Chapter 175: Feelings Growing Stronger

Ying Lili lifted her head and pried into the eyes of Sheng Li. "Is it because you like me?" Ying Lili questioned. 

"We shall go to our chamber. I am sleepy," Sheng Li replied and pulled away from Ying Lili who pouted because Sheng Li again ignored her. She followed her husband, and the two soon arrived at the chamber. Sheng Li removed his overcoat and rested on the bed. 

Ying Lili was removing the accessories, but her focus was on Sheng Li whose reflection she was looking at from the mirror. "How will I make him confess his feelings for me?" Ying Lili thought. She removed the earrings from the ear and then lifted her hands to her hair. Removing the hairpins, she was removing the Bu Yao from her head, but it seemed the fringes were stuck in her hair. 

She kept trying for a few minutes when she felt Sheng Li's finger on her hand. "Let me help," Sheng Li said in a low voice. Ying Lili looked at his reflection in the mirror and put her hands down. Sheng Li after a few minutes succeeded in removing the Bu Yao hair accessory from Ying Lili's head and placed it over the dressing table. 

Ying Lili stood up and turned to thank him when she found the proximity between them. "Uh...thank you for the help," Ying Lili found she was stuttering. But why? She blinked her eyes as she lowered them because Sheng Li's intense gaze was making her nervous. 

"You tempted me to come here," Sheng Li said. 

"Huh?" Ying Lili raised her brow when she felt the grip of Sheng Li's thumb and finger on her chin as it was lifted. 

Sheng Li moved his eyes over Ying Lili's lips. She found that candle lights were getting dimmer and she could feel how her heartbeats were rising just by the intense gaze of Sheng Li on her. 

Ying Lili's mouth went dry seeing the intimate situation building between them. "A-are you not sleepy?" Ying Lili asked. 

"I am sleepy but I want something before sleeping," Sheng Li replied. 

Ying Lili closed her eyes and waited for Sheng Li to kiss her. Sheng Li puckered his lips together and after a while asked, "May I know what you are doing?"

Ying Lili immediately opened her eyes and found Sheng Li was smiling at her. "Y-you said that you want s-something," Ying Lili completed her words after a few stutters. 

"Are you having some dirty thoughts?" Sheng Li asked with a grin. 

"No," Ying Lili pushed him away. She turned towards the dressing table. She felt how red her cheeks had turned. What was she even thinking? A kiss with Sheng Li! But did he not say that he wanted something from her? She tightly shut her eyes because of the embarrassment when she felt Sheng Li's hand around her belly. She was pulled back such that her back hit Sheng Li's chest.

"I was asking for the meaning of the Butterfly that you have drawn on my wrist," Sheng Li whispered near her ear. She felt Sheng Li's lips on her earlobe. Goosebumps ran down her entire body.

Ying Lili was spun by Sheng Li, and now she was facing him. "Answer," Sheng Li sternly said. 

"I told you to find this meaning yourself," Ying Lili replied. 

"I am getting impatient," Sheng Li asserted.

"Then learn to be patient," Ying Lili yanked at him. Sheng Li placed his hand on Ying Lili's cheek and leaned closer to her. "Do you remember the previous night? You told something which you tried hard to hide but now I want you to answer," Sheng Li whispered. 

Ying Lili pretended that she did not remember a thing. "What are you talking about!?" Ying Lili giggled and tried to avoid his gaze. 

Sheng Li astonishingly looked at Ying Lili and smiled, seeing how she was pretending not to remember anything. "You like me but you will not confess your feelings until I do," Sheng Li pronounced out of sudden. 

Ying Lili stopped giggling. She did not expect that Sheng Li would bring that now. "Because you were drunk, so I did not believe those words, but I want to know now. Do you like me?" Sheng Li asked. 

Ying Lili clutched her dress. A few of the candles were quenched, thus reducing the light in the chamber. Sheng Li like all the time did not get a response from Ying Lili. She was as stubborn as him! He realized.

Sheng Li started moving his fingers over Ying Lili's cheeks who had closed her eyes. "Let's sleep. I am tired after today's incident," Sheng Li said. Ying Lili hummed, and they both went to the bed.

They both were facing each other while lying side by side. "Close your eyes," Ying Lili in her soft voice told Sheng Li who refused to do so.

Ying Lili then slightly moved towards him and lifted her body such that her lips came close to Sheng Li's forehead. She softly kissed his forehead and placed her head on the pillow.

The two kept staring at each other, and their hearts started racing just by looking at each other. Ying Lili quickly turned her back towards Sheng Li and placed her hand near her heart. She tightly shut her eyes when she felt Sheng Li's arm around her. 

"Let me hold you like this," Sheng Li stated and pulled Ying Lili towards him. "It is irresistible for me when you look at me with those eyes. My feelings for you are growing stronger with each passing day, but I am still scared that my closeness to you won't bring danger to you. 

I am getting protective of you when I should not be. That's why I fear to love because if anything happens to you, it is going to affect me a thousand times more than you. But you told me that love strengthens you, that's why I want to go with my heart too," Sheng Li thought and closed his eyes.
