Chapter 62 - Consummate With You
Chapter 62 – Consummate With You
Ying Lili reached out her hand towards Sheng Li when he caught her wrist. Ying Lili looked into the eyes of Sheng Li which were turned reddened. Both kept staring into each other's eyes for a while. "I did not permit you to be a part of my pain," Sheng Li asserted. Ying Lili flinched her brows and removed his grip from her hand.
The crown princess sat on the swing beside Sheng Li as there was enough space for one person. Sheng Li turned his head to look at Ying Lili. "You are wrong. You permitted the moment you asked me to accompany you to this beautiful place. You permitted the moment you let me play the flute," Ying Lili's feather-like fingers touched the Sheng Li's right cheek. "You shall not cry on your birthday else late mother will feel the pain too seeing you like this," Ying Lili proclaimed, keeping a tiny smile on her lips.
Ying Lili moved to the left cheek and wiped the tears from there too and turned her pearly eyes back to Sheng Li's. She then pulled back her hand and put it on her lap. The crown princess turned her head and grabbed the rope on the swing with her left hand. "The place is of your mother, right? Brother Nianzu told me that no one is allowed to speak about this day. It must be hard to carry that pain inside your heart," Ying Lili pronounced and turned to look at Sheng Li.
Sheng Li was staring at Ying Lili. "Am I right? You became like this because you were frustrated as a child because you could not be able to save your mother," Ying Lili deduced.
Sheng Li slightly widened his eyes and chuckled. "You think too much. I was always like this. You are the only person who saw me like this. So, will you keep it a secret?" Sheng Li questioned in a stern expression.
"You shall say PLEASE, as you are making a request. Ahh, it is tough to see the mighty crown prince like this," Ying Lili teased Sheng Li a bit and observed his reactions.
Sheng Li moved his eyes over Ying Lili's face. "You must be enjoying seeing this state of mine," Sheng Li asserted.
"Of course! It is hard to see the crown prince like this," Ying Lili proclaimed and giggled. She placed her palm over her rosy lips to control her laughter. Sheng Li slightly smiled and averted his gaze.
"Why do we not revive this place again?" Ying Lili suggested Sheng Li who peered at her.
"I do not want to," Sheng Li replied. "I searched for that music you played for years. Today I let you see my that side which I did not want anyone to see," Sheng Li pronounced and stood up from the swing. He stepped forward when Ying Lili grabbed his hand, pulling him back.
Sheng Li wavered in step, but he balanced himself by grabbing the rope. He was half bent and his face was close to Ying Lili's. Both stared into the eyes of each other when Sheng Li immediately stood straight. "What were you doing?" Sheng Li annoyingly asked.
Ying Lili lowered her eyes. "I-I was making you sit on the swing. We have just come now. It is the place of your mother so, you shall spend more time here. I can play more music for you, if you want me to," Ying Lili politely said.
Sheng Li took the seat beside Ying Lili. "Why are you so good to me today?" Sheng Li asked. "If this is not a pity then what is this?!" Sheng Li amusingly asked.
"Why do you think it is a pity?" Ying Lili queried him. Sheng Li wanted to tell her, but the next moment, he changed his mind. "Just do not tell anyone about today and also about this place," Sheng Li requested Ying Lili.
The crown princess thought to tease the crown prince a bit more. "Why do you think I won't tell? Aren't we enemies? Enemies love to reveal the secrets of each other. If your brothers will know that the crown prince also cries" Ying Lili paused and noticed Sheng Li's facial expressions and gave a suppressed smile.
She stood up from the swing. "If they will that the crown prince also cries, then what will they think?" Ying Lili put her index finger near her chin and grinned at Sheng Li who snickered. The next second she was pulled down by the crown prince on his lap.
"Ahh," Ying Lili passed a low scream as she was pulled suddenly by the crown prince. The breeze started blowing and tiny petals of the cherry blossom flowers fell started falling from the giant tree from which the swing was hanging. Ying Lili's both hands were rested on Sheng Li's broad shoulders while Sheng Li's hand was around Ying Lili's waist.
Ying Lili felt nervous and pulled herself back, but Sheng Li did not let her go. The pin on her hair bun had loosened, and it fell on the swing, thus, her hair was opened. Ying Lili lifted her hand to tuck her hair strands behind her ear when Sheng Li grabbed her hair strands which were coming in front of Ying Lili's face. Sheng Li tucked them behind her ear. Ying Lili felt the Sheng Li's thumb touching her earlobe as he pulled it back.
Ying Lili gulped as her heartbeats started rising. Sheng Li brought his face closer to her. "You are indeed beautiful," Ying Lili heard Sheng Li. She felt his hot breath hitting against her lips. Ying Lili gazed into Sheng Li's eyes who were intensely gazing at her. "Do not tell anyone about today's incident if you do not want me to spend a night with you," Sheng Li pronounced.
Ying Lili widened her eyes and saw the smirk on Sheng Li's lips. "The Royal astronomer will come soon, and he will be going to suggest a day when I shall consummate with you for the Royal heir. Now, the only person who can stop this is ME so, you have to cooperate else…" Ying Lili covered Sheng Li's mouth with her palm, thus stopped him from speaking.
"I understood," Ying Lili stated. Sheng Li put her palm down and spoke, "I like this trait of yours." Sheng Li brushed the back of his index finger against Ying Lili's nose and passed her a smile before letting her go.
