Chapter 112 - See My Body?

"I am not afraid of any bet. I just do not want to do it," Sheng Li proclaimed and leaned back.

"You are afraid that you will end up giving your heart to me," Ying Lili opined.

Sheng Li realized how Ying Lili was playing with his mind. "I will end up taking your heart. I have found out how to woo you. Just one move and I can make your heart flutter for me," Sheng Li pronounced.

Ying Lili gave a slight laugh. "You are overconfident," she quipped. "Just accept that you are afraid to fall in love with me, that's why you are not accepting the bet."

Sheng Li stared at Ying Lili for a few seconds and said, "Say whatever you want to say but I will not play such games with you."

Ying Lili crossed both her arms and found how tough it was to make Sheng Li agree on something. After a long debate with herself, Ying Lili told Sheng Li, "You did not fulfill my wish so, you have to fulfill this at least." "What if you lose the bet? What will you give me?" Sheng Li asked Ying Lili.

"I will not lose," Ying Lili affirmed.

"And I will not let you win. I do not lose, don't you know?" Sheng Li pronounced proudly.

"Let's not put anything at stake. It is a kind of wish I want to fulfill. I want to be your wife in every aspect and for that, I not only need to confirm my feelings for you but also win your heart. And you cannot step back from it. Because this time I will defeat you and make you go crazy for me," Ying Lili delightedly said.

"Okay. Let's see how well you move my heart!" Sheng Li murmured and averted his gaze from her. Soon they reached the Palace. Sheng Li took Ying Lili to his chamber.

"Your bed is small," Ying Lili said as Sheng Li put her down.

"It is meant to be small for a reason. Do you know why?" Sheng Li asked Ying Lili, bringing his face closer to her, who shook her head to refuse. "So that the woman lying on my bed cannot run away," Sheng Li replied with a smirk.

He leaned back and went towards the other side to blow off the candles. "You have to give me a back massage. Today was one tiring day for me," Sheng Li stated as he blew off the candles except for one, which he took with him and placed on the bedside table.

Xing-Fu came and stood near the door. "Your highness, I have brought your clothes," Xing-Fu said politely.

"Leave them," Sheng Li replied. Xing-Fu quickly placed the clothes on the other table and left from there. Sheng Li turned and picked the dress for Ying Lili. He came to the bed and sat beside her. "I can help you in changing," Sheng Li was smirking.

Ying Lili snatched the clothes from him and pushed him away. She got down the bed when Sheng Li told her to be careful. "Go change your clothes in the dressing room," Ying Lili told Sheng Li who stood up from the bed. He stood behind Ying Lili such that there was an inch distance between their bodies.

"Why? Don't you want to see my body?" Sheng Li whispered in Ying Lili's ear. "I saw the other day how you were drooling seeing my perfect body. I do not have any shame in changing my dress in front of my wife. Now, she has decided to love me which means she is comfortable to see me," Sheng Li continued.

Ying Lili moved her fingers over the clothes she had in her hands. 'He is just playing with me' Ying Lili thought when she felt Sheng Li's lips on her earlobe. She widened her eyes. "Shall I teach you how to love?" Sheng Li asked. His hot breath was hitting against Ying Lili's ear.

"I want to see how long you would stand against me?" Sheng Li thought when Ying Lili turned to face him.

"Stop playing with me. And no touching until there will be confirmation of feelings. You are using dirty ways to...." Ying Lili stopped in the middle as Sheng Li had pulled her up by wrapping his arm around her waist while his other finger was on her lips to shut her up.

"If there will be no touching then how would I make your heart race? And I do not think I used any dirty way. Not even an hour passed and you are getting scared of falling for me," Sheng Li pronounced.

"Blushing!" Sheng Li voiced, looking at Ying Lili's cheeks. He left his pointer finger from Ying Lili's lips and moved it to her cheek. Ying Lili slapped off his finger from her cheek.

"We just reached here after w-walking so much that's why I am feeling hot," Ying Lili asserted.

"But you did not walk at all except in the market? We came in the palanquin and then I carried you in my arms here. You are feeling warm because of another reason, Lili," Sheng Li stated.

Ignoring Sheng Li's statements, Ying Lili said, "Don't you want a back massage? I am tired so get aside and let me change." Sheng Li let go of her waist. She looked around and saw a door on the left of the chamber.

Ying Lili with slow steps moved forward while Sheng Li was looking at her. "Stop!" Sheng Li said. Ying Lili turned to look when Sheng Li said, "You can change here. I will change in the dressing room."

"Are you hiding something from me? What is there?" Ying Lili asked skeptically and turned to open the door.

"If you will open it then the bet between us will end here," Sheng Li's threatening statement terrified Ying Lili to a little extent but at the same time, it had made her curious to check what's behind that door.

Ying Lili stepped back and huffed. "What is there that you are ready to end the bet between us?" Ying Lili complained, looking at Sheng Li.

"If you get close enough to me, then I might make you see what's behind that door but not now," saying this Sheng Li walked out of the chamber with the clothes in his hands.

Ying Lili looked at the door once again. "What could be there?" Ying Lili wondered.
