Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Then again, he said ‘I love you so much’… Is this love truly romantic love between a man and a woman?
Does he really understand what love is?
Then, what would you call their current relationship?
Are they an engaged couple who like each other, or lovers who have just started their romance?
Liu Shimei thought about it from every angle, but couldn’t come to a definite conclusion. Talking to herself, she said, “Well, let it be. Let nature take its course. Anyway… whether it’s love or not, we’ll be husband and wife in the future!”
After soaking in the bath for a while, when Mo’er came back, Liu Shimei was still in the water. Without thinking, she told her, “Earlier, the Second Prince called me over.”
Liu Shimei was taken aback and looked at her, asking, “Why did he call you? What’s going on?”
This isn’t like her silly dog’s usual behavior!
“Of course, he wanted to know what happened during the day that made you upset. This Second Prince, you know, even though he’s a bit unusual, he genuinely cares about you!”
Mo’er reached out and touched the water in the tub, her voice suddenly rising several degrees. “This water has turned cold! Eldest Miss, you shouldn’t indulge in the cold too much, or you’ll get sick!”
Liu Shimei did enjoy the coolness a bit too much. It was already quite hot in the summer, and she was someone accustomed to wearing short sleeves and skirts in modern times. After coming here, not only was she tightly wrapped in layers every day, but her dress was long, and she had to wear underpants underneath! She was going to suffocate from the heat!
So, even though the bathwater had cooled down a bit, she refused to get out. Soaking in the water was just too comfortable.
“Eldest Young Miss, please get up!” Mo’er reached out to pull her, “Even though you are a doctor, you can’t guarantee that you won’t get sick!”
Liu Shimei sighed in resignation and got up. She started dressing behind the screen and asked, “Did you tell him everything?”
She didn’t want to talk to him about it, but she didn’t expect him to be so sensitive and even ask Mo’er about it.
This silly dog was getting craftier!
Mo’er sighed and said, “Yes, I told him! Don’t blame me, Eldest Young Miss. I saw how much His Highness cares about you. He just wanted to make you happy, that’s why he told him.”
“Alright, forget it, what’s done is done,” Liu Shimei said, not blaming Mo’er.
She didn’t want to tell this naive and pure-hearted guy about these complicated, manipulative, and bloody matters.
He probably still thought she was as gentle and kind as he described. She didn’t want him to know that she could be so ruthless!
But he found out by accident, so be it.
“In my opinion, His Highness really deserves praise for his feelings towards Eldest Young Miss. Just like this time, if he hadn’t protected you with all his might, who knows what would have happened to you!” Mo’er picked up the dirty clothes Liu Shimei changed out of and added, “A man who protects his wife is truly adorable, even if he’s a bit foolish.”
Liu Shimei couldn’t help but smile. She thought, ‘It seems that this time, the silly dog’s fierce protection not only gained approval from my grandfather and others but also completely won over the people around me.’
Of course, she didn’t know what Huangfu Lingyao had done behind the scenes!
“I’ll go check on him again and make sure he goes to sleep early.”
That night.
In the later part of the summer night, the air was slightly cooler than during the day. The entire imperial capital was engulfed in the silence of sleep. A few shadows streaked across the night sky.
They went in different directions, and no one knew what they were up to.
After accomplishing their tasks, they all returned to the back alley of the Yong’an Inn. They respectfully reported to a dark figure standing near the wall at the entrance of the alley.
“Master, the task has been completed.”
“Good, you may go rest.”
The individuals dispersed, and the figure emerged from the shadows.. Surprisingly, it was Li Xin!
