Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart - Chapter 1686

1686 I Can Always Find Someone Younger
“This happened ages ago and you’ve done everything you could to make it up to Ji’er all these years. Can you stop being so hard on yourself?” Lu Liangwei said softly. When Long Yang tried to hurt Ji’er back then, she had blamed him for it, even not understanding him and hating him when she found out what he had done to Ji’er.

However, at the end of the day, it was Lu Liangwei to blame for not having a healthier body.

If she had not gone through a difficult labor and lost so much blood, none of it would have happened.

…

His Majesty had done what he did in a moment of lost control because he loved her too much and could not accept the fact that she had stopped breathing.

Of course, Ji’er was innocent. Such a young child would have known nothing, but she had almost died and was thrown down a cliff afterward.

It was Chu Qi who had saved her both times.

If not for Chu Qi…

Lu Liangwei did not dare imagine what would have happened.

All she knew was that this child had lived a hard life.

Ji’er was her daughter, but Ji’er had to go through so many tribulations the moment she was born.

When Ji’er found out that she was almost flung to death by the father she respected so much, it was not difficult to imagine how shocked and disappointed she felt. She must have begun to have self-doubts—thinking that she was an unwanted child.

The thought of this cut through Lu Liangwei like a knife.

However, Long Yang regretted this and blamed himself for it all these years. He tried his best to make it up to Ji’er and their children had all grown up healthily. All she hoped for was for Long Yang to forgive himself a little and stop being so hard on himself about this.

Since receiving Chu Qi’s letter and finding out what happened to Ji’er, Long Yang had been facing turmoil inside in heart.

He was a man who was shockingly calm and had always managed to maintain his composure no matter what sort of calamity he faced. It was only when it involved people he loved that he would lose his usual sense of calm.

Moreover, he had hardly gotten any sleep the last few days and there were a few more grey hairs on his head.

She was quite worried about his well-being.

“You have to take care of yourself, for my sake.” She sighed softly and frowned, looking wrought with worry.

Her heart ached for Ji’er, it also hurt for Long Yang.

Long Yang lowered his head to look at her.

When he saw the worry on her face and the troubled look hidden in her beautiful eyes, he could not help giving a long sigh. He hugged her tightly and nuzzled his chin on her head. “I promise.”

Lu Liangwei felt relieved and later said in a slightly childish manner, “Let’s pinky promise.” She poked up her pinky as she said this and hooked it in his.

Long Yang looked at her in exasperation. “Is this really necessary?”

“Of course. What if you promise me verbally but go back on your promise the moment I return to the imperial capital?” Lu Liangwei shot him a look while her pinky was hooked to his. She added, “If you don’t keep your promise, then you’ll… You’ll end up not being able to perform in bed.”

Long Yang was taken aback. He raised his hand and gave her a knock on the head. “If that happens to me, you might be the one who ends up crying about it.”

“I can always find someone younger,” Lu Liangwei said seriously.

Long Yang’s almond-shaped eyes narrowed and he clenched his teeth. “You’re dead, Lu Liangwei.” He immediately carried her in his arms.

However, he did not do anything else. All he did was carried her to bed and hugged her while lying down.

It was probably because Lu Liangwei declared she wanted to find someone younger, which had an effect on Long Yang, because not long after that, he fell asleep.

Lu Liangwei could finally relax as she listened to his steady breathing.

She turned to look at him.

When she saw the silver hairs on his head, occasionally shining in the dark, she felt pain in her heart.
She sighed silently.

The next day, Lu Liangwei brought along her two children and sent off Long Yang and Chu Qi.
