Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

"Do you mean for us to not get involved with this?" Long Yang frowned.

"Yes. None of us should get involved." Lu Liangwei nodded as she placed her hand over his. When she saw him still looking troubled and unhappy, she consoled him tenderly, "Our children are all grown up and they have their opinions and dreams. They won't grow up if they don't face obstacles in life. Let Ji'er face this herself."

Long Yang was silent for a while before his frown finally disappeared. "Alright. You're right. We'll let Ji'er face this herself. I won't get involved."

Lu Liangwei was relieved and she smiled. "It's getting late. Your Majesty should change and go to bed."

"Alright, you should join me." Long Yang smiled and got up to carry her in his arms.

South Conquering General Mansion.

Ji'er brought medicine to change for Chu Qi.

Chu Qi was unexpectedly cooperative. He took off his shirt to let her apply medicine on him.

Ji'er gave him a surprised look when she saw this. She had prepared a long speech, which was now unnecessary, to convince him.

Instead, her face burned up when he revealed his slender yet muscular body.

Chu Qi's body was not considered muscular, but it was not frail either. He was very tall and slender, and was considered to be lean. He had a great-looking waistline, which entwined to…

Ji'er's gaze fell onto his pants and she jumped. She seemed to realize something and quickly moved her eyes away.

Chu Qi was actually feeling self-conscious as well, but he knew the way she was. Once she decided on something, it would be difficult to change her mind. It was just putting medicine on him and since she insisted on helping out, he decided to let her trouble herself over it.

It was already late at night and all he wanted was to get her to leave as soon as possible, so he decided to tolerate this.

He coughed gently when he found her not doing anything for quite a while. He reminded her, "Ji'er, I would need to trouble you for your help."

"It's fine." Ji'er snapped out of it and quickly shook her head. She placed the medicine at the side of the bed and climbed to the side of the bed with one knee as she helped him remove the gauze.

He had hurt himself on the chest, which was why the gauze circled from the top of his shoulder to the bottom and circled back up again.

Ji'er had to remove his gauze first, which was why they ended up leaning in close to each other.

They began to feel uneasy as they could hear each other's breaths.

The more Ji'er got nervous, the more she fumbled. It took her a lot of difficulty and time to finally remove all the gauze.

By then, Chu Qi's forehead was covered in sweat.

"Why are you sweating so much? Are you very hot?" Ji'er was puzzled when she noticed this.

"Yes." Chu Qi mumbled in reply. He deeply felt that he had made a stupid decision as he looked at the girl so close to him.

Allowing Ji'er to apply medicine on him was torturing.

Even though he did not want to cross the line, he was still a normal man. When a girl was pressing close to him this way, it was difficult for him to ignore it.

It took a long time for Ji'er to finally be done applying the medicine. Chu Qi had also ended up sweating profusely all over.

When Ji'er saw this, she said, "I'll get some hot water and wipe you down. You'll sleep better this way."

"It's fine. It's getting late now. You should hurry up and go to bed," Chu Qi pushed her to leave hoarsely. All he wanted was to get her to leave quickly.

Ji'er could tell from his tone that he was getting impatient and her eyes turned dim. "Alright."

Chu Qi paused when he heard the listlessness in her voice, but did not say anything. All he did was put on his inner garment.

Ji'er cleaned up the medicine bottles and left.

Chu Qi sat on his bed as he went into a daze.

Just as he was about to lie down and rest, Ji'er knocked on the door again.

However, she did not enter this time, but stood outside the door and said, "Lil Qi, I left the water outside the door for you. Come on out and get it yourself. I'm going to turn in now."
