"Flower Wipe, bro, did you knock your sister-in-law out and bring her back?"
In Yu Longting's arms, I was sleeping comfortably when Yu Rongling's noisy voice woke me up.
Rubbing my eyes, I reluctantly opened them, "Yu Longting, I'm so hungry."
This sleep was too sound.
I slept until my whole body was soft, and when I woke up, we were already back at Chen's Restaurant.
"What would you like to eat?" Yu Longting rubbed the top of my head as if afraid to disturb me, his tone exceptionally magnetic and gentle.
I was soothed by his voice, moved my numb arm, and shifted to a more comfortable position, "Would it be too much if I... wanted to eat an Immortal Peach?"
"Heh, not at all." Yu Longting was utterly indulgent, a look of pampering on his face.
With a wave of his hand, a little black snake brought the Begonia Hairpin over to him.
He took it and placed it in my hands.
Seeing my lost hairpin returned, I happily kissed Yu Longting on the cheek, "Did you get the snake to fetch it from the water for me? Thank you!"
Yu Rongling's jaw almost hit the floor; his face was full of 'I've never seen anything before,' "You guys didn't fall out?"
"Xiao Yuer, you're hoping we had a falling out?"
At that, I immediately did a fish-flop to get off of Yu Longting.
Yu Longting's arms were wrapped tightly around me, with no intention of letting go; he hadn't had enough of hugging me even after so long.
Yu Rongling's eyes reddened, not sure if he was playing the pity card, "How could that be, my brother personally... severed the flesh and blood between you two, I thought... you'd be at odds with him..."
Yun Hao, next to Yu Rongling, had a similarly complex look on his face.
They both had witnessed how I frantically chased after the Demon spawn.
When Yu Longting arrived later, the methods he used to dismember it were utterly cruel.
Before we returned, these two must have been imagining all sorts of things.
"You thought I'd be sworn enemies with your brother?" I raised an eyebrow, asking in return.
Yu Rongling's face turned pale with fright, "I... didn't say that... sister-in-law, this must be a misunderstanding, right?"
"Yes, it's a misunderstanding, it was Qingyang who used a special Forbidden Technique that misled us." I replied without changing my expression, not telling Yu Rongling the complicated truth.
Don't be fooled by how calm I appear...
In reality, every time this matter is mentioned, my heart clenches in pain.
Fortunately, I am about to give birth soon, and knowing the truth is just a matter of time. Once I know the truth, I won't always imagine the worst scenarios.
In Yu Rongling's watery eyes, big tears fell like pearls, he burst into tears, "Wuu, I'm so glad there's no grudge between you two, it worried me to death!! If a perfectly good family were to fall apart, wouldn't my Dumpling end up a poor orphan without parents..."
An orphan... Do you have to... imagine so much...
"It's good that you two resolved the misunderstanding in time. Yu Rongling was always imagining the picture of him raising the child alone after you two split up," Yun Hao said in a rare bout of talkativeness, his gaze deep and distant.
Obviously, they were both annoyed by Yu Rongling while we were away.
Yu Longting wasn't angry; instead, he patted Yu Rongling's head with his broad palm, "After your sister-in-law gives birth, I'll take you to the Lin Family to see Qing Li."
"Really?" Yu Rongling's voice tightened, looking eagerly at his brother.
Yu Longting nodded, "Yes, really."
"Wuuu... I can finally see mom..." Yu Rongling cried like a water snake, his eyes like faucets gushing water, "Wuuu... something got in my eye... what do I do..."
"Wanwan, I've picked the Immortal Peaches already, they're at the sect. If you want to eat them, we'll have to go back to my sect," Yu Longting said, looking at his brother who had turned into a tearful mess, pressing his brow, and then lowering his head to speak to me.
I blinked, "You mean go back to the sect? Should we visit Beichen before we leave? I wonder if the Cultivation Spiritual Garment has healed his wounds."
