Chapter 260: I’m Angry at Myself
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shimei called out nervously and wanted to pull him back, but he had already let go.
He was at least 150 pounds. Liu Shimei could not hold him. If he did not let go, she would fall into the lake with him.
But he had indeed let go!
In the blur of haste, Liu Shimei did not think about the deeper meaning behind his actions.
She was anxious. She did not know if the young paparazzo could swim, so she hurriedly called Lu Ying over. “Lu Ying! Lu Ying!”
If they did not come, she would have to jump down to save him herself.
Fortunately, Mo’er and the others were following them from afar. When they heard the exclamation, they rushed up and Lu Ying jumped into the lake with a plop.
The water by the lake was not too deep. After a while, Lu Ying pulled Huangfu Lingyao up. Both of them were wet and sat on a big rock at the side, panting. “Lingyao, are you alright?” Liu Shimei was so nervous that her breathing became rapid. She took a handkerchief to wipe his face.
“I drank a few mouthfuls of water!”
Then, he spat out the water he had drunk.
Liu Shimei heaved a sigh of relief and pulled his hand to stand up. “I’m glad you’re fine. It’s cold at night. Hurry up and go back and change your wet clothes so that you don’t catch a cold.”
She held his hand and walked towards the Cold Fragrance Waterside Pavilion.
Huangfu Lingyao was very obedient. He followed behind her and said aggrievedly, “Wife, it was an accident!”
“Yes.” Liu Shimei walked in front, expressionless.
He could not differentiate her emotions.
Huangfu Lingyao caught up with her in a few steps and stood side by side with her. He lowered his head to observe her expression and asked carefully, “Wife, are you angry? It was an accident. I didn’t want to get wet.”
Liu Shimei looked at him and saw the puppy’s aggrieved expression. She sighed helplessly and said, “How could that be? Our family’s Lingyao suffered a huge loss, how can I still be angry with you?”
She pursed her lips and said, “I’m angry at myself. 1 was clearly holding your hand. Why didn’t I look at the road? Why didn’t I warn you that there was a pit in front of you and let you fall?”
Huangfu Lingyao was filled with guilt when he heard what she said.
He had fallen into the lake on purpose. He wanted to show his stupidity and divert Liu Shimei’s attention so that she would not suspect that he had lost control just now.
Whether it was lying or pretending, he was so skilled that it was as easy as eating and drinking.
However, when he saw Liu Shimei blaming herself for not taking good care of him, his heart felt like it had been whipped!
It was painful and hot!
It was over. He had to tell thousands of lies to cover up one lie. It was like a snowball. What would he do if she saw through him in the future?
However, he did not dare to expose himself now. Their relationship was not stable. What if she wanted to break off the engagement?
As he was worried that Huangfu Lingyao would catch a cold, Liu Shimei walked quickly and soon arrived at the Cold Fragrance Waterside Pavilion.
He turned around and instructed Lu Ying, “Quickly bring His Highness to change his clothes. It’s already nighttime. If there’s hot water, let His Highness go and wash up.”
Her expression was a little serious, and she looked irresistible. Huangfu Lingyao, as an obedient dog at home, could only follow Lu Ying into the house obediently.
It would definitely take a long time to bathe and change clothes. Liu Shimei sat at the railing of the waterside pavilion and waited.
Mo’er followed over and asked, “Eldest Miss, since we’ve already sent His Highness back, let’s go back to the Misty Pavilion. Do you have anything else you’re worried about?”
Liu Shimei did not raise her head. Instead, she stared at the koi fish below the waterside pavilion and said, “There’s no hurry. There’s still a show ahead.”
She looked calm and composed, as if she was waiting for something.
“What show?” Mo’er did not understand, but seeing that she had no intention of explaining, she said, “I’m a little worried, we’re not giving the Crown Prince any face. Is it going to be okay?”
This question made Liu Shimei smile faintly and said, “If the Crown Prince really wants to argue with the Silly Second Prince, then he is not the Crown Prince. And if he had been calculative, he would have been calculative sooner or later.”
“It’s like a tongue twister.” Mo’er did not understand.
Liu Shimei smiled faintly. Her eyes flashed as she looked behind Mo’er.
“Big Sister..”
