Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 326 - I Will Miss You



Ying Lili as soon as reached her chamber, removed the veiled hat from her head and laid down on the bed, not putting pressure on her right shoulder. He put the kites on the table and also the prosperity wall hanging. Sheng Li pulled out the fake beard and mustache from his face. 

"I am so tired," Ying Lili said in a low voice, but Sheng Li heard her. He poured water in a glass and went towards the bed. "Sit up," Sheng Li commanded Ying Lili. He regretted taking Ying Lili out, but he wanted her to enjoy it a little. Ying Lili, putting her weight on her elbows, sat up on the bed. 

Sheng Li sat beside her on the mattress and handed her the silver glass. "Drink it," he said. Ying Lili took water from him and drank the water. She finished it when Sheng Li asked her if she wanted more.

"No," she simply refused. Sheng Li took the glass from her hand and placed it on a bedside table. His eyes fell on the tassel which was hanging from the sash on Ying Lili's waist.

"Who gave you this?" Sheng Li curiously asked. 

Ying Lili lowered her eyes. "Hu Jingguo. He brought a gift for me," Ying Lili said with a smile and took it out. Her fingers grazed over the beads, hanging at the bottom of the tassel. 

Sheng Li took the tassel from her and put that inside his pocket, startling her. "I will give you better than this. Why is he giving such gifts to you?" Sheng Li complained. 

"Because he is my friend," Ying Lili replied. "You are again jealous. Give it back," she reached her hand towards his pocket, but Sheng Li caught her hand. 

"If I have a friend who's a woman and she gives gifts to me then would you like that?" Sheng Li questioned. 

Ying Lili's lips quivered. Sheng Li knew that Ying Lili would not ever allow a woman to do such acts. 

"Why not? She can give you and you can accept that gift. I know my husband loves me only, so there's no point in getting jealous." Sheng Li was bewildered to hear the answer of Ying Lili. 

"I am not jealous of him and I do not want any woman to give me anything," Sheng Li stated. He gently grabbed her legs and placed them over his lap. "I just hate it," Sheng Li pronounced and gently pressed his fingers over her legs. 

Ying Lili was touched by his words. Indeed, Sheng Li acted like a child many times, but he always thought of her first. His love towards her was indeed eternal. "It is not good when a husband touches his wife's legs or feet. I have told you many times," Ying Lili placed her hands over his and gazed at him. 

"I want to do it," Sheng Li sternly said and looked down at her legs. "I was not good in studies but I heard from the teacher of medicine that when someone is tired and his legs ache then one should press them. Blood circulation turns good and it soothes you," Sheng Li stated. 

Ying Lili's heart fluttered to hear his words. Every single day she used to find a new side of Sheng Li. "You are indeed my soulmate," Ying Lili suddenly said. Sheng Li gazed at her and again focused on her legs. "I was feeling pain in my legs. You read my mind even when I don't say anything," Ying Lili stated. 

"Lay down and close your eyes. You will feel better that way." He grabbed her both arms and made her lay down on the bed. He again continued his work. "I want to cherish every moment with you. For me not a single day was exciting. However with you, since the beginning, I was curious to know everything. I started understanding everyone. You showed me the world differently." Sheng Li was a little emotional today. The reason was unknown to Ying Lili. She just stared at his face, reading his every expression.

"Sheng Li," Ying Lili called out his name. 

"Huh?" Sheng Li looked at her. 

"Lie down beside me," Ying Lili requested him. 

Without any question, Sheng Li put her legs on the mattress gently. He covered her legs from the fabric of the skirt and climbed up on the bed. As per Ying Lili's request, he laid down beside her. Ying Lili turned to him. Placing her palm over his cheek, she caressed it. Their eyes never left each other's gaze. 

"Lili, after Hu Jingguo will be back, I need to go somewhere," Sheng Li stated. Ying Lili frowned because this statement was sudden. 

"Where and why?" Ying Lili queried. 

Sheng Li had thought to keep lying to Ying Lili about the enemy whom he talked to Weng Wei before her death, but he thought to share half a truth to Ying Lili. 

"Why are you not speaking?" Ying Lili's soft melodious voice brought her out from his thoughts. After peering at her for a few minutes, he said, "Northern Province because of-" no words were coming out of his mouth to tell a lie to Ying Lili. He clenched his fist and finally spoke, "Some work related to the Empire." 

"What type of work you cannot do from here that you have to go there? Is there any kind of confrontations going on between the people and higher-ups? Let's go there together," Ying Lili pronounced. 

"You are not going with me," Sheng Li replied. "Look after the Empire from here," Sheng Li stated. 

Ying Lili pulled her hand back. She was utterly confused by now. 

"Indeed confrontations are going on between the people and the higher-ups," Sheng Li asserted. "Earlier I was scared of Weng Wei, that's why I took you to the Southern Province. But, this time the situation is different. Palace is no longer a dangerous place. I have more people to trust on. Furthermore, I want someone to check up on everything behind me and that's you because I trust you more than myself," Sheng Li proclaimed. 

"Are you lying to me?" Ying Lili asked. 

"No," Sheng Li immediately replied. "Why would I lie?" Sheng Li muttered and smiled at her. 

"Do not even think of lying to me. If you do, I will kill you from my hands," Ying Lili sternly said. Sheng Li chuckled, though he felt good upon hearing those words. Someone who loved him beyond one could even think of having full rights to say this to him. 

"Wildcat, do you know when you react this way or get angry, you look more attractive?" Sheng Li curled up his fingers under her chin and pulled her face closer to him. Kissing her lips, he pulled back and then brought that hand on her hair to caress them. 

"In how many days will the work be completed?" 

"I do not know. You know that when such matters come up then usually two weeks, a month, or sometimes even months are needed. But, I will try to complete the work as soon as possible," Sheng Li affirmed. 

Ying Lili nodded and snuggled closer to him. "I will miss you," Ying Lili said and placed her arm over his chest.
