"Very well." Long Yin got to his feet and looked at Hexin. "Xinxin, let's go back."
Hexin felt everyone's eyes instantly shift to her. A wave of embarrassment engulfed her at once, turning her face as radiant as a flower in full bloom.
She stood up and said to Long Yang and Lu Liangwei, "In that case, I'll excuse myself now."
"All right. Come back again at night." Lu Liangwei nodded, beaming.
Hexin followed Long Yin out through the doors.
Due to her nerves and the weakness in her legs, she lost her footing at the exit and lurched forward abruptly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis startled Lu Liangwei and the others. Fortunately, Long Yin heard her stumble and caught her just in time.
Hexin's heart pounded wildly as she struggled to recover from the fright.
To her chagrin, Long Yin chuckled and said, "Maybe you should let me hold onto you as you walk."
Hexin wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole.
How mortifying!
She did not dare glance over her shoulder at everyone else's faces, but she could not bring herself to refuse Long Yin's help in front of them either.
Watching the newlywed couple leave, Lu Liangwei burst out laughing and sighed wistfully. "How wonderful it is to be young!"
Long Yang shot her a look. "I'm the one who should be saying that."
Lu Liangwei paused for a second before grinning at him. "It's too early to say that. You're still in your prime." Rising, she said to Yaoyao and Ji'er, "It's been a long time since the three of us spent time together. Come with me for a stroll in the imperial garden—it looks absolutely gorgeous in springtime. Lil Qi and Youyou can stay and have tea with your father." With that, she took each of her daughters by the hand and led them out of Grand Phoenix Palace.
Long Yang watched her leave through narrowed eyes.
Outside Grand Phoenix Palace, Chu Xin piped up clearly from her spot in Ji'er's arms, "Grandmother, I want to play with Aunt Hexin."
Lu Liangwei squeezed her cheek, smiling. "Aunt Hexin needs to rest; she doesn't have time to play with you. You can visit her another day."
"But it's still morning. Why does she need to rest? She's not a kid—only kids need to sleep a lot." Chu Xin was puzzled.
Yaoyao chortled. "That's because Aunt Hexin was worn out last night and needs to get some beauty sleep now."

"I wasn't talking nonsense; I was only telling the truth. Besides, I barely even said anything. You didn't have to get so flustered." Unfazed, Yaoyao opened her arms to Chu Xin. "Come here and let me carry you."
Chu Xin was very fond of her Aunt Yaoyao, who closely resembled her own mother, and she immediately stretched out her tiny arms happily.
However, before Yaoyao could pick her up, she suddenly retched.
Grimacing, Yaoyao hastily dashed to a flowerbed nearby.
Alarmed, Lu Liangwei and Ji'er rushed after her.
After leaning against a tree and vomiting for a while, Yaoyao felt much better, albeit a little weary.
Seeing her daughter's pale complexion, Lu Liangwei already had an idea of what was wrong and quickly reached out to take her pulse.
Ji'er, who had experienced the same thing before, also figured out Yaoyao's condition and waited for her mother to make the announcement with bated breath.
Some time later, Lu Liangwei withdrew her hand and regarded Yaoyao with an indescribable expression. "When was your menstruation last month?"
Yaoyao had knowledge of medicine herself, and when she linked her mother's question to her symptoms, she soon realized the answer. She answered weakly, "It's been delayed by ten days. I thought it was caused by fatigue from traveling, so I didn't pay much attention to it."
