My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"Yes, just two months old, still a boy, abandoned by his heartless parents," Yu Longting hugged my waist tightly, his smile glistening.

I looked up at Yu Longting, feeling a bit lost yet somewhat resolute.

His nature didn't seem like one that could adopt a child, but his tenderness towards me showed that he had a soft side deep down, which I could understand.

I thought for a long time before I realized something was off, "You've stayed in the cheongsam for so many years, how could you raise Beichen?"

"Do you think Beichen appears as young as he looks? It's not just about looks, it's about who raised him, Wanwan, don't easily trust everything your eyes see, think more."

Yu Longting and I returned to the room together, and yellow paper flew out of his sleeve.

The curtains and the door closed at the same time, sealed off by the yellow paper.

"Oh..."

I didn't think much of the door closing until his fingertip landed on the button of my cheongsam, then I realized something bad was happening and hurried to open the door, "I... haven't taken a shower yet, Yu Longting, we've just eaten."

"What's that old saying? Well-fed and thinking of what..." His cool body pressed against my back, winding around me, and without much force, he left me unable to gather any strength.

"Jerk, I still have to go downstairs to work later."

"I won't tire you out much, and will leave you feeling energetic, trust me."

"I trust you for nothing, you're such a bad guy."

...

Another fierce goblin fight ensued.

It turned out that a man's mouth could indeed deceive like a ghost.

I was really about to cry from exhaustion, dizzy and barely able to get up.

It was only after drinking the red date tea brewed by Yu Longting that I regained some vital energy.

I lay in bed, not wanting to move at all, "Yu Longting, you big liar."

"If you're too tired, take a little break, I have something to attend to and need to leave for a while." Yu Longting hugged me tightly.

My pupils dilated slightly, "Are you going to deal with the Ancestral Fox Remnant Soul again?"

"Yes, sort of," Yu Longting's voice was still there, but his presence had already disappeared.

My arms suddenly embraced thin air as the warmth around me vanished.

For the first time, I felt a sense of loss.

I used to wish Yu Longting would go far away, but now that he had suddenly left, I actually felt a bit wronged.

I got out of bed wanting to change clothes, only to feel a substantial bulge in my abdomen, as though weighed down.

It felt like I was carrying lead weights, and a slight panic rose within me.

Something felt off, and I took a few steps to get my clothes.

A sudden, inexplicable pain struck me.

But that pain was fleeting and vanished in the blink of an eye.

I touched my belly, uncertainly calling out to Dumpling, "Dumpling?"

There was no response from Dumpling.

Actually, this situation often happened and wasn't unusual.

Infants mostly remain dormant in the womb to better develop and grow.

However, with the worry in my heart, I became a bit obsessive, "Dumpling, are you okay? If you are, respond to mom."

Like this, I repeatedly called out to Dumpling many times.

But there was no response.

That couldn't be sleep, it was more like...

Dormancy?

Comatose!

"Could it be that Yu Longting always goes too far, and it harmed Dumpling?" I muttered to myself, thinking that this matter couldn't be clearly explained through WeChat.

As soon as Yu Longting comes back, I'll have to ask him.

If anything truly was wrong with Dumpling, I'd have to find a way to heal him.

I rubbed my somewhat uncomfortable belly, changed into clothes, and put on light sneakers.

Despite feeling a bit weak, I still went downstairs on time to start work.

If Beichen or Yu Rongling were here, it would have been better, with one more person to help Xiao Li.

Now that neither of them were around, if I slacked off, Xiao Li would suffer a lot.

I was busy until around four or five in the afternoon when a middle-aged woman arrived. She didn't enter the restaurant but seemed anxious, pacing in front of the door.

People like her generally don't come to the restaurant to eat.

Xiao Li asked her if she was looking for someone.

The woman said yes, she had come specifically for my mother.
