Chapter 933: I want it right now (1/2)

“Long Feiye, let’s never part, alright?” Han Yunxi asked seriously. No matter the reason, she never wanted to leave him again, nor could she ever.

“Who bullied you? Speak!” Long Feiye was more concerned with that.

Who else could bully Han Yunxi like this? She was almost to the point of tears. If she didn’t fear Long Feiye interrogating him for the truth, she would have buried her face in his chest and had a good cry. But what was the point? She wasn’t the one who had suffered such miseries. It was no use even if she cried herself blind. She could only hold him tightly and feel his existence in her arms.

Thank goodness, thank goodness he’d survived. Thank goodness he’d grown stronger instead.

Seeing Han Yunxi’s eyes grow red, Long Feiye turned incensed. His voice changed into ice. “Just what’s going on? Who bullied you? Explain yourself!”

“That’s not it!” Han Yunxi pushed his hand aside and buried her face in his chest. “I just miss you, that’s all. I miss you…”

Han Yunxi wastn’t a clingy type, nor would she act like a spoiled child without reason. Seeing her like this made Long Feiye both anxious and angry. He bent down to cup her face and asked patiently, “Be good, tell me what happened?”

Han Yunxi shook her head and hugged him again like death. No matter how Long Feiye tugged, she refused to budge. Without a choice, he was about to ask Xu Donglin for answers when Han Yunxi let go of him to muffle his mouth.

“Long Feiye, I want to bear your children--a dozen of them, alright?” she asked.

Long Feiye gave a start, then broke into an irresistible smile. Of course that’s alright! But he had to figure out what was going on with this woman first.

“Why? All of a sudden…” his smile grew bitter. “Just what happened to you?”

“I...I saw Ning Jing and Tang Li and I felt miserable,” Han Yunxi could only use that excuse.

Tonight, all of Tang Li’s words had been reported to him by Xu Donglin. The man’s actions had surprised Long Feiye. He predicted that Tang Li would go against the Tang Clan elders as soon as he got his hands on Ning Jing again.

“Why so miserable?” Long Feiye didn’t understand the female heart, but he believed Han Yunxi’s words. Unhappily, he added, “Don’t worry, you won’t lose or get lost.”

“I’ll bear you children, alright?” Han Yunxi asked.

Long Feiye had never seen Han Yunxi so serious before. His lips quirked up in yet another grin as he nodded without hesitation. “As long as you’re willing!” But of course, he didn’t forget to add, “Let’s wait...until after we come back.”

Han Yunxi could hear the apprehension in his words. But she simply blurted out, “I want some right now!”

Right now…

Long Feiye was mildly startled before he examined her with interest. Did she really understood what he wanted? Sensing his ambiguous gaze, Han Yunxi immediately flushed as she realized she’d spoken too soon. “I didn’t mean--”

“You’re certain you want some...right now?” Long Feiye interrupted.

“No, I’m not…” Han Yunxi couldn’t explain herself.

Long Feiye purposely slowed down his words. “Sure, as long as...you’re willing!”

Han Yunxi was both embarrassed and annoyed. She tried to defend herself. “I’m talking about children! I want children! Not…”

Long Feiye finally broke into laughter as he stroked her hair. “If you don’t want that...how are you supposed to have any children?”

Han Yunxi’s face flushed redder as she was left with no retort. Really, she’d thoroughly lost to him! But thanks to that, her gloomy mood was brightened by this mix of tears, laughter, and anger.

How could this be?

She was the one who ached for him and wanted to give him a hug, but in the end he was the one comforting her and making her smile. Long Feiye...just how do I love you so that I can protect you as well?

Fortunately, Long Feiye dropped his questions, or else Han Yunxi wouldn’t know what to say next. She might as well have dug a pit and buried herself in it.

At nightfall, the group stopped by a small brook at the base of the mountain. Uncle Gao found a large tree and stopped the carriage there before starting up a fire. Xu Donglin went to catch some wild game, while Baili Mingxiang helped to cook the meat. Long Feiye carried Han Yunxi to the stream to change her dressings. The two guards watched with fear from the sidelines, uncertain as to when their poison would react. They only hoped for the princess to offer them the antidote soon.
