574 I want his happiness
âBrother Lóng Wei never came to see me before,â Ai Fen said. âWill he like to drink the tea?â She asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThank you for asking, but I will not take the tea,â Lóng Wei replied. âI am here to ask something from the Second Princess,â He asserted.
âWhat does Brother Lóng Wei want to ask me?â Ai Fen was curious to know.
âPrincess 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,â Lóng Wei didnât beat around the bush and directly asked her.
âI didnât know Commander Huang Xi would go to Brother Lóng Wei,â Ai Fen said with a slight annoyance in her tone.
âHuang Xi didnât come to me,â Lóng Wei said. âWe 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,â Lóng Wei explained to her.
âBrother Lóng Wei never gets interested in other peopleâs matters,â Ai Fen said.
âFor my people I do. The people who always believed me,â Lóng Wei asserted. âIs it because Huang Xi refused Jingfeiâs feelings that Princess Ai Fen say that to him?â He himself gave the reason and waited for Ai Fenâs response.
âYes. I think Huang Xi doesnât respect the feelings of a person. So, I donât like him. I will be glad if Brother Lóng Wei tells Commander Huang Xi,â Ai Fen affirmed.
.....
Lóng Wei chuckled. âPrincess Ai Fen should have been truthful to him. I wonât tell him since he will get hurt,â he asserted and stood up to leave.
âBrother Lóng Wei doesnât consider me as his sister. He accepted everyone around him,â Ai Fen said with a bothered look.
âI have accepted everyone around me. Thatâs why the royal family is alive,â 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 Weiâs feet and raised her head.
âWhat are you doing outside?â Lóng Wei asked her and approached her. He bent a little and placed his hands on her arms before pulling her up.
âI was waiting for His Highness,â Li Hua said.
âOutside?â He arched his eyebrow and asked her where Nuan Xi was.
âI sent her to take some rest as she was not feeling well,â Li Hua said and scooped her arm around Lóng Weiâs arm. âLetâs go inside. We need to pack our stuff,â she said and dragged him inside.
Lóng Wei saw that Li Hua had already made three stacks of different kinds of outfits.
âThe 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,â Li Hua explained to him.
âYou already prepared so much,â Lóng Wei said and asked her what about her clothes.
âMy outfits are in my chamber,â Li Hua replied.
Lóng Wei hummed and hung his arm around her. He pulled her close and said, âIt will be fun to live away from the troubles. I was thinking if we should start thinking of having kids. What do you say?â
Li Hua playfully hit Lóng Weiâs chest. âAfter I turn nineteen we can have kids,â Li Hua stated and blushed.
âThatâs not far,â 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 Weiâs chest while his hand was in her hair.
âWhat did Prince Lóng Wei do outside?â Li Hua inquired.
âI went to the administrative office first with Brother Mingquan to tell him about the work. Later, I was with Feng Lao and Xiwan,â Lóng Wei asserted.
âFeng Lao will accompany us,â 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.
âWhy?â Li Hua asked.
âBecause he asked me to,â Lóng Wei said. âI couldnât refuse him as it seemed to me a better choice to take him with us,â He reasoned.
âSo, we four people will be going on this journey,â Li Hua said.
âHmm.â
âI thought if Feng Lao stayed here, Princess Xiaolian might have a chance with him,â Li Hua murmured.
âXiaolian isnât suited for Feng Lao,â Lóng Wei stated.
âHow can Prince Lóng Wei say that?â Li Hua inquired.
âBecause I know Feng Lao better than you do,â Lóng Wei stated.
âReally?â Li Hua asked.
âYes,â Lóng Wei stated.
âWhat if that night I got engaged to him?â Li Hua asked him with a smirk.
âThen, I would have made sure to break it,â Lóng Wei stated, âI didnât have let you marry him. You might have hated me then.â
âHis Highness is right. I might have hated him if he forced me that time,â Li Hua agreed with him.
âYuze would have helped me,â Lóng Wei stated.
âFather didnât like the palace,â Li Hua said.
âQiu Zedong forced him not to let his daughter marry me,â Lóng Wei said. âIf everything would be alright, Yuze had convinced his student, Xu Guang Li, to give your hand to me in the marriage,â he asserted.
âMy 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,â Li Hua suddenly turned upset.
âFeng Lao also did wrong by staying quiet. But when it comes to family even the most honest person has to turn quiet,â Lóng Wei said.
âWe 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,â Lóng Wei pronounced with a smile.
