Hualian's Arranged Marriage

Chapter 45: Alone time?🏮

"Alone time?"

(I will be warning those who aren't interested beforehand.)

"Alright, when will you leave?" Hua Cheng said firmly but he still tried to be as soft as possible to not upset Shuang.

Shuang knew that she had struck a nerve when he spoke in such a straightforward way.

She began to feel embarrassed and ashamed, realizing that she had pushed his limits and Xie Lian must be uncomfortable too.

She then decided to leave, with a guilty look on her face. Closed the door shut and just went in the kitchen to enjoy her usual snacks.

Hua Cheng and Xie Lian in the meantime just sigh together. Xie Lian started blushing a little. "What if we just started to when yue'er...- ahem...! What am I thinking... What am I thinking..." He thought in mind before calming himself down. Hua Cheng just fixed his sleeves.

"Gege, are you alright?" He asked Xie Lian concerned about his health. Xie Lian looked at Hua Cheng who was really showing signs of annoyance after Shuang just left them both alone.

"You have stood for long, you should sit now." Hua Cheng took Xie Lian's hand and let him sit on the comfortable chair. Xie Lian sighed again.

"San..San Lang." Xie Lian called out.

"Mhn? Yes your highness... What is it?" Hua Cheng started caressing Xie Lian's cheek with his thumb. He wanted to adore Xie Lian like this. Always.

"You... You shouldn't have abruptly told Yue'er to leave. She must be hurt right now." Xie Lian was geniune with his response, he really didn't like to see Shuang so hurtful.

"Well gege, maybe you are right I shouldn't have done that. But-" Hua Cheng paused. He was starting to feel some guilt and remorse after seeing how much he had hurt Shuang's feelings.

He didn't want to push her away, but he also didn't want to let her intervene in his and Xie Lian's private conversation.

"But?..." Xie Lian asked him gently while he places his hand on Hua Cheng's. Hua Cheng's hands were cold, but Xie Lian's hands which were warm slowly transferred the heat from his hand to Hua Cheng's.

"But... We missed our..." Hua Cheng replied cautiously, looking down at Xie Lian's hands that had slowly transferred some of their heat to his cold hands.

Xie Lian's warm touch was comforting and calming, and Hua Cheng couldn't help but feel a little bit reassured.

"Missed our what? San Lang?" Xie Lian now carressed Hua Cheng's hand with his thumb. Hua Cheng was blushing madly at this moment.

Hua Cheng blushed so bad when he felt Xie Lian's warm touch, his cheeks burning with embarrassment.

He felt his heart beat faster and his breath become a bit short when Xie Lian's hands met his. His face continued to burn with a bright rosy hue, his eyes fixed on Xie Lian's hands, unable to look away from them.

Hua Cheng felt such a rush of emotions when Xie Lian's hands touched his that he couldn't think straight, and without thinking he moved Xie Lian's hands close to his lips and kissed them. Xie Lian was taken by surprise when he saw this, his eyes widening in shock before his eyes fluttering closed.

He let out a small gasp when Hua Cheng's lips made contact with his hands, a mixture of shyness and joy filling his body.

Hua Cheng lifted his eye and looked at Xie Lian, before kissing his hands again, this time without breaking contact.

Xie Lian was still in shock, but something inside him felt comfortable with the way Hua Cheng was holding his hands and kissing them.

He couldn't explain it, but he wasn't opposed to the idea, and in fact he felt like he enjoyed having his hands held and kissed by Hua Cheng.
