Yingying and the Dog - Chapter 11

Chapter 11

After we finished dealing with the Former Emperor, I asked Xiao Huan, “If your cheat ability is that powerful, why do you still need me to be emperor?”

Xiao Huan was completely unconcerned. “Because I’ve realized my lifelong dream is to be a fragile, pampered husband. As long as I have your love, that’s enough.”

Xiao Huan accused me of spending my last life fighting and grasping for everything.

I didn’t love him. I didn’t like him. I didn’t even give him the time of day.

After I pried the throne out of his mouth, I tossed him aside and immediately took the Chancellor’s two sons into the palace.

A fragile, pampered husband like Xiao Huan was the pettiest sort.

One moment of despair, and he died from sheer anger.

I felt like this plotline was a little fake.

So I quietly eavesdropped on Xiao Huan’s thoughts.

[Haha, my artistic embellishment is way too strong. Anyone who didn’t know better would think Lu Yingying and I were trapped in some grand, tortured romance.]

[Fake. It wasn’t that serious at all. In my last life, Lu Yingying thought I was insane.]

[When I saw Little Laundry Powder looking at me with fear while pretending nothing was wrong, oh, my heart ached so badly.]

[Anyway, with a cheat ability that powerful, it doesn’t matter who becomes emperor.]

[Lu Yingying and I are just the main characters of a brainless, bizarre little romance story. It’s not like we’re in some serious historical political drama.]

[My cheat ability only wants peace throughout the land. It never said I had to be the emperor.]

[Ah, I have to say, this cheat ability really is useful.]

[Letting me be reborn was already one thing, but it even gave me a golden finger.]

[Right, Miss Lu Yingying?]

I shuddered.

Why was he suddenly calling me out?

[Where else did you think your mind-reading superpower came from?]

[Silly.]

Good heavens!

I said, “Xiao Huan, you set me up.”

Xiao Huan raised an eyebrow. “So what if I did?”

“Lu Yingying, now that you’re emperor, you can’t forget where you came from. You have to agree to three rules with me.”

I was a good-tempered and enlightened ruler. “Go on, go on.”

“First, there can’t be any other men in the palace besides me. Your father is the exception.”

“Second, there can’t be any other women in the palace either. Your mother is the exception.”

“Third, I’m a man who transmigrated here, and now I can’t go back. You’re the only family I have. You can never leave me.”

He really sounded so pitiful. So humble.

I agreed. “All right, all right.”

Xiao Huan looked smug.

[This right here is the most assertive I’ve ever been.]

[I’m lying to you, Lu Yingying. Actually, before I transmigrated here, I didn’t have a family either.]

[Hehe.]

I smiled too. “Hehe.”

Why should I care about all that or whatever else?

I wasn’t actually under my husband’s thumb.

I just felt a little sorry for this fragile, pampered husband.

“Xiao Huan, let’s spend the rest of our lives like this.”

Xiao Huan tugged at the corner of his mouth and turned his face away. “Fine.”

“You’re the one who begged me, though.”

“A lifetime is very long. Don’t get sick of me.”

(The End)
