1458 She Would Marry Lil Qi When She Grew Up
After they were done with their game, Long Yin got up understandingly and left with his two younger sisters.
Lu Liangwei walked back inside after seeing off her three children. She watched as Long Yang held onto a chess piece. She wondered what was going through his mind as he kept holding on to it.
“Is something on your mind?” She walked over to him and sat next to him.
Long Yang smiled and put the piece down. He pulled her into his arms as he sat. “Nothing much.”
“Don’t say that. Even Yin’er could tell that something is bothering you.” Lu Liangwei played with his slender fingers. “What is it? Can’t you share it with me?”
Long Yang sighed. “Lil Qi requested for me to send him to the West Water Frontier.”
Lu Liangwei was shocked. She lifted her head to look at him. “He left today?”
“Yes.” Long Yang frowned. “He’s doing it for Ji’ er.”
The news of Chu Qi leaving for West Water Frontier was too sudden. Lu Liangwei was silent for a while before asking, “I heard that Lil Qi killed Man Li. What exactly happened?”
“Man Li said some ugly things that hurt Lil Qi and Ji’ er,” Long Yang explained simply.
Lu Liangwei frowned. Even if he did not elaborate on it, she figured out what terrible things Man Li had said.
Otherwise, Chu Qi would not have killed her on the spot.
“Lil Qi chose to leave for West Water Frontier because of this? Is he worried that staying here would destroy Ji’er’s reputation?”
“Yes.” Long Yang rested his chin on her head and nuzzled her gently.
Lu Liangwei sighed. “It has been hard on Lil Qi. If Ji’er found out about this, she would be sad again.”
“Let’s not let her know for now,” Long Yang said.
“Alright.” Lu Liangwei did not plan on telling Ji’er either.
Even though she would find out sooner or later, it was still best to hide it from Ji’er for as long as they could.
Moreover, by the time Ji’er found out about this, Lil Qi would already have arrived at the West Water Frontier.
She might make a huge fuss over this, but there would be nothing she could do about it.
Sigh!
…
It was half a month later when Ji’er found out about it.
Everyone held their breaths and looked at her worriedly.
However, they were surprised to see that Ji’er did not cry or make a fuss.
She was silent for a long time before jumping into Lu Liangwei’s arms. She lifted her little face and asked Lu Liangwei, “Mother, is Lil Qi never coming back here?”
Lu Liangwei looked at Ji’er, who was holding back her tears, and felt so much pain for her. She rubbed Ji’er ‘s head and said softly, “Of course, not. He’ll return once Ji’er had grown up.”
Ji’er suddenly stopped feeling sad when she heard this. An idea began to form in her mind.
She wanted to grow up quickly. Once she had grown up, she would marry Lil Qi. That way, he would stay by her side forever.
“I’ve got it, Mother. I’ll wait for Lil Qi to return.” Ji’er suddenly gave a beautiful smile to Lu Liangwei.
Everyone was stunned, including Lu Liangwei.
That was because Ji’er’s reaction was too unexpected.
Lu Liangwei thought she would cry and make a fuss, but she did nothing of the sort. Instead, she looked happy with a tinge of sense that she was looking forward to something.
Even though Lu Liangwei was surprised, she felt quite relieved.
Her Ji’er had grown up.
“Yes, let’s wait for him together,” Lu Liangwei said with a smile.
…
Lu Xue returned after a few days. Lu Liangwei had sent someone to bring her into the Palace.
Unlike Yaoyao and Ji’er, who were healthy, the impression Lu Xue gave others was how fragile she was. She was fair, just like her name, which meant ‘snow’. She looked like a translucent porcelain doll that would break at a touch.
“Greetings to you, Aunt Liangwei.” Lu Xue gave Lu Liangwei a bow when she saw her.
Lu Liangwei quickly helped her up and looked her over. Lu Liangwei smiled and said, “You silly girl. It’s only been a while and you’re already acting like a stranger when you see me.”
