"You have promised my father you would not let me get harmed. If you will punish me, then you break the promise to my father," Xiana opined.
"Well, I will not give you floggings," Licheng asserted.
"Then?" Xiana got confused. Was he again talking about getting a kiss from her? "We cannot kiss," she said, suppressing the anger inside her.
"Pardon me?" Licheng amusedly smiled at her. "I never thought of that. I cannot believe all you think is kissing me," he teased her.
"Hey! I never thought that. It was you that's why you are not letting me go. You found a way to bully me," Xiana asserted.
Licheng continued to smile at her use of words.
"I was meditating. Now, you have to meditate with me. If you won't do that, the next punishment will surely be the kiss since you suggested that to me," Licheng affirmed.
Xiana gazed at him in bewilderment. "You want me to meditate?" she arched her eyebrow at him.
