Yun Canglan stood in front of the bedroom door looking up at the dark sky, and gave orders to Yun Qin and Yun Qi, "Guard the door! I am tired. No one is to enter, I do not want to be disturbed."
Yun Qin and Yun Qi responded in a serious tone, "Mistress, you may rest assured. It will be so."
Yun Canglan turned and as she reached to open the door, it was opened from the inside.
A man stood in the room. He had eyes that sparkled as bright as stars and his lips were as red as blood. He wore red clothes, the color of fire, and looked quite sexy to Yun Canglan. His features were sculpted, and appeared feminine. There was a golden lotus between his eyebrows that made him even more attractive.
"He was bewitching with a red feather on the tip of his brow. He dwarfed even the sun and the moon." The man standing in her room was Mister Yao Yan, one of the Nine Prominent Figures in the world.
Lei Tianyan pulled Yun Canglan tightly into his arms, resting his chin on her head affectionate.
Yun Canglan took a deep breath, remaining calm when she recognized the familiar fragrance, and knew who held her.
"You are late!" Yun Canglan complained.
Lei Tianyan sounded like a spoiled child, "It's all your fault! You are lucky. I rushed back as quickly as I have, I have the state affairs of the Si Kingdom to deal with!"
Yun Canglan grumbled under her breath, "You can stay in the Si Kingdom."
"What are you talking about?" Lei Tianyan released her, looking at her angrily, "I'm your fiance, and I forbid you to have sex with others to detox!"
Yun Canglan looked at him, trying to understand his anger.
Lei Tianyan looking up at the night sky noted, "It's almost midnight."
Were they going indoors or have sex out there? "Let's go in." Yun Canglan said.
"Wait." Lei Tianyan spoke coldly looking behind Yun Canglan. He narrowed his eyes as if he saw something dangerous.
Yun Canglan followed his gaze, and saw a figure standing in the shadows of the darkened yard, almost invisible.
There was bitterness in his sharp eyes as he stared coldly from Yun Canglan to Lei Tianyan.
Lei Tianyan taunted, "Who do we have here, why it's Shui Minghan, the favored sixth Prince of the Lie Kingdom. Why are you here? Somebody may believe the Lie Kingdom has a hidden agenda." There was a strong smell of gunpowder between them.
Shui Minghan ignored Lei Tianyan's taunting looking at Yun C
an immediately took Yun Canglan into his arms, turning to tell Shui Minghan, "See you! I am going to take my fiancee to bed now."
The two went into the room and closed the door.
Shui Minghan clenched his fists tightly, and his nails cut into his palms. He stood outside the door, feeling a heartache when he heard the sounds from within.
He had been wrong. It turned out that he cared for her very much. He could put aside his hatred and his throne, all he wanted was her.
He had made a mistake, and it turned out people couldn't make mistakes where she was concerned. She was with Lei Tianyan now, and he saw her sweet and charming side.
Yun Qin and Yun Qi turned away and pretended they didn't know Shui Minghan, even though they felt shocked seeing his grief and heartbroken reaction. At one time, they respected him, and when they addressed him, Mister Wu Hen was spoken with appreciation, because the Mistress cared about him. Now he was looked down upon, 'Fucking Mister Wu Hen!' was uttered with disdain.
Leaning against the wall, Yun Qin taunted, "I wasn't aware that Mister Wu Hen liked to eavesdrop."
Yun Qi feigning innocence added, "Brother, is he a pervert?"
"I guess so." They shared a chuckle at his expense.
"Mister Wu Hen, you should go, or did you hope to hear them having sex?" Yun Qin taunted.
Blood dripped from Shui Minghan's fists.
Shui Minghan stood a while more before he turned around and left.
There was an ache in his chest, and he reached for it. His right hand clutching his chest, began to burn.
The red feather on his right wrist was in bloom.
