Refused To Let Her Go

Yaoyao said with slight exasperation when she saw this, “Why are you sitting so far away from me?”

“I’m not. I just feel that it’s best for me to be careful now that you’re pregnant,” Yuan You said seriously.

Qi Heng burst out laughing when he saw how careful Yuan You was being.

Yuan You’s face reddened when she heard him laughing. She turned back to glare at him. “What are you laughing about?”

“I’m not laughing at you,” Qi Heng said seriously as he immediately stopped laughing.

Lu Liangwei said with a smile, “Stop teasing Youyou, Qi Heng. Men should be gentlemanly or no ladies would be willing to marry you.”

Qi Heng immediately replied seriously when he heard this, “I’ll remember your teaching, Your Highness.”

“Alright. You can stop with the pretense.” Lu Liangwei shook her head as she laughed.

“Aunt Hexin, carry me.” It was then that Chu Xin, who was playing on Chu Qi’s lap, turned to ask for a hug from Hexin after getting tired of playing with the wooden horse her father made for her.

Hexin reached out to carry Chu Xin when she heard the request.

However, she had not even touched Chu Xin when Long Yin grabbed her hand. He said to Chu Xin, “Xin’er, come over here. I’ll carry you.”

Chu Xin pouted and said in an adorable voice, “I don’t want you. I want Aunt Hexin to carry me.” She seemed to remember something as she tilted her little head and asked curiously, “What game have you been playing these two days, Uncle Long Yin? I wanted to go play with both of you but Grandmother wouldn’t let me.”

It did not sound like much as it was just the innocent words of a while, but Hexin still blushed furiously after hearing her words. She clenched her handkerchief, not knowing what to say in reply.

Long Yin was stunned as well, but he quickly snapped out of it. He lifted his hand to rub Chu Xin’s little head and said in a gentle voice, “Your Aunt Hexin is new here and doesn’t know this place well. I had to bring her around to familiarize herself here. Once your Aunt Hexin has gotten to know the Palace, I’ll bring you around for some fun.”

Realization dawned upon Chu Xin when she heard the explanation. “You’re right.” She waved at Hexin while she spoke. “Aunt Hexin, please carry me. I know the Palace very well, I can bring you around for some fun too.”

Hexin burst out laughing and her embarrassment vanished. “Alright.”

This time, Long Yin did not stop her from carrying Chu Xin.

He was afraid the playful Chu Xin would say something ‘innocent’ again and make Hexin uncomfortable.

However, once Hexin held Chu Xin in her arms, Long Yin placed his hand behind Hexin considerately to hold her.

Lu Liangwei felt happy to see how close both of them were.

It was a good thing for Yin’er to care for Hexin so well. They would definitely have a close relationship and be happy together always.

Ji’er noticed Hexin’s forehead covered in sweat after carrying Chu Xin for a while. She knew that Hexin must have been exhausted from the past few days and said considerately, “You should sit down, Xinxin. Xin’er may only be three, but she is quite heavy. Big Bro, help Xinxin take her seat.”

Long Yin noticed Hexin was getting a little tired from carrying Chu Xin, but he was worried about being too forward with Hexin, which would make her feel awkward, so he forced himself to stay quiet about it.

When he heard Ji’er’s words, he quickly helped Hexin take a seat at the side.

Hexin was secretly relieved.

She would have no problem holding Chu Xin on a usual day, but Long Yin refused to let her go last night and she ended up losing an entire night’s sleep. Her knees were beginning to buckle after standing and carrying Chu Xin.

It was already time for lunch when Long Yang returned.

Lu Liangwei got busy instructing the servants to serve up the dishes and start the lunch.

Yuan You was astonished once more when Long Yang entered.

She said to Hexin in a whisper, “I’ve already thought Crown Prince Long was a rare, handsome specimen in this world, but to think His Majesty is even more good-looking.” There was a stunned look in her eye as she spoke. Wow, she had seen two legendary characters today. She no longer had any regrets in this world.

When she saw Long Yang standing next to Lu Liangwei, she could feel a really strong blow to her fragile heart.

What a gorgeous-looking pair who was so in love with each other.

She would be very willing to be a palace maid for the rest of her life if she could keep looking at them.

Hexin was afraid Yuan You would say something inappropriate, so she quickly stuffed Yuan You’s mouth with a snack. “You should eat more food and talk less.”
