Lu Liangwei instantly laughed and nudged Chu Jiu’s arm. “I told you that my big brother would be mesmerized by you. I was right!”
Chu Jiu’s face flushed redder.
Lu Liangwei was worried any extra teasing would scare Chu Jiu off, so she stopped making fun of her. She walked toward Lu Tingchen instead and took Ji’er from him. “Big Brother, I was the one who prepared the dress Jiu is wearing. I also styled her hair.”
“I always knew Weiwei is the most caring person.” Lu Tingchen praised her generously, but his eyes never left Chu Jiu.
Lu Liangwei chuckled and said to the Dowager Duchess, “Just look at Big Brother, Grandmother. He isn’t even looking at you.”
The Dowager Duchess sighed and pretended to be unhappy. “He only has eyes for his future wife now. There is no room for an old woman like me.”

He sighed and said exasperatedly. “Well, it’s because your grandson has finally met the girl of his dreams after so many years. So there is temporarily no room in my eyes for my grandmother, which is quite understandable, don’t you agree?”
Lu Liangwei and the Dowager Duchess looked at each other when they heard this. They could hardly hold in their laughter.
“Alright, alright. You should have a chat here. I’ll go inside with Weiwei.” The Dowager Duchess waved them off happily and went inside with Weiwei, giving them some privacy.
When there was no one left outside with them, Lu Tingchen finally strode forward and attempted to pull Chu Jiu into his arms.
“Stop it!” Chu Jiu realized what he was trying to do and warned him in a low voice. She quickly moved backward, but did not realize that there was a pillar behind her. When she backed away, she had forced herself into a corner instead.
Lu Tingchen raised an eyebrow and took one wide stride forward. He took the opportunity to push her against the pillar.
“You look so pretty, Jiu!” He sighed softly and caressed her cheek. He lowered his head and pecked her on the lips.
Chu Jiu’s eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief. “Are you crazy? His Majesty and the others are in there. What if…”
“They won’t come out here.” Lu Tingchen smiled and said confidently, “Weiwei is good at reading the mood.”
Chu Jiu was taken aback. Her hands pushed against his chest, stopping him from getting closer. She turned her face away and said, “That doesn’t mean you can do anything you want.”
Lu Tingchen stared at her red ears. He wanted to have a nibble, but he held himself back in the end.
He gave a low sigh. “Jiu…” He dragged the word out, revealing how exasperated he felt.
Chu Jiu’s heart trembled when she heard this. She hesitated before turning to look at him. “What’s wrong?”
“Do you have any idea how much I’ve missed you?” Lu Tingchen’s gaze turned to her bright, red lips. He gulped.
Chu Jiu’s face turned red when she heard such a direct confession from him. She could not help saying, “What is there to miss when we are together every day?”
“We may be together every day, but my mother and the others are always with us too,” Lu Tingchen said in exasperation. He was not able to make advances on Chu Jiu under such circumstances.

“How could wanting to kiss you be vulgar?” Lu Tingchen frowned and did not agree with her choice of words.
Liking someone meant thinking about them all the time. Was it wrong to want to kiss and hold her?
Chu Jiu did not want to continue arguing about this. She pushed his arms away. “Hurry up and get inside. The banquet is about to start.”
Lu Tingchen pressed himself against her. He did not agree and frowned as he said, “I don’t want to. I have to leave the Palace once the banquet is over. It will be difficult to see you after that.”
When he was acting so clingy, Chu Jiu could not connect the man before her to the Heir Apparent Lu who had always been righteous, cold, and disciplined.
The person in front of her was quite childish, although she did not find it quite off-putting.
Thinning about what he said about them potentially being unable to see each other later, her heart softened and she reached out to hug him around the waist. She cajoled him gently, “I’ll go and see you the moment I get the chance.”
Lu Tingchen’s tall body trembled at the touch of the woman’s soft hands around his waist. His heart fluttered, but he held himself back and said, “Kiss me, then.”
