LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS

Chenglei looked at the woman in front of him with the rims of her eyes red like she just cried.Oddly he didn"t remember what he saw in the flashes of memory a moment ago. It skipped his mind like the dream you knew you had but won"t remember when you wake up what that dream was about. But, He remembered this woman"s cry was filled with despair just now when she called for him.

He got the cup from her hands and drank the water and he did feel a bit better but still his entire body was hurting and he felt cold.

Xing looked at Chenglei and he still looked as if he is in suffering. Then she remembered he gets fever when he is tired.

So Xing who was keen on showing herself to him as a cultured woman, lost her facade and let him see her worry for him and placed the back of her hand in his forehead to check for his temperature.

Chenglei on the other hand was dumbfounded by her sudden action.

When was the last time someone touched my face, he wondered. The memory of his mother pus.h.i.+ng him away closing his eyes with her hand came to his mind. He never liked anyone touching him and he"d break their hand if they tried to.

So why do I have no reaction when this woman touches me? I even like it!

"You have fever, Lord Li", Xing was fl.u.s.tered seeing him sick. "Let me go find some medicines for you", she turned to leave when she felt a firm grip in her wrist. She turned to see Chenglei gripping her wrist hard.

"Stay with me!", he spoke as a command and if it was anyone else they"d have faced her wrath for holding her wrists but Chenglei is always an exception for her!

"Come on, don"t act like this... Let me get you medicines. Drink it and go to sleep and you"ll be fine", she spoke in a slightly coaxing tone and turned to leave but all she felt was a tug in her wrist.

Not only did he not release her but also he pulled her close to him. Xing not expecting that almost lost her balance and with her other hand gripping on the table she avoided landing on her lap.

Although by the smirk he had on that clean and flushed face of his, she knew he did that deliberately. His thin lips that were too close to hers were inviting and she wanted to steal a kiss from him. It"s been ages since she last kissed and she missed him a lot.

Chenglei was more intoxicated by the sweet smelling woman close to him and seeing her eyelashes fluttering like the wings of a b.u.t.terfly and her cute lips slightly parted, he wanted to carry her to bed.

"I got sick looking for you. Stay with me and look after me, woman!", he smacked his lips and looked right in her eyes.

Even he was surprised by the way he was acting toward this woman and he could see her blus.h.i.+ng too.

"Please!", he spoke in a whining tone and all the defences and plans Xing made on how to act around Chenglei when she meets him... crumbled.

"Fine! I"ll stay", she said in a surrendering tone and only then the grip on her wrist loosened. "Let me ask my maid to prepare you medicines", she said and he let her go.

Xing got out of the tent where Xiao Mei waited for her and told her to bring fever medicines and informed her that she"ll stay here for sometime until he gets better.

Xiao Mei"s jaws opened on surprise and she wondered even if her lady likes that man, isn"t staying for the night the same day as she met him a little going overboard?

But she did what she was asked of and when she asked to stay outside the tent to guard her, her lady sent her away.

"Do you want gossips that your lady stayed the night with Lord Li?", she threatened.

"But isn"t it fine? Shouldn"t the man take responsibility?", Xiao Mei asked but was sent away by her lady and she was all red.

"We are not going to do anything of those sorts!", she said.

Yeah, right! Xiao Mei rolled her eyes. A man and a woman won"t be playing peek-boo staying together alone at night!

Truly! Her Lady is eccentric! Why would she let that man get away after taking advantage of her?

Xing gave the medicines to Chenglei and after he drank it he even insisted, she"d watch him until he goes to sleep.

Xing didn"t know how to take this. Before he"d downplay his sickness and pretended to be strong to keep her from worrying about him but now he overplayed his sickness to make her worry for him.

Ks it because he thought of me as a little girl before since he met me as a girl and now since he met me as a woman he thinks differently?

But Whatever! She gets to see the sleeping face of her man once again.

Xing who was sitting in a stool beside his bed could see him going into deep sleep and she checked his temperature and stood up to leave when he got her wrist once again and Xing had no choice but to sit again by his side.

Xing looked at her man.... It"s been three years and aging only made him more handsome. His Jaws were more well-defined and he had a beautiful tan on him probably by him travelling in the desert in the past days. His hand holding her still had the same comfortable warmth and his body was still so attractive.

Everything belongs only to me!

She laid beside him as he seemed to be deeply asleep and she wanted to smell his scent once more. Lying together.... Something that they used to do casually has now become a privilege for her.

She nuzzled her head in his chest and his scent entered her nose and she even place his hands around her waist as he"d always do before. She thought she won"t sleep but before she knew it, the comfort of his hug, made her sleepy and she went to deep sleep.

Chenglei woke up in the middle of the night to see her sleeping close to him and he felt full... Like he had gained the little missing part in his life that made it complete.

He tried to get back to give her more place to sleep as she seemed to be sleeping uncomfortably but she moved closer to him each time he moved further from her.

How cute!

He traced along her cheeks with the back of his forefinger when a small smile crept in her lips and that was so adorable in his eyes.

As he observed her face in a close view, he could see the birthmark clearly and before he knew it his lips were really close to hers. Her sweet smell was so alluring and he found himself drunk by it and he wanted to devour her and his grip on her waist tightened as he got closer to her lips.

I"m not going to have my first kiss with a woman who is sleeping!

He decided just as his conscience rang a bell in his brain and tried to pull away from her face. That was dangerous!

But before he knew, an arm wrapped around his neck pulling him closer and as he saw the distance between them getting lesser and lesser and then he felt something soft on his lips.

His eyes widened and just before he realised what was going on, her soft lips started to kiss him and then it was her tongue that followed her lips as it licked his lips and he could feel something weird in his abdomen and before he knew it, he was pressing her under him and he pried her mouth open sliding his velvety tongue inside her sweet mouth and both of their tongue tangled together in an erotic way blurring all his senses.

What a nice sensation! Who"d known kissing feels this good!

When he let her go, she was still in a deep sleep and he could see her lips curving up and her hands as if it was used to, gently grabbed his cheeks and her slightly swollen lips said something as he listened,

"You are back, hubby!"

As she said it her hand slid from his cheeks and she turned to her side and continued to sleep.

Xing who was in deep sleep just had a wonderful dream that her Prince returned to her from a long trip and with his eyes gentle and his smile reaching his eyes, he hugged her and kissed her when she welcomed him. She used to have these kind of dreams but tonight she was lucky the dream was so vivid.

Chenglei felt like his heart slipped from his body and fell into a deep abyss.

Hubby... ?

Hubby? Did I hear right? She is married?

All the excitement he had from before drained and he felt confused and somehow he felt cheated.

As if that was not enough, he heard a commotion outside and before he got up to see what was that about a little boy ran inside the tent.

Chenglei who still was a bit dizzy with the fever and everything else, saw that boy run towards him.

Before Chenglei could stand up, that boy who wouldn"t even reach his knee in his opinion who looked like a devil child with his dishevelled hair, darted at him and bit him hard in the thigh, "What did you do to my mummy?", he screeched and that woke up the sleeping woman.

"Baobei!", she said rubbing her eyes and pulled the boy to her embrace, "What are you going here?"

"Mummy! I"m scared... Sleep with me....", the devil boy spoke and now he looked so divine with a cute pout and reddened nose since he was with her.

So he acted devilish only towards me? Chenglei wondered rubbing his thigh where he bit. He must a dog to bite this hard!

"Oh, There.. There.. poor Baobei! I"m sorry", she hugged and patted the boy"s back.

Just what is going on? Chenglei froze.

Mummy..? Who"d call their mother, mummy? And wait... That is not the important issue here....

Not only she is married but also she has a son?

I had my first kiss with a married woman?

Chenglei sat there on the bed when the woman said something to him and then bowed and left and he didn"t get a single word she said.

He sat there frozen for a while and he didn"t know when he slept or when he woke up but when he got up, that woman and her entourage had already left.

I should have dreamt everything!
