Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 334 - Your Scent

"So, I need to catch you by becoming a blind man." Sheng Li had understood the game. Ying Lili nodded and tied the scarf over his eyes. Once she was done, she waved her hand in front of his eyes, trying to find out if his eyes were covered by the scarf or not.

"Shall I start?" Sheng Li asked.

"No," Ying Lili replied.

"I am confused. How will I find out where you are standing?" Sheng Li queried.

"I will call your name. This game is good for reflexes," Ying Lili stated and took him to the center of the pavilion. She left his hands and spun him around. She quickly jumped back and stepped a few meters back from Sheng Li.

Ying Lili lifted her high waist skirt a little and hit her feet against the wooden floor. The sound of anklets fell in Sheng Li\'s ear and he turned toward Ying Lili. "Are you there?" Sheng Li extended his hand out and stepped ahead. Ying Lili had changed her place while suppressing her laugh as Sheng Li was going in the wrong direction.

Sheng Li kept moving ahead and the curtain which was flowing because of the gentle breeze touched his fingers. He thought it was Ying Lili\'s dress and moved further, but when he caught it, he realized it was just a curtain. At that moment, Ying Lili laughed loudly. "I am here, Sheng Li. You caught a curtain," Ying Lili said.

Sheng Li smiled and moved towards her. This time he focused on the sound of anklets. "I will catch my Wildcat this time," Sheng Li confidently stated.

"Really?" Ying Lili said, placing both of her hands behind her back. "I never lost in this game. Hu Jingguo could never catch me. So, you can see how efficient I am in this game," Ying Lili proudly pronounced.

Sheng Li gave a wry laugh and then turned serious. "But I am not Hu Jingguo. I am your husband who can catch you whenever he wants to. He knows how to make his wife lose!" Sheng Li asserted. "Hu Jingguo is brainless, that is why he lost to you." Sheng Li never failed to insult Hu Jingguo.

Ying Lili snickered. She saw Sheng Li approaching her, so she went near a pillar. "The Mighty Crown Prince is underestimating his Crown Princess," Ying Lili proclaimed. Sheng Li had trained himself even blindfolded so that his reflexes could act better on a battlefield so this game was a lot easier for him.

Ying Lili found Sheng Li was more focused now. She went behind the pillar and the sound of not only her anklets but also the bangles fell into Sheng Li\'s ears. He dashed in the direction, but the pillar blocked his path. Ying Lili had stepped back and swiftly to the other side of the pavilion that was open to the lake.

A giggle escaped her mouth. "I did not know that the Crown Prince likes to embrace the pillars," Ying Lili teased him a little. Sheng Li pulled back and tried to understand where the voice was coming from. Ying Lili moved from pillar to pillar, making Sheng Li confused about her location.

"Where are you? It\'s irritating," Sheng Li muttered.

"What has happened to the husband\'s confidence? I did not expect you to lose this soon," Ying Lili stated while removing her anklets and placed them there. Pressing her feet tightly on the floor, she went closer to Sheng Li and halted behind his back. She reached her hand out when Sheng Li swiftly turned back just to catch her but Ying Lili was also quick on her acts. She moved to the left and her back hit against the pillar.

"Lili, you made a mistake," Sheng Li said, smirking. Before Ying Lili could move from her place, she was locked between the arms of Sheng Li.

Still, he had not touched her, so Ying Lili had a chance to run away. She bent a little just to escape from his catch when Sheng Li caught her arm and on the other hand removed the blindfold.

"Wildcat, I caught you," Sheng Li stated, pinning her to the pillar while the scarf in his hand fell on the floor. He\'s moved closer to her such that their bodies pressed against each other.

"How did you do that? I made sure not to make any noise. I even removed my anklets," Ying Lili affirmed and shifted her gaze towards the anklets which were lying near the fourth pillar, which was close to the exit of the Lotus Pavilion.

"I believe in my reflexes. You should admit that your husband can catch you even if you are far away from him," Sheng Li proclaimed.

Ying Lili lifted her eyes and peered at him. "Tell me," she was curious.

"Your scent," Sheng Li leaned closer to her ear and nuzzled her neck. "The perfume you are wearing is strong, Lili," Sheng Li moved back as his cheek touched hers. Ying Lili closed her eyes when she felt Sheng Li\'s lips just above her lips.

"Let me blindfold you," Sheng Li stated.

Forthwith, Ying Lili opened her eyes and drew her brows together. Sheng Li found Ying Lili did not want to catch him. "I want to see how good you are at catching your husband," stated Sheng Li.

"You said you will lose easily against me because you love me," an immediate and interesting reply came from Ying Lili. Sheng Li acknowledged that answer, but not fully.

"This is my first time playing such a game. It is fun. I do not want to play this with another person except my wife," Sheng Li stated. "But if you want me to play this with-" Ying Lili placed her palm over his lips and completed his words, "Why would you play with someone else? I will play but don\'t let me fall."

Sheng Li smiled. He could see Ying Lili did not want to be blindfolded. Now he was desperate to play this game with her.
