Chapter 119 The King Wants to Chase You (1)
When that sigh came out of Yu Qingli's mouth, Murong Yanhui had already begun to regret it. This was simply a challenge and torture to himself.
The sound of splashing water accompanied by a hint of fragrance spread in the room, making Murong Yanhui's throat begin to tighten. The words on the book in his hand seemed to turn into Yu Qingli's pretty face, smiling, serious, earnest, and naive. Every expression touched his heart.
I closed my eyes slightly and felt the slightly ambiguous smell in the air. Behind the screen, the beauty was bathing, and in front of the screen, I was suffering.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were tinged with lust. Murong Yanhui suddenly closed the book in her hand, and even her heart began to beat wildly.
He, Murong Yanhui, has never been a gentleman! Moreover, the woman bathing inside made his heart so moved.
Standing up from behind the screen and quickly sitting back down, Murong Yanhui breathed a sigh of relief. What was he doing? Breaking Lili's trust?! Furthermore, if he really did something to Lili right now, given her personality, he'd probably never win her heart again.
Murong Yanhui smiled bitterly. Not long ago, the King of Yan, who always prided himself on his romantic life, had also suffered such a setback. It seemed that ever since he met this woman named Yu Qingli, all his indulgence and wantonness had been almost forgotten. He was obsessed with this woman like a demon.
From initial curiosity, to appreciation, and then to fascination.
The longer we know each other, the harder it is to extricate ourselves.
She is like a beautiful mandala, which makes people fall in love with her at first sight and become more and more addictive.
He had never cared so much about a woman's mood before. Her every move seemed to touch his heart. Every time he was with her, the sense of fulfillment in his heart gave him an unprecedented satisfaction.
Murong Yanhui could hardly imagine how he would face the loneliness and solitude in his life after experiencing such satisfaction.
Regardless of Yu Qingli's feelings, he has already decided that he will be with this woman for the rest of his life!
When he came to his senses, Yu Qingli had already stood up from the bathtub outside the screen. Although it was not clear, her graceful figure was deeply engraved in his heart, making Murong Yanhui almost blood boiling.
Although I am no longer an impulsive teenager, my blood is still boiling!
"Your Majesty, you may bathe now."
Yu Qingli had quickly put on her clothes, her long jet-black hair draped over her shoulders, her jade-like shoulders slightly exposed. The half-covered look pushed Murong Yanhui's endurance to the limit.
Murong Yan stood up from his chair again and said, "I will be back soon!"
Then Yu Qingli felt a figure flash before her eyes, and Murong Yanhui jumped directly from the window. She was shocked and took a few steps to look out of the window. She saw Murong Yanhui rushing to the well in the backyard, picked up a bucket of cold well water and poured it on her body.
Is he that hot?! He actually bathes in well water?
But soon, Yu Qingli figured out the reason and couldn't help but smile slightly. This man really often surprised her.
After shuddering all over, Murong Yan felt that the desire roaring in his chest had subsided a little. He looked up at the beautiful woman in the window who seemed to be smiling, and wondered if he had been looking for trouble!
But it's worth it to get a smile from a beautiful woman.
After struggling for a long time, Murong Yan finally washed up, changed his clothes, and returned to the seventh floor.
The exquisite food had already been served. The two people, who were already hungry, didn't care about their image anymore and started to eat with relish. Soon, the food on the table was cleared out.
For the first time, Yu Qingli had a very comfortable feeling, a kind of comfort and comfort that came from the bottom of her heart. She had never felt so relaxed even in her previous life.
Soon someone came and cleared the table, leaving Murong Yanhui and Yu Qingli looking at each other in silence.
Murong Yanhui suddenly remembered something, stood up and walked to the cupboard, took out a small green porcelain bottle from it, and pulled Yu Qingli's hand while she looked at him with doubt.
"Lili, this is the first time I've met a woman like you who likes to show off. Your hands are already broken, right? If you don't take good care of them, I'm afraid they'll leave scars."
Yu Qingli was stunned, and her heart warmed. She looked up and saw Murong Yanhui with a serious face. He carefully poured out the ointment from the small porcelain bottle and applied it gently on Yu Qingli's hand. Every part was extremely delicate, and the look in his eyes was as if he was holding a rare treasure.
Yu Qingli felt a little embarrassed and her heart was a little complicated. This man never concealed his interest, pampering, and even desire for her!
The bony fingers tightly grasped Yu Qingli's slender fingers, which was unexpectedly harmonious.
Such a scene made Yu Qingli feel as if she was in a dream. Thinking about it carefully, she realized that even when she was in love with Murong Feng in her previous life, she had never been treated like this.
It seems that God really played a huge joke on her. A man who had almost no connection with her in her previous life was showing her all kinds of kindness in this life.
How should she respond to this deep affection?! If everything in her past life was just a dream, then she could accept this deep affection without any scruples. But now, she couldn't. She knew this deeply, so the only thing she could do was to refuse.
She unsheathed her hand from the warm, strong hand without leaving any trace, lowered her brows, and said calmly, "Thank you, Your Highness. It's just a few blisters."
Murong Yanhui felt inexplicably lost. He put the celadon bottle away, quickly adjusted his mood, and said, "Lili, I heard that taking a walk after a meal can help you live to ninety-nine. How about we go out for a walk?"
Yu Qingli glanced at Murong Yanhui and asked, "Does Your Majesty also believe in this folk saying?"
"That's natural. Wisdom lies among the people!"
Yu Qingli thought that what he said was not wrong, but it surprised her to hear it from someone like Murong Yanhui.
"Let's go!"
Murong Yanhui naturally reached out to pull Yu Qingli, but Yu Qingli put her hands into her sleeves and avoided Murong Yanhui's hand.
"I can walk by myself!"
Murong Yanhui was stunned. He was really getting used to this woman's rejection. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and didn't care. He stretched out his hand and put his arm around Yu Qingli's waist. With a smile on his face, he said, "I know, but I just like to hold Lili's hand and walk with her!"
Yu Qingli was speechless and reached out to push away his touch. This was in public, and she still wanted to consider her reputation!
Thinking of Yu Zhengsha's previous test of her, Yu Qingli couldn't help but speak, "Your Highness, our frequent interactions have caused many unnecessary misunderstandings. From now on, if there is nothing else, I hope Your Highness will not bother me anymore."
Murong Yanhui's eyes flashed with confusion. Hadn't they been getting along very well these days? Why did Yu Qingli's attitude suddenly change like this?
"Lili..."
"Also, I hope that the prince will call me Miss Yu in the future. Otherwise, if such an intimate name gets out, it will damage Qing Liming's reputation."
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, "Lili, what do you mean by that?"
Yu Qingli said seriously, "Your Highness, don't you understand? Your Highness has always been a playboy, and he's probably just curious about Qingli. After all this time, I think his curiosity should have been satisfied. So, there's no need for Your Highness to continue pestering me, right? The most important thing is that the eldest prince has already promised Qingli that he will marry me as his consort. Qingli doesn't want him to misunderstand me at this point."
Murong Yanhui's eyes turned slightly cold. Did this woman have to constantly remind herself of her thoughts? Or was Murong Feng already deeply engraved in her heart?
No! He won't allow it!
He would never allow the woman he liked to fall into the arms of another man, especially Murong Feng, who he could not accept.
Pulling Yu Qingli's wrist and forcing her to look into his eyes, Murong Yanhui asked coldly, "What on earth can he give you?! Why are you so obsessed with him?!"
Yu Qingli felt bitter, obsessed? Yes, she was indeed obsessed in her past life, but in this life, she was helpless! Too much hatred accumulated in her heart, which was the power that kept her going through another life. Only that man, the man named Murong Feng, was the one she could never forgive!
But now, facing Murong Yanhui's affection and questioning, she could not show her true self.
A slightly sarcastic smile played on her lips, "Why are you so serious, Your Highness? You should know that to me, you are just a child's play, but the eldest prince can promise me a bright future."
"Brilliant?!" Murong Yanhui sneered, "Lili, you are so naive. Do you really think Murong Feng is sincere to you? I'm afraid that becoming the prince's consort will be the beginning of your suffering!"
Yu Qingli was shocked. This person really hit the nail on the head!
It’s a pity that such a warning came so late!
"So what? At least, I will have a name, right?"
Murong Yanhui's face darkened. "Lili, do you want a status so badly?"
Yu Qingli sneered, "Of course. After all, I'm the daughter of a prominent prime minister. Shouldn't I strive for a good future for myself? Besides, the eldest prince is as gentle and elegant as jade. To become his consort is something many young ladies dream of."
Murong Yan looked at Yu Qingli steadily. Her eyes, which had always been clear, were now flashing with a light that he could not clearly see. Even though she tried her best to hide it, he could still clearly see the pain and hatred that flashed in her eyes.
"Lili, do you have to act like this even in front of me?"
"Pretending?" Yu Qingli tried her best to show a serious expression, "Your Highness, you are wrong. From the beginning to the end, I have always been serious. I said that I will not marry anyone other than Murong Feng in this life!"
"What if the King doesn't allow it?!"
"No? What qualifications do you have to say no? What grounds do you have to say no?!"
"Of course I am qualified, because I have already decided that I will marry no one but you in this life!" Murong Yanhui almost shouted, but this sentence made Yu Qingli completely stunned.
Did she hear correctly?! He said he would marry her?!
