Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huangfu Lingyao enjoyed her massaging his face; it was a close encounter with her delicate skin! Little did he know, his blissful expression appeared to Liu Shimei like a silly dog enjoying its master’s caresses.

She asked with a playful smile, “What’s the matter?”

He immediately looked proud, but as he spoke, his confidence dwindled, “After you left the palace this afternoon, Brother Crown Prince came… and I… thoroughly… provoked him…”

Initially cheerful, his tone faltered, and his words became stuttered.

Oh my god!

How could he not think of such a crucial question? “Wife, you weren’t out for long, and he showed up… So, did you happen to run into him outside?”

Liu Shimei couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She playfully tapped his forehead and said, “Yes, I did run into him. Besides greeting the Crown Prince politely, I didn’t say anything else to him. Are you satisfied?”

Her eyes were filled with indulgence, which made Huangfu Lingyao overjoyed. The smile that had faded returned to his face. He continued with their previous conversation, “That’s perfect! Let me tell you, Wife! Brother Crown Prince actually said that marrying me has been a hindrance to your happiness. He claimed that I can’t make you happy! Hahaha…”

He burst into laughter, and his gaze shifted to meet Liu Shimei’s eyes as she looked down at him. He maintained a serious expression and asked, “Wife, do you think he’s incredibly funny?”

“Yes, it’s quite funny,” Liu Shimei replied, echoing her silly dog’s words.

She wanted to say: You’re the one who’s really funny.

But to preserve the silly dog’s self-esteem, she didn’t say it out loud. Instead, she marveled inwardly, ‘The Crown Prince is really persistent. Is he still dreaming of marrying Liu Yan’er first and letting Liu Yan’er reserve a place for me? But why doesn’t he ask if I’m willing? Just the thought of him marrying Liu Yan’er is disgusting enough. He will have two concubines at once! There will be countless other maids in the future. After he ascends the throne as emperor, with the three palaces and six courts… Never mind being a concubine, I wouldn’t even agree to be Empress!’

“Right, right?” Crown Prince Huangfu Lingyao sneered, “He’s shameless. If I handle him, he’ll be utterly defeated!”

“How did you handle him, then?” Liu Shimei chuckled. She didn’t need him to say; she knew that with his dog-like temperament, he must have driven the Crown Prince crazy.

Not to mention someone as humble and virtuous as Huangfu He, even shameless people like Yu Wanqing were infuriated by his few words!

Seeing his wife interested, Huangfu Lingyao recounted the incident of how he dealt with Huangfu He.

In the end, he added, “Wife, I scolded him like that. You’re not unhappy, are you?”

Liu Shimei was taken aback and asked in confusion, “Unhappy? Why would I be unhappy because of these things?”

Her genuine bewilderment made Huangfu Lingyao feel at ease. ‘So, my wife truly doesn’t like Huangfu He anymore? But why did she like him before? Maybe she was not just blind but also brainless!’

In his heart, he praised himself thoroughly. ‘Fortunately, I intercepted him at a critical moment. Speaking of which, I really need to thank Huangfu Yao!’

He hadn’t seen Huangfu Yao frolicking around in front of him for quite a while.

Once he locked-in his wife to himself, he would deal with that foolish person at his own pace!

With various thoughts running through his mind, he maintained a cheerful expression and said, “Wife is truly amazing!”

Pausing for a moment, he added, “Wife, my hand can’t move. Can you hold it?”

Liu Shimei hesitated for a moment and then said, “…Sure!”

When his wife gently held his hand, the silly puppy became ecstatic!
