It's a tranquil night, the crescent moon hides behind the white cloud and the dimmed light shine through the window a handsome man with face like a deity sits on the couch, his white smooth hair fall on her shoulder and covering his broad chest, he leaned his back on the couch while gazing the night sky, slowly he sips his wine than suddenly someone enter his room without knocking.

He was stunned for a moment "Milord?" he called. ​​

Zhao Li Xin raised his hand he prevented him from standing, he takes a seat on the chair opposite Jin Hao than Jin Hao pours a cup of wine for him, Zhao Li Xin waits him finish pouring the wine before he takes the winecup elegantly.

Then both of them drink the wine quietly, Jin hao didn't know why he is here but he guesses maybe he has something important to tell him so he's waiting for Zhao Li Xin to speak.

"Fourteen years…."Zhao Li Xin suddenly said.

Jin Hao looking at him with confused looks but Zhao Li Xin didn't look at him, Zhao Li Xin spin the winecup gently "Other then Mong Ki and mong Yi you are the one who served me the longest"

"I believe so…"Jin Hao answer with puzzle looks.

"Mong Ki said it was you who investigated about lorry missing behind my back, you also cooperated with other King palace without noticing me" he stare at Jin Hao deeply.

Jin Hao feel his heart stop "That because…..we don't know for sure and I don't want Milord to…."

Zhao Li Xin raised his hand again to stop his painstaking effort to explain he immediately shut his mouth he can only hope Zhao Li Xin won't punish him too severely.

"Thank you…." Zhao Li Xin said with a quiet voice.

Jin Hao suddenly froze his mouth slightly open and his eyes bulged widely 'Am I dreaming?'

Zhao Li Xin ignore his dumbfounded expression "If not because of you, it would take longer for her to reach me and she would encounter more danger when she looking for me, a danger like Qian Qi Feng…." he sighs, he used to be meticulous and careful person but when he thought Lory die his brain suddenly stop working, he admitted he can't think straight at that time.

Zhao Li Xin raised from his seat "That's all…." He flicks his robes than turn around "Good night….Jin" he said briefly before he got out and close the door gently.

Jin Hao remains frozen, he didn't understand, is Zhao Li Xin come personally to his room just to say thank you? Really? that arrogant and overbearing Lord?

Suddenly Jin Hao stifles he can't stop laughing then he takes a deep breath while gazing at the night sky "Luo Ri Yi, you are amazing…" he raises his winecup with bright smiles that no ever seen.

"How long you gonna leave…." Zhao Li Xin complains while fixing her hair.

"Just for a few hours, two hours max" Lory raised his two fingers "Its been a while since a spend the time with that brat and Yang Xi Yin" Lory clapped his hand while pleading pitifully.

"I haven't been spent time with you either" he complains.

Zhao Li Xin make an expression like an abandoned puppy which make her waver slightly but she already promises with her girlfriend and that brat would annoy her for a long time if she dares to break her promise than she turns around and wrapped her arms on his waist

"Pleaseeee…..just this one time"

He gave no resistance when she acted like this, he can only sigh heavily "Fine, two hours and return right away, stay away from trouble and the shadow guard will follow your every move!"

"Okay-okay!" she nods her head obediently.

Even the great Lord could never win with his wife-to-be but he can only cater to her wish reluctantly, because he didn't want to lose too much he gives Lory a long morning kiss to compensate him, of course, she didn't feel loss anything who doesn't like being kiss by a man like Zhao Li Xin especially when she deeply in love with her so she thought today is a good day.

When they were kissing he feel a soft, warmed tongue slip into his mouth and entangled with him suddenly he stops "What is that? He looks surprised.

"French kiss….you don't like it?" she asked worriedly.

"French huh?" he doesn't know what is that but doesn't matter, he make teasing smiles and pulls her head closer "I like it, teach me!" then he kissed her again.

He is a very talented student it didn't take look before he can do it perfectly and take the lead, Lory pushes his chin slightly "I need to leave…. before I'm late…." She said while panting, her face as red as boiling crab.

Zhao Li Xin didn't look better either, his eyes filled with passion and his body feel hot even immortal flame never burn him like this "Should you go?" he didn't want to let her go after this, there's so much to learn.

"Yeah, I should…" she said with coquettish giggles "Now let your hand off from my butt…." She raised her eyebrows, someone just squeezes her butt in the heat of the moment.

"Only if you release mine…" he raised his eyebrows too, it turns out she's no better.

"Ehm, okay!" she retracts her hands from his tight bottom "Sorry…" she awkwardly said.

"It's fine, as long you let me touch you you can touch mine" he whispers seductively in her ear.

Lory feel someone doing 'karate chop' on her heart 'Why this morning is so hot, is it summer already?'

Zhao Li Xin help Lory fixed her silver and blue hanfu the dress looks very feminine with lace and small orchid embroidery on the wide sleeve, he also fixed her hair again and Lory also helps him fixed his robes most of all it because is her fault.

"Lory doesn't forget wearing veil or bamboo hat" he suddenly reminds her.

"Why you think I'll bee to beautiful and attract many bees?" she said jokingly.

"Yes!" he confirmed her without a doubt.

Lory roll her eyes "How many time I tell you, my looks are average beside I walk with great beauty like Yang Xi yin and Ming Yue Yin no one would give me attention, they might not realize I'm there"

Zhao Li Xin disagrees "Its better safe than sorry" he refuted.

"Sorry for whom?" Lory chuckles.

"For them…" he answers with a stern gaze.

"...….." Lory decide to wear a veil just to save the innocent bystanders.
