TFWYH – Chapter 758 Thinking of Her

Inside the tray lay a light-purple palace gown.

Tang Wan merely glanced at it before looking away. She walked over to Ling Yu, the worry in her eyes completely undisguised.

“Husband, what’s wrong? Why haven’t you eaten? Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I’ll go beat them up.”

“I’m fine,” Ling Yu replied.

He pointed at the gown.

“The envoys from the Feng Kingdom have already arrived in the capital. His Majesty is hosting a banquet tonight in their honor. The Imperial Noble Consort asked me to bring this gown to you. Go change into it, dress yourself properly, and accompany me to the palace.”

Tang Wan frowned at the gown, her face filled with resistance.

“Again? Clothes like this are uncomfortable. Can’t I just not go?”

“…”

I don’t want you to go either. I’d much rather you never meet your father.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Yu held her hand and patiently coaxed her.

“You are my wife and also County Lady Wengnai, personally invested by His Majesty. How can you be absent? It would be improper.”

“Fine.”

Tang Wan pouted and, with obvious reluctance, reached to untie her clothes.

The corner of Ling Yu’s eye twitched.

“You’re changing here?”

Tang Wan looked at him suspiciously.

“Why not?”

What part of me haven’t you seen, touched, or bitten before? What’s wrong with borrowing this place to change clothes?

“Go back to our room and change.”

After saying that, Ling Yu sighed in resignation.

“Forget it. I’ll accompany you.”

Tang Wan: …

Taking off your pants just to fart—what a pointless extra step.

In the end, the young couple returned to their room to change.

Not only that, but Ling Yu did something unprecedented—he personally helped Tang Wan with her hair and makeup and even drew her eyebrows for her.

The unusual behavior made Tang Wan glance at him several times.

“Husband, are you really okay?”

“I’m fine.”

While carefully shaping her brows, Ling Yu asked,

“I simply want to know whether the promise you made to me before still stands.”

Tang Wan tilted her head in confusion.

I’ve promised you countless things. Which one are you talking about?

“Never mind. It doesn’t matter whether you remember or not…”

Whether it’s the Feng Kingdom or that Doctor, I won’t let you go.

Tang Wan: ??

Her beautiful husband was definitely acting strange.

Still, there was a reason people called him an all-around genius.

After Ling Yu’s skillful work, Tang Wan became even more breathtaking.

Every frown, every glance over her shoulder seemed meticulously crafted by heaven itself.

Her long, narrow eyes curved upward at the corners, adding a touch of charm that softened some of her usual coolness.

Her slender waist seemed delicate enough to grasp with one hand, while the flowing light-purple palace dress fluttered around her like the garments of a celestial maiden descending from the Ninth Heaven.

Even Tang Wan herself was startled by her reflection in the mirror.

She was…

Absolutely stunning.

Ling Yu gazed at that beautiful face with complicated emotions.

For a moment, he had the urge to wash away her makeup.

But when he thought of Murong Hong and that National Preceptor…

Forget it.

He would never deliberately make Tang Wan look unattractive because of such matters.

Doing so would only embarrass her and damage her dignity.

It might also cause the people from the Feng Kingdom to believe that he treated her poorly.

He chose to trust her…

“Don’t disappoint me, all right?” Ling Yu murmured softly.

Tang Wan: ?

She was completely baffled.

The young couple climbed into their carriage.

The horse Tàxuě (“Snow Treader”) required no driver at all and obediently pulled the carriage toward the imperial palace.

By now, dusk had fallen, yet the palace was bustling with activity.

When they arrived at the palace gates, many officials’ carriages were already waiting there.

Ling Yu carefully helped Tang Wan down from their carriage.

Just as the couple was about to enter the palace gates, the carriage from the Prime Minister’s residence arrived as well.

Prime Minister Gu stepped down and immediately fixed his gaze on Ling Yu before striding over with a hearty laugh.

“Minister Ling, it has been far too long! How have you been lately?”
