Part Three

In the six to seven years that Li Xueyue had spent in Hanjian, she had only seen the Li Family a few times. It was inevitable. With her position as the Empress of Hanjian, travel was practically impossible. It was the same for her parents. Whenever their children would travel to visit their maternal grandmothers, their carriage would always be heavily guarded.

"Don't walk so fast," Yu Zhen demanded. 

Yu Zhen grabbed Li Xueyue's wrist before she could run off—as fast as a pregnant woman could. Her legs could easily get caught in her long skirt and she'd trip. Just the thought of that terrified him.

Li Xueyue smiled up at him with amusement twinkling in her eyes. He had always been overprotective of her despite the years that went by.

"Aunt Yueyue!" a loud voice called out, as she dashed away from one aunt to the next. The little girl ran forward, seizing the opportunity to see her.
