239 A feeling of great Accomplishment
“I love you, Prince Lóng Wei,” Li Hua admitted her feelings for him. Earlier, when Lóng Wei was unconscious, and in pain, she realized how foolish she was to hide her true feelings for him. She didn’t want to let it happen anymore, so she told what was in her heart.
She kept her gaze intact on him. “I realized that it was not a mere liking or attraction towards His Highness, but something more, something deeper, and something unusual,” she said, holding her tears back, “the feeling of losing you, I cannot tolerate it. It’s indeed love, which made me so restless in the shortest period of time.”
Lóng Wei somehow moved his left hand which was in pain because of the injury he got on the left side of his back and put it on her cheek. “Li Hua, I am feeling overwhelmed at the present moment. If there is something I want, I desire for, I yearn for, that’s only you. It will always be you in my heart, in my mind, and trust me, this was the last time I put you in such a difficult situation.”
He chuckled as his lips broadened with a wide smile. His left hand from her cheek moved to her back as he pulled her into a hug. “I love you, Li Hua. Lóng Wei loves you madly. The only person for whom he can even give up on his life is you. Thank you for accepting me wholeheartedly,” he said.
Even the words were less to portray every single feeling he was getting at the moment.
“I am fully satisfied. It is the happiness from the satisfaction my heart just received. A feeling of great accomplishment, finally I got to taste,” he affirmed and pulled away.
He cupped Li Hua’s face and planted a soft kiss on the middle of her forehead. Li Hua’s heart hammered against her chest as his lips came close to her lips. “We can,” he raked his eyes on her face, “kiss, right? A kiss of becoming completely of each other.”
Li Hua nodded her head and closed her eyes. Lóng Wei kept the kiss gentle while his right hand moved to her waist. Li Hua’s wrists continued to rest on his shoulders and she returned his kiss.
“Your Highness, Assistant Chef Xiwan is here,” the maidservant replied.
.....
Li Hua immediately withdrew from the kiss. However, Lóng Wei pulled her back by putting his hand on the back of her head.
“He can wait, but I cannot,” he whispered before capturing her lips again. This time the kiss turned into a passionate one.
The maidservant from outside again informed them, but they were so engrossed kissing each other that they even stopped hearing them.
After a while, when they both ran out of breath, they pulled away gradually. Li Hua’s eyes remained closed as her chest heaved up and down.
“I will tell Xiwan to leave,” Lóng Wei said.
“No.” Li Hua stood up and quickly stepped back. “His Highness needs to eat something,” she said and went to the door.
“Fine, after eating, we will continue where we both left,” he stated with an amusing smile. He felt a slight pain as he moved his left arm.
Xiwan walked in with Li Hua and looked at Lóng Wei for a few seconds. “Greeting to Prince Lóng Wei. Please be careful next time. You troubled us all. From now on, I won’t follow His Highness’ command,” Xiwan said.
Lóng Wei smiled to hear him. “Thank you for doing what I told you.” He looked at Li Hua and found her glaring at him.
“What did Brother Xiwan do?” She asked.
“I spread among everyone that His Highness had gone out to catch Shui Xiaoqing with his son.” He stopped as Lóng Wei told him that he would tell Li Hua later.
“His Highness lies. Brother Xiwan, please tell me everything,” Li Hua requested him.
“I am hungry. Bring something good for me and also for Li Hua. I know she hasn’t taken food since the morning. Be careful because some people will be disappointed to find that I am still alive,” Lóng Wei ordered Xiwan. He gestured to him to leave and he complied with him.
“I will tell Brother Xiwan to send the meals in the manor. You should shift to the manor,” Li Hua said and turned to leave when Lóng Wei acted to cry in pain.
Upon hearing his cries, Li Hua got anxious and rushed to him. Even the maidservant entered the chamber, wondering if Lóng Wei was fine.
Li Hua asked him where he felt pain.
“Go and tell Xiwan to bring the meals to my manor,” Lóng Wei told the maidservant. She left the chamber and Lóng Wei turned relaxed.
Li Hua checked his wound and asked him where he felt the pain.
“It’s here,” Lóng Wei said and pointed a finger at the left side of his chest. Li Hua stood at his front and panicked thinking about what could probably be the reason.
“I shall call Physician Peng. Only he can tell the reason behind this pain,” she informed Lóng Wei. He caught her hand and asked her to sit before him.
“But, why?” She was perplexed by his sudden request.
“Because my pain will leave. Just stay here,” Lóng Wei said.
Li Hua understood that he pulled a prank on her. She sat in front of him and asked him, “You did it intentionally, right? Why did you spread the rumors through Brother Xiwan? Even the Fourth Brother did not know your plans fully. The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are being flogged because they let you go out.”
Lóng Wei was stunned to hear that Xiaoming and Mingquan were getting floggings. He thought their father would have given them a mild punishment.
Lóng Wei turned silent.
“I am not blaming His Highness. I blame myself for this cause. Your Highness, if the King gives me punishment tomorrow, please don’t intervene. If you love me, please respect my decision,” she stated.
“But the decision you are making isn’t good for you. So, I cannot agree to it,” Lóng Wei said with a serious tone. “Let’s go back to the manor.”
He didn’t want to talk about that anymore. He would not let Li Hua get punished for no reason.
