Even Yu Rongling in the corner raised his head in admiration, "Impressive, my sister-in-law's first love! With skills like that in stealing someone's woman, my brother's position is in danger."
My heart uncontrollably trembled, and my face nearly failed to conceal my inner emotions, "Ye Jiqing, after so many years, your feelings might still be there, but mine..."
I was about to firmly reject Ye Jiqing, so as to nip this romantic entanglement in the bud.
Yu Longting, with an amused expression, interrupted me with a smile, "Young Master Ye, your words are touching, but Su Wan can't possibly agree to you, because she and I have a contract."
Ye Jiqing hastily inquired, "What... what kind of contract?"
"She has to give me two children before I can set her free. Can you wait?"
Yu Longting challenged.
Ye Jiqing clenched his fists, his eyes swirling with suppressed anger, "All of this... all of this is her father's fault, you can't blame her entirely, nor should you take revenge on her."
"Since Young Master Ye is so infatuated, I'll generously take a step back. Then... let's wait until this child is born, and let Wanwan choose for herself whom she wants to be with." Yu Longting raised his eyebrows, "That's not too much to ask, is it? Surely, you, young man, don't want to harm my and Wanwan's child?"
Seeing Ye Jiqing's icy expression, I guessed he might have that intention, but he dared not voice it. Latest content published on novel⟡fire.net
Ye Jiqing's eyes were ablaze with cold fury, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.
My face had already turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and the words I was about to say were stuffed back by a look from Yu Longting.
This guy making decisions on my behalf, talking as if I'm some sort of backup option for Ye Jiqing, what on earth is he thinking??
It's infuriating, this feeling of being forced to play the role of a lord with a fishpond, it's enough to drive anyone to rage.
How can Yu Longting make such a decision for me??
"Ye Jiqing, coincidences are fate too, how about you invite me and Wanwan over to the Ye Residence for dinner?" Yu Longting said again.
Ye Jiqing's eyes were filled with gloom and wariness, "What... what do you mean by that?"
"Let's do it tonight, it's just a simple meal, don't worry, I won't do anything to your parents. If I really wanted to do something, would I need an excuse like having dinner to go over?" Yu Longting spoke as if bewitching.
I saw a flash of purple light in his eyes, probably because I possess the Spiritual Eye.
Without knowing the Snake Immortal's arts, I instantly knew this was a Charm Technique.
Ye Jiqing nodded dumbly, speaking in a gentle and polite tone, "Alright, then, I look forward to your visit."
"You can leave now." Yu Longting finished speaking to Ye Jiqing and then turned to say to Yu Rongling, "Dumbass, return the ring to him."
"Alright, big brother." Yu Rongling scurried off, tossing the ring to Ye Jiqing.
Ye Jiqing took the ring and left.
As soon as the door to the room closed, I stormed off to the balcony, not wanting to see Yu Longting.
"Are you angry?" Yu Longting's voice came from behind me, as if unsure of my emotions.
I didn't even turn my head, "Can't I be? I don't want to deal with you, so stay away from me."
"Is this the first time... you're getting angry with me? That's great, my dear wife is willing to get angry with me, you look very cute when you're angry, I particularly like it." Yu Longting wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, his lips brushing against my earlobe as he murmured in a sigh, "Wanwan, your intelligence really frustrates me, it seems to only kick in when we are capturing demons. Haven't you always wished for your freedom? Now with a word from me, as long as you give birth to our Dumpling, I'll grant you freedom. Isn't that a good thing? What's there to be angry about?"
..." I was left speechless, filled with grievance, this Snake is too glib.
I admit I'm a fool, totally unable to keep up with his emotional and intellectual level, are you happy now!!
Seeing that I remained silent for quite some time, Yu Longting let out a pleasing low chuckle from his throat, "It seems Wanwan doesn't want freedom after all, having not just one Dumpling, but two isn't too much to ask for."
