Inside the room behind the translucent curtains, two figures entangled in each other arms on the bed. The man looked at the girl under himself with red eyes. He had already removed his clothes. Only the upper part of his back was visible whilst the lower was covered with a blanket as he pressed the girl under himself who was still fully clothed.
Xi Ying didn't know why he had this urge and restlessness inside his heart to make her his in every possible way. Today was the first time he met her. But her eyes were so clear and deep that he knew he lost himself at the first sight. Now he could not see her eyes there was something in his heart compelling him to hide from everyone. Was it because he was drugged?
But he didn't have time to sort out these complicated thoughts. With no hesitation, he started removing her clothes from her body. The eyes which were lightly red turned dark because of desire. There was no hesitation in his actions as if possessing her was his right. When he removed the last clothing from her body his hand froze.
He saw a tear slipped through her left eye which disappeared in her black hair. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Immediately he wiped that tear. Removing her black hair from her face he gently kissed her forehead. As if the girl could sense his touch, more tears slipped through her eyes. Anxiously, he tried to wipe them but they didn't stop. He who had never glanced seriously at any female was so panicked on seeing her tears.
He kissed her very deeply that she was panting and her tears finally stopped. He knew that she was conscious to some point. Kissing her face several times he whispered in a very deep yet gentle voice
" Girl, Don't Cry. I will be responsible for you from now. I, Xi Ying, would never treat you badly. "
After this, he removed the last clothing from her body.
*~*~**~*~*
While in the banquet, a maid came running suddenly on the female side with a very panicked expression on her face.
" Second Madam Li, Eldest Lady... "
Her voice was not low so it was heard by all of the ladies sitting there.
Yi Jie's heart tightened on hearing her mentioning Li Rui. Looking at the empty seat where her daughter should be seated her fear grew more. Coming to royal place has always ended as a disaster to her daughter. She remembered the impact of the last incident on her daughter.
" What happened to Elder sister? "
With a sharp voice, Li Caihong stood up and asked the maid. Her words showed that she loved her sister dearly.
" Third Lady.....Eldest Lady ...she .."
Empress frowned at the stuttering maid.
Princess Wenling silently got up from her seat with no one paying attention to herself and walked out from the banquet silently. The smile on her face now could not be hidden.
*~*~**~*~*
The musky smell inside the room was proof of whatever happened a few moments ago.
Xi Ying's gaze while looking at the girl was very gentle and obsessive. He looked at her like he was afraid that she would disappear anytime.
Her cheeks were red and tears hung through her long curled eyelashes. Her lips were red and swollen. Her black hair spread on the silky bedsheet. There was some sweat on her forehead. The more he looked, the more he thought he couldn't get enough ever of this scene. At this time, even her tears looked most beautiful on her face.
Her eyes were still closed. But the temperature of her body was less now. She was drugged. What if she was not found by him but by someone else. The thought makes his eyes cold. The hold on the body in his arms became tight. He did not even want to think in that direction. He had never thought that he could be so possessive of someone in his life.
Bang..
The abrupt sound interrupted his thoughts and he frowned. Someone was knocking on the door very loudly. Even though he didn't want to, he got up and covered her completely so that only her face was visible. Wearing his clothes he placed a last kiss on her lips and walked to open the door.
The gentleness was replaced by the suffocating cold aura. Opening the door, he coldly looked at the person outside who was smiling brightly on seeing him.
Princess Wenling looked at the man in front of him. This was the man she wanted and she will get him tonight. But when he looked at her with cold eyes, her heart suddenly shivered and her smile was very stiff. The smell inside the room wafted through her nose. Shivering under his gaze she suddenly looked inside the room.
This one look made her face so pale that she sat on the ground with a thump like her whole world had collapsed.
