The Unknown Beauty 219 The Boy who called her lovely

He is from a very well known family known to the world. But he has left his family to follow the person he calls master. 

He has sent a letter to his family to let them know him a few people are coming over due to a problem that might occur in the area.

This was quite controversial since he has left the Shing Empire to help the Chu Empire. His mother wasn't sure if she would approve of this matter but Hua Maoli insisted on doing so. It was the first time she has witnessed her son being passionate and straight forward of his emotions so she let him do so and is very proud of him.

"Hello, mother. I'm here with a few friends of mine," he said. A girl entered the doorway of the Hua family home and was quite surprised. Another man and woman were standing together, speaking to themselves.

"Who is this lovely lady?" she asked in surprise, looking at the one by herself. 

"We meet a while ago. Her name is Zhao Meiying," he said. Then he closed into her ear and whispered to his mother.

"There is something strange happening that could affect the five great nations. We found some information that someone is here and we're here to capture them," he said.

"I see…" Hua Mulan was thinking for a few minutes before Meiying interrupted her thoughts.

"Hello," said Meiying. She bowed her head to show respect since she heard so many wonderful stories about her. "My name is Zhao Meiying."

Then the other two walked up behind her and also greeted Hua Mulan. 

"Hello, I'm Li Dan E, a Medical Alchemist," said Li Dan E.

"Hello, I'm Tang Kei Yong, from the Medical Sect. Branch in the Chu Empire," said the boy.

Funny story between these two, they were childhood friends until the tragic event happened to Li Dan E's family. When Tang Kei Yong and Tang Hongwu met her, they were in disbelief since they thought she died. 

Li Dan E was so surprised to see them. She didn't think she would ever see them again.

Tang Kei Yong was relieved she was still her old self.

"Welcome! Feel free to make this your home," Hua Mulan said. 

"Thank you for your kindness," said Meiying. She bowed again to show respect and it's something Hua Mu Lan really liked about this girl since she herself is proud of her success. It's rare for a lady to show her respect since most of the gossip and talk trash about others for no apparent reason. 

"Oh! I really like you!" she said out loud. She then grabbed Meiying's hands, and ask her, "Would you like to marry my son, Maoli?"

"Huh?" said Hua Maoli and Meiying. 

Their faces were shocked. None of them embarrassed. They honestly didn't know what to say. Even Li Dan E and Tang Kei Yong had no idea what to say. 

"Just kidding!~ It was a joke! Come, come! I'll show you your rooms," Hua Mulan said, changing the subject.

Hua Maoli didn't make a reaction but on the inside, his heart was beating fast. Meiying is a strong and beautiful woman and for the past few months, every time she was around, he couldn't help but look her way. He didn't realize that until a month ago and when he found out he would travel to his home with her, he got nervous. 

Sadly, it was with the other girl from the Wang Empire, who he met 2 months ago when she was visiting them to see if Meiying and the others were alright in the Chu Empire. 

"Sorry, I didn't mean…" Hua Maoli whispered in her ear so the others wouldn't see as his mother was showing them their rooms. 

"It's okay… I didn't mind," Meiying said. 

She was actually shocked when his mother said that. She didn't blush because she was so surprised, all the blood was drained away from her face. 

What's even worse, her heart was beating fast when Hua Maoli whispered that into her ear, making her super conscious of him now. 

Hua Mulan noticed their interaction, making her really want to know the girl her son is so interested in. She couldn't help but chuckle. 

There was another person also looking at the scene. Hua Shu Lan. She wanted a snack when she heard her mother's ridiculous statement and couldn't help but hide so she wouldn't be seen by her.

She then glanced at Meiying and observed her gestures and expression. Everything was to code of what her mother wanted as a daughter. Then she saw how her mother looked at Meiying with warm eyes. 

Hua Shu Lan got pissed. She turned around and went back into her room.

-----

A few weeks have passed since the interactions with the homeless people in the slums and Chen Xing-Fu, Lin Yu Yan and Han Bingwen are having fun in an open grassy area with the sun shining high in the sky.

"My mother said this it reminded her of my father," he said. "Since then, I come here every so often."

Lin Yu Yan was looking at Chen Xing-Fu's expression and could see he had no negative feelings about it.

'Since he has never met him in the first place,' she said. His face was smiling with a hint of sadness. Not the depressing sadness but an inevitable sadness, and in a way, kind of understanding.

"Have you ever thought what your father was like?" she asked Chen Xing-Fu.

"Sometimes I do… but I'm happy where I am, knowing that I have a loving... mother…. And people like you beside me," he said, looking at Han Bingwen and Lin Yu Yan.

"If my mother wasn't so sick and my father was not gone... I wish they would as lovely as you two," he said.

Han Bingwen pat him on the head. 

"You are weird," Han Bingwen said.

"A lot of people tell me that," Chen Xing-Fu said, laughing afterward. 

Then they spotted a dog down the hill and Chen Xing-Fu couldn't help get up and pet it happily.

It was just Han Bingwen and Lin Yu Yan left. She couldn't help but look at the smiling boy happy with such a hard life he has. 

"He's so strange…" she said.

"He is… I'm surprised by the kindness this boy has," said Han Bingwen. 

"Me too… despite being poor, he would rather share the things he has with other people," Lin Yu Yan said.

"And his little face… he is so bright, I forget sometimes I'm being hinted at the moment," she added.

"It's the second time for me… wanting to protect someone other than family," he said. 

"He's so weird to me… Like he came crawling into my heart without even realizing it," she said. 

"I feel the same," he said.

"Hmm… It would be nice if our son was like that," she said. 

Han Bingwen's eyes widen. That was a surprise to him. He grabbed her hand, making her turn to face him.

"Don't test me," he said. "The words that come out of that sweet mouth makes me lose control."

She just looked at him with warm eyes and smiled. "Not yet!~ I'm still 14 and being chased. Having a family in this situation is not ideal."

He looked at her and out of nowhere, kissed her on the lips. "But this will do for now."

Lin Yu Yan blushed intensely. 'He was never so bold before…'

"But I'm still mad I wasn't your first…" he said quietly, turning his head to look up at the clouds. "That stupid third prince took it away from me because he was dying."

Remembering the time where Lin Yu Yan blurted out giving Wang Ping mouth to mouth because Wang Ping couldn't swallow the medicine.

"But you were my first," she said. 

"Huh?" he said in confusion. 'I wasn?'

"Haha, I bet you don't remember," she said. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Her first kiss was when Han Bingwen and her first met when she went to wake him up.

'Mingli, that cute rascal! Who knew he could be so calculating!' Lin Yu Yan thought.

Han Mingli was the one who asked her to wake him up, knowing full well that Han Bingwen would act like that. 

"When…?" he thought. 

Han Bingwen couldn't remember doing so no matter how hard he tried. 

"I'm not telling you!" she said.

"Tell me!" he said. 

He tickled her, making her laugh. 

Chen Xing-Fu looked at them from a distance. It looked like a photo of his mother and father laughing, something he wished for. He couldn't help but smile. 

"Sister Yu Yan! Brother Bingwen" Chen Xing-Fu said, running to their arms, smiling along with them. 

In the distance a man was running away, breathing hard. He climbed up a tree looking into the distance, surprised to see the person again. 

"Why is she here!?" he said. "I thought she was in hiding somewhere. Why would she be here!?"

This man was the only one who got away from the Chu Empire. He left early by himself, delivering a message to the head but it seems news about his comrades made him scared.

'Sh!t, we thought if we waited it out, we wouldn't get caught… Who'd knew the Chu Emperor would catch them… Tsk. I don't have a boat or money...'

He was catching his breath, calming his mind to see if there is another way he can get escape and go to the main house. 

'The only option is to get on a ship unnoticed…' he said. 'Now… which ship is going to the West Continent?'
