Chapter 143 - Getting On My Nerves

Sheng Li's sleep broke as the horse cart was running through a rough path, full of pebbles. He saw Ying Lili was sleeping, her head was on his lap and also her fingers were intertwined with his. A tiny smile formed on his lips. He tucked the hair strands which were on Ying Lili's face.

Caressing her left cheek with the back of his palm, Sheng Li murmured, "You made me suffer the entire night. You could have confessed then I would not have been angry. But now my mood is lightened."

Sheng Li moved his hand and pulled down slightly the upper robe which Ying Lili had worn. "Why were you showing your neck to him? You should be happy that I did not take his eyes out. He is really a shameless man. Because of him, my entire night was ruined," Sheng Li murmured and pulled up the robe, thus covering Ying Lili's neck.

The horse cart stopped moving. Sheng Li looked at the door when it was opened by Wang Hao. He lowered his eyes as he saw the Crown Princess was lying down on the lap of the Crown Prince.

"Where are we?" Sheng Li asked Wang Hao.

"Your highness, just a few more miles then we will be in the Southern Province. We are taking a rest here for an hour and then we will resume the journey," Wang Hao informed the Crown Prince.

"Okay," Sheng Li replied. "I will be outside in a while," Sheng Li stated. Wang Hao nodded and shut the doors without making any noise.

Ying Lili woke up and found herself in Sheng Li's lap. She sat up immediately and apologized to Sheng Li. "Why are you sorry?" Sheng Li asked.

He then continued, "Yes, it was uncomfortable! That's why I have decided something." "What have you decided?" Ying Lili was baffled.

"Let me sleep like that later. I mean for the remaining journey. Because of someone, I was not able to sleep last night," Sheng Li proclaimed.

"That was your mistake," Ying Lili snapped at him.

"What?" a chuckle escaped Sheng Li's mouth. He saw Ying Lili had moved towards the door to go out when he caught her arm and pinned her down on the cart's floor. "What are you doing? Someone will see," Ying Lili complained.

"I did not do anything that needed to be seen," Sheng Li stated. "So, I get it that last night I made a mistake by not kissing you back
