1685 Lu Liangwei Had Never Felt So Much Pain For Him Before This
Lu Liangwei’s heart ached when she saw how haggard he was.
His hurt and sorrow were deeper than hers, but he could only hold it in and did not dare to show it.
Long Yang had always blamed himself for what happened with Ji’er. How sad he must be now that Ji’er was gone.
She suddenly stood up and knelt by the bed. Her arms circled his shoulder.
“Everything is going to be fine. Ji’er will turn out okay and nothing is going to happen to her. We’ll find her. I’ll leave with you tomorrow in the search for Ji’er.”
Long Yang felt a warmth in his heart. He felt fortunate that his wife could understand him.
He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. “Weiwei, you should leave with Yin’er and the others to the imperial capital tomorrow and wait for my news. It’s enough with me and Lil Qi leading the search.”
Lu Liangwei hesitated, but she knew that her physical tolerance could not compare to the men. If she joined the search forcefully, it would only delay their journey. She had no choice but to nod in agreement. “Alright, but it’s a big world out there and it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. It’s not going to be easy to find someone determined to hide from us. This search might end up being a waste of time and energy. As for matters of the imperial court…
“Yin’er will be there to take charge of anything happening at the imperial court. I’ve already given him the approval to manage it. He has grown up now and it’s time for him to handle things independently,” said Long Yang.
Lu Liangwei stopped worrying when she heard that. “Let’s do that since you’ve already made arrangements, but you have to remember to be careful. I’ll be waiting at the imperial capital for you and Ji’er to return.” She took out a token of authority for the House of Swallow Snow while she spoke. “The House of Swallow Snow is good at finding people. Bring them along with you.”
“Alright.” Long Yang did not reject this and took the token from her. All he wanted to do now was to quickly find Ji’er no matter what it took.
That night, husband and wife hugged each other to sleep.
They had rushed all the way to West Water Frontier for the past few days and did not manage to rest much. They were physically exhausted, yet they were not able to go to sleep now.
Husband and wife were both worried about Ji’er.
Even though Ji’er had learned martial arts skills since young and ordinary thugs would not be able to get near her, it was still the first time Ji’er had left home. Moreover, she was hurt and they were worried she would be overcome by the sadness and give up on herself, uninterested to be cautious of her surroundings and protect herself from bad people.
Lu Liangwei sighed softly.
Long Yang heard her and lowered his eyes to look at her. “Stop thinking about it and go to sleep. You must be tired from the long journey.”
Lu Liangwei shook her head. “I’ve already taken a nap during the day. I don’t feel very tired. You’re the one who have not shut your eyes for the last few days and you need to find Ji’er tomorrow. Hurry up and sleep. You shouldn’t continue thinking about this now things have already happened.”
“You’re right,” Long Yang replied and hugged her to sleep.
Lu Liangwei eventually fell asleep as she listened to his breathing.
However, when she woke up in the middle of the night, the s.p.a.ce next to her was now cold. Long Yang was not there.
She was about to sit up when she saw a figure standing by the window.
The lonely light of the moon was s.h.i.+ning on him. It reflected on the ground, making him look even lonesome.
Lu Liangwei had never felt so much pain for him before this.
She got off the bed quietly and took his outer robe, walking behind him and putting it over his shoulders.
“The night is chilly. You’ll catch a cold if you don’t wear enough on you.” She might be berating him, but she was gentle as she covered him with the robe.
Long Yang held her hand and asked apologetically, “Did I wake you up?”
Lu Liangwei shook her head. She reached out to hug him around the waist as she said softly, “Long Yang, can you promise me one thing?”
Long Yang caressed her long hair and nodded gently. “What is it?”
