"There's no need; Grandpa has already driven Lin Wanyan out of City A. Lin Wanyan has received the lesson she deserved." I smiled at Yu Longting, holding Tangtang in one arm and taking his hand with the other, "Yu Longting, I don't feel comfortable staying at the Lin Family. Let's go back to Spring Wind Town in three days."
"Only three days? I still have some things to do at the Lin Family." Yu Longting frowned and slapped something golden and chubby on my neck.
The pair of black bean-like eyes of Xiao Yuanyuan looked innocently at Yu Longting.
Then Xiao Honghong's head also peeked out.
Feeling the dangerous gaze from Yu Longting, it very deftly retreated back in.
I took Xiao Yuanyuan from his hand, holding it tightly, and chuckled, "What could you possibly have to do at the Lin Family? Otherwise... should I talk to Grandpa and stay a few more days?"
"No need, I don't like the Lin Family, the Exorcist smells awful. Let's go, the chill here is strong." Yu Longting wrapped an arm around my waist and unexpectedly lifted me into the air, "As for what it is, can I tell you later? I'm afraid it might scare you."
Held in Yu Longting's arms, I didn't feel any discomfort, feeling all my weight supported by him.
Tangtang in my arms looked fascinated, blinking her eyes over and over.
As for me, I was suspiciously wondering what Yu Longting could be doing at the Lin Family... and how it could be frightening to me...
"What should I do, I don't have an umbrella, and the rain is getting heavier." Lin Hang was completely drenched by the slanted downpour unleashed by Ye Zi's hand, looking utterly pathetic.
I glanced back with a feeling of pity, "Yu Longting, did you only bring one umbrella?"
"Just one, young people have strong energy, getting wet in the rain is good for the body and soul. You're pregnant and can't catch cold," said Yu Longting as he hung a rabbit fur scarf around my neck.
Lin Hang: "Is this... even humane??"
My mother and Zhang Che were mostly not at the Waterside Pavilion.
After we returned, Yu Longting prepared some ginger soup for me to drink, then left.
I took Tangtang to the Waterside Pavilion's Scripture Pavilion to read books until the evening, but Yu Longting still hadn't returned after dinner.
"Mom, I'll stay at the Lin Family for another three days." I carefully removed the bones from the fish meat and fed it to Tangtang.
Tangtang ate with relish, her face full of sweet smiles.
My mother was somewhat surprised, "You're leaving? Did your Grandpa not stop you?"
"Snake Lord's identity makes it inconvenient to stay long at the Lin Family," Zhang Che reminded my mother.
My mother fell silent and nodded slightly.
Zhang Che suddenly spoke up, "Wanwan, do you know that Yu Longting went to the attic today and even had Zhang Shuying on the lookout?"
"Pfft—" I spat out a mouthful of pork rib soup, "What? He went to the attic... to see Qing Li..."
Is this what he meant by the matter he had to do without telling me?
Zhang Che hinted, "Many rumors are not without basis, and since Qing Li gave birth to Tangtang, it couldn't have been asexual reproduction. Miss Wan, do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Uh... yeah... I get it..."
With things laid out so plainly, even an idiot would understand.
Even Uncle Zhang was suspecting the relationship between Yu Longting and Qing Li...
After dinner, I made sure Lin Xintang was settled in.
I lay alone on the spacious Step-Out Bed, lost in a whirlwind of thoughts.
I was completely certain of Yu Longting's character, absolutely trusting him.
But there was this uncomfortable feeling in my heart, sour and aching.
Uncle Zhang knew about him visiting Qing Li and they still kept it from me, wasn't that just self-deception?
That damn faithless Snake Lord, staying out all night to see another woman, and that woman was his...
His rumored girlfriend!!
I frustratedly covered my face with an old-fashioned embroidered pillow, "If I think about Yu Longting again, I'm an idiot, I won't think about him ever again..."
"Hehe... you're not even worthy of him," came a mocking laugh, chillingly creeping in through the window lattices.
