Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

Chapter 367



“Your Highness, I think that His Majesty said that to me because I asked Lady Huan Bi about your late mother,” Li Hua stated.

Lóng Wei tilted his head and asked her when she met Huan Bi. Li Hua told him the truth. Lóng Wei was upset to know that Li Hua did not listen to him and did what could bring her danger.

“I had told you for a reason not to look into it. Since my father has a doubt about you, then he will keep an eye on us,” Lóng Wei suggested to her.

“Your Highness, the King seems suspicious to me,” Li Hua expressed her views.

“Why? Because he said that to you?! I will not agree to that. Father would not have protected me all these years if he had known the truth about me,” Lóng Wei said.

“Is His Highness sure?” Li Hua questioned him. “My father believed his longtime friend for a long time,” she stated.

“That was a different case, Li Hua,” Lóng Wei said. “My father can never do something wrong to me,” he affirmed.

“He forced your mother to be his concubine and he killed so many people. I have no trust in His Majesty,” Li Hua stated. “It would not have begun if he had not-” she paused when Lóng Wei pressed his pointer finger against her lips.

.....

“Now, do not speak anything,” Lóng Wei told her and leaned close to her ear, “the walls have ears too. When you will learn this? Now, keep quiet on this matter.” He slowly pulled away and lowered his hand.

“Did you meet your brother?” Lóng Wei asked her and looked towards the sliding door. He told her that he would come soon and walked up to leave. After a minute, he returned with a big bowl of red and green grapes. He sat down and put a grape in her mouth.

“How is it?” he asked.

“Sweet and juicy,” Li Hua answered and picked up one. She asked Lóng Wei to open his mouth, who did that and then ate the grape.

“I told His Highness that my elder brother would agree to help me,” Li Hua proudly said.

“You must have cried before him,” Lóng Wei proclaimed and picked up another grape. He ate that as he listened to Li Hua’s explanation.

“I did not cry,” Li Hua replied. “Elder Brother agreed promptly,” she lied and put the grape between her lips. Lóng Wei brought his hand to the back of her head and pulled her towards him. He bit half of the grape, chewed it, and then swallowed it. He looked at the startled expressions of Li Hua and asked her to eat. She ate that and heard Lóng Wei speak.

“Xu Zifan will get a scolding from Huang Xi for speaking to him about Princess Jingfei. Will it not bother you that your brother is getting a scolding for a useless matter?” Lóng Wei queried her.

“Commander Huang Xi is not like His Highness,” Li Hua remarked and ate another grape. “He is a nice man, who cares for his friends,” she opined, after a few seconds.

“You do not need to praise another man in front of me. I know how nice he is!” Lóng Wei said with a slightly irked tone.

“A good person should be praised,” Li Hua argued with him.

“Not before me,” he reminded her.

“Why?”

“Because I get jealous. You should praise about me and me only,” he stated.

Li Hua smiled to hear him and pushed two red grapes into his mouth. She told Lóng Wei that Jingfei deserved a second chance. “I know she did wrong with us, but it does not mean that she will keep doing it,” she said. Lóng Wei did not agree with her words and told her that his views were different on that matter.

“I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Whether Jingfei marries or does not marry, will not matter to me. However, one thing I want to tell you is that Jingfei does not deserve Huang Xi. He deserves a better woman than her. Yes, I judge her because of my differences with her, and I will keep judging her,” Lóng Wei stated.

Li Hua cupped Lóng Wei’s face and then, pinched his nose. “His Highness should not say this about a person. Princess Jingfei has definitely turned good. She has started to understand you,” she said as he put her hand under his cheek again.

“Great. Now, no more conversation about her,” Lóng Wei said and put his hand on her waist. He stroked her long, silky hair. They both peered into each other’s eyes for many minutes, keeping a silence between them.

Li Hua had lowered her hands from his cheeks to his shoulders and moved close to him. Their noses touched. Breaths mingled.

She looked at his lips and then into his eyes before kissing him. Her hands were now locked behind his nape and he placed her on his lap. They kissed passionately until they ran out of air.

He opened the front knot of the dress right above her chest in the middle. His fingers traced her collarbone before he placed gentle, butterfly kisses there. He tilted her neck and showered numerous sloppy kisses there too. She let out faint moans and she moved her fingers into his hair. As he reached up to her ear, he whispered, “You are an aphrodisiac to me.” He kissed the top of her earlobe, and then again faced her.

“Aphrodisiac is a drug,” Li Hua said, “and it is not good.”

Lóng Wei clicked his tongue and asked her who told her that. “You did not understand my metaphor, Wife,” he said and caressed her arm. Li Hua blinked a few times and then, nodded. She admitted that she was slow sometimes to understand.
