Bab 149: Under Heavy Scrutiny [Bonus chapter]

"Many officials will see us from here," Lóng Wei said as he looked at the road ahead of him. "Are you ready to get recognized, Wifey?" Lóng Wei asked and tilted his head to peer at her. 

Li Hua nodded at him. "I will not be scared anymore. His Highness is right. Someday, the truth about me, will be revealed. I don't need to hide anymore because I have His Highness by my side," Li Hua stated. 

Lóng Wei smiled. "Is this your way of proposing to me?" His brow arched in amusement. "You love to confess your feelings in an interesting way," he said. 

"I didn't confess my feelings, Your Highness," Li Hua clarified his misunderstanding. "I am using His Highness. He told me that I could use him as my shield in any situation," Li Hua reminded him of the words he told her on the wedding night. 

Lóng Wei ducked his head and softly kissed her cheek. Li Hua's eyes grew bigger, and she immediately stepped back, covering her cheek with her palm.
