Chapter 73 - 73. Travelling II

Third person POV

Night*

Hong er sat on her bed while staring at her thumb ring that Weisheng gifted her 7 years ago. She never took it off except when she was bathing, she would immediately put it on after she finished her bath. She stroked her thumb ring whenever she felt uneasy and now it became a habit to stroke her thumb ring whenever she was thinking hard.

Hong er: ' Why did my heart beat so fast when Sheng ge's with me? I had known him for a long time but why does it only happen now? Is it some kind of sickness? Qi deficiency? But I was fine yesterday, hhmm…. I want to ask Ruo er but she won't be here for 1 month, hhmm….'

Hong er sighed and plopped down on her bed, she stared at the ceiling suddenly, Weisheng's face passed by her mind.

Hong er: ' Eh? Why did his face suddenly passed like that? That's weird….'

Hong er thought for a while and didn't find any clue by how can Weisheng face passed her mind like that, she gave up and went to sleep.

Morning*

Hong er was talking with Xiao Bai when suddenly someone hugged her from behind, she grew alert as she grabbed the arm that hugged her and threw his whole body to the ground. She locked his arm with her leg and when she was going to crush his arm, the man used his other arm to grab Hong er's collar and lifted her up.

Hong er used this chance to kick his head but her kick was blocked by him. In an instant, she spun her whole body in full speed to kick his head with her other leg. He managed to block her kick from his head but he couldn't block the kick's power. The man took a few steps back before he looked at Hong er and smiled at her. Hong er smiled back at him but she still maintained her fighting stance.

Hong er: " Sheng ge, wanna go for a round?"

Weisheng: " En."

Hong er took a step forward and disappeared, Weisheng elbowed to his right side, Hong er used her palm and a little bit of power to push his arm up. She used her palm to hit his ribs but was blocked by Weisheng's other hand. She rotated her palm and managed to slip from Weisheng's fist. Then she was blocked again with his other hand, and this continued for an hour.

After half an hour passed by, they were slightly panting with little sweatdrops on their forehead. Hong er was smiling widely at him and walked towards him, Weisheng's lips slightly lifted.

Hong er: " As expected, Sheng ge is very strong."

Weisheng: " You are strong too."

Hong er: " How can I be called strong when Sheng ge didn't go all out? On top of that I still couldn't beat you."

Weisheng: " Hong er is strong in her own way."

Hong er: " Hahaha, no need to compliment me. But I hope Sheng ge will fight me seriously."

Weiseng: ' How can I bear to hit my beloved wife."

Hong er signaled him to bend down as she took out an embroidered handkerchief. Weisheng bent down and Hong er gently wiped his sweat off.

Weisheng: ' Just be my wife already.'

Hong er: " Okay." (A/N: what she meant was she was done wiping off his sweat.)

Weisheng: " Huh?"

Hong er: " What's wrong?"

Weisheng: " N-no."

Weisheng: ' I thought that she heard what I said, but let's just think it as she agrees to be my wife.'

Weisheng straighten his body as Hong er wiped off her sweat with the same handkerchief. Weisheng noticed how she used the handkerchief that had his sweat without any hesitation made him feel warm inside his heart.

Hong er mounted Xiao Bai and went to Xu residence's main gate together with Weisheng and their bodyguards. She saw Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing standing at the gate waiting for them. Hong er immediately dismounted Xiao Bai and ran to their side.

Hong er: " Father, mother, what are you doing here?"

Bai Huiqing: " Of course to see you off."

Hong er: " Hahaha, we will only go for 2 weeks."

Bai Huiqing: " So we can't look at our daughter?"

Hong er: " Hahaha, of course you can look at me."

Xu Tingfeng: " Go have fun but you need to be cautious, okay?"

Hong er: " Okay, father."

Weisheng: " Hong er."

Bai Huiqing: " Now now, he is waiting for you, go and have fun."

Hong er: " Uhm, then father, mother, I will leave first."

Hong er waved her hand towards Bai Huiqing and Xu Tingfeng and mounted Xiao Bai. Weisheng turned around but before he could take a step forward, Xu Tingfeng called him in low voice.

Xu Tingfeng: " Kiddo, please take care of her."

Weisheng nodded his head without looking back then he continued to walk towards Xiao Hei and mounted Xiao Hei. Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing watching their figure slowly disappeared from their sight. Bai Huiqing leaned on Xu Tingfeng and worriedly spoke.

Bai Huiqing: " I hope Hong er won't be too sad after realizing her feelings."

Xu Tingfeng: " En."
