25 Chapter Seven | Prince Baek Ah (1/2)

It was deep into the night a week later. Yue Mian stood in front of a house in the mountains.

There was no light burning inside the house but the sounds of lovemaking echoed deep into the forest. At first, she was befuddled by this but knowing him, this was expected.

The sky was lit with a bluish-purple hue that showed its beauty when the sounds finally settled.

She was sitting on the porch, resting against the railing when she heard footsteps. Closing in on her, she moved slightly.

The door opened and the one she was looking for walked out with his robe hanging loosely not covering all the important parts only his back and behind.

Walking to the side of the house he returned with a bucket of water and closed the door behind him coming out again after half an incense stick.

As he stepped out, she spoke with a lazy tone, ”Your stamina is impeccable, I truly find the one under you with much pity.”

Stopping in his tracks, he turned around with his eyes still dark with lust. Looking at her his eyes widened. His stunned gaze mused the one in front of him.

Dropping the bucket of water, he rushed to her side and wrapped his arms around her. With red eyes and a strained voice he said, ”YuMi, I thought you were dead.”

”Do you honestly think that this master you serve is so weak that she would die,”she asked still in his grasp.

He pulled back, gave her a once over and said with a chuckle, ”Of cause not, my master wouldn't but you did promise to meet me and never showed up, you also promised letters but never sent them. Can you really blame this servant for having such thoughts?”

Rollingher eyes at him she stepped down and sat on the edge of the porch and said, ”No but you seem to be having the time of your life with the one side.”

Looking at her guilty he said, ”Mn, I seem to have fallen in love, but our love is forbidden.” Waving her hand she said, ”Don't worry, I will protect you both.”

He tidied up and made tea for her. Watching the dawn of this new day, he realised that it was finally about to start… the anticipated fight for the survival of the century, the ascension of his princess.

Yue Mian ordered him to explain to her what she missed out on. Telling her about everything made him forget his lover. Said lover woke up to the sound of their laughter.

With an aching body said lover got up and walked to the door. Opening the door to see his lover laughing with someone whom he had never seen before made him jealous.

Walking out and standing on the porch while leaning against, feeling as though he is about to faint he called out to his lover, ”Sheng!”

Startled by the sudden call, the two turned in unison to look at the one standing on the porch.

Quickly getting up he ran to his lovers' side and asked in a worried tone, ”Why are you up, I told you before that you should rest longer.”

Glaring at Yue Mian then looking up he said, ”I came to see why there was so much noise.”

Yue Mian sipped on the tea trying to hide her laughter, ”Could this person be jealous?”

Looking at the couple she said, ”Yu Sheng, help him get dressed and bring him out, I'd like to have a talk with him too.”

Yu Sheng answered respectfully, ”Yes.”

Picking up the hint of respect in Yu Sheng's voice and frowned. The two of them later came out after Yu Sheng gave him a back rub.

Seated in front of her, she poured them all tea and started, ”Prince Baek Ah, thank you for looking after and keeping Yu Sheng company in my absence.”

The corner of Prince Baek Ah's mouth twitched.”Who are you?”

Yu Sheng was about to say something about Prince Baek Ah's manners but Yue Mian stopped him.

Glaring at Yu Sheng he mumbled to himself.

”I am Yu Sheng's cousin, Ye Yue Mian, it is a pleasure to meet you again after so many years.”

Prince Baek Ah froze. The person in front of him was basically dead according to what he heard but to see her here before him he felt terrible.

He looked at Yu Sheng who sat beside him. With her being back in the picture, this could only mean that his days with Yu Sheng ended here.

Sensing the distress in his eyes Yue Mian asked, ”Prince Baek Ah, do you want to stay by Yu Sheng's side?” - nodding his head with tears forming in his eyes.
