Chapter 86 - 86. Liar

Third person POV

Hong er concealed her emotion and went to main hall to eat lunch. She entered the main hall and saw Weisheng sat there staring at her with no expression on his face. Hong er's heart throbbed when she saw his face, her face got slightly pale and her hands were trembling. She gripped her right hand with her left behind her hip, blood trickled out as her nails dug into her flesh.

She smiled brightly as she walked toward the dining table and sat further away from Weisheng, Weisheng furrowed his eyebrow and clenched his fist. Qi zongguan looked at Hong er weirdly and ordered the servants to serve the food. Hong er stretched out her hand to take a slice of meat and was going to put on Weisheng's rice but her hand halted in the mid air then she brought the meat to her bowl.

Weisheng didn't touch his food at all and just stared at Hong er's rice, the second time Hong er stretched her and to take another dish, Weisheng grasped her wrist while staring deeply at her eyes. Hong er flinched but managed to calm herself down before she smiled at Weisheng.

Hong er: " Sheng ge, what's wrong?"

Weisheng didn't reply to her as his face became more and more frightening. Hong er's heart was thumping, her palm started to get wet with cold sweat. She didn't want Weisheng to notice her wet palm so she tried to retract her hand but Weisheng's grasp getting tighter. Hong er smiled at him and politely asked.

Hong er: " Sheng ge, could you please release my hand?"

Weisheng gritted his teeth as he pulled Hong er into his embrace. Hong er widened her eyes in surprise, the servants got the signal and quietly retreated from the hall they closed the door to give the couple some privacy. After a few second of silence, Hong er finally snapped out of her mind then she tried to pushes Weisheng away but he was too strong. He hugged her tighter in his arms and buried his face on her neck crook. His voice was desperate and frustrated.

Weisheng: " Hong er, why do you behave so strangely?"

Hong er: " Wh-what do you mean?"

Weisheng: " Why do sit so far from me?"

Hong er widened her eyes and nervously replied.

Hong er: " No-nothing."

Weisheng: " You are lying."

Hong er: " N-no I'm not."

Weisheng: " And you even gave me a fake smile."

Hong er: " No, I didn't. And could you please let me go first? "

Weisheng: " No, I won't until you tell what happened."

Hong er: " But nothing is wrong."

Weisheng: " Then I won't let you go."

Hong er didn't reply to him for a while before she helplessly sighed. She closed her eyes as she was afraid of seeing Weisheng's reaction after he listened her reason.

Hong er: " Sh-sheng ge must have hate me right now so could you please let me go."

Weisheng scrunched his eyebrow as he sternly said.

Weisheng: " Who said I hate you?"

Hong er: " Sheng ge, your expression clearly said that you were disgusted by me and you ran away from me too."

Weisheng: " When?"

Hong er: " This morning."

Weisheng thought for a while before he chuckled at how cute Hong er was. He snuggled up to Hong er as he was so happy that Hong er was upset that he ran away from her.

Weisheng: ' It means that she wants my attention.'

Weisheng sat back up so he could look at Hong er's face, her long black eyelashes were trembling as she shut them tightly. Weisheng found her expression funny and it made him want to tease her. He brought his lips in front of Hong er's eye and kissed her closed eye. Hong er immediately opened her eyes and Weisheng's wide grin greeted her, her mouth was agape as her face was slowly getting redder and redder. Weisheng evilly whispered.

Weisheng: " How cute.."

Hong er heard what he whispered, her face immediately reddened up, she quickly used both of her hands to cover her red face. Weisheng laughed at her cute reaction, Hong er flinched and backed away from Weisheng but Weisheng knew that she was going to run away. He grabbed both of her hands with one hand and the other hand pulling her waist towards him. And now Hong er's face was fully exposed to Weisheng, Hong er was too embarrassed to face him so she whipped away her head to avoid looking at his smug face.

Weisheng leaned his face towards Hong er's ear and lightly blew her ears. Hong er's body shivered as she tried to pull her hands away from Weisheng's grip but it was useless, Weisheng has ridiculous strength when he's excited. Then he whispered on Hong er's ear with his husky voice.

Weisheng: " You know, it is illegal to be this cute."

Hong er flinched as she didn't know why she likes his husky voice so much but she didn't want to lose to Weisheng so she braved herself and stuttered.

Hong er: " I-I'm not cute at all."

Weisheng: " Oh~ Yes you are. And you can't deny that."

Hong er: " Why does Sheng ge have to say such an embarrassing stuff."

Weisheng: " Do I? Then I will talk something more embarrassing than that."

Hong er: " No! Please don't! I don't want to hear that!"

Weisheng: " Then if you don't want me to talk about that, tell me why you eat so little."

Hong er: " I-I'm still full from the breakfast."

Weisheng: " Then I will talk about it-"

Hong er: " Fi-fine, I will tell Sheng ge."

Weisheng: " Speak."

Hong er: " I'm on a diet."

Weisheng: " Hm? Why would you be on diet?"

Hong er: " Because Sheng ge had a hard time to lift me up this morning."

Weisheng: " No, I didn't."

Hong er: " Then why did you ran away with scary expression on your face?"

Weisheng ears redden as he looked away to avoid Hong er's stares.

Weisheng: " Because you are too cute at that time, I'm afraid that I will attack you on the spot."

Hong er: ' You will be attacked if you are cute?! So scary.'

Hong er: " But I'm quite strong though."

Weisheng: " No, not that kind of attack. And let's stop this conversation here, let's eat first."

Hong er: " Uhm."

Hong er nodded her head while she nervously stares at Weisheng. Weisheng released her hands and lifted her up then put her on the seat beside him. Hong er tried not to smile but the corner of her lips kept rising. She nervously glanced at Weisheng.

Hong er: " Th-then Sheng ge doesn't hate me?"

Weisheng: " Of course no. Even if I want to hate you, I can't."

Hong er face immediately bright up as she smiled widely at Weisheng. Weisheng's eyes almost blinded by Hong er's smile.

Hong er: " Really?!"

Weisheng patted her head and smiled gently at her.

Weisheng: " En. Servant, more rice."

Weisheng ordered the servants to bring in more rice for Hong er, they had prepared extra rice because they knew that Weisheng won't let Hong er eat lesser than usual. they brought in the rice and put it on the table. Weisheng took the rice from the servant and fed Hong er. Hong er's face slightly blushed as she politely rejected Weisheng.

Hong er: " N-no need to feed me, I can eat it myself."

Weisheng: " No, I want to feed you."

Hong er looked at Weisheng's slightly dejected face, her heart felt guilty as Weisheng's shoulder dropped down. Hong er gently lifted Weisheng's right hand that was holding the chopstick and ate the meat on the chopstick. She chewed the meat and smiled at him. Weisheng's face brighten up as he kept feeding Hong er, in his heart, he laughed evilly.

Weisheng: ' It is a good plan to pretend be sad.'
