Xiaoming had told her earlier how he felt insecure around Lóng Wei. However, he never let those evil feelings come out.

“I did start building hatred towards him. It was an important day for me, yet he had to do that,” Xiaoming replied. “But now I think about it and see Li Hua with him, I feel he was alone. He was an outcast. I never saw him smile. He never interacted with us. It was strange to see that. I had heard how he would shout at the servants in his service. Sometimes, he would run away. Also, I never saw his mother smile at him. That was probably the chief reason behind such behavior.” When he thought about the past, those were the most suitable assumptions he could make.

“That sounds so upsetting,” Liu Jin Yu said. “I asked Li Hua if she was ever scared of her husband. She laughed at my question first before answering.” Xiaoming glanced at her in inquisitiveness to learn the answer.

“She said that people misjudged her husband. Because she’s with him, she knows what Prince Lóng Wei is!” Liu Jin Yu stated.

“Indeed, a man shares everything with his woman. That’s why Li Hua knows him better than all of us,” he asserted, and asked her if she would keep talking about them only.

“No,” Jin Yu refused.

“Your wedding outfit will come tomorrow. I think we will marry by the end of this week. Monk Yuze has yet to tell the date,” he stated.

“Really? I am a little nervous. Such a big responsibility I have to carry after becoming the Crown Prince’s wife,” she stated. “I don’t even know how to write properly. I have only learned to write my name,” she sighed, as she had limited time to accomplish many things.

.....

“It will take time to learn characters and then words. You can learn that even after marriage. You know some of the special things which others don’t, which in itself is admirable.” Xiaoming cheered her up.

“Hmm. You are right,” Liu Jin Yu said with a wide smile. They looked at each other when Xiaoming leaned close to her to kiss her. He had his hand on the side of her neck and closed his eyes.

“Your Royal Highne-” Court Lady Hong paused as she saw them close.

Jin Yu pushed Xiaoming away and stood up while he looked on the other side.

“Pardon this court lady. I will come later,” Court Lady Hong apologized while keeping her head down.

“Say it,” Xiaoming said, with a slight annoyance in his tone.

“I was asking if I should send the lunch,” Court Lady Hong replied.

“Later,” Xiaoming said.

Court Lady Hong nodded and left the chamber as fast as she could.

Liu Jin Yu patted her cheeks, which had heated up. She was embarrassed to find that Court Lady Hong saw the two of them close, ready to kiss each other.

“Eh!”

She was pulled down, and now, she was on Xiaoming’s lap. Her arms had secured her firmly. Jin Yu gulped and curled her fingers. She asked him if he was hungry or getting late. “We conversed a lot and-” her words could not be completed as Xiaoming kissed her. Jin Yu looked shocked for a while before she reciprocated his kisses. Her hands circled around his nape while his hands were around her waist.

They gasped and withdrew when they ran out of oxygen. They breathed the same air and smiled. Xiaoming kissed the middle of her forehead, and the pad of his thumb stroked her cheek. Jin Yu lifted her eyes to peer at him.

“That was sudden,” Liu Jin Yu said.

“Hmm. It’s hard to stay away from you. Half of my mind is on you if you aren’t around. But restrictions do not allow me to come to you,” Xiaoming said, and brushed the fringes away from the temple of her forehead.

“After marriage, the restrictions will be uplifted,” Jin Yu stated.

“You are right,” he said and kissed her cheek this time. He didn’t stop there and planted soft kisses down her jawline. Jin Yu asked him to stop, but at the same time, she wanted him to continue doing that. She had a conflicted mind.

Every time his lips touched her skin, shivers would travel down her entire spine. She tightened her hold on the fabric of his robe and surrendered herself to his mercy. When her mind was hit with a sudden thought that she was doing wrong, she pushed him back and covered his mouth with her hand.

“It’s wrong before the marriage. Let’s get married first,” she opined and slowly lowered her hand.

“Fine. But don’t stop me after the marriage,” Xiaoming stated.

“I won’t,” she said, and asked him to let her go.

“Let’s stay like this,” Xiaoming urged, “for a few minutes.”

Jin Yu hummed and asked him if he would always love him the same way.

“The love only increases with time. However, in a marriage, more than love, it is respect and trust. My respect for you isn’t easy to express in words and my trust in you is vast like an ocean,” Xiaoming answered her question. Jin Yu smiled and told him that he used metaphorical context more.

“Did His Highness ever visit the coast?” She suddenly asked him.

“I haven’t,” Xiaoming replied.

“I will take you to the ocean after our marriage. It will be fun to run on the side of the ocean, watching the waves and sunset. It calms you down and ends your worries,” Jin Yu proclaimed. Xiaoming was excited to visit such a place with her.

“We will surely go to see the ocean,” Xiaoming promised.
