The Emperor and his lover

Chapter 27 | Spring is here

Wang Lei standing in the baloney of his room as he looked up towards the cherry blossom trees. It was the start of Spring. The flowers were everywhere making the surroundings and environment refreshing and beautiful.

Wang Lei thought his gaze fell on Huang Dewei who was standing a little far away with his friend Qi Zixin while he was talking and laughing. He was also there to enjoy the beautiful starting of Spring and at that moment Wang Lei realised his laugh was a million times more beautiful than Spring flowers. He had not seen him since yesterday after an incident with his father. He came but he send him away saying he wanted to be left alone and he should just go and enjoy his time off. Feng Zhi had also gone on his mission of finding that suspicious man.

Wang Lei thought as he was staring at him who probably was unknown from his gaze when he saw Xin Ying stopping in front of him. He saw them bowing down and then he saw Xin Ying pulling Huang Dewei with her into a corner. They were talking about something which Qi Zixin had no idea but now knowing their love history he definitely was not happy with their closeness. Wang Lei sighed angrily and walked back inside his room.

Huang Dewei bowed down to Xin Ying surprised when he saw her standing in front of him while Qi Zixin also bowed down with equal surprised expressions while her maids and servants were standing behind her.

'I need to talk to you, Huang Dewei...in private.' Xin Ying said and before Huang Dewei could say a word she pulled him from his hand and took him away.

'What do you want to talk about Xin Ying? This is not the right place.' Huang Dewei whispered as he looked around. Fearful of people gossiping and more importantly that gossip reaching Wang Lei's ears who already seem extremely sad over his fight with his father.

'Did Wang Lei ask you anything?' Xin Ying whispered asked worriedly.

'Ask what?'

'About us?'

'No, why would he ask?'  Huang Dewei replied confused and Xin Ying sighed in relief

'Thank god...two nights ago, he came to my room and ask about my ex-lover.' Xin Ying said and Huang Dewei felt the earth stop around him as he stopped breathing.

'What?'

'Yeah I thought he caught you, but if you are still standing here alive then it probably was nothing.' Xin Ying said as an insurance and Huang Dewei nodded his head as he felt relief. Wang Lei asked nothing from him neither did he seems suspicious.

'You are right.'

'Anyway, just be careful. I will see you later.' Xin Ying said and walked off while Huang Dewei was left deep in thoughts when Qi Zixin stopped next to him

'What happens? Why Emperess wanted to talk to you in private.'  Qi Zixin asked curiously

'It's nothing. She wanted some information on her husband regarding his Majesty from him since I am his personal bodyguard and stay with him the most throughout the day.' Huang Dewei lied and Qi Zixin just nodded his head and looked away towards the flowers on the tree as Huang Dewei remembered Wang Lei. He really wanted to enjoy spring flowers with him. Huang Dewei thought as he sighed

'I need to go somewhere... I will be going, Qi Zixin. You enjoy.' Huang Dewei said the next second then turned over and walked off without hearing what Qi Zixin had to say who just sighed then went back to watching flowers. Huang Dewei reached in front of Wang Lei's chamber and after knocking he entered inside. Wang Lei looked back at him as he stopped reading his book.

'What are doing here, Huang Dewei? I told you to take a day off today.' Wang Lei said as he went back to reading. He was standing in front of the window, in his usual place to read as Huang Dewei stares at his shoulder then towards his hair and his gaze fell on the hairpin. He was wearing the hairpin he gave him, but this time the new one. A smile crept on Huang Dewei's face. He was genuinely happy.
