Married To The Cruel Crown Prince-Chapter 52 - No Right To Get Angry At My Wife
Sheng Li was reading something in his study room when Xing-Fu came there. "Your highness, the crown princess is here. She seems worried," Xing-Fu informed the crown prince who lifted his head from the scroll in his hand.
"Send the crown princess in," Sheng Li ordered. Xing-Fu nodded his head and walked out. Ying Lili entered the study room and found Sheng Li was not there. The doors were closed, and she walked further in. She stood near the desk when she heard the voice of Sheng Li. "Come here," Sheng Li stated whose voice came from the back of the study room.
Ying Lili gracefully picked her high waist skirt and walked forward. She looked at the space between the shelves until she reached the end where one more desk was placed at the left end.
"Why is the wild cat here at this hour?" Sheng Li asked as he placed the scroll on the desk and peered into the eyes of Ying Lili.
"What do you like?" Ying Lili straight away asked, which made Sheng Li chuckle. He stood up from the chair when Ying Lili stepped back. "You can talk from there only," Ying Lili proclaimed but Sheng Li did not stop and kept stepping forward. Ying Lili's back hit against the bookshelf on her right when Sheng Li placed his one hand beside her head.
"What did you say?" Sheng Li urged again.
Ying Lili glared at him and this time she asked in a loud enough voice, "What does his highness like?" Sheng Li grimaced and tried reading her eyes.
"Why are you asking out of sudden?" Sheng Li questioned.
"I understood you do not want to answer," asserted Ying Lili and slapped off Sheng Li's forearm to walk away when Sheng Li grabbed her arm, pulling her back.
"You amuse me. Now, tell me why are you here?" Sheng Li demanded an answer. Ying Lili gawked at him. "Did I not tell you two times already? You shall check your ears to the Royal physician," Ying Lili yanked at him.
"My ears are perfectly fine. I just want to hear the real reason behind your visit here," Sheng Li stated, and released Ying Lili's arm from his grip. "Still not speaking?! Shall I ask the court lady?" Sheng Li queried Ying Lili.
Ying Lili's eyes flickered. "The overcoat I made for you is destroyed, and I have to give you something tomorrow on your birthday," Ying Lili answered. Sheng Li raised his one brow and skeptically looked at Ying Lili.
"Who destroyed it?" Sheng Li inquired from Ying Lili.
"That does not matter now," Ying Lili stated.
"It matters, Lili. I heard from Xing-Fu that you worked on it for over eight hours. Did you punish them?" Sheng Li waited for Ying Lili's response.
"Sheng Li, it was my mistake. Now, tell me what do you like? I will prepare for that else her majesty will get angry at me," Ying Lili looked for the answers.
"What can you give me?" Sheng Li questioned Ying Lili who knitted her brows.
"How can I know until I know your wish?" Ying Lili asked him back. "Tell me what do you like?" Ying Lili asked again.
"I like to kill," replied Sheng Li with a smirk said. "Can you give me a life as a gift?" Sheng Li queried with a grin on his face.
"It is not the time to joke or play, Sheng Li. I should not have come here," Ying Lili with a despondent expression spoke and averted her gaze from him. Sheng Li grabbed Ying Lili's chin and made her look at him.
"I will ask tomorrow. Do not stress yourself over this petty matter," Sheng Li proclaimed.
"It is not a petty matter. It is your birthday. I must give you something," Ying Lili stated anxiously.
"If you will give something from your heart, then it will be accepted by me. I do not take gifts from haters," Sheng Li asserted and pulled his fingers back from Ying Lili's chin. Ying Lili blinked her eyes and lowered them. "I understood," the crown princess replied.
"Her majesty is here," both of them heard Xing-Fu. Ying Lili got panicked, which was noticed by Sheng Li. "Act with me," Sheng Li whispered in Ying Lili's ear.
"Huh?"
Sheng Li cupped Ying Lili's face and sealed her lips with a kiss. Ying Lili placed her hand on Sheng Li's chest to push him off when he grasped her hand and pinned it against the shelf there. The door to the library was opened.
Ying Lili tightened her fist of the hand which was pinned on the shelf so Sheng Li loosened it and intertwined his fingers with Ying Lili's. He heard the steps of the Empress coming there, which he wanted.
"Crown…" the empress stopped speaking as she saw them making out. She glared at them and cleared her throat. "Your highness, her majesty is here," Xing-Fu spoke as he also came there when he saw the crown prince and the crown princess were kissing.
Upon hearing Xing-Fu, Sheng Li pulled away and looked into the eyes of Ying Lili. He wore a smile on his lips and turned back. "Your majesty," Sheng Li spoke and bowed his head. Ying Lili came forward and bowed her head as well. Sheng Li then lifted his head and looked into the eyes of Empress Wei.
"I told the crown princess to work on the overcoat but she is doing something else here," Empress Wei in a fit of rage spoke. Sheng Li whose both hands were behind his back were tightened.
Ying Lili was nervous when she heard Empress Wei. "How could the crown princess be so careless? She could not look after an overcoat and lied to me saying that the gift will be ready by tomorrow. Is this the way by which the crown princess preparing for the crown prince's birthday gift?
You also let the servant did not take the punishment. Are you going to be this indecisive in judging matters?" Empress Wei was in anger.
Ying Lili was going to speak when Sheng Li intervened. "Her majesty has no right to get angry at my wife," Sheng Li declared and looked at Ying Lili who was in bewilderment looking at him.
"Only I can get angry at her and I have not given that right to anyone not even you, your majesty, The crown princess has already prepared a gracious gift for her husband and the overcoat was destroyed by me," Sheng Li pronounced and smirked at the Empress. Xing-Fu knitted his brow and glanced at the crown prince while Empress Wei was glaring at him.
