Chapter 279: There’s a Spike in His Heart
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huangfu He had come all the way here to enjoy the flowers, and there was a large group of people behind him. Who did not want to leave a good impression in front of the Crown Prince?
Liu Shimei did not want to see Huangfu He. Last night, she warned Yu Wanqing that if the Crown Prince wanted to talk to her, she would tell him the truth. However, she was unwilling to take the initiative to speak to the Crown Prince.
It was best to stay away from this kind of ‘old flame’!
However, at this moment, Huangfu He was leading the way and was surrounded by a large group of Princes, Princesses, young masters, and noble ladies… Wait, they were already here. If they ignored them, it would naturally be rude.
As an elder, Liang Sheng stood up and led the younger generation out of the pavilion. He cupped his hands and bowed. “Greetings, Your Highness.”
The others naturally followed suit, except for Huangfu Lingyao.
He subconsciously glanced at Liu Shimei. She was standing right beside him, following behind Liang Yi to greet him. There was nothing wrong with her calm expression.
But…
It was as if there was a thorn in his heart. It was fine if he did not move, but it would hurt when he moved!
“No need for formalities. There’s wine prepared in the Flower Divine Hall,” said Huangfu He lightly. “Let’s go together.”
The Crown Prince had personally invited them, but if they declined, it meant that they did not give him face.
Huangfu Lingyao had been staring at Huangfu He the whole time. Naturally, he did not miss who Huangfu He was looking at. Even though he quickly looked away, Huangfu He still looked at Liu Shimei for a longer time than others!
He subconsciously grabbed Liu Shimei’s small hand, pinching her so tightly that it hurt!
Liu Shimei furrowed her brows and retracted her hand. She said in a low voice, “Lingyao, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” He had a wronged expression on his face and a sour look in his eyes.
When Liu Shimei saw the familiar recipe and the familiar taste, she knew that he was jealous again. A child-like person was unusually persistent about this kind of thing.
This silly dog!
She smiled at him and said, “We’ll follow them first and sneak out quietly later.”
The two of them spoke very softly. They were whispering.
However, because the ‘biggest joke of the Capital City’ couple always attracted attention, many people looked at them. They glanced at the two of them holding hands and whispering to each other. Some people did not even hide the disdain in their eyes.
They did not say anything. Even if the Liang family found out, they could not do anything.
Liu Shimei and Lingyao were already used to it and did not care about other people’s gazes.
A group of people walked on the willow embankment by the lake. On the left were the endless peony waves, and on the right was the rugged lake water that was blown by the breeze. The willow branches swayed gently with the spring breeze. The group of men and women were dressed beautifully, and it was needless to say how beautiful they were.
“Wife, do you want to go rowing?” Although Huangfu Lingyao hated to see Huangfu He and Liu Shimei meet, he tried his best to stop them, but he could not. He could only work hard on Liu Shimei.
He pointed at the small boats on the lake and said, “Shall we go rowing later?” “Have you forgotten about the matter of falling into the lake last night?” Liu Shimei asked with a smile.
Huangfu Lingyao pursed his lips and looked at her bitterly. “1 know how to swim. 1 can get up without Lu Ying!”
“Oh, then I was too anxious.” Liu Shimei was a little surprised.
Last night, in a moment of desperation, she called Lu Ying without thinking. If she did not remember that Lu Ying was nearby, she would have jumped into the water herself.
Seeing the cute little expression on the dog’s face, she smiled and asked, “How did you learn how to swim?”
Huangfu Lingyao pursed his lips and looked at some of the Princes and Princesses walking in front of him. He said, “You’ll learn it after falling into the lake many times!”
Falling into the lake so many times… It was obviously not his own doing!
Liu Shimei was speechless.
So that was the case!
No matter, she would definitely help her puppy get justice in the future!
