My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"Did my mom really say that?"

I had to look at my mom in a new light, as she had once had little understanding of Mysterious Art.

The earlier incident of the Taoist nun helping me with the abortion was actually due to my uncle Su Chongshun's connections.

As I was puzzled, Xiao Li said, "You can't trust my words? Although I also don't know why your aunt would say that and even go back and stay overnight at that woman's place. By the way, where's my Brother Beichen? Has he come back?"

"Hmm, I don't know about that either. Maybe I'll ask when Yu Longting arrives?" I cleared my throat, barely hiding a snicker.

It had only been four days in City B, and Xiao Li was already missing her sweetheart.

Bending over, Xiao Li wiped the table and said, "That's not necessary, I have his WeChat, I can ask him myself. Strawberries and sushi, did he... eat them?"

He had, indeed, Beichen really enjoyed the lunch Xiao Li made. I recalled the restrained yet uncontrollable smile on his face as he ate.

Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good to hear. Hey, what if I buy him some cherries this time?"

"That should be fine. I think Beichen isn't picky about food." Suddenly, I felt a bit envious of Xiao Li's loving gestures.

Giving food and drinks to a loved one must be very, very blissful.

My heart felt a stir of emotion.

Just then, Chen Decheng yelped, "Chen Yuanyuan! What are you messing around for? I invited you for a meal, why are you working? You just caught a demon and didn't rest at all, just working away! Do I really lack people in my restaurant?"

"We are short of people, okay? Chen Decheng, easy for you to talk without back pain!!" Xiao Li glared fiercely at Chen Decheng, "What's wrong with Yuanyuan helping me a bit?"

"Go hang this sign outside, 'business temporarily suspended.'" Chen Decheng glanced at the remaining customers in the store, motioned for me and Xiao Li, "Come on, let's all go eat in the private room. Yuanyuan's boyfriend, you come too."

The few customers actually didn't require much staff at that point; they could just scan the code and pay by themselves when they were done.

If there were customers uncomfortable with using QR codes, they could call on me or Xiao Li to help them check out.

"Right." Yu Longting had just parked his car and came in as Chen Decheng called him to join us in the private room for a meal.

In the private room, there were the boss lady Chen Shufen and Wei Yao as well.

Chen Decheng cheerfully announced that the boss lady was pregnant with twins, excitedly toasted everyone, and even gave a toast,

"I hope everyone has days filled with harmony, safety, and joy!"

Xiao Li kept offering me food, pushing me to eat more so that the little Dumpling in my stomach wouldn't be malnourished.

I was, of course, very concerned about Little Dumpling growing up well, so I accepted all the dishes Xiao Li offered.

After the meal, Wei Yao left.

He probably came just to congratulate Chen Decheng and also because he felt guilty for bringing Ye Jiqing.

Xiao Li glanced at her WeChat and sneakily asked Yu Longting, "Hey, when are you going to give Brother Beichen a holiday?"

"He's busy, has to be busy for a while." Yu Longting, with one hand in his pocket, had a bit of defiance, but he was very handsome, and his arrogance felt like a natural part of him.

Very free-spirited and captivating.

Yu Longting looked at Xiao Li and suddenly seemed interested, asked me for a pen and paper, and wrote down an address, "If you really want to see him, you can find him here."

"I won't go find him and disturb his work," Xiao Li said, though she took the piece of paper with both hands and pressed it against her chest.

Then she dashed off, disappearing to who knows where.

Yu Longting raised an eyebrow, his expression half mocking, half amused, "When I picked him up at Mass Burial Mound, I knew this silly boy was very fortunate."

"Yes, being liked by Xiao Li and picked up by you to stay by your side, he is indeed very fortunate. Wait, you picked up Beichen at Mass Burial Mound?!" I gasped in surprise, picturing Beichen being picked up in a graveyard.
