"Wasn't I just trying to figure things out? I have an appointment tonight at the Ye Family's house, to meet their people." Yu Longting picked me up and walked back to the bedroom, placing me on the bed.
I suddenly felt confused. What... what does this mean?
Just then, Rongling followed in eagerly, and Yu Longting threw a bank card at him, "Go buy a car, a large van."
"What do you mean?" Rongling didn't understand.
Yu Longting said, "Pets aren't allowed on the high-speed rail, so we'll drive back to Spring Wind Town."
"Pet, is he talking about me? I'm so adorable; surely I must be the most cherished pet to my brother and sister-in-law." Rongling, easily appeased, took Yu Longting's card and left cheerfully.
I, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief, clutching my chest, feeling somewhat dazed.
My mood today was even scarier than riding a roller coaster; there were times I doubted my life, thinking I liked Ye Jiqing.
It turned out it was because Love Soul had fallen on him that such a terrifying illusion occurred.
Yu Longting's Snake Eyes seemed to see right through me with their X-ray vision, placing my hand on his chest, "Wanwan, even if you don't like me, you couldn't possibly fall for Ye Jiqing. What are you worried about? I'm so outstanding; if even I don't capture your heart, how could Ye Jiqing stand a chance?"
At that moment, I actually didn't think he was narcissistic.
I was also grateful that Yu Longting was so wonderful that I wouldn't be confused by the illusion of Love Soul.
At least when that fluttering feeling approached, I doubted time and again whether these feelings were a mistake, without spending even a tiny bit of emotional energy on Ye Jiqing.
"Not having fallen for Ye Jiqing... that's really... great for me." I took the initiative, throwing myself into his arms and hugging Yu Longting's waist.
This was the best news I had heard all day.
In front of the Ye Family's house.
Rongling, driving the newly bought luxury van, stopped, "Brother, sister-in-law, are you sure you don't need me to come along?"
"No need, you can't keep your mouth shut." I gave Rongling a stern look.
Rongling looked aggrievedly at his brother, "Brother, your wife despises me."
"I despise you even more. Stay put and don't run around," Yu Longting said, haughtily and coldly, and led me out of the car.
The Ye family's door was open, and the pungent smell of realgar drifted out from inside.
It was so intense that it made me feel slightly nauseous.
Yu Longting's expression darkened a bit.
They knew we were coming and came out to meet us, their faces showing no signs of negligence.
All three of them wore a black Jade Pendant on their chests.
Mrs. Ye's body trembled nervously, leaning on her son Ye Jiqing for support.
"Snake Lord gracing our humble home is an... an immense honor." Mr. Ye, forcing himself, greeted us proactively. Read complete version only at Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Yu Longting glanced down at Mr. Ye with disdain, "Tsk, your Ye Family has been naughty. I need to teach you a lesson."
With a flick of his sleeve, several Blood Snakes flew out.
The Blood Snakes weren't even as big as a child's pinky finger but moved very quickly.
They all burrowed straight into Mr. Ye's nostrils, causing his pupils to dilate in shock as he stood frozen, "Snake... a snake has crawled into my nostril."
"Snake Lord, what have you done to my husband? Our family has no grievances with you, why would you do this??"
Mrs. Ye screamed out as she collapsed on the spot.
"To prove to you that your broken Jade Pendants are useless," Yu Longting ignored the Ye family, leading me straight into the Ye house.
Ye Jiqing seemed to suddenly realize something, "Dad, Mom! What are these Jade Pendants for? Why would Snake Lord punish you upon seeing them?"
"They are supposed to protect us, and I feared he would harm you," Mr. Ye's voice grew weaker, "It's all my fault for creating this situation, trying to guard against Snake Lord, only to provoke him."
