1720 Long Yins Efforts

Lu Xue was not embarra.s.sed by the question, nor did she find it awkward to answer. Instead, she c.o.c.ked her to one side as she began thinking about this seriously.

Yaoyao and Hexin could not help staring at her. They were very curious about what sort of person she liked.

I like men who are gentle. He has to be caring and polite, and take me anywhere I want to go and not curb my freedom. She paused before adding, If its possible, I hope he can become an adopted son-in-law in my family.

Hexin was taken aback. Gentle and polite? Big Bro Long Yins character did not seem to be anywhere near that, nor did he seem like someone who would take her anywhere she wanted. If Lu Xue were to marry into the Palace one day, she would not be able to enjoy life with casual freedom. It was even more impossible for Big Bro Long Yin to become an adopted son-in-law

It looked like Big Bro Long Yin would be facing a tumultuous road ahead in this relations.h.i.+p.

Hexin snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Lu Xue with some astonishment. Why would you want your partner to be an adopted son-in-law?

The look in Lu Xues eyes darkened and she rubbed her cards with her fingers. She said softly, My mother was hurt while giving birth to me back then, and she cant have any more children. The Lu Family only has me. I would like to stay with them and take care of my family.

Yaoyao patted her shoulder. Dont think too much about this, Xueer. Whatever happened back then was an accident and has nothing to do with you. You shouldnt blame yourself too much. Besides, Grandmother and my mother have been helping Aunt Chu Jiu recover her health. I believe shell get well soon and once she does, it might even be possible for her to give birth to a fat, little boy.

Lu Xue laughed. It would be wonderful if such a day arrived. Even though Great-grandmother and the others didnt say anything about it, I know deep down they are a little regretful that Im a girl instead of a boy.

When Hexin heard this, she realized why Lu Xue had wished for the person she got together with to become an adopted son-in-law to the Lu Family.

It was not an easy life for Lu Xue too.

Hexin sighed in her heart.

Judging by Lu Xues preference for a partner, Big Bro Long Yin might not stand a chance.

However, Lu Xue might not have a say in this if Long Yin became Emperor in the future and insisted on Lu Xues hand in marriage.

Hexin patted Lu Xues hand and consoled her. We can talk about the future when the time comes.

Yes. Lu Xue nodded.

The next day.

The three of them headed to Grand Phoenix Palace after cleaning themselves up. They were there to accompany Lu Liangwei for breakfast. It was a rare moment since Long Yin was also present.

His expression was stoic; it was as though the unhappiness he experienced last night had never happened.

Hexin secretly observed him but was caught staring.

A small smile appeared on Long Yins lips. Are you checking whether Ive eaten my fill?

Hexin quickly lowered her head in embarra.s.sment.

Long Yin smiled and turned away. His gaze fell on Lu Xue instead.

He smiled again when he saw Lu Xue looking quite helathy today.

After breakfast, Long Yin stood up and said to three of them, Lets head out.

Lu Xue was curious. Where are we going?

Long Yin said in a gentle tone, I happen to be free today. Ill take all of you to have fun at the imperial holiday home.

Lu Liangwei said with a smile, You should all go. Its rare for Yiner to have spare time like this.

Lu Xue shook her head. I wont be joining. Yaoyao and Xinxin should go on ahead. I have to go home to accompany Great-grandmother.

As you wish. Long Yin glanced at her coldly. His voice was slightly low.

Lu Xue jumped and lifted her gaze, meeting her cousins deep and dark eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and she felt slightly scared.

S-since Cousin Long Yin happens to be free today, I think IllIll join everyone. Her pretty brows were knitted with worry.

Lu Liangwei noticed that something was unusual with her sons tone and was about to say something when Lu Xue suddenly declared that she changed her mind. Lu Liangwei did not think much of it and simply said, Have fun and be careful.

Long Yin nodded. Alright, he said, then glanced at Lu Xue and walked out first.

Hexin watched the awkward exchange between them.

Big Bro Long Yin had probably cleared his schedule today for Big Sis Lu Xues sake.

However, Big Sis Lu Xue did not notice Big Bro Long Yins efforts.
