Liu Shimei replied without a word, “What benefit would I gain from deceiving you? When have I ever deceived you?”
Huangfu Lingyao thought for a moment and realized that she never had.
His wife was very serious about her promises, unlike him. He had lied to her countless times, every day!
Reluctantly, he took out his pouch, but he still seemed unwilling to trust her. He said, “I’ll do it myself!”
“Alright,” Liu Shimei was accommodating. She smiled and said, “I’ll go change my clothes, you get everything ready. Make sure nothing is missing. This is my exclusive recipe, missing even one ingredient might make it ineffective.”
The silly puppy obediently agreed, “Okay.”
Turning his head, he saw her heading to the dressing screen. She retrieved the clothes she was going to change into from the wardrobe behind it.
Looking at her, he could not help but think, ‘She doesn’t even hesitate to change her clothes in front of me. Doesn’t she care about me at all? Does she really think I’m such a fool that she doesn’t need to be discreet with me? Such a pure-hearted wife, I almost feel bad for making a move on her. She might think I’m a brute!’
As he continued preparing the herbs, he occasionally glanced at the silhouette behind the dressing screen. Although it was a double-sided embroidery screen, it could not completely block his view. He could see her movements.
Her actions were like a beautiful silhouette painted on the screen.
Huangfu Lingyao caught a glimpse of her curves and quickly turned his head away.
It wasn’t that he considered himself a gentleman, and he certainly did not adhere to a gentleman’s code when it came to his own woman. He had not only seen but also experienced her body. So, it wasn’t embarra.s.sment that made him look away.
What he feared was that if he kept looking, he might lose control, and things would get out of hand!
The days leading up to their wedding were unbearably long!
Unfortunately, the old-fashioned Emperor insisted on arranging his marriage after the Crown Prince’s!
Really, he could not fathom why it had to be this way. Could it be because of Huangfu He’s request?
He could not rule out that possibility!
After changing into her attire, Liu Shimei came out. Emperor Lingyao had already packed all the medicinal herbs. She double-checked to make sure nothing was left out and began tying the cords to fasten them to his belt.
However, Emperor Lingyao halted his actions.
“What’s wrong?” Liu Shimei tilted her head in puzzlement.
“Wife, can you sew up this opening? There’s nothing else to put in here anyway.” He pouted, no longer throwing a tantrum, behaving like a well-behaved pet.
Liu Shimei thought for a moment. It wasn’t a big deal, so she agreed, “Alright, just wait a moment.”
She took out her sewing kit and quickly closed the opening for him.
Now, the silly dog was finally happy and tied the purse containing his wife’s belongings around his waist.
But when he looked at Liu Shimei’s hair, which was now a bit shorter, he could not help feeling uneasy!
Seeing his expression, Liu Shimei could not help but smile and said, “Alright, you go change your clothes and freshen up quickly. After our lunch, we still have to visit the Zhang family.”
“Yes, Wife!”
After saying this, Emperor Lingyao was about to leave but hesitated. He turned back, reached out to touch her hair, and then bent down to kiss her on the temple.
Then, like an excited puppy, he turned and ran!
Liu Shimei was speechless.
After that kiss on her temple, she felt a warm and affectionate feeling. What was going on in his mind?
She could not ask: What does it mean when you kiss my temple?
So, she had to let it go.
However, this small gesture made her unable to stop the smile on her lips, which stayed there until they arrived at the Zhang Residence.
After having lunch, they set off for the Zhang Residence.
Since he had gotten engaged, Huangfu Lingyao had been grooming himself meticulously every day. He looked completely different from a stray dog, now more like a domesticated pet.
When they arrived at the Zhang family’s mansion, they both looked very presentable.
But after they arrived at the Zhang Residence, they discovered an unexpected guest they had hoped to avoid!
