Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince-Chapter 628 - Worse than Bai Jue [Bonus chapter]

628 Worse than Bai Jue [Bonus chapter]

Ye Xin withdrew from the hug and looked into Xiwan’s eyes. “What do you say? Should we get married tomorrow?” She asked him.

Xiwan was flustered by her question. He was stunned by the straightforwardness of Ye Xin. Also, he fell for her because she was next to him when he didn’t even expect her presence around him.

“How is that possible?” Xiwan asked her.

“Why? I only need to inform my parents about us. My elder brother already knows about us,” Ye Xin stated and smiled at him.

“You already told your elder brother about me?” Xiwan was surprised to learn about it.

“Yes. He is so excited to see you and he supports my decision. I told my brother that I want to marry only one person and that is Xiwan,” Ye Xin stated while smiling brightly.

“I am not used to such a kind of scenario, so I do not know what I should say. I have many unexplainable feelings inside my head, but in words, those feelings are difficult to explain,” Xiwan asserted.

“Hmm.” Ye Xin nodded her head and asked him if he liked her. “You still have not told me about it,” she stated and lowered her gaze.

“I am sorry for not saying anything about it till now. I feel myself a lucky man that you see me as your future husband. I will not delay in conveying my feelings. I like you, Ye Xin. I would love to be your husband and take you as my wife,” Xiwan said and smiled at her.

.....

Ye Xin gazed at him and passed a wide smile to him. “We are the fastest couple, who confessed and admitted our feelings for each other in merely a day,” Ye Xin remarked.

“Yes,” Xiwan said. Because of Ye Xin, he felt better and even has forgotten his sickness. He felt rejuvenated just by her presence.

“Ahh, I almost forgot that you are sick. I heard that you took only soup for dinner and breakfast. You must be feeling hungry,” Ye Xin said out of concern.

“I am hungry,” Xiwan admitted it. “Did you drink rice wine? I am getting its scent,” he said.

Ye Xin covered her mouth quickly with her palm. “Forgive me. I had a few drinks with Lin Jiao,” she said while keeping her hand over her mouth.

“Ye Xin is a bold woman. I like it. Hardly women from the noble class enjoy this way,” Xiwan asserted. Ye Xin felt a little better, and she slowly lowered her hand when he grasped her hand.

“Ye Xin, I will never leave this hand. I have always been alone. I will come to see your parents tomorrow. I cannot lose a woman like you,” Xiwan pronounced and gazed at her hand.

Ye Xin blushed to hear his words. “First get fully recovered,” she said.

“I will be fine and healthy by tomorrow,” Xiwan confidently said.

“I will wait for you to come. Come in the evening. Since at that time, my father returns from the work,” Ye Xin opined. Xiwan agreed to her.

“I am bringing food for you. Wait for a few minutes,” Ye Xin tried to get up when Xiwan asked her to remain seated. She arched her eyebrow, looking at him in bewilderment.

“Let’s talk more. I would like to know more about you,” Xiwan said while keeping a smile on his lips. His face was no longer pale.

“I would also like to know more about you. But you must eat healthy food. I am also famished and will eat along with you,” Ye Xin asserted. Xiwan immediately agreed to it and called in a servant. He did not let Ye Xin leave and ordered the servant to bring meals for both of them.

“Lin Jiao has been home since late noon?!” Yongyi asked the servant with an astonished look.

“Yes, Young Master. Miss Lin returned early today and she looked upset. She did not either take her lunch meal,” the servant replied. Yongyi was confused to hear about it and decided to see Lin Jiao. He went to her room and heard from her personal attendant that she was sleeping.

Strange! Lin Jiao hardly slept in the daytime. “Did she look sick?” Yongyi asked.

“No, Young Master. Miss Lin looked upset though,” she answered.

“Tell me when she wakes up,” Yongyi stated and left for his room.

Lin Jiao heard her brother’s voice from inside her room and tightly pulled the blanket around her. She wanted to cry, but tears were not coming out of her eyes. Mingquan reprimanded her and she felt pretty bad because of it.

“Why am I feeling bad? The Fourth Prince is not either a part of my life,” Lin Jiao murmured. The strange beats of her heart again started to trouble her and she placed her hand on her chest. “It is good that he will not come here to see me. I will enjoy my life as long as I want to. Who is he to force me to marry him?” She muttered and lowered her hand.

Those words did not come from her heart. It was the anger inside which was ready to burst out.

‘But His Highness was right. You are not supposed to drink rice wine too much. It will affect your health in the long run.’ Her inner voice spoke to her and then asked her if she would really not see Mingquan ever again.

“I won’t,” Lin Jiao pledged to herself. She did not pay heed to her inner voice and reminded herself how Mingquan wanted to control her, which she would not let happen. “He is worse than Bai Jue. He got angry at me. I waited for him for hours,” she said and pouted her lips. Tears had finally welled up in her eyes and she was on the verge of crying. But before that could happen, she tightly shut her eyes. She tried to get some sleep as she started having a headache.
