Chapter 230: Was He Allowed To Hold A Girl’s Hand So Casually Just Because He Was The Emperor?

Lu Liangwei could not follow his thoughts.

Why did he suddenly want to go fishing?

Could she decline his invitation?

“Your Majesty, is the wound on your hand okay?” She was hinting a reminder at him. How could he fish when his hand is hurt?

Long Yang darted a glance at his bandaged left hand. He swung his right hand nonchalantly while holding onto her hand. “This hand is fine, isn’t it?”

Lu Liangwei, “…”

Her fingers stiffened as she stared at her hand being held.

He seemed to be getting more at ease with holding her hand.

Was he allowed to hold a girl’s hand so casually just because he was the Emperor?

Lu Liangwei criticized him quietly.

Long Yang noticed her acting obedient and compliant, but the look in her eyes had revealed her annoyance.

A small smile appeared on his lips. He did not take it to heart.

Even though this cheeky girl might act mature and wise at times, but at the end of the day, she was but a child.

Moreover, she was a treasure to her family who pampered her silly, and she has never been bullied.

She must be feeling particularly unhappy right now, but he could not bear letting her go just like that. There was nothing much he could do but let Second Miss Lu suffer this for a little while longer.

Zhao Qian immediately gave orders for fishing tools to be prepared when he heard the Emperor wishing to fish.

When they arrived at the lake behind the mountains, Long Yang finally let go of Lu Liangwei’s hand.

Zhao Qian had already prepared a small stool for Lu Liangwei to sit on.

Lu Liangwei looked at the cushion placed on the stool and immediately sat down without thinking twice.

Long Yang had already prepared the fishing pole. He turned back to look at her. “Do you want to fish?”

Lu Liangwei did not enjoy fishing. Fishing required a tremendous amount of patience. She would rather walk up the mountains to take a look and see if she could dig up some herbs instead of sitting there to fish.

She shook her head. “I’m fine. You should go ahead, Your Majesty.”

Long Yang did not push her. He threw the line into the water and sat there without moving.

Lu Liangwei sat down and after a while, she felt bored and could not help yawning.

Zhao Qian was considerate enough to serve her some dried fruit and desserts.

Lu Liangwei felt a little tired. She was worried she would end up dozing off, so she grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate and starting eating them in a carefree manner.

Seeing that Long Yang was not watching her, she gradually relaxed and started to snack faster on the melon seeds. She spat the shells onto the grass without inhibition. It was just as well for the shells to become fertilizer for the earth.

She was enjoying her snack so much that she failed to notice Long Yang suddenly turning around to see what she was doing. There was a small smile on his face.

He had never seen anyone eating melon seeds with such speed.

The seed shells were spat out from her little, bright, red lips, but she did not look unseemly at all. Instead, she looked quite adorable.

The sun was not blazing today and the warm rays made her felt drowsy.

Lu Liangwei rubbed her eyes. She was feeling quite sleepy. She lifted her head to look at the man sitting in front of her and hesitated. He would not catch her taking a nap if it was just a while, would he?!

She put down the melon seeds in her hand and laid back against a tree. She found a comfortable posture and closed her eyes to take a short nap.

However, the moment she shut her eyes, she fell asleep.

The breeze was very gentle and the sunshine was warm. She started dozing off, and ended up sleeping deeply.

Long Yang noticed there was a cease of activity behind him and turned back to look, only to see that the young girl had fallen asleep against a tree.

When Zhao Qian saw him stand up, he quickly brought everyone along with him and retreated knowingly.

Long Yang approached Lu Liangwei and took off his outer robe, covering her with it.

He stood there, watching her for a while before returning to his place to fish.

Lu Liangwei did not sleep for too long as she was patted awake by Long Yang.

Her sleepy eyes opened. She looked at him in a daze before realizing where she was.

Long Yang smiled at the confused look on her face. “You’ll feel uncomfortable if you sleep this way.”

Lu Liangwei nodded because she was already feeling uncomfortable.

Her back felt stiff against the tree and her legs were numb.

She was about to stand up when she saw the outer robe on her.

She hesitated before handing it back to him. “Your clothes, Your Majesty. Thank you.”
