"Actually, Xiaobai isn’t entirely a tiger," Yang Ruxin touched her nose.
Gu Qingheng frowned, "Not entirely? Then..."
"Because Xiaobai’s mother is a tiger, but his father is a wolf..." Yang Ruxin chuckled, "So, calling him a tiger isn’t quite accurate..."
"Cough cough..." Gu Qingheng finally choked on his own spit, "This...this" is too unbelievable.
Heihei. Yang Ruxin laughed unkindly, "Actually, it’s quite normal. If humans and ghosts can fall in love, why not animals? Don’t you think that this kind of love that transcends species is very touching?" She had sent Xiaobai into the space as soon as she had returned to allow the mother and child to reunite for a while. Just now she went inside to check on the mother and child, and they were both doing fine.
Gu Qingheng’s mouth twitched.
"Are you scared?" Yang Ruxin leaned in closer to Gu Qingheng, her brows furrowing as she looked at him.
"Why would I be afraid?" Gu Qingheng laughed, "So, that means the Black Bear was probably killed by Xiaobai’s mother, right?" Although it was a question, his tone was very certain.
"Ah, you’re really no fun." Yang Ruxin pouted, "Understanding without spelling everything out, that’s the highest realm of life. Speak too clearly, and you really can end up with no friends..."
Gu Qingheng smiled: "I don’t need friends, just having you is enough."
Yang Ruxin’s heart started pounding again. This guy, always so quick to flirt, she found herself almost outdone, and couldn’t help but chuckle twice more, "You’d better go back and rest. Right now, what you need is to sleep more to recover your strength. Tomorrow I’ll make you something delicious to help you replenish."
Gu Qingheng also knew he’d be lacking in energy for a few days so he didn’t persist any further, nodded, and let her leave.
But after leaving the Gu Family home, Yang Ruxin didn’t go straight back; instead, she went to the dilapidated house she’d visited before.
"They say the most dangerous place is often the safest." Yang Ruxin let Dabai out, "So, you’d better continue to recuperate here for a few more days."
Dabai, aware of his current condition, didn’t fuss. Actually, he felt quite innocent. He was just nursing an injury, sleeping soundly when two people came along chuckling. I mean, chuckling is fine, but why make all that racket? They woke him up, and then... hey, they’re picking on him just because he’s a widowed tiger.
Yang Family old residence.
After the ruckus, everyone had come back. Yang Baifu knelt in the middle of the hall, but nobody spoke. The entire courtyard fell into a strange silence.
Yang Peili felt suddenly old. After a lengthy silence, he looked at his family and finally sighed, "Fourth son, you tell us, what do you want to do? With your outburst, you’ve disgraced the Yang Family..."
"Dad, our family’s face was gone long ago." Yang Baifu, having cleared his head after a beating, even felt a measure of bold recklessness, like a pig that doesn’t fear boiling water, "That woman from the Dong Family is a chicken that doesn’t lay eggs, only giving birth to two girls. I can��t be without a son. It’s only natural for a man to have multiple wives and concubines, I’ve done nothing wrong, and yet she makes endless noise and even jumps into a river. She’s committed one of the Seven Outs, I could divorce her..."
The woman from the Dong Family next door immediately burst into tears, overwhelmed by confusion, not knowing what to do.
"Nonsense," Yang Peili’s face darkened, "Our Yang Family does not practice divorce. And what’s more, what are you going to do about Daya and Erya?"
