LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS 450 Weird Family

'I said it?'

Chenglei wondered for a moment. He'd been trying to say those words for a long time and just like that, he could say it suddenly...?

And the first thing that comes out of her mouth after I said it is... 'The trials are over?'

Ha...ha... Good thing she still is silly... She always knew I love her even though I couldn't say it, didn't she?

"Xing...",he held her hand and her eyes focused on him with a smile and he could see the thin glaze of tears in them.

"I love you", he repeated and he could see a teardrop falling from the corner of her eyes, same as him.

'Silly girl! You said you didn't care that I can't say it! But you do, don't you...'

"I love you... I love you too, Chenglei...", Xing who was filled with happiness to the brim, composed herself before saying it.

She thought she was fine by the way he always told her, 'I want you ' these days. She always replaced it by 'I love you' and that's why it took her long to recognise it and somehow her first thought was,

'Finally, the trials are over'

She always knew he loves her and he expresses it in many ways. And that never was her problem. The real problem was the 'Trials' that never was completed. Even though the G.o.ds promised not to interfere, who knows what the future might bring? Only when the trials are completed, she could feel relieved. And so that was the one she noticed first.

"I'm glad you could say it, my Prince... I'm glad"

"I love you, Xing", he said as he scooped her out of the tub.

Kissing her, he walked towards their bed. He has already sent everyone away and their entire courtyard was empty. There was only some maids in the next room where Little Xinxin was.

"I love you", he placed her on the bed and deepened his kiss and his hands wandered around her naked body. He wanted her...

"Chenglei... I'm..."

"Does it hurt?", he paused as he was entering her. He really couldn't wait but he didn't want to hurt her either.

"No...", she looked like a newly blossomed flower with her blush on and the perspiration on her face made it seem like dew drops on the flower.

"I feel full...", she said, whatever that means he couldn't understand. But he could see the bliss in her eyes.

"My love...", he kissed her as her legs wrapped around his waist. "How did I miss this...", he gently nibbled below her ears.

She always looked him this way... She didn't care about most things when she was with him. When there was a woman in his bed, she could be a little rational because she trusted him like he trusted her in the past.

And all I did was misunderstand her... I forgot her and since I didn't know her enough, I misunderstood her... And worst of all, I held her captive. I did it... Me!

No... That's not the worst... The worst thing I did that broke her was when I asked her if she was running to her lover... When did my moon had someone else even in her eyes?

But I said it!

That broke her and made her turn her back at me...

How pathetic was. I? How cruel was I? I can't forgive myself for that. Never!

How many days did she cry looking for the old me? I knew it all and out of misunderstanding that she wants to be with someone else, I just pretended I didn't know. I didn't even hug her and tell her that 'I'm here'. She'd have been happy... I made her weep!

Oh, Chenglei.... It is a miracle your moon is still willing to stay with you.

"Xing... Do you really not mind if I don't remember our past, forever?", he asked, the woman who is kissing his chest now.

There's another thing he liked about her. When needed, she'd take the initiative without being shy.

But... He almost told her he remembered the past. But... She really is not noticing the subtle clues and he could understand it because for her, it is not important anymore. She always had this one-track mind where she only notices the things she cares for at first glance. She did have this odd habit of not noticing things once she deemed it unnecessary or unworthy. It's something he loved and hated at the same time.

What changed?

" What..?", Xing clearly was not pleased he paused midway or even before starting but seeing his serious expression, she got serious too.

'He's been acting weird today and with everything happened today with me getting cured and the trials being over, could he have remembered the past too?'

"Did you remember the past?", she asked as she slipped out from under him and wrapping the blanket over her, sat leaning on the headboard.

Chenglei pulled the blanket from over her face and to his disbelief, there was a slight trace of disappointment in her face.

Okay...! What is this about?

"No. But why do you seem disappointed? ", he lied to her as he wanted to know her true thoughts. But he knew it should be something silly as she always was that way with him.

Also he wanted the memory for himself and it in no way did change the way he feels about her...other than this deep feeling of guilt.

Maybe that's why she doesn't want me to know..?

"Why you ask?", she puffed her cheeks and she looked more adorable.

"I was an ugly child... It's a wonder you fell for me. And I always cried with snot dripping from my nose and I ran around in dirty clothes. I was in no way pretty as I am now in the past. What if you remember that ugly me and leave me?", she curled her lips and he pulled her under him and chuckled as he kissed her neck.

" Silly! You were always pretty and... Why would I leave you? "

" I know... I know ", she moaned by the intensity of his kiss and he paused wanting to hear more of her true thoughts.

" Also... You loved me so much and you remembering the past... You'll definitely blame yourself and I don't want that... If only when I met you again, I didn't bother about the past and accepted you as I'm meeting you only then, a lot of problems between us could have been avoided... I just wanted you to know that you are the person who did a lot for me and loved me a lot. But I screwed up", her tone was contemplative since that was her original thoughts.

She wouldn't have minded if Chenglei didn't say that she was running away to her lover. She knew for sure, if he remembered the past he would not forgive himself for that. She'd rather he does not remember and only know of their story as what she told him.

'I knew it', he sighed. 'As always... You are the one who loves me the most, Xing! You want to spare me from feeling guilty right? ', he could understand her without her saying anything.

" No, it is not just your fault. I did a lot of wrong too... But...since we've already decided to not bring up the past.. Let's leave it behind us, okay?", he kissed her forehead.

She doesn't have to know that I remembered the past and I won't feel guilty anymore about the way I treated her for sometime. Let's leave the past in the past.

" Okay.. ", she smiled and wrapped her legs around his waist and twisted her body so that she ended up on the top and he was lying on his back.

"Well, shall we get to...."

"You... Nasty cat!"

Chenglei grabbed her waist and pushed her in the bed supporting her head at the edge of the bed.

With her long black locks flowing down the bed like a waterfalls, she lied on the bed with her eyes bright and cheeks blus.h.i.+ng as she bit her lower lips seductively.

This vixen!

Chenglei felt his l.u.s.t rising and both of them ended up spending their energy in the bed for a long time and fell asleep only when the sky started to brighten up.

---

AoTian couldn't spend the night peacefully as he realised what their family physician said only after he went to bed. Early in morning he ran to the physician himself and clarified his doubts.

'So my daughter has no problems now with conceiving? I can expect another grandchild soon? Oh, how perfect would be if her daughter takes after my MingLing? Of course my grand daughter will look like her grandmother. Who else will she take after? What should I name her... '

With all kinds of thoughts, he came directly to the Jin Manor without even thinking about the Court. He wanted to congratulate his daughter.

AoTian was sitting in the guest hall... More like he was forced to sit there when all he wanted to do was visit his daughter.

'This insolent Prince Jin! How dare he! He dares to give his servants the authority to even stop his father - in-law... I'm the f*cling Prime Minister and I cannot even visit my daughter? What kind of impudence is this!'

AoTian was fuming and the servants were trembling in their knees seeing the Prime Minister's fiery gaze. If looks could kill, they'd all be dead a million times now.

Lin Mubai was standing by the door twisting his fingers out of stress.

' It's not that any of us have the guts to stop the Princess Consort's father, right? It's just that those two are in their own world of... Hmmm... Doing what a married couple do... At a very odd time of - morning and clearly us servants cannot let some senior like a father to witness that, right? We are helping you, Lord Prime Minister. Believe us!

I tried to tell brother wolf about your arrival but he threw a jar at me... A jar... My poor face got saved just by an inch.... An inch!

Ah! This is what they call between the devil and the deep blue sea? One is the Prime Minister known for keeping his vengeance and the other is his brother wolf who is also the notorious 'Lone Wolf'... What should I do? I just want to live! '

Lin Mubai tried his best to get AoTian to leave but he proved how he was the father of their stubborn Mistress, by his own stubbornness and sat in the chair with his hands folded over his chest.

"Not leaving without meeting my daughter", he harrumphed.

' But the Prime Minister is required to be in court today since today is the Court Exams. My brother should be there too and it seems like he won't leave his courtyard. The Princess Consort held him back even after he got ready. If both of them are here, who will support the Emperor? Should I ask for help from the Emperor to call back the Prime Minister or brother wolf?

No, he'll be busy. And what could he do? He is scared of brother wolf too. Also, he is more scared of the Princess Consort to anger her father too.

What should I do? '

As any man who was in a life or death situation, Lin Mubai went and asked advice to his beloved wife who is wiser than him.

"Leave it to me", she smile and placing a hand over her protruding belly she walked to the guest hall.

She bowed deeply and tried to kneel. AoTian knew this was his daughters favourite maid and seeing her pregnant he felt his heart calm down a bit and asked her not to kneel.

" Lord Prime Minister Huang, we are deeply honoured by your visit here. If our Master and Mistress are here, they would have felt bad for not understanding your wish to meet them and wouldn't have allowed you to bother visiting their humble abode.

It's just that... you know my mistress and His Highness are just married. This morning, His Highness got ready for court but my Mistress saw her husband looking das.h.i.+ng and she couldn't hold back her love and currently they are otherwise engaged and us... "

" That's it? Why didn't that other fool mention this? ", AoTian stood up with a big grin in his face.

They are making a granddaughter for me and I misunderstood! How stupid of me! Of course this is what my daughter mentioned last night! I've gone stupid with age to disturb a couple!

" Don't disturb them and don't tell them I visited either. I'll visit them some other time. And....", he paused knowing he could tell his daughter, his granddaughter's name later,

"Nothing, just take good care of my daughter..Give her nouris.h.i.+ng food... And take care of yourself too. She likes you a lot."

He walked towards the exit but paused.

"And more importantly....", his tone turned a lot dangerous, " I'll inform the Emperor of Prince Jin's sickness that's keeping him from attending court today"

Everyone understood his underlying meaning and nodded.

Of course no one can misunderstand the Princess Consort as someone who keeps her husband from working and in her bed.

The Princess Consort cannot be called a "femme fatale"

AoTian smiled at Xiao Mei as they all understood him and left with a skip in his step, whistling in glee and both Lin Mubai and Xiao Mei sighed in relief.

What a weird family of powerful people who act silly like children! If the adults are like this, how weird would be the kids? Will the world be able to handle them?
