Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

153 Just for Ten Seconds

The young woman didn’t like Li Hua’s remark about her. He called her hands malign. Li Hua was standing in front of Lóng Wei, glared into her eyes. She apologized to Fei Jinshi for creating such trouble for them.

Lóng Wei and Li Hua turned to leave when the young woman stopped them. She stood in front of Li Hua and asked her to apologize. When Li Hua didn’t respond, she raised her hand to slap her when Lóng Wei caught her hand in mid-air.

“I tried hard to listen to you and keep my promise, Wifey,” Lóng Wei said as a grim expression surrounded his face. His grip tightened on the young woman’s wrist, who tried to pull her hand away.

“Shall I cut your hand and present it to your dear father?” Lóng Wei asked her and arched an eyebrow at her.

Everyone present in the shop was terrified to hear Lóng Wei’s words. The young woman’s attendant came forward and asked her not to create trouble for himself. She asked him to let go of the hand of her mistress.

“I promised you that I would not create any trouble as long as people would be good to me,” Lóng Wei spoke to Li Hua, who asked him to let her go.

“Apologize to my wife. Get on your knees,” Lóng Wei told the young woman and yanked her hand off. The force was huge. She fell back and cried out. The people, who were mostly women, didn’t dare to involve themselves in that fight.

“Don’t do this to a woman,” Li Hua told Lóng Wei in a low voice and walked out of the shop. She knew that once she would leave, Lóng Wei would automatically come after her.

“I will return, Young Lady. The mistake you made today, your father must pay for it,” Lóng Wei threatened her. “Ahh, the King is available for his son all the time. So, I don’t need any special permission to meet my father.” Lóng Wei finally revealed his identity to her.

.....

Everyone in the shop was shocked to learn that it was a Prince, and they started to gossip among themselves. The young woman on the floor gulped to find out when her attendant immediately got on her knees to apologize for her mistress’s mistake.

“Who is her father?” Lóng Wei turned to look at Fei Jinshi. “Don’t worry. When Qiu Lóng Wei is present, then no one can even lay a finger on you. Tell me truthfully about her father.”

The young woman stopped breathing when she heard that he was the Sixth Prince. She immediately lowered her eyes because of the sudden fear that surrounded her mind and body. The noises died down, and no one dared to look in his direction.

Fei Jinshi bowed before him and truthfully answered Lóng Wei. “It is Official Yang Daoshing, Your Highness,” Fei Jinshi replied and gulped.

“Noted. I would love to have this dress, but since my wife doesn’t want it, you can sell it to this young lady,” Lóng Wei said and again looked at her, who crawled to her. She begged him not to do anything to her father. She joined her hands and pleaded with him. “I will apologize to Her Highness for my behavior,” she stated.

“My wife doesn’t need your apology anymore. Do not worry. I am not in a mood to kill your father,” Lóng Wei got on his knees and smirked, “rather, I would make him beg on the streets with his dear family.”

The young woman started to cry while Lóng Wei left the shop.

Li Hua was at the bottom of the stairs. She saw Lóng Wei coming out of the shop and turned her back on him. She walked ahead in anger. She didn’t want him to create any scene. However, he did not listen to her. It upset her that her husband still did not listen to her. Two months would pass soon, and she might get kicked out. Though Lóng Wei would not let it happen, she didn’t trust her fate.

Lóng Wei reached near her and asked her if she was upset. Li Hua didn’t answer and kept walking.

“Answer me,” Lóng Wei urged her, but she didn’t respond and continued to walk ahead without realizing where they both were heading to.

“Do you hate my ways? Do you hate that I am like this?” Lóng Wei’s question stopped her. He also halted, and the two-faced each other.

“Anyone would,” Li Hua replied finally.

“I want to know about your sole answer,” Lóng Wei stated.

“I don’t like his ways. He must be polite to the people around him. I do not like it when someone insults him,” Li Hua asserted. Lóng Wei glanced at her in surprise. He didn’t expect this kind of answer.

“I don’t hate His Highness. I will never. I only want him to be the person, which his well-wishers want him to become,” Li Hua affirmed. Their eyes didn’t blink for a while as they continued to peer at each other.

Lóng Wei closed the distance between them and hugged her tightly without caring about their surroundings. Li Hua was stunned by his action. She tightly clutched his robes. His left hand moved to the back of her head as he drew it close while his gaze focussed on the person coming from the front.

“Your Highness, it’s the market. We cannot do this here,” Li Hua whispered. Her right foot moved against the ground as she felt it was extremely embarrassing. So many people were present around them. She brought her palms to his chest to push him lightly, but his grip around her tightened.

“Just for ten seconds, Li Hua. Let’s stay like this for ten seconds,” Lóng Wei requested. Li Hua didn’t protest anymore.

Feng Lao walked past them and gazed narrowly at Lóng Wei before advancing ahead. Lóng Wei knitted his brows, and the veins popped out on his forehead.
