Chapter 339 : It’s Not Easy Being the Head of Household 23 (2/2)

‘The Prime Minister still likes me after all!’

However, Duan Qingyun finally realized something was wrong the second he found himself locked in a firewood shed. “What are you doing? I want to see the Prime Minister!”

Dai Yue coldly looked at him. “See Her Excellency?”

‘In your dreams!’

Dai Yue got people to lock the door.

“Let me out! I want to see the Prime Minister!” ‘She likes me, so she wouldn’t do this to me! This must be the idea of these servants!’

Duan Qingyun shouted till he went hoarse, but still no one answered him.

……

When Shi Sheng heard that Dai Yue had brought Duan Qingyun back, she wished she could give the former a few solid smacks.

‘Why’d you bring him back?!

Even if you were afraid to make a move with the Ning Princess present, then what about when you descended the mountain?!

The way back is so long! You could’ve just killed him at any time and disposed of the body! Why’d you bring him back?!’

Dai Yue seemed to be able to read Shi Sheng’s mental shouting through her eyes.

Dai Yue rubbed her nose a bit awkwardly. ‘I was just thinking about how we’d answer to the Ning Princess if she comes looking for him after he’s dead…’

“Go kill him! Right now! Immediately! At once!” Shi Sheng slapped the table before leaving to go coax her waifu.

Feng Ci used to just straight-up burn people when he was jealous. But due to this world’s setting, he could only storm off in a huff.

Shi Sheng didn’t manage to convince him even after spending what felt like the greater half of the day. In the end, not even sacrificing herself would do. She even ended up being chased off the bed!

Shi Sheng felt like she ought to mark this on Dai Yue’s record.

Dai Yue, who had been about to kill Duan Qingyun, sneezed several times. “…”

‘Is Her Excellency thinking of me?’

Shi Sheng scooted over to the bedside to look down at the curled-up lump on the bed.

She poked him.

There was no movement.

“I didn’t bring him back! Waifu, please be reasonable ah!” Shi Sheng tugged at the blanket.

Ling Yue clutched tightly onto the blanket, giving Shi Sheng no chance to pull it away.

If she tried to pull from another direction, Ling Yue would continue fighting her for it as though they were competing to see who was stronger.

Shi Sheng let go of the blanket with a headache.

#What do I do when my waifu ignores me out of jealousy? Pls, need help asap!#

She’d experienced first-hand just how jealous Feng Ci could get in their previous encounters. Sometimes people had ended up suffering simply because her gaze had lingered a beat too long.

So his current tantrum…was really just the tip of the iceberg.

Shi Sheng prattled on and on like a nagging mother.

Ling Yue curled up beneath the blanket. He wasn’t really all that angry. Instead, he felt a certain warmth and fuzziness inside. It was a warmth that seemed to settle into his very soul.

He liked the feeling of being coaxed by her.

Shi Sheng had to speak for nearly ten minutes, before Ling Yue finally poked his head out from under the blanket. Perhaps because there was insufficient oxygen under there, his face was already flushed through and a thin layer of sweat had formed on his forehead.

Shi Sheng helped him tidy up his hair. “You’re sweating, do you want to wash up? Otherwise, you’re going to be uncomfortable when you go to bed in a bit. Are you still angry?”

Ling Yue grabbed her hand. “Promise me something.”

“Speak.” Shi Sheng nodded.

“From now on…” Ling Yue’s lips moved, but no sound came out.

“What?”

“From now on…” Ling Yue grit his teeth. “Let me be on top.”

Shi Sheng blinked and suddenly smiled. She spoke in an indulgent tone, “Fine. If you want to be on top, you can be on top from now on.”

Ling Yue hadn’t expected her to agree so quickly. Other than surprise, he felt joy.

In this day and age, if a woman was willing to let the man be on top, it was a pretty good indicator she was serious about him. It was the type of adoration that went as deep as one’s bones.
