Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 66 - How Can A Man Cherish His Woman?

Sheng Li's intense gaze and the smirk were making Ying Lili nervous. She lowered her eyes and clutched again the bathrobe tightly. "There is no use of hiding them," Sheng Li uttered as he moved his index finger, starting from Ying Lili's left hand, traveling through her arm.

"Sheng Li, do not touch me. I did not permit you," Ying Lili affirmed when she felt Sheng Li's finger on her collarbone. He was beaming at her. "You were going to kill me but see, I am still alive!" Sheng Li playfully spoke when he saw the tears had formed in the eyes of the Crown Princess.

Sheng Li felt somewhat bad, so he pulled his hand back immediately. "Wild cat, I was only teasing you. I feel happy when I play with you. You do not need to cry," Sheng Li spoke as he let go of his grip on the other arm of Ying Lili and took a step back.

Ying Lili immediately turned back, not wanted Sheng Li to see her. "It is not good to play like this," Ying Lili spoke as she sat in the bathtub. Never once Sheng Li felt guilty, but the woman in front of him made him feel so.

"You are such a persistent woman. Why crying? I was only teasing you. If I had to something to you then, would have on the wedding night. I now really wonder what would have happened to you if I would not be your husband…" Sheng Li stated. He was annoyed now but did not know at whom- at his childish behavior or because Ying Lili acted that way.

Sheng Li heard Ying Lili speaking, "If you would not be my husband then I would have found someone who could cherish me and unlike others could see my inner beauty instead of outer appearance."

Sheng Li clutched her fists when he heard that Ying Lili would have found someone else. But why? Was it because now with her he felt somewhat happy, or was it because of a different reason? Sheng Li came forward to look at Ying Lili.

He gently removed the hair strands in front of her face. "But, now you are married to me so, you cannot dream of that man who could cherish you." Both peered into the eyes of each other when Sheng Li pulled back his hand. "I am going. You ruined my mood," saying this Sheng Li got out of the bathtub and went back to his bathhouse.

"Why did he seem as if it was my fault? He ruined my mood," Ying Lili frowned. The door of the bathhouse was opened, and the maidservants came there along with the court lady Xu.

Ying Lili had by then removed the bathrobe off her body and was still baffled by the Crown prince's act. A maidservant started messaging her shoulders while the other was pouring rose water onto Ying Lili's body.

"Your highness did something happen between…" Before Court Lady Xu could complete her words, Ying Lili spoke, "Court lady, nothing happened." Court Lady Xu did not ask anything more, as she observed that the Crown Princess was not in the mood.

Sheng Li, on the other hand, was infuriated by the Crown Princess's behavior towards him. He threw his hand in the water, which scared Xing-Fu and other maidservants there. "Xing-Fu," Sheng Li loudly spoke who came forward and bowed his head, joining both hands which were near his belly.

"Yes, your highness," Xing-Fu said and waited for the response from the Crown Prince.

"How can a man cherish his woman?" Sheng Li asked in a low voice. Xing-Fu lifted his eyes and then immediately lowered them down. "There are many ways, your highness. His highness can prepare daily gifts her highness and…"

"Shut up!!" Sheng Li shouted, and Xing-Fu promptly stopped speaking. Sheng Li shot a glare at him. "When did I say that it was Crown Princess and me? Do not say anything stupid!" Sheng Li took out his anger at Xing-Fu.

"Do your work quickly," Sheng Li ordered the maidservants in an infuriated tone. Sheng Li closed his eyes, "Ahh, who is she to make me feel this guilty? Can't she take a joke? She was also playing with me earlier. Why am I even caring what she wants and what she does not want?" Sheng Li was murmuring, while Xing-Fu was noticing all that.

After taking the bath, both the Crown Prince and the Crown princess went to their respective dressing Chambers. Sheng Li came to Zhenzhu Inn after getting ready for his lunch meal. Court lady bowed her head in front of the Crown Prince who walked inside the door. He removed the beaded curtains and the sight he found was not good to him.

Ying Lili was eating on her own when he even sent the message to her not to eat. Sheng Li sat on the ground stool and looked at the dishes and then at Ying Lili. "Why have you started eating all by yourself without waiting for me?" Sheng Li complained. Ying Lili did not answer when Sheng Li picked the spoon to drink the soup of chicken meatball soup.

As he sipped it, he realized how many spices there were that he ended up coughing. He glared at Ying Lili who was peacefully eating and gulped the water when he noticed the suppressed smile on Ying Lili's lips.

"You did this, right?" Sheng Li questioned Ying Lili as he put the glass on the table.

"Did I?" Ying Lili asked as she met Sheng Li's gaze. "You have no proof that I did that," Ying Lili affirmed and continued eating. Sheng Li ended up giving a chuckle and thought to eat the side dishes. He picked a thin slice of pork from the chopstick and put it inside his mouth. As he chewed, he found that salty he ended up throwing that.

Glaring at Ying Lili, Sheng Li spoke, "This is not a good way of making your husband suffer." Ying Lili did not reply to him and finished the meal which was served to her. Sheng Li understood that Ying Lili was ignoring him.

Oppositely, Ying Lili started eating the fresh grapes which were placed in a bowl. She had stood up from the seat and went towards the bed. Sheng Li threw the chopsticks at the table, annoyingly. He stood up from the table and thought to leave the place when something came to his mind.

He turned his steps towards the Crown Princess who was seated on the bed, enjoying the grapes. Ying Lili saw Sheng Li had come towards the bed, but she did not stop eating. Sheng Li sat on the bed, facing Ying Lili who was enjoying eating those grapes.

Ying lifted her eyes to meet the gaze of Sheng Li. She forwarded a grape to Sheng Li who took that and then put a grape in between her lips and teeth. At that instant, Sheng Li placed his hand on Ying Lili's nape, bringing her face closer to him.

Ying Lili widened her eyes, but before she could react, Sheng Li brought his lips closer to her and bit the grape, which was still half outside Ying Lili's rosy lips. She felt a slight brush of Sheng Li's lips onto hers and she was jolted up.

Sheng Li leaned slightly back and ate the grape. "It is tasty. I am full. And, I have changed my mind. Be ready for another passionate night with me," Sheng Li whispered as he tilted his neck slightly and grinned.
