Chapter 84 - 84. Hong er's Insecurities II

Third person POV

10 minutes later, they arrived at the gate of the house, Hong er thought that Weisheng would put her down after they arrived but Weisheng kept walking with Hong er in his arms.

Hong er: " Sheng ge, you can put me down now."

Weisheng: " No."

Weisheng looked at her and frowned, Hong er was speechless. She tried to find other excuse to make Weisheng put her down because her heart couldn't handle Weisheng's dominance and manliness. An idea popped out from her genius brain, she put on her smiley face and tugged Weisheng's clothes. Weisheng looked down at her.

Hong er: " Sheng ge, I need to take a bath so could you please put me down?"

Weisheng: " You always take a bath before breakfast so no."

Hong er: " But I'm kinda dirty and sweaty."

Weisheng: " I'm the who carry you so how can you get sweaty and you are not dirty."

Hong er: " Then Sheng ge need to take a bath."

Weisheng: " Things like that won't make me sweat."

Hong er: " B-but.."

Weisheng: " But what?"

Hong er: " Th-this…"

Weisheng: " You don't like it when I carry you?"

Hong er: " N-no, it's not that."

Weisheng: " Do you think I am not strong enough to carry you?"

Hong er: " N-no…"

Then Hong er glanced at his thick arms and his sturdy chest, her cheeks reddened. On the way back home, Hong er had been observing Weisheng's body. He had broad shoulders, sharp jawline, slightly tan skin, large veiny hands, and he was the tallest man she had ever met. All of these characteristic had drove Hong er crazy, Weisheng wasn't similar to her ideal man but Weisheng was her ideal man.

Hong er: " …too perfect."

Weisheng didn't understand what she was saying but still, he was very happy with her reaction. Then he teasingly asked Hong er.

Weisheng: " So, why are so persistent?"

Hong er: " I-I really don't know, my heart is bubbling up so much that it makes me can't think straight."

Hong er said while fiddling on her finger, Weisheng's iceberg heart melted like a chocolate. Weisheng looked away and shyly replied.

Weisheng: " Me too."

Hong er widened her eyes in surprise, she moved her face closer to Weisheng's face and excitedly asked.

Hong er: " Sheng ge too?! Do you know what it is? It has been bugging me for a while. It happened whenever I am near Sheng ge so it became really tough to talk to Sheng ge."

Weisheng was so happy that he could die, he put Hong er down and ran into his room leaving the confused Hong er behind. He entered his room and closed the door behind him, he leaned on the door and slide down to the floor. He slapped his face and he could feel the pain on his cheek, the corner of his lips slowly rise up.

Weisheng: " heheheHEHEHEHE AHAHAHAHAHA."

From giggling to laughing, he had forgot about his cold hearted image. Qiyi and Qier that stood in front of the door were tearing up.

Qiyi & Qier: ' Your Majesty, congratulation.'

Meanwhile, Hong er dazedly standing at the gate while looking at the direction where Weisheng run off to. Qi zongguan and the other servants slowly approach Hong er, they bowed to her and greet her.

Qi zongguan: " Young Miss, why don't we enter the house?"

Hong er: " En. Oh, Qi zongguan, could you please tell the chef to cut my lunch portion to half?"

Qi zongguan: " Yes, Young Miss. But if you don't mind me ask you a question."

Hong er: " What is it?"

Qi zongguan: " Why would you cut your lunch portion?"

Hong er: " Ahh~ I haven't practiced for so many days so I want to stay in shape by watching what I eat."

Qi zongguan: " Well then, Young Miss, this is only an advice from this lowly servant for you. Please eat healthily and don't force yourself."

Hong er: " En, I will take your advice."

Qi zongguan: " I am honored that I can help Young Miss."

Hong er: " Qi zongguan, please don't be so polite to me. You are an elder to me, it should be me thanking you for giving me an advice."

Qi zongguan: " As a servant it is my duty to serve my master and master's guest with the best courtesy."

Hong er: " Well if you insist. Then I will go back to my room."

Qi zongguan: " I will pass your order to the chef, Young Miss."

Hong er: " Thank you."

Hong er smiled at him and went to her own room. Qi zongguan watched her figure slowly disappear with a grin on his face.

Qi zongguan: ' Not bad…'

Hong er sat on a chair beside a window and sighed, she was really dejected and down right now. Weisheng's face after he listened to her talk was too shocking, he scrunched his eyebrow and covered his mouth his hand as he ran away from Hong er. Hong er's heart was crushed into pieces when she saw his expression.

Hong er: ' Sheng ge must be disgusted by me. Of course he would, I'm not like the virtuous and gentle girl that everyone loves. By comparing Li Qianzi's talents and skills to me, everyone could see that I'm just a failure to be a woman. She is pretty, gentle, virtuous, good at embroidery and girly stuff. Her skin and hands are so soft and smooth while my hands are rough and full of calluses. I'm only good at fighting and killing, who wants a woman like me?'

While she was lowering herself, the sky got darker and darker, the trees and flowers around the house were closed and facing down. Everyone in the house were looking at the sky weirdly.

Everyone: ' Even though it was sunny before…'
