Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

He looked at the table on which he saw the sword. “Is she practicing these days?” Lóng Wei murmured and went to the patio. He looked up at the sky and missed Yuze.

“He left me in the most unexpected way,” he said and sighed. He lowered his head and blankly stared at the space before him. Lóng Wei had less time to correct everything.

“Your Highness, Miss Kang has come to see you,” Lóng Wei heard a masculine voice and turned to look. It was a soldier and it made him arch his brow.

Lóng Wei wondered if he should allow her to meet him or not.

“Pardon me, Your Highness. I did not find the prince in his chamber, so I came here. There was no servant outside either,” the soldier said with a frightened look. He was trembling in fear because of Lóng Wei.

“Bring her to the guest chamber,” Lóng Wei stated and the soldier complied with his order.

Lóng Wei soon reached the guest chamber, where Cha Ying was present. She stood up to see him and greeted him.

“Thank you for allowing me to see Your Highness,” Cha Ying said and found Lóng Wei had taken the seat.

.....

“What do you want? If it is about your father, then I cannot help you,” Lóng Wei replied.

“If my father has done wrong, then I will not ask for His Highness’s help,” Cha Ying answered.

“Let me tell you, then. Your father has indeed done so many wrong things,” Lóng Wei stated. Cha Ying lowered her eyes and clasped her hands together which Lóng Wei noticed.

“It feels terrible to find out that your father, your elder brother turned out to be the devils in human disguises,” Lóng Wei remarked. Cha Ying could not deny that statement.

“I do not want the rest of us to suffer because of my father’s and brother’s faults,” Cha Ying said and looked at him.

“You should go to Prince Mu. He can better help you in this matter rather than me. I have no intention to help the Kang family. I wanted to help, but Kang Huijuan betrayed me, so I have decided to step back,” Lóng Wei explained to him.

Cha Ying’s eyes were filled with tears, but she didn’t let them fall down. This was a vulnerable period for her. If the title was snatched from her father, the Kang family’s reputation would be ruined too.

“If you have done wrong, you have to bear the consequences of it. The same is happening with your father and brother. You cannot stop people from gossiping, so it is better for you to shut your ears. The Kang Family can turn better by doing good work too if they want,” Lóng Wei advised her.

Cha Ying peered at him and nodded her head. “I will marry Prince Mu soon. However, I do not want to leave my family behind when they are in such a tough phase,” she stated.

“So? Do you want to delay the marriage?” Lóng Wei asked.

“I think I should not marry. However, my father will be angry if I don’t marry Prince Mu. I don’t know why I am telling all this to Prince Lóng Wei,” she chuckled as she wiped the tears from the pad of her fingers.

“I cannot comment on this,” Lóng Wei refused to say anything as it could lead to a rift between him and Qiu Mu, which he didn’t want to happen.

“I understand,” Cha Ying said and told him that she should leave. Lóng Wei hummed and she turned from him.

“Cha Ying, do what your heart says,” Lóng Wei affirmed. She again looked at him and found the encouragement which she had been looking for. There was not a single person to support her decision and her heart had already told her that she didn’t want to marry Qiu Mu at the current moment.

She thanked Lóng Wei again for listening to her and walked away.

Lóng Wei decided to go back to Li Hua’s chamber and came out when he found Cha Ying in the corridor. “You didn’t leave,” Lóng Wei said.

“I have to say something to His Highness,” Cha Ying stated.

“Hmm?”

“I wish I would have chosen Prince Lóng Wei at the very beginning. I wish I was the first woman to hold His Highness’s hand,” Cha Ying stated.

Lóng Wei chuckled to hear her. “But I would not have chosen you nor would I have let you hold my hand,” he said.

“His Highness rejected me so easily,” Cha Ying muttered. She saw Li Hua had come from behind Lóng Wei and she bowed to her.

Lóng Wei turned to look and see Li Hua. A smile appeared on his lips and he dashed to her. “Where were you? I waited so long,” he said. He totally had forgotten that Cha Ying was still present there.

Li Hua looked at Cha Ying, who left from there. She gazed at Lóng Wei and asked him why Cha Ying proposed to him.

“You heard?” Lóng Wei asked in astonishment.

“Yes,” Li Hua replied.

“I do not know. She randomly said that,” Lóng Wei stated.

“What was she doing here? What did she talk about with His Highness?” Li Hua questioned.

Lóng Wei decided to tease Li Hua.

“Cha Ying asked me to marry her,” Lóng Wei. “I told you I have charms to sway anyone’s heart,” he praised himself and smiled proudly.

Li Hua hit his arm and asked him if he had already started to look at other women. “How could you do this to me?” She inquired when Lóng Wei held her wrist. She raised the other hand but he caught it too.

He put them behind her back and pulled her up. “Leave me,” she struggled in his grip.

“I do not plan to,” Lóng Wei said and kissed her hard.
