The expression on Lu Liangwei’s face changed as she said to Long Yang, “What should we do? My father is here.”
Long Yang’s lips straightened into a thin line. He did not expect Lu Hetian to suddenly appear.
He was about to tell Lu Liangwei not to panic when she suddenly grabbed his hand and quickly marched him toward the inner room.
“Lie there, quickly, and don’t make a sound,” Lu Liangwei pushed Long Yang as she tried to get him to lie down on her bed.
Long Yang glanced at what was in front of him. It was a bed that looked too small and too narrow for him. He hesitated.
“You have to be quick.” Lu Liangwei could not stop staring at the entrance and when she turned to see that Long Yang was not moving while her father’s footsteps got nearer and nearer, she pushed him again out of anxiousness.
Long Yang was helpless about the situation. He could actually just jump out from the window.
However, the girl was clearly in a panic and extremely anxious, which was why this option did not occur to her.
If he walked to the outer room right now, there was a chance he might bump into Lu Hetian.
Under such helpless circumstances, all that was left for him to do was to lie down on her bed as instructed.
Once Lu Liangwei saw this, she quickly pulled down the gauze netting.
However, Long Yang suddenly pulled her arm at that moment, and dragged her onto the bed as well.
She was not prepared for this and fell right into his open arms.
Lu Liangwei’s face sizzled. She was about to struggle when Long Yang moved toward her ear and whispered, “Zhu Yu just said you were sleeping. If you lie down in bed like this, your father won’t suspect a thing.”
Lu Liangwei stopped struggling when she heard this.
Creak!
The door was pushed open from the outside.
“Weiwei, are you asleep?”
Lu Hetian’s gentle voice filled with adoration could be heard coming from outside.
Lu Liangwei’s heart was hanging on a thread. She was afraid that he would discover Long Yang lying on her bed if he walked in. She quickly answered in a voice that sounded sleepy, “Father, I’m a bit sleepy and was thinking of taking a nap. Is anything the matter?”
When Lu Hetian heard her voice coming from inside, he did not walk any deeper into her room, but stood outside instead. “Nothing. I’m just here to see you. Since you’re tired, you should sleep a little longer. I’ll get someone to send dinner over to you later.”
Lu Liangwei was relieved. “Thank you, Father.”
“Silly girl, I’m your father, what’s there for you to thank me for?” Lu Hetian said with slight exasperation.
Lu Liangwei felt a fuzzy feeling in her heart and said in a sweetly soft tone, “I’ll head over to see you later, Father.”
“Alright. Continue with your nap. I won’t disturb you any longer,” Lu Hetian said. He was about to leave when his gaze fell upon the food basket on the table by chance. He paused and then darted a look at the bed behind the folding screen.
There was a flicker of suspicion in his eyes, but he said nothing. He turned to leave.
Zhu Yu, who had been following behind him, was scared out of her soul. When she saw the room was quiet and without any sign of His Majesty, her thumping heart finally relaxed.
When the Grand Duke left, she immediately closed the room door.
She wondered privately if His Majesty had left in advance.
Inside the room.
Lu Liangwei was equally relieved when she heard the door close.
What happened just now gave her a massive fright.
She could not help but wipe off the sweat that appeared on her forehead from the scare.
If her father found out Long Yang was in her room, he would never let this matter rest.
Even if Long Yang was the Emperor, her father would not treat this incident lightly.
At the thought of this, she turned to glare at the man next to her with an accusatory look in her eyes.
The dark figure lying in the bed’s netting was Long Yang. She could not see his expression clearly.
He laid there without moving, entranced by the light fragrance. His arms were filled with the girl’s soft body.
Within the bed’s netting that was filled with her scent, his handsome face blushed slightly. It was lucky that the netting was left hanging. It blocked the light, which helped conceal the awkward expression on his face.
Both of them remained silent. Within the tranquil atmosphere, a sensual feeling suddenly filled the air, growing gradually. It suddenly filled Lu Liangwei with some uneasiness.
