Chapter 140



Li Hua glanced at Lóng Wei, who had his hands locked behind his back. “That night the back side of the Xu Residence burned down into ashes. However, shortly after the fire, the rain started, so the fire was extinguished.

Li Hua looked back towards the residence. Tears appeared in her eyes. “Your Highness, let’s go tomorrow to the Xu Residence. I want to visit my house,” Li Hua made up her mind to go to the Xu Residence.

“Are you sure?” Lóng Wei questioned her.

Li Hua nodded her head. “I want to check many things at my house,” she stated.

“Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Then, we will go to the market to enjoy with the people,” Lóng Wei suggested to her.

“The people recognize me,” Li Hua stated. A sudden fear appeared on her face. “Then what will I answer?” Li Hua asked. “I ran away that day while my family members fought alone. Won’t I be called a coward, a selfish person? Also, none knows about the Sixth Prince. It is not a good idea to go to the center of the market at such a festival.” Li Hua put forward all the cons of going to market, among the people.

Lóng Wei chuckled. “It is the time when I must show to people who I am. As soon as you stepped into my life, I decided that I would never return to this cold palace after being punished. Also, who knows our enemy will be dumbstruck to see you alive, your brother alive.” Lóng Wei’s words sounded as if he had a big plan in his mind.

“Is my enemy in this town?” Li Hua asked.

.....

“I think so. The person who planned the assassination against your family was indeed close to your father, who knew everything about the Xu Residence. It’s indeed someone from this town,” Lóng Wei proclaimed. Li Hua had the hunch that her husband knew everything about the culprit. But he was refraining from telling anything related to that.

“His Highness shall tell me who is behind all this. Does my Elder First Brother know about it?” Li Hua turned desperate to know. Her gaze fixated on him, eagerly waiting for him to answer.

Lóng Wei looked at the sun which was on the horizon. The redness had spread in the sky and the last few rays were falling on the earth. “Li Hua, we must return. The forest here isn’t good. Animals come out after sunset,” Lóng Wei advised her and grasped her hand.

“I won’t go unless His Highness tells me the truth,” Li Hua affirmed.

“I only made assumptions,” Lóng Wei stated. “The assumptions that you failed to make,” he clarified to Li Hua.

“I know His Highness is lying. He’s hiding from me. I won’t ever forgive me if he doesn’t tell me the truth within this week,” Li Hua stated. “I mean it. I will never forgive His Highness. I will stop these feelings from building inside me for him. I will distance myself from him.” Li Hua said some harsh things to him. But, at the same time, she confessed that she started to like him.

Lóng Wei amusingly stared into her eyes. The redness that had spread in the sky slowly started to diminish.

“Don’t worry. You will find everything before leaving Xinshui,” Lóng Wei stated. He took a step towards her. “Just admit that you like me. Though you already have, I would like to hear it,” he demanded and didn’t blink.

“Does His Highness know who did this to my family?” Li Hua questioned instead of answering him.

“Do you like me?” Lóng Wei also questioned her and took another step toward her such that there was no space left even for the air.

“His Highness didn’t answer my question,” Li Hua asserted.

“Neither did you,” Lóng Wei promptly replied.

“No, I hate him,” Li Hua said loudly and turned away to leave. Her back hit his chest as Lóng Wei pulled her back.

“It means that you like me,” Lóng Wei whispered in her ear. Li Hua tilted her head and glared into his eyes.

“His Highness should check his ears. I clearly said that I hate him,” Li Hua said with annoyance and hit the middle of his abdomen with her elbow. She walked ahead quickly.

“Ouch! That hurts, Wifey,” Lóng Wei said and followed her. He approached her and suddenly lifted her in his arms.

“Leave me,” Li Hua slapped at his shoulders and threw her legs in the air.

“Stay still. Do you want us to fall and get injured?” Lóng Wei raised his voice.

“Yes. It is better for me to fall than staying in His Highness’s arms,” Li Hua stated.

“There may be snakes here. It’s better for you to be in arms,” Lóng Wei explained to her.

“Snakes are better,” Li Hua muttered.

“Then, I will leave you here and return to the palace. Animals will be happy to have you as their feast,” Lóng Wei tried to intimidate her.

Li Hua’s ears turned red in anger. “Then, His Highness can leave me here. He thinks that I am weak and can’t go back,” Li Hua challenged him.

Lóng Wei smiled and it confused her. “Indeed, you are weak,” Lóng Wei said and started to walk. “Now, stop arguing with me. I would have dropped you here if you hadn’t been in my mind and heart,” he stated.

Li Hua averted her gaze from him and decided not to talk to him.

The sky turned dark sooner than it was expected. Li Hua looked around and realized that she could not see well except in the eyes of Lóng Wei.

“His Highness can put me down. Then, we can walk fast,” Li Hua opined. She had pledged not to speak to him, but in this situation, she had to.

“So, you finally spoke,” Lóng Wei taunted her. “We are close to the cold palace,” he asserted.

“It was because of the situation we are in,” Li Hua gave an explanation.

“So, you also seek benefits in people,” Lóng Wei remarked.

“No,” Li Hua refused and wondered where their conversation was heading to.

“Then why do you like me? Because I helped you or because you like the way I am,” Lóng Wei again jumped back to the same question. After Li Hua admitted that she had feelings for him, he was frenzied.

“I will tell when His Highness tells me the truth,” Li Hua stated.

“Hmm. Then, be ready to learn the truth tomorrow,” Lóng Wei proclaimed. Li Hua was delighted to hear him. She would not spare that person.
