Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

574 I want his happiness

“Brother Lóng Wei never came to see me before,” Ai Fen said. “Will he like to drink the tea?” She asked.

“Thank you for asking, but I will not take the tea,” Lóng Wei replied. “I am here to ask something from the Second Princess,” He asserted.

“What does Brother Lóng Wei want to ask me?” Ai Fen was curious to know.

“Princess Ai Fen, Huang Xi did a lot for me for the past few months. He has been a great friend to me. I would like to know why did Princess Ai Fen reject his feelings? I never saw him this low,” Lóng Wei didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked her.

“I didn’t know Commander Huang Xi would go to Brother Lóng Wei,” Ai Fen said with a slight annoyance in her tone.

“Huang Xi didn’t come to me,” Lóng Wei said. “We met at the palace gates. I asked him why he looked low. Then, he told me. I merely want to know the reason so that he would not be lost for more time. As Princess Ai Fen knows that I am leaving tomorrow evening, so before that, I want to make sure that everything turns out well,” Lóng Wei explained to her.

“Brother Lóng Wei never gets interested in other people’s matters,” Ai Fen said.

“For my people I do. The people who always believed me,” Lóng Wei asserted. “Is it because Huang Xi refused Jingfei’s feelings that Princess Ai Fen say that to him?” He himself gave the reason and waited for Ai Fen’s response.

“Yes. I think Huang Xi doesn’t respect the feelings of a person. So, I don’t like him. I will be glad if Brother Lóng Wei tells Commander Huang Xi,” Ai Fen affirmed.

.....

Lóng Wei chuckled. “Princess Ai Fen should have been truthful to him. I won’t tell him since he will get hurt,” he asserted and stood up to leave.

“Brother Lóng Wei doesn’t consider me as his sister. He accepted everyone around him,” Ai Fen said with a bothered look.

“I have accepted everyone around me. That’s why the royal family is alive,” Lóng Wei stated and walked out of the chamber.

He reached his manor soon and saw Li Hua sitting at the stairs outside the manor. She had a stick in her hand and was drawing a random figure on the ground.

She saw Lóng Wei’s feet and raised her head.

“What are you doing outside?” Lóng Wei asked her and approached her. He bent a little and placed his hands on her arms before pulling her up.

“I was waiting for His Highness,” Li Hua said.

“Outside?” He arched his eyebrow and asked her where Nuan Xi was.

“I sent her to take some rest as she was not feeling well,” Li Hua said and scooped her arm around Lóng Wei’s arm. “Let’s go inside. We need to pack our stuff,” she said and dragged him inside.

Lóng Wei saw that Li Hua had already made three stacks of different kinds of outfits.

“The first stack of clothes will be used when His Highness needs to go out on some special occasions; the second stack has those outfits which His Highness will wear in everyday life and the third stack has those set of attires which he will wear at the night time,” Li Hua explained to him.

“You already prepared so much,” Lóng Wei said and asked her what about her clothes.

“My outfits are in my chamber,” Li Hua replied.

Lóng Wei hummed and hung his arm around her. He pulled her close and said, “It will be fun to live away from the troubles. I was thinking if we should start thinking of having kids. What do you say?”

Li Hua playfully hit Lóng Wei’s chest. “After I turn nineteen we can have kids,” Li Hua stated and blushed.

“That’s not far,” Lóng Wei said and kissed her cheek. He hooked his hand around her neck and turned her face to his.

He sucked her bottom lip and then her upper lip, kissing her deeply. Li Hua wrapped her arms around his neck when he lifted her and walked into the bedchamber.

On the bed, Li Hua had her arms on Lóng Wei’s chest while his hand was in her hair.

“What did Prince Lóng Wei do outside?” Li Hua inquired.

“I went to the administrative office first with Brother Mingquan to tell him about the work. Later, I was with Feng Lao and Xiwan,” Lóng Wei asserted.

“Feng Lao will accompany us,” Lóng Wei told his decision of taking Feng Lao with him to Li Hua. She was stunned to hear him as she thought he would not let anyone come with them except his father.

“Why?” Li Hua asked.

“Because he asked me to,” Lóng Wei said. “I couldn’t refuse him as it seemed to me a better choice to take him with us,” He reasoned.

“So, we four people will be going on this journey,” Li Hua said.

“Hmm.”

“I thought if Feng Lao stayed here, Princess Xiaolian might have a chance with him,” Li Hua murmured.

“Xiaolian isn’t suited for Feng Lao,” Lóng Wei stated.

“How can Prince Lóng Wei say that?” Li Hua inquired.

“Because I know Feng Lao better than you do,” Lóng Wei stated.

“Really?” Li Hua asked.

“Yes,” Lóng Wei stated.

“What if that night I got engaged to him?” Li Hua asked him with a smirk.

“Then, I would have made sure to break it,” Lóng Wei stated, “I didn’t have let you marry him. You might have hated me then.”

“His Highness is right. I might have hated him if he forced me that time,” Li Hua agreed with him.

“Yuze would have helped me,” Lóng Wei stated.

“Father didn’t like the palace,” Li Hua said.

“Qiu Zedong forced him not to let his daughter marry me,” Lóng Wei said. “If everything would be alright, Yuze had convinced his student, Xu Guang Li, to give your hand to me in the marriage,” he asserted.

“My father used to say everything happens for a reason. I realized the essence of that statement when I married Prince Lóng Wei. Sometimes, I feel, I did wrong with Feng Lao,” Li Hua suddenly turned upset.

“Feng Lao also did wrong by staying quiet. But when it comes to family even the most honest person has to turn quiet,” Lóng Wei said.

“We talked about his life today. Feng Lao told a lot of things to me. I was also harsh at him in the beginning. He is a man of principles. I want his happiness, which is the main reason I want him to accompany us on this journey,” Lóng Wei pronounced with a smile.
