Chapter 439 - Names Of Our Kids
Sheng Li pulled back and said, "You eat fruits to seduce me?" Ying Lili giggled as it sounded ridiculous. "Do people eat fruits to seduce?" Ying Lili questioned him back. "You sounded funny, Sheng Li." She laughed again. Sheng Li felt happy to see Ying Lili happy after so many days. It was the smile that he yearned for a long time.
She felt Sheng Li's hand on her nape. "I talked about you, not about the other people." He drew her closer to capture her lips when Ying Lili pushed the bayberry between his lips and smiled.
Sheng Li grinned and chewed the berry. "You are preventing me from kissing you." His hand circled her waist and advanced to her. Nuzzling his nose on her neck, he planted a soft kiss on her smooth skin.. Ying Lili closed her eyes to feel the ecstasy of the moment.
He peppered the kisses up to her jawline and approached her lips. "So, what were you going to tell me?" Sheng Li asked as he grazed his thumb over Ying Lili's cheek, who pried open her eyes.
"Tell me else I will start my work," Sheng Li whispered.
"The Royal Astrologer will come tomorrow to the Imperial Palace. Court Lady Xu told me that… that I shall prepare myself for…" She paused as she was a little nervous to tell Sheng Li.
"He might again give us a date to consummate once again. What else? Why are you blushing for this?" Ying Lili touched her cheeks and shook her head.
"I am not blushing," she replied. "I need to bear the future heir," Ying Lili put her hands down. "Court Lady Xu also told me that I shall bear a boy. Isn't this odd? How would I know if it will be a girl or a boy? What do you think will happen?" Ying Lili knitted her brows.
Sheng Li kissed her lips that astonished her. "She might have told you because it's to keep the dynasty alive. There are some kinds of beliefs among the old people and they think if we follow them then a boy will be born. Nothing will happen. I am happy with either of the children. Though I am personally praying for–" he paused when Ying Lili told him to complete his words.
Sheng Li leaned closer to Ying Lili's ear and whispered, "Twins– a boy and a girl. Let's see if the Jade Emperor listens to my prayer or not. I have even chosen the names for our kids." He leaned back and gazed into Ying Lili's eyes, who was smiling.
"What kind of names? You did not even discuss with me," Ying Lili muttered.
"I will tell you later. Let's start where we left," Sheng Li replied. He took the bowl from Ying Lili and placed it on the table. Sheng Li pulled down the curtain around the bedpost.
"Is today's work completed? You have been busy lately," Ying Lili asserted.
Sheng Li grasped her left hand gently and moved his fingers over hers. "If the work was not completed, then I wouldn't be here." He then kissed the tips of her fingers. With his other hand, he pushed the overcoat off her shoulder.
Ying Lili's heart thumped wildly against her chest. She moved closer to Sheng Li and kissed his lips.?After comfortably sitting on his lap, she cupped his face. She gently grazed her fingers against his cheeks. Sheng Li lifted his head to peer at her. He stroked her hair back and the two closed the remaining distance between them.
As Ying Lili's lips met Sheng Li, his world melted away. Her fragrance and the taste of berries were intoxicating him. His hand on Ying Lili's waist moved up and came to the front while his other hand tilted her head to an angle that he could kiss her perfectly. He bit her lower lip, yearning a delightful moan from her after playing with her tongue. He again captured her lips, not wanting to stop kissing her until the two needed oxygen. Parting away, they gasped for air.
Sheng Li did not stop here instead he started to kiss her jawline. His palm rested on her other cheek, and he moved down to her exposed neck and half exposed collarbone.
Pulling away, he peered at Ying Lili, who removed the overcoat. Sheng Li opened the first knot of her dress. He yanked off the dress from the shoulder and placed a feathery kiss on her shoulder. He trailed the kisses up while Ying Lili shut her eyes. He nipped her collarbone, and she moaned for the second time.
"Sheng Li," she called out his name, which enticed him.
Her mind drove crazier when Sheng Li's hot breath hit her cold skin on the neck. He nuzzled against her neck and gave open-mouthed kisses to her. Pleasure arose in the pit of Ying Lili's stomach. His slow wet kisses made her lose her sensations.
He sucked her neck's skin gently and blew the cold air over it before biting her. "Oh!" She moaned again her breathing had become erratic.
"You want me to stop?" Sheng Li asked her. Ying Lili shook her head. He pushed the overcoat off his shoulder when Eunuch Xing-Fu came on the second door.
"Apologies for intruding on the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, but an urgent matter has come up." His head was lowered while informing the Crown Prince.
Sheng Li sighed and told him to speak about the matter. "Your highness, Huo Jin has brought an important piece of information for you. Shall I tell him to wait for some time?" Eunuch Xing-Fu asked.
"I am coming," Sheng Li replied after thinking for a few seconds. Eunuch Xing-Fu bowed and walked out of the chamber. Ying Lili smiled looking at Sheng Li's face who was not in a mood to leave.
"Go," Ying Lili said while smiling.
"Why does every time someone disturb us?" Sheng Li complained as he tied the knot on Ying Lili's dress. He picked the overcoat and made her wear it. "Don't be sullen. We can continue later," Ying Lili muttered as she set Sheng Li's hair.
Sheng Li smirked upon hearing her statement. "Today I am not allowed to come here. Don't you know?" The smile on Ying Lili's lips disappeared
"Why?" She queried.
"Forgive me for not informing you earlier. Xing-Fu talked about Yin and Yang energy earlier with me. He said that if I come today, then it can be harmful to you later," Sheng Li answered.
"And you believed it?" Ying Lili raised her brow.
"For you, I believe in superstitions." He tucked the hair strands behind her ear.
"I understand," Ying Lili replied and moved up the overcoat of Sheng Li over his shoulders. "Then we cannot even eat at night together? You did not even come for breakfast," Ying Lili had turned sad after hearing all that.
"I had an urgent matter to solve in the morning. Forgive me," Sheng Li kissed softly at the top of her head. "We will have our lunch together," stated Sheng Li.
"Fine. Go now," Ying Lili said and passed him a tiny smile. Sheng Li hummed and stood up from the bed. He put away the curtains and walked out of the chamber.
