72 The Wedding night- Part 3 (Released from Prison)
“Since you are not ready to tell , then let’s kiss,” he said. His hand moved behind the back of her head and he drew her close for a kiss.
His lips brushed on her soft, feathery lips. The mont their lips t, it sent electric pulses in their respective bodies. For Lóng Wei, this kiss was crucial on their wedding night. He kept the kiss gentle.
Lóng Wei moved his lips, first on her bottom lip and then at the upper lip. The taste of the rose of the lip color that she had used fell on his tongue. Her bodily odor drove him crazy. But he could not force her. The only thing that he desired, for now, was a kiss.
A mutual kiss.
That would bond him for eternity with her.
Li Hua closed her eyes. She was unable to understand whether to respond to his kiss or to push him away. Her mind felt dizzy with those thoughts. She had never had her first kiss. Though she kissed Lóng Wei twice, those were re for a second or even less.
Li Hua finally moved her lips after fighting with her double thoughts. But before it could turn into sothing she didn’t want, she bit his bottom lip. Promptly, Lóng Wei pulled away and put his thumb on his lower lip. He smirked and saw Li Hua looking at him in inquisitiveness.
“I like your boldness,” Lóng Wei said and put his hand down. The blood was still on his lips and he thanked her for responding to his kiss.
“I did not, Your Highness” Li Hua replied. Her mind had diverted for a second when his lips captured hers, but then she recalled Feng Lao which made her do it.
.....
“You did respond to my kiss, Li Hua,” Lóng Wei stated and smirked.
She walked past him and picked up the pillow to go to the recliner.
“How long are you going to hide it? Isn’t Xu Guang Li your Father?” Lóng Wei asked her again. It put her in a dilemma. She was unable to understand how he knew her father.
“How can I trust His Highness?” Li Hua put forward her question and turned to gaze into his eyes. To know a person, one must look into the person’s eyes. But reading Lóng Wei’s eyes was difficult and even hard. Still, she wanted to try it.
Lóng Wei chuckled. “Didn’t you marry to use and then kill when your work will be over!?” He was straightforward this ti. He stood in front of her and leaned down so that their faces ca at the sa level.
“Li Hua, why do you think I asked for my power back?” Lóng Wei asked her.
She knitted her brows in bewildernt. Lóng Wei knew those things which she never discussed with anyone. But, how?
“Why are you mute? Are we going to spend this beautiful night this way?” Lóng Wei asked her. “Is being a sacrificial lamb not enough for you to trust ?” He questioned her.
Li Hua finally opened her mouth to speak. “Why does His Highness pretend all this ti?” Her first question made Lóng Wei laugh which confused Li Hua.
“Forgive ,” Lóng Wei stood tall after controlling his laughter. “I never pretended. I always asked you to tell the truth. You were the one who told every sort of lie,” he reminded her and took a step forward.
Li Hua took a step back.
“I know your entire family. I know what happened that night. Aren’t you curious to know?” Lóng Wei asked with a grin on his face. He planned that he would tell her everything after they would get married and now it was the ti.
“How? No one knows about it,” Li Hua asserted and continued to step back. She stopped when got hit against the round table. Her one palm rested on its edge while the other tightly held the pillow in her hand.
“I am different from the others. I know everything going on around . It is just the information that’s useful for , I work on that first,” Lóng Wei answered.
He finally trapped her between his arms and continued to smile. “Do you think that our first encounter was in the palace? You have such a poor mory, Li Hua. I have rembered you for a long ti. Our first kiss wasn’t here but in Xinshui Town. You kissed that day and made wonder who this magical woman was! Unaware of my identity, you showed one of your purest emotions to . So, my love for you started that day. Why do you think I was adamant to marry you? Why do you think I fought with the Crown Prince? Why do you think I didn’t let you get a hit? Why do you think I planned all this?”
Planned all this?!
Those questions of Lóng Wei shocked Li Hua. She was unable to recall if they ever t. No way she could et him. She wasn’t even allowed to step her foot out of the Xu Residence. Mostly she went to friendly gatherings, and she never interacted with any man.
She squeezed the pillow in her hand tightly when Lóng Wei leaned closer to, her but ducked his head to reach her ear.
“Xu Guang Li will be proud of his daughter. A caged bird finally got released from the prison. But this bird landed in another prison, where anything could have happened to her. That’s why Lóng Wei had to return as soon as possible to help this bird which will soon transform into a phoenix,” Lóng Wei pronounced solemnly. Li Hua opened her eyes and narrowly gazed at him.
He slowly leaned back and again peered into her eyes.
Those doe eyes were filled with tears.
“Are any of them alive?” She asked with high hopes. She wished her father to be alive, at least. “Are they?” Her long eyelashes fluttered as the tears ca down to the edges of her eyes.
