Lu Liangwei straightened up and scanned him from head to toe.
Noticing the shadows under his eyes and his wan complexion, she quickly figured out the reason and asked with concern, "Did you not sleep well last night, Your Majesty?"
Hearing this, Long Yang looked a little uncomfortable. "I slept very well. There is no need to worry about me."
Lu Liangwei cast him a glance and nodded. "That's good to hear. If there's nothing else, I'll excuse myself first." She then turned to leave with Zhu Yu and Chu Jiu.
Long Yang furrowed his brow, feeling a sense of displeasure and disappointment at being abandoned there by her.
The feeling soon gave way to panic and disquiet.
His eyes dimmed.
Seeing that the girl was about to pass him by, he instinctively shot out his arm, pulled her into his embrace, and said domineeringly, "Did I say you could leave?"
It was a wholly subconscious move and was, in fact, a little rough.
