Chapter 130 - I Will Open My Heart To You

Ying Lili and Sheng Li looked at each other. "How could you do that? You pushed me away!" Ying Lili complained and averted her gaze from Sheng Li.

Sheng Li rubbed the skin between his brows and then moved towards Ying Lili. "I do not know. My body just reacted that way. Sorry," Sheng Li apologized.

Ying Lili looked back at him. "Why? I was only resting my head on your shoulder. Can't I even do that? What kind of husband are you?" Ying Lili's question made Sheng Li feel bad, so he told her to rest her head on his shoulder.

"I do not want to," Ying Lili snapped at him. Sheng Li chuckled and, using his left hand, rested Ying Lili's head on his shoulder. "You get angry so quickly, Wildcat," Sheng Li said as he looked at the lake.

"Tomorrow we have to leave for the Southern Province so let's focus there. We have to resolve the matter there. Zhang Yong will be executed today. Weng Wei will be mad after hearing the decision of his majesty. But she will calm herself down till we return," Sheng Li deduced.

"But she can send someone behind us. The Ex-Prime Minister said that someone in the Shrine is helping Weng Wei. He does the work for her. Sheng Li, there is someone who is very sharp and smooth in executing the plans of Weng Wei," Ying Lili expressed her worries.

"But after all these events, she will stop for a while," Sheng Li affirmed. A complete silence surrounded the two when Ying Lili broke the ice.

"Why don't you tell me about your past? Now, we are partners, so you shall share things with me too," Ying Lili proclaimed. Sheng Li glanced at her when he heard Ying Lili, "I do not feel good when a third person tells me that the Crown Prince suffered in childhood. I feel like I am not an important person to you, which makes me sad sometimes. I have lost both of my parents so I know the pain that is still there in you after losing your mother."

Ying Lili had rested her words and waited for Sheng Li's reply. But like all the times, he was silent. Ying Lili realized that Sheng Li still did not trust her. She stood up from the ground, which confused Sheng Li. "I want to go back," Ying Lili sternly said.

Sheng Li too stood up and confusedly looked at her. "It has been only 15 minutes here and you are asking to return?" Sheng Li asked Ying Lili.

"Then what should we do here? You do not talk when I ask something from you. It feels like I am throwing myself on you in everything. I understand that you do not trust me fully. I told you I will love you, cherish you and give you an equal shoulder, but then it feels like you do not need me," Ying Lili stated in a dejected tone. She stepped forward to walk away from there when Sheng Li grasped her arm and pulled her back.

They both looked at each other. "You conclude things quickly and sometimes come to wrong conclusions," Sheng Li pronounced. Sheng Li then wrapped his other arm around Ying Lili's waist and pulled her towards him.

"Fine! I will open my heart to you but you have to Love me to the point that you want to kill everyone who comes in my path and become cruel to them for me," Sheng Li said with a menacing expression. "Will you do this?" Sheng Li queried Ying Lili, gazing into her eyes.

"Yes, I will do," Ying Lili replied. "You cannot step back from your words," Ying Lili told Sheng Li and then raised her pinky finger. "Give me a promise that you will Love me to this point that you will turn kind to those who are innocent, and amend your ways to become a True Ruler," Ying Lili pronounced.

Sheng Li left the grip on Ying Lili's arm and grabbed her pinky finger with his. They both locked each other's pinky fingers and then made a promise by touching their thumbs on each other.

A smile carved on Ying Lili's lips, and she tiptoed. She gave a light peck on Sheng Li's right cheek and pulled away. "You are blushing, Sheng Li," Ying Lili said and walked past him. Sheng Li touched his cheek and turned to Ying Lili.

"I am not blushing. Don't deduce things in your imagination," Sheng Li pronounced.

Ying Lili turned and smiled at him. "I know you have never been kissed by any woman like that. You don't need to hide from me."

Sheng Li walked to her when Ying Lili turned and started running. "Hey, stop there! Why are you running?" Sheng Li shouted at her and increased his walking speed.

Ying Lili ascended the stairs to the pavilion which was made beside the lake when Sheng Li caught her. He pinned her against the pillar and leaned closer to her. "So, what were you saying there?" Sheng Li queried her. His breaths hit on Ying Lili's lips which made her nervous.

"That you were blushing," Ying Lili replied.

"No, not that. What did you say after that?" Sheng Li questioned her.

"That you were never kissed like that," Ying Lili stated. "Now, let me go," Ying Lili asserted when Sheng Li refused.

"Let me give you something back," Ying Lili heard Sheng Li and she felt Sheng Li's lips on hers. Giving a light peck on her lips, Sheng Li leaned back and noticed Ying Lili's reaction. He left his one hand from her arm. Extending his index finger out, he started moving it on Ying Lili's face to trace the outline of her side face.

Ying Lili's heart was pounding when she heard Sheng Li, "You have given your heart already to me! Earlier you used to shout at me for touching and kissing you without your permission. I won the bet. An-Ying Lili fell for Han Sheng Li first. Now, you have to do everything which I will ask for without asking any questions."
