32 The Legend Part 14 (1/2)

Of course! How could she be so stupid? Any woman who was picked off from the street would look so exceptionally beautiful, eye-catching for wealthy men to take them home. Why would she be so stupid to think that Hli Ja looked ordinary? How was she going to compete with her? Jealousy filled her with rage. She wasn't sure how to approach her enemy with the servants, and maids around.

After almost two weeks had gone by, a carriage arrived at the front gate, one early evening. The carriage door opened, and a man rushed out.

The servant opened the door and saw their lord had arrived a day early. He was in a rush. He greeted no one and went straight to Hli Ja's room, but she was nowhere to be found. He yelled for a maid and asked where she was. The maid told him she was in the hot spring house, bathing. Before the maid could even finish, he rushed out to the back.

Mua Kong stood right before the bathhouse. He hesitated to enter. After some internal struggles, he proceeded to enter the bathhouse. He quietly opened the door, walked past the shelves of towels, and robes, and parted the curtain veils but on the other side, Hli Ja was reaching her hands to part the curtain as well. She had just gotten out of the shower and was still in her robes.

Both of them were surprised. Mua Kong did not expect Hli Ja to be standing on the other side of the curtains, and Hli Ja didn't expect Mua Kong to arrive a day early. Mua Kong rushed up to Hli Ja and hugged her tightly.

He had missed her so much and was constantly afraid that the people in the main palace would create troubles for her. He did not even feel this uptight when she was still living with her grandma. He came and left at peace then, but he did not feel the same when she lived in his home.

Feeling a little suffocated, she mumbled, ”It's hard to breathe,” as she tried to gasp for air.

Her actions startled him. Afraid that he might have hurt her, Mua Kong loosened his embrace. He looked at her, gently ran his fingers through her wet hair, and cupped her flushed cheek with his hand.

Hli Ja lightly grabbed onto the hand that was on her cheek. She muttered, ”Thank you for coming back.”

As soon as she finished, he leaned in closer, gently kissed her lips and whispered, ”I missed you.”

Hli Ja wrapped her arms around his neck, and gazed at him, studying his face to see how he had been before she replied, ”I missed you too.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
