Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shimei was stunned. She didn’t expect her silly dog to be so clever, immediately grasping the key point!
She blinked and asked, “Lingyao, do you know what ‘impropriety’ means?”
Emperor Fu Lingyao’s heart skipped a beat. His long eyelashes fluttered rapidly for a moment before he said, “Isn’t it… isn’t it… wanting to touch your little hand, wanting to kiss you, and even wanting to… sleep with you?”
Saying this, he felt uneasy!
Because he was guilty of exactly that on the night of the Lantern Festival!
But upon further thought, he encouraged himself inwardly, ‘It’s different! I didn’t intend to go through with it that night. I just wanted to ruin her reputation and prevent her from marrying the Crown Prince. In any case, others would arrange to catch them in the act, and she would never be able to clear her name completely. But…’
Recalling the events of that night, he was surprised too. ‘It was my wife who took the initiative. She undressed me first!’
“But you also want to touch my hand, kiss me, and even sleep with me…” Liu Shimei couldn’t bring herself to say this sentence coherently. She cleared her throat and said, “Why don’t you consider it impropriety?”
“Why should it be the same?” The silly puppy had to stand by his position firmly. “We are getting married! I’ve heard from others that getting married means we’ll be together for our whole lives. The two of us will have many, many children in the future. So, I want to be close to Wife. How can that be called impropriety?”
Lately, he had become increasingly arrogant, always talking about ‘having lots of little children’.
Liu Shimei was at a loss for words. “Fine, you can twist your logic however you want.”
She spoon-fed him another bite of rice.
Huangfu Lingyao chuckled. “Twisted logic is still logic, right? Is there something wrong with what I said?”
“You’re not wrong,” she admitted. She didn’t bother arguing with him; it wasn’t a big deal, and it’s not like she couldn’t indulge him a little.
But there was one thing she wanted to clarify. “When you say ‘a lot of little children’, how many exactly?”
“Ten!” Huangfu Lingyao’s eyes lit up as he immediately responded.
Seeing Liu Shimei’s incredulous stare, he weakly amended, “Or… eight?”
His eyes darted around, and when she remained silent, he reluctantly said, “Okay, six then! Can’t go any lower!”
He swore that it couldn’t go any lower, but meeting Liu Shimei’s piercing gaze, he shrunk back and his resolve wavered. “Fine, how about five? Definitely not four, right? You know, the fourth prince, people might mistake him for a dead prince?!”
Liu Shimei was utterly flabbergasted.
She never imagined that her fiance, the silly puppy, would be so obsessed with having children!
Was he kidding? If his condition couldn’t be cured in this lifetime, did he expect her to run a kindergarten as their nanny by having five kids?
Of course, wealthy families weren’t concerned about childcare, but she had her limits. She didn’t want to have that many children!
Though she had never thought about this issue before, now that it was raised, she seriously considered it. Having two children seemed ideal—a daughter and a son, forming the character for ‘good?’.
But this guy had grandiose ideas; he started with ten!
Even after reducing the number repeatedly, he still settled on five?
He was seriously challenging her worldview!
Huangfu Lingyao kept his eyes on her, sensing her deep contemplation, and started to panic. “Wife, don’t you want to have little babies?”
