The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 40

Finally, Shen Yue sat steadily on the chair.

He let out a sigh of relief and carefully inspected the chair legs.

They were quite sturdy, and the chair wasn’t wobbly. He shouldn’t fall again.

Settling in, Shen Yue didn’t know where to look.

It was truly… awkward and embarrassing!

Song Jin grinned at Shen Yue, baring her teeth. “Your Highness, now that you’re seated and won’t fall, can you let go of me?”

Shen Yue…

He looked down and saw his hand gripping Song Jin’s.

His large palm and long fingers enveloped Song Jin’s slender, fair hand.

His mouth twitched, and Shen Yue immediately jerked his hand away as if he’d been shocked.

He didn’t forget to wipe his hand on his clothes.

He had held this effeminate man’s hand!

Two grown men holding hands—what did that look like!

He felt angry, but his mind kept replaying the scene on the mountain when Song Jin hugged him from behind.

The faint scent of milk seemed to linger in his nose.

Shen Yue…

Was he sick?

Why was he thinking about this!

He glared at Song Jin with even more disgust.

Song Jin shook her hand, which had been squeezed painfully, and looked at Shen Yue as if he were crazy.

However, considering that Shen Yue had taken the fall for her several times, Song Jin kept her mouth shut.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was awkwardly tense.

It was at this moment that Master Song entered.

Han Bao was carrying the wild man leader on his shoulder.

As soon as they came in, Song Jin glanced at the wild man leader and said to Master Song, “Father, you and His Highness discuss your business. I won’t disturb you.”

Even though she was curious about the wild man’s situation, she didn’t want to meddle in adult affairs.

Master Song nodded, and Song Jin walked out.

While they were speaking, Han Bao pinched the wild man leader’s philtrum, waking him up in a daze.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Song Jin about to leave.

The wild man leader got so agitated that he ignored his situation and lunged at Song Jin.

Frightened by the sudden attack, Song Jin’s face turned pale as she dodged to the side.

The wild man leader missed, turned around, and bared his teeth.

Master Song hurried to protect Song Jin, but the wild man leader knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times to Song Jin.

Song Jin…

Master Song…

Shen Yue…

After kowtowing, the wild man leader looked up at Song Jin, eyes brimming with tears, and started babbling.

No one could understand him.

But he was clearly very emotional.

Song Jin…

Frowned at the wild man leader. “Do you know me?”

Obviously, the wild man leader couldn’t understand her.

He just gazed at Song Jin with deep emotion.

Recalling how the wild man leader had forced Shen Yue to marry a wild boar, Song Jin shivered.

Master Song stood beside Song Jin, frowning at the wild man leader.

The wild man’s hair was disheveled, and his face was filthy, but there was something familiar about him.

The longer Master Song stared at him, the stronger this feeling grew.

Han Bao also looked at the wild man leader.

He was standing behind him.

When the wild man leader knelt to kowtow to Song Jin, his neck was exposed, revealing a scar.

The wild man leader was so dirty that the scar wasn’t very noticeable unless one looked closely.

“Master Song.”

Han Bao pointed at the scar. Master Song’s eyes followed and his heart clenched. He instinctively stepped closer to examine it.

Master Song’s reaction piqued Shen Yue’s curiosity.

The wild man leader sensed someone approaching and quickly moved away.

He backed toward Song Jin as if seeking her protection.

Song Jin…

Master Song…

Shen Yue…

“This wild man seems to know Young Master Song,” Shen Yue observed.

Master Song’s face darkened upon hearing this.

His expression turned wary and defensive.

Shen Yue remained expressionless but gave Master Song a subtle glance.

Song Jin didn’t think much of it and swallowed nervously. “Maybe he thinks I look friendly! In a strange environment, he’s scared, and I look kind, so he thinks I won’t hurt him.”

Shen Yue shook his head.

“In the cave, he calmed down the moment he saw you, Young Master Song.”

Song Jin had no response to that.

After a moment of silence, Song Jin looked at Master Song. “Father, you and His Highness discuss your business. I’m hungry, so I’ll go get something to eat.”

Master Song’s expression made her feel that the wild man indeed recognized her and that her father also seemed somewhat familiar with him.

However, her father didn’t want this truth to come out.

At least not now.

So, the best thing for her to do was to leave.

Sure enough, as soon as Song Jin spoke, Master Song said, “You may leave.”

Shen Yue silently watched the wild man.

The moment Song Jin stepped out, the wild man grabbed her arm, looking anxiously between Master Song and Shen Yue, then shaking his head at Song Jin.

Song Jin smiled gently and patted his hand.

“Don’t worry. My father is a good man and won’t hurt you. If anyone tries to harm you, my father will protect you.”

Shen Yue…

Was he not a good man!

Is that something to say!

However, despite her words, the wild man remained agitated. He clung to Song Jin’s arm and shook his head frantically.

Seeing Song Jin unmoved, he suddenly positioned himself in front of her, spreading his arms protectively.

His eyes were fierce as he bared his teeth at Master Song.

Shen Yue’s expression grew serious.

Master Song felt a tightening in his chest, a heavy feeling of unease.

By now, he had a suspicion.

But he couldn’t let Shen Yue know.

Clenching his fist, Master Song looked at Han Bao.

Han Bao understood and stepped forward.

The wild man started screaming, his voice filled with fear and desperation.

Han Bao raised his hand and struck the back of the wild man’s neck, knocking him out.

Watching this, Song Jin felt a twinge of guilt.

The wild man seemed to believe her father and Shen Yue were bad people and had tried to protect her.

Why was this happening!

Song Jin’s curiosity grew even stronger.

Master Song looked at Song Jin. “Leave.”

Song Jin hesitated but then walked out.

Some things were better left unknown.

In novels, heroines often got into trouble because they knew too much.

Although they always escaped danger in the end, their lives were too thrilling.

She didn’t want that kind of excitement.

She wasn’t that smart; she was just an ordinary person.

After Song Jin left, Master Song glanced at the wild man and ordered Han Bao, “Take him away.”

Shen Yue then said, “Master Song, what do you mean? This man was brought down the mountain by me.”
