Chapter 127 Did you miss me?
Chapter 127 Did you miss me?
Xu Yi walked dejectedly into Prince Hao’s Residence and went to the accounting office to ask for a pen
and paper.
The head of the accounting office was his cousin. Hearing that he needed a thousand pieces of paper,
he was stunned. “That’s too many. Why don’t you ask Tang Yang for the key to the storeroom and fetch
them by yourself.”
Then Xu Yi went to Tang Yang.
Tang Yang had just checked the account. He was very curious why Xu Yi wanted 1,000 pieces of
paper. “Why do you need so much paper?” he asked.
“Tang, you must help me this time.” Xu Yi looked sad.
“What’s the matter?” Tang Yang asked curiously. He had never seen Xu Yi with a sad face.
“I was punished by His Grace for copying book of manners a thousand times. You know I only know a
few simple words. What do I do about the difficult words about manners?”
Tang Yang raised his eyebrow. “That’s weird. Of course, you don’t know difficult words about manners.
Anyway, you don’t know what manners are.”
Xu Yi stamped his foot and got furious. “How dare you make fun of me! Poor me. If you don't help me,
there’s no way I’ll help you one day.”
“Have you ever helped me?” Tang Yang smiled.
“There will come a time when you need my help.” Xu gritted his teeth.
Tang Yang smiled and went out with him with the key. “Let’s go to the storeroom and get the paper. But
you must tell me why His Grace is punishing you.”
“When we arrived at the palace, I opened the curtain and asked His Grace and Her Grace to get out of
the carriage. But I didn’t know that it was so hot inside that both the prince and princess were sweating
heavily and Her Grace’s collar was even untied. His Grace scolded at me just because I caught a
glimpse of Her Grace.”
“Really?” Tang Yang paused in a daze.
Xu Yi thought Tang Yang didn’t believe him so he stressed, “Of course it’s true. I didn’t see anything at
all. Nevertheless, His Grace got angry with me. His Grace is getting weirder and weirder. You don’t
even know that he smiled while the case, as Government Office Director said, is extremely tragic. All
family members were nearly killed out. However, His Grace smiled. Don’t you think he went too far?”
“Really?” Tang Yang mused.
“Definitely. Not only Her Grace but also His Grace has changed.” Xu Yi sighed. “But her Grace has
become better while his Grace has become worse.”
“And you have become stupid.” Tang Yang poked him on the forehead.
“That’s not true. I’m stupid all the time.”
“Well, you know what you are!” Tang Yang smiled brightly. “Let’s go get book of manners.”
Tang Yang was in a good mood while Xu Yi was muddleheaded. In fact, he was not stupid. He knew
well what was going on in the carriage.
This was maybe a good thing. The princess with a good temper was good enough to be the hostess of
Prince Hao’s Residence, not to mention that she was valued by the emperor and the emperor’s father.
Yu Wenhao and Yuan Qingling also entered the residence. Yuan Qingling had had dinner at Yu
Wenhuai’s Residence while Yu Wenhao had not yet eaten.
After Yu Wenhao sent Yuan Qingling back to Phoenix Mansion, a servant was going to lead him to
Wuthering Heights for dinner.
“Have you eaten yet?” Yu Wenhao glanced at Yuan Qingling.
“Yes.”
“Want to eat a little bit now?” Yu Wenhao asked.
Yuan Qingling didn’t want to eat any more but hearing that Yu Wenhao was going to eat at Wuthering
Heights, she was kind of curious since she had never been there. Besides, Nurse Qi said that he had
no personal maid, which was incredible because people here loved personal maids.
“OK. I am not full yet.” Yuan Qingling smiled.
Yu Wenhao gave her his hand. Looking at Nurse Qi and Lu Ya, Yuan Qingling smiled and whispered,
“Let’s not hold hands in public, shall we?”
He indeed changed a lot today. He kept close to her without fear of being seen.
Yu Wenhao held her hand without hesitation. “Why not? Why can’t we hold hands in public?”
Yuan Qingling blushed and followed him quietly.
Nurse Qi and Lu Ya were so stunned that their eyes were wide open. What’s going on? Why were the
prince and princess so affectionate?
They went to Wuthering Heights where there were three or four maids dressed in cyan.
They should be between 15 or 16 to 18 years old with pretty faces and charming and elegant behavior.
Anyone who saw them could tell that they were servant girls of rich people.
They treated Yuan Qingling with great respect and served him with great care.
Yuan Qingling made a point of observing their attitude toward Yu Wenhao. They showed no intimacy
but a servant girl’s reverence for her master.
She breathed a secret sigh of relief.
She had no way to share a man with another woman whether she was a personal maid or a concubine.
If she had to, she’d rather not love that man.
She stared at the maids once she entered the dining hall with her eyes alternating between worry and
relief and then sighed quietly. Seeing what she did, Yu Wenhao could not help laughing. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“What are you laughing at?” Yuan Qingling turned to look at him confusedly.
Yu Wenhao looked at her. She had a fair and pretty face with a little pink scar on her forehead, bright
eyes with slightly curvy eyelashes, and slightly swollen and bloodshot red lips. She smiled casually like
a rose in full bloom.
His heart was thumping.
He had the urge to throw her on the bed and have sex with her.
Yuan Qingling avoided his lustful gaze as she ate, wondering why he was being nice to her.
After a while, she lowered her chopsticks, raised her head quickly and looked at him warily. “Tell me the
truth. Is it because of the controling-husband scepter? You think I won’t beat you with my controling-
husband scepter if I’m in love with you?”
Yu Wenhao was dumbfounding all of a sudden with soup in his mouth lingering.
After swallowing the soup, he stared at her and made his mind to have a talk with her.
He sent the maids out and ordered them to shut the door.
Yuan Qingling was still wary, staring at him with her eyes wide open.
Yu Wenhao looked at her and asked slowly, “How did you feel when I kissed you?”
Yuan Qingling reached for her chest. “My heart was beating fast.”
“What else?”
Yuan Qingling thought for a moment. “I don’t know. I’m not sure what it was.”
Yu Wenhao nodded. “I didn’t know why I did that but at that moment, all that I wanted to do was kiss
you and hold you. When I was back to the government office, I’ve been thinking what happened in the
garden all day. I’ve been going crazy. It drove me nuts.”
His voice got deep and hoarse with his eyes darkening as he said the last sentence.
Yuan Qingling’s mind went blank.
Did he mean he loved her?
She was so nervous that she didn’t know how to respond with her hands rubbing each other nervously.
“So, did you miss me at Yu Wenhuai’s Residence today?” He asked softly, never knowing that he could
speak so softly.
Yuan Qingling was honest. “I was busy there today...” she replied.
She looked at him. There seemed to be disappointment in his eyes.
She licked her lips and decided to lie. “But I missed you, too when I sit down at my leisure.”
“Really?” Yu Wenhao’s eyes were getting bright slowly.
“Exactly!” Yuan Qingling assured him.
He sat closer and looked into her eyes. “And what were you thinking of? What happened in the
garden? My kiss?” he asked with a charming voice.
They sat close face to face. His lips almost pressed against her ear and his breath was so warm that
her heart shivered.
