I wasn’t needed.” Lu Tingchen shirked the responsibility breezily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s getting late. You should go back.” Chu Jiu shot him a disapproving look and said urgingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memory of their lakeside kiss made her nervous, especially when they were alone in an enclosed space like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tingchen knew she was embarrassed, but he could not help wanting to tease her for a bit more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brought his good-looking face close to hers. “I’ll go back if you give me a kiss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearness of his face made Chu Jiu blush, but the sight of his crimson lips seemed to hypnotize her, and she closed the distance between them to give them a peck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tingchen had only meant to tease her—he did not think that she would actually kiss him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, when the girl pressed her soft, sweet lips to his, he went rigid and stared at her blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cheeks burning, Chu Jiu whirled away from him and said in a trembling voice, “Y-you should go now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally recovering his senses, Lu Tingchen straightened up and moved behind her to give her a quick hug. His warm breath grazed her neck, and his voice was low and throaty. “All right. Goodbye, then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Jiu remained frozen until he moved away from her. When his footsteps had finally faded into the distance, she collapsed onto her bed in exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Tingchen came out of Chu Jiu’s tent, his handsome face still carried the trace of a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Ji Lingxiu emerged from the shadows and called out a little hesitantly, “Big Bro Tingchen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tingchen stopped in his tracks, his eyes flickering over to her. The smile on his face had vanished, and he had reverted to his upright yet unapproachable Heir Presumptive mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the matter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Lingxiu gave him a plaintive look. She had clearly seen him smiling when he had come out of the tent just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a few steps closer to him and said dolefully, “I came to the frontier for your sake, Big Bro Tingchen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning, Lu Tingchen stepped back. “We’re not that close, Ji Lingxiu, so don’t call me that. Weiwei’s my one and only little sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Lingxiu was discomfited. “I used to follow you everywhere when we were children—have you forgotten that? Do you hate me just because I picked on Lu Liangwei in the past?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t remember what happened when we were children, but I do detest you,” Lu Tingchen replied bluntly, unconcerned about the potential hurt his words could cause to a young lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Lingxiu teetered slightly, her already pale face turning even whiter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bowing her head, she asked dejectedly, “Do you like Chu Jiu that much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been waiting for Lu Tingchen here since she learned in the daytime that he was not in the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not expected him to return with that woman called Chu Jiu and what was more, they had been laughing and chatting merrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had watched as he walked Chu Jiu back to her tent, only coming out after a long time with a fond and gentle smile on his handsome face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had left her thunderstruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never imagined that a person like Lu Tingchen would fall in love with Chu Jiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she was still too late.\u003C\u002Fp>",697,"2026-06-05T17:36:00.768Z",1,"novelbin.me","5eca6b7c426a9c302d487f78d80a8594522b63cba54cae83b9a28cae12f5561f","transmigrated-as-my-former-uncle-s-sweetheart-chapter-1281","transmigrated-as-my-former-uncle-s-sweetheart-chapter-1279",1833,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigrated-as-my-former-uncle-s-sweetheart-cover.jpg"]
