Chapter 848 How Is Talking About Bearing Children Not Serious
Long Yang treated her so well—he doted on her, cared for her, and even satisfied her every whim. How could she not fall for him?
Her love for him had already grown strong long ago.
“You’re not old at all, Your Majesty. You happen to have everything I like.” She raised her head and looked at him with shimmering eyes.
Long Yang’s heart raced, and he held her tightly in his arms. After a long while, he whispered huskily, “Gaining your affection is the best thing that has ever happened to me.”
He planted a kiss on her forehead and stroked her tresses, his voice low and gentle. “Right now, I believe in destiny.”
“What?” Lu Liangwei looked at him in confusion.
“I must have waited in loneliness all those years just so I could meet you.” Long Yang gazed at her with bright black eyes.
Lu Liangwei’s heart thumped. The next instant, she broke into a smile and threw her arms around his neck. “That’s the most beautiful and touching thing I’ve heard this
year.”
Perhaps it really was destiny.
Perhaps she had arrived in this world for him.
Long Yang kissed her tenderly and longingly, and after a long while, he finally let go of her.
Lu Liangwei leaned against his chest, panting. A thought came to her, and she rubbed her stomach and asked, “Would you prefer a boy or a girl, Your Majesty?”
Long Yang was startled. He did not seem to have thought about the question before. “I’m fine with either.”
Lu Liangwei was dissatisfied with his half-hearted answer. “You really don’t like children, do you?”
Long Yang nodded and said honestly, “Yes, but I will if you’re the mother. I will only like our children.”
Lu Liangwei looked at him in amusement, but she felt a tingling warmth inside.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or girl. Let’s just let nature take its course,” Long Yang added right away.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Liangwei asked, “But wouldn’t it be better if it was a boy?” She was referring to the current situation in the imperial court.
Long Yang naturally understood what she meant and grasped her hand. “A girl is fine, too. If she’s interested, I can teach her how to become a ruler and let her inherit my throne in the future.”
“You’d want to raise an empress?” Lu Liangwei exclaimed.
Long Yang cocked an eyebrow and said haughtily, “Why not? As long as our daughter is happy with it.”
Lu Liangwei stared at him in shock. She did not expect him to be so modern in his thinking.
Besides, she was sure he wanted a son.
A long moment later, she muttered ruefully, “But even if this is a girl, I might give birth to a boy in the future.”
Long Yang’s gaze deepened. “You’re already thinking about bearing another child for me?”
Lu Liangwei pushed his face away in annoyance. “I’m having a serious conversation with you.”
Long Yang sighed. “How is talking about bearing children not serious?”
Lu Liangwei was tongue-tied. Bearing children was a serious subject, of course, but this fellow was clearly thinking about the process of conceiving a child!
Did he really think she had no idea what was going on in his mind?
Hmph!
Long Yang caressed her face. “If you’re willing to bear more children, I’m fine with it too, but I don’t want you to overexert yourself. Besides…” He paused, a frown creasing his forehead. “I heard from Zhao Qian that giving birth is extremely painful. If possible, I hope you won’t have to go through that kind of suffering.”
Lu Liangwei was stunned.
A warm feeling bloomed in her heart and enveloped her entire body. “What’s wrong?” Noticing her silence, Long Yang asked with concern.
Lu Liangwei shook her head and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Nothing. I just feel really blessed that I could meet a wonderful person like you.”
Long Yang stroked her hair. He was the lucky one because he was able to meet her.
“Let’s build a snowman, Your Majesty.” All of a sudden, Lu Liangwei piped up enthusiastically. Long Yang held her tightly. “Aren’t you cold?”
