Chapter 9: Even Engaged Couple Should Avoid Suspicion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Eldest Young Miss Liu had always been arrogant. She was the most exquisite flower that stood at the top of the Capital City’s socialites!

However, at this time, in order to please the Silly Second Prince, she actually regressed her intelligence and turned into a child. She even said things like ‘I’ll start crying’. It was too terrifying!

Liu Shimei’s method was useful. Huangfu Lingyao’s beautiful face was confused, but he understood what she meant after a moment. He hurriedly got off the bed and waved his hands. “Don’t cry, please don’t cry. I’ll listen to you!”

He was very obedient.

There were still tears on his long eyelashes. He looked very moving!

Liu Shimei took a look and had the illusion that this guy was trying to seduce her, so she did not dare to look at him any longer. He had extraordinary eyelashes! However, he was really obedient!

She looked away and did not realize that Huangfu Lingyao’s eyes were on the collarbones on her back. His gaze unconsciously slid down, past the thorn-like wounds on her back, and finally landed on her slender waist.

The slender fingers in his sleeves curled up slightly, and his eagerness to move was stopped.

After he got off the bed, Mo’er rushed over to help Liu Shimei put on her clothes and covered her with the blanket. With a helpless expression, she said, “Miss, ask him to go out. Even if you two are engaged, you still have to avoid suspicion.”

Liu Shimei agreed silently. Just as she was about to speak, an annoying voice came from outside the door. “You’ve all seen her naked body, and everyone in the Capital City knows that Eldest Young Miss and the Silly Second Prince are having an affair. They might even have secretly made love. What’s there to avoid suspicion?”

It was Liu Yan’er again!

The Consort Selection Banquet ended just like that?

“Mo’er, chase her out!” Liu Shimei ignored her and said.

But now, Liu Yan’er had more people by her side, and Mo’er was alone. How could she manage such a thing?

Liu Yan’er’s lips curved into a proud smile as she said, “Don’t be like that, Big Sister. I have another piece of good news to tell you!”

If this sentence could be described as arrogant, the next sentence was even more so. “Thank you, Big Sister, for giving me this opportunity. I’ve been selected for the Crown Prince’s Consort selection today!”

Suddenly, a group of people came in, and Huangfu Lingyao looked at them in a daze. He looked like he did not know what he was supposed to do, and he subconsciously sat down on the edge of the bed in front of Liu Shimei, looking at the group of women warily.

He looked like a loyal dog that would pounce over and bite off the neck of anyone who came to bully its master!

Liu Shimei glanced at him, feeling both gratified and speechless.

Mo’er could not take it anymore and blurted out, “Second Young Miss, it’s not that this servant is looking down on you, but even if Eldest Young Miss didn’t attend the consort selection, Grand Secretary Zhang’s youngest daughter is still a choice candidate, right? Do you think you’re better than Miss Zhang?”

Being looked down on by a servant girl, Liu Yan’er’s face darkened. She raised her hand and was about to slap Mo’er’s face.

“Liu Yan’er, don’t you dare touch a single hair on my Mo’er’s head!” Liu Shimei said in a carefree tone.

Although her words were casual, there was a strong warning in them. Huangfu Lingyao turned around and glanced at her.

Liu Yan’er subconsciously stopped, but she turned around and thought, ‘This is just a servant girl. Liu Shimei must have been beaten so badly last night that she couldn’t move. So what if I hit her servant girl?’

The hand was raised again.

Before this slap could land on Mo’er’s face, Liu Shimei, who was lying on the bed, suddenly got up and kicked Liu Yan’er’s stomach!

She did not know martial arts, but at least she had some self-defense skills. This kick landed on Liu Yan’er’s stomach, and she flew a short distance backward!

Crash! An old table was smashed into pieces!

Huangfu Lingyao’s eyes flickered slightly, and the next moment, he stood up and clapped his hands happily. “Wife is amazing! Beat her, beat this bad woman to death!”
