Chapter 673: What Does Zhang Wan* er Want?
....Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huangfu Lingyao couldn’t bear it any longer, but he had to make a decisive choice.
Afraid that another spark would set him off, he quickly opened the door and pushed her out, saying, “Wife, go back, don’t wander around!”
The door slammed shut.
Liu s.h.i.+mei’s face was burning hot. She stared at the carved patterns on the door for a while.
Instead of immediately returning next door, she found another room, opened the door to the balcony, and stepped outside.
With the door slightly ajar, Liu s.h.i.+mei sat on the doorstep, gazing at the river, trying to calm her overly pounding heart.
Honestly, as a healthy man, her husband naturally had certain reactions, which were instinctual.
Did she not have such instincts?
She wouldn’t entertain thoughts in that direction just because of a little teasing. But when someone she liked made her legs go weak with a simple touch, how could she not feel anything?
Chin in hand, she pondered her recent thoughts, thinking, ‘If it weren’t for this era but the modern times, would what just happened escalate and continue?’
Most likely, right?
Because she didn’t resist at all.
Oh no!
She covered her still-heated face, feeling that if she continued down this path in her mind, she would be burned alive by some kind of fire!
When her mind was in a chaotic mess, she suddenly heard the door creak.
Liu s.h.i.+mei thought it might be her silly dog coming to find her since it had wandered off and couldn’t locate her. Was that why he had come looking for her?
She was about to get up when she heard voices, “Cousin! I’m serious. Our bond has been strong since childhood. Do you think I’d forget you after gaining some benefits?”
It was the voice of Zhang Wan’er!
Liu s.h.i.+mei slowly sat back down and peeked through the door crack.
There were four people in the room, including Zhang Wan’er and Liu Yan’er. They each had a maid serving them.
Liu Yan’er remained silent, and it was Xia He who spoke, “Miss Zhang, the matter you brought up, it’s not that my Second Young Miss is unwilling to help you, but she can’t help!”
“Why not?” Zhang Wan’er asked in confusion. “If I succeed, wouldn’t that be beneficial for all of us? Joining forces in wealth and prosperity, isn’t that a boost for you?”
Liu Yan’er finally spoke, “I advise you not to act recklessly now! I admit that the idea you proposed is indeed not bad. But… not now!”
“Why?” Zhang Wan’er was even more puzzled. “Yan’er, could it be that you’re afraid I’ll seize the opportunity and climb higher than you in the future, and you’re not happy about it?”
Liu Yan’er seemed very angry at her for saying such things. Her face darkened, and she said, “Based on my experience of being defeated by Liu s.h.i.+mei a few times, I advise you not to act rashly! Wait until I become the Crown Princess, and then we can look for opportunities to act. We currently have no backing. If you rush into it and fail, there won’t be anyone to save you! Given my precarious position now, I can’t help you if something happens to you!”
Zhang Wan’er remained silent. From the look in her eyes, it seemed she wasn’t entirely convinced by what Liu Yan’er said.
Xia He added, “Miss Zhang, there’s still a month before the selection of the Crown Princess is finalized. Endure a little longer. The priority now is to have my Second Young Miss become the Crown Princess. In the future, she will naturally help you get what you want!”
Zhang Wan’er still didn’t speak.
Liu s.h.i.+mei was puzzled and she muttered, “What does Zhang Wan’er want?”
Thinking about the absurd performance today, she furrowed her brow and thought, ‘Could it be…. she’s interested in my silly puppy and wants to steal him from me?’
