With a start, Lu Liangwei came back to her senses and struggled hastily. "No, no, I can do it myself. You must be exhausted from hunting all day, so you should hurry up and go to bed. Seriously, don't worry about me."
Ignoring her struggles, Long Yang carried her over to the bathtub and said gently, "I was the one who washed your body after you fell asleep the past few times, so there's no need to be nervous."
In other words, he had already seen every part of her body.
Although he did not say it out loud, Lu Liangwei understood what he meant.
In fact, she already had a vague suspicion in her mind, but she had tried not to think about it.
Now that she heard him say it directly, her face immediately blushed a bright red.
"How could you, Your Majesty?" She stamped her foot and turned away from him, refusing to give him any more attention.
Long Yang grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her back around to face him. "What are you shy for? We've been married for almost a month. We're practically an old couple already."
When she heard this, the heat on Lu Liangwei's face subsided. Shooting him a sidelong glance, she decided to twist his words. "You're the old one. I'm still young."
Long Yang's eyes narrowed. "Lu Liangwei."
"What?" She was feeling indignant and did not fear him at all. "Am I wrong? Besides, you felt shy just now, so why can't I be shy too?"
Long Yang suddenly looked a little sheepish. "When was I shy?"
"You wouldn't let me take off your pants just now." After saying that, Lu Liangwei looked at him confidently, expecting to see an awkward expression on his face.
However, she was to be disappointed.
There was not the slightest trace of awkwardness on Long Yang's face. Instead, he looked at her with a smirk. "So, you wanted to take off my pants after all?"
Lu Liangwei blushed and glared at him in annoyance. "Nonsense!"
"But that's precisely what you were saying just now." A smile played on Long Yang's lips as he took her hand and placed it on his waist, saying mischievously, "You can do whatever you want."
Lu Liangwei, "..."
"All right, all right. I was just teasing you. Hurry up and bathe, or the water's going to get cold." Long Yang squeezed her cheek before turning and walking off.
Lu Liangwei breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and began to undress.
The servants had already replaced the water in the bathtub.
After her bath, she headed back to the bed. Long Yang was still awake and leaning against the headboard, reading a book.
Seeing her return, he put down the book and reached out to take her hand. "It's getting late. Let's go to bed."
Lu Liangwei paused. "Were you waiting for me?"
"Yes," said Long Yang matter-of-factly. "How could I sleep first when you haven't finished your bath?"
Lu Liangwei felt a little warm inside.
Although it was just a small gesture, it still touched her heart.
She took off her shoes and climbed into bed.
Long Yang casually picked her up and placed her down on the inner side of the bed.
Lu Liangwei lay down and gazed at him quietly, unable to hide the happiness in her lovely eyes.
Long Yang was rather confused. "What made you so happy?"
"You, Your Majesty," she replied naturally.
Startled, Long Yang raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "You're that pleased with me?"
Lu Liangwei paused for a while before snorting softly. "You're so vain."
"Then you're not pleased with me?" Long Yang continued to tease her while resting his head on his hands.
"That's right," Lu Liangwei replied untruthfully.
"You little liar!" Long Yang leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead. He then got up and blew out the candles, only leaving the two beside the bed.
"Go to sleep," Long Yang lay down and said softly.
Lu Liangwei closed her eyes peacefully.
Sure enough, Long Yang kept his promise and did not badger her. However, in the middle of the night, she was suddenly awakened by an unbearable heat in her body.
The man's mature and fatally alluring scent filled her nose and tickled her senses repeatedly.
She knew that she was getting agitated because she had eaten a heap of venison and drunk half a bowl of deer penis soup for dinner.
However, the more she thought about it, the more her insides burned, and she instantly lost all desire to sleep.
She turned over in bed, but was still wide awake.
"Weiwei?"
The man's voice sounded exceptionally deep and seductive in the silence of the night.
Lu Liangwei's body immediately tensed up.
She pursed her dry lips. "Did I disturb you?"
