“What’s wrong?”

Liu Shimci was confused.

Mo’er did not say anything. She pulled a long face and turned sideways to signal for her to enter the house and take a look.

Liu Shimei walked into the room suspiciously. There was nothing wrong with the outside. If there was anything wrong, there was. It was just that there seemed to be something extra on the table.

She walked over and opened the lid of the basket, only to find that it was a basket of fresh strawberries!

It was indeed the season for strawberries, but strawberries needed to be cultivated in a greenhouse to appear in a place like the Imperial Capital. Otherwise, how could there be strawberries just after the heavy snow?

It was obvious that this fruit was also a rare thing.

Mo’er followed behind her and pointed at her room with her chin.

Liu Shimei understood. So it was not for the basket of strawberries. She lifted the curtain and walked into her room, only to find someone lying on her bed!

The person with long arms and legs was hugging her blanket and sleeping soundly. He had a beautiful face and long eyelashes that covered his eyes like two thick feather fans.

Her heart skipped a beat.

His face was clearly very devilish, but he revealed a childlike and peaceful expression.

Who else could it be but Huangfu Lingyao?

“When did he come?” Liu Shimei asked Mo’er in surprise.

She was surprised because Mo’er actually agreed to let Huangfu Lingyao sleep here?

“Very early!” Mo’er pouted. “He came over in the afternoon. I told him that you weren’t home, but he insisted on waiting here. He said that he snatched a basket of strawberries from the Empress and wanted to give it to you! If it wasn’t for his sincerity, I wouldn’t have let him in! In the end, he turned around to do something else and came back. He directly slept on your bed!”

Liu Shimei was speechless.

Her focus was not on where Huangfu Lingyao slept, but on the strawberries he snatched from the Empress?

That must have been cultivated in the royal family’s greenhouse garden. He actually dared to snatch food from the empress to feed his future wife. He was really a silly dog that made people not know whether to laugh or cry!

Her cuteness melted one’s heart. She did not know whether to scold him or not.

Their conversation woke Huangfu Lingyao up.

This silly dog opened his eyes and even rubbed them. When he woke up, he looked like a puppy that had just woken up. It was extremely cute!

“Are you awake?” Liu Shimei’s lips curled into a smile as she tilted her head slightly to look at him.

After seeing the person in front of him clearly, the silly dog immediately displayed the endless energy of a husky. He jumped up from the bed and hugged Liu Shimei, saying, “Wife, you’re finally back. Where did you go? I didn’t see you the day before yesterday, I didn’t see you yesterday, and I didn’t see you today!”

“So you just stayed here and waited for me to come back?” Liu Shimei raised an eyebrow and glanced at Mo’er.

She had no intention of breaking free from his embrace.

It could not be helped. Although the person in front of him was an adult man, his appearance, actions, and eyes all looked like a cute child!

Mo’er pursed her lips and agreed.

The silly dog nodded repeatedly and said as if he was presenting a treasure, “Wife, do you like these strawberries? The Empress received two baskets and said she wanted to give one basket to Big Brother Crown Prince. I thought that my wife didn’t even have anything to eat, so I came over.”

“How did you get it?” Liu Shimei was very curious.

Hearing this question, Huangfu Lingyao was a little embarrassed to say it. He stole a glance at her from the corner of his eye and did not say anything.

Liu Shimei sighed slightly. She did not even need to think to know that it was definitely going to be a huge ruckus.

However, it was understandable, who did not know that King Dun Yu was a fool, and there were people everywhere who mocked and looked down on him. But when he went crazy, who would not be afraid?

“Is it sweet?” Liu Shimei did not ask any further. She pried his arm away and lowered her head to help him put on his shoes. “Get up and wash your face. Shall we eat together?”

She was treating him like a child, which was why she subconsciously helped him put on his shoes.

In Mo’er’s eyes, it was not good! Was it going to be like this in the future?

Huangfu Lingyao was still alright. He lowered his head to watch her movements and lowered his eyes to hide the light in his eyes.

She was a proud girl, but she was willing to lower her head and put on his shoes for him!
