Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Chapter 837 It Was Almost Like An Obsession

“Prince Jin!” His subordinate called out in worry.

Prince Jin suffered from a pathogenic cold and now, he was immersed in ice water. This would only escalate his condition.

His subordinate was in a panic.

“Get out.” Wanyan Jin shut his eyes as he leaned against the bathtub. His voice sounded foreboding

“Yes, My Liege.” His subordinate had no choice but to leave.

The Grand Duke Mansion.

It was now past one in the morning and the Dowager Duchess could not take it any longer. She turned toward her son and daughter-in-law to say, “Alright, it’s late now. You should both leave now to take some rest. I’m going to turn in too.” Lu Hetian and Ling Lihua had no choice but to get up. “We’ll be leaving then.”

They walked out one after the other.

The Dowager Duchess sighed once they left. She held Aunt Lan’s hand and walked toward her room.

“Those two children would probably share the bed tonight, right?”

Aunt Lan replied teasingly, “Why are you being so anxious about this? Are you looking forward to another grandchild?” The Dowager Duchess laughed. “If they are able to have one, I’d be pleased.”

Aunt Lan laughed as she shook her head.

Lu Hetian and Ling Lihua did not say a word after leaving Longevity Hall.

They had both been drinking but had consumed sobering soup when they returned, which was why they were not drunk at all.

Lu Hetian slowed down enough for Ling Lihua to catch up. He suddenly took the courage to hold her hand.

Ling Lihua struggled for a second, but he held on tighter. She glared ferociously at him. “Let

go!”

Lu Hetian was quite determined this time. “I won’t let go.”

Ling Lihua was furious. She threw a punch directly at his chest.

However, Lu Hetian did not loosen his grip. Instead, he just stood where he was without flinching

Ling Lihua was shocked and she quickly withdrew her internal strength, so when the punch landed on his body, there was only a muffled sound. It did not cause any real harm.

Even then, Ling Lihua still frowned. “Why didn’t you avoid it?”

Lu Hetian’s eyes darkened and his tone was sorrowful and helpless. “Lihua, I’ve done so many things that have hurt you. It was all my fault for letting you suffer all these years. Hit me and scold me however you want. The only thing I beg of you is to not leave me again.”

Ling Lihua was silent and said nothing.

When he noticed that she did not pull away when he got closer, Lu Hetian could not help but reach out to touch her hair. He said softly, “Lihua, we’re no longer young. We shouldn’t be wasting any more time. Can… Can you forgive me? I promise to spend the rest of my life treating you well, and I would never do anything to hurt you.”

Even though he tried his best to hide it when he was saying those words, he still could not stop himself from revealing how insecure and unsettled he felt.

Ling Lihua’s emotions were a mess.

She knew that she could no longer hate him after finding out about the truth all those years ago. If not for her being worried about the Dowager Duchess being home alone, she would have already acted rashly and gone looking for Lu Hetian at the frontier.

It was because of the words he said to her the night before he left for battle that had touched her greatly.

What hit her the hardest that night was the moment he buried his face into her neck, shedding thick tears. This action had shocked her.

Lu Hetian had always been a steely and stoic man, but he had cried without reservation that day.

This was a moment that she could never wave off. Her heart of stone had slowly begun to feel something for him.

She might not have expressed anything on the surface when she found out about this return, but she had felt joyous in her heart.

However, her happy mood had been quickly destroyed by Wanyan Luosang.

Ling Lihua lifted her face and looked at the man’s determined, handsome face as she suddenly felt a sudden pinch in her heart.

She had once loved this man very much, it was almost like an obsession.

That was why when she found out that he had cheated on her, her massive love for him transformed entirely into hate.

She thought she could let it go when she left all those years ago, but it had continued to be a thorn in her heart.

She had hated him for fifteen years, and had tormented herself for fifteen years.
