She mistook my lips for roller snacks

Li Jie and Mei jingjing sat on the soft grass both trying to dry their hair while staring into the night sky as the stars twinkled brightly.

Mei jingjing let out a sigh. "Everything just happened so fast I'm so confused."

"About what?"

"Getting married, suddenly becoming your protector." she felt her birthmark. "The Queen told me my birth sign shows I'm your guardian, this wasn't the dreams I had."

No wonder he was drawn to her birthmark, was this the reason for their marriage? "What dreams did you have?"

She smiled. "I dreamt of choosing my own life partner, someone whom I'm in love with and spending the rest of my life living peacefully with that special person."

He stared at her, she suddenly sighed. "But that isn't possible now is it?"

Li Jie had no idea how to respond to that, he looked ahead.

"If you're destined to be with someone, it is going to happen no matter what circumstance you're in, your faith has been joined from the start and nothing can change that, Even if you're married."

Mei jingjing stared at him in a daze, did those words come out from master Li Jie's mouth?,he noticed her staring and frowned.

"What?"

She smiled. "Nothing." She turned away from him and brought out her flute from inside her dress, she turned to look at him.

"I hope you don't mind me playing this, I love to play the flute."

He stared at her flute in surprise, she sighed. "Due to the commotion, I haven't played it in a while so even if you refused, I'd still play it."

He shook his head hopelessly at her but a small smile formed on his lips. "I don't mind at all."

She began to play her flute leaving Li Jie amused even though he didn't show it, he's missed her tune actually.

He watched her play with twinkling eyes, he normally watches her from afar but look now, she's right beside him.

Mei jingjing played the flute for what felt like hours when she felt something resting on her shoulders, she turned to see Li Jie resting his head on her shoulder, his long wet hair covering his face, he's asleep?

She felt uncomfortable with his head on her shoulder but didn't want to wake him either, they had a long journey tomorrow so it's best if he got some sleep.

She played to the point she also fell asleep resting her head on his as well.

At Lijiang kingdom, the sky had darkened and the Queen stared out through the terrace, she could feel the beasts close by, the street were empty and only the sound of breeze rustling the tree's were heard.

She was prepared for what to come.

.........

The sun had risen, Mei jingjing felt the cold air on her but was replaced by a sudden warmth she snuggled close to it with a smile.

Li Jie stared at her sleepy face, she looked so peaceful and she smiled suddenly, he wondered what she was dreaming about that made her smile like that.

The breeze fluttered her long hair leaving a strand of her long hair on her face,she shivered and wrapped her arms around him hugging him tight mistaken him for a warm pillow.

Li Jie tensed up immediately, he gave a slight cough and tried to free himself from her hold but she wouldn't let go hugging him even tighter pressing her body against his.

As a man himself, he couldn't stop his body from reacting to that, her body was warm and soft and she buried her head in his chest, he could feel his body heat up in response.

This woman!, what kind of torture was she making him go through, he's hardly felt this way before except for the last time his annoying so called brother brought maidens to the house and he was actually taking by one of them but the one he felt right now was much more worse.

She tilted her head up a bit and his gaze landed on her small pink lips, Someone save him from this woman!, he doesn't want to touch her at all but his body seemed to be doing the opposite as his eyes still gazed on her tempting lips, he brought his head down to hers making his lips brush through hers, his eyes closed on it's own as he enjoyed the feeling of her soft lips, he felt her shiver but he couldn't make out if it was the cold or cause of his lips, he wanted to kiss her so bad but allowed his lips to constantly brush through her small pink lips.

Mei jingjing on the other hand was in her dream land, in her dream she was actually rubbing her lips on a soft smooth sweet roller snack, she even smiled having no idea she was actually having a little intimacy with her husband whom she's forbidden herself not to touch.

Li Jie nearly lost control almost kissing her deeply when there was a sudden rustling of leaves driving him out of his thoughts.

Mei jingjing released him and turned the other way round, Li Jie immediately got to his feet moving away from her, what the hell was he about to do with her?

He has to keep his distance from that wife of his or else who knows what he might just do?.

Weng Lie showed up, he glanced at Li Jie before averting his gaze to the sleeping beauty.

"We have to start moving now, you need to wake her up."

Weng Lie knew he wasn't going to get an answer from him and walked out instead.

Li Jie really needed a cold shower, how was she able to turn him on without even doing a thing?.

He used his powers to pluck a flower and tickled Mei jingjing with it, her eyes slowly flutter open meeting Li Jie's angelic face.

"You've slept enough, we need to start moving." He tried to keep his tone indifferent.

Mei jingjing sat upright stretching her limbs before glaring at Li Jie.

"You're such a dream spoiler, you Know I almost got the chance to taste some sweet roller snacks but you ruined it with your unwanted disturbance." She got to her feet and walked out feeling annoyed.

Li Jie on the other hand was dumbfounded, his wife mistook his lips for some roller snacks?

At Lijiang kingdom, the Queen sat on the throne with the clansmen staring at her.

"We think it's time to get the King crowned."

Queen Jiaying gazed at them. "The crown prince isn't here at the moment, he's out with my son to find solutions."

"Why send them both? What if they don't make it?

Queen Jiaying smiled. "My boys are strong, they'll definitely make me proud."

The room was filled with a sudden chill making the Queen gasped as cold air rushed through her.

"He's here." She breathed out
