Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

Chapter 274

274 I was feeling Hot

Li Hua examined the wound on Lóng Wei’s back. “The wound is healing faster than usual. It will also leave a scar on His Highness’ body,” Li Hua said. She helped him wear the thin silk robe and reached for the knots on the robe.

Lóng Wei ducked his head and kissed her lips, completely surprising her.

“What is His Highness doing?” Li Hua smiled as her face flushed red. She tied the tiny knot on the robe while the smile continued to widen on her lips.

“Now, return the kiss,” Lóng Wei told her. Li Hua glanced at him and tiptoed to kiss him. However, she tilted her head and kissed him on the cheek.

She turned and walked ahead to the bedchamber.

“That’s cheating, Li Hua,” Lóng Wei said, and he followed her.

“His Highness didn’t tell me where to kiss. I thought to kiss on the cheek,” Li Hua said as she pulled down the curtains around the bed.

“When I kissed you on the lips, you should have done the same,” he proclaimed and grasped her wrist, which was holding the edge of the curtain. “I am here and you are focused on these curtains,” he complained.

“Why is His Highness getting angry?” Li Hua inquired. “It’s almost bedtime. If we sleep early, then we wake up early,” she affirmed.

.....

“I am not angry,” Lóng Wei said, and let go of her wrist. “Fine. Do what you were doing,” he stated. She caught his arm and, while her other hand went to the collar of the thin silk robe that he had put on. She kissed his lips while closing her eyes, while Lóng Wei was completely shocked by her action.

She pulled away and looked into his eyes. “Is His Highness happy now? I was merely teasing him and he got angry for no reason,” Li Hua said while smiling. She pulled her hand from his collar and walked to the other side of the bed to pull down the curtains.

Lóng Wei pursued her and hugged her from behind. He kissed her shoulder and then her earlobe. “You are good at teasing,” he whispered. Li Hua let go of the curtain’s rope and turned to face him.

“Am I really good?” Li Hua questioned.

“Uh-huh.” He kissed the tip of her nose. “I almost got upset and angry when you cheated and kissed my cheek instead of my lips,” he said and drew her close. “Am I overreacting?” He then asked.

“Indeed, His Highness is overreacting,” Li Hua said and put her hands on his. “Let me go,” she urged.

“Why? Do you have something more to work on?” He arched his brow.

“I need to remove the accessories. I cannot sleep in them. I need to change into something comfortable. This dress is heavy,” she opined. Lóng Wei moved his right hand above her head and removed the hair accessories one by one.

“Do you like hair clips?” Lóng Wei questioned her as he gently removed them before putting them down on the table.

“Yes. Who doesn’t like hair clips?” She mumbled.

“I will buy it for you,” Lóng Wei said, and gave her a smile. He let go of her hand, which was around her waist, and went behind her. “Does your head not ache from wearing so many accessories?” He always wanted to ask her, but it slipped his mind.

“It is in habit, Your Highness,” Li Hua answered. “Since I am married to the royal prince, I must wear all these hair accessories,” she replied.

“You can wear only one or two hairpins with two hair clips. Some of these accessories are unnecessary,” he complained as he again came to her front. He stroked her hair and then moved his fingers to her ear. He removed the earrings gently, and put them on the table beside the hair accessories.

“I will come after changing into night clothes,” Li Hua said and left the bedchamber.

When she returned, she saw Lóng Wei lying almost naked on the bed. The right temple of his forehead rested on his calloused fist, resting most of his body weight on his elbow. Only two candles and one lantern were glowing in the bedchamber, and she clutched her dress.

“His Highness removed the robe,” Li Hua said as she gradually moved to the bed.

“I was feeling hot,” Lóng Wei said, and he motioned with his hand to the mattress before him. “Come,” he said, with a smirk on his lips.

Li Hua gulped at seeing his naked upper body, and she wondered if he was fully naked. His lower half was covered in a thin sheet, so it was hard for her to determine if he was fully naked or not. She wasn’t even ready at the moment.

“Li Hua!” Lóng Wei pronounced her name, and she immediately came out of her thoughts. “Come and lie down here,” he said, keeping an amused smile on his lips.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Li Hua dragged her feet ahead and sat on the edge of the bed before getting into it. She laid down on the bed, and her eyelids flickered because of the nervousness. She was on the bed’s edge. If, for some reason, she slightly moved, then she would definitely fall on the ground.

Lóng Wei pulled her by placing his hand on her waist, and she stopped blinking. Her face was merely inches away from his chest, and she lifted her eyes to look at him.

“Why are you scared?” Lóng Wei asked her.

“I am not,” she answered, and ended up hiccupping. She covered her mouth with her hands and hiccuped again.

Lóng Wei chuckled and said, “Your body cannot lie.” He moved the sheets away and got down on the bed. He handed Li Hua a glass of water and asked her to drink it.

Li Hua immediately sat up and drank the water. She thanked him while he put the glass on the table. She found he wasn’t fully naked, and she took a breath of relief.

Lóng Wei turned to her and asked, “Are you scared of me?”

“No.” A prompt reply came from her.

“You looked scared when I asked you to come to bed,” Lóng Wei stated.

“I wasn’t scared,” Li Hua answered. She found he wasn’t satisfied with her reply. “I was nervous thinking His Highness was naked. I never saw him naked, so I was nervous,” she stated and pursed her lips together.

Lóng Wei burst out laughing and pinched her cheek. “Oh, Dear Wife! Why are you so cute?” He pulled her cheek and she ended up screaming. He withdrew his hand and continued to smile while Li Hua glared at him.

She moved close to him and pulled both his cheeks. “Ahhh!” Lóng Wei screamed as she continued to pull his cheeks. “I-it is hurting, Li Hua,” he managed to say while holding her wrists.

He tightly gripped her wrists and pinned her to the mattress. “That’s enough,” Lóng Wei said, and he shut his eyes in pain.
