“Master, can I also release a river lantern?” Shu Yutong lifted her head and asked with a soft and innocent tone.
Seeing her like that, Huangfu Lingyao snorted disdainfully. ‘This stinky kid is clearly a schemer, pretending to be innocent all the time to deceive my wife!’
But as his thoughts circled in his mind, he thought of a possibility—
In essence, am I not the same as her? So, is there a possibility to let my wife discover Shu Yutong’s true face and test her reaction to this matter?
Huangfu Lingyao looked towards Shu Yutong, his gaze deep behind Liu Shimei.
Shu Yutong, being an extremely sensitive child, sitting in Liu Shimei’s arms, turned her head and met Huangfu Lingyao’s gaze with a glance!
She looked up at Liu Shimei, saw that her thoughts were not on them but on looking outside by lifting the curtain, and took the opportunity to send a warning to Huangfu Lingyao, as if saying: Don’t play tricks, or I’ll expose you!
Huangfu Lingyao squinted his eyes, starting to doubt: Can Shu Yutong really see through that I’m pretending?
The corner of his eye saw Liu Shimei putting down the curtain and withdrawing her gaze. Both of them resumed an appearance of nonchalance.
Poor Liu Shimei, her fiance is a movie star, and her disciple is a young actor. Yet, she remains completely oblivious, deceived by their good looks!
Huangfu Lingyao lifted his arm to embrace Liu Shimei’s shoulder and said, “Wife, are we almost at Yuebin Pavilion?”
“Yeah.” Liu Shimei nodded, “It’s originally within the city, not too far away.”
Shu Yutong also wanted to assert her presence and asked, “Master, what does Yuebin Pavilion look like? Have you been there?”
“Yeah, I’ve been.” Liu Shimei turned around, looked at her silly dog, and asked, “Lingyao, have you been there?”
But Huangfu Lingyao shook his head, “I haven’t been to Yuebin Building!”
It wasn’t a lie; he really hadn’t been there!
When he was young, he didn’t go because he was too young. Later, at the age of 13, he started acting foolish, and who would invite him anywhere?
Seeing him like this, Liu Shimei suddenly felt a pang in her heart. She turned around and touched his face, soothingly saying, “Yuebin Pavilion is not such a remarkable place. We won’t attend the poetry gathering, just go there today to eat and have fun, okay?”
“Okay!” Silly Second Prince nodded obediently. “As long as Wife stays with me, it’s fine!”
Shu Yutong, on the other hand, was somewhat longing.
After all, the Shu family’s position in medicine was supreme, considered both prestigious and affluent, but not exactly ‘noble’.
It’s like Shu Han, renowned in medicine, everyone knows he comes from the Shu family and is highly skilled, but he still has to be an assistant under Mo Chang.
Shu Yutong was young, and even Shu Jun had not been allowed to debut yet. She had even less exposure to the world.
She said, “Master, tell us about it!”
Liu Shimei smiled faintly and said, “Yuebin Pavilion is quite large. Although it’s called Yuebin Pavilion, it’s not just a building; it’s considered a famous attraction in the Imperial Capital. Among its features…”
She thought for a moment and said, “Oh, Yuebin Pavilion has a most famous place called Qingjiu Terrace. It’s too hot in July, so the banquet is probably arranged at Yuebin Pavilion, and the poetry gathering will also be held there. Qingjiu Terrace is by the river, and in the evening, they will release river lanterns; they must be there.”
“So, tonight, shall we go to Qingjiu Terrace to release river lanterns?” Shu Yutong’s face was full of eager anticipation.
Liu Shimei looked at her silly puppy and saw that he too had a pair of starry eyes, full of expectations..
