Chapter 88 The kiss (1)

Li Youde was still angry at Chen Hui for her previous words and the fact that she ran over to deputy general Chu. He had made up his mind to not give her any good expression. Who would’ve known that she will started crying? Not only that, but she was also questioning him?! Where did she get the face to question him?!

He cast her a glance and he was intertwined between the urge to mock or coax her. Finally, he just turned his head and said a bit impatiently, “What is wrong?”

He looked impatient, but in fact his ears stood upright and he waited to hear what Chen Hui will say.

Chen Hui didn’t give him attention immediately. Instead, she covered her face and cried very hurtfully. The cry was soft like a feather that moved Li Youde’s heartstrings a bit.

After waiting for a while and seeing that she was just crying and not speaking, Li Youde had to look at her and his voice softened a lot, “What nonsense are you saying?”

Hearing that his tone finally softened, Chen Hui moved closer to him. She covered her face, choked up and sobbed, “Did soldier Gu tell lord everything he saw and knew?”

Li Youde finally understood what Chen Hui meant. Seeing that she still cared as he had thought, he sighed and said helplessly, “Don’t listen to what others are saying.”

“There are no others. It is just what this Lady Chen thought,” Chen Hui whispered, “So many men have seen this Lady Chen’s arm. Lord must dislike this Lady Chen now, right? Perhaps, you will send this Lady Chen away soon.”

“There is nothing like that. Don’t speak nonsense,” Li Youde said with a sullen face, “You are already mine. How can I send you away?”

“Lord is lying!” Chen Hui smiled secretly, but she still pestered endlessly, “You obviously dislike this Lady Chen. You must be deliberately coaxing this Lady Che now. Even if you don’t send this Lady Chen away when we go back, you might throw this Lady Chen into Plum Yard and lock this Lady Chen up. This Lady Chen has long seen through lord!”

For a while, Li Youde didn’t know whether he should be angry about Chen Hui throwing dirt on him or whether he should feel heartache for her sensitivity and panic.

“I won’t lock send you away and also won’t lock you up,” It was rare for Li Youde to reason with Chen Hui patiently, “You were forced. Am I the kind of unreasonable person?”

Chen Hui answered yes in her heart. She raised her head and looked at Li Youde, “If lord really didn’t lie to coax this Lady Chen, then kiss this Lady Chen once. Then, this Lady Chen will believe that lord didn’t dislike this Lady Chen.”

Having said that, she lifted her chin slightly and closed her eyes. Only a pair of full red lips trembled slightly, making Li Youde unable to look away.

Chen Hui closed her eyes and waited. Two voices in her heart were betting. One said that Li Youde would never kiss her; the other said that Li Youde would kiss her. There was no conclusion after fighting with each other for a long time and Li Youde didn’t react. She didn’t feel that she had been kissed by him nor was she pushed away by him.

Chen Hui got a bit impatient from waiting. She quietly opened one eye, only to see that Li Youde was still looking at her in a daze. She didn’t know what he was thinking about. His expression was a little dazed.

Chen Hui opened both eyes abruptly. She bit her lower lip and said sadly, “This Lady Chen understands…From now on this Lady Chen will not annoy lord anymore.”

She turned her head, straightened up and wanted to sit back in her original seat but her hand was caught.

Chen Hui turned her head abruptly. Li Youde who was holding her hand seemed a bit surprised by his own actions. When facing Chen Hui’s gaze, he simply pulled her and let her sit beside him. He scolded with a stern face, “What temper are you throwing again? You really have the ability to throw a temper like this with me. Could it be that you are afraid that I will do something to you? Three days without a beating and a child will scale the roof to rip the tiles must be talking about you!”

• Three days without a beating and a child will scale the roof to rip the tiles: spare the rod, spoil the child

Chen Hui said, “Then give this Lady Chen a beating.” She deliberately leaned over with half her face as if she was angry.

Li Youde glared once, “You really got to have a dispute with me? When have I beat you?”

“Several times!” Chen Hui raised her hand to her chest, “It hurts so much here!”

Li Youde’s eyes flickered. He had pinched her chest, but could that be counted as a beating?

“Don’t mess around endlessly. Sit well,” Li Youde pushed Chen Hui, trying to keep her away from him.

Chen Hui said, “I didn’t mess around. It hurt, it hurt until now!”

“It has been a long time ago,” Li Youde looked at her with squinted eyes.

“This kind of aching of the heart will hurt even if it has been a long time,” Chen Hui gave a long sigh, “Thinking about this Lady Chen’s heart being broken by lord, I feel that dying in the rain of arrows that day would be nothing.”

“Pei, pei, pei, what nonsense are you saying?!” Li Youde said angrily, “Don’t say such things in the future no more!”

Chen Hui looked displeased at him and turned her head away from him.

Li Youde stared at Chen Hui for a long time. Seeing that she ignored him, his eyes hurt from staring. He wanted to get angry but it was a bit unreasonable. But letting it pass like this, he felt annoyed, not to mention about feeling oppressed.

Chen Hui sat quietly for a while and then suddenly whispered, “Lord, are you angry with me?”

“No,” Li Youde recovered quickly, but he sounded like he was angry.

Chen Hui glanced at him secretly. She suddenly leaned over and hugged Li Youde at his waist before he could react. She put her head sideways against Li Youde’s chest and said softly, “Lord, don’t be angry at me…I didn’t mean to anger you.”

The warmth on his chest and the confinement of his waist made Li Youde’s muscles tense up, but perhaps it was because it wasn’t the first time that he has been like this, he didn’t resist as he did at the beginning. Instead, there was a sense of fulfillment that a missing piece in his heart was filled.
