Chapter 48 - A Date (2/2)

"Are you not going to take responsibility for taking this King's first kiss?" he whispered to her ear.

Yi Ling blushed. It really was his first. She covered her face. She couldn't look at him.

"I didn't do it! You started it!" This jerk had the gal to accuse her. Hmpp.

He chuckled. She's too fun to tease, he thought.

"Alright, I did it. Then I'll take responsibility for you." He smiled. The ending was still the same anyways.

Yi Ling turned and looked at him, she couldn't believe it. She was trapped.

He chuckled, seeing her cute face.

"Don't worry, I'll wait for you to accept me. Im not a beast after all. I have been alone for many years, it wouldn't hurt to wait some more." He looked to her eyes, his dark purple eyes was trying to convey all his feeling for her.

He touched her cheeks and added, "As long as I can have you beside me. It's worth the wait." He lifted her chin up and give her a quick kiss on the lips.

She pursed her lips, she didn't know how to respond. It was the sweetest confession, she had ever heard. Mu Xin never did confess to her, although she feels that Mu Xin liked her. She nodded. Thankful that he was letting her think about it first. She needed to talk to Mu Xin first and clean it with him, she thought.

Seeing that she agreed, he was happy.

"Would you like to walk with me to the garden?" Fresh air would be good for her body and to spend time with her.

"Okay, but let me get cleaned first." she was still wearing her clothes from yesterday.

He smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside." He wanted to be next to her at all times. He kissed her head and stood up.

"Yu Ran! tell the servants to boil some hot water and serve Ling'er." he called out, Yu Ran was still standing outside.

"Yes, your highness." Yu Ran replied from outside.

King Jin left when the servants came in. He went outside and waited.

After an hour, Yi Ling came out looking beautiful as ever in King Jin's eyes. She was wearing a white robe with gold hue. Seemingly matching his Black and gold. His dark purple eyes was smiling.

"My Lady." He offered his arms towards her as she came next to him.

"Your highness," She accepted his arm as they walk towards the garden.

Yu Ran, a couple of guards and servants followed them from behind. They all couldn't help but smile. They never seen the King this happy before, they didn't know that he had a gentle side. They only wish for their King's happiness and they are all willing to protect that happiness.
