LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS

To think she betrayed him... She was surprised he haven"t kill her yet.

Then again, that"s how much he loves me!

Some time after, the noise stopped breaking her deep thoughts and Xing kept her eyes on the kitchen to see if he comes out.

What has he decided? She was impatient to know.

But he didn"t come out even after what seemed to be like an eternity for her.

Could he have been hurt by the broken shards..? Or... Did he...?

Xing who was extremely worried but didn"t want to seem concerned over him for her mission of pus.h.i.+ng him away, crawled on all fours towards the kitchen to have a look at Chenglei. She didn"t want him to get hurt because of her but she didn"t want him to know that she worries for him.

She wanted him to hate her!

She crawled like a toddler on the floor and reached the door of the kitchen and positioned herself so that she won"t be in his line of sight and poked her head inside, using the support of the doorframe with one hand.

Chenglei was sitting on a stool with his hands kneading his temples as if he was in deep contemplation. She even felt a murderous aura around him.

He is thinking of killing me! Xing sighed in relief, realising he is fine.

But as she turned to leave, her hand on the doorframe slipped and she was about to fall face first in the floor. Xing noticed a sharp shard right in front of her and if she falls in her current pace, she would be hurt in her eye by that shard.

-----

When Chenglei was about to jump from the s.h.i.+p to get to Xing, he found himself to be here before he even got into the water. He felt disorientated for a bit and he wondered if this is his real place or somewhere else identical to his place. He went to the bedroom to see everything in red and was shocked.

This might not be my place, he thought. He never owned anything in red because Xing hated red.

He checked the drawer by his bedside just to be sure. He opened it and there it was.. the engagement hairpin he had made for her. The golden hairpin with his signature marking of plum blossoms carved with pink Jade, the one which comes in set with the ring he already gave her. There is also a necklace and bracelet in this set. He designed it himself and spent a lot to be secretly made by the best jewel makers of the Huang business.

Her uncle billed him twice the amount for keeping it a secret! Such a money grubber! But for her, he was willing to spend ten times the worth if it.

A smile crept on his lips as he picked the hairpin and kissed it. He heard some noise on the other room of the house and he kept the hairpin inside his chest pocket and went there to check. The bead curtains hung in the door made a c.h.i.n.king noise as he entered and he saw a platter filled with unfamiliar fruits in the table.

Is this the work of that G.o.d?

Just then he saw her... His woman... Walking straight to the door...

Why is she going for the door? I"ll stop her! It"s a good chance for us to be alone for sometime and chat!

His heart was filled with excitement as he approached her intending to surprise her. He even got out of the room without making a sound, even begging the bead curtain not to make noise.

But when he got near to her and called her name, all he met with was a different Xing from what he had known. She looked at him confused as if he"s a figment of her imagination. He wanted to hug her and a.s.sure her that he is real but then she had to say it!

Chenglei was shocked beyond anything by what Xing said. When she first said that she cheated, he thought she must be playing games although she never joked about such things before but when she repeated, he wanted to make that mouth spouting nonsense to shut up.

How dare she say that looking right into my eyes? Who does she take me for?

He was raging mad and he raised his hand before thinking twice to hit her but her reaction made him unable to move further. Her small pet.i.te face was turned to the side as if she is willing to get hit by him and her closed eyes were quivering out of fear and she was gritting her teeth to get ready for impact.

She looked pitiful!

The hands he raised up to hit her got near her to a.s.sure her that he would never hit her. But.... This woman said she cheated on him.

He walked to the kitchen to stop himself from hugging her.

This dumb woman! Making me want to hug her when she said that she betrayed me! Even when she hurt me I cannot hurt her back! How pathetic of me! I Pampered her too much she thinks she can do anything to me! Wait till you see how I get back at you!

Chenglei after getting away from Xing got enraged again as he rembered her words as cold as ice coming out of her indifferent mouth, the mouth he wanted to chew on,

"I cheated on you!"

In his rage, he threw away he stuff in the kitchen racks.The smas.h.i.+ng sound quelled his anger to some extent. After he ran out of things to break, he sat in the stool thinking of what she said.

What did she do? Who did she do it with? How far did she go?

He wanted to tear her apart thinking about that but when her face came to his mind, his heart softened.

She wouldn"t have done it willingly... She must have been seduced or coerced by some vile man.... That"s right, I should find that man and tear him apart! The nerves on him to come near my woman! He clenched his fists.

The entire house was filled with a mild light with all the windows and the door shut. The mild fragrance from the incense filled the room and the uplifting scent made Chenglei"s heart calm down after a long time.

How could I blame her, Or that man? He thought. Wasn"t it my absence near her that led to this? As long as I was near her, no one got even two feet near her. Just when I Ieave, bees are circling her. She is the exceptional flower in the top of the mountain afterall. Who wouldn"t use this chance to get her?

Just let this pa.s.s, Chenglei! She wouldn"t have fallen for that other man, right? He rubbed his neck....

It"s fine even if that is the case! I"ll kill him, then she"ll have to return to me!

Chenglei who had calmed his heart and returned to his devouring wolf mode was thinking of the ways he could kill this mysterious lover of his wife.

That"s when he noticed from the corner of his eyes, Xing crawling towards the kitchen.

Is she trying to check up on me without letting me know? Stupid girl! She doesn"t realise there is a window here and I could see her crawling?

His lips curved up a bit seeing that silly girl who hadn"t changed a bit from her six year old self and he wondered if she is lying to him. But he could not find any reason that she would lie to him about this.

And her eyes... She started to lie really well or she thinks she cheated on me... Or... She is adamant on making me believe she cheated on me.

But why?

The easy solution is to a.s.sume that she cheated in me as she confessed openly. But why am I not believing her? Or am I trusting her too much?

Now I"m not even sure what I am thinking!

This annoying kitten!

----

Just as Chenglei was in a serious battle with himself, he saw Xing trying to get back and as he expected she slipped and he noticed a big shard right in front of her.

"You dumb cat!", Chenglei ran to her and caught her by her collar and pulled her up and Xing was surprised how Chenglei noticed her and how could he catch her this fast.

Did he fly here?

"When have you succeeded in being covert, you dumb kitten?", he scolded her and helped her up.

"I"m not dumb!", she pouted and she forgot her mission, "Make Chenglie hate me" .

Why is everyone calling me dumb? She wondered.Chenglei never called me dumb before and he is calling me that now.

This dumb girl! Chenglei thought, an hour ago, she was standing midair with tornados on command and defeated an entire fleet single-handedly. Now, she is falling face first over a sharp piece of porcelain on the floor. Just how stupid is she? How careless is she? Can"t she protect herself well? Dumb... Dumb girl!

Chenglei scolded her in his heart and seeing her pouty face, that still had the innocence he is accustomed to, a loud bell started to ring in his head.

This girl is dumb only around me and she is still dumb around me...

THERE IS NO WAY THIS DUMB GIRL CHEATED ON ME!

"You.... You think you can get smart over me?", Chenglei pointed his finger at Xing who was surprised by his sudden scream was more surprised when he grabbed her by the waist and carried her like a potato sack on his strong shoulders.

"Let me go!", she punched his back but he spanked her b.u.t.t making her go all red.

Did I just got spanked? This pervy wolf! Or is this his punishment for cheating in him? How embarra.s.sing!

"Shh! Don"t move around" he shushed her but Xing was embarra.s.sed. Since when is he this a.s.sertive? Wasn"t he always gentle? Did his anger smde him like this? What should I do?

"Let go!", she cried, "I"m an unmarked woman... You cannot do this to me!"

Saying this, she started to create a fuzz by wiggling her legs and arms but Chenglei face another spank in her b.u.t.t making Xing extremely embarra.s.sed.

Not again!

" What unmarked..?", he was confused by her and then he realised what she meant.

She is telling me that she doesn"t belong to me or anyone? Well, let"s see!

"Huh! So you are still on it! I"ll teach you a lesson!.... Stop hitting me! Your puny arms cannot harm me, Missy!", he said. The determination in his voice made Xing shudder for a moment.

What does he mean? He is not going to do anything bad to me, right?

But before she reacted, she was thrown on the bed which had a nice, wedding night vibe to it with all the red decorations.

Before Xing could get an idea of what was happening, he undid his belt and straddled on her interlocking his fingers with hers.

Xing saw the man above her, looking ethereal as always and she only then noticed that his hair has grown a lot. His eyes were the same as always but now it had a dangerous glint to it and his thin lips had an odd smirk to it. His robes were dishevelled revealing his collarbone that looked so provoking and Xing felt her throat go dry and she forgot about her plight.

"Wha...",before she tried to ask him, his lips landed in hers with a domineering and possessive way as if he wanted to merge her into him. His velvety tongue found its way past her teeth and entered her and danced with her tongue creating the familiar sensation in her.

This is good..! I missed him a lot...!

Xing started to kiss him back forgetting once again She is supposed to make him hate her...
