Chapter 192 - New Day (1/2)
Lei Xing eventually stopped and just let him hold her hand as she pouted and glared at him. The Emperor's diminished, he gently caressed her hand then seriously asked, ”If you don't have such intentions, why do you think I will?”
Lei Xing blinked and stared at him with raised eyebrows, then she slightly knit her brows and lowered her eyes as she quietly said, ”You can't say about the future...I just wanted it for the future.”
The Emperor scrutinized her for a bit and then sighed, ”Xing er', you're not someone to give your feelings out to someone lightly...” When she glanced up at him, he narrowed her eyes with a smile and added, ”I have experienced that.” Lei Xing flushed and embarrassedly lowered her head again.
The Emperor snorted and pat her head and then lowered his hand to her cheek and raised her head and said, ”Neither am I. In this life, you are the first woman, no, person, the only person that I have ever come to love...”
Lei Xing blinked at him for a bit, and then absentmindedly removed her hand on the blanket, letting fall, she placed on his hand on her face and weakly smiled as she said, ”I believe you...but I just want you to know...that wh-if, IF” She stressed when she saw him starting to frown, her smile warmed and lightly stroked the back of his hand and continued, ”If...if you ever come to feel for someone else, all you have to do is tell me and I will leave you be, just know that.” Tears streaked down her face as she said that but yet she just smiled at him.
{...I will never cling...Never...}
The Emperor held her face in both his hands and wiped her tears with his thumbs and said, ”There will never be another, know that.” Lei Xing's smile widened but he could still see the hesitation in her eyes. He leaned down and gave her a light kiss and smiled at her as he caressed her face, she was no longer crying...but she still looked so hurt to him.
The Emperor did not know what to do to ease her fears and worry. To his surprise, Lei Xing suddenly held onto his face with both her hands as well and kissed him. Then she moved back and caressed his face and said, ”Stop thinking.” And then she kissed him again, this time even slipping tongue in and deepening the kiss. Her hands moved from his face to wrap around his neck as she pulled him down to the bed.
{...Let's not think...}

”Wake up...Wake up...” The Emperor heard a soft voice saying and felt someone poking his face and nudging him. He smiled and took hold of Lei Xing's hand and kissed it and opened his eyes to see Lei Xing looking up at him from his shoulder, still snuggled against him. She was smiling at him and her eyes were clear.
The Emperor rolled her on her back and kissed her lips, but before he could deepen the kiss, Lei Xing pushed him back with a little chuckle and informed, ”They're waiting for you...” The Emperor ignored that and leaned back down and caught her lips again. Lei Xing smiled and eagerly kissed him back and even brought a hand and caressed his face.
But before they could fully indulge in their reigniting passion, Eunuch Li's voice carried in from outside, ”Your majesty, you need to get ready to attend for Court.”
The kissing duo stopped and Lei snorted and stroked his face and smilingly said, ”It seems they got impatient and went to find Eunuch Li. You should go before they burst in here to drag you off.” Another Eunuch had been calling for him for a while now and it was his call that woke Lei Xing. But then that one stopped for a few minutes and now Eunuch Li was here, and she reasoned they probably went to find him to come to handle his Emperor when neither of the room's inhabitants responded.
The Emperor chuckled and kissed her cheek and then her ear and nuzzled into her hair. He did not want to leave. He kissed his way back to her smiling lips again when Eunuch Li again called, ”Your majesty...” The Emperor groaned in annoyance and Lei Xing snickered and then gave him a quick kiss and then patted his cheek and said, ”Go on.”
