The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 45

Shen Yue let go, and Song Jin naturally stopped controlling the dagger.

The dagger clattered to the ground, and the dejected Lu Zhan didn’t even have the heart to bend down and pick it up.

Wan Xi stepped forward, picked up the dagger, and handed it back to Lu Zhan. “Are you so happy that you’re a bit breathless?”

Lu Zhan… Whatever!

Wan Xi returned the dagger, then immediately sat down next to Song Jin at the round table. Delicious boiled fish, here I come! She was ready to dig in!

Shen Yue sat back in his chair, rubbing his temples, and glanced at Song Jin. If looks could kill! Why could this effeminate person control weapons, and he couldn’t kill with a look?

“I’m a prince. Don’t you have the basic respect and fear when you see a prince?” Shen Yue had wanted to ask this for a long time. He didn’t ask before because he felt it would make him look bad. But now, if he didn’t ask, he felt there would be no face left to lose. Was Song Jin an idiot who didn’t realize what it meant to be a prince? Otherwise, how could she be so reckless!

Song Jin picked up her chopsticks and grinned at Shen Yue. “Your Highness is indeed a prince, and that title deserves respect and fear. But if a prince pokes my face with a stick while I’m sleeping, I find it hard to respect him.”

Lu Zhan’s eyes shifted. For the life of him, he was curious why his master poked someone’s face that morning.

Shen Yue…

Song Jin paused, then continued, “As for fear, naturally, I do fear. But just because I fear doesn’t mean I should grovel. I haven’t done anything wrong.”

Of course, her confidence mainly came from having her father! Although her father wasn’t as powerful as Shen Yue’s father, he seemed to be tougher than Shen Yue. When her father spoke to Shen Yue, she didn’t see any fear on his face. Since her father wasn’t afraid, she had no reason to be. After all, her father was backing her. If her father had been afraid, she would have been cautious, as survival was crucial. Sometimes, being a bully to the weak and fearful of the strong was just a reality.

Shen Yue…

Song Jin finished speaking and put a piece of fish into her mouth. Seeing Song Jin start eating, Wan Xi immediately followed suit. As the fish entered her mouth, Song Jin chewed for a moment and frowned. Something was off! While it didn’t taste bad, it wasn’t as good as the boiled meat from the other day. Probably exhausted from the long journey, Lu Zhan’s performance was off.

Song Jin didn’t dwell on it and quickly finished the pot of boiled fish with Wan Xi. Once they were full, the master and servant got up to leave.

As they stepped over the threshold of Shen Yue’s room, Wan Xi whispered to Song Jin, “Young master, this Fourth Highness, he seems a bit dumb, doesn’t he?”

Song Jin righteously corrected, “If you think someone is dumb, just say they’re dumb. Saying someone seems a bit dumb is very hurtful.”

Wan Xi rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded. “You’re right, saying someone looks dumb is indeed hurtful. Young master, you’re such a good person, always thinking of others.”

The master and servant chatted as they walked to Song Jin’s room. Lu Zhan rolled his eyes, trying not to have too many emotional fluctuations. Right now, he was just an abandoned salted fish.

Shen Yue sat in his chair, about to explode. What sin had he committed to meet such people! To suffer such indignities! Enough!

Shen Yue jumped up, his face dark, and said to Lu Zhan, “Pack up, we’re leaving now.” Anyway, Song Dingzhong wouldn’t tell him anything about the wild man. Why stay and endure this humiliation! Wasn’t going back home better!

As soon as Shen Yue gave the order, Lu Zhan moved his eyes and looked at Shen Yue. Seeing Lu Zhan’s state, Shen Yue snapped, “What, do you really want to stay!”

Lu Zhan… Wait! Does this mean he doesn’t have to stay?

Lu Zhan instantly perked up. “Your Highness, I’ll pack right away!”

Lu Zhan sprang into action, and Shen Yue, still fuming, headed towards Song Jin’s room. After a few steps, something felt wrong, and he quickly sat back in his chair. “Push me to the room across.”

Lu Zhan… What?

Staring in shock at Shen Yue. Seeing Shen Yue’s dark face but no further words, a flash of understanding hit Lu Zhan. His master was afraid of falling. If he didn’t walk, he wouldn’t fall.

Lu Zhan quickly pushed the chair towards Song Jin’s room. It was easy to push on flat ground, but crossing the threshold…

Shen Yue cautiously stood up, stepping over the threshold carefully, stabilizing himself against the wall, then sat back in the chair once Lu Zhan moved it over. Watching his master’s actions, Lu Zhan… It was heart-wrenching, but he wanted to laugh, and he couldn’t hold it in! To avoid laughing in front of Shen Yue, Lu Zhan quickly pushed him into Song Jin’s room.

Song Jin was chatting and drinking tea with Wan Xi when Shen Yue was pushed in, and she couldn’t help but spit her tea out at the sight. Tea sprayed out, followed by a burst of laughter.

Wan Xi laughed so hard she rolled on the floor. Lu Zhan looked at them with envy. They could laugh freely. Unlike him, who had to hold it in.

Shen Yue’s face grew darker, and then he remembered that Song Jin had just spit on him earlier. He hadn’t wiped it off and had spoken to her for so long. This…

Filled with rage, Shen Yue jumped up and walked towards Song Jin. “Song Jin!” The words squeezed out between gritted teeth. But before Shen Yue could say more, an accident happened. Though he had stood with his feet apart, his left foot tripped over his right as he stepped forward.

“Ah!”

Seeing Shen Yue fall, Song Jin couldn’t laugh anymore. A scream erupted from her throat.

Shen Yue fell straight toward her. Oh no! Didn’t the curse fall on Shen the White Lotus for me? Why does this feel wrong…

Song Jin instinctively tried to dodge, but she wasn’t quick enough.

Thud! Shen Yue landed on top of Song Jin. The impact knocked Song Jin off her chair, and she fell to the ground. Shen Yue, a six-foot man, lay fully on top of her.

Shen Yue’s hand… Rested somewhere it shouldn’t.

“Damn you! Get off me!” Song Jin roared, pushing Shen Yue away.

As soon as Song Jin’s angry shout echoed, a bolt of lightning struck the clear sky outside. Boom! Then…

Wan Xi, who had been laughing until her stomach hurt, stopped immediately and rushed to help her master. Lu Zhan also hurried to help his prince.

“Young master, are you alright?”

“Your Highness, are you alright?”

Wan Xi and Lu Zhan spoke in unison.

“Ah!” A blood-curdling scream erupted from Shen Yue’s mouth, filled with terror and pain.
