Chapter 283
Also, she was scared that the King might announce a death sentence for her to make Xiaoming’s feelings grow for her. She didn’t want to die this way.
Suddenly, the door opened, and she rushed towards it. She found Xiaoming, whose face didn’t look good to him. She realized that the decision hadn’t come in their favor.
“Your Royal Highness, it’s fine,” Liu Jin Yu said, and walked up to him while picking up the long skirt. She put her skirt down, patted Xiaoming’s shoulders, and told him not to feel upset about it.
“I know that His Royal Highness did his best to convince his parents. This must be my bad fate that we cannot be together,” Liu Jin Yu said and tried to smile when she was internally hurt. She didn’t want Xiaoming to feel low.
“I lack many things to become the Crown Princess. Also, I do not even have strong feelings for the Crown Prince. We can both forget each other easily and move on with our respective lives. We cannot do anything against our fates,” Liu Jin Yu said and lowered her hands.
Her eyes were filled with tears and she felt like crying. Her fate was indeed the worst of all the people around her. She quickly turned her back towards him and wiped the tears from her eyes with the pad of her fingers.
She got startled when Xiaoming swirled her to face him. However, Xiaoming’s next action was much more shocking. He kissed her hard, and she stiffened in her place. Like the first time he brushed his lips on hers, this situation was similar to that. She didn’t want to kiss him back, but her heart said otherwise.
Because this was the last time, she decided to reciprocate his kiss for the first and last time. She would never meet him or see him again. Three people who were so dear to him went so far from him. She closed her eyes and locked her hands around his nape.
.....
She kissed him back. Her first and last kiss. She would remember it till her last breath. She would cherish it. Their lips moved against each other gently. After a few seconds, they slowly withdrew, and Liu Jin Yu ended up hugging Xiaoming.
“Thank you and forgive me for making things difficult for the Crown Prince,” Liu Jin Yu stated, and she pulled away.
However, to her surprise, Xiaoming didn’t let go of her. He drew her close and put his hand on the back of her head. “They agreed,” he whispered in her ear.
Liu Jin Yu was shocked to hear him. Did she hear the correct words? Did the King and Queen agree to their marriage?
“Congratulations, Jin Yu. You will become my wife and the future Crown Princess,” Xiaoming told her and a wide smile formed on his lips.
Liu Jin Yu widened her eyes. She pushed him back and asked him if he was telling the truth.
“Why would I lie to you?” Xiaoming asked.
She started to laugh when she heard him that they had no problem that she had no family!
“They don’t have any problem with your familial background,” Xiaoming replied and carried her up in his arms. He swirled in a circle joyfully while Liu Jin Yu tightly held him. She asked him to stop as she could fall. However, Xiaoming didn’t stop for a few seconds.
He finally put her down and again hugged her. “Thank you for coming to me, Jin Yu,” he said.
“Why did His Highness not say anything when I asked him about the answer? Why did his face have that grim and gloomy expression?” She playfully hit his arm and tears rolled down her cheeks. Her fate was not bad and she blamed it for no reason.
“Your Royal Highness, but how did it happen?” She withdrew from the hug and curiously waited for his answer.
“My Mother helped me. More than that Brother Lóng Wei stood for me. I always was envious of him and today, he helped me. I was so wrong about Brother Lóng Wei. And then, I thought that it would be difficult to convince my mother, but she got down from her seat and asked father to let Jin Yu marry me. She told how you surpassed other women from your unique qualities.” Xiaoming spoke as fast as he could.
Liu Jin Yu was astonished to find that the Queen had asked the King to let Xiaoming marry her. It was totally unbelievable, but it was the truth. The Queen had even sent the assassins to kill Liu Jin Yu. Then, why did she support Xiaoming? Liu Jin Yu was dubious about it, and decided to ask the Queen herself later.
“Jin Yu, you will be taught how to become a virtuous noble lady,” Xiaoming asserted.
“What does the Crown Prince mean by this?” Liu Jin Yu didn’t understand his words.
“My mother will teach you the etiquette of a noble lady. You will be the Crown Princess, so you must be virtuous in every aspect. Though I like the way you are. But others may not like this Jin Yu,” Xiaoming stated and caressed her hair.
“I understand, Your Royal Highness. It’s easy for me to learn things. If I can learn how to use a sword, then it will not be difficult for me,” Liu Jin Yu said with a smile.
“I know. You will learn those things quickly. Let’s have breakfast. Mother will soon be here, and then she may converse with you. Everyone is happy with our relationship,” Xiaoming asserted and asked Sun Fuguo to come inside.
Liu Jin was happy too, but she had no faith in the Queen’s intentions. She might have supported Xiaoming for some other reasons. She wanted to find out about it and she would find the Queen’s true intentions today at any cost.
