The Emperor and his lover

Chapter 33| Nickname

Chen Ju was angrily pacing around in her room. She never imagined that the event turn-up could be like this. She already hated Huang Dewei because of the power he had over Wang Lei just as a slave. She can just imagine how it would be when he would be given equal status as his concubine. There would be no difference left between him and Chen Ju. The ceremony of Huang Dewei's becoming Wang Lei's concubine would take place in some time so Chen Ju has some time to do between that time. She needed to come up with a plan so he would not gain equal status as her neither did she has to apologise to that flirty person for the act she never regretted.

Meanwhile, Xin Ying sighed and looked toward Huang Dewei who was sitting on the bench as he was enjoying the air. The whole atmosphere made him feel stuffy hence he came out to get some fresh air while Xin Ying had no idea how to approach him. However, she gained courage and walked toward him. He looked up at her and as usual greeted her with respect.

'Are you angry with me?' Xin Ying asked looking at his chopped hair and Huang Dewei shook away his head as he spoke up

'I am not angry, but hurt. I don't get why you did that Xin Ying.' Huang Dewei complained and Xin Ying sighed regretfully

'I became blind...Chen Ju said we should not let a slave like you walk all over us and I believe her. I should have acted more mature.' Xin Ying confessed and Huang Dewei could not help but felt little space for forgiveness for Xin Ying in his heart.

'I have fallen in love with him but he never accepted me completely. But now the situation I have been put in due to circumstances he would have every right over me...I can't reject him neither I would want to. I am telling you clearly now so you won't come back attacking me again because you are his wife.' Huang Dewei said truthfully and Xin Ying's heart hurt hearing those words but there was no lie. All she could do was nodded her head

'I understand. I do regret my childish act and I do apologise to you now and would do it after the ceremony as well.' Xin Ying said as tears started falling off her eyes and Huang Dewei's heart weaken. At the end day, she was once the love of his life...she meant everything to him. They both moved on from each other, but that does not mean they had no space for each other.

'Even if I want to reject the offer of being his third concubine for you I can't. I am just still a slave...I have very less status in front of him.' Huang Dewei said and Xin Ying just nodded her head as Huang Dewei moved his hand ad softly cleaned off the tears.

'Thank you.' Xin Ying said as she smile at him with teary eyes and Huang Dewei smiled back at him. Meanwhile, Wang Lei who standing far away saw a whole scene happening in front of him.

'Do you want to go there, your Majesty?' Cheng asked as he saw him standing on the same spot watching them from far away Wang Lei shook away his head as he spoke up

'No leave them...they need time and space to sort out their issues. Let them talk and discuss.' Wang Lei said and walked off because he knew how Huang Dewei still had soft spot for Xin Ying as his first love and would always have that spot for her. Same with Xin Ying while Cheng nodded his head and quickly followed him inside. After ending his short-lived conversation with Xin Ying, Huang Dewei came back to Wang Lei's chamber. He bowed down and greeted him as Wang Lei looked up at him.

'I got work for you, Huang Dewei.'

'How I can help you with my service, your Majesty?' Huang Dewei responded back immediately

'Feng Zhi's message came. He has to send a description and the address of the man I told him to find out about. We need to go to libaray and get that information.' Wang Lei told him and Huang Dewei nodded his head

'Do you want me to go alone?'

'No, I will go with you. Last time they attack you so they can do it again.' Wang Lei said and Huang Dewei nodded his head
