Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

1286 The Greatest Joy In Life

Ji’er’s hands were still tiny and it took her some effort to get a good grip on the rattle drum. All it took was a gentle shake for the rattle to let out a bright noise.

When Ji’er heard the sound, her black eyes widened as she looked curiously at the object.

Lu Liangwei turned around, retrieved the two other children from the nannies, and placed them on the bed according to the order of their birth.

As she looked at all three children sitting in a row, Lu Liangwei felt her heart was full of happiness.

This must be what the greatest joy in life felt like.

A gentle smile spread across her whole face as she watched her three children.

Yaoyao was the nearest to Ji’er. When she spotted the rattle drum shaking in Ji’er’s hand, she wanted it as well. Yaoyao reached out in an attempt to grab it.

However, Ji’er suddenly shifted the toy to her other hand.

When Yaoyao saw the rattle drum move further out of her reach, she immediately started crying.

“Sob, sob…”

Lu Liangwei gave a start and hastily took out another rattle drum and shoved it into her tiny hands. “I have more with me. Be good, Yaoyao. Don’t cry.”

Yaoyao immediately stopped crying when she held the rattle drum in her hand. She began to shake the rattle drum, playing with it.

Long Yin spared one short look at the toy and turned away with disinterest.

When Lu Liangwei placed the last rattle drum into his hand, that rascal flung it away. He had no interest at all in this childish little trinket.

Lu Liangwei was exasperated but amused at the same time. She brought out a little wooden horse and put it in his hand.

His eyelids flitted for a moment and he accepted it without much interest.

Right then, Ji’er suddenly let out a sob. It was not loud but Lu Liangwei heard it.

She had tossed the rattle drum to one side.

Lu Liangwei thought the girl was crying because she lost her toy. She quickly picked up the rattle drum and put it back in her hands.

However, Ji’er apparently did not care for the rattle drum—she continued crying.

Lu Liangwei began to panic as she quickly bent over to carry Ji’er up.

“Are you hungry, Ji’er?” She gently patted Ji’er’s back and asked softly.

Ji’er leaned over Lu Liangwei’s shoulders and her black eyes swept across the room. When she failed to spot the person she wanted to see, she immediately howled.

Lu Liangwei jumped in shock. She thought Ji’er must be feeling unwell somewhere and wanted to check her pulse.

Zhu Yu spoke gently from the side. “Miss, the little princess is looking for Lil Qi.”

Lu Liangwei instantly felt dejected when she heard this.

Long Yang had mentioned to her before that Ji’er was incredibly attached to Lil Qi. She had not actually believed this to be true.

Even though she was mentally prepared for it, she was still a little upset to discover it. It turned out that her daughter was not very close to her.

She carried her daughter and cajoled her for quite a while. Ji’er’s crying softened, but she was still sobbing. Her large eyes kept darting around her. Pained by the sight, Lu Liangwei quickly said to Zhu Yu, “Get Lil Qi here, quickly.”

Zhu Yu immediately hurried off.

Chu Qi was not far away; he was standing outside in the corridor.

He had heard Ji’er the moment she began crying.

However, he suppressed the urge to rush in.

When the hunter’s wife saw how tormented the boy was, she sighed in her heart. She knew how Lil Qi treated Princess Ji’er—he was even more gentle and loving than her father.

Princess Ji’er also relied heavily on Lil Qi, and would almost never willingly leave his side.

“She is Ji’er’s mother, after all,” the hunter’s wife said gently. “Even though it’s the first time the two are meeting each other, they are bound by blood. I can tell that Ji’er is fond of Her Highness too. The young girl just hasn’t gotten used to being away from you. As time passes, she won’t rely on you as much as before. You have to be prepared for that.”

In her eyes, Lil Qi was already like a son to her. She did not want Lil Qi to be too depressed about it in the future.

Lil Qi did not reply for a very long time before he finally nodded. “I know.”

Zhu Yu came rushing out at that moment. When she saw Chu Qi standing in the corridor, she quickly called out to him, “Lil Qi, the little princess is looking for you. Hurry and come in.”

Chu Qi’s fists clenched at his side when he heard this.

He was silent for a moment before finally turning around to go inside.
