Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Lei Wanxi with sparkling eyes said, "Sister Lili confessed to you, Brother Sheng. How could you be so dumb?" He happily hugged Sheng Li. "You got such a precious woman for you who loves you wholeheartedly. I am so happy for you, Brother," Lei Wanxi said and pulled back.

"Brother Sheng, when did Sister Lili draw this?" Nianzu asked.

"Many days ago when we were in the Southern Province," replied Sheng Li. The smile from his lips was not disappearing.

"You shall answer her," Nianzu stated. Sheng Li nodded. "I had never imagined that she would confess to me this way. Though she did this in her drunkard state when she was awake, she told me to find the meaning. How could I be so naïve?" Sheng Li thought.

"Brother Sheng, you shall start learning art and philosophy. Sister Lili talks in such a language that is not understandable to you. You always used to say that no woman would ever love you because of your nature. But look, the opposite happened. I cannot even express the feelings I have at this moment. Sister Lili is so romantic, unlike our brother," Lei Wanxi said.

Nianzu agreed with Lei Wanxi. "Sister Lili indeed expressed her love uniquely. She must be hurt after brother Sheng did not give any response to her. Any woman would get disheartened! Such a beautiful confession and yet, Brother Sheng did not even reply. I wonder how Sister Lili could talk to you. If I were at her place, then I would have not talked to you," Lei Wanxi proclaimed and crossed his arms.

"Why are you blaming me? Wait, how do you know I have not confessed to her?" Sheng Li asked Lei Wanxi. "Oh, how can I forget that you had sent a spy to make me jealous!" Sheng Li stated.

"Brother, is that important now? The most important thing right now is that you need to confess your feelings for Sister Lili. Go and tell her the meaning of this. Tell her how you feel for her," Lei Wanxi affirmed. Sheng Li was confused regarding what kind of confession he would do.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Lei Wanxi shook up Sheng Li, bringing him out of his thoughts. "Brother, what are you waiting for? How long are you going to keep Sister Lili waiting? Go, tell her about your feelings," Lei Wanxi in a firm tone told Sheng Li who stood up.

"I thought about confessing to her tomorrow. I mean I have not planned anything. Unlike Lili, I am not a believer in art and I never once put any thoughts on these kinds of things. After knowing the meaning of this, it is more confusing for me to give a beautiful confession to her from my side," Sheng Li stated.

Nianzu and Lei Wanxi stood up from their respective seats. "Brother Sheng, Sister Lili would be happy hearing those words from you. A simple confession is also beautiful in its own way. Do not wait for tomorrow. You never know what will happen in the future. You have already delayed it so much, it is better to answer Sister Lili, now." Nianzu explained to Sheng Li who knitted his brows.

"Now?" "I cannot do that. I mean I want it to be special," Sheng Li proclaimed. "I will do it tomorrow. I mean Lili has given me an answer indirectly, and she waited for this much then I believe she can wait one more day," Sheng Li opined.

Lei Wanxi held his head upon hearing the statements of the Crown Prince. "Brother, let's suppose you have proposed to Sister Lili this, and if she had not given any response to you then, wouldn't you have felt dejected?" Lei Wanxi queried Sheng Li.

"I would have but…"

"There are no ifs and buts, Brother. You already let Sister Lili wait so much and then you openly tease her. This is very wrong, Brother. You shall answer Sister Lili. How could you do this to Sister Lili? Confess to her today else I will never talk to you a-and also Brother Nianzu will not talk to you… I will tell Sister Qi Jing not to talk to you," Lei Wanxi said in a loud voice.

Nianzu agreed with Lei Wanxi. When Sheng Li did not budge from his place, Lei Wanxi threatened Sheng Li. "Brother, I am going to Sister Qi Jing and will tell her not to talk to you ever," asserted Lei Wanxi and stepped forward when Sheng Li stopped him.

"I am going. I understand. You don't need to pressure me," Sheng Li replied and walked out from there. Nianzu and Lei Wanxi looked at each other.

"Brother Sheng is so stubborn. Let's go behind him," Lei Wanxi told Nianzu.

"Let's not disturb the Crown Prince. He has said that he is going to answer the Crown Princess," Nianzu answered.

"Brother, what if he had said that to escape us? We shall see him off till Zhenzhu Inn. Let's go," Lei Wanxi affirmed and the two Princes left behind the Crown Prince. But as they came out of the chamber, they did not find Sheng Li there. "Where did he go?" Lei Wanxi murmured. Nianzu asked Eunuch Chung about that.

"His highness has taken the route of Zhenzhu Inn," Eunuch Chung replied. This brought a smile to Lei Wanxi's lips, and he took a sigh of relief.

Sheng Li, oppositely, was thinking how he would confess to Ying Lili. He wanted it to be special, but answering her at that moment was also important. He realized that he indeed did wrong by not confessing to Ying Lili till now.

"What would be the best confession for her? A simple or something special which I have not decided till now!" Sheng Li mumbled when something clicked in his mind. The frowns which had appeared earlier vanished now because he had found the best way to confess his feelings to Ying Lili.

He went to Zhenzhu Inn happily. "Lili, forgive me for not answering you till now. I hope you will like this," Sheng Li thought and soon reached the Zhenzhu Inn.

Court Lady Xu greeted the Crown Prince. "Your highness, the Crown Princess is resting. Shall I wake her up?" Court Lady Xu humbly questioned.

"No. I am going in," Sheng Li said and walked inside the resting chamber of Ying Lili.
