CHAPTER FORTY TWO

Li Jie felt his chest tighten up, he leaned against the door as his legs buckled.

Marriage? His son was getting married?

"So you and him are serious about this?" He asked making his son frown.

"If he wasn't serious he wouldn't have waited eight years for me....aren't you happy?"

Happy? Why should he be happy? His son was going to be a wife!

"So....you are his wife?"

"Does it matter?"

Li Jie grimaced, the pain his son might be going through at the hands of that crowned Prince.

"I will kill him, he can't do this to you"

Li Xiwang was confused.

"What are you talking about?"

"My poor son, are you in pain? Do you need a warm bath?"

Li Xiwang gasped as heat spread to his face.

"Father....don't say stuff like that"

"Why? Are you saying he hasn't touched you? Let me see"

"Father! See what? Come let's go make lanterns the others are waiting for us"
