Chapter 381: Sudden Love Confession

He seemed to have just finished cleaning up as well. He had changed into a light-green wide robe, and there were still traces of moisture on his body.

“I’ll see you back home,” Long Yang said softly as he walked toward her and took the folded dress from her hand.

“I can carry that myself…” Lu Liangwei wanted to stop him. It was the dirty dress she had just changed out of and it smelt completely of sweat.

However, Long Yang did not seem to mind as he forcefully snatched the garments from her. He held one of her petite hands and headed outdoors. “Let’s go.”

Lu Liangwei could only go with the flow when she saw this.

Nevertheless, she was a little puzzled as to why he wanted to see her home now, but did not ask further.

When Long Yang saw that she was staying silent, he was concerned about what she was thinking and could not stop himself from explaining, “There was an urgent message from the capital. I need to return soon. I’ll come back to see you again once I have the time.”

Lu Liangwei’s eyes curved like two crescent moons when she heard this. “Alright.”

Long Yang paused. He should have known that this girl was hoping he would quickly head home. How could he have thought that she was unwilling to part with him?

Even so, he did not mind at all. He squeezed her fingers.

When they arrived at the Lu family holiday home and he had escorted Lu Liangwei back to her room, Long Yang caressed her cheek and reminded her, “Take care of yourself, okay?”

“Alright,” Lu Liangwei nodded.

Seeing that he was about to leave, she suddenly grabbed his sleeve. She looked quietly at him with her beautiful, glittering eyes. “Your humble servant asks that you take care too.”

Long Yang paused and raised an eyebrow. “Your humble servant?”

Lu Liangwei bit her lips and under his intense gaze, she had no choice but to change her choice of words. “You need to take care of yourself too.”

Long Yang smiled with satisfaction as he rubbed her head. His eyes lowered as he looked at his sleeve.

Lu Liangwei noticed this and quickly released her hand. She turned away slightly, slightly regretting her actions.

Long Yang’s lips curved upward as he said adoringly, “I’ll be off now.”

Lu Liangwei gave this some thought and turned toward him again. “Alright, you… You should be careful on the way.”

Long Yang nodded and turned to leave.

He took a few steps before suddenly stopping again.

When Lu Liangwei saw this, she gave him a puzzled look. “What’s wrong?”

Long Yang turned toward her, staring at her with his deep eyes. “I’ve forgotten something.”

“What?” Lu Liangwei’s mind was blank. Did he leave something of his here?

As she thought of this, she was about to lower her head to search for his handkerchief when the man suddenly approached her and grabbed her shoulders.

The next thing she knew, her face was lifted and the scent of the man’s clean fragrance dominated all her senses in an instant.

Lu Liangwei blinked. They had just kissed a while ago in the little forest.

Was this what he meant when he said he had forgotten something?

Long Yang looked at the blank and puzzled face of the young lady in his arms. He pondered for a moment and instantly decided against his initial intention as he chose to be content with things being this way for now. In the end, all he did was give her a kiss on the forehead and said in a husky tone, “The taste of you.”

Lu Liangwei’s heart trembled. She was a little afraid of looking into his passionately burning eyes.

Long Yang’s long fingers brushed across her tender, pink, petite face as he said in a low voice, “I might be leaving the capital and won’t be able to come back so soon. I’m worried… I will miss you on the road.”

The sudden love confession turned Lu Liangwei’s pretty face a bright shade of red as she blushed shyly.

She quickly collected her thoughts as something flashed in her mind. She asked, “You’re leaving the capital?”

Long Yang nodded.

However, there was bitter laughter in his heart. When did he become such a mushy person?

He was actually having this kind of conversation with her.

Regardless, he went ahead to give further explanation when he saw the concerned look in the young girl’s eyes. “I have a Royal Sister who was married off to Danjue in a political marriage during the reign of the late Emperor. There has been a political uprising at Danjue and my brother-in-law, who was an advocate for peace, has been killed. Fortunately, my Royal Sister and her child have been rescued by the spies I have secretly planted there. My Royal Sister has suffered a lot all these years and I would like to welcome them personally.”
