Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart Chapter 1828 Her Expression Was Filled With Love

Long Yin chuckled softly while seizing her hand. "If you're truly not tired, how about we do something together…"

Her face turned red as Hexin shoved at his chest, trying to sit up. "I won't keep you company."

Long Yin wrapped his arm around her waist. "Stay put. I won't try anything. I just want to hold you close while we nap for a bit."

Hexin sensed his rising playfulness and refused to indulge him. She wriggled within his embrace.

"Stop moving, or I can't promise I won't act on it." Long Yin's tone deepened, laced with evident restraint.

Those words made Hexin freeze in place, afraid to budge.

Long Yin steadied his breathing, then drew her nearer. He stroked her back soothingly. "Good, now let's sleep."

Hexin peeked at him covertly, feeling a quiet relief at the sight of his closed eyes.

The next day.

As He'an and Yuan You prepared to head back to the Yan Kingdom soon, Hexin dispatched a servant to summon them to the Eastern Palace.

A servant ushered Yuan You and He'an into the Eastern Palace. Right away, they spotted a blissful woman soaking up the sun in the garden.

"Big Sis!"

"Cousin Hexin!"

They hurried over to her in a rush.

"You're both here." Hexin tousled He'an's hair and tweaked Yuan You's cheek.

Yuan You pouted right away. "I'm not a kid anymore, Cousin Hexin. Please stop pinching my cheek all the time."

Hexin teased, "Looks like our Youyou has grown up big. My apologies for that."

"Hmph, you always tease me." Yuan You pouted while eyeing Hexin closely. With feeling, she added, "It's just been days since we met, yet you look somewhat changed."

"Changed how? It's the same old me." Unbothered, Hexin guided them inside for tea.

"You're you, yet there's something off about you." Yuan You cocked her head, still staring at Hexin. She asked He'an, "Cousin He'an, do you see anything different in Cousin Hexin?"

He'an eyed Hexin from his seat. He nodded. "Yeah, there's a difference. She seemed like a girl before, but now she's more womanly."

Yuan You spewed her tea out instantly. Bursting into laughter, she smacked the table. "Spot on, Cousin He'an!"

Hexin eyed her little brother irritably. "Can't you say something kind?"

He'an sipped his tea, replying maturely, "Brother-in-law's impressive, right? He made you all womanly in no time."

Yuan You shot Hexin a sly glance upon hearing that.

She hadn't pinpointed it earlier, but He'an's remark made her grasp the shift in her cousin instantly.

Having matured sooner, Yuan You joined Hexin for the wedding procession; else, her grandfather forbade it.

She had some knowledge now of man-woman relations.

Her cousin glowed this way from a man's ardent love, her face brimming with affection.

Hexin knew He'an was young and clueless, his comment innocent, yet it stirred improper ideas in her—stemming from inner guilt. Yuan You's sly look only made her cheeks flame hotter.

"He'an, you're in the Eastern Palace now, so go see your brother-in-law in the study. I'll send someone with you." Hexin shifted the subject.

"Alright." He'an got to his feet.

With He'an escorted to the study by a servant, the room held only them. Yuan You loosened up in her speech.

She plopped down beside Hexin, asking eagerly, "Did your first time hurt, Cousin Hexin?"

Hexin, popping a peeled grape into her mouth, choked on its juice at the question. Blushing furiously, she gawked at Yuan You. "What are you saying?"
