34. Happy Family

Three Years Later

"Jie, is it true?!" Han Xin exclaimed to Meng Hua's face.

"Such a clueless man!" the queen teased her son and the others burst into laughter, except Meng Huo and Meng Hua who looked somewhat embarrassed.

Han Xin gritted his teeth and looked at his husband like a lost puppy, seeking explanation if not consolation.

"Don't look at me like that, I also learnt about it today," Meng Huo said with a low voice, rubbing his nape shyly and the second round of laughter erupted immediately.

"He was also clueless!"

"Match made in Heaven!"

The queen and the king continued with their harmless teasing, so Zhu Lei felt the responsibility to save her brothers.

"Ge, would you like some tea?" she asked randomly and Han Xin nodded as he slumped on the empty seat next to Meng Huo.

"So, when did it happen?" Han Xin asked as soon as Zhu Lei was seated again after serving him tea.

Meng Hua covered her blushed face and replied "when he saved me from the East."

"It was three years ago!" Han Xin almost shouted and Meng Huo choked on his tea. Cursing himself for startling his husband, the prince rubbed Meng Huo's back.

"Who would have guessed that you would fall in love with my spy?" Han Xin murmured in a daze and the third wave of laughter started.

"Anyone, other than you two!"

"Even I knew it," Wu Xin's proud voice was heard from the door, "I saw them exchanging letters many times!"

The rest was a mess.

The queen and the king were laughing to the point of crying while Zhu Lei was giving them water; Han Xin was trying to assure the siblings that it was fine while Wu Xin was insisting on playing the new song he learnt.

Unaware of the blithe atmosphere inside the hall, a tall young man was standing in front of the door with an anxious heart. Looking at his muscular body, tanned skin and neatly tied black hair, anyone could say he was a soldier. But, as he was wearing all black and his black eyes caught everything around, a keen eye could notice he was not an ordinary soldier.

After waiting for a while, this impatient soldier couldn't bear to wait outside any longer and decided to face his fate with courage.

"..."

All faces turned towards the door where Lu Ziyang was standing with a frown. Seeing the merry atmosphere in the room, the spy was shocked, but before long, it was replaced by hope.

"My queen, king, princes and princesses," Ziyang bowed three times, "although I betrayed your trust and crossed the line, I love princess Meng Hua and beg you to let us be together."

A short silence followed after his words, but then the spy found himself on the table, in between Meng Hua and Wu Xin.

"Why so serious? It is not that we are against love," Han Xin said nonchalantly as he grabbed Meng Huo's warm hand under the table.

"..." Both Meng Hua and Ziyang were tongue-tied. Was it really that simple? Then why did they waste so much time, hiding?!

"As long as you promise us to take care and cherish our daughter, we have no objection to your marriage," the queen said sweetly yet intimidatingly, and Ziyang threw himself on the floor, kneeling.

"I swear to love and protect Meng Hua until the day I die!"

"Such an enthusiastic one, ha?" the queen whispered to her husband's ear.

"He resembles Han Xin when he begged us to let him marry Meng Huo, don't you think?" the king replied with a smirk and they chuckled again.

With that, one more plate was placed on the table and the royal family gained one more member.

"I am so happy for my sister," Meng Huo said happily when they returned to their own palace.

"Show me."

"Hmm?" Meng Huo looked at his husband, puzzled.

"Show me how happy you are," Han Xin repeated with an allusive smile as he pushed Meng Huo on the mattress. "Let me share your happiness," he said seductively before he connected their lips.

Being responsive to Han Xin's seduction, Meng Huo circled his arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. Kissing, nibbling, sucking... Han Xin exploited Meng Huo's lips fully before his lips moved down to his neck. After leaving a few marks of ownership on the delicate skin and earning delicious moans from his husband, he continued to go down while his skillful hands got rid of Meng Huo's upper robe.

As usual, the prince's lips didn't miss any of the scars, but unlike the first time, Meng Huo was highly cooperative. He waited impatiently as his husband got rid of the remaining clothes and his body reacted lustfully as Han Xin's warm kisses were back on his soft skin.

"Hurry... up..." he almost begged in between his heavy panting, the stimuli too much for his sensitive body.

"I see you are very hungry, Meng Meng," Han Xin teased the trembling man, but obeyed him anyway.

Soon the room was filled with the voices of their love-making and it continued until the couple ran out of stamina.

"You are so wonderful... I can't get enough of you," Han Xin whispered into Meng Huo's ear after he gave him a bath and changed the sheets.

"I love you so much, my dear husband," Meng Huo replied groggily as he snuggled more to Han Xin's chest.

Han Xin smiled contentedly, "I love you too, love," he said and followed him to sleep.
