Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 155 - Woman Of The Crown Prince

"You also have fallen for me. The way you got angry at Jingguo was truly showing how jealous you were!" Ying Lili remarked. She lifted her right hand and traced Sheng Li\'s face with her index finger. "You were so desperate to kiss me not once but three times," Ying Lili stated and from the back of her index finger caressed Sheng Li\'s face.

Sheng Li was surprised to see Ying Lili\'s this side. But he knew that Ying Lili wanted him to confess that yes, he was jealous of her damn friend and had fallen for her. But it was not that easy to make him confess, not unless Ying Lili would confess.

Sheng Li caught Ying Lili\'s finger and put it down. "You are thinking too much. I am not desperate to kiss you but you are the one who is desperate to take them," Sheng Li yanked at the Crown Princess.

Ying Lili drew her brows together. "Don\'t say that. Why would I think like that?" Ying Lili questioned him.

"It is simple, Lili. You do not know how to kiss so, you want me to teach you. I know the wild thoughts in your mind," Sheng Li stated and grinned.

"W-what!?" Ying Lili exclaimed. "You are talking as if you kissed so many women. I knew that you are a womanizer, that\'s why you went there without me to watch those dancers," Ying Lili blurted out at him.

"That is a wrong word you used against me. And, why are you jealous of those dancers!? Lili, tell me you do not want me to look at the other women, right? Earlier you told me to keep a concubine, but now you do not want that. Why?" Sheng Li queried Ying Lili.

"Because you promised me that you will keep only one woman beside you, and that\'s me," Ying Lili asserted. Sheng Li slightly laughed because he was amused at how Ying Lili was escaping the question that he asked. Because they were on this topic so, Sheng Li thought to tease Ying Lili a bit more.

"Those dancers were superb. One even stopped in front of me. The way they were dancing made me think that…" Sheng Li paused as he saw an incensed expression on Ying Lili\'s face.

"Why did you stop? Complete your words," Ying Lili asserted.

Sheng Li nodded and leaned closer to Ying Lili\'s ear. "… nothing can beat the dance of my wildcat." A smile carved on Ying Lili\'s lips and a taint of red appeared on her cheeks. The Crown Prince leaned back and looked at the face of the Crown Princess. "You get so jealous when I mentioned the other women. Just accept that you love me," Sheng Li then said.

\'How tough is it going to make her confess? But then she is Lili, who is a stubborn woman.\' Sheng Li let go of Ying Lili and she landed on the mattress on the floor. "Let\'s have our dinner then," Sheng Li said and called the maidservant in. He ordered her to serve them dinner when she left for the Kitchen.

"Take me with you there," Ying Lili suddenly said.

"Where?" Sheng Li questioned.

"To that place where you have gone. Even the Emperor had permitted me so, it will not be a problem," pronounced Ying Lili.

"Father also told me to take care of you. I already told you that this place is not a good one. If you will be caught and then it will be a dead-end for us. I cannot take you with me everywhere," Sheng Li affirmed when two maidservants came there with trays in their hands. They set the dining floor table for them and left from there.

"But you sent me to the Ex-Prime Minister\'s Residence as well. That was dangerous too," Ying Lili pronounced.

"Lili, I do everything after putting a deep thought. You are here not because you are good at warfare, but because you are safe beside me. Now, do not argue over this and start eating," Sheng Li stated.

"You are making excuses. You do not want me to get praised by the Imperial Father," Ying Lili huffed and picked up the chopsticks.

"What?" "Why would I think so? That place is not suitable for you. I cannot risk your life by taking you there when I know nothing about our opponent. And, then you are not an ordinary woman. You are the Woman of the Crown Prince. I know you can fight many at once, but then I cannot risk your life. So, never ask me about this," asserted Sheng Li and picked the chopsticks up.

Ying Lili was touched by Sheng Li\'s words. He indeed cared for her, but then she had a question. "Sheng Li, what about you? You should be careful too." Ying Lili was anxious.

"I have been in these situations so I know how to tackle them," Sheng Li pronounced. Ying Lili nodded, and the two started eating dinner. After they finished their meals, Sheng Li told the maidservant to bring some wine.

The maidservant had put the wine jar and two porcelain cups on the table. "You may leave. Do not let anyone enter here," Sheng Li ordered the maidservant who bowed her head before leaving.

Sheng Li poured the wine for Ying Lili and him in the porcelain cups. Ying Lili picked the cup when Sheng Li stopped her. "Let me ask a question first," Sheng Li stated.

"Ask," Ying Lili permitted him.

"Tell me about your best childhood memory," Sheng Li asked the first question.

Ying Lili smiled because the question was easy for her to answer. "There are many but this one is special. When I was six years old, my father gifted me a sword that he had made himself. My father even engraved my name on that sword. That\'s the best memory I had with him," Ying Lili replied with a smile.

"So, you started swordsmanship at the age of 6?" Sheng Li questioned.

"Yes," Ying Lili replied. She then brought the cup closer to Sheng Li and toasted it with his cup. She brought it closer to her lips and gulped the wine in a go. Sheng Li smiled and drank the wine too.

"My turn!" Ying Lili excitedly said as she placed the cup on the table while Sheng Li poured the wine for them.
