Chapter 1243: A Beauty Was Presenting Herself To Him
Lu Liangwei saw the fatigue on his face. There was so much she planned to say to him when he returned, but the sight of him convinced her to save the talk for another day. “I can’t sleep if you aren’t back yet.”
“I’m here to accompany you now.” Long Yang smiled and took off his outer robe.
Long Yang had just laid down in bed when Lu Liangwei nuzzled against his arms, sticking close to him.
There was a huge difference in temperature between morning and night at the frontier—it was freezing cold at night.
Even though their tent was the best the army camp could offer, Lu Liangwei still stuck close to him out of habit to keep warm.
Long Yang pecked her on the forehead and hugged her tight in his arms. His thinly calloused fingers gently brushed against her arm. “Hurry up and sleep. We need to begin our journey back to the imperial capital early tomorrow.”
“Alright,” Lu Liangwei replied obediently. She knew that he did not get much rest today. There were various reports he needed to update himself with, and there was also the matter of rewarding and punishing the soldiers, which he had to handle personally.
As they had to return to the imperial capital the very next day, his only option was to finish everything he needed to do in one day.
She could only imagine how tired he must be.
As expected, it was not long before she could hear the man’s steady, rhythmic breathing.
His Majesty had fallen asleep.
Lu Liangwei felt quite safe and secure as she listened to his breathing; she closed her eyes as well.
It was a dreamless night.
The next day, Long Yang woke up the moment daylight broke. He did not awaken Weiwei when he saw that she was still sleeping.
He put on his clothes and exited the tent.
There was still some follow-up work that required his attention.
By the time Lu Liangwei woke up, Long Yang was done with his tasks.
“Why didn’t you wake me up, Your Majesty?” She quickly got dressed when she saw how late it was.
Long Yang passed her dress to her.
“There’s nothing much for you to do around here even if you did wake up, so I thought it’s best to let you sleep a little longer,” he said gently as he reached out to help her tie her belt.
Lu Liangwei inched closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. She then gave him a peck on his lips.
A beauty was presenting herself to him, so Long Yang attempted to deepen the kiss. However, it was right at that exact moment when Zhao Qian’s voice was heard.
“Your Majesty, Your Highness, Heir Presumptive Lu is here.”
Lu Liangwei quickly pushed the man’s arms away. “Big Brother is here.”
Long Yang had no choice but to let go of her. He held her hand and they walked out of the tent.
Lu Tingchen was talking to Zhao Qian outside. When he saw the two of them walking out intimately, he gave a light cough and said to Long Yang, “Your Majesty, I’d like to speak to Weiwei.”
“Go ahead.” Long Yang let go of Lu Liangwei’s hand.
Lu Liangwei looked at Lu Tingchen curiously.
Lu Tingchen did not say anything, but walked ahead.
Lu Liangwei had no choice but to say to Long Yang, “Go ahead and have breakfast first, Your Majesty. I’d like to hear what my big brother has to say to me.”
“Alright.” Long Yang nodded.
Lu Liangwei quickly followed Lu Tingchen in the direction he was walking.
Lu Tingchen finally stopped walking when they arrived at a spot with no one else around. He turned back and fixed Lu Liangwei with a serious look.
Lu Liangwei could not help but feel slightly nervous when her big brother stared at her that way. She thought something serious must have happened and asked anxiously, “Big Brother, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”
She had just said this when Lu Tingchen suddenly took a step forward and grabbed her by the shoulders. “Weiwei…”
Lu Liangwei blinked and her heart sank when she saw her big brother acting this way. “What’s the problem?”
“How have I always treated you?” Lu Tingchen lowered his head and looked at her earnestly.
“You’re so good to me that I can have no complaints,” Lu Liangwei replied, equally seriously.
Lu Tingchen was secretly relieved. “That means you wouldn’t object to helping me out, right?”
Lu Liangwei was also relieved to hear this. “Of course, I would never hesitate to help you. What do you need my help for, Big Brother?”
