356 Will fall in Danger [Bonus chapter]

Li Hua was once again stunned by Lóng Wei’s words. They were full of pain and complaints. She pondered if she should tell him what Hei Chengxi told her. Perhaps, he would get curious about why his mother behaved oddly with him.

“Your Highness, you told me that if there’s someone you trust a lot, it’s me.”

Lóng Wei thought about why she was speaking that way,but he agreed with her statement.

“Then, will His Highness trust me this time and for once think the second way?” She arched her eyebrows. “I know your mother has hurt you, but she would be more hurt to act that way every time her son came to her.” She slowly forwarded her hand and rested it above Lóng Wei’s back palm.

“More than me, no one can understand my husband. I know that somewhere, Prince Lóng Wei also wants to know this. He always says that he hated his mother, but that night he decided to free his mother from the heavy burden she carried for so many years. His Highness truly cared for her till her last breath, despite knowing the fact that he would be hanged to death.” Li Hua calmly talked to him. She didn’t want Lóng Wei to think that she had failed to relate to him.

“Did you meet Hei Chengxi?” Lóng Wei frowned at her and pulled his hand away.

Li Hua was shocked for a few seconds. She thought to lie to him.

“Since I trust you, you must not lie to me,” Lóng Wei stated. He had fisted his palms, which Li Hua noticed. She knew he was infuriated. “Why did you meet him?” Lóng Wei’s gaze turned murderous. It appeared to Li Hua that he would shout at him.

“Your Highness, I-” She couldn’t complete her words as he interrupted her in the middle.

.....

“Leave!” Lóng Wei exclaimed, taking deep breaths. “I don’t want to get angry at the woman I love. So, better leave,” he said, and stood up from his place. He turned to go to the patio when Li Hua rushed after him. She caught his hand and asked him to stop.

“His Highness cannot ask me to leave,” Li Hua said. She knew it would increase his temper, but she was ready to face it too. After all, he was her husband. If she left now, then she would never be able to communicate with him. Even if he fought with her or berated her, she would not leave.

“I won’t leave,” Li Hua stated, and she went to his front to face him. Their eyes met. His eyes were still radiating a murderous look, while her eyes were calm and full of care for him.

“Don’t stay near me at the moment. I may hurt you. I don’t want it to happen. So, just leave my sight,” Lóng Wei said, clutching the fingers of his right hand tightly while pulling his left hand from her grip.

He almost pulled it away when Li Hua again caught it. “Because we love each other, we can hurt each other as well. Hurt me if you want to. But don’t ask me to leave,” Li Hua said with a determined voice and also dropped the honorifics with him. “I will hold you tightly if you shout at me, but unlike the last time, I won’t leave. If you think that I also do not understand you, then you are wrong. Because I understand you, because I love you, I want to unveil the curtain of the bitter truth,” she asserted.

Lóng Wei gradually calmed down to hear her. He was himself astonished to feel that. “There is no need to do that. Your husband doesn’t want you to uncover anything. You don’t understand anything,” Lóng Wei stated, and rested his palm on her right cheek.

“Then, make me understand,” Li Hua said.

Lóng Wei continued to stare into her eyes. “If I find the truth about my father, what do you think will happen? Do you think the current king, whom I call father, is a foolish person? He has spies everywhere. He didn’t overthrow the previous king merely because he had the support, but because he possessed a well-established network of spies. Many lives associated with me will fall in danger. That’s why let’s forget what happened in my past. Hei Chengxi thinks it’s easy to get over everything. However, it’s not,” Lóng Wei explained to her well. He continued stroking her cheek gently and then pulled her into a hug.

His chin rested on her shoulder as he said, “She also wanted to past to remain buried. When she never had the dare to say it, then I am no one to say it. As much as I cared for her, I hated her too. I still despise her for playing with the heart of her only son. That’s the only thing I know and you also must keep this in your mind,” Lóng Wei urged her.

Li Hua didn’t force him anymore. He was more experienced than she was. She would not want to make any mistakes in a hurry and endanger the life of Lóng Wei.

“Forgive me for almost shouting at you,” Lóng Wei said, and slowly retreated back. Li Hua shook her head and told him not to say that.

“Shall we play something? If His Highness isn’t tired,” Li Hua suggested to him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“No. I am not tired. What do you want to play?” He asked.

“Umm...how about a board game?” She asked him enthusiastically.

“Board game? Umm... It sounds interesting.” Lóng Wei agreed to play with her. “But the loser will have to do something,” he added.

“The loser has to dance,” Li Hua stated.

“Accepted.” Lóng Wei readily agreed with her. “I would love to watch you dance.”

“What if His Highness loses? He has to dance then,” she stated.

“I am an ace player of the board game,” Lóng Wei stated.

“Me too,” Li Hua said and crossed her arms with a grin on her lips.
