Chapter 546: She Was Like A Rat That Had Spotted A Cat Whenever She Saw Long Yang
Long Yang swept a look at her. “You may rise.”
Relieved, Lin Qingyuan quickly said, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Lu Liangwei darted a glance at her. This girl was like a rat that had spotted a cat whenever she saw Long Yang.
However, when facing Lu Liangwei, she was always acting so haughty. Such double standards.
Lin Qingyuan moved closer to Lu Liangwei and tugged on her sleeve as she said quietly, “Can I have a private word?”
Lu Liangwei gave her a look, then turned to address Long Yang and Ling Lihua, “I’ll be back later to accompany all of you.”
“Go on,” Ling Lihua replied, caressing Lu Liangwei’s long hair gently.
Lu Liangwei nodded and glanced at Long Yang before following Lin Qingyuan into a room at the side.
Once they entered the room, Lin Qingyuan said enviously, “Lu Liangwei, I can’t help but feel that you’re truly blessed with good fortune.”
Lu Liangwei sat next to the table and smiled when she heard this. She nodded in agreement. “You’re right. I feel the same way.”
Lin Qingyuan pursed her lips at this. “Don’t you know how to act a little humble with these things?”
“It’s the truth. There’s no need for me to be humble about it.” Lu Liangwei was not bothered by this at all.
She noticed the fatigue within Lin Qingyuan’s eyes. “What about you? Were your parents mad at you when you returned home?”
Lin Qingyuan rested her chin on her hand. She looked a little depressed. “They aren’t mad, but all they care about now is my unborn little brother.”
“The child isn’t born yet. Why are all of you so sure that it’s a brother?” Lu Liangwei gave a slightly amazed look at her.
“My parents have probably gone crazy fantasizing about having a son. They’ve even hired a fortune teller who told them that their baby was definitely a boy.” Ling Qingyuan sneered coldly with disdain.
“Now they’re giving their full attention to the child in my mother’s belly. How could they have any time to bother with me? If I knew this was how it’s going to be, I wouldn’t have returned home. I should have just stayed here and lived freely.”
She felt a little spiteful at the end of her grumbling.
Lu Liangwei understood how she felt. Lin Qingyuan used to be the only child of the Lin Family, and had always been doted on by the Lins. Now, Madam Lin was pregnant, and the baby could be a boy. Their attention would naturally be focused on the unborn child.
“You shouldn’t be spouting angry words. I know you can’t bear to leave your parents behind. You’re all grown up already and your mother is pregnant. It’s only natural that their attention would be focused on the child, and you’d end up getting sidelined. But they are definitely still concerned about you. You shouldn’t be running wild with your imagination.”
Lin Qingyuan sighed. “I know. It’s just that my parents have been hoping for a son for a very long time. Now that my mother has gotten pregnant again against all odds, of course they’d pay more attention to the child. It’s only natural, but I still can’t help but feel exasperated.”
Lu Liangwei had no idea what else she could do to console her.
After all, she had her parents and older brother, and there was even her grandmother. All of them loved and doted on her very much. Not to mention, her parents and grandmother even cherished her more than her older brother.
It was a little inappropriate to try sweet-talking Lin Qingyuan out of her rut when Lu Liangwei had always enjoyed so much love from her family.
“My parents are placing so much attention on the child before he is even born. Won’t I become even more irrelevant to the family once he is born?”
“Stop thinking too much about it. Your parents treat you pretty well.” Lu Liangwei could not help consoling her again when she saw Lin Qingyuan getting more and more depressed.
Lin Qingyuan looked at her and said, “I seriously do envy you. You are the apple of your parents’ and grandmother’s eyes. Even your big brother dotes on you so much.
Lu Liangwei felt that she was extremely fortunate as well. She had transmigrated into a family who loved and treasured her, unlike her fate in her previous life. Even though her parents there loved her too, they had always been very strict with her. On top of that, they had passed away quite early in her life and she had never harbored strong feelings toward them.
