Bitter

Lei Wanxi returned to the Palace after completing his day's work. He was looking cheerful. He had his fan in his hand as he was fanning himself. He reached his chamber. Removing his overcoat, he handed it to the maidservant.

She took backward steps while Lei Wanxi sat down on the chaise. He continued to fan himself when the maidservant told him that she would fan him.

"No need. Did Zhu Lin come here?" He asked her.

"No, Your Highness," she answered him.

Zhu Lin entered the chamber, astonishing him. The maidservant left the chamber, giving them privacy.

"Zhu Lin, were you waiting for me?" Lei Wanxi asked with a grin and gestured to her to sit beside him. Zhu Lin sat down on the chaise beside Lei Wanxi when he quickly rested his head on her lap.

"Did you miss me?" He asked her and closed the fan in his hand.

"No. I did not miss the Prince," she answered.
