Chapter 507: I’ll Definitely Obey The Empress

Meeting the Dowager Duchess’s benevolent gaze, Madam Lin hesitated for a while before nodding. “It’s been a while, Madam!”

The Dowager Duchess’s eyes were a little wet as she patted her hand, nodding repeatedly. “I’m just glad that you’re back.”

Madam Lin wanted to explain that she had returned to give Weiwei away, but seeing the old woman’s uncontained excitement, she sighed secretly and said nothing.

Lu Liangwei helped Aunt Lan into the carriage as well.

Although the two seniors were still strong and healthy, they were already old and not suited for riding.

However, the carriage was not very spacious. It was alright if two people sat in it, but it would be too crowded for four.

Before Aunt Lan could refuse, Lu Liangwei said, “I’ve taken the carriage all this way, and I’ve been thinking of riding a horse and getting some fresh air. Now that you and Grandmother are here to keep Mother company, I can be at ease riding a horse.” With that, she jumped off the carriage.

Her feet had just touched the ground when a strong arm reached out and supported her.

“Why are you so hasty? What if you get hurt?” A man’s low and gentle reprimanding voice sounded in Lu Liangwei’s ear.

Blushing, she turned her head and met the man’s enigmatic eyes, explaining reflexively, “It’s not that high. Nothing will happen.”

Long Yang frowned at her nonchalance. He wanted to scold her a bit more, but he gave up the thought eventually.

Holding her arm, he glanced at her somewhat resignedly. “You want to ride a horse?”

“Yes.” Lu Liangwei nodded and asked, “Can I?”

Long Yang was amused by her cautious behavior, and the corners of his mouth lifted. “Of course.” He then stretched out his palm toward her and said, “Come with me.”

At the sight of his broad yet slender palm, Lu Liangwei hesitated. She looked around quickly, and when she saw that nobody was looking in their direction, she put her hand in his. “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Enveloping her fair and delicate hand in his palm, Long Yang was about to take a step forward when he heard her words. He paused and turned to look at her, a ghost of a smile in his eyes. “You’re welcome, Second Miss Lu.”

Lu Liangwei felt a little sheepish at his teasing tone.

There was a pleased look in Long Yang’s eyes when he saw that he had made her speechless. He squeezed her soft fingers, his mood brightening immensely.

As Lu Liangwei felt the thin calluses on his fingers scraping against her hand, she could not help her body from heating up.

She wanted to withdraw her hand, but the moment she moved, his grip on her tightened, and she could only give up.

Lu Hetian was currently dedicating his full attention to Madam Lin and did not even notice that Long Yang was openly holding his daughter’s hand right under his nose.

When Long Yang saw that Lu Liangwei did not refuse him and was, in fact, acting very meek, the delight in his eyes deepened.

Before he helped her onto her horse, his gaze fell on her soft, rosy lips. His eyes darkening, he suddenly lifted his sleeve to hide them from surrounding viewers, leaned down, and planted a swift peck on her lips.

Lu Liangwei was stunned and unable to react at first, but she managed to hear him say in a rather relieved tone, “Weiwei…” He then stroked her head with his large hand and said happily, “I’m glad that you’re alright!”

Blinking, Lu Liangwei came back to her senses and spotted the dark circles under his eyes. Her fingers suddenly grabbed the front of his clothes, and with a frown, she whispered, “I’m sorry for making you worry, Your Majesty. When you get back, you must have a good rest, alright?”

Watching her exhorting him so seriously, the smile on Long Yang’s lips widened. “I’ll definitely obey the Empress’s decree!”

Lu Liangwei blushed furiously and she shot him a look of annoyance. “I’m serious.”

Long Yang’s fingers brushed against her rosy cheek, and he said with a smile, “So am I. I’ll be very obedient to the Empress.”

Lu Liangwei’s heart thumped and her fingers curled inward, her heartbeat suddenly accelerating.

After a long moment, she stared at him crossly. “I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”

Long Yang gazed at her intently. He loved it when she was like this.

How could there be such an adorable girl in the world?

However, seeing that she was already getting annoyed, he stopped teasing her and helped her onto the horse, then said in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely have a good rest. I still have to marry you and welcome you into the palace tomorrow.”

Lu Liangwei’s eyelashes quivered at his words, and her hands tightened their grip on the reins. Not daring to meet his gaze, she nodded hastily. “Of course.”

Seeing this, Long Yang beamed and mounted another horse.

Looking at his master and Second Miss Lu riding side by side in front of them, Chu Yi thought to himself in astonishment, ‘Master’s usually so quiet. I never expected him to be such a flirt!’

He clearly saw Second Miss Lu blushing.

He could not help glancing at Lu Hetian, who was next to the carriage, and saw that he had not noticed that Long Yang had just flirted with his precious daughter. A sense of admiration for Long Yang rose in his heart.

To act so fearlessly under his father-in-law’s nose; Master was indeed the greatest in all the lands!

He could not help raising an elbow and nudging Chu Qi beside him. “Wow, did you see that?”

Chu Qi glanced at him coolly, his sword in his arms. “See what?”

Chu Yi held both his thumbs up and pressed them together. “Just now, Master and Second Miss Lu were… You didn’t see it?”

“I didn’t.” Chu Qi shook his head.

Chu Yi was in disbelief. “How come?”

Chu Qi shot him a glance, then suddenly raised his voice and called out, “Mas—”

Chu Yi jumped in shock and hurriedly leaned over to cover his mouth. “You little brat, you can’t sell me out.”

If Master knew that he had spied on him kissing Second Miss Lu, his life would be over.

Chu Qi glanced at him carelessly, neither agreeing nor refusing.
