LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS 418 Getting Caged

Xing felt her heart squeeze thinking about the way he values human life when he said that she should have buried that woman. But then again he always thought that she was the only one worth living. And she is no better than him either.

"As many as you want", his grip on his waist tightened and his low voice didn't hide his ardour as he gently bit her ears.

" Not going to kill the women who come after you,Chenglei", Xing held his shoulders as he kissed her neck.

"Mmmm... I believe you weren't jealous", his long boney finger got to the ties in her waistband.

"I'm not jealous. She is a spy", Xing said hurriedly as she knew she won't be able to hold him back any more longer as she has been deprived of him for the past days and she needed his intimacy too.

"Got it! Not jealous. You burnt the furniture because there were demon rats only you can see",he chuckled as a gust of his breath fell on her chest now bare and his lips ended up on her collarbones suckling them.

"There were rats!", she held the back of his head and pulled his hair to get him off her but failed as he was sticking to her like a leech leaving marks all along her collarbone.

"And she is a spy - ah! ", Xing gasped as she was lifted from the floor and was carried towards the bed.

While walking, xing was kissing him while he undressed himself and his robes fell on the floor one by one and when they reached the bed both were in their birthday suits.

" Her maid has a lover from the Xia family of the capital city and they might be planning to take over the Imperial army",Xing stopped him from kissing her to death by placing her hands over his mouth.

"Hmm", Chenglei who was not in the mood for discussing politics with her at the moment sealed her lips after pulling her hands away from him. .

After the vigorous and long session of their love making that made even birds flyaway in embarra.s.sment, Xing was cuddled by Chenglei. Her dark hair was sprawled on his chest and her face was buried within the hair hiding her blushed countenance from Chenglei.

Xing was silently mourning about her lack of self-control with this man. She has decided to not sleep with him for at least a month since he allowed another woman in his bed yet she had failed miserably by sleeping with him the same day.

"Look at me", he spoke in a lazy tone and tried to find her face in that thick veil of jet black hair smooth as silk.

"No", she dug herself deeper into her hair.

"Agree that you were jealous", he grabbed her waist and tickled her as he pushed her under him.

He was turned on once more by her blushed face and the marks he left in her were still fresh making her more and more desirable.

"The Xia family..."

Xing's voice that was supposed to look stern but ended up being childish was interrupted with his playful kisses on her cheek.

"How did you get this idea about the Xia family?", he asked as he gently bit the tip of her nose.

Of course he'd been tracking them for years but they left no proof to convict them. And so he was waiting for their slip-up.

"I've heard rumours about their plans to take over the Imperial military during my travels in the past. Your name came up as a bigger problem since you interfered their plans and they tried to get you but till now you had impenetrable defenses.

But with my arrival, they thought I'd be the little crack on your iron wall of defence and they thought that my jealousy would keep you away from interrupting their family's affairs and keep you busy. Too bad I didn't bite their bait",she gently hit his back to prompt him to get down from her.

Of course she could think about this method because she knew Chenglei had previously used this method to save her from the Gu Family of the Water Kingdom and the Ran family's alliance by turning the Ran family against the Huang family using Ran Weici.

" So, you tortured her to get information. And you got the connection between the Jiang Miss and the Xia family. But how did you know about the Xia families plans?", Chenglei's tone became serious but there was a trace of disappointment and a lot of pride.

His wife is really capable but she did not torture that woman because she get to his bed.

Xing on the other hand did start to torture her a bit to scare her because she wanted to punish that girl for trying to get into bed with her husband. She was surprised by the torture brought out.

They must have thought that no one would let that incident with the girl to get out and would have predicted that this would cause a rift between the newlyweds but now this incident has become a bigger one as a missing case of a young miss and there sure will be confusion in the capital city.

Chenglei was impressed.

" I travel a lot and drink a lot. I'm a woman and most men won't take me seriously as they blabber. Also no one can drink as much as I do. And I can gamble really well and since I have a lot of money I usually gamble for informations rather than treasures", Xing traced her fingers through his eyebrows and seeing him getting displeased for some reason.

"Now that I've acted against their predictions and actually lost a Young Miss, there will be a frenzy and you can use it to finish of the Xia family's plans. I've successfully turned their plans of leaving you in the frenzy against them. See, aren't I a smart wife? Rather than getting jealous, I have successfully created an opportunity for my husband to take care of his issues.", she smirked.

"Annihilate them for me, Chenglei", she leaned forward and kissed his lips and her eyes were dark and cold, "I was the one who got the Chu family's military for the Empire. I will not let it go to some loafer"

"You are smart, alright", Chenglei said and kissed her eyes. He could not bear to see the sharp eyes of hers.

You are smart. You are rich. You have connections. You change dynasties. Emperors kneel before you. G.o.ds bow to you. You don't need me.

"You weren't jealous?"

All Xing could hear was the erratic heartbeat of Chenglei and she couldn't guess why because her eyes were tightly shut by him.

And then in the mild darkness, she let out her deepest fear.

There will be a day when Chenglei would want a child and he will sleep with another woman. That day when I told him that I cannot get pregnant, he froze and he didn't talk about it afterwards either. He still haven't Confessed to me, openly and I still don't know why he married me.

Jealous?

Worthless women who cannot contribute anything like me can't have the luxury or right to be jealous.

Xing who is stupid at times couldn't connect to the fact that he is unable to confess to her because of the trials.

If her confessions doesn't reach him because of the trials, then it is then possible that he is unable to confess to her because of the trials too.

" I'm not", she gulped swallowing her sorrows.

"You can sleep with other women, If you want to have.....", 'children'

Before she spoke the last word, her lips were covered with his and he kissed her with pa.s.sion and urgency.

She was just engulfed in her own sorrows leading Chenglei to believe otherwise.

He saw her supple pink lips quivering as she said that she was not jealous.

Because she doesn't care about me enough to be jealous, right?

When she said that he could sleep with other women, his heart broke and he didn't want to hear her talk anymore.

'Speak no more JiaXing! I won't let you leave me. You are too smart for me to handle and I will guard you inside my home till the day I live by any means necessary. I will be your sky and your mountain. You need no one else. You will forever be my Princess Consort and your lover won't even see your face or even hear about you again'

He thrust himself into her once again and her slightly painful moan was heard and he swallowed that too. He moved inside her making her reach ecstacy again and again until she pleaded to be left alone.

Xing who could feel the darkness seeping from him didn't think much of it since she knew that is the real him and she never thought he had planned to cage her inside their Manor.

Days pa.s.sed and things seemed normal to Xing as she was not someone who liked to wander around the city.

But even she noted that everytime she decided to take a stroll or go shopping something will come up making it impossible for her to leave the Manor.

Her father started visiting her Manor and her clothes and jewellery will be sent from the stores without her needing to go out, there were little to zero invitations she received for tea and banquets and the issues that needed her direct intervention will be magically solved somehow.

Also the letters she received from the other kingdoms and her little network of spies reduced too.

Xing doubted.... She was almost sure that Chenglei has a hand in it.

She is the one who blabbers everything to Chenglei out of habit and before she gets to solve it, he'd solve it himself.

Why does it seemed like I've been caged? Xing wondered. A big, bright, beautiful cage!

But... Why? What reason must he have to trap me inside the manor? Ah! I must have gone delusional thinking Chenglei would do it!

Xing changed her mind herself.

Chenglei himself seemed a lot tired these days and even though he was gentle with her, she could feel he was hiding a lot of sorrow in his heart. She tried talking to him and she even tried to talk about her inability to carry a child and it's effect on their marriage but he always seemed to be diverting those topics rather skillfully.
