LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS

As they reached there, they were greeted with surprised looks of the children playing around and even the women stood being their doors and peeped at the guests who were brought here.

Xing who was waking with her eyes wide staring at everything around tripped on a stone lying in the road and Chenglei walking by her side, held her hand,

"Careful!", he urged her and she nodded.

For a moment he was scared but then he found himself smiling seeing her hand in his hand and he didn"t let go as she seemed to not mind.

Well, there is good in everything it seems!

Xing was happy they were walking like they used to - hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder with her not worrying if she"d lose her way.

"It"s already evening... We"ve prepared a house for you and there is warm water and everything needed for you and your husband. So get changed and come to my house for dinner where we can discuss further... And Xiao Táng, don"t forget to wear that brooch", Lady Hehua pointed at the brooch.

Me and my husband? That does have a nice ring to it! Ah, if only!

"But Lady Hehua...", Xing pointed at Chenglei and was about to correct her that he is not her husband in case he misunderstands her but before she could finish, Chenglei interjected, wrapping his arms around her shoulder,

"Thank you", he even gave a polite bow, "Me and my wife will take our leave now", he forced Xing to turn towards the house arranged for them.

"And Xiao Táng! Address me as Commander Xia from now on! Go... Go... Help wash your husband. He looks impatient.. Take your time, I"ll wait! ", she had a playful smirk in her face making Xing blush.

She looked at Chenglei who was having his usual haughty expression on with no sign of embarra.s.sment.

What a shameless liar! Make me your wife before announcing me as your wife, you rascal Prince!

Xing mumbled in her mouth and as they were about to enter the house, they heard Takanas.h.i.+ calling her,

"Miss Táng... It is you, right? Wait.... I need to say something to you!", he ran towards them.

Chenglei could sense her tensing up as his arms were around her, "You can get in if you want", he spoke gently rubbing her arm. He knew she hated him for trying to hurt her father and it would be perfectly understandable if she wants not to look at his face.

"Mmm", she said and looked at the one running towards her with a smile that looked disgusting in her eyes.

"Wow!", he patted his chest to calm his panting, "You walk fast...I"ve been trying to catch upto you!",he grinned at Xing and she gritted her teeth, "So you are Miss Táng JiaXing... I"ve heard a LOT about you", he smirked with his eyes trailing from her head to toe like she was a delicacy.

Xing just looked to the side not answering him. The ants crawling on the wall seemed more interesting than his face.

Xing could feel Takanas.h.i.+ staring at her and she could feel Chenglei by her side tensing up and she didn"t need anyone to say how that fox is looking at her.

"You are prettier than before... Dark hair suits you!", he chuckled that resembled a clucking chicken making Xing snort in disgust.

So you remember? சு Weiye told your sister who told you, huh? And... What a pervert! How stupidly brave you are... Then again you tried to kiss me in front of everyone in my home... How bright you might actually be?

Chenglei"s eyes darkened seeing Takanas.h.i.+ leering at his woman like that and he looked at Xing who still wasn"t looking at Takanas.h.i.+.

He knows her from before? Could he be the one in her heart? Is that why she is hurt?

Chenglei"s heart beat raced by that thought but oddly her disgust towards him comforted him.

"Why aren"t you answering me? MINGXIA?", he sneered seeing her turning to leave.

"She is mute!", Chenglei"s cold voice was heard behind her, making her pause her steps.

I"m mute? Seriously Chenglei? That"s all you could come up with? That can"t be allowed.

"But..."

"Lord Li", Xing"s coy voice interjected Takanas.h.i.+ and his eyes widened by the scene in front of him.

Chenglei looked at Xing walking towards him with her hips swaying and eyes fluttering with her rosy lips glistening as she licked it seductively.

This woman... She is going to be the end of me!

Xing didn"t stop there but she walked near Chenglei placed her left hand on his right shoulder and gently traced it down his firm chest and well defined abs now covered by his robes and as her hands travelled down it got caught in his belt and she trailed her hand along his belt.

Takanas.h.i.+ watched everything happening in front of him with his eyes wide with surprise and heart filled with malice while Chenglei looked at the woman by his side acting kittenish towards him and his heart raced.

This woman! How can she be this brazen! I love it!

Just then he sensed her hands getting to his buckle and he gasped a little unconsciously and his hands held her hands and he almost forgot the other man in front of him for a moment.

"Wha...", Takanas.h.i.+ gasped and only then Chenglei got to his senses.

Is she trying to use me to rile that Takanas.h.i.+ up?

"Not here!", he whispered in her ears and she chuckled with a whimper in her voice making it ten times more seductive.

What are you doing, woman?

"Then I"ll wait for you in the bath", she hissed and then grazed her hand over his chest once more and with a coy smile turned and got inside the house with her hips swaying.

"Wow!", Takanas.h.i.+"s howl brought Chenglei back and he looked at Takanas.h.i.+ as he said, "You said she was mute",accusingly.

"It"s selective mutism. She only talks to humans", Chenglei"s emerald eyes had a dangerous glint in them when his lips curved with a haughty smirk.

"Leave now... My wife is waiting for me", he turned to leave.

"I feel bad for you to be seduced by a leftover woman thrown out by your brother... And the way she acts, who knows how many..."

*Whoosh*

Chenglei threw a small dagger he had hidden in his sleeves at Takanas.h.i.+ and he dodged it by a hair"s breadth.

"Whoa! What did you..."

*Whoosh *

Another dagger pa.s.sed through him and this time it slightly grazed his ear making a cut that made it bleed.

"Huh! For that woman! You are pathetic, Rui w.a.n.g!", he waved his hand at Chenglei who was glaring at him with killing intent and left.

Chenglei leaned on the pillar of the wooden House and stared at the leaving back of Takanas.h.i.+ and his eyes glinted with danger as he was ruminating.

He knows a lot! And talks a lot!

In the end he didn"t know how long he was staring blankly but when he got in the house, Xing already had finished her bath and was drying her hair.

"Help me wash up!", Chenglei said as he walked past her and Xing realised he was not in a good mood and just obliged to his wishes and helped cleaning his hair.

"On my brother"s wedding day, that dirty fox tried to kiss me in front of my entire family and the Emperor", Xing who heard Takans.h.i.+"s words from before, tried to explain to Chenglei the actual relations.h.i.+p between her and Takanas.h.i.+ as she didn"t want him to misunderstand.

"My brother threw him out of our Manor and he was allowed to live on the condition that he"d never step foot inside our kingdom. But now... It seems everything has changed ",she continued as she was drying his hair.

"Mmm, is that so? He"s getting bold now, is he? ", Chenglei got the towel from her hands and when Xing looked at him, his mood seemed better.

Good! At least you believe me when I explain it to you!

Xing was happy.

Chenglei on the other hand have already decided to trap Takanas.h.i.+ and kill him.
