Chapter 249: If I Don’t Hold His Hand, I’m Afraid I’ll Lose Him

The banquet was held in the huge Spring Autumn Hall. In order to avoid offending the nobles if they were late, the young masters and noble ladies of smaller families naturally came early. This was an unwritten rule.

The later the appearance, the bigger they are.

When he heard that the Crown Prince had arrived, Wan Qing hurriedly left Misty Pavilion. Liu Yan’er, on the other hand, calculated that it was almost time before she left.

Liu Shimei did not want to be too high-profile now. To her, it did not matter whether she went earlier or later. In fact, she did not really want to go. She just wanted to secretly look for her puppy later.

However, Zhang Miaozhen invited her to go with her, so she had no choice but to follow.

Halfway along the road, they met King Dun Yu who was running like a silly husky on the grass!

The silly puppy ran over and grabbed Liu Shimei’s hand. He said happily, “Wife, you can go to the banquet now! I can finally come and find you!”

When Liu Shimei saw his smile, she could not help but smile as well. She took out a handkerchief and handed it to him. “Look at you, sweating all over. You’re so tall that I can’t do it for you. Wipe it yourself.”

However, her young puppy did not listen to her. Instead, he bent his knees and lowered his body to be about the same height as her. He leaned in front of her and said, “This way, Wife can wipe my forehead!”

Liu Shimei was speechless.

Damn, I told you he was smart!

She wiped the sweat off his forehead while Zhang Miaozhen led her maidservant to bow to Huangfu Lingyao. “Miaozhen greets King Dun Yu!”

She was not pretending, and she did not look down on Huangfu Lingyao. She was just doing what she had to do.

Liu Shimei thought to himself, ‘This friend is not bad. If things develop in the long run, they can be good friends.’

Silly Second Prince had never seen someone so respectful to him. He hid behind Liu Shimei and whispered, “Wife, who is she?”

Liu Shimei could not help but chuckle and thought, ‘So my puppy is afraid of strangers?’

She pulled him out from behind and said, “Don’t be afraid, Miaozhen isn’t a bad person. She’s the Young Miss of the Grand Secretary Zheng’s family. She lives in the same courtyard as me and helps me out during the day. We’re friends now!”

“Oh!” The silly dog accepted it quickly and said to Liu Shimei happily, “Wife is so amazing. She just moved in and she’s already making friends!”

Liu Shimei smiled at him and held his hand as they walked forward. “Alright, let’s not waste any time. Let’s go.”

He then looked at Zhang Miaozhen and said, “Miaozhen, hurry up. Don’t be the last to arrive. Otherwise, you might steal the Crown… you might steal some young master’s thunder.”

She almost blurted out ‘Crown Prince’, but when she remembered that her young puppy did not like her mentioning the Crown Prince, she stopped in time.

Zhang Miaozhen smiled and nodded at Huangfu Lingyao before turning around to continue walking.

The etiquette was very good.

However, she still could not help but feel puzzled. She asked in a low voice, “Shimei, what are you doing? Why do you always hold King Dun Yu’s hand like this?”

It was not proper to do this, but seeing the two of them holding hands so naturally, she knew that she was already used to it.

Liu Shimei smiled and said, “Yeah, if 1 don’t hold his hand, I’m afraid I’ll lose him.”

She silently added in her heart, ‘It’s like walking a dog.’

These words made Zhang Miaozhen’s servant girl Xi’er burst out laughing and said, “Eldest Young Miss Liu, King Dun Yu is already an adult, how could he be lost?”

Liu Shimei smiled but did not say anything.

It was just a joke. How could she really lose him? She’s probably used to holding his hand, right?

It was as if she wanted to smile the moment she saw him. She wanted to hold hands when they walked together. She did not know where this mentality came from, but she wanted to, so she did it!

However, Huangfu Lingyao’s words were shocking. “Wife and I are going to get married in the future.. Shouldn’t husband and wife love each other?”
