Book 9 Chapter 7 – A Significant Difference
Xiang Shaolong had just stepped into his residence with Wu Guo received him and reported: "Princess Ya is here. I invited her to the east room but she insisted on going into the inner hall. She has a dreadful look on her face!"
Earlier, he had seen Zhao Ya’s carriage and Zhao Da in the driveway. There is also a platoon of Zhao soldiers outside his door. Hearing about Zhao Ya’s dreadful look, he felt uncomfortable and inquired: "Where is Miss Shan and Miss Zhi?" Wu Guo answered: "They have gone back to visit Uncle Zheng and is not coming back tonight."
Xiang Shaolong frowned: "Did they meet each other?" Wu Guo stated: "Miss Shan received her personally while Miss Zhi hid herself."
Xiang Shaolong was relieved and strode right into the inner hall. Just as he stepped over the door ledge, Zhao Ya who was seated alone at the table lifted her pale face and looked at him.
Xiang Shaolong sat down beside her and asked carefully: "Why is your complexion so pale?" Zhao Ya icily demanded: "Dong Kuang! Did you really send your men to hold back Xiang Shaolong?" Xiang Shaolong had a big shock and put on an irritated look before replying: "Why did Princess make such a remark? Do I look like someone who breaks my promises?" Zhao Ya shot back: "In that case, why did I receive news that Xiang Shaolong was disguised as a travelling merchant and appeared in a village thirty miles east of Handan City? He was even involved in a fight with the local guard." Xiang Shaolong set his mind at rest. Teng Yi had finally acted. Concerned, he asked: "Did they capture Xiang Shaolong?" Zhao Ya shook her head: "In the wilderness, no one is his match!"
Xiang Shaolong curiously asked: "In this case, why is your face so deathly pale?" Zhao Ya was shaken and lowered her head, confessing: "I have no idea too. I think I am afraid that he knows that his tracks are exposed and he may not come to Handan anymore."
Xiang Shaolong understood her dilemma. She wanted him to come but wanted him to stay away at the same time. He lied: "My men detained him last night and warned him in Princess’s name. At the end of the day, I still do not comprehend why he wanted to come so close to Handan City. I have just received this news and have yet to inform Princess."
Zhao Ya looked at him suspiciously: "Are you lying to me?" Xiang Shaolong pretended to be infuriated and roared: "You just wait here, I will show you the evidence that I am not lying. Then I will chase you out of my residence and never want to set my eyes on you again!"
Before she can say another word, he slipped back to his bedroom and retrieved a flying needle. He fondled the Tian sisters for a moment before heading back to the inner hall and put the flying needle on the table in front of Zhao Ya.
The flying needle shone under the lamp.
Zhao Ya stretched out her finger and stroked the needle, hot tears pouring out from both eyes. She trembled: "Heavens! You really found him. What... What did he say?" Xiang Shaolong used his sleeve to wipe her tears and lied: "He did not say anything. When we asked him for proof, he picked out this needle from a belt that is filled with flying needles. With that he left us. I did not expect him to stick around; he is really courageous."
Zhao Ya did not have any more doubts left. Gritting her teeth, she spoke softly after some time: "Dong Kuang, can you help Zhao Ya with another favour?"
Xiang Shaolong was piqued: "What favour do you want? Hey! I nearly forgot to chase you out and you still dare to ask for favour..." Zhao Ya did not even hear his words and begged in a soft voice: "Can you bring me and catch up to him?" Xiang Shaolong was aghast: "No way!"
In a daze, her body was s.h.i.+vering uncontrollably and she turned around and fell into his arms. With a loud "Hoo!" She began crying her heart out.
Filled with her sweet embrace, Xiang Shaolong was saddened as well and sighed that she should not have betrayed him knowing that this will be the end result.
After crying out all the pain and suffering in her heart, Zhao Ya recomposed herself. Still in his arms, she sobbed silently and the front of Xiang Shaolong’s s.h.i.+rt is all drenched. As he is wondering how to end this situation, she calmed down.
After she stopped crying, Zhao Ya sat still and lowered her head while Xiang Shaolong dried her tears.
Xiang Shaolong commented: "Princess must have owed Xiang Shaolong plenty of tears in her last life so she has to return so many tears today."
Zhao Ya forced a smile and shook her head in silence. Her complexion remains abnormal.
Xiang Shaolong noticed her eyes were swollen with all the crying and sighed: "No one else can replace Xiang Shaolong in your heart. Princess need not deceive myself and yourself."
Zhao Ya apologetically reached out and felt his wet s.h.i.+rt. Her pretty eyes flas.h.i.+ng of desire, she bit her lips: "I want to try. Dong Kuang. I need a man now. Can you carry Zhao Ya into your bedroom?"
Xiang Shaolong was in a difficult position. If he rejects her again, it would put him as an unreasonable man. At the same time, he did not wish to hurt her fragile heart anymore.
For the sake of the City Commander promotion, he cannot offend her.
After he is done with Zhao Ya and Ji Yanran comes along later, will he still have the energy?
Zhao Ya’s face is burning hot and she whined: "What are you hesitating about?" Xiang Shaolong sighed loudly and lifted her up but his mind is back in the 21st century. Based on his memory, he is trying to recall the dirty films he has seen and wanted to try out something new and exciting. If he used his usual methods, he may not be able to deceive this experienced woman whom he done with on many occasions.
For an unknown reason, Zhao Ya was trembling with strong emotions. It could be that she is carried but an athletic and well-built man like Xiang Shaolong. Without any foreplay, she is already visibly excited and cannot hold back any longer.
Thinking that there is no way out for him, Xiang Shaolong stepped into his bedroom and placed her on his bed.
Gazing at him, Zhao Ya’s face is red like fire and she was panting non-stop. Her unconventional look is the most enthralling.
Xiang Shaolong stood at the bedside and was feeling very inappropriate. In the
