Chapter 436 - 436: Since You Can’t Sleep, Let’s ChatChapter 436: Since You Can’t Sleep, Let’s Chat
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shimei was worried. Although she had explicitly forbidden it for the past three days, Huangfu Lingyao hadn’t had any direct physical contact with her, but he had always been within a not-so-distant distance. It was unintentional, yet not entirely impossible.
So when she was half-asleep, feeling the person sleeping outside tossing and turning, her sleepiness vanished.
Huangfu Lingyao jerked and quickly said, “No! I just can’t sleep!”
“Is it because the bed is too small?” Liu Shimei thought of her silly dog’s long legs; the simple pallet she had laid out could not possibly accommodate his height.

If he said it wasn’t, Liu Shimei would definitely press him until she got to the bottom of it. What else could he say to bluff his way out?
Liu Shimei looked a bit concerned. “How about you go back to your room to sleep? There are indeed many mosquitoes outside in the summer. We have mosquito repellent at home, which should work fine, but it’s not advisable to use it continuously for too long outdoors.”
Huangfu Lingyao firmly refused, “I don’t want to!”
Liu Shimei fell silent.
She was not surprised at all by his response; it was completely expected!
“Wife, did I wake you up? So now you can’t sleep either?” Huangfu Lingyao sat up and asked the person in the window.
Liu Shimei replied, “I slept too much during the day, so now I’m having trouble sleeping in the middle of the night.”
She wasn’t someone who needed a lot of sleep in the first place.
“In that case, let’s chat!” Huangfu Lingyao gave up on sleep altogether.
As long as she was not tired, he did not have high demands for the length of their sleep.
Liu Shimei’s words were laced with a smile as she asked, “Alright, what should we chat about then?”
Huangfu Lingyao thought for a moment and said, “I mentioned to you and Ninth Brother earlier that I suspect someone deliberately sent A’fu here. Wife, have you figured out who might be behind this mischief?”
Playing this role for seven years had made using these words almost second nature to him. He used an innocent, childlike tone and phrasing.
Who knows, what if one day he doesn’t need to act anymore, can he return to normal?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLiu Shimei had no doubts about this at all. She remained silent for a moment before saying, “I’ve made guesses, but I can’t be certain.”
Huangfu Lingyao asked, “So, who do you guess it might be?”
Liu Shimei thought for a moment and replied, “The Yu family is a possibility. We recently offended the Miao siblings, so it’s not impossible. Then there are those restless individuals in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence who can’t stand to see me prosper. Lastly, it could be a business rival!”
Huangfu Lingyao raised an eyebrow, thinking, ‘Indeed, my wife is clever. She’s thought of almost every possibility.’
Although she did not directly consider that it might be Du Gong causing trouble behind the scenes, guessing in the direction of a business rival was a pretty close guess.
But he could not directly latch onto this answer and intended to deviate a bit. “That fishball girl is highly likely! We beat her so badly; she must hate both of us. But she’s afraid to attack me, so she might be targeting you.”
“It’s possible, but not certain,” Liu Shimei replied. “She wants to marry into the family, and the Yu family is definitely trying various methods to resolve the marriage. As for dealing with me, the Grand Princess will probably leave that for later.”
In the future, after she married Huangfu Lingyao, the Grand Princess would become her senior, and it was only natural for seniors to instruct juniors, even if it was a generation apart.
Huangfu Jiao had plenty of opportunities to get back at her; there was no need to do it now.
Except for Yu Wanqing, who was acting foolish and hadn’t fully recovered yet, and had come out to provoke her!
Huangfu Lingyao blinked and asked again, “Could it be your wicked sister or your stepmother?”
