Zhu Yu arranged the dishes on the table, and when she saw that the Emperor was also joining, she hurriedly added another set of utensils.
Lu Liangwei had gone off to wash her face, and when she came out, Long Yang had already sat up. His clothes were in place, and his face was calm and devoid of all his previous passion. A hint of a smile flickered across her eyes, and she said softly, “You haven’t had dinner, right? Shall we have dinner together?”
Long Yang cast a glance at her, still dazed at the memory of what she had done just now.
He looked her up and down hesitantly, his reprimand at the tip of his tongue, but in the end, he could not bring himself to open his mouth.
This girl may have been impudent, but he could not deny the pleasure he had felt in his body.
Suppressing the heat surging in him, he got up and walked to the dining table wordlessly.
Long Yang did not utter a single word throughout dinner.
All was silent at the dining table.
His face was stony for the whole time, and Lu Liangwei pouted. He was not like this at all just now. She had clearly heard the groans of pleasure escaping his throat.
What a hypocrite!

Little did she know that Long Yang was still engrossed in the memory of their heated moment.
Although they did not go all the way, the girl had pinned Long Yang on the bed, and she had even…
There was a terrifying darkness in Long Yang’s eyes.
After dinner, Lu Liangwei went to take a bath.
Long Yang’s fingers twitched as he watched her leave.
Recalling the fervor of that night and his restlessness just now, he suddenly felt his body grow hot.
This time, however, he held himself back from following her inside.
Lu Liangwei was already feeling exhausted. After her bath, she headed directly to the inner room, ready to go to bed.
Long Yang sat waiting in the outer room. Some time had passed, yet there was still no sign of Lu Liangwei. Unable to sit still, he finally put down his book, got up, and walked into the inner room.
When he entered, Lu Liangwei was already lying in bed.
Long Yang’s eyes narrowed.
How dare this woman left him alone and went to bed after teasing him?
He cleared his throat to express his dissatisfaction.
Lu Liangwei was about to drift off to sleep, but when she heard his voice, she had no choice but to peel her eyes open, only to find him standing beside her bed and staring down at her with undisguised displeasure in his eyes.
She could not help thinking of what had happened before dinner, and her eyes flickered away guiltily as she stammered, “I’m exhausted tonight, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to serve you. Why don’t you go back to Hidden Dragon Palace and sleep?”
Lu Liangwei had spoken as implicitly as possible, but her words only made Long Yang’s face cloud over, and at the same time, he felt a tinge of discomfort.
He was not here to demand her to sleep with him. What thoughts were going on in that young mind of hers?
Besides, she was the one who had teased him first just now!
His deep eyes narrowed. “I will sleep wherever I want to.”
Lu Liangwei thought for a second before agreeing with him and went silent.
Long Yang was speechless.
Looking at the woman lying under the covers, he felt irritation building up inside him. “Since you can’t serve me tonight, then I’ll call for someone else.”
At his words, Lu Liangwei’s eyes flew open in disbelief, all her fatigue dispelled.
She gripped the covers tightly, but she did not get up. As she listened to the man’s footsteps fading away, she was suddenly overcome with bitterness.
She lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
However, when she remembered that his harem had already been dissolved, she was at ease again.
The next second, another thought popped into her head. Although she was now the only woman in his harem, there were still plenty of beautiful maidservants. If he were to take an interest in them…
She bit her lip, but quickly denied that idea.
No way.
Knowing the Emperor, he was just saying it to provoke her. He would not actually summon someone else to sleep with him.
Despite telling herself that, she continued to toss and turn restlessly in bed.
