"Wanwan," Yu Longting finally broke his long silence, calling me solemnly.
My emotions, which had been uncontrollable a moment ago, now regained some calmness. "Mm."
Actually, my mom should be fine.
It's just that out of guilt, I couldn't help but imagine the worst.
"You don't treat me like one of your own."
Listening to Yu Longting as he moved closer to my ear, he nibbled on my sensitive earlobe and murmured in a magnetic voice.
I stiffened my back, and my heart was struck, but I pretended to be dumb, "How haven't I treated you as one of my own?"
"You would live and die with your mom, but you chose not to drag me down. I find it very unfair. Obviously... I'm less important than your mom," Yu Longting said, sounding dejected.
I said, "But we have no blood relation."
Some words I prefer not to keep repeating.
But the fact remains, I owe Yu Longting too much to have any right to let him die with me.
If I'd informed Yu Longting immediately last night, he would have surely come back. He might even have fallen into others' traps trying to save my mom and get hurt again.
"Having a blood relation would be a problem, Wanwan," Yu Longting joked, "Relatives can't marry. A life partner is supposed to be with you for life. My lady, give me a chance, let me qualify to die with you."
"What absurd things to say, are you hoping for me to die?"
I glanced at Yu Longting, but his words had touched my heart. I sighed softly, "Next time, if this happens again, I'll drag you into the worst with me. Happy now?"
"Very happy, Wanwan. I am a masochist; I want you to mistreat me, to share a quilt in life and a grave in death," Yu Longting chuckled lightly, mercilessly mocking himself.
I dropped my eyelids and nodded slightly.
Share a quilt in life and a grave in death.
Such words were unexpectedly spoken by Yu Longting.
He has a long life ahead of him, while I have to face the cycle of life and death.
Unless I had no feelings for him at all, I couldn't be so selfish.
Yu Longting squeezed my hand, checking on how I felt, "Since you're so worried, why didn't you urge me to take you back to the Lin Family to check things out?"
"It's been one night's delay, what's another? Better to analyze the situation and decide then. Rushing over there might very well be walking into a trap." My calm was based on a heartache like being slashed by a knife.
Yu Longting clearly knew the torture inside me, "With your husband here, your mom will be fine. Who was the intruder last night? She could be a breakthrough point."
"You didn't bring it up and I almost forgot!" I smacked my forehead, no wonder I felt like I was missing something, and had completely forgotten a real living person,
"Last night, Xiao Honghong suddenly woke up. I'd cast a Centipede Gu on her and managed to escape."
"So… where is she?" Yu Longting's phoenix eyes half-squinted, as if he saw right through me, his lips curving up maliciously.
I chuckled awkwardly, "Tied… in the bathroom." Check latest chapters at novel⚑fire.net
"Wanwan, you finally smiled," the focus of Yu Longting's attention wasn't that the person was tied in the bathroom, but that I had smiled.
Truthfully, this situation cast a large shadow over my heart, but having Yu Longting by my side, hearing him say he could protect both my mom and me, I felt very secure and trusted him completely.
Naturally, I didn't feel as oppressed as before.
Yu Longting followed me to the bathroom to look at the girl bound behind the door.
The girl was dressed in a pink sweatshirt, and her wavy hair was very cute.
Her skin was still covered in red marks, and she was lying unconscious, eyes closed.
However, since the floor was made of tiles, she must have been cold lying there all night, probably waking up feeling very chilly...
I explained, "I thought to conserve energy, to wait for you to come back and then have the energy to deal with the situation. After I subdued her, I just… left her aside."
