Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart



He lifted his head and saw Yaoyao and Lu Xue staring at both of them, wide-eyed.

Startled, Long Yin curled his fingers and knocked on the table. "Why aren't you taking more cards?"

Yaoyao and Lu Xue looked at each other and began giggling cheekily.

Long Yin frowned. "What's so funny?"

Lu Xue looked at the usually serious-looking Cousin Long Yin and could not help teasing him. "It's no wonder you're helping out Hexin. If I was a boy, I would want to take care of her as well."

Hexin blushed and felt her cheeks burn. She lowered her head to get more cards and was too embarrassed to raise her head.

Long Yin's eyes narrowed and shot a look at the tactless Lu Xue. His eyes darkened and he snapped, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Lu Xue was still a little afraid of Cousin Long Yin's sullen look. When she saw his expression darken, she shrunk closer to Yaoyao and changed her tone. "Just think of my words as gibberish. Don't be angry, Cousin Long Yin."

Yaoyao tried to help her out. "Xue'er was just joking with you. Can you not act so intimidatingly?" She paused before turning to Xue'er to say, "Actually, Royal Brother already has someone he likes, Xue'er. He only sees Xinxin as a younger sister."

Lu Xue looked at both of them with slight surprise. When she understood, she quickly apologized to Hexin. "I didn't mean anything, Xinxin. I was just kidding. I'm sorry…"

Hexin lifted her gaze to look at Lu Xue.

Lu Xue's face was unusually pale because she had been sickly for a long time. Even her lips were colorless. In addition to that, her face was petite and refined, easily making people feel protective of her.

"It's fine. It's nothing to worry about. There's no need to apologize," she smiled and said casually, but from the corner of her eyes, she noticed Long Yin's handsome face turn grim.

There was no smile on his handsome face and even his eyes looked frighteningly dark.

She glanced at Lu Xue, who was not aware of anything, and sighed quietly in her heart.

Lu Xue, oh, Lu Xue. The person in your cousin Long Yin's heart was you.

"Big Bro Long Yin, which card should I take out next?" Hexin showed her cards to Long Yin and managed to break the moody atmosphere in the room.

She wondered what was going through Long Yin's mind. Long Yin glanced at Lu Xue and eventually became less intimidating.

He lowered his head and looked at the careful girl. He sighed quietly. He reached out to rub her head and helped her pick out a few cards. He tossed the cards onto the table and explained to her how to play the cards properly. After that, he got up and said, "It's getting late. The three of you shouldn't be playing too late at night. You should turn in soon." With that, he turned to leave.

Hexin watched him walk away into the night. It was only when he was completely out of sight that she turned her gaze away.

Lu Xue put a hand on her chest and said, "Was Cousin Long Yin mad just now? He was scary!"

Hexin glanced at her. What a silly girl. Did she not notice that Long Yin had feelings for her? No wonder Long Yin was upset. It was quite frustrating to be misunderstood by someone he liked.

"You shouldn't take it to heart. Don't you know what my big brother can be like? There isn't much difference between him being angry and not angry. He's always been this way," Yaoyao said carelessly. "Still, you shouldn't make such jokes in the future. Royal Brother already has someone he likes."

This troubled Lu Xue and she started to blame herself. "I would never have said such a thing if I knew that." As she spoke, she got curious. "I wonder which girl Cousin Long Yin has his heart set on."

Yaoyao shook her head. "I have no idea either."

When Hexin saw the curious look on Lu Xue's face, she suddenly had an idea and asked, "Big Sis Lu Xue, what sort of man would you like to marry in the future?"
