Chapter 602: My Wife Doesn’t Love Me Anymore
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Crown Prince had misspoken!
When he realized the astonishment in Liu Shimei’s eyes due to his inappropriate question, he restrained himself and said, “What I mean is… It’s wonderful that Imperial Second Brother is happy. In the future…”
He continued with a hint of bitterness, “In the past, the Empress Mother was always worried that Imperial Second Brother would lack care in the future. She often reminded me to take good care of him. Now, I think Empress Mother worried too much. With Eldest Young Miss Liu as his unmarried wife, it is his blessing.”
Attempting to salvage his blunder, Huangfu He couldn’t help but appear more erratic. He felt he shouldn’t speak any further to her and said, “Forget it, why am I telling you all this? Just go back.”
The more he said, the more mistakes he might make!
Some things were not suitable to be discussed within the palace. He would have to find an opportunity to talk to her sincerely once more and express his true feelings!
Liu Shimei felt relieved. She bent her legs and said, “Sending off Your Highness the Crown Prince!”
Huangfu He glanced deeply at her and walked away.
When Liu Shimei returned to the Hall of Searching Deer, Huangfu Lingyao and Shu Yutong had engaged in friendly negotiations and developed an atmosphere of ‘father’s kindness and daughter’s filial piety, harmony and happiness’.
Upon seeing her enter, Shu Yutong immediately got off the bed and called out crisply, “Master!”
So obedient and adorable!
Such an innocent appearance!
‘Wife, you’re back?’ Huangfu Lingyao’s face lit up with joy, a smile instantly appearing on his face.
But the joy lasted only a moment. He watched helplessly as his wife didn’t approach him first. Instead, she squatted down, first hugging Shu Yutong and then caressing her little face.
Then, he asked Shu Yutong with a smile, “Do you like playing here, Tongtong? Are you happy?”
Huangfu Lingyao was speechless.
How sour!
Her entire heart was filled with resentment and jealousy.
My wife really doesn’t love me anymore. She goes to see the little girl the moment she’s back!
Shu Yutong, this little b*stard, was indeed here to fight for favor!
I shouldn’t have reached an agreement with her to coexist peacefully. She was clearly dividing my wife’s attention!
Liu Shimei didn’t notice Huangfu Lingyao’s condition. After all, her little disciple was new. She was afraid that her disciple wouldn’t be able to adapt, so she naturally had to pay more attention to him.
“I like it. His Highness treats me very well!” Shu Yutong replied obediently.
She smiled sweetly and turned to look at Huangfu Lingyao. “Your Highness, you like me very much, don’t you?”
Huangfu Lingyao’s eyes widened. I would be a ghost if I liked you!
I don’t even have the chance to show my wife how much I like her, and you’re asking if I like a stinky brat like you?
But–
When he met Liu Shimei’s gaze, could he say ‘no’?
“Yes, I like her very much!” He grinned.
He gritted his teeth!
Who would like such a scheming brat?!
But Liu Shimei didn’t know that the two of them were having an undercurrent. He smiled and said, “It seems that you two are getting along very well.”
Shu Yutong saw her gentle gaze and stretched out her arms to ask for a hug.
When Huangfu Lingyao saw this, he became even angrier!
He kept roaring in his heart, ‘Wife, don’t hug her! What right did he have to hug her?! You haven’t hugged me yet!’
However, Liu Shimei disappointed him again.
She picked Shu Yutong up and pinched the little girl’s soft and tender cheeks. She smiled gently and said, “The Empress has already agreed to let Master bring Tongtong to stay in the palace for a few days. Later, Master will bring you to see where you sleep, okay?”
“Master, can I…”
Shu Yutong opened her mouth and subconsciously glanced at Huangfu Lingyao. She caught Huangfu Lingyao’s hostility towards her.
