Xing felt like she was sucked out of oxygen from her lungs by the merciless man above her refusing to let go of her lips. Even though they had kissed a lot of times before, this time it felt different as it looked like he was kissing her to prove a point. Her hands moved from her back to his chest as firm as a strong oak tree to try and push him back.

That's when she felt it in his pockets something and she paused her hands to see what it is.

This isn't a dagger and so what it is.....? Chenglei realised she had found the hairpin and stopped kissing her and placed his hand above her hand to stop her from getting that. His jumpy action only made her more curious and she tried to get it out of his pocket with more ferocity.

"What is it?", she asked trying to get it but her hands were rightly clasped by him.

Chenglei felt tenacious to give her the engagement hairpin like this and he cursed himself for forgetting that he had kept the hairpin in his pockets. He had planned to bring her to the Jin Manor he was building for her in the West near the Falin city for proposing.

He had acquired a large part of land that encompasses forest, mountain and seashore because his woman liked all such places. Inside that place, there is a cliff facing the sea and he had planned to build the 'Serene Resplendence Pavilion' there, especially for them to watch the sunsets and that's where he wanted to propose. The construction was almost over but it is paused for now. Her and him drinking tea together and watching sunsets holding each other for the rest of their lives... Wouldn't that be wonderful?

The other parts of the Manor were already half built but he had paused the construction since all their plans changed after the Martial Arts Tournament and he had to leave and be with Shihong.

Even now he has plans to give her the hairpin after Old Rong is dead and after he successfully brings her out of the Palace.

Xing whose hands were held by Chenglei could sense that thing Chenglei is hiding must be a hairpin. Her mood fell as she wondered if it might be the engagement hairpin he had promised her before.

Is he refusing to give it to me now because I told him that I cheated on him? Did I miss my chance to get it? Should I have not told him that? But I want that! I want to be his wife! Her thoughts wandered making her sad.

Chenglei who had entirely different thoughts than her, saw her under him, with her face flushed. Her lips were swollen and even the area around her lips were red courtesy of the kisses they shared.

She looked gobsmackingly astonishing and he wanted to devour her!

But as he was looking at her, Chenglei saw her eyes that were looking at him wandering to the side and there seemed to be a thin layer of glaze forming in her clear eyes.


She is thinking of some dumb things, isn't she?

Chenglei sighed internally, realising her grip on the hairpin had loosened as if she determined by herself that she won't be getting it and forcefully held her hands firmly.

Does she think that I'm having second thoughts of giving this to her? Silly girl! That is never going to happen! And, With everything happening with us, what is the use of postponing everything, right? He thought. She is in my arms right now and she still loves me the same way she loved me forever and why should I be bothered with trivial matters like looking for perfect time and place. She won't care about that anyway!

Having reached to a decision, He wrapped his other arm around her back and lifted her to sit on his lap. With her sitting on his lap, her eye level was slightly higher than his and he kissed her lips once again, this time gently.

Xing opened her eyes wide by the sudden act of Chenglie. Now what is he planning?

Her surprised expression made him smile and he kissed her hand that was held by him and took out the hairpin.

"Táng JiaXing, marry me?",he said and gave her the hairpin. How many times am I proposing to her again, he thought... But this time he will marry her soon!

Xing who had persuaded herself to not expect the hairpin from her man did not expect this sudden development and she froze not knowing what to do.

Is he actually asking me to marry him even after I told him that I cheated on him? Oh, My Prince! What did I ever do to have met you? What should I do with you? You always... always make me feel that I am a little person compared to you! What would I give in return for your love? What could I give?

Xing felt her heart filled with extreme joy. The man she wants to spend the rest of her life with, wants her no matter what! That thought made her eyes clouded and she could not hold her tears. But for some odd reason she didn't want him to see her tears and hugged his neck.

" Why are you hiding? Let me see your face!", Chenglei who wanted to see her reaction was surprised that she is hiding her face.

"No! I'm looking silly! You cannot see me like this!", she hugged his neck closer and was comforted by his scent and his hug.

"Stop it!", she said between sniffles and hit his back as he was shaking with laughter. He could not help but laugh at her for thinking that he hadn't seen her looking silly before. Since when did she become this self-conscious?

Xing wanted to look her best for accepting the hairpin. The previous time when he gave her his dragon hairpin, she didn't even know what it meant. But now, as she knew the meaning of it and accepting the hairpin as a way of accepting him as her husband, she was thrilled and her heart was racing with excitement and tears didn't stop flowing out of the joy she felt.

"If you don't want to accept..."

"I want!", Xing screamed before he finished his sentence and plucked the hairpin out of his grip and hugged him back, all in lightning speed making him shake his head.

This girl.... My girl!

She looked at the hairpin with his scent clouding her senses and the golden hairpin she had with the carved plum blossoms fixed on it had the same design as the ring he previously gave her and she winced looking at her finger where the ring was missing.

Did I lose it...?

Only when she remembered that she had kept it safe in her tent did she feel relieved.

"Xing!", he called and his voice showed the deep passion he held and Xing knew he wanted to make her his own.

"You are stupid...", she said still not willing to look at his face. He was closely holding her and was scratching and tickling her back to make her look at him.

"Why?", his deep voice provoked her emotions and she took a deep breath to control herself from sobbing out.

" I told you I cheated on you... Either you are stupid and not understand what it means or you have no self-respect and don't mind a tainted woman like..."

"Or...", he pried her from his neck and made her look at him, "I know you didn't cheat!"

Xing looked deeply at Chenglei and she knew he wasn't doing lip service. He actually believes her.

He trusts me! Still!

She hugged him back and decided to tell him everything... Well almost everything. She didn't want to tell him about the dream. She knew he cannot handle it.

"I had a dream... Well, a nightmare! A realistic one... You were there calling for me and I was running to you and hugged you but in reality I hugged the Emperor who was beside me. His voice calling for me resembled yours and so I misunderstood", she paused for his reaction and felt only his arms hugging her and patting her back.

Xing purposefully left what she dreamt of and the fact that the Emperor undid her waistband. If she said that, they'll have to announce for national mourning soon and she didn't want that.

"That is not cheating!", he said. This silly girl! Wasn't this a misunderstanding...?

He knew how sometimes she get distressed over a dream, he had personally seen that. All he worried was that he was unable to be near her and his brother had to take care of her.

But... There is a lot to think of here... Right?

"So have you hugged another woman?", the green jealousy monster inside Xing woke up once she realised he is not going to hold her responsible for that incident that haunted her and she looked at Chenglei with scrutiny.

"Before I leave, Shihong hugged me and I had to pat his head before he let me go. So... did I cheat?", he asked her raising his eyebrows. He had to find an Inn on the way and he burned the clothes that was touced by Shihong and took a long bath to clean himself as he felt dirtied by that person's touch.

Imagining Shihong and Chenglei together, Xing didn't feel that there is any chance of Chenglei falling for Shihong and so she shrugged.

Oh, My Prince! If you know that there is a possibility that Shihong might kill me, will you let him live?

Xing didn't want to tell him because she knew if she tell him, he'll try to change everything and the future might change too. In that case, what if Chenglei is the one who get hurt? She'd rather get hurt herself than getting Chenglei involved. And this dream might actually help her escape if it comes to pass. In a way, it is good!

"You can hug any woman you want!", she said knowing there is a possibility that she won't live to see that.

"Is that so?", Chenglei asked with his deep voice getting a bit cold. He didn't like what she said.

How many times should I tell this dumb woman? He was displeased and he bit her shoulder over her clothes and he felt bad when she winced and he stopped himself from biting too hard.

Let this teach you a lesson!

"Ouch! What... ",Xing scrunched her face and rubbed her shoulder where he bit and looked at him and he held her cheek,

"Xing, what do you see in my eyes?", he asked with his eyes focused on her.

Xing looked down at his eyes. The room was with no lamps but some mysterious light filled the room enough for the room to be bright enough to set an romantic ambience. She could sense a lot of spells and she couldn't differentiate what is for what. This entire place was sealed shut in every way so that no human, god or demon could trespass.

Fei Lian had put a lot of effect in reuniting a pair of lovers for their meeting, Xing thought.

"What is in your eye..?", Xing looked into that eyes that were looking gently and firmly at her. The golden specks were shimmering in that green of his eyes like the stars on a dark moonless night. And her face was reflected in his eyes and she didn't look that bad as she predicted even her hair was not that dishevelled probably because of the braids...

Xing just like any other woman checked her reflection in that reflective surface and felt good about herself.

His hands left her cheeks and gently travelled to her shoulder and rubbed where he bit her and Xing felt her senses go jumbled by his warm touch.

"What do you see?", his deep voice grazed her ears.

"What do I see?", Xing asked a bit peeved by his pestering. His eyes are perfectly divine... Is that what he wants me to say? Well, I won't! She pouted,

"There is nothing but me... My reflec..."

"Yes, my moon! There is only you", he curled his lips, "IN MY EYES , IN MY HEART AND IN MY LIFE ... THERE IS , WAS AND WILL BE ONLY YOU!", he smooched her lips which swallowed the rest of her words, as she was completely astonished.
