Chapter 169: Do What You Have To Do
"Didn’t you promise my brother that you’ll only serve him as the Emperor?", Shengli spoke after a long pause, "Then it is good that you decided to stay inside the palace. You can stay by his side and make sure he is not expendable"
Xing who had almost forgotten the first promise she made to the Emperor got reminded of it by Shengli. But this is not the reason she had decided to stay here and there are a lot more.
Xing looked at her man looking at her with conviction and she could feel his love for her in his eyes and her heart warmed. This man here is talking about her staying here as if she is going for shopping. But isn’t this more serious issue? Will he really let me do whatever I want without controlling me like other men would do to their women? Does he trust me this much? Is it because he loves me? Isn’t this too much?
Shengli saw Xing looking at him with her usual googly eyes and he couldn’t help but smile, ’It is enough for me to look at this beautiful eyes forever!’
" This is your last chance. If you want to be Emperor.."
"I won’t be the Emperor", Shengli interjected Xing, "Remember, I will not let you stay here forever. This place is not for us. I will bring you out. You can stay here only until you finish doing what you must do", he placed his right hand on her left cheek and gently rubbed her cheeks.
Xing was really amazed by the man in front of her. His green eyes were holding deep emotions and he was looking at her like he had decided something for himself too. His arrogant declaration, ’I’ll bring you out’ made goosebumps appear on her out of excitement . She didn’t know why she expected his approval that much or felt that she’ll need him to get out of here but that sentence gave her such confidence and hope for the future.
Of course she didn’t want Shengli to be Emperor too and she could never think of the Imperial Palace as her home. She was really glad that he had the same thoughts as her. Some times knowing that you have someone guarding your back will give you much strength that cannot be rivaled. And knowing that their life together can start after she finishes her duties here, gave her the fortitude to move forward without any resentments or doubts.
I trust him! And I love him more!
"Okay, I’ll hold you on this promise then", she smiled and his lips immediately met her lips and he kissed her.
Xing was surprised by his sudden attack. "What? Isn’t this how you seal a deal?", he smirked and wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her more. Soon they could not let go of each other and Xing was pressed with her back on a tree and Shengli had no intention of letting her go as they both were kissing deeply. Shengli held her waist close to his and he slowly grinded his waist on her while kissing her neck and Xing could feel the hotness of his member passing through his clothes on her.
"Chenglei..", she tried to bring him back to his senses but her voice came out as a seductive whisper by his hot caresses and her voice only provoked him more and his caresses intensified sucking Xing deep inside the vortex of pleasures.
