Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 1715
1715 He Made It Difficult For Her To Take It Easy
Lu Liangwei was taken aback as she looked into the cold eyes of her son. She knew that she had pushed him into a corner.
This young fellow was angry!
She sighed and tried to get on his good side as she said, “Alright. Come over earlier for lunch this afternoon. I’ll be cooking your favorite dishes myself. I’ll take my leave now.”
Long Yin’s eyelashes moved slightly. He wanted to say something but did not in the end.
He rubbed between his eyes as he watched his mother leave the imperial study. He was not really mad at his mother, he was just angry at himself.
He blamed himself for not taking a stronger stand and giving in so easily to his mother.
Even though whatever that was on the imperial decree was fake, it still involved his mother and this made him quite uncomfortable.
Lu Liangwei stayed true to her word. She went into the kitchen the moment she returned to Grand Phoenix Palace and rolled up her sleeves.
When afternoon came, Hexin went to the imperial study.
Long Yin was a little surprised to see her there. “Hexin?”
Hexin stood outside the imperial study and did not enter. She could not help remembering the embarrassing situation the night before when she looked into the young man’s eyes and said with slight uneasiness, “Big Bro Long Yin, Aunt Weiwei said for you to come over for lunch.”
Long Yin was taken aback and asked, “My mother got you to come get me?”
Hexin nodded and replied honestly, “Yes. Aunt Weiwei cooked lunch for today and she was supposed to come to get you, but she couldn’t get away. I was free, so she got me to come over to get you.”
Long Yin instantly understood the reason when he heard this.
His mother was not really busy. Even if she was, she could have gotten the servants to get him. However, she asked Hexin to do it instead because she was worried he was angry and would refuse to go over.
Hexin was a guest and if she came over to get him, it would embarrass her if he declined the invite.
His mother was really…
He rubbed between his eyes. “Come on inside first, Hexin.”
“Huh?” Hexin gave him a questioning look.
“I still have something I need to finish. Please wait a while for me,” Long Yin explained. After that, he lowered his head and continued working.
Hexin watched the young man lower his head at the table and hesitated before pulling up her dress slightly to cross into the room.
She had always thought the imperial study to be a strict and serious place. It was the workplace of the Emperor and in addition to that, she did not belong to this country and should avoid entering.
Hexin did not dare look around when she got in but sat responsibly somewhere a little far away from the imperial table.
By the time Long Yin was done with work, it was half an hour later.
He gave some orders to the servants and after they had retreated, he emerged from behind the imperial table only to see the young girl seated not far away. She did not even move a muscle.
Long Yin paused in his steps and his voice softened, “Hexin?”
Hexin immediately stood up when she heard his voice. “Big Bro Long Yin?”
“Let’s go.” Long Yin glanced at her and stepped out of the imperial study.
Hexin quickly followed behind with her head lowered.
“You don’t need to be so reserved, Hexin.”
The young man’s voice could be suddenly heard from the front.
Hexin gave a start and when she looked up at the young man’s back, she replied without really meaning it, “Alright.”
Long Yin turned back to look at her when he heard her. “You’re being too careful. There is no need to be this way.”
Hexin’s lips moved. She wanted to say something but gave up in the end. Instead, she replied softly, “I’ll remember that.”
She felt that she did not need to act so carefully either.
At the very least, she was quite relaxed when spending time with Aunt Weiwei and Yaoyao.
It was only with Big Bro Long Yin that made it difficult for her to take it easy.
Long Yin frowned when he noticed the disagreeing look on the young lady’s face. “You can just tell me what’s on your mind.”
