518 I have charms
Lóng Wei stepped out of the carriage and left for his manor. After removing the overcoat, he went to see Li Hua. To his surprise, he found out that she wasnât present in the chamber. Even the maidservant wasnât around, so he decided to wait for her.
He looked at the table on which he saw the sword. âIs she practicing these days?â Lóng Wei murmured and went to the patio. He looked up at the sky and missed Yuze.
âHe left me in the most unexpected way,â he said and sighed. He lowered his head and blankly stared at the space before him. Lóng Wei had less time to correct everything.
âYour Highness, Miss Kang has come to see you,â Lóng Wei heard a masculine voice and turned to look. It was a soldier and it made him arch his brow.
Lóng Wei wondered if he should allow her to meet him or not.
âPardon me, Your Highness. I did not find the prince in his chamber, so I came here. There was no servant outside either,â the soldier said with a frightened look. He was trembling in fear because of Lóng Wei.
âBring her to the guest chamber,â Lóng Wei stated and the soldier complied with his order.
Lóng Wei soon reached the guest chamber, where Cha Ying was present. She stood up to see him and greeted him.
âThank you for allowing me to see Your Highness,â Cha Ying said and found Lóng Wei had taken the seat.
.....
âWhat do you want? If it is about your father, then I cannot help you,â Lóng Wei replied.
âIf my father has done wrong, then I will not ask for His Highnessâs help,â Cha Ying answered.
âLet me tell you, then. Your father has indeed done so many wrong things,â Lóng Wei stated. Cha Ying lowered her eyes and clasped her hands together which Lóng Wei noticed.
âIt feels terrible to find out that your father, your elder brother turned out to be the devils in human disguises,â Lóng Wei remarked. Cha Ying could not deny that statement.
âI do not want the rest of us to suffer because of my fatherâs and brotherâs faults,â Cha Ying said and looked at him.
âYou should go to Prince Mu. He can better help you in this matter rather than me. I have no intention to help the Kang family. I wanted to help, but Kang Huijuan betrayed me, so I have decided to step back,â Lóng Wei explained to him.
Cha Yingâs eyes were filled with tears, but she didnât let them fall down. This was a vulnerable period for her. If the title was snatched from her father, the Kang familyâs reputation would be ruined too.
âIf you have done wrong, you have to bear the consequences of it. The same is happening with your father and brother. You cannot stop people from gossiping, so it is better for you to shut your ears. The Kang Family can turn better by doing good work too if they want,â Lóng Wei advised her.
Cha Ying peered at him and nodded her head. âI will marry Prince Mu soon. However, I do not want to leave my family behind when they are in such a tough phase,â she stated.
âSo? Do you want to delay the marriage?â Lóng Wei asked.
âI think I should not marry. However, my father will be angry if I donât marry Prince Mu. I donât know why I am telling all this to Prince Lóng Wei,â she chuckled as she wiped the tears from the pad of her fingers.
âI cannot comment on this,â Lóng Wei refused to say anything as it could lead to a rift between him and Qiu Mu, which he didnât want to happen.
âI understand,â Cha Ying said and told him that she should leave. Lóng Wei hummed and she turned from him.
âCha Ying, do what your heart says,â Lóng Wei affirmed. She again looked at him and found the encouragement which she had been looking for. There was not a single person to support her decision and her heart had already told her that she didnât want to marry Qiu Mu at the current moment.
She thanked Lóng Wei again for listening to her and walked away.
Lóng Wei decided to go back to Li Huaâs chamber and came out when he found Cha Ying in the corridor. âYou didnât leave,â Lóng Wei said.
âI have to say something to His Highness,â Cha Ying stated.
âHmm?â
âI wish I would have chosen Prince Lóng Wei at the very beginning. I wish I was the first woman to hold His Highnessâs hand,â Cha Ying stated.
Lóng Wei chuckled to hear her. âBut I would not have chosen you nor would I have let you hold my hand,â he said.
âHis Highness rejected me so easily,â Cha Ying muttered. She saw Li Hua had come from behind Lóng Wei and she bowed to her.
Lóng Wei turned to look and see Li Hua. A smile appeared on his lips and he dashed to her. âWhere were you? I waited so long,â he said. He totally had forgotten that Cha Ying was still present there.
Li Hua looked at Cha Ying, who left from there. She gazed at Lóng Wei and asked him why Cha Ying proposed to him.
âYou heard?â Lóng Wei asked in astonishment.
âYes,â Li Hua replied.
âI do not know. She randomly said that,â Lóng Wei stated.
âWhat was she doing here? What did she talk about with His Highness?â Li Hua questioned.
Lóng Wei decided to tease Li Hua.
âCha Ying asked me to marry her,â Lóng Wei. âI told you I have charms to sway anyoneâs heart,â he praised himself and smiled proudly.
Li Hua hit his arm and asked him if he had already started to look at other women. âHow could you do this to me?â She inquired when Lóng Wei held her wrist. She raised the other hand but he caught it too.
He put them behind her back and pulled her up. âLeave me,â she struggled in his grip.
âI do not plan to,â Lóng Wei said and kissed her hard.
