Ye Mu was stunned. Didn't this go without saying? What was wrong?
He could share everything with Luo Qi; his entire being belonged to Luo Qi, so naturally, he had to be with Luo Qi all day long.
Madam Ye simply couldn't understand why such a smart person like herself would give birth to such a little fool, who was exactly like his idiotic father.
She patiently and persuasively said, "Even if you can be together now, you're both adults. Can he really spend his whole life with you?"
This hit Ye Mu's sore spot. The people around Luo Qi were increasing, and there was also Nina, who, relying on her young age, always spouted nonsense.
He knew that in his heart, no one could compare to Luo Qi. But in Luo Qi's heart, would he still be the most important person?
Yes, Ye Mu had been sulking for a long time, precisely because he wanted to be the most important person in Luo Qi's heart.
Madam Ye continued, "Luo Luo is the little prince of the Insect Race. He will definitely have to marry a consort in the future. That little girl from the palace has a very good relationship with Luo Luo and likes him a lot.
If Luo Luo has to marry a consort in the future, he might choose her."
Ye Mu's face darkened. He was angry today precisely because of that brat. Now, why was his mother fanning the flames and stabbing him in the heart?
Madam Ye secretly chuckled. He was so angry he was dazed and didn't even know why. This child was truly a simpleton.
Then, she thought that if Luo Qi really married that insect race girl, then her dream of becoming Luo Qi's dear mommy would be completely dashed. She couldn't help but become serious again.
"Do you want that girl to become Luo Luo's bride?"
Ye Mu shouted, "Of course not!"
Madam Ye then said, "Or perhaps someone else, another girl or boy, to be with Luo Qi? Will your position also belong to them in the future?"
Ye Mu shouted even louder, "Impossible! Luo Luo can only be closest to me!"
Madam Ye continued, "But Luo Luo definitely has to marry a consort. As long as he has a consort, there will be people closer to him interacting with Luo Qi."
Ye Mu frowned. The thought of that scene made the veins on his temples throb, and his fists clenched with a cracking sound. He wished he could immediately blast that yet-to-appear person away.
Madam Ye coaxed him, "So, if you don't want Luo Luo to marry someone else as his consort, what can you do?"
Ye Mu fell silent. A perfect answer surfaced in his mind, but he seemed afraid of disturbing something and dared not speak.
Madam Ye clasped her hands on her lap, gazing intently at her foolish son before her, her expression even more serious and earnest than when she was dealing with the wives of high officials from Earth.
If she lost face-to-face with those ladies, at most she would be laughed at behind her back. But if she couldn't make this foolish boy open his eyes now, then she wouldn't have her dear son-in-law (?) anymore!
"Ye Mu, do you still remember the most important thing Mommy told you when you were little?"
Ye Mu looked up at his mother, who exuded a very serious aura, and said, "I want to marry Luo Luo, I want to be with him."
Madam Ye clapped her hands happily, "Son! You truly are Mommy's good boy!"
Ye Mu was not as excited as Madam Ye imagined. Instead, he was very calm. The problem that had been bothering him for a long time was finally solved. He didn't want Luo Qi to be with anyone else, didn't want Luo Qi to have anyone closer to him besides himself.
Therefore, the one who would eventually be with Luo Qi, the one who would marry Luo Qi, must be him!
But he wanted to marry Luo Qi, not because of his mother's expectations, nor because of "not wanting Luo Qi to be with someone else."
It was because he liked Luo Qi.
He had liked Luo Qi for a very long time, since he was very young. He liked Luo Qi's round face and round eyes, and he liked Luo Qi's soft hands.
He liked Luo Qi's cheerful smile, liked the tears he shed when he was hurt, liked the little frown on his brow when he was angry.
He liked Luo Qi as a person. He couldn't live without him.
He liked him, he loved him.
They were a match made in heaven.
Ye Mu's eyes lit up little by little. All his confusion, anger, and the bitterness in his heart were resolved. All problems seemed to no longer be problems.
The fire surging in his chest turned into a deep sea. He wanted to return to Luo Qi's side immediately, wanted to see him right away.
Ye Mu suddenly stood up from the sofa, ready to return to the Insect Star right now.
He hadn't clarified things with Luo Qi when he left. Luo Qi must be very angry or confused now. Now that he knew his own feelings, he would definitely appease Luo Qi.
Appease him... his future lover.
No one in this world understood Luo Qi better than Ye Mu, and no one liked Luo Qi more than Ye Mu.
Ye Mu would definitely be with Luo Qi.
Madam Ye yawned slightly. It was late at night, and she was showing some fatigue.
Ye Mu looked guiltily at his mother, this reliable (?) adult. He prepared to escort Madam Ye back to sleep and then immediately pilot a starship back to the Insect Star.
As he reached the door of Madam Ye's bedroom, before he could push it open, the door opened from the inside. Ye Yun stood there expressionlessly, "Oh, treating this place like a mental clinic? You come back for the slightest problem, and when it's resolved, you're leaving without even saying goodbye?"
Ye Mu: "...No, I..."
Ye Yun snorted coldly, "Shut up. Even if you want to get married, you have to wait until tomorrow. There's a gathering at home tomorrow. You'll stay until after tomorrow and then leave."
Ye Mu was about to say something else when Ye Yun pulled Madam Ye back into the bedroom and looked at Ye Mu coldly:
"You don't have a wife yourself, so you're trying to snatch someone else's? What a disgrace."
Ye Mu: "..."
Madam Ye covered her mouth and smiled. Compared to this foolish son, her husband couldn't even be considered emotionally stunted.
Ye Mu wanted to explain, but he saw the door slam shut in front of him, almost hitting his nose.
He sighed and had no choice but to return to his own room. Today's events were indeed his fault. He hadn't greeted his father upon his return, and he had wanted to go back to the Insect Star immediately.
Fine, since he had figured things out now, he would go back tomorrow afternoon.
Ye Mu lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
Although this was his room, he had spent very little time sleeping here compared to being on the Insect Star. The sheets still carried the scent of sunshine, a wisp of it drilling into his nostrils.
It was already very late, and the sky was beginning to turn white. It would be dawn in another two or three hours, but Ye Mu had no desire to sleep at all. In fact, he felt extremely energetic.
He reached out and turned off the bedside lamp. In the quiet, dark room, he quietly curved his lips.
After a moment of sudden enlightenment, it seemed as if everything could be tasted with a hint of sweetness.
