Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

1367 There Was A Gentle Yet Coquettish Charm To Her Now

Ji’er’s perfect, pink little face leaned into the nook of his neck and her little hands clenched the collar of his shirt.

Chu Qi carried her steadily in one hand while his other hand grabbed the horse reins.

Chu Qi pulled the horse to a stop when they arrived at Grand Phoenix Palace. He carried Ji’er down the horse and brought her into the side hall after informing Lu Liangwei and Long Yang about it.

Lu Liangwei suddenly felt a little sad as she watched the young man disappear into the night.

“What is Ji’er going to do in the future when she’s already so reliant on Lil Qi?”

Long Yang took a glance at Chu Qi leaving with Ji’er in his arms. He comforted her. “There is no need to think too much about this. Ji’er is still young and it’s only natural for her to be reliant on an adult, just like how Yaoyao is so reliant on you.”

Lu Liangwei frowned. “It’s different. I’m Yaoyao’s mother. It’s only right for her to be reliant on me…”

“With Ji’er’s current condition, we should be content.” Long Yang sighed softly. At the very least, Ji’er did not reject them. Besides not being willing to sleep with them at night, she was quite happy to spend time with them during the day. “Let’s take it slow.”

Something about this bothered Lu Liangwei, but she could not put her finger on it.

“Alright. Stop thinking about it. It’s getting very late. We should bring the children in and go to sleep.” Long Yang carried Long Yin in one hand and placed his other hand around her shoulder as he led her back into the bedchamber.

The unsettling feeling Lu Liangwei felt finally went away after he talked to her about it. She carried Yaoyao and went into the bedchamber with him.

The next day.

Chu Jiu woke up at daybreak.

She looked at the sky outside and pushed the man next to her despite feeling discomfort all over her body. “Get up, Lu Tingchen.”

Lu Tingchen opened his twinkling eyes and glanced at her in a daze. He suddenly frowned and climbed over her to get out of bed.

When Chu Jiu saw how much he was in a hurry, she straightened herself up and asked, “Where are you going?”

Lu Tingchen put on his shoes and his handsome face turned slightly red. “I… I need to go to the bathroom.”

Chu Jiu was taken aback.

Lu Tingchen found this a little embarrassing and quickly ran out of the bedchamber.

When he returned, Chu Jiu was already done cleaning and dressing up.

They had to go to Longevity Hall to serve tea to the Dowager Duchess, which was why Chu Jiu continued wearing her new, bright red dress.

Lu Tingchen was a little mesmerized at the sight of her.

Something about Jiu seemed different after last night. She seemed to be more feminine.

Looking at her face, he realized there was a gentle yet coquettish charm to her now.

Chu Jiu sat at the side of the bed and noticed him staring at her. This made her feel self-conscious and she hurried him. “It’s getting late. Hurry and clean yourself up.”

“Alright,” Lu Tingchen replied absent-mindedly and left to clean up.

Chu Jiu had already picked out his clothes by the time he was done.

It was bright red as well, however, the style was not as complex as his wedding attire. It looked more festive.

Chu Jiu helped him put on his clothes with care.

Lu Tingchen felt like he was on cloud nine. It was like being in a dream.

He had never thought Jiu would be so gentle and considerate toward him.

Once he was done, he could not help reaching out to pull her into his arms. “Does it still hurt?”

Chu Jiu knew what he was asking about. She would have blushed but the memory of them consummating their marriage last night made her feel much more comfortable talking about this. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Lu Tingchen had been quite gentle with her. He had practiced a lot of self-control and did not go overboard with her.

She caressed his handsome face at the thought of this.

He was a good-looking man and looked even nobler when he put on his bright, red robe. He was exceptionally handsome.

Lu Tingchen held her hand. There was a twinkle in his eye as he said with a lingering look, “Jiu, let’s do it again tonight.”

Chu Jiu’s face burned red and she pushed him away. “It’s getting late. We shouldn’t let Grandmother and the others wait too long.”

Lu Tingchen smiled gently when he saw her red in the face. He placed his arm over her shoulder and kissed her on the forehead. “My wife’s wish is my command.”

Chu Jiu glared at him. She did not want to end up bantering with him and walked out of Constellation Harvest Court first.

Lu Tingchen quickly followed.

Longevity Hall.

The Dowager Duchess, Lu Hetian, and Li Lihua were up quite early waiting for the newlyweds to serve them tea.

The Dowager Duchess was quite excited as she kept looking outside. She would have ended up straining her eyes if she stared any longer.

Lu Hetian and Ling Lihua may look calm, but they were feeling a lot of joy in their hearts.

From this day onward, they had a daughter-in-law.

However, they thought they had arrived too early as their son and daughter-in-law had just gotten married and would not be waking up so early.

As they prepared themselves for a longer wait, the newlyweds walked in together while holding hands.

“They’re here, they’re here. The Heir Presumptive and Young Madam are here,” Aunt Lan said in great excitement.

The Dowager Duchess immediately straightened herself in her seat.

Lu Hetian and Ling Lihua helped tidy each other’s clothes and sat properly in their seats as well.

Lu Tingchen came walking in with Chu Jiu’s hand in his.
