Chapter 101: Back Home
Zedong brought Xing back in the Imperial Road and so it took a couple more days to get near the capital city. Xu mama accompanied her and was happily explaining how her father and her first uncle had exchanged a lot of letters in the past month than their entire life and according to her it was all thanks to her young miss who is the harbinger of goodwill and the epitome of benovelence. She only stopped her praises when Xing brought up the butler of the main Huang Manor.
They passed through a village when Xing felt like Shengli was there. Is it because I want to meet him I have a feeling he is so close? Xing wondered but stopped the carriage nonetheless.
Xing wanted to get down and Xu mama put that big hat with the veil on her but Xing wore the cape Shengli gave her and got down from the carriage. Saying that she wants to stretch her legs as an excuse she walked and somehow found that familiar footprints and followed it by stepping on it.
Xing followed the footprints to a small shed behind a house and suddenly she got grabbed by the wrist and was pulled in and she felt warm and suffocated by the tight hug and the familiar scent she missed for a month. Shengli hugged her for a while and took a deep whiff of her scent, "How did you know I’m here?", he asked in a deep sultry voice.
"I followed your footprints", Xing answered and Shengli was surprised and looked out to see hundreds of footprints on the ground similar to his. He had the habit of wearing the most common type of shoes whenever he’s out so that he won’t stand out any more than he already is and to make it more difficult to have someone stalking him. So how did she found his footprints among the hundreds of other footprints? Only she would know.. Or probably not.
"Why didn’t you inform me you’d be here?" Xing asked looking at that perfect face of her man. She could not help but admire the perfect specimen of the human realm looking at her with such love and passion. His green eyes were sparkling and looking at her just the way she wanted to and his lips were smiling and his entire aura emitted tenderness.
Shengli was hugging her by her waist looked at Xing who looked much much prettier than ever. Was it because he didn’t see her for a month or is she getting more alluring each passing day? Yes, she has changed... at least physically.. The softness he felt pressing against his firm chest is a proof!
"That didn’t stop you from meeting me!", he said. She had grown a little taller too. Her beautiful cherry lips seemed closer to his and easily accessible without him not bending much as she was looking up and her eyes were fixed on his lips too.
Before Xing realised she was ogling his lips that emitted blossom fragrance, his lips covered hers and Xing naturally wrapped her hands around his shoulders and let him take the lead. Oh! How much she missed this!
Xing came to her senses only when she realised his hands were fondling her chest and she suddenly remembered that letter he wrote and felt embarrassed. She hit him hard in the head and he released her with a yelp.
"You rascal Prince! You are getting more and more perverted each day", she pointed at him. Shengli leaned on the wall and gave a smirk. Her entire face was red and her lips were much redder and slightly swollen by the kiss from earlier and she only looked much more adorable and alluring.
"You taught me everything, my moon!" he said and Xing didn’t even know how to reply him.
