LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS 339 Revealed Truth

"Lord Zhong! How uncouth of you!", the ignored Chenglei raised his voice to be mattered and only then Maya noted him, stood up and gave him a curtsey.

"Who...?", Seiren still drunk focused his eyes on Chenglei, "Oh! Lord Li...", he giggled for some reason, "Come join us...", he patted his lap as if he was asking Chenglei to sit on his lap making Maya close her eyes in exasperation and Chenglei's face twitch.

"Come...", he laughed.

" Ahhh... He won't... Don't you know, Seiren... Lord Li cannot drink... He'd get drunk in one or two cups.... If you want an easy target to win, there he is.... The great Lord Li... Bad drunk and seeker of women half his age!", Xing spoke with a sneer in her voice mocking him.

Her answer made even Seiren sober a bit. Did she just diss the great ice mountain? And what about him seeking younger women? Is she drunk and mixing up people? When was the last time anyone saw him with a woman?

Maya noted Chenglei standing behind Xing and his face turning red with anger.

Why is she calling that playboy by his name? And why is she this close with him? Why are they acting this chummy with each other even in front of his wife? Also, How did that woman know I can't drink? And what's with that "seeker of women" title for me? When did she see me with other women? And Half my age? She really thinks I'm forty?...

"Táng JiaXing!", he said gritting his teeth, "Get up right this instance and come with me!"

"Nope", Xing said casually and resumed her drinking.

"She's staying with me tonight!", Seiren added and Chenglei's face got a bit more colder.

"Lord Li", Maya gave a polite smile trying to salvage the tense atmosphere, " I wanted Miss Táng to stay with me tonight. So please..."

"JiaXing!", Chenglei ignored Maya and his cold voice made Maya jerk a bit, " Get up! Now!"

"Tsk... Stop screaming!", Xing placed the wine jar in the table and rubbed her ears that were ringing and her head was spinning along with it.

"Let. Us. Go. Back!", he stressed each word but the intoxicated Xing ignored him once again.

"You go...", she waved her hands weakly, "Go to your lover woman!"

This woman! Wait.. Is she angry thinking I have a Fiancé? Is she jealous by any chance? Good!

Chenglei's mood got lifed in a moment.

"Xing, Let's go home ", he spoke in a gentler tone bending near her ears this time and Xing who was about to pick the jar of wine accidentally toppled the jar by his familiar way of addressing.

This was the first time he called her as 'Xing' as he used to in three years and Xing could not hold her emotions. Without knowing she obeyed him and tried to stand up but she could not feel her legs and ended up stumbling back in her seat.

"I don't have legs!", she turned to look at him with a pout.

"Don't", Seiren tried to grab her hand and she swatted his hands off.

Good girl! How cute is she?

Chenglei was pleased with her pleading look and without any thoughts bent and picked her up leaving the mumbling Seiren and perplexed Maya back.

What happened here?

In the carriage, Xing stuck close to Chenglei and he felt his entire body heating up by her wriggling all over him.

"That woman is not my Fiancé", he said holding her to keep her from moving and to reduce his discomfort.

"Really?... But she said that..."

"Do you think women won't lie?", he kissed her hair since he felt like it and gently caressed her hair since it felt good in his fingers, "By the way, were you jealous?", he tried to see her face but she buried her face deep in his chest.

"Nooo....", her muffled voice was heard buried in his clothes, "I don't care! "

Chenglei chuckled seeing her trying to hide her embarrassment and soon he felt her face inching towards his neck and she started kissing him. He liked that sensation and he closed his eyes savouring that feeling and her kisses trailed towards his chin and close to his lips when he suddenly remembered the last time she kissed him, she kissed him thinking he was someone else and he stopped her from moving further by holding the back of her head,

"Who am I?", he asked and the tip of his nose was touching hers and his hot breath fell on her and he could feel her hot breath on him too.

"You... Are... My Prince!", the intoxicated Xing replied slightly pinching his nose and proceeded to kiss his lips and Chenglei who didn't realise she was mentioning him, tried to push her away.

"Woman! Don't kiss me thinking of someone else", he said with irritation.

"What?", Xing's eyes that were already watery because of her drunken state, started to tear up more and streams of tears started falling from the corner of her eyes. "Why did you say that, meanie? ", she started sobbing.

Chenglei felt like his heart was squeezed by her crying and kissed her, "I'm sorry, don't cry... You can kiss me all you want..."

Before he even finished the sentence that petite woman in his arms wrapped her arms around his shoulders and started kissing him.

Chenglei's hair got dishevelled and his clothes were wrinkled by her scuffing on him and his lips were stingy as she bit him hard and he became hard too.

"What can I do with you? ", he whispered placing his forehead over hers and his finger traced her swollen lips... Why can't you love me?

"Take me to bed!", she nuzzled her head into his chest, "Let's sleep together!", she rubbed her head in his chest and he could feel her sniffing him like a dog.

This woman!

He ran his fingers and gripped hard the hair in in the back of her head and made her look at him, "Do you really want to?"

His eyes were filled with lust as his entire body was heated up the moment she kissed him and he really wanted to sink himself into her.

"Absolutely!", she spoke in a husky and coy tone and stuck her tongue out to lick his lips. She really looked so beguiling, Chenglei wanted to not worry about the driver sitting in the front and take her just then and there in the carriage. But he decided to wait till they get back and after she takes a bath. She reeked of alcohol, he felt like he'd get drunk sniffing her.

"Don't change your mind then!", he kissed her with his hands wandering everywhere. Even if she regrets it the next morning I can use this as an excuse to make her take responsibility and marry me.

"Wait...I can't... Baobei...", she pushed him aside. "Baobei will be waiting for me..."

"Oh, really!", he bit her lips in frustration and she hissed.

Must she bring that monkey boy up now?

"Why are you letting someone else's son to call you mother?", he asked her watching her blow on her lips that was reddened by his bite. He felt bad for biting her hard and gently rubbed it and he only felt more hard with that sweet sensation.

"He'll probably be the only one who'd call me mother!", she said as she tried to get our of his hold and he could feel her sobering up. And there were fresh tears forming in her eyes as the rims if her eyes turned red and the tears dropped in his hand and for some reason those tears felt much bitter and much hotter than her previous tears and Chenglei felt a stab in his heart.

He didn't let her go and hugged her much closer to him, "Why?", he asked. He felt like he knew the answer.

"I... I got poisoned.... I can't carry a child", she said and stopped struggling out of his grip.

Now how will you react, my Prince?

Her tears started to fall more as his grip on her loosened and she wiped her face and composed herself.

"Not my Prince", she mumbled in her mouth and it didn't escape Chenglei's ears.

He is not my Prince! My Prince forgot me and this man here would want children! And I can't blame him even! He doesn't know me!

She fixed her hair and clothes that were dishevelled hurriedly as she sobered up while Chenglei was pale.

"Lord Li! I'll take my leave", she plastered a smile on her face and asked the driver to stop the carriage and got out immediately.

Should I have not told him the truth?

Xing wondered and the thought made her heart sank. But she decided against crying. She'd been crying a lot lately and it is not going to do her any good.

The cold breeze that blew on her face gently, made her forget her sorrows and the sweet scent of the flowers around lofted her spirit as she walked towards her Manor.

It'll be fine! Everything will be fine... My Prince sure will remember me...!

Xing entered her Manor and Baobei came running to her as he was waiting for her arrival by the gate.

Chenglei who followed her watching her back saw the little boy jumping into her arms and she spun that boy around and carried him into her Manor.

Chenglei's heart was hurting too.

She cannot carry a child? Why? She really looks good with a child! Why her? I wanted her to carry my children... So why?

When she said she cannot carry a child, he felt like thousand swords were hacking his heart. Somehow the pain felt similar... When have I felt the same pain as this before...? Why can't I remember...?

And that woman, is that the reason her lover abandoned her? What a trash he is... Why is she still waiting for him? How pitiful is she?

So he got down from the carriage and silently followed her walking slumped for some time and then as if she'd reached a decision or as if she'd composed herself, she got her back straight and walked with her usual gait... The gait of a confident person!

Isn't she amazing? How wonderful is she? How blissful it would be to spend the rest of our lives together?

Is not being able to have a child a big issue? YES!

And Do I mind? No, I don't mind....

True, I made plans having kids with her, two boys looking like me and two girls looking like her... But...

Why is that someone like her have to suffer?

Then Chenglei remembered how she said she had a personal vengeance against Shihong. So was that him who poisoned her? Must be...

Chenglei wanted to dig up Shihong's grave and hack him to pieces. What a scum!

What a day!

Chenglei rubbed his face with his palm and her lingering scent on him got to his senses.

It would have been a fiery night.... If not for that monkey boy!

Chenglei cursed Baobei in his heart and went to his Manor.

And for the truth she revealed to him that night... He decided to bury it deep in his heart and pretend to have not heard it. It doesn't matter to him anyway.

Yes, that's better! That woman should not feel less about herself!
