Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 249 - My Love And Devotion

Chapter 249 - My Love And Devotion

Ying Lili lifted her head upon hearing the voice of Sheng Li. Before their gaze could meet, she quickly averted her gaze from the Crown Prince and turned her back towards him.

Sheng Li found that he hurt Ying Lili and cursed himself internally. Moving a little closer to Ying Lili, Sheng Li placed his hand on her shoulder, but she jerked it off. "Lili, please forgive me," Sheng Li again apologized but did not get any response from her.

He went towards her side so that he could face her. "I should not have gotten angry at you. Forgive me." He joined both hands as he apologized to her.

Ying Lili stood up from the ground and was going away when Sheng Li caught her wrist, thus, stopping her. He stood up and gently brought her closer to him. "Lili, I do not feel good when you get angry. I know I made the mistake but-"

"Go away," Ying Lili sharply said, releasing his grip from her. "You think your wife likes to flirt with the other men. I think there's not enough understanding between us." While speaking, her eyes turned watery. "Sheng Li, I will not forgive you this time because you have hurt me," Ying Lili pronounced.

"Lili, I did not mean that. Let's go to the chamber first. Then, fight with me. Rumors will spread if people will see us," Sheng Li worriedly said.

"I am not going anywhere. Let the rumors spread. Let them know what this Prince thinks about his wife," Ying Lili affirmed and turned her back towards him. She crossed her arms and looked at the vast lake. Sheng Li had no other way now, except to carry her to the chamber.

Ying Lili was in deep thoughts which were halted when Sheng Li carried her up in his arms. This angered Ying Lili. "Leave me," she shouted and asked for help from Court Lady Xu.

"Court Lady Xu, do not intervene as it is between a husband and a wife," Sheng Li pronounced, grinning at Ying Lili who was glaring at him.

"Leave me if you do not want to get beaten up by my hands," Ying Lili threatened Sheng Li who smiled.

"I would love to get beaten by the hands of my Wildcat." He started walking while Ying Lili kept hitting him on his shoulders, sometimes chest but this did not stop him. He was enjoying it because no one ever got angry with him like this.

As Sheng Li was ascending the stairs of his manor, he almost lost his balance as Ying Lili was still hitting him. Ying Lili shouted in fear when Sheng Li wavered. The soldiers standing there took a peek and smiled. "You want me to get hurt. Can't you walk properly? Just leave me," Ying Lili again fought with him.

"I do not want you to get hurt, that's why I am carrying you like this. I am walking carefully, but then an angry Wildcat keeps hitting me. I cannot leave you," Sheng Li answered Ying Lili and again resumed walking.

Soon, they reached the chamber. "Do not disturb us. Don't come inside even if you hear something. Just keep your ears shut," Sheng Li told Xing-Fu and walked in with Ying Lili.

Removing their shoes, he put Ying Lili gently on the bed. Ying Lili got down from the bed as she wanted to go to her manor when Sheng Li caught her by holding her arm. "I do not want to stay here," she told him.

"One enters and leaves from here with my permission," Sheng Li stated. Ying Lili glanced at him and pulled her arm back from his grip.

"Now, beat me up," Sheng Li proclaimed.

Ying Lili turned her gaze away. "Earlier you never got angry like this," Sheng Li stated.

"Earlier we had no love. Your words did not matter to me," Ying Lili pronounced. Sheng Li realized that he indeed hurt Ying Lili today. He should not have said that. His heart ached when he saw tears rolling down Ying Lili's cheek. He promised himself not to make Ying Lili cry, but he was the one who broke it.

He went to her and wiped off her tears. "Don't cry. I accept my mistake. I should not have said that."

"What if you say the same thing tomorrow?" Ying Lili questioned him.

"I won't. I promise," Sheng Li stated.

"The First Brother said that he is happy that you married me," Ying Lili asserted. "He said he is guilty of his past mistakes," she added. It was unbelievable for Sheng Li that Jian Guozhi spoke like this.

"You still do not trust your wife fully. Now, don't come to me until you are truly sorry. If you cannot stand seeing me talking with the other men, then it is your eyes fault," Ying Lili proclaimed. She wiped the tears from her cheeks and pushed Sheng Li away to walk out of the chamber when she was back hugged by Sheng Li.

"I know that I did wrong. I trust you more than I trust myself. It is just that I do not trust others. Don't go away," Sheng Li tightened his grip around Ying Lili.

Ying Lili did not respond this time. She knew that Sheng Li would again repeat the same mistake.

"I will hold you like this until you forgive me. I will not let you go away," Sheng Li affirmed. "There are several things in my mind regarding Brother Jian. He helped us even in the forest, by killing those assassins. That's why it was confusing for me why he did that. I thought that he had feelings for you. That's why he went against the wishes of his mother. I am sorry for hurting you like this. It is my fault that I thought like that," Sheng Li accepted his mistakes again and apologized.

"Prove to me then that you will never think like this! You raised doubt on my loyalty to you; on my love and devotion to you. I am not a woman of many desires. If I can trust my husband in everything, then why can't he? I am afraid, Sheng Li, but I will not forgive you until you prove to me," Ying Lili affirmed and got away from him.

Sheng Li was confused. How could he prove that? He was indeed loyal to her, and he believed her. It was a slip of tongue.

"Do not come to Zhenzhu Inn until you find the answer and truly realize that you did wrong," Ying Lili left the chamber, leaving Sheng Li in dismay.
