After discussing the design with Wang Shu, Yu Yingyi decided it was time to head back home since the sun was already setting and Song Liya was probably going to unleash her fury at any moment now.
"It's been fun talking to you again Yingyi," said Mei Xiang.
"Same, hopefully, I can come to visit your restaurant again. When I do, you better give me a discount," said Yu Yingyi.
"Haha! You can visit the restaurant anytime, though I'm not sure about the discount part since my customers might think it's unfair."
"Tsk, just tells them I'm the prince and they'll understand."
"I guess that works too, but that depends if you come with a disguise or not."
"The next time I come here, I'll be there as myself, that way I don't have to pay as much as everyone else. Anyways, it's getting late, I have to return with the princess as soon as possible."
"Alright, be careful on the way home!"
"Thank you!"
With that said, Yu Yingyi and Song Feng Mian left the store and started making their way back home.
"Today was a fun day, I got to see many different designs from Wang Shu and understand him a bit more," said Yu Yingyi.
"Today definitely has been fun, what did you understand more about Wang Shu?" asked Song Feng Mian.
"I think he's a simple person but his mind works in complex ways. I'm sure you saw the patterns of the tiles that were on the shelf, every single piece had a pattern on it that took at least a minute to understand."
"Really? I thought they were all normal patterns, I didn't realize there was such a significant meaning behind it.
Yu Yingyi sighed and shook her head. "Since you don't do architecture or any of that, I'm not surprised you don't know since you don't understand the difficulty of the designs."
Song Feng Mian dramatically clutched her heart and acted as if she was hurt. "How could you say that to me Yingyi? What have I done to you that made you hurt me this emotionally?"
Yu Yingyi lightly slapped Song Feng Mian's arm. "You may be a great actor, but you're never going to fool me."
"*Sigh* I tried."
The atmosphere between the two was pleasant, Yu Yingyi felt like her friendship with Song Feng Mian became closer than it was before. Of course, Song Feng Mian thought differently, she wanted their friendship to be more than just a friendship, though she couldn't do anything since Song Liya was trailing right behind them.
Once they were back in the palace, Yu Yingyi and Song Feng Mian were greeted by Jia Yi which was a surprise.
"Welcome back Prince Yingyi and second Princess Song Feng Mian," said Jia Yi slightly bowing.
"Ah, there's no need to call me second princess, just call me Song Feng Mian since I'm not even a princess."
"Same here, you don't need to call me prince anymore, just say my regular name."
"If that's what you two want then I shall oblige to your wishes. Also, I have a message for you Prince Yingyi."
'Didn't I just tell her not to call me that anymore?"
Yu Yingyi had a vague idea of what the message would be, it was going to be about Song Liya.
"What is it?"
"It's a message from Princess Song Liya."
'Bulleye.'
"What did she tell you to relay to me?"
"She told me to tell you to come to the room once you got back, she wanted to speak to you immediately."
"I see, I'll go there right now, you take care of Song Feng Mian."
"You don't need to tell me, now hurry up and go before the princess decides to start a massacre."
"You don't need to tell me twice."
Yu Yingyi speed-walked to their room, if she made Song Liya wait any longer, who knew what would happen to this world. Though she was wondering how Song Liya made it back to the palace faster than them.
When Yu Yingyi opened the door, all she saw was darkness, all of the curtains were closed, not a beam of sunlight was in the room. It was silent too, but the atmosphere in the room gave Yu Yingyi chills.
When Yu Yingyi stepped into the room, she heard the sound of the door closing and locking behind her as she was pushed against a wall by an unknown force near her chest.
That's when the lights flickered open revealing Song Liya eye's staring deep into her soul, her eyes were filled with one emotion, not fury, not anger, but desire.
Without giving Yu Yingyi any time to react, she felt Song Liya's hungry lips on the side of her neck, kissing it nonstop as well as sucking on it. Each sensation gave Yu Yingyi a wave of pleasure.
"S-Song Liya!" Yu Yingyi managed to cry out. "What're you doing?"
Song Liya stopped, stood up, and locked eyes with Yu Yingyi. The emotions Yu Yingyi saw in Song Liya's eyes couldn't be put into words.
"What do you think I'm doing? I'm showing you who you belong to and that's me only," said Song Liya.
Song Liya didn't give any time for Yu Yingyi to reply, she immediately connected her lips with Yu Yingyi's lips, kissing her roughly.
Retracting, Song Liya said, "Who do you think you are to go out with my sister while dressing all pretty and thinking you can get away with it?
Again, without letting Yu Yingyi reply, Song Liya kissed Yu Yingyi, but this time, it felt more forceful.
"You knew I was watching you, yet you decided to be all touchy with her, what were you thinking?"
"Did you happen to forget me when you went out with my sister? If so, do you want me to leave something on you that'll remind you of me no matter when and where you are?"
"Don't forget Yu Yingyi, you belong to me, everything about you belongs to me, and me only."
Each sentence was said in between rough kisses leaving Yu Yingyi gasping for air, her breathing became heavy, and her voice became raspy.
"Liya, let me breathe." Yu Yingyi managed to speak up.
"This is just a warning, next time, you should think about your actions," said Song Liya walking away.
All of Yu Yingyi's strength was sapped from her body, she sat there on the ground with her back leaning against the wall. She didn't know how to feel about what just happened, but she can say one thing for sure.
She enjoyed it.
