The dinner finished in an ear-deafening silence.

Even Eunuch Zhang and other servants could feel the stressed atmosphere between the second Prince and Wangfei.

So when Zhao Zhang Wei put down the chopsticks and even Yi Huqing was not eating anything, Eunuch Wang hurriedly asked the servants to clean the table and left the pair of husband and wife to talk with each other.

Zhao Zhang Wei stood up to leave the dining room.

Just as he stood up, he saw that Yi Huiqing was still sitting at the same place.

A frown marred the always smiling and gentle prince.

"Are you going to pretend to be dumb this time?"

A cold voice fell in Yi Huiqing's ears startling her whole body.

"Huh?"

She looked around and found Zhao Zhang Wei standing.

'When did all the servants leave?'

Yi Huiqing was confused as she stood up and followed Zhao Zhang Wei out of the dining room. In some part of her mind, the question asked by Zhao Zhang Wei was still revolving.

It was only when they reached inside Zhao Zhang Wei's chambers did Yi Huqing realized what Zhao Zhang Wei was trying to imply with his question.

He was implying the time when she had eaten those pills given by Imperial Physician Sun to save herself from spending a night with him.     

Anger filled Yi Huiqing's heart and she glared t the dong man's back.

Would she have done such a thing if he had not tried to force her to spend the night with him on the same bed? 

The next moment, however, the anger inside her heart was replaced by horror when she heard the sound of doors being closed. She swiftly turned around and sure enough, the doors of the room were closed now.

Heart filled with panic and horror, Yi Huqing didn't know what she should do.

When she had said accepted Zhao Zhang Wei's proposal of spending a night in his courtyard she had thought she would be able to do it.

She would spend a night on his bed then the next day she would eat some medicine to stop the pregnancy and after that, she would pretend as if nothing happened between them ever.

But Alas! Things were not as simple as they seemed to be.

Standing in the same room with Zhao Zhang Wei, her heart couldn't accept the same idea now.

Yi Huiqing's whole body stiffened when she felt a pair of arms surrounding her waist suddenly from behind.

Since she was still looking at the doors she never noticed when Zhao Zhang Wei turned around and walked towards her.

Zhao Zhang Wei back hugged Yi Huiqing in his arms. The faint scent of flowers invaded her nostrils and he couldn't stop himself from burying his nose further inside her neck.

He could feel the stiffness of the body in his arms and his eyes dimmed a little.       

"Are you nervous?" 

The deep voice fell in Yi Huiqing's ears making her lean away a little from Zhao Zhang Wei's mouth. She didn't want to be near him.

She could already feel her heart and her body being affected by him.

As much as Yi Huiqing disliked in the present, she could never change the fact that her past self had loved Zhao Zhang Wei with all her heart. Her body had accepted this man willingly for all the night she had spent with him.

Her resistance made Zhao Zhang Wei's heart clench with pain.

He loosened his arms a little only to see Yi Huiqing stepping far away from him as if he was some kind of plague.

Pain…it was something that Zhao Zhang Wei had never admitted he could feel.

So he hid his pain under the mask of his anger and coldness.

"Come to the bed."

With these words, he turned around and moved towards the comfy bed inside his chambers.

And Yi Huiqing's face went pale.

It took her a few moments to raise her feet and follow Zhao Zhang Wei. Her steps stiff and short as if she never wished to reach the bed.

Hence, when Zhao Zhang Wei reached the bed, Yi Huiqing was still quite far away from his reach.

Seeing her pale face, and her short and stiff movements, Zhao Zhang Wei clenched his fists and jaw in anger.

He suddenly stood up from the bed and strode towards Yi Huiqing in long strides.

"Yi Huiqing"

Yi Huiqing was startled when she suddenly found Zhang Zhang Wei standing in front of herself. Before she could even think of anything, she heard Zhao Zhang Wei questioning herself that too in a quite furious tone.

"Tell me, were you pretending for all those past four years? Were you pretending to love me?"

Yi Huiqing's eyes went cold as soon as she heard Zhao Zhang Wei's question, but she didn't say anything.

Zhao Zhang Wei didn't notice anything in his anger.

He held Yi Huiqing's arms with both of his hands and dragged her closer to himself. His phoenix eyes were filled with pain when Yi Huiqing didn't even lift her eyes to look at him. 

"Qingqin"

He whispered helplessly putting aside all his arrogance and ego for the first time.

"Can you please continue to pretend like that again?"

Surprise flashed through Yi Huiqing's cold eyes when she heard the helplessness in Zhao Zhang Wei's voice. Slowly she raised her head to look at the man in front of him.

But Zhao Zhang We didn't wish her to see him in such a vulnerable state. He immediately hugged her tightly in his arms so that she would not be able to look in his eyes that were now filled with pain.

"Pretend to love me again... I will give you everything that any woman in this Imperial Palace desires..You just have to pretend that you love me…Become the Qingqing you were before…"

Zhao Zhang Wei whispered exhaustedly with closed eyes.

Silence lingered in the room after his words and Zhao Zhang Wei disappointed when he didn't get any answer.

But he continued to hug Yi Huiqing tightly.

It was a few moments later, Yi Huiqing said something but this something made Zhao Zhang Wei's whole body froze.

"Wangye wishes for me to pretend in front of him? Just like Wangye did? …when my child was killed by someone else...."
