1822 Considering That She May Not Have Gotten Proper Rest Last Night

His reminder immediately set Hexin’s cheeks on fire, and she turned her back on him, determined to ignore him.

Flustered, Hexin hastily caught his hand. “No!”

With a chuckle, Long Yin leaned over and whispered suggestively in her ear, “We’ll leave it for tonight, then.”

Hexin shuddered in fear at the meaning hidden in his words. She shoved him away and sat up rapidly.

She was only dressed in an inner garment—Long Yin had put it on her after last night. However, the straps were not properly fastened, and when she sat up, the garment slipped off her shoulder, revealing her snow-white skin and the pink marks peppering it.

At the sight, Long Yin’s bottomless eyes darkened once again.

When Hexin realized what was happening and tried to adjust her clothes, she found herself being pinned to the bed once more.

Fortunately, Long Yin only kissed her and did not take things further.

Hexin was flushed and panting, but she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

“I’ll spare you for now since we’re expected to serve tea later,” Long Yin murmured huskily against her lips.

His words sent Hexin’s heart palpitating, and she hurriedly pushed against his chest, feigning ignorance.”We’ll be late if we don’t get up now.”

Long Yin spared her as he had promised and even smoothed down her clothes for her considerately.

When they arrived at Grand Phoenix Palace after getting dressed, Long Yang and Lu Liangwei were already waiting for them. Sitting beside them were Chu Qi, Ji’er, Beitang You, and Yaoyao.

They had come back to attend Long Yin and Hexin’s wedding yesterday.

The smile on Lu Liangwei’s face never wavered since the moment they entered.

“Xinxin, come sit here.” She beckoned to her warmly.

This was Hexin’s first time meeting Long Yang and Lu Liangwei as their daughter-in-law, and the change in her identity made her cheeks flush slightly with the bashfulness of a newlywed bride.

Instead of taking a seat beside Lu Liangwei right away, she and Long Yin knelt on the mats that had been laid out before them.

Once Long Yin’s turn was over, she picked up the cup of tea prepared by the servants, held it high above her head, and presented it to Long Yang deferentially. “Please have tea, Father.”

While Long Yan did not show as much enthusiasm and joy as Lu Liangwei, there was a hint of warmth on his face. He accepted the cup, took a symbolic sip, and then handed her the gift he had prepared in advance.

“I’ll remember that, Father,” Long Yin answered obediently.

“Please have tea, Mother.”

Lu Liangwei received the cup and took a sip as a symbolic gesture as well. Then, she placed her gift into Hexin’s hands and helped her up, saying gently, “We’re all one family now; there’s no need for all these formalities. From now on, just act comfortably around us.” She paused, looking at Hexin’s lovely face, and beamed. “I sincerely wish you and Yin’er a loving and harmonious marriage, and I hope you will live together happily forever.”

Hexin nodded shyly. “Thank you, Mother.”

After that, the entire family sat together for breakfast.

Considering that Hexin may not have gotten proper rest last night, Lu Liangwei instructed Long Yin, “Yin’er, Xinxin must be exhausted from all the wedding ceremony rituals yesterday. Why don’t you take her back to rest? You don’t have to join us for lunch; you can come over at night for dinner.”
