Chapter 660: You Can Be a Father in the Future
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Previously, Liu Shimei had been wholeheartedly aiming for a harmonious relationship. Fearing that the presence of Shu Yutong might create imbalance in Huangfu Lingyao’s heart, she made an effort to treat both of them as fairly as possible.
However, she now realized that her mindset was flawed and too biased!
No matter how foolish that silly dog might be, he was still an adult. She instinctively treated him like a child; how could children not quarrel or feel jealous of each other?
But if she treated him as an adult—like now, where he was the head of the household, taking care of his fiancee and his young apprentice—wasn’t he doing quite well?
Hmm, boys needed to grow into strong and independent men. She couldn’t continue with her overly protective approach. From now on, she should try letting him fly on his own, shouldn’t she? Otherwise, she’d probably end up raising a mama’s boy in the future!
“Wife, have some peaches and grapes!”
Her mind was full of parenting tips, and Huangfu Lingyao divided the peaches and then started sharing grapes.
He brought the whole plate of grapes over, held it in his arms, peeled them one by one. He would give one to his wife, then one to the young apprentice.
He directly stuffed the grape into his wife’s mouth and placed the one for the apprentice on a small plate in front of Shu Yutong.
Liu Shimei enjoyed the sweet and sour grapes and glanced at him, thinking, ‘It seems he can be a good dad in the future! If I have children with him, and he can take care of our children like this, it wouldn’t be bad.’
Since the last time he had persuaded her to have at least five or even ten children, Liu Shimei had been resisting the idea. After all, he was still a child himself—how could he be a father?
But now, for the first time, she felt a bit of anticipation about having a child after marriage!
While everything was harmonious on their side, next door, things were quite sour!
Liu Yan’er was jealous because: Even though Liu Shimei had found an unmarried fool of a fiance, she still lived a prosperous life, able to train the fool to be as obedient as a dog.
Zhang Wan’er was jealous because: Why is the man I like treating that little sl*t Liu Shimei so well? I need to find a way to get rid of Liu Shimei! I won’t even allow her to be a concubine. With such a good-looking man, I want him all to myself!
On the other hand, Liu An was not jealous, but because Zhang Wan’er embarrassed herself, his mood wasn’t great. If it weren’t for Liu Fuyun instructing him to keep a close eye on Liu Yan’er and prevent her from causing trouble, he would have wanted to switch positions!
Just when everyone’s thoughts were varied, a eunuch approached, “This servant greets King Dun Yu, greets all the young masters and young ladies!”
After the greetings, he turned to Huangfu Lingyao. “Master Supervisor has ordered this servant to invite the Second Prince to the Crown Prince’s side for the banquet.”
Huangfu Lingyao,”…”
He exerted force, and the grapes turned into juice, dripping through his fingers!
Seeing this, Shu Yutong instinctively took a handkerchief and helped him wipe his hands, asking, “Do we need to go and sit with the Crown Prince?”
She timidly glanced towards the Crown Prince’s direction, feeling a bit scared.
“No!” Huangfu Lingyao decisively answered, definitely not willing to go!
If he went, he would have to take his wife with him.
How could he not know what Huangfu He was thinking!
Shu Yutong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, ‘Okay, with his stubbornness,
I’ll compete less for favor in the future.’
When she first arrived, she wanted to compete for favor with Huangfu Lingyao, partly because she sensed his hostility, and partly because she was afraid of not pleasing her master when she was new.
Later, Liu Shimei’s gentleness completely calmed her heart, and she found that although Huangfu Lingyao seemed to disdain her on the surface, he was actually quite good.
As time went on, her heart gradually settled, and her attitude towards Huangfu Lingyao naturally changed.
But the eunuch here was in a difficult position, “Eldest Miss Liu, Second Miss Liu, if you both sit here, I won’t be able to explain to the Crown Prince!”
