Chương 789: Craving something Sweet

"Lili," Sheng Li walked to her and asked her why she didn't respond to him when he earlier shouted her name. "Why is there no light in the chamber?" He looked puzzled.

Ying Lili found that Sheng Li's upper clothes were wet and she immediately stood up. She put her hands on his arms and asked her why his robes were wet. Then, only she realized that rain was pouring.

"I thought to scare you," Ying Lili answered and smiled. In that dim yellow light from the candle, Sheng Li's grimace was clearly visible to her. His hair was wet too.

"Did you play in the rain? It is winter season, Sheng Li. You are not supposed to play in the rain," Ying Lili said concernedly. Her fingers stroked his right cheek and she called for Eunuch Xing-Fu.

Xing-Fu came with a lantern in his hand. "Your Majesty," he said and bowed.

"When I called you, you didn't respond," Sheng Li said coldly.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty," Xing-Fu apologized.
