This side of him was entirely new to Liu Shimei, and it startled her a bit.

She stared at him in bewilderment and softly called out, “Lingyao?”

Her voice was filled with confusion, and she seemed utterly dumbfounded, as if something had completely upended her understanding of him!

It was at this moment that Huangfu Lingyao abruptly realized he had revealed his true self!

His reaction was lightning-fast; tears welled up in an instant. The fierce and icy demeanor he had displayed just moments ago vanished completely. He cried out loudly, “I like Wife’s hair. I don’t want you to cut it! You’re not allowed to cut it!”

This was the same dog who usually acted cute and playful, but now he was throwing a tantrum, as if he was only a step away from rolling on the ground.

It was as though everything Liu Shimei had sensed from him just moments ago was an illusion, a figment of her imagination!

But was it really an illusion?

Liu Shimei questioned this in her mind, repeatedly observing his facial expressions and actions, but she could not find a single thing that seemed out of place.

Moreover, considering how much he cherished her hair, his earlier ferocity made complete sense.

It was akin to the time on the boat in the Peony Garden when he found out that Huangfu He had met with her privately. He had been jealous to the point of seeming like he could destroy the heavens and earth.

And then there was the incident with Yu Wanqing; he had nearly beaten her to death. Back then, he had been just like this, filled with intense hostility!

In summary, this silly puppy was easily moved to tears, but he probably had a naturally cold and ruthless side to him?

If he was not this foolish, could he be rather tyrannical?

Perhaps it was simply that his childlike demeanor, influenced by his five or six-year-old mentality, had concealed his true nature. But when something touched his bottom line, his true nature would erupt?

Having found such a perfect explanation, Liu Shimei’s frown loosened as she began to console the ‘heartbroken’ husky. “Alright, alright, if you don’t want to cut it, we won’t. It’s not that big of a deal, why cry over it?”

She reached out to take the pouch from his hand.

However, Huangfu Lingyao tightly held onto it and refused to give it up, staring at her warily. “What are you doing? Do you want to take it and throw it away? I won’t give it!”

His tone had a childlike quality to it!

Liu Shimei looked up at him and could not help but burst into laughter.

He had just been crying, tears still clinging to his eyelashes, and now he looked as wary as a little rabbit encountering a big bad wolf!

This was the first time she had seen such an expression on his face.

Especially that emphatic ‘I won’t give it’, as if he were being stubborn to the extreme, it made her want to tease him. “What if I insist on throwing it away? What will you do then?”

Many adults liked to tease children like this!

The silly puppy really put up a fight to protect his food. He quickly retreated, put the pouch into his own embrace, and stared at her as if she were an enemy trying to steal his meaty bone!

Seeing him like this, Liu Shimei’s playful mood grew stronger. She tilted her head and asked, “Well, I’ll give you two choices. First, get rid of that hair. Second, get rid of me!”

Huangfu Lingyao widened his eyes and immediately said, “I don’t want either!”

In his heart, he wished he could just bite down and shut her up for saying such things!

Get rid of her? She was really audacious!

Liu Shimei pouted and said, “You can only choose one. Either you throw away the hair, or you choose me!”

“Only a fool would make a choice!” Huangfu Lingyao blurted out, “I want both!”

Liu Shimei:!!!

She could not help it and burst into hearty laughter.

Look, everyone said he was foolish, but who was the real fool?

If she wasn’t sure he didn’t know this reference, she would think he had also traveled through time!

“Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore.” She laughed until her stomach hurt and waved at him. “Give it here, hair doesn’t take up much space, and we can still put the medicinal herbs in it.”

Huangfu Lingyao watched her warily.. “Are you sure? You’re not tricking me, right?”
