BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1479 - 1479 Long Yang Had Already Shown Restraint With His Reaction
Ji’er got up and walked over to sit next to her mother.
Lu Liangwei reached out to hug her around the shoulders and smiled as she said, “Our Ji’er is all grown up now. You’re almost as tall as I am.”
“Mother…” Ji’er suddenly threw herself into Lu Liangwei’s arms despondently.
Lu Liangwei patted her back consolingly. She looked at Ji’er’s pretty face and said a little sadly, “There’s something on your mind but you’re not willing to share it with your mother.”
Ji’er felt a little guilty at those words. She threw her arms around Lu Liangwei’s neck and said hesitantly, “Aren’t you against me having feelings Lil Qi?”
Lu Liangwei raised her eyebrows and asked, “Why would I be against it?”
The light in Ji’er’s eyes dimmed. “It’s because the relationship between Lil Qi and I can be easily slandered. Father was so angry about it. I thought you would be against it too, Mother…”
“Silly girl. You’ve misunderstood your father. He wasn’t mad at you. No one loves you more than he does, but what happened today was a huge blow to him,” Lu Liangwei said softly. Long Yang’s love for Ji’er was the most complicated among their three children. He had always been partial to Ji’er and could not bear to be harsh with her. Whatever happened today was too sudden and he probably had not recovered from the blow.
No matter what, no father could remain calm after watching his daughter feed another man medicine with her mouth.
However, Long Yang had already shown restraint with his reaction.
Ji’er was silent.
Lu Liangwei caressed her hair and said, “You’re already aware that your relationship with Lil Qi would be often slandered if it comes to fruition, yet you’re adamant about going through with it?”
“Mother, do you think that my feelings for Lil Qi came just because I grew up with him? Or because I’m dependent on him?” Ji’er suddenly asked.
Lu Liangwei was taken aback by the question.
It was true that she had thought about it that way.
Ji’er had suddenly claimed she loved Lil Qi and wanted to marry him. From Lu Liangwei’s point of view, these were just the words of a stubborn little girl who refused to be persuaded.
They had not seen each other for five years. Aside from their relationship when Ji’er was young, how could they have developed other feelings?
However, Lu Liangwei was feeling unsure now after seeing how determined Ji’er was.
She could see the confident and serious look in Ji’er’s eyes.
Lu Liangwei’s silence informed Ji’er that she had guessed correctly.
That was truly what her mother was thinking.
She smiled bitterly. “Mother, I genuinely like Lil Qi a lot. It’s not how you and Father think it is—that it’s caused by my dependency on Lil Qi. I have gotten used to having Lil Qi by my side since I was young, which was why I relied on him, but Lil Qi has been away for five years. My dependency on him is long gone. When we met again, the blurred memories of him became clear instantly. I’m positive that I like Lil Qi and he is the only person I want to marry in this life.”
Lu Liangwei felt mixed emotions as she listened to her daughter articulate clearly how much she liked Lil Qi.
She did not object to Ji’er liking Lil Qi, but this was happening much too suddenly for her.
Her daughter was only fifteen and there was already someone in her heart.
Lu Liangwei was silent for a long time before saying, “Ji’er, we all know what sort of man Lil Qi is. I won’t stop you from liking him, but tell me the truth. What exactly happened between both of you last night? How did Lil Qi get hurt so seriously?”
The mention of last night made Ji’er fall silent. She bit her lips, too ashamed to talk about it.
Lu Liangwei did not hurry her and poured her a cup of water.
She wanted to clarify if this relationship was a one-sided love from Ji’er.
