Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Long Yang was initially taken aback to hear her say something like that as seriously, but then he could not help but pull her up from her seat as he brushed her nose with his finger. “You naughty little thing. I was consoling you, yet you’re thinking about doing mean things to me.”

Lu Liangwei hugged him around the waist. She was not intimidated at all as she replied indignantly, “Well, you’re the male lead in my life, aren’t you? Who else could I be mean to but you?”

“Male lead? Male supporting character?” Long Yang thought these two phrases sounded interesting.

“What do they mean?”

Lu Liangwei gave this some thought and asked him instead, “Your Majesty, would you believe it if I told you that we are living in a book?”

Long Yang gave her a curious look. “Living in a book?”

Lu Liangwei nodded. “That’s right. Sometimes I feel that maybe we’re just some characters written up by some random person’s pen, and our lives are controlled by the writings of that person.”

Long Yang rubbed her head. “Why is it that you’re always thinking up such strange things? If we only exist in a book, then why are we alive and have such realistic surroundings?”

“That’s why I only said ‘if’,” Lu Liangwei replied while blinking.

“If this was true, I must really thank the person who wrote the story and presented you to me.” A small smile appeared on Long Yang’s lips.

Lu Liangwei leaned against his chest and nodded as well. “Yes, I’d like to thank the person who created you and gave me such a good Emperor.”

Long Yang’s ears burned red when he heard this. He stopped smiling and turned serious, embracing the girl tightly in his arms. He asked with delight, “Do you truly think so?”

Lu Liangwei did not fully expect to blurt out those words and was immediately self-conscious about it when she realized what she had just said. She did not answer him but merely nodded gently.

Long Yang was overjoyed as he suddenly hoisted her into his arms.

Lu Liangwei was caught off guard and hurriedly stabilized herself by wrapping her arms around his neck. “What are you doing?”

Long Yang looked deeply at her, not saying a word. All he did was walk straight toward the bedroom.

Lu Liangwei, “…”

She was not really in agreement with His Majesty’s frequent habit of carrying her into the bedroom without warning like this.

She was about to say something when Zhu Yu suddenly came running in. “Miss, I heard that Heir Presumptive Lu is about to go to war at the frontier. Is this true?”

Lu Liangwei immediately struggled and pushed against Long Yang’s arms when she heard this. She lowered her voice and said, “Your Majesty, put me down now.”

Long Yang was a little upset as he darted a cold look at the little maidservant who did not know her place.

However, he relented and placed Lu Liangwei down.

He rubbed her head and said warmly, “I still have some work to take care of in the imperial study. I won’t be coming over tonight. Have a good rest.”

Lu Liangwei looked at him in surprise but nodded. “Alright. Don’t stay up too late, Your Majesty.”

Long Yang caressed her soft, tender cheek. “Okay. I feel happy to know that I’m on your mind.”

Lu Liangwei’s eyelashes trembled as she gripped his large hands and replied softly, “If you have work to do, go ahead. You don’t need to bother yourself with me.”

Long Yang quietly sighed at the obedient way the girl was behaving. “Alright.”

Zhu Yu entered the room only after Long Yang had left. She realized only later that she seemed to have disturbed a moment between His Majesty and her Miss.

She stood where she was uncomfortably and dared not say anything for quite a while.

Lu Liangwei said brusquely when she saw this, “Have you suddenly turned into a cowardly little quail?”

Zhu Yu was slightly embarrassed as she said, “I acted too rashly. I’ve interrupted you and His Majesty…”

Lu Liangwei’s face burned. She was actually grateful for Zhu Yu barging in.

This was because His Majesty had been fully prepared as he was about to…

“You wanted to ask about big brother going to the frontier, right?” Lu Liangwei suddenly changed the topic.
