Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

Chapter 675 To hold my baby in my hands



675  To hold my baby in my hands Several days had passed and Huang Xi grew closer to Xiaolian. As usual, he went to see Xiaolian but not to learn pottery. He had already gifted two bowls which he made with his hands. Though, the art on them was done by Xiaolian. However, through the maidservant in the manor, he found out Xiaolian was in the royal garden.

Huang Xi thought to wait for a while. But that thought quickly changed and he decided to go to the garden. It took him fifteen minutes to search Xiaolian. One of the royal gardeners told Huang Xi about Xiaolian's location. She was present in the open field surrounded by the maple trees.

Huang Xi saw how Xiaolian had her gaze focused on a maple tree. The sky was cloudy today and the cold air felt strong today. Huang Xi went close to Xiaolian and saw her eyes were on the two birds sitting on a thick branch of the tree. The bird's head was slightly blackish and the body was of royal teal color. If anyone would glance at those birds, it would appear a pair of couple to them.

Xiaolian was so engrossed in the sight of those birds that she didn't realize Huang Xi was standing next to her.

Huang Xi dropped his eyes from the birds to Xiaolian and looked at her side face. It looked different to her. A bit shinier and the way her eye would open and close, did something strange in his heart. The loose tendrils of her hair when blowing with the breeze, blocked the way to her face but it made her look more mesmerizing in his eyes.

The two birds opened their wings and flew in the open air which made Xiaolian smile. Finally, she turned and was stunned to see Huang Xi before him.

"Commander Huang Xi," she whispered and he came out of his thoughts.

She smiled at him and asked when he came.

"A moment ago," Huang Xi replied.

"Commander Huang Xi did not call my name," Xiaolian asserted.

"Princess Xiaolian was busy watching the birds," Huang Xi replied.

"Did Commander Huang Xi see them too? They looked beautiful. They were a pair," Xiaolian said and again smiled.

That smile made Huang Xi's heart flutter and he promptly placed his hand on his chest. 'No, I should not be feeling this,' he thought and blinked.

Xiaolian noticed his strange reaction and went close to him. "What happened? Commander Huang Xi seems lost," she said and he gazed at her. His heart beat faster and he immediately stepped back.

"I-I have to leave," Huang Xi stuttered and ran out of her sight. Xiaolian got confused and wondered if he was alright.

Huang Xi reached the main palace and stopped at a corridor. He rested his hand on the wooden pillar next to him. "This cannot happen," he mumbled. He realized he forgot to give what his mother had sent for Xiaolian. His mother knew how Xiaolian helped Huang Xi in making those beautiful bowls and wanted to thank her with her small gesture of gifting.

"Aish!" Huang Xi did not want to face Xiaolian anymore. It was a strong sensation and it scared him. He did not want this feeling, not with a princess, at least. After what happened with Ai Fen, he had fear Xiaolian might see him the same way.

"No. This was an accident," Huang Xi told himself.

"What was an accident?" Lóng Wei's voice fell into Huang Xi's ears.

"Prince Lóng Wei!" Huang Xi exclaimed and turned to look at him. He saw the baby clothes in Lóng 09:40

Wei's hands and asked about them.

"Oh, I have asked the royal tailor to stitch them. If we will have a baby girl, then she will wear these pair of clothes," Lóng Wei said, pointing at the clothes on the top, "and if we have a baby boy, then the lower ones. They are beautiful, right?"

Huang Xi was astonished to see this side of Lóng Wei. He was already preparing everything. Wasn't that too soon? Huang Xi asked Lóng Wei.

"Oh, it is. But I am unable to stop myself from doing all these things. These are only the initial designs of clothes," Lóng Wei said. "You don't know how excited I am. I am so eager to hold my baby in my hands and give my baby so much love. I am also wondering what names should we select," he asserted.

"Prince Lóng Wei has become a family man. I am so glad to see this side of his. These clothes are beautiful. I am also excited to see Prince Lóng Wei's baby. Prince Lóng Wei must tell his baby I am his best uncle," Huang Xi stated.

"Of course, I will," Lóng Wei said. "I always wanted to have a family of my own. Now, all this is happening which makes me emotional sometimes. I conquered a tough phase of my life. I will become the person Yuze wanted me to be," he said with a bright smile.

"His Highness has become that person," Huang Xi said. "Prince Lóng Wei truly deserved this life," he added.

"Thank you, Huang Xi," Lóng Wei said and asked him if he would tell him what accident he was talking about.

"It was nothing, Your Highness," Huang Xi said.

"You should not hide from me," Lóng Wei insisted him to tell him the truth.

"My heart fluttered strongly," Huang Xi asserted.

"What? Around Xiaolian?" Lóng Wei deduced himself.

"How does His Highness know? Huang Xi inquired.

"You always are around her," Lóng Wei stated, "it is not tough to guess."

"It happened out of the blue. I don't want this feeling. I hate it," Huang Xi said.

"Ayee! Don't do that. Why do you hate it? You always wanted to fall in love and then get married to that woman," Lóng Wei reminded him.

"That was before–"

Lóng Wei shut him down. "Huang Xi, everyone is different. Ai Fen is different and Xiaolian is different. Well, I can only advise you. Rest is up to you," he stated.
