Chapter 449: Thank G.o.d It’s You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation
Her gaze spoke volumes, and Huangfu Lingyao knew for sure that Madame Miao must have provoked her.
Thinking about their conversation with Miao Linglong just now, those words were indeed quite harsh.
Huangfu Lingyao reached out and held her hand, saying, “Wife, will you blame me?”
“Blame you for what?” Liu s.h.i.+mei blinked, turning to him with a puzzled expression, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.
He pursed his lips and said pitifully, “I know you used to be praised by everyone. But since that night when we were together under the lamp… when we were caught sleeping together, wherever you go, people will mock you. They all say you’re not good.”
He tried to convey this message in the most childish tone possible. In fact, a more accurate way to put it would be: Ever since that night we slept together, you transformed from the nation’s beauty to a fallen woman everyone looks down upon. Don’t you blame me?
That’s how the world works; men are always more forgiving in these matters.
At most, men are teased for being flirtatious, but women have to bear the shame of being labeled promiscuous.
Liu s.h.i.+mei understood his meaning. Thinking about that unpleasant incident, she felt a bit uneasy. However, after some thought, she smiled and said, “The deed is done. You and I are both victims. Why would I blame you?”
The process might not have been pleasant, but she had found such a cute, obedient, handsome, and adorable puppy. That was some consolation, wasn’t it?
Seeing her smile tinged with sadness, Huangfu Lingyao felt uncomfortable. He lowered his head and remained silent.
However, in the next moment, Liu s.h.i.+mei lifted her head again, smiled at him, and pinched his cheek, saying, “But, thank G.o.d it’s you!”
Fortunately, it was him. If it had been the ruffian that Liu Yan’er had originally sought out, she probably wouldn’t want to go through this ordeal again, right?
Huangfu Lingyao looked at her smile, feeling somewhat stunned, and asked, “Why do you think it’s fortunate?”
Liu s.h.i.+mei tilted her head slightly and explained, “It’s because you’re kind to me, and you don’t have a wife or concubines yet, and you’re straightforward… In short, you possess valuable qualities. If it were anyone else, I probably wouldn’t be able to accept it.”
Regardless of whether he understood or not, she said these words anyway.
Little did she know the turmoil her words caused in Huangfu Lingyao’s heart!
He remained silent, sighing inwardly: Was my wife’s demand too low? Was I good to her back then?
Carefully recalling the events, that night after the affair was exposed, she suffered a beating from Liu Fuyun. He felt displeased but did nothing to help her.
At that time, his only intention was to ensure she couldn’t marry the Crown Prince, severing the close ties between the Liu family and the Crown Prince. He was also afraid that Liu s.h.i.+mei would be infatuated with Huangfu He, so he frequently sought her out, trying to be kind to her subconsciously, thinking that a young girl’s heart could be easily won.
Little did he know, in her eyes, these gestures were considered pure and valuable intentions.
In his entire life, Huangfu Lingyao had never felt so embarra.s.sed, so guilty!
Growing up, Huangfu Lingyao had never felt so ashamed, so vulnerable!
Suddenly, he leaned down and embraced her, resting his chin on her shoulder.
“Wife,” he said, “I will definitely treat you better in the future. I don’t want any other wives or concubines, only you.”
To Liu s.h.i.+mei, his words seemed naive, but for him, it was the most sincere promise he could give.
“Mmm, that’s great!” Liu s.h.i.+mei did not expect him to say that. She thought he was moved by her words and reached out to pat his back to comfort him.
Children, with their innocent nature, didn’t encounter many genuinely kind people. Meeting her, he instinctively relied on her, didn’t he?
In this posture, she could not see his expression and missed the deep, slightly guilty look in his eyes..
