427 My Concern not matter

Li Hua planted the orchid plant into the porcelain pot after letting the pot dry for two days in the sunlight. She watered the plant and put it near the window of Lóng Wei’s room. She stepped back while holding the tiny water jar when her back hit someone.

She was startled, thinking who could come so close to her when the familiar touch experienced. The warm arms wrapped around her body and she drew close.

“I missed you,” Lóng Wei whispered in her ear and inhaled the scent of her hair.

“Your Highness, is it really you?” She asked as she was unable to believe that Lóng Wei was present with her.

“Of course, it is me. Your Lóng Wei,” he said and kissed her cheek. Li Hua immediately turned to him and cupped his face.

“I missed His Highness,” Li Hua said and hugged him tightly. She closed her eyes to feel that warmth. After a while, when the two withdrew from the hug, they both peered into each other’s eyes. “His Highness got tanned. He must have worked hard. He did not get injured in any way, right?” she worriedly asked.

“I indeed have to do lots of work. I did not let myself get harmed,” Lóng Wei stated and rested his hand on the side of Li Hua’s neck. “Why did you go out when I gave the strict instructions? Does my concern not matter to you?” He asked with a menacing expression on his face.

“I-I,” she stuttered and lowered her eyes, “forgive me. I did not know the attack to be this dangerous,” she apologized. Nothing was hidden from Lóng Wei and it did not surprise her. That was why she accepted her mistake.

Lóng Wei lifted her chin and made her look at him. “I will punish Feng Lao,” Lóng Wei stated.

.....

“Pardon me? Why? He did not do anything,” Li Hua started to defend him.

“No. He defied my orders,” Lóng Wei asserted.

“His Highness does not know the entire truth. General Hei also agreed to send me to the market. The Queen had planned to kill me, so I wanted to catch her red-handed,” Li Hua stated. Lóng Wei drew his brows together as his jaw clenched in fury. Li Hua narrated to him the entire incident that had happened that day.

“Yuze sent a message from Hei Chengxi for you?” Lóng Wei was surprised to find out that Yuze involved himself in this. Not only this, but Xiwan was also a part of all this.

“I will ask the servant to prepare the bathhouse for His Highness,” Li Hua told him.

“I ordered her already,” Lóng Wei answered and asked her why she took such a big risk. “Do you not love me? What if something had happened to you?” He gulped as he tried not to scold her.

“His Highness knows well how much I love him. I have a long life like my husband,” Li Hua replied and it made Lóng Wei laugh. He pinched Li Hua’s cheeks and she screamed.

“Your Highness!” She scrunched her brows and caressed her cheeks. “Is this the way a husband treats his wife after returning home?” She questioned him and continued rubbing her cheeks.

“Two days ago when I got this news, I became crazy there. You do not know how restless I was until I saw you now,” Lóng Wei’s concern for her was visible in his eyes. He cupped her cheeks and planted a soft kiss in the middle of her forehead before gazing into her eyes.

“You were not supposed to become the superwoman in my absence. There is a reason why I have told you to stay away from all this mess,” Lóng Wei affirmed. “Did you understand?” He asked.

Li Hua nodded her head.

“Did His Highness finish his work in Qijiang Province?” Li Hua asked.

“I did,” Lóng Wei replied. “We all found the real culprit and also the reason why Wu Zihao got killed. I will tell you those things later,” he stated. “First, let me stare at you for some time,” he said, keeping a tiny smile on his lips.

“His Highness has already stared me enough. He should freshen up, take a bath, and then-” she paused when Lóng Wei placed his index finger on her lips.

“Shhhh!” He quieted her down. “It was like torture for me to be away from you. Let me look at you wholeheartedly,” he said in a low voice and slowly rested his hand back on her cheek. They both kept peering into each other’s eyes until they got disturbed by the voice of the servant.

“Leave,” Li Hua whispered as the maidservant had come from the King’s manor with a message. However, Lóng Wei did not let her go. She gestured to him to leave, but he did not. Finally, Li Hua lightly hit Lóng Wei’s stomach and pushed him away.

“Why do people love to disturb us when we have some intimate moments going on?” Lóng Wei asked.

“Forgive this servant for intruding like this, but His Majesty wants to see the Sixth Prince as soon as possible,” the maidservant delivered the message of Qiu Zedong to Lóng Wei.

“I have to take a bath first,” Lóng Wei asserted.

“Kindly do it quickly, Your Highness,” the maidservant said.

Li Hua told Lóng Wei to go to the bathhouse. He hummed and asked the maidservant to tell his father that he would soon be there. She bowed at them and left the chamber.

“Why is His Highness standing here? Go to the bathhouse,” Li Hua told him when she saw him sliding his hand inside the pocket of his upper robe. It confused her and she saw a red scroll in his hand. Before she could ask him, Lóng Wei told her that he would explain her later about it.

He went to the study table and opened the drawer. He put it in and locked the drawer. “Keep it safe,” Lóng Wei handed her the tiny key as he put it in Li Hua’s palm. This was the first time, Lóng Wei handed his personal thing to her and it overwhelmed her.

“I will be back soon,” Lóng Wei said as he patted her cheek, and left for the bathhouse.

Li Hua closed her palm and went to her chamber to keep the key in a safer place.
