Liu Shimei, the so-called embroidered belt with a decapitated golden oriole, was just his fabrication!
Lying to his wife, karma shouldn't strike so quickly!
Huangfu Lingyao was utterly bewildered. Despite his acting skills, he was momentarily dumbfounded before responding, "Oh, that thing, it's not important! It's getting late, let's finish this drink and I'll escort you back."
"It was a gift from your Empress Mother, isn't it important?" Liu Shimei asked suspiciously.
Her silly puppy nodded, then shook his head, saying, "It's not that it's not important at all, it's just... well, compared to Wife, of course, it's not important!"
Flattery can win hearts, who doesn't love sweet words?
No matter how rational Liu Shimei was, she was still a young girl. How could she not feel elated when her fiance said that his deceased mother's keepsake was less important than her?
