Chapter 292: Aren’t You Afraid of Spoiling Me Too Much
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shimei panicked.
If she had known that the young puppy would cry, she would not have let him look at her feet. Thinking about how he would cry every time he saw her hurt, she felt helpless and touched.
A man who would cry for you, even if he had the heart of a five-year-old child, still moved her deeply.
What kind of heart did he have!
She hurriedly patted his back to comfort him and said, “It’s okay, blame the shoes, not yourself. You didn’t know 1 changed into this pair that doesn’t fit, right?”
Huangfu Lingyao hung his head without uttering a word.
He had always been able to control his expression. He could laugh, cry, and cry whenever he wanted to. He did not even need to prepare for it.
He was a fool, so no one would hold him to the standards of ‘a real man doesn’t shed tears’. Even if he threw a tantrum and cried on the ground, no one would call him unmanly, they would just call him a fool.
But this time, he was genuinely distressed and guilty, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Yet this silly girl was still anxiously comforting him!
He… felt guilty.
She treated him like a son, indulging and doting on him, making him unable to resist asking, “Wife, aren’t you afraid of spoiling me too much?”
“What?” He spoke in a soft voice, and Liu Shimei could not hear clearly.
Huangfu Lingyao lowered his head.
His hands were darker in color, while her feet were white and small, like exquisite jade carved into the shape of feet that could easily be held in one hand.
He never expected that someone’s feet could also make him feel so moved, causing him to suspect if he had a foot fetish.
Liu Shimei asked again, “Lingyao, what did you just say?”
He did not ask her a second time. He put the socks back on and said, “Let’s go back and find the doctor to give you some medicine to apply on your feet. Don’t wear these shoes, I’ll carry you back. How about it, wife?”
Unconsciously, he showed a man’s responsibility in his words and actions, but… it was like adding a website to a whitelist on the modern internet. Once it’s added, it automatically gets through the system.
That’s how it was with Liu Shimei and Huangfu Lingyao.
After numerous tests, she had already added him to her whitelist, so she was not suspicious anymore, and she did not notice this subtle change. She smiled and replied, “Sure.”
Bending down, she pressed the embroidered shoes with her heels. It was as comfortable as wearing slippers, and she stood up, saying, “This way, my feet won’t get sore or cramped. Let’s go to the Flower Divine Hall first.”
She lifted her skirt to reveal her feet for him to see.
Huangfu Lingyao glanced down, his face breaking into a silly smile. He said, “Wife, you’re so clever!”
But then, he put on a serious expression and said, “Wife, from now on, you can’t show your feet to anyone else, only to me!”
Liu Shimei was speechless.
It’s just a pair of feet, and he reacted so strongly!
It was not a big deal, so she immediately agreed, “Alright!”
Huangfu Lingyao was finally satisfied. He took a step forward and squatted in front of her with his back facing her. “I’ll carry you.”
Liu Shimei knew how strong her young puppy was. It was not the first time he carried her, so she did not refuse and climbed onto his back.
Huangfu Lingyao carried her on his back and walked towards the Flower Divine Hall.
He did not forget to ask for a promise, “Wife, can you stay away from Brother Crown Prince in the future?”
The pet.i.te Liu Shimei was lying on the tall and strong man’s back, shuttling through the peony flowers.
The scenery was beautiful, and the gentle breeze was refreshing.
She comfortably laid on his back, lazily answering, “Of course, I’d like to stay away from him. But some things are beyond my control.”
Sensing that the back of the person under her was tense, she laughed again and said, “Don’t worry, I don’t like him, and 1 definitely don’t want to share my husband with a group of women!”
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Lingyao thought of her usual behavior and felt a little relieved.
She was not lying. Usually, it was hard for her to be nice to a man who had three wives and four concubines!
As the Crown Prince, Huangfu He would soon have concubines and consorts after marrying a Crown Princess. Liu Shimei would definitely cross him off in her heart.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Lingyao gloated!
