1555 If You Can No Longer Carry Me, I’ll Hold Your Hand Instead
Lu Liangwei looked at him questioningly. She did not believe any of his words.
“The Palace is huge. If we want to spend time together alone, why would we need to go all the way to Tianzhu Mountain?”
“Aren’t you tired of always staying in the Palace after all these years?” Long Yang said. The horse-drawn carriage stopped at the same time, so he got up and held Lu Liangwei’s hand as they got out of the carriage.
Lu Liangwei wanted to jump down from the shaft, but the man’s arm had already reached out to her and he carried her off the carriage.
As she looked at the man’s gentle eyes, Lu Liangwei’s heart suddenly softened.
No matter how old she was, this man had always treated her like a fragile little girl to dote on and protect.
He had even made it a habit to carry her when it came to something as normal as getting on and off a carriage.
Lu Liangwei’s discontent toward him for the past two days suddenly disappeared at the thought of this man treating her so well the same way for more than ten years.
She decided to let it go. He could have his way however he wanted.
There were only a few decades in a person’s life and time would pass very soon. It was better to live a more carefree life while they were still young.
Lu Liangwei still felt a little sore while she tried to convince herself of this, and her waist reminded her of how he had overindulged himself for the past two days.
When Long Yang saw her both frown and smile, he paused before saying gently, “I can still carry you now while I’m young. In another few more decades, I won’t have the stamina to do so even if I wanted to.”
Lu Liangwei’s heart tightened when she heard this.
Even though she constantly talked about his age, she was actually quite concerned about him.
When she heard his words, she suddenly felt sad and could not help reaching out to hug him around the neck. “It’s okay. If you can no longer carry me, I’ll hold your hand instead.”
Long Yang looked at her but said nothing. All he did was press her head into his embrace.
A long moment passed before he let go of her and took her hand instead. “Let’s go.”
“Alright.” Lu Liangwei leaned against him. It felt sweet to see his strong hands hold onto hers so tightly.
After they had settled themselves into the temporary imperial residence, Long Yang wanted to take Lu Liangwei to enjoy the hot springs.
Lu Liangwei said a little nervously, “We don’t need to be so anxious to go there. We’ve just arrived and I want to look around first.” It was easy to take this the wrong way if they were heading to the hot springs immediately. It was fine if she was there alone, but they were here together.
However, Long Yang was puzzled when he heard this. “We’re here for the hot springs and it won’t be too late to walk around after we’ve enjoyed a soak. Besides…” He paused before leaning in close to her. “Aren’t you feeling tired and sore? The water from the hot springs would help you relax your body.”
Lu Liangwei, “…”
Contrary to Lu Liangwei’s expectations, Long Yang purely wanted her to enjoy the hot springs.
Steam wafted everywhere in the huge pool of the hot spring. Lu Liangwei took off her clothes and leaned against the side of the pool with her back exposed.
Long Yang’s slender fingers pressed onto the back of her waist as he helped her relieve the tension in her muscles.
Her snow-white skin looked even more tender against the white-greyish floor tiles. The silhouette of her slender legs, which were smooth and exquisite, could be seen from within the pool as it emanated their temptation.
Long Yang almost lost control of himself when he saw how luscious she looked. However, the thought of her being uncomfortable made him decide to suppress his excitement.
If he could not have her today, there was always tomorrow.
He was not in a hurry to return, anyway.
They could stay here for a few more days.
At this thought, he stopped his imagination running wild and focused on giving her a massage.
Lu Liangwei was so comfortable from his massage that she was about to doze off.
When she realized he had stopped massaging her, her eyes opened slightly and she turned to glance at him. When she saw his forehead beaded with sweat, she was puzzled. “Why are you feeling so hot? You’re sweating.”
“The heat from the spring is too strong.” Long Yang leaned against the pool and glanced at her as he spoke in an exceptionally husky voice.
