Chapter 706: A Question Without an Answer

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation

“Hmm?” Liu Shimei was taken aback, looking at him with surprise.

She saw her silly puppy, which usually had an innocent demeanor, now displaying a bit more caution and… restraint?

Her glance made Huangfu Lingyao’s scalp tingle, and he hurriedly added, “It’s the kind of situation where there are difficulties, not intentional!”

Liu Shimei stared at him for a long time, making his scalp numb.

Huangfu Lingyao regretted it!

He shouldn’t have asked!

However, Liu Shimei wasn’t scrutinizing him because she suspected anything; instead, she found it peculiar. “Why would you think of such a question? Did someone deceive you?”

Huangfu Lingyao’s heart pounded violently, thinking, ‘Does my wife trust me too much? Does she have no suspicion of me at all?’

Feeling increasingly guilty!

Liu Shimei tilted her head and looked at him, resting her elbow on her knee and supporting her cheek, asking, “Lingyao, who deceived you?”

Huangfu Lingyao already regretted impulsively ‘walking into the trap’ at this point!

But with the situation unfolding like this, he could only steel himself and say, “No one deceived me, I just wanted to ask you! Wife, if someone, not intentionally, but due to unavoidable circumstances, deceives you, can you forgive him?”

Although Liu Shimei had never doubted her husband, she was curious about why he suddenly raised this question. “Why would you think of such a question?”

“Just answer me first!” Huangfu Lingyao just wanted her to give an answer. If he continued asking, he might end up kneeling before her!

After staring at him for a while, seeing that he was genuinely serious in his inquiry, Liu Shimei tilted her head to look at the moon.

Well, it’s the question from her silly puppy, so she must answer carefully!

After contemplating for a moment, she replied, “It depends on the reason.”

The tension in Huangfu Lingyao’s heart, which had been held tightly, loosened slightly. He thought, ‘My wife is indeed the best person in the world. Even if someone deceives her, she can rationally analyze whether the other person has reasons or difficulties.’

But then, she added, “Secondly, it depends on the extent of the deception.”

Huangfu Lingyao’s inner tension suddenly tightened again:!!!

He quickly pondered in his mind, ‘To what extent did I deceive her?’

In fact, he did not initially consider it deception, just concealment. But to avoid suspicion, he later told many lies, and to sustain those lies, he spun even more. So much that he himself couldn’t remember how many there were!

So, what extent was it?

Liu Shimei hadn’t finished speaking: “Furthermore, I also need to know if the deception was malicious or for some other reason. The kind of harm it caused me is also crucial!”

She faced his question very seriously, saying, “So Lingyao, I can’t give a direct answer to your question. When facing the situation, a specific analysis is necessary to know how I would react. Otherwise, even if I say now how I would handle it, in the actual moment, I might not act that way.”

Huangfu Lingyao:”…”

So, did he ask an unanswerable question?

Dare he speak now?

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Liu Shimei turned her head, seeing him sitting there lost in thought. She nudged his elbow and laughed, “What’s the matter? Could it be you want to say you lied to me about something?”

It was a joke, and she hadn’t actually thought he lied to her about anything.

Even in the past, when she suspected his foolishness, she always felt that the vast world held all kinds of wonders. Characterizing his foolishness as not entirely genuine, occasionally revealing his true nature, was understandable.

So, it could be said that she truly had no guard against him!
