253 Hooked his finger

Li Hua widened her eyes while continuing to peer into his eyes. “My Elder Brother is still present in the manor,” Li Hua said, and gulped the lump that had formed in her throat. She knew what would happen next. But she didn’t want it to happen in the open, especially in that rain.

“Xu Zifan knows that his sister is a newly married woman. “Even if he sees us like this, he will only smile and turn away,” Lóng Wei explained.

“I am hungry,” Li Hua said, and tried to pull away from his grip.

Lóng Wei tightened his hold and pulled her towards him with a stronger force. Their noses touched, and it made Li Hua’s breath hitch. “I am also hungry,” he said, “but for the kiss in the rain.”

“But-”

He didn’t let her speak and pressed his lips to hers. He let go of the umbrella and rested his hand behind her head. The umbrella fell with a thud on the ground while the rain drops fell on their faces and they both tightly shut their eyes.

Soon, they were completely drenched. Her hands were no longer gripping the overcoat as they were locked around his neck. It seemed she longed for him for a long time. Once they withdrew, they both gasped for air.

He traced her cheeks with his thumbs and again kissed her. However, this time he didn’t kiss her for long. He took her inside when saw a maidservant who informed them Xu Zifan had left earlier.

“Send the clothes for us,” Lóng Wei told her, and walked ahead to his chamber. He slid the door and gestured to Li Hua to walk in. He stepped in after her and closed the door.

.....

“His Highness could have kissed me here too. I don’t like to get drenched,” Li Hua complained. She removed the hairpins and other hair accessories.

She turned when he pecked her lips “Happy?” He gave her a wide smile.

Li Hua pursed her lips tightly and a blush covered her cheeks.

Best

“Your Highness, this servant has brought the clothes,” the maidservant said from outside. Lóng Wei went to the door and brought dresses for them. He put them on the mattress and dried Li Hua’s face with the towel.

“Summer rain showers are good to enjoy,” he said as he took her right hand. He wiped it well and then wiped her other hand. “How long are you going to shy away from me? We didn’t even consummate our marriage. We both love each other, so you should not act that way,” he said.

“I do not get shy,” Li Hua promptly said, and took the towel from his hand. “I will do it myself. His Highness shall change first. I will change in the room adjacent to the bed chamber,” Li Hua opined.

“Don’t go away. Change here if you aren’t shy,” Lóng Wei challenged her. He knew she would again find a way to run away from him. He would love to see how long she would keep up with her act.

“Will His Highness not ask why the King called me?” She suddenly took him to another topic.

Lóng Wei took a step towards her and lifted his hand. He hooked his finger in the knot of her dress and tugged at it. The knot loosened and the sash almost fell down. Li Hua was frozen at his attempt to undress her and she immediately brought her hands to her chest, not wanting the fabric to fall down.

Her toes were tightly pressed into the rug beneath her as she stared into his eyes. Lóng Wei didn’t move his eyes from hers even for a second. However, Li Hua’s body was on fire with that intimate distance and gaze.

“Forgive me,” she said, and bit her lower lip. She wondered if she had disappointed him. Her hands had turned sweaty because of the slight fear in her.

“I want you so badly, but I will wait for the right time. If I have waited till now, then I can wait more,” Lóng Wei said and brought his hands to the sash which had held her dress in place. He tied the knot once more.

Li Hua read the facial expressions on his face. “You can change here,” he said. He turned to leave when she held his hand.

He tilted his head when she hugged him from behind. Her hands rested on his chest while her side face rested on the right side of his back. “I also want His Highness as much as he wants me,” she said.

“Presently, I have many things in my mind which I need to discuss with His Highness. Forgive me, if I have hurt you again.”

She wanted to ask him why he suddenly wanted to be Governor. She wanted to tell him she had gone to see Qiu Mu, and she wanted to ask him about his meeting with Feng Lao.

“You didn’t hurt me,” Lóng Wei said, and grabbed her with both hands. He slowly lowered them down and turned to face her. “I wanted to know if you were shy or not.” He brushed his finger on her nose tip and smiled.

“I will ask the maidservant to send the meals for us,” he said and picked up his clothes before walking out of the bedchamber.

“Your Highness, I will prove to you that I am not shy,” Li Hua loudly said.

Lóng Wei smiled when he heard her. After changing his clothes, he ordered the maidservant to send meals for them. He waited for Li Hua to come out as he had already taken a seat around the table.

Soon, Li Hua entered and took a seat around the table.

“I told Feng Lao about his family. He went back to Xinshui. He will come soon once he will be in the right mind. He asked me to convey the message to you not to blame yourself for all this,” Lóng Wei asserted.

“Your Highness, was I too harsh on him? I never behaved this way with anyone,” Li Hua said.

“You were infuriated because he kept the truth hidden. However, in the end, he also lost his family,” Lóng Wei stated.

“I pray for the souls of his deceased family members. Yang Mei didn’t deserve it. None of them deserved to die this way. My brother even cried upon learning about this,” Li Hua said.

Lóng Wei knew that the enemy would kill them, but even he had not expected it to come this way. Who could be this ruthless in the palace? The Queen, the Consorts or any of the Concubines? Were they powerful enough to do something like this.

“Shui Xiaoqing was foolish to believe the enemy would spare him. I will not do anything more for a while. I will gather power to fight this unknown enemy in the palace,” Lóng Wei stated.
