Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

1463 Of Course Ji’er Would Be Disappointed

The formality of the name “Princess Ji’er” instantly snapped her out of her daze, and the smile rapidly froze on her lips.

She glanced at him coolly with a trace of indignance in her lovely eyes.

All of a sudden, she hated the greeting “long time no see”.

The last time he said this, he had left for a year; now, he had been away for five whole years.

She abruptly let out a soft chuckle, then took a step back.

However, the redness of her lowered eyes gave away her emotions.

Shifting her gaze away, she pursed her lips and entered Jade Dew Hall without a word.

The wind and snow swished her long skirts, making her appear distant and cold.

Her frosty attitude left Chu Qi frozen to the spot.

Her eyes seemed to have been etched with ice and snow, for they chilled him to the bone.

Yaoyao stared after her sister’s aloof figure. She glanced at Chu Qi in bewilderment, then back at Ji’er, and eventually sighed to herself. She walked up to Chu Qi and said softly, “Big Bro Lil Qi, Ji’er waited every day and night for you to return, but you left for five whole years without coming back even once; of course she would be disappointed.”

With a quiet sigh, she turned and ran after Ji’er.

Although Ji’er never mentioned it, Yaoyao knew how upset she had been about the way Lil Qi had left without saying goodbye.

At the same time, however, she had desperately longed for Lil Qi to return early.

Now that Lil Qi was finally back, Ji’er was probably delighted, but she was still aggrieved at his silent departure back then.

Her little sister was truly an awkward person.

Yaoyao’s words roused a wave of indescribable emotions in Chu Qi.

He owed Ji’er a proper goodbye.

Meeting her again after five years made him realize that the little girl engraved in his mind was all grown up.

Although he had always known that this child would grow up to be remarkably beautiful, he was still shocked to see how mature her features had become.

The scene of his encounter with Ji’er just now was still replaying in his mind.

“Lil Qi, Father and Mother will be here soon. Let’s head inside.” Long Yin’s voice brought Chu Qi’s thoughts back to the present.

He turned and looked at the boy before him.

The fourteen-year-old boy had yet to reach Chu Qi’s height, but he exuded tremendous charisma, and there was an air of dignity and grace in his every move.

He took after Long Yang with his handsome features, but also had a touch of exquisiteness that had come from Lu Liangwei.

“After you, Crown Prince!” Chu Qi took a step back courteously.

Long Yang had made Long Yin crown prince the year he turned twelve.

Seeing this, Long Yin sighed to himself but did not say anything. With Beitang You and the rest of his entourage in tow, he entered Jade Dew Hall.

Chu Qi stood outside the entrance for a moment to regain his composure before walking into Jade Dew Hall.

This time, he had returned to report back on his duty and also to escort the Yan Kingdom’s Emperor, Beitang You, to the imperial capital.

Soon, Long Yang and Lu Liangwei arrived at Jade Dew Hall, followed by members of the Grand Duke Family.

All the court officials and their accompanying family members in the hall rose to greet them.

“Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Highness…”

Hand in hand with Lu Liangwei, Long Yang ascended the throne and gestured to the guests. “Rise, my beloved subjects! Today is New Year’s Eve, so please relax and enjoy yourselves. You may take your seats.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty and Your Highness!”

Everyone took their seats in proper order.

Just then, Beitang You performed a fist and palm salute to the Emperor and Empress seated on the throne. “Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Highness. I’d like to wish both of you happiness and good fortune this new year.”

Lu Liangwei’s gaze landed on him, filled with sincere joy.

The child from fourteen years ago had grown into a man and the ruler of a kingdom who wielded power over the lives of many.

Her eyes shimmered with a hint of a smile. “Youyou, you must have had a long and tiring journey here. Don’t stand there—sit down.”

“Thank you, Sister Empress.” Beitang You’s face relaxed into a smile as he responded to her as affectionately as he used to many years ago.

Lu Liangwei was genuinely delighted, and her smile only made her even more stunning and radiant than she already was.

However, it disappeared right away, for a strong arm had clamped itself around her waist.

She leveled a disapproving look at the man, annoyed by the inappropriate timing of his jealousy.

Was she not even allowed to smile? What a dictator!

Exasperated, she pinched him on the waist under the cover of her wide sleeve.

Long Yang narrowed his eyes and shot her a look.

Was she not aware of how captivating she was? How dare she smile like that?
