Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 161 - Cares For You



Ying Lili asked Sheng Li why they did not go outside. They had to gather more information about the Lǎohǔ group. Sheng Li was resting on the bed with one leg over the other, and his eyes were closed while Ying Lili was on the chaise. 

"Why are you not answering?" Ying Lili asked. 

"People might get suspicious of our identities. Wang Hao and Xiao Zhan have gone outside to gather some information," Sheng Li answered and opened his eyes. He turned to his right, shifting his weight on his right elbow, which was supporting his head, and stretched out both legs. 

"I need to learn that game. Tonight I will start practicing," Sheng Li stated. 

"We can start now," Ying Lili said but Sheng Li refused. He gestured to her to come towards him, using his pointer finger. Ying Lili stood up and went towards him. Sheng Li moved back while Ying Lili sat beside him. 

"So, did you recall more things that happened last night?" Sheng Li questioned. 

Ying Lili frowned as she was confused about what Sheng Li was talking about. Was there something she had forgotten? She skeptically looked at Sheng Li who had a smug expression. 

"So, you indeed forgot! Since the morning, I waited for you to talk about that but you are pretending as if nothing happened," Sheng Li pronounced and sat up. He brought his left leg closer while his left hand rested over it. 

"Why is he suddenly bringing this up? I did not want the confession to happen like this," Ying Lili thought in her mind when Sheng Li snapped his fingers in front of her eyes. The smirk was not leaving Sheng Li's lips. Ying Lili's hands were sweating because of her nervousness. 

"I am going to see Hu Jingguo. He might be alone" she stood up and turned to go when Sheng Li caught her wrist and pulled her down. 

Ying Lili was now in Sheng Li's lap while both his hands were wrapping around her. "I do not like it when you say the name of that guy in front of me. Didn't I warn you not to talk about him in front of me?" Sheng Li queried Ying Lili. 

"W-what did I even do? I was just saying that he might be…" Sheng Li placed his index finger over Ying Lili's lips thus stopping her from speaking further. He edged his eyes up

and looked into her eyes. 

"When I am in front of you, then your focus should be on me. You should care only about me, not about the other men. Just because of you, I am tolerating his sight else I would have sent him back," Sheng Li maliciously said. 

Ying Lili felt the possessiveness in Sheng Li's eyes for her, but it was not in a wrong way but a good way. Sheng Li put his finger down. "Understood?" Sheng Li asked. 

Ying Lili nodded. 

"So, where were we? You did something last night." Sheng Li then titled his neck slightly and showed her his bare neck. "You kissed me here… no, no, not kissed but bit me there. Look, it is still red," Sheng Li said. 

Ying Lili widened her eyes because she had no memory of when she did such a thing to him. "Stop lying!" Ying Lili yanked at Sheng Li and then hit both of his shoulders. 

Sheng Li straightened his neck and with inquisitiveness peered at Ying Lili. "I am not lying, Lili. What good will it come to lie to you? Hmm?" He lifted her chin by placing his pointer finger under it. 

"You will be happy to see the intimidating expression on my face. I am aware of your tricks," proclaimed Ying Lili and put Sheng Li's index finger down. Ying Lili then placed her fingers over the region of the neck which was red. "It seems you are hurt here," Ying Lili moved back her eyes to meet Sheng Li's gaze. 

"How did you get hurt here? Something sharp has pricked you here." Sheng Li had not thought that Ying Lili would catch his lie and now he was cursing himself internally for showing her that. Last night when he had gone out, he did not see a thorny creeper that was hanging from a tree and it pricked his skin. Luckily, it was not poisonous. 

"What are you thinking? Answer. How did you get hurt here? Wait, it's blood here. Did you get pricked by something sharp here?" Ying Lili questioned as she was staring at the redness. 

"Yes. The previous day while coming back to the Residence with Wang Hao, I did not see a thorny creeper on a tree and it pricked here." Sheng Li told a white lie to Ying Lili. "I thought to tease you, but you caught me. You have sharp eyes," Sheng Li stated, giving a tiny smile to her. 

"Isn't it hurting? Why did you not tell me at that time? What if it was poisonous? Do you like to get poisoned?" Ying Lili's anger burst out at the Crown Prince who was looking at

her with amusement. 

Before he could speak, Ying Lili let go of his grip on her and got down from the bed. "Wait here. I will come. If you follow me, then you will sleep on the floor tonight," Ying Lili's threat bewildered Sheng Li, but instead of getting worried about that he passed a smile to her. She had gone out and after ten minutes, she returned to the chamber with a China dish in her hand. 

She sat beside Sheng Li and took the paste in her fingers. Moving her fingers towards Sheng Li's neck, Ying Lili applied it over the red region. The mix of the coldness of the paste and Ying Lili's feathery touch felt tickling to Sheng Li, and he ended up giggling. 

Ying Lili stopped moving her fingers and gazed back at Sheng Li. "Why are you giggling?" Ying Lili's stern expression intimidated Sheng Li for the first time. 

"Y-your fingers are ticklish," Sheng Li replied. Ying Lili put the China dish on the side table and cleaned her fingers using a cotton towel. 

"You are not allowed to get hurt or injured anymore. You have someone who cares for you," Ying Lili pronounced. 

Sheng Li found that Ying Lili was concerned about him. In those few seconds, his heart fluttered just by hearing those words. 

"I get worried when you get hurt. Do not hide even a minor injury from me. You already have so many scars on your body, and I do not want you to have more. Now, I realized that you had never properly dressed your injuries, that's why those scars were left." 

Sheng Li kept listening to her. His focus was now on her rosy lips, which were tempting him. His heart could not take it anymore so he leaned forward and kissed Ying Lili who was perplexed by that.
