132 He Protected me!

Ying Lili scoffed on hearing the statement by Sheng Li. "You have concluded wrong. I did not fall for you. You are the one who fell for me first," Ying Lili pronounced.

"Lili, you shall not hide the truth. Just accept the truth," Sheng Li asserted as he let go of her.

"I did not push you because I have accepted you as my husband. Feelings take time to grow," Ying Lili stated. Sheng Li did not argue on that further as he thought it would only waste their time. He stepped back and went to the pavilion while Ying Lili followed him. The two sat down around the ground table.

"Are you feeling good now?" Sheng Li asked.

Ying Lili nodded and replied, "Thank you for taking me here. I cannot be mournful for long. The Empress will be angry after knowing about the decision of his majesty. She will plan something big after this."

Sheng Li agreed with Ying Lili. "But she will not plan anything till we return," proclaimed Sheng Li.
