39 The Fleeting Charm

However, Huangfu Lingyao did not seem to notice the gazes of others. He stared at Liu Shimei's face as he walked up the stairs. Her question made it difficult for him to answer. With a bitter face, he said, "Father said that tomorrow is definitely not possible."

Liu Shimei chuckled.

A royal marriage was not a child's play, even if he was just an unfavored and foolish king. He could not just do whatever he wanted.

She found the table he was sitting at and pulled him to sit down with her. She asked, "Have you ordered?"

"No, I haven't!" The silly Husky shook his head. "I wanted to wait for you to order. I'm afraid it won't taste good when it's cold!"

Liu Shimei smiled faintly and called for the waiter to order a few dishes.

After ordering, Huangfu Lingyao's eyes lit up as he asked, "Wife, why did you order all my favorite dishes? How do you know what I like to eat?"

She smiled and said, "Didn't I ask you yesterday? You say you'll eat anything, but you don't even touch some of the dishes that were served later on. It's obvious that you don't like them. If I didn't know better, I would have suspected that you were just teasing me."

Hearing this, Huangfu Lingyao glanced at her with a surprised look.

Liu Shimei thought that it was because he was restricted in the palace, so she said, "In the future, if you don't like it, just tell me. You don't have to pretend to like things that you don't. When we're together, don't force yourself, understand?"

After hearing her words, Huangfu Lingyao's eyes lit up like night pearls, and he nodded heavily. "Mm, I got it!"

There was still some time before the dishes were served, mainly because they were early -- especially this silly dog, who had been sitting here waiting for her since coming out of the palace. It had been at least two hours.

He was so obedient and silly, so cute!

Thinking of the wedding day, Liu Shimei said again, "The Emperor's words are reasonable. Although we are engaged, we still have to go through the process of three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts. He has to pick a good day. Don't worry, it's not like I can away anyway."

Perhaps she did not notice it herself, but when she spoke to Huangfu Lingyao, her tone was especially gentle, and even her eyes were smiling.

The main thing was that this silly dog was too lovable!

He was already 20 years old, but he only had the intelligence of a 5-year-old. He was clearly a Prince, but he was bullied everywhere. Everyone laughed at him, but he will not allow anyone to laugh at Liu Shimei.

However, Liu Shimei really could not understand why Huangfu Lingyao was so good to her!

"Oh, then how long do I have to wait before I can be with you every day? I've asked Imperial Father, but he refused to tell me!"

There was still some distance between the two of them. The silly dog was not satisfied with the space of one person between them. He moved his butt over and sat close to Liu Shishi.

"I can't make the decision on this matter." Liu Shimei poured two cups of tea and handed one to him. He also took a sip.

Unexpectedly, this person did not drink the cup she gave him. Instead, he snatched the cup from her hand and drank the rest of the tea in the spot she had drunk from!

Liu Shimei was dumbfounded.

After he finished drinking, he even glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. Was there a flash of charm?

It was very alluring!

Was it her illusion?

She thought about how he suddenly kissed her last night... What's more, she thought about the night she had just arrived. Was the man who had been fierce and violent as he had sex with her really this silly dog in front of her?

His intelligence was stuck at the age of five. Even if he was drugged, even if she took the initiative, it was impossible for him to do that kind of thing, right?

Liu Shimei rubbed her eyes. She did not mind that he had snatched her tea away. She probed, "Lingyao, when I marry into your Royal Mansion in the future, where should I live?"
