The Princess And The Lord

Lory smiles sweetly at Zhao Li Xin, her wavy bluish-black hair framed her delicated face creating a clear contrast that made her skin look fairer just like snow, but what was even more striking was her beautiful gem-like eyes that glistening like gems stone under the sunlight.

Zhao Li Xin was completely mesmerized by her, and when he sees her sultry red lips it took everything he got not to pounce her right there and then 'What a pain' Zhao Li sighed inwardly, His princes became more beautiful every day as she grew mature.

Zhao Li Xin walked towards him with a faint smile blooming on his handsome but cold face, when he saw him smile, it instantly brightened up his bad mood "You feed fish ..."

"Hm, I've never seen a Koi fish this big before ..." Lory threw the dry food into the pond, and immediately a bunch of giant Koi fish swarmed the food eagerly.

"If you like I add more fish so you can play with it" his hand reached to the side of Lory's face then he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear "By the way, you look very beautiful today" her voice deepened as she gazes deeply at Lory's face, deep down Zhao Li Xin contemplate whether he should make a mask for Lory, just in cased  Lory decides not to use shapeshifting spells anymore.

Lory who didn't notice his possessive gaze toward her, smile from ear to ear "You like it, Xi Ying help me to dressed me up, but I think she's having more fun than me, do I look good?" Lory laugh didn't notice Zhao Li burning desire hidden in his eyes.

He wanted to say that he had never seen a woman more beautiful than him but instead, he said: "Madam Li did a good job ..." he found it strange to actually praise another woman other than Lory for the first time.

Lory finally realized there was something wrong with Zhao Li Xin. "What's the matter, stomach ache?" Her eyes widened anxiously "Is it Lazarus cursed, do you feel something strange in your chest, do you heard word voice in your head, did you had nightmares, have you been feeling annoyed lately…?" Lory rains him with multiple questions in one breath.

Zhao Li Xin's slow answer made her panic so he threw the fishbowl into the grass then quickly placed her hand on Zhao Li Xin's chest to examine the black mana residue inside Zhao Li Xin's body, luckily she didn't feel anything.

Zhao Li Xin chuckles when he sees how worry Lory was, he held Lory's hand then comfort her gently "I'm fine - I'm fine, don't worry I don't experience anything like that, but if you ask me if I get annoyed lately, well…. it's an inevitable situation for me...you know how annoying my subordinates could be" he clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Zhao Li Xin and Lory walked hand in hand across a small bridge that led them to a pavilion that looked like it was floating in the middle of a pond, she brewed Lory's favorite tea then sat next to it. Lory accepted her tea happily because the tea brewed by Zhao Li Xin tasted much better than the tea brewed by other people.

Lory blow the porcelain teacup carefully before slowly sipped the tea, Lory then peered at Zhao Li Xin "Did you have a conversation with your master?" she started the conversation.

Zhao Li Xin took out a wine flask and porcelain wine cup from his spatial ring then he poured himself a cup of wine before he said: "He's not my teacher anymore." he calmly replied.

"I thought you guys said, one day a teacher is a lifetime father" Lory squint her eyes curiously to see his reaction.

Of course, Zhao Li Xin's reaction was cold and dry as expected, "You know what I did to my own biological father right?" he raised his eyebrows.

Lory smile wryly "Yeahh…."

The sanguan family was ruined and Sanguan Jin Sheng, Sanguan Liu Wen, and Sanguan Wu Ci were dead, even though not by Zhao Li Xin's hands but clearly, he was contributed to their demise.

Since she met Zhao Li Xin for the first time she knows how willful Zhao Li Xin could be, he never follows anyone's rules, he didn't care about common sense or people's opinion, he does whatever he wanted and goes wherever he wanted, he was free and unrestrained.

Someone like Zhao Li Xin could not possibly be controlled, which was why Lory never tried to interfere with Zhao Li Xin's matters and she never imposed her opinion because she was worry it would only annoyed Zhao Li Xin, she preferred to use persuasion and compromise when she voices her opinion, however, but Lory didn't realize that she didn't need to do at all because for Zhao Li Xin Lory was his one and only exception.

Zhao Li Xin's frowning expression gave Lory enough information, "Soo ... the conversation didn't go well?" Lory pursed her lips with a hint of guilt on her face, she could guess the reason why they were fighting.

"It's not like it's your fault, we usually clash from time to time, so it's nothing new." Zhao Li Xin calmly explained.

"Lies, it's because of me, right ?!" Lory poked Zhao Li Xin's cheek, "Your master saw what I could do and my 'real' face, and I think it startled him and made him wary of me."

"My master is never been a good judged of people characters, after all, other people's opinions mean nothing for me" Zhao Li Xin leaned his head on his fist with a lazy manner while his other hand fiddle Lory's fingers.

"I know, I just think you don't have to be so hard on your master, his reaction was normal. I was blessed that You, Bei li yan, jin Hao and the others accept my….peculiarity easily, but I should not forget that master Tian reaction was a normal reaction of common people, so I don't take it to the heart and you shouldn't too"

I do not agree! He interrupted "Why do you have to endure other people's judgments, you are my wife Lory and you don't need to accept other people's persecution, because I won't allow it, I will never allow it for as long as I live, you understand that?!" Zhao Li Xin's expression hardened as she rebuked Lory sternly.

Even though she was scolded, but Lory knew she showed her unwavering devotion towards her, Lory's cheeks turned bright red, she looked down and smiled shyly, "I know, it's just that ... your master is the one who cares for you and guides you during your time. still young so it's a shame if you two fight because of minor issues…. "

"You are not minor issues, Lory" Zhao Li Xin cut again "In this world, nothing is more important than you not even myself so I don't want you to underestimate your position." Zhao Li Xin showed his utter dissatisfaction.

Although Zhao Li Xin scolded her Lory feel warm inside "Okay…Sorry"

"If you really sorry then kiss me," he said out of the blue.

"Wait…What?" he surprised by Zhao Li Xin's blunt request.

Zhao Li Xin smiled mischievously "We've been busy because of the Sanguan family and Lao Min Na problem, you realized we haven't spent time together…together," he said with a suggestive gaze that Lory knows too well.

"Don't look at me like that" Lory glare at him.

"Like what?" Zhao LI Xin smiles while pulling her chair closer to him until there's no space between them.

Lory could smell his masculine scent, the combination of agarwood, pines, and perhaps a hint of pheromone because her heart beating wildly it's impossible Zhao Li Xin didn't hear it "Don't do that!" Lory gives him a defiant look.

If only she knows it only enticed him to tease her more, "Do What?" he leaned towards her until only an inch between them.

Lory held her breath as Zhao Li Xin's dark eyes stare deeply into her eyes "Do anything and everything for you…"

The corner of his lips curved distinctively "Is that bad?"

"Bad for heart my" Lory gulped as Zhao Li Xin's lips moved closer to her.

When Zhao Li Xin pressed his lips into hers, she realizes how much he missed his kiss, Lory reciprocated his kiss passionately then her arms unconsciously circle around his neck. Her honest reaction make Zhao Li Xin delighted, he holds Lory heads gently while his other hand circle around her waist as he pulled her closer until no gap between them.

However when their Lord enjoyed their sweet time, the housekeeper was looks trouble, he looks at Mong Yi with a pleading look "Can you be the one who delivered the message?"

"And die miserably?" he said sarcastically.
