you. I don’t speak with any other woman as I do with you,” he stated. “Li Hua, there’s a waterfall on this hill and a giant lake too. Yuze lives near the lake,” he inford her.

“Oh, Monk Yuze lives on this hill.” Li Hua was surprised to hear.

“Hmm. He is a Monk so he will live in the hills only. Next ti, we will go to the waterfall,” Lóng Wei assured her. Li Hua halted, and so did he.

She promptly turned to him. “But earlier, His Highness said that I would not get any chance to go out of the palace once we would be married. Did His Highness trick ?” She inquired.

“Yes, I tricked you,” Lóng Wei readily accepted, “else, you would not have co. You would have been sadder thinking about your late friend.”

“Your Highness, did Ju Lin find dead too?” Li Hua recalled her. “She protected at the ti, so of the fellow maidservants tried to threaten ,” she asserted.

“I do not know whom you are talking about. I will ask the chief head of servants quarter about it,” Lóng Wei answered. “I will find the culprit soon. I am not remorseful of their deaths, but I am angry that soone tried to put bla at ,” Lóng Wei stated as his jaw clenched. He knew that it was Xiaoming, but he would never accept it unless he found evidence against him.

“His Highness shall not use such words. He shall try to control his anger. If he was unable to catch the one, who killed them on soone’s order, then today he would have been gone to the Cold Palace,” Li Hua said, and her brows furrowed.

“Are you concerned for ?” Lóng Wei asked amusingly.

‘No. I need to complete my mission, and I will need you till the end,’ she thought.

“The place is indeed lovely,” Li Hua changed the topic. “Did His Highness co with his mother here?” Usually, a child would co to such places with his or her mother. Her mother also used to take her to the flower garden in Xinshui town.

Li Hua found how Lóng Wei’s facial expressions changed to a grim ones. Then she realized that she was not supposed to talk about his mother. He killed her, and his mories with her might not be like other children.

“Forgive for crossing my limits, Your Highness.” Li Hua did not delay in apologizing and lowered her eyes. She felt embarrassed to suddenly bring his mother into their conversation.

“She never wanted ,” Lóng Wei said. Li Hua lifted her eyelids and peered into his eyes. “Yuze brought here when I turned three. I told you that Yuze lives nearby, so I beca a regular here,” Lóng Wei answered. Surprisingly, he didn’t get furious at Li Hua.

Usually, he would lose his temper if soone, bring his mother into the conversation. He hated her from the bottom of his heart and still did. Probably, because of his love for Li Hua, he remained in control.

Li Hua wondered what could be the reason that Lóng Wei’s mother never wanted him. He was her child, so there was no way she would despise him. Because it was Lóng Wei’s personal matter, she didn’t dig into it anymore.

“Your Highness, we can et Monk Yuze. He will feel good seeing the Sixth Prince.” Li Hua wanted to brighten his mood, and since Yuze was close to him, he would feel better.

“I am not here to et Yuze. I am here to spend ti with you,” Lóng Wei affird.

Li Hua was stunned to hear him. She again felt terrible for hurting and lying to him. No matter what her mind would say about him, her heart could see how protective he was of her.

“What if I never fall in love with His Highness? Will he love the sa way as he does today?” Li Hua ended up asking him.

“Why will you never fall in love with ? My love for you will only grow with ti,” Lóng Wei stated. He was confident about it. There was no question that he would let her go easily.

Li Hua could not tell him about Feng Lao, the one who sacrificed his life to save her. She could never forget the deep love that he carried for her till his last breath. Falling in love with Lóng Wei was impossible for her, even if he would help her achieve her aim.

Li Hua opened her mouth to speak when Lóng Wei put his index finger over her lips. “I don’t want to hear if it is related to him. I am an ardent lover. You will find it soon,” he stated. His breath fanned her forehead. He took another step toward her, to close the distance between them.

His hand slowly moved to one side of her neck, and he caressed it. “Li Hua, you won’t find a man like , who is ready to devote himself to you. I will beco better than him. It is too early for you to judge ,” he affird.

Li Hua nodded and took a tiny backward step. She was intimidated by those words. Indeed, there was none like Lóng Wei. “Let’s sit over there,” Li Hua pointed towards the tree, which was a little far from them. She lifted her skirt a little and advanced towards the tree. Since they were outside and alone, she decided to converse with him about the rules that they must follow after their marriage.
