Budding Lotus — II

When Liang XingHui was out of the room to god knew where, Li Xinyuan turned his head and stood up, staring at his feet intently.

For some reason, the carpet on the floor looked so damn good right now.

The surgeon blinked his eyes, silence prevailing between them as he spoke in a low voice, greeting the Crown Prince as he did so.

"This lowly one greets Your Highness the Crown Prince." Truthfully, Li Xinyuan didn't know what else to say. The marriage was decided, the edict had been declared and he himself had accepted the 'reward'.

What else was there to say?

Liu Mingyun didn't know what to say. All he wanted was to have Li Xinyuan as a friend he could confide in, but now all of a sudden they were betrothed to each other.

Slowly walking towards Li Xinyuan, the Crown Prince looked at his bowing form and felt a strange, nameless emotion bubbling in his heart as he sat down where his Lord Father was seated before.
