Chapter 640: If You Don’t Like It, I’ll Let You Go

“Alright.” Lu Liangwei nodded in agreement.

When they entered the bedchamber, Long Yang pulled Lu Liangwei along as he headed straight for the bathroom.

“If you’re feeling chilly, you should soak in hot water. You’ll feel better.”

Lu Liangwei paused, but did not reject him.

When they got into the bathroom, Long Yang’s hands instinctively reached down to remove Lu Liangwei’s belt.

However, a thought crossed his mind and he quickly pulled his hand away. All he did was pat her shoulder and smile as he said, “I’ll leave first. Just shout for me if you need anything.”

Lu Liangwei was taken aback and looked at him with slight surprise.

Long Yang said nothing more as he turned to leave the bathroom.

Lu Liangwei got even more suspicious about this.

His Majesty would never act so gentlemanly on a normal day, yet he was being so polite today. She felt this to be quite strange.

She removed her dress and walked into the pool. She was still a little guarded as His Majesty was still outside. So, she did a simple soak and got up to put her clothes back on before walking out.

When she exited the bathroom, she saw Long Yang had fallen asleep on the soft bed in the outer room.

His forehead was propped up on one of his hands. His long, dark hair hung from his shoulders, covering half of his face.

Lu Liangwei approached him when she saw this. She nudged his arm gently. “Your Majesty, you should sleep on the bed.”

Long Yang opened his eyes and looked at her with his deep, mysterious eyes. After that, his long, thick eyelashes blinked once as he spoke in a husky tone, “Are you done bathing?”

“Yup, I’m done.” Lu Liangwei nodded.

She continued to urge him, “Your Majesty, if you’re really tired, you should quickly get onto the bed for some sleep.”

Long Yang stared at the girl’s beautiful features from up-close and suddenly reached out to caress her petite face. His voice was sweet and filled with warmth. “Wait for me in bed. I’ll join you after I’m done with my bath.”

Lu Liangwei’s heart fluttered as she lowered her eyes and nodded. “Alright.”

It was only after Long Yang entered the bathroom that Lu Liangwei picked up a book and headed to the inner room.

Long Yang did not take too long as he came out very quickly.

He had changed into a white inner garment. His long, dark hair fell all around his shoulders and back.

His collar was a little loose and it revealed his solid muscles and sexy collarbone.

Lu Liangwei’s gaze moved downward as she shifted to the side.

Long Yang sat along the bed and plucked the book from her hands. He asked, “Why don’t we sleep now?”

Lu Liangwei nodded. “Alright.”

Long Yang smiled at her as he got up to blow out a few lights in the room. He left two lights by the bed burning as he turned to settle down in bed.

After drawing down the gauze netting, the lighting darkened around the bed.

Lu Liangwei blinked a few times before her eyes adjusted to the darkness.

She lay down and felt the space next to her sink a little. Long Yang had also laid down.

The next thing she knew, his strong arms reached over and pulled her into his arms.

Lu Liangwei’s body stiffened from nervousness.

Long Yang paused for a moment when he noticed how nervous she was. He patted her back gently. “If you don’t like it, I’ll let you go.”

With that, he released her and placed her back where she had been laying.

Lu Liangwei should have felt relieved, but when she heard his words, she once again felt that His Majesty was acting strange today.

She said softly, “It isn’t that I don’t like it..”

It was just that it made her feel a little nervous.

Long Yang laughed softly as he suddenly said, “But I don’t want you hurting yourself again because you don’t want to be with me.”

Lu Liangwei turned and looked blankly at him.

Unfortunately, the lighting was too dark for her to see the expression on his face clearly.

However, she was not stupid. When he said those words, she quickly made the connection.

No wonder he had not been visiting Grand Phoenix Palace these few days.

It was because he believed that those rashes on her were self-inflicted in order not to be with him.
