I saw his deeply aggrieved expression and couldn't help but laugh, "Lin Huan loves me a lot, he hasn't bullied me."
"He hasn't bullied you, then why are you crying? This old man loves you? You're lying so poorly?" Yu Longting grabbed my chin, his face full of disbelief.
His questioning made me too embarrassed to say that I couldn't bear to see Lin Huan leave, "I'm not lying, I'm crying... because... he took my mother back to the Lin Family, to acknowledge our ancestors, I can't bear to part with my mom."
"You actually believe this old man, you let him take your own mother away," Yu Longting's finger tapped on my forehead, his face full of helplessness.
Seeing that we were still on the street and that many people were already looking over, I pulled him to walk back, "Let's go back and discuss this, you really misunderstand Lin Huan, he even said he wants me to inherit the Lin Family."
"Does Mr. Lin want to kill Dumpling?" Yu Longting's face immediately darkened.
I was completely speechless, dragged him up to the dormitory, pushed him down on the bed to sit, then straddled his legs, "Listen to me, Lin Huan wants to... your hands... what are you doing with your hands..."
"Wife, with this pose, are you not intentionally seducing me? If I don't make a move, you might suspect that I've lost interest in you." Yu Longting's hands clenched my waist, and he actually used his teeth to undo the buttons on my cheongsam.
I sat on his legs, my intentions obviously not so pure, just wanting to entice him.
Wanting him to accept what I said and not harbor such strong hostility towards Lin Huan.
My waist itched from his pinch and also felt slightly painful.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, whispering into his ear, "I'm not well read, is this how the idiom is used?"
"Falling flowers drifting water, inverted phoenixes, nuptial flowers and candles... How about these phrases..."
"Not good! Let's talk about something serious first, Yu Longting, why do you think Lin Huan wants to kill Dumpling?"
"If you inherit the Lin Family, then you must have your own descendants, and they cannot be of a Different Race, to pass on the lineage. If Lin Huan wants to ensure the bloodline isn't tainted, he might kill Dumpling, force you to leave me, and marry... a human." Yu Longting banged his forehead onto my chest, his body enveloped in a gloomy aura.
Because he couldn't relate to my kinship with Lin Huan, his thoughts were pessimistic and cruel...
I sighed softly, "Yu Longting, at first I was also puzzled why Lin Huan would choose me, even though a human lineage from me in this lifetime is impossible after being with you."
"What's there to be puzzled about? Exorcists are ruthless, their hands stained with blood from countless creatures over the millennia. If he dares to take you from me, I'll slaughter the entire Exorcist family..." Yu Longting's voice was muffled, with a hissing tone.
He was revealing his true nature...
One could imagine just how murderous his mind was at that moment.
Surprisingly, I wasn't at all intimidated by him; brutal as he was, he just cared too much for me, "No, Lin Huan personally said he wants Dumpling to inherit the Lin Family."
"Certainly, laughably ludicrous. Bet he wants me to inherit my ants' debts too. These are just Lin Huan's tricks. Wife, you must not be deceived by him. How could the Exorcist family ever tolerate rule by a Different Race? His intentions are condemnable!" Yu Longting smirked darkly and tore open all the buttons of my cheongsam in one go.
I shrank my neck as I saw his ferocious and brutal gaze, just about to open my mouth to explain...
My stomach began to tickle from inside, and the thin skin of my belly showed slight undulations—it was the baby moving.
Dumpling's voice was milky as he said, "Great-grandfather genuinely cares for me."
"Dumpling once saved Lin Huan, Lin Huan personally said so, that Dumpling is good, and he likes Dumpling." I blinked at Yu Longting.
Yu Longting's palm pressed on my lower abdomen, "Let's talk about this later; this child really doesn't know any better, interrupting his dad handling official matters..."
Suddenly, the baby movements in my belly quieted down.
I twitched the corner of my lips, "You are also... too..."
"Wanwan, I've been holding back for many days now." Yu Longting placed my hand on the opening of my shirt, his voice husky, "Don't you feel sorry for me?"
