lie said it seriously and with such solemnity that truth be told, Huangfu Lingyao wanted to burst into laughter, the kind that would make her stomach hurt.
But she resisted the urge, nodding obediently instead. “Sure, I’ll listen to Wife. Please don’t be mad at me.”
Liu Shimei’s breath hitched, she touched her own face, and asked, perplexed, “Was 1 being angry?”
She was still a young girl, had she suddenly put on her mother’s stern expression?
“No, not at all. Wife is the most beautiful!” The silly puppy quickly shook his head, very attuned to her mood.
Liu Shimei shot him a sardonic look. “Did you understand what I just said? If you did, tell me what I said!”
She had just taught her silly puppy a lesson, and now it was time for a test!
Huangfu Lingyao couldn’t possibly not understand. He almost couldn’t hold back his laughter. He reached out to rub his nose, hiding the effort it took to suppress the smile that wanted to curl up his lips. He took another sip of tea and cleared his throat.
Seeing her gazing at him with those mysterious eyes, he quickly said, “I get it! It’s about… umm, intimate things, and I can only do them with Wife. Don’t worry, I won’t like anyone else! Except for Wife and Big Cat, 1 won’t get close to anyone else!”
After some thought, he added, “Oh, and Little Mute!”
Liu Shimei was so amused by his innocence that she burst into laughter. She playfully poked his forehead with her index finger and said, “You, really!”
Her silly dog… this was how he made her happy.
Sometimes, she could not help but think, if Huangfu Lingyao could be like this for the rest of his life, it wouldn’t be a problem at all, would it?
On the contrary, curing him would bring a whole new set of worries as his wife!
With that mesmerizing and clever face of his, if he were a normal man, she’d be worn out just dealing with the admirers.
But for now, let’s turn this page. Huangfu Lingyao asked, “Wife, you mentioned the first matter earlier. Is there a second matter?”
Liu Shimei was momentarily stunned.
To be honest, after that little diversion, she had almost forgotten about the second matter herself. Now that he had brought it up again, she pursed her lips and said, “The second matter is related to Mister Mu from today. I’m wondering, can he be trusted?”
“I can’t help but feel…” Huangfu Lingyao pondered his words carefully and chose the most innocent phrasing, “that his kindness toward Wife is quite weird.”
Liu Shimei was curious, and he harbored some doubts himself!
Currently, it seemed that Liu Shimei had no clue, but he could probe her attitude indirectly for now.
Liu Shimei shook her head. “Well, I can’t exactly say he’s kind, but given his standing in the martial world, he wouldn’t easily trust or help someone. Yet he’s acted strangely kind to me. 1 can’t help but feel that he might have known me for a while now.”
Huangfu Lingyao sneered, saying, “Wife, I won’t oppose you pursuing your own career. But you’re not allowed to get close to him!”
In his mind, he thought, ‘It seems she’s also clueless, so I’ll have to start with Old Mu.’
Of course, Liu Shimei had no idea about his scheming thoughts. She found his statement rather amusing and asked, “What if I get close to someone else?” “You wouldn’t dare!” Huangfu Lingyao’s face turned dark without a second thought, glaring at her.
Then, he realized he had nearly exposed himself, so he quickly switched to a pitiful expression and said, “Wife, am I not obedient enough for you? Do you really want to find someone else?”
Seeing his pitiful expression, Liu Shimei burst into laughter at how adorable he looked. She reached out and pinched his cheek, saying, “My Lingyao is so wonderful, why would I look for anyone else?”
With that, she let out a yawn.
Seeing this, Huangfu Lingyao took the opportunity to say, “Wife, are you tired? Take a nap.”
Liu Shimei nodded. “Yes, that’s a good idea. A short nap, and then we can return to the Imperial Capital.”
After a while, Liu Shimei really fell asleep. Once she was sound asleep, Huangfu Lingyao quietly left the room and headed towards the bamboo cabin.
However, he did not enter the bamboo cabin. Instead, he crossed the cabin and left the estate through a side gate, heading deeper into the peony garden..
