Roughly the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, Huangfu Lingyao slowly released Liu Shimei. His body settled down, and his expression and gaze, which had been fierce like a big bad wolf, returned to the innocent and soft look of a little white rabbit.
"Wife, would you like some water?"
He, a husky full of sweetness, was extremely attentive. It really confirmed the saying: as long as a man's hunger is satisfied, he can lift his woman up to the sky!
Although he hadn't eaten his fill, since having a meal wasn't possible, a kiss and a hug could temporarily quench his thirst, better than nothing.
His heart was somewhat comforted, but he still cursed fiercely under his breath, "That damned Huangfu He. It must be him, to buy time, pleading with Imperial Emperor, forcing me to marry after him! Hmph, a 21-year-old man who hasn't married yet. If he never marries a Crown Princess, it seems me and my wife can't marry either!"
