Liu Shimei hadn’t even entered the consultation room yet; she was still in the corridor when she called out.
Originally, he was like a dead dog lying listlessly on a chair. Then, he sprang up the moment he heard her voice from outside.
With a swift turn, there stood her enthusiastic and silly husband!
“Wife, you’re finally back!”
For a long time, the silly puppy hadn’t seen his wife. The moment she returned, she said ‘Lingyao, I’m back’, giving off a distinctly married-couple vibe!
It was akin to a husband who had gone out to work; when he returned home at night and said to his wife, busy cooking in the kitchen, “My dear, I’m back,” that warm feeling enveloped them!
Of course, in the case of Liu Shimei and Huangfu Ling Yao, the roles were reversed.
“Yes,” Liu Shimei had just entered the consultation room, and he immediately enveloped her in a tight hug, which she didn’t resist, and asked with a smile, “Have you had your lunch?”
“I have,” the silly dog replied. Then, he drooped his face and said, “Eating alone is so boring! Even the meatballs I used to like don’t taste good anymore.”
Seeing him like this, Liu Shimei couldn’t help but smile warmly and said, “If you haven’t had enough, later we can go to the restaurant near Yong’an Inn. After we finish the official business, I’ll take you for a stroll on the main street and buy some delicious food?”
Spoiling him, spoiling him thoroughly!
The silly puppy was overjoyed, “Okay, okay!”
He was so happy that he forgot himself and bent down, planting a kiss on her cheek!
Liu Shimei,”…”
Well, she seemed to have gotten used to these affectionate little gestures.
She touched her face that had been kissed and pulled his hand, urging him to go outside. “We’re a bit late because we went to the Zhang Residence. Let’s leave now. I wonder if Ninth Brother has arrived there.”
Huangfu Lingyao lowered his head to observe her reaction, then glanced at the hand she held, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Look at what they call influence, what they call changing someone insensibly!
Not only did she not reject his kiss, she had grown accustomed to it, even natural.
Not only did she not mind the stolen kiss, she effortlessly pulled him along. Indeed, this wife was truly intimate!
“What were you doing all morning while I was away?” Liu Shimei, unaware of what her silly husband was thinking, walked with him and asked.
There were quite a few people in the corridor. Huangfu Lingyao maintained the standard expression of the Silly Second Prince, grinning as he said, “I slept in your room! Then… I looked at your books.”
In reality, he used sleeping in her room as an excuse to secretly practice his skills. If he didn’t practice, he would be in trouble sooner or later!
As for reading…
“Reading?” Liu Shimei was a bit surprised and asked, “When did you start reading?”
As far as she knew, her silly puppy was not someone who enjoyed learning! His temperament was still unstable, his mind still young, probably not yet at the stage where he actively pursued learning.
To this, Huangfu Lingyao had prepared a response long ago: “Isn’t it because Wife wanted me to learn to read? I was bored, so I casually picked up a book to see if I recognized the characters.”
“And what did you find?” Liu Shimei continued to walk forward, her smile filled with encouragement, even a sense of satisfaction that said: My son has finally realized the importance of learning!
Huangfu Lingyao looked down at her and said, “I found it really strange. I read seriously and discovered I recognize a lot of characters!”
He had to let his wife know that he still remembered many characters, or else if she suddenly decided to force him to practice writing one day, it would be over for him!
