Sheng Li gripped Ying Lili's finger. "I am not jealous." He pulled her closer and continued, "You do not even know what jealousy means to me. He would not have been standing alive in front of you till now. He is playing with fire and if he keeps annoying me like today, I won't even hesitate in leaving him in the middle of this journey."

"How could you think of something like this for someone who has saved your life? You are forgetting humanity towards that person," Ying Lili stated.

"Humanity does not exist for me," Sheng Li stated and left Ying Lili's finger. "Let the paste dry over those blisters," Sheng Li said and stood up from the bed. He went to the bathroom and washed his hands there. After he was done, he came back to the bed. The candles were blown away by him except for letting out one candlelight.

Ying Lili felt bad that Sheng Li was not having his dinner. 'Can't she even talk with Hu Jingguo? Why was Sheng Li pulling up a face for that?' she wondered. She saw Sheng Li had opened the knot on his robe and taken it off.

"I am feeling hot," Sheng Li said, looking at Ying Lili and telling her to move aside. Ying Lili moved back and pulled the blanket up. Sheng Li got into the bed and laid down; his back was facing Ying Lili who was still sitting on the bed.

Ying Lili realized that Sheng Li was angry with her, too. "Why is he so stubborn? Why is he lying when he has feelings for me?" Ying Lili wondered and thought of something.

"Sheng Li," Ying Lili softly called his name.

"Hmm?"

"Turn towards me," Ying Lili requested. Sheng Li did so and asked her why she was not lying on the bed.

"You told me to let this dry," Ying Lili answered. "Forgive me for ruining your mood," she apologized and leaned towards him. Sheng Li knitted his brows as he saw Ying Lili's face closer to him.

"Do it," Ying Lili told herself and kissed on Sheng Li's lips and leaned back. It was more like a peck to shoo away the anger which was on Sheng Li's nose tip, according to Ying Lili. "Have a good sleep," Ying Lili told Sheng Li and averted her gaze from him. Sheng Li kept blinking for a few seconds.

Ying Lili touched her lips and smiled when she heard Sheng Li. "This will not suffice my anger. If you think my heart fluttered at such an act, then you are wrong." Ying Lili turned her head to look at him and saw he had already turned his back towards her.

Ying Lili scoffed and laid down on the bed, turning her back towards Sheng Li. She pulled the entire blanket towards her.

Sheng Li tilted his head slightly and asked her what she was doing. "You were feeling hot so, you should not take the blanket," Ying Lili said as she wrapped the blanket around her.

"Are you fighting with me?"

"No."

Sheng Li grabbed the edge of a blanket and snatched it from her. But Ying Lili did not want him to have the blanket therefore, pulled it back towards her.

"What comes into you in the middle of the night?" Sheng Li chuckled.

"Nothing. You said you are feeling hot. Then sleep without a blanket," Ying Lili said loudly. 'You rejected my feelings so you must get punished' Ying Lili thought. She was furious when Sheng Li plainly told her that he would not feel anything with her kiss. This was the first time she kissed him on the lips, willingly and he answered her like that?!

Sheng Li, using his entire strength pulled the blanket towards him and Ying Lili too who did not get enough time to react. Sheng Li quickly hovered over her and pinned her both hands on the mattress. "What were you doing? Explain," Sheng Li asked Ying Lili.

"I did what was right for you," Ying Lili answered.

Sheng Li snickered. "You did not like that I did not kiss you back. Tell me your heart has fallen for me, that's why you kissed me. You used to resist so much but today you showed a completely different side of yours," Sheng Li whispered.

"Is it a crime to kiss your husband?" Ying Lili questioned him instead of confessing.

"In your case, it is indeed a crime. You would not have kissed me if there was nothing in your heart," Sheng Li affirmed and smirked. "You want me to kiss you? Then this anger will go away, right?" Sheng Li queried with a raised brow.

"Who is angry? Get away from me," Ying Lili said and kicked him so that he fell out of the bed. Ying Lili put a palm on her lips as she saw Sheng Li on the floor and she ended up laughing.

"Ahhh," Sheng Li groaned as his bareback hit against the floor. "You kicked me?!" Sheng Li shouted at her.

"You deserve this," Ying Lili said and leaped to the other side of the bed. She quickly wrapped the blanket around her before Sheng Li could snatch it again and closed her eyes.

Sheng Li got up from the floor. His hand was on his back. "You think I would let you sleep peacefully," Sheng Li muttered.

Wang Hao, Xiao Zhan, and Hu Jingguo were hearing the noises from the room next to them where the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were staying.

"General Wang, what do you think those two are doing?" Xiao Zhan queried when he heard the scream of the Crown Princess.

"I do not know," Wang Hao replied.

"Aren't they shouting too much? Has any kind of war started there?" Wang Hao murmured and moved his fingers under his chin.

"General Wang, General Xiao, I think they are making love with each other," Hu Jingguo said and giggled. Xiao Zhan and Wang Hao ended up laughing upon hearing Hu Jingguo's words.

Wang Hao controlled his laughs and said, "Hu Jingguo, the kind of conversation you were having with the Crown Princess did not make the Crown Prince jealous but angry. I think they both are fighting regarding that only." Xiao Zhan agreed with Wang Hao.

"We shall sleep. They both are quiet now," Xiao Zhan advised and pulled the blanket up.

Hu Jingguo blew off the candles, keeping only one candle on, and went to his bed when they heard a loud thud. "I think something happened," Hu Jingguo murmured. Wang Hao immediately got off the bed when Hu Jingguo stopped him.

"Let's not disturb them," Hu Jingguo stated. "Let them fight because only then love will grow between them," pronounced Hu Jingguo, and smiled. Wang Hao nodded, and the three went to their respective beds.

Sheng Li was lying on the floor while Ying Lili was on top of him. "Ahh," Sheng Li cried out in pain and pushed Ying Lili away. "You are a violent woman," Sheng Li remarked and sat up on the floor. "I did not kiss you and you got violent on me," Sheng Li commented and caressed his shoulder.

"I learned about violence from you. And who wants your kiss? Don't deduce things that have no meaning," Ying Lili yanked at him.

"Don't even open your mouth. I swear I will throw you out of this room," Sheng Li warned Ying Lili.
