Chapter 967: Deceived By His Gentlemanly Appearance
By the third time, Long Yang finally realized that she was doing it on purpose.
“The weather is still cold. Don’t kick the covers anymore.”
To Lu Liangwei’s surprise, he was not angry. Instead, he drew the covers over her again patiently, and there was a rare note of tenderness in his tone.
Hearing this, Lu Liangwei stopped acting up at last and lay quietly on his lap.
Relieved that she had finally ceased her mischief, Long Yang went back to reading.
After some time, Lu Liangwei eventually fell asleep. However, it was still rather uncomfortable lying on his lap, and she turned her head in her sleep, trying to find a better position.
Smack!
Long Yang groaned, astonishment flashing across his face.
Collecting himself, he narrowed his eyes, but his ears were already bright red.
However, the girl was still sound asleep, oblivious to what she had done.
A moment later, he put his book aside, moved her head gently onto her pillow, and lay down beside her.
As he gazed at the girl’s peaceful sleeping face, his eyes darkened.
She murmured something, then descended into slumber again.
Long Yang’s thick and long eyelashes trembled. Staring at the sleeping girl, he suddenly smiled ruefully.
The next day.
When Lu Liangwei woke up, Long Yang had already gone to court.
She had no doubt she slept well last night, and she had always maintained a good sleeping posture, so there was no way that she had slept on her left arm.
However, her left arm was noticeably sore and numb.
How strange. Why was her arm so sore?
She mused over this as she got out of bed.
At noon, Lu Liangwei returned from her walk in the imperial garden and was surprised to find Long Yang sitting in her room, reading. When she entered, he merely cast her a glance before turning back to his book.
Lu Liangwei pulled a face. If she had not already known what he had done last night, she would have been deceived by his gentlemanly appearance.
He was a beast in human form!
After roasting him in her heart, she headed straight for the bedchamber, deliberately ignoring him.
Seeing her walk past him, Long Yang paused for a moment, then continued to read.
After Zhu Yu and the other servants set the table for lunch, she was about to go into the bedchamber to call Lu Liangwei out when Long Yang stopped her. “All of you can go now.”
Zhu Yu and the servants immediately left the room without delay.
When they were all gone, Long Yang rose to his feet slowly and walked toward the bedchamber.
