Chapter 838: Chapter 838: Mutual Understanding Chapter 838: Chapter 838: Mutual Understanding “Ah, this, I don’t even know what to do? Perhaps Brother Qing has been under too much work pressure lately, so he likes to overthink things. Xingguang, just don’t panic for now, Brother Qing definitely cares about you…” Tang Zhou didn’t know how to comfort her further: “Hotpot, hotpot, hotpot.”
Ye Xingguang stirred vigorously with her chopsticks in the hotpot: “Of course I know he cares about me, otherwise, I wouldn’t have come back to take his nonsense. I am just angry, why can’t he trust me more, why can’t he have more faith in our relationship?”
At this, Tang Zhou realized that he might not be suited for heart-to-heart talks to relieve others’ distress. How could he help Xingguang?
Just as he was unsure of what to do, he looked up and saw his long-unseen follower had already changed into slippers and was walking towards them.
Tang Zhou seemed to see a savior: “Ow ow ow, my Crown Prince, your long-lost brother has returned. Let him help you sort this out! Big boss Leng, come quickly, comfort your sister; she and Brother Qing are having a tiff, and your sister is totally wronged!”
Leng Chenmo had heard their voices while changing shoes at the door. After hanging up his coat on the rack and washing his hands, he dried them and walked into the dining hall. Seeing the two eating hotpot, he grabbed a small plate, prepared some seasonings, and sat down to join them.
Having not seen Tang Zhou for a month, Leng Chenmo was relieved to find that Tang hadn’t lost weight, and seemed to have gained a bit. It seemed he wasn’t doing too badly this past month.
Ye Xingguang, blowing her nose harshly with a tissue and wiping her nose, called out: “Brother.”
“Uh-huh,” Leng Chenmo responded.
He had already inquired about the incident from those who were present. Indeed, Ye Junqing had lost control in a jealous rage and even hit someone, voluntarily proposing a breakup, which was simply mindless and exasperating.
However, Leng Chenmo pondered: “What did you just mention about reincarnation?”
Tang Zhou, with a face full of gossipy excitement: “Ow ow ow, little follower, you have no idea, Brother Qing, I don’t know if he’s been reading too many reincarnation novels, but he imagines himself as a reborn big shot, saying Xingguang used to be a scumbag who mistreated him, and after that ran off with Li Yu. It’s just like the reincarnation novels and comics I usually read, haha, who’d have thought Brother Qing would be such a fantasist.”
“Hehe,” Chenmo watched as Tang Zhou laughed joyfully, and merely joined in with a cryptic chuckle twice.
Then, Leng reached into the pot, scooped up a boneless chicken foot, and placed it on a small plate in front of Tang Zhou before saying to Ye Xingguang: “Eat some hotpot, then go back to sleep. Tomorrow, I’ll help you deal with Ye Junqing.”
“Yeah,” facing the taciturn and serious brother like Leng Chenmo, she couldn’t be as carefree as she was with Tang Zhou, and forced herself to calm down.
Chen Mo continued: “However, Ye Junqing spent a lot of effort this past month trying to become the heir to the vampire clan. He was afraid of losing you, became overly sensitive and acted out. You should be more understanding. Some things, just listen and let them go, don’t take them seriously. It’s just spur-of-the-moment temper, nothing but desperately maintaining some pitiful pride and self-esteem. Maybe when he calms down and thinks back on his foolish words, he’ll regret it so much he’d want to slap himself quietly, but you wouldn’t know that. Just try to understand each other a bit more.”
Ye Xingguang nodded: “I understand all that. I came back tonight wanting to give both him and myself an out, but then he had to wear a grim face and speak cold words, and I couldn’t control my temper.”
