Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shimei buried her head in her pet dog’s chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, thump, thump, thump…
She felt so secure, as if no matter what storms raged outside, this place was her sanctuary, a harbor where she could find solace.
This feeling, though unconventional for most people, seemed perfectly natural when it came to her pet dog. Despite his simple-mindedness, he gave her a sense of reliance: he was someone she could depend on!
She closed her eyes and held onto him, reluctant to let go.
Huangfu Lingyao certainly enjoyed his wife’s embrace, but he knew her well enough to understand that she wouldn’t usually hold on so tightly. So he inquired, his eyes narrowing thoughtfully, “Wife, you were out the whole day today. Did something happy happen? Tell me about it!”
In reality, he could almost be certain: something unhappy must have happened to her!
She had initially planned to return after having dinner outside, but she came back early. Holding onto him like this for so long, it was indeed strange. If nothing bad had happened, why would she be like this?
So, what unfortunate event had she encountered at the Liu family’s home?
“Nothing happy, just something irritating,” Liu Shimei replied, her eyes closed, still listening to his heartbeat, not wanting to let go.
His embrace was broad, warm, and comforting. Normally, he appeared slim, but in truth, he had a st.u.r.dy physique, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and solid muscles – a true embodiment of strength and vitality, like a robust and hearty Siberian Husky!
Leaning in his embrace, she felt so comfortable that she didn’t want to get up. Compared to a real Husky, the only downside was that there was no fur to stroke!
Huangfu Lingyao calmly said, “Oh, is that so? If something happens, just tell me. Talk about it, and I’ll scold the person together with you. Then you won’t be upset anymore!”
Although he said these words, his eyes carried a hint of darkness: Which b*stard made my wife unhappy again?
To prevent Lian Qiao and Mo’er from suddenly coming in, he quickly restrained his unusual expression and waited for her response.
Liu Shimei pursed her lips and said, “It’s just that something happened with
Liu Yan’er, overall… I won a battle and sent Madam Zhang to the Grand Chancellor’s Temple. It’s considered a happy occasion, right?”
She did win, but she wasn’t happy.
This meant that the process was extremely unpleasant!
Huangfu Lingyao couldn’t help but recall the last time she had suddenly gone to the Imperial Residence in the middle of the night to find him.
Although their relationship had progressed, he didn’t overlook a very important point: she came to him because she was unhappy!
The last time the Liu family upset her hadn’t been settled yet, and now it happened again?
“Alright.” Liu Shimei was reluctant, but she couldn’t keep holding onto him forever.
She let go of Huangfu Lingyao and left his embrace, looking up at him with a smile. “Let’s go, let’s have our meal! After eating, I’ll have Lu Ying bathe you, and then I’ll change your bandages.”
“Okay.” Huangfu Lingyao looked adorable, nodding obediently.
But in his heart…
After the meal, when Lu Ying was bathing him, he suddenly asked, “Where’s Wife?”
My wife didn’t bathe me; it’s a bit regrettable!
Of course, this was just a pa.s.sing thought. Regardless, he was very clear that his wife would never take the initiative to do this before their marriage, especially when there were others who could do it for him.
After they got married, he would coax her and see if she’d give it a try!
Lu Ying replied, “The Eldest Miss is working in the side hall.”
“Wife is working so hard!” Huangfu Lingyao’s words came straight from the heart.
After a moment of thought, he asked, “What about Wood Ear?”
