Chapter 988: Were Those Teeth Marks

Lu Liangwei nestled comfortably in his arms and fell asleep after finding a pleasant position.

Long Yang’s finger gently brushed her eyelids, as if it was never enough no matter how much he stared at her.

He sighed quietly and kissed her on the forehead.

The next day.

Lu Liangwei was still sleeping when Long Yang woke up.

He quietly washed up and left the bedroom.

Zhao Qian was waiting outside and, when he heard the signs of Long Yang coming out, he straightened up respectfully.

His master walked out of the room, looking quite normal, but Zhao Qian’s sharp eyes spotted the red print on his left cheek.

The print was faded, but His Majesty had fair skin and the vague imprint still looked exceptionally clear.

Zhao Qian was standing close to his master and could see it even more clearly. He was tongue-tied. What was His Majesty and Her Highness doing last night?

Were those teeth marks?

On closer look, it did not look like it.

He shook his head and followed his master from behind as they headed for the discussion hall.

…

Thousand Village City.

After she killed Lu Yunshuang, Chen Qiyu essentially stopped going to Thousand Village City. She had been staying at the Chen Village all this while and had never even stepped out of her house.

She figured that Zeng Lunan might return for revenge, so she quickly sold the shops she owned in Thousand Village City.

Even though she had no idea what was the relations.h.i.+p between Lu Yunshuang and the old man, she had a feeling he would search for her to settle the score.

Chen Qiyu rather enjoyed her current life, which was simple and quiet. She did not want to destroy what she had.

She was currently doing some gardening in the backyard when Mei’er came in and after a moment of hesitation, “Miss, Chief Zhao is here again. Do you not want to see him?”

Chen Qiyu paused her tr.i.m.m.i.n.g of the flowers when she heard this, but quickly resumed the next moment. “He’s here to see Father. What has that got to do with me?”

Ever since the incident at Jade Moon Villa where she had revealed to him the entirety of the scandal she was involved in, Zhao Heng had not shown up for a long time.

She a.s.sumed he had given up on her, and quelled any desire he had for her.

However, he returned just a few days ago, and was now coming by quite frequently. He was here almost every day and would stay the whole day if he did.

All of a sudden, he could not fathom what exactly was going through his mind.

By all means, he should be avoiding her once he found out what she had gone through.

She felt a little awkward about it; what happened to her was not something to be proud of. It was a shameful mark that would stick to her for the rest of her life and she would never be able to be rid of it.

Occasionally, she would b.u.mp into Zhao Heng when she was walking to the front of the house. Even though he said nothing, she felt uncomfortable whenever she was in front of him, as if there was nowhere for her to hide from him. Every part of her felt exposed to him and this made her deeply ashamed.

However, Zhao Heng simply stayed in the front hall most of the time, accompanying her father for a game of Go or having tea. She could avoid seeing him completely if she just avoided the front hall and she was greatly relieved about that.

As such, she would never intentionally pa.s.s by the front area if there was nothing important to do. She would usually stay in the backyard and casually spend the entire day there.

Her heart was now as calm as still water; all she wanted was to guard this small piece of land she called home.

Mei’er felt anxious when she heard her reply. “Miss, Chief Zhao is clearly here to see you. Why are you always avoiding him?”

Even a blind man could tell that Chief Zhao was here to see the Miss, but she had no idea what her Miss was thinking by actively avoiding him.

Mei’er felt frustrated on Chen Qiyu’s behalf.

Even though Chief Zhao was a member of the martial arts world, he was still das.h.i.+ng, charming, and good-looking. Aside from not having any political power, he easily exceeded the Prince of Xuyang in terms of character and temperament. Most importantly, Chief Zhao treated her Miss very well.

When her Miss was busy managing her shops in the city, Chief Zhao would always follow behind her, helping her out and trying to get into her good graces.

She could not understand what her Miss was so worried about.
