Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

138 I would have kidnapped you

Lóng Wei brought his hand to her waist and drew her for a hug. “You don’t need to see the dungeon. You need to first focus on your revenge. It is not the right time to know about me.” His other hand went to the top of her head.

“Why?” Li Hua moved her head back and lifted it to look at him. “Since we are in the cold palace, it is the right time to know everything about you,” Li Hua said.

“In the imperial palace, everyone asks His Majesty to send you to the cold palace without knowing how tough it is. When we return, I want to tell them My Husband is human too. He doesn’t deserve that kind of treatment.” Li Hua was determined to fight for Lóng Wei and stood by his side.

“Your Highness, after finding answers here, we will return to the capital. Then, we will bring the evil face of the Prime Minister’s son because of whom you have to suffer,” Li Hua opined.

Lóng Wei’s heart fluttered upon hearing Li Hua’s words. That caring side of Li Hua because of which he fell for her. The day he met her for the first time was a hard day for him. He indeed wanted to feel nothing. He felt it was unfair that the King didn’t try to find out why he beat Kang Xi’s son.

“Only you do not look at me with disgust,” Lóng Wei stated. “I cannot help but fall for you,” he confessed.

Li Hua felt her tongue-tied from his words. He again admitted his feelings for her. “The first time we met and I brought you out of the water, what came up in His Highness’s mind?” Li Hua asked.

“I thought, who tried to pull me out, who tried to touch me? Who had the dare to kiss me? Why did this woman not want me to die?” Lóng Wei told her the questions that appeared in his mind at that moment.

“His Highness acted well. Also, that was not the kiss. That is a method to save someone, who gets drowned in the water,” Li Hua affirmed.

.....

“But I did not drown. I was alive and safe. That’s why for me that was definitely a kiss,” Lóng Wei proclaimed, “the first kiss.”

“Then, how did His Highness find me?” Li Hua went towards the tree beside the lake and rested her back on it. Her arms crossed in front of her chest. “The town is so big with many houses,” she stated.

“I chased you,” Lóng Wei replied.

Li Hua gaped at him in bewilderment. “In those wet clothes? Wasn’t His Highness cold? My father scolded me a lot that day. I jumped into the water in the wintertime, and the next day I got cold. What about His Highness? Did he get sick?” Li Hua was curious to know.

“I didn’t get sick. I have a tough body,” Lóng Wei complimented himself.

“Is His Highness lying?” Li Hua wasn’t ready to believe it. It was cold that day. Though the sky was clear, the weather was cold.

“I am not lying,” Lóng Wei affirmed. “You have a weak body. That’s why you got sick,” he stated.

“No. I have a strong immune system. The weather was cold. I don’t get sick in the summertime,” Li Hua stated. She didn’t like it when Lóng Wei said that her body was weak.

“The Xu Residence was well secured from the front. I don’t think His Highness sneaked in that day,” Li Hua concluded.

“Of course. I need to prepare myself to see you. My thoughts were too disoriented at that time.” He recalled the time when he chased Li Hua to her residence. His mind was entirely occupied by her. Everything about her was special to him.

“Then, how did His Highness orient his thoughts? What preparation did he make? Did he ever enter the residence?” Li Hua’s curiosity kept increasing. Lóng Wei walked to her and halted in front of her.

“I never oriented my thoughts for you. It is good to see myself restless for you.” He smirked and was ready to answer the rest of the questions. “I had to hide myself well to enter the residence. Also, I needed a fake ID to enter,” he replied.

Li Hua was shocked to hear him. She wasn’t expecting Lóng Wei could enter the residence.

“When did His Highness enter the residence? How did he enter my house?” Li Hua questioned.

“After two days of seeing you. I entered as a servant. You were playing with some of the young ladies present in your residence,” Lóng Wei answered and stepped close to her. She rested her hand on one side of Li Hua, on the tree trunk, and beamed into her eyes.

“Do you want to know what happened next?” Lóng Wei asked.

Li Hua nodded her head.

“Cladded in the white silky gown, with two beautiful golden hairpins on the left side of the hair, your long shiny hair was swinging with that cold breeze. That sight of yours mesmerized me. I think that’s why your father did not allow you to go out. Men would have gone crazy to see you daily.” Lóng Wei took a few hair strands in his hand and inhaled the scent from them.

Li Hua was astonished to hear his words. He observed too many things about her.

Her heartbeats picked up speed, and she felt his hot breath fanning against her ear. “Do you want to hear more?” He asked. Li Hua hummed and narrowly gazed at him.

“In the evening, you were lighting a lantern. Your personal attendant was asking you not to do that. Still, you were not listening to her. As you moved your hands up, your sleeves moved down. The white-milky hands peeked out from them. Your smile brightened as yellow light fell on your pretty face. It seemed that I was looking at a jade beauty from heaven.” Lóng Wei pronounced. His fingers continued to play with her hair.

“So, His Highness was stalking me. If my father and brothers had found out about His Highness, then they would have beaten you,” Li Hua remarked.

“I would have revealed my real identity and proposed to marry you,” Lóng Wei asserted, and he brought his face in front of hers.

“My father would have refused,” Li Hua said, with a confident tone.

“Then, I would have,” he further lowered his face, leaving a hair strand distance between their lips, “kidnapped you.”
