Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 1426

1426 Her Dependency On Lil Qi Was Engraved Deep Within Her

Long Yang carried Ji’er in one hand and put his other arm around Lu Liangwei as they walked into the hall.

Zhan Qing watched the heartwarming sight of the family of three and suddenly felt a desire to get married.

She had been serving by Her Highness’s side for seven years.

So many years had passed but His Majesty’s love for Her Highness had never faltered.

!!
Her Highness was the luckiest woman in this world.

After Long Yang placed Ji’er in bed, the girl immediately settled down in the middle and lay down.

Lu Liangwei’s chest tightened at the sight of the tears remnants on her face. The child must have had a nightmare.

She took a handkerchief and gently wiped Ji’er’s tears clean.

Ji’er leaned into her arms and her little hand rested on her mother’s waist. It took Ji’er quite a while before finally saying in a small voice, “Mother, I dreamt that Lil Qi got hurt and he was covered in blood…”

Lu Liangwei suddenly halted her action. Ji’er had dreamt of Chu Qi.

She put her handkerchief away and hugged Ji’er tighter. “Silly girl. Dreams normally reflect life backward. Besides, Lil Qi’s martial arts skills are so formidable. He can’t be hurt by just anyone. He will return safe and sound!”

Ji’er sobbed softly. “But Ji’er is so scared. Ji’er doesn’t want Lil Qi to get hurt…”

Lu Liangwei watched her daughter tremble slightly in her arms. Her eyes met Long Yang’s and there was a grim look on both their faces.

Ji’er’s dependency on Lil Qi was greater than they had imagined.

They had initially thought that Ji’er was still young and only felt an incomparable closeness to him because he had saved her numerous times. It was only natural for this to happen. Once she had grown older and met more people, her dependency on Lil Qi would naturally fade, or so they thought. However, it looked like it was not happening.

Ji’er’s dependency on Lil Qi was engraved deep within her.

Lu Liangwei felt a little worried about this.

“That won’t happen. Lil Qi won’t get hurt. Stop imagining things, Ji’er. Once the riot in Southern Xinjiang is over, Lil Qi will be back,” she comforted her softly.

It was probably because Ji’er was exhausted that she fell asleep in her mother’s arms before long.

However, from the sight of her clenching tight onto Lu Liangwei’s clothes, it was clear that she was not completely convinced.

Lu Liangwei could not sleep when she saw her daughter this way.

She turned to Long Yang. “What should we do?”

Long Yang understood her worry. He was, in fact, worried about the same thing.

He used to think that Ji’er was still young, which was why he was not too bothered about her dependency on Lil Qi.

However, as she began to grow, it was impossible for him to ignore this issue.

“I’ll bestow marriage on him when Lil Qi returns. Once he has his own children, he should stay away from Ji’er and the girl will no longer be dependent on him.” Long Yang made the decision with a frown.

Lu Liangwei nodded. “It’s just as well. Lil Qi is twenty-two this year. It’s time for him to get married and have children.”

However, none of them expected Chu Qi to be away for a whole year.

Southern Xinjiang was not easy to deal with. Not only were the people proficient at using poisons, but it was also difficult to launch attacks due to the geography.

It took Chu Qi an entire year to take over Southern Xinjiang.

Chu Qi initially did not need to take responsibility for quelling the riot in Southern Xinjiang, but when the trouble began there last year, Lin Qingyuan was about to give birth. Long Xuan was worried about her and Long Yang wanted Chu Qi to gain some experience, which was why the responsibility of handling the riot fell onto Chu Qi’s shoulders.

When Yaoyao entered her little sister’s palace, she saw Ji’er holding a sword and practicing her sword skills under a tree.

Ji’er was serious and vicious with her practice and it was quite frightening.

It was not the first time Yaoyao had seen her practicing her sword skills, but today, it felt like her little sister was out to kill.

Her moves were sharp and ferocious.

Their father had taught them this set of moves.

After he decided to have all three siblings pick up sword skills, her brother and sister had picked up on the craft well, but she was not interested at all. Yaoyao had only practiced for a short while before giving up. Instead, she turned to learn to make poison from her mother in the medicinal room.

Yaoyao looked thoughtfully at her little sister, who looked particularly unusual today.
