Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess arrived at the Palace. Sheng Li went to Zhenzhu Inn when they encountered Lei Wanxi just near the stairs of the Zhenzhu Inn. It was not surprising for Sheng Li that Lei Wanxi would be waiting for them.

"Brother Wanxi, you here? Is there something important you want to talk about?" Ying Lili queried.

"Yes, Sister Lili. I want to know if my dear brother confessed his feelings in the right way to you or not," Lei Wanxi proclaimed. Ying Lili smiled as she lowered her eyes. "Sister Lili is blushing, which means my dear brother admitted his feelings. Brother, you lost the bet against me." Lei Wanxi immediately pointed the fan towards Sheng Li, who looked at him confusedly.

"What kind of bet, Brother? May I know about that?" Ying Lili curiously looked for the answer.

"He is babbling. Don't listen to him. Go away from here," Sheng Li told Lei Wanxi as he motioned his hand in the air. He grabbed Ying Lili's hand to ascend the stairs with her, but Ying Lili did not move from her place. "I want to know," Ying Lili stated.

Quickly, Lei Wanxi came to Ying Lili's side, putting his hands behind his back. "Sister Lili, Brother used to be in love with… I won't take the name as you are smart."

"Wanxi," Sheng Li called out his name to stop him but he did not stop.

"So, Brother said that you are not beautiful enough to attract him. Your beauty can attract others but not him," Lei Wanxi quickly finished his words and ran away. "Sister Lili, Brother will beat me up if I stand there," Lei Wanxi said loudly while running. Soon, he vanished from their sight. Sheng Li found Ying Lili was glaring at him.

"Don't listen to him. He was lying," Sheng Li stated. "I don't know why did he…" Sheng Li saw Ying Lili had climbed the stairs without listening to him. Sheng Li walked behind her. "Lili, I did not say that. Are you angry at me?" Sheng Li questioned as the two kept climbing the stairs.

They reached outside the chamber. "Go away. I don't want to talk to you," Ying Lili said and walked in. She closed the sliding doors as she went in, baffling him. Court Lady Xu looked at the Crown Prince and then lowered her eyes. "Your highness, is everything alright? The Crown Princess seems angry."

Sheng Li did not say anything and walked in. He saw Ying Lili was on the chaise lounge; her body's entire weight was on her left elbow. She had removed her overcoat already.

One of her legs was stretched out while the other was touching the floor. Seeing Sheng Li there, she put her leg down and sat straight on the chaise lounge. "Why are you listening to him? I did not say that. He is just messing with us," Sheng Li stated and went further closer to her.

"Because I have heard this from you once. Can't I even be angry? My husband does not see me as a beautiful woman!" Ying Lili complained. Sheng Li sat on the chaise lounge beside her. He made her look at him. "That time I was lying to myself. I prefer inner beauty more but yes, you are beautiful," Sheng Li stated and tapped on her nose using his finger.

"I will not forgive you this time. I have the right to be angry at you," Ying Lili said and stood up, but Sheng Li pulled her down on the chaise. "Leave," Ying Lili pulled her hand back, as she peered at him.

"Don't you love me? Then why are you getting angry? That was the past," Sheng Li proclaimed.

Ying Lili knitted her brows. "In the present too, you did not admire me because of my beauty. Don't you think it's unfair to me? Not getting admiration from your husband but from other men. It takes me an hour to get ready daily yet my husband never compliments me," Ying Lili pronounced and made a pout. Sheng Li ended up chuckling as he found that Ying Lili wanted him to admire her beauty. She was not wrong, either. Sheng Li had never complimented her.

He lifted his finger and traced her eyebrows. Ying Lili lifted her eyes at this sudden action of Sheng Li. "What are you doing?" She asked confusedly when Sheng Li moved the finger down to her jawbone. Ying Lili's insides tingled, it happened to her whenever Sheng Li touched her like this.

"You have a beauty mole. Here," Sheng Li whispered, placing his thumb right beside the corner of her upper lips. "This enhances your beauty more. Your big eyes, rosy red lips always tempt me towards you but I control myself. So, you can see how much your beauty affects me. Even now, I am controlling myself," Sheng Li whispered and leaned towards her ear.

He kissed her right under her ear, and she closed her eyes. He leaned a little down and nuzzled the milky white skin of her neck. Sheng Li kissed her there, followed by a gentle bite and a lick which resulted in a moan from Ying Lili's mouth. His finger traced her collarbone and later moved to her nape.

He continued his torture on her neck. Ying Lili's mind was blowing up from the pleasure building inside her. A strange feeling was developing, which she experienced for the first time. Suddenly Sheng Li stopped; moved back, tracing her cheek with his nose, and soon their noses touched. He noticed how Ying Lili's chest was moving up and down just because of a few kisses on her neck.

Sheng Li placed the kiss on the corner of her upper lips, right at her beauty mark, and moved his lips over hers. He kissed her and moved back to look into her eyes. He again pulled her into a kiss, this time a more passionate one. Soon, he left his lips from hers and started stroking her hair. "This is the little that I showed you that I feel after I see you. I want to touch you, kiss you, and love you, but since you are young and inexperienced, I control myself to not hurt you in any way. We will take it slowly," Sheng Li asserted.
