After their heated shower session, they both stepped out of the bathroom with smoke projecting above their heads.
"That was...exciting, different, and pleasant.."
"Hmph, next time, I'll be the one dominating you and it'll last much longer than this. I didn't even have my fun with you."
After filling Song Liya with pleasure and making her come, Yu Yingyi said she was tired from all the moving around so they discontinued it. In truth, Yu Yingyi was a bit scared of what Song Liya was feeling, she didn't know what to expect if they were doing "it".
"Maybe next time, I'd like to save myself for marriage," said Yu Yingyi.
"Please tell me you're joking, after what we did, there's no way you're being serious. I hate people who save themselves for marriage, it didn't make sense on why they would do that."
"I'm joking, but there's no need to be so harsh about people who'd like to save themselves for marriage. Everyone has their own preferences."
"Tsk, you're too nice and kind about things."
"I'm sorry I'm not a princess who's vicious and fierce to everyone."
"Hey-"
"And only needed a commoner to break down her walls."
"You're really trying to test me aren't you?" asked Song Liya.
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Who knows?" Yu Yingyi teased.
"I really dislike this mischievous side of yours, but at the same time, I like it."
"Song Liya, sometimes I wonder what type of fantasies do you have in your mind."
"Well, I like to roleplay sometimes too, like a professor and a student. Dominant to submissive roleplay, master and servant roleplay, owner and pet roleplay, royalty and servant. Bondage is my thing too, there's also-"
Before Song Liya could go on any further, Yu Yingyi quickly interrupted her with the face of a tomato.
"Stop! I don't want to hear more of your crazy fantasies!"
"I want to have a royalty and servant roleplay with you."
"Song Liya!"
"Relax, you were the one who asked what type of fantasies I have. I was just naming them."
"You didn't have to name that many...now all these weird ideas are in my mind and I can't get rid of them."
"Ah, then I'm glad I broadened your mind, soon, you'll reach the level where I'm at."
"Don't say it so proudly!"
The two were having their lover's quarrel, as usual, this always happened but there was no hostility shown, it was all for fun and to show their love for each other.
One could say they show their love to each other differently than how normal people do.
Meanwhile, Jia Yi was listening furiously behind the door. She hated Prince Yingyi being together with that princess. Even if the princess confronted her, there was nothing the princess could do since the princess didn't know where she was from.
Plus, with the empress backing her up, everything was going to go her way. The plan was to break apart Prince Yingyi and Song Liya, but what was the point in just doing that? When she saw the prince in person, she instantly fell in love with him, his dazzling appearance and his handsome look that was mixed with a bit of femininity.
Who wouldn't fall in love with a man like that?
Of course, there was going to be competition and it would take a long time, but there was no way she was going to give up after coming this far. After all, she had the same type of competitiveness and possessiveness as the princess.
A sharp glint appeared in Jia Yi's eyes as Yu Yingyi felt a shiver down her spine.
"Are you okay?"
"Yep, I just felt a shiver down my spine, it felt chilling."
"Hmm, perhaps it's cold? But that's impossible since the temperature isn't even that high."
"Maybe there's someone out there talking about me? Though I don't think there's anything about me that would make someone talk about me." Yu Yingyi said before switching the topic. "Song Liya, help me bring the jades to the store."
"I don't want to." Song Liya whined.
"Alright, then I'll go by myself."
Song Liya stared in shock at Yu Yingyi, she didn't even try to get her to go. Before she knew it, the sound of the door closing and locking could be heard as she was filled with regret.
As Yu Yingyi was carrying her bag full of her creations, many people were once again surprised by her appearance. And each time she was here, everyone was happy and grateful.
There was a bell ringing signaling someone entered the jade store.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" Yu Yingyi called out.
"Yes! I'm currently doing something so please come to the counter if you need anything." a voice replied.
"Will do then."
Yu Yingyi walked to the counter and met with an old woman with who she was familiar.
"Hello, I'm here to sell jades," said Yu Yingyi.
"Alright, how- Prince Yingyi?! Excuse me for making you come up to the counter, I should've greeted you when you came in."
Yu Yingyi waved it off. "It's okay, you didn't know it was me at the door anythings. But there's no need to be so formal, I'm the one who used to come here and sell jades all the time."
"Huh? Don't tell me you're the person who would come in here, drop off jades and a note then quickly leave."
"Haha! That's me!"
"Oh my gosh, look at you now! Marrying the princess, let me guess, she fell in love with your jades, or did she fall in love with your looks?"
Yu Yingyi didn't know how to answer since Song Liya never told her why she fell in love with her in the first place. So instead, she replied with this.
"I guess both? I'm not really sure since I didn't ask."
Yu Yingyi felt a light slap on her arm.
"With your looks and your abilities, I wouldn't be surprised. There are even women already staring from you from outside the windows."
Yu Yingyi glanced behind her and saw the sight, indeed, several young ladies were peeking at her. Their reaction would be priceless if they found out she was a girl, but she couldn't tell them that.
Moreover, Yu Yingyi felt like she was being pampered by a grandma, it was a good feeling though.
'Maybe I'll stay a bit longer, Song Liya can wait.'
