My Demon Husband Is a Snake

As soon as she heard my voice, Xiao Li's sense of grievance surged up.

She had lost her phone and tears were falling down as she shouted, "Wanwan."

"I'm here, I'm right here," I hurried over to her quickly.

Xiao Li buried her face in my stomach, crying her heart out, "I've lost my baby."

"I'm sorry..." my eyes became sore, "It's all because..."

"What are you apologizing for? The one at fault is the person who placed the gu," Xiao Li rebuked me.

I immediately shut up and rubbed Xiao Li's recently dry hair, promising, "I will definitely catch the one who cast the gu, you won't suffer for nothing."

"Maybe Heaven thinks I'm not qualified enough to be a good mom, so it took the baby back," Xiao Li lamented with regret, her trembling fingers touching my belly.

Dumpling had already woken up, but it seemed to sense the subtly sad atmosphere in the room.

He held his breath, not daring to let out a sigh.

Fearing he would disturb his Auntie Xiao Li.

I certainly knew that these words were purely self-comforting and utterly nonsensical, yet I went along with her, "That... that might be possible... After all, you're a year younger than me."

"Xiao Li, the preserved fruit... I bought it back." Beichen came in with a bag wrapped in oil paper, pausing briefly in surprise.

He was about to salute when he was stopped by a look from Yu Longting.

When Xiao Li saw Beichen, she pouted and complained, "Wanwan, Beichen is bullying me."

"What? How could that be?" I didn't believe it at all, "He would give you his life without even frowning if you asked."

"You don't believe me?" Xiao Li huffed.

I was afraid that she would get too emotional and hurt herself, so I had to play along, "Believe... So, how did he bully you?"

"He won't let me go home, Wanwan, I want to go home," Xiao Li mumbled.

At first, I thought she wanted to go back to Spring Wind Town?

With her body so weak, yet wanting to run around.

It would be strange if Beichen agreed.

Then, I thought about it and realized, "Oh, you want to take Brother Chenn back home to meet the family."

"You really understand me; you are truly a good sister," Xiao Li said, her face lighting up with joy. She glanced at Beichen again, reverting to her sulky demeanor, her petulant look was quite adorable.

I burst out laughing and signaled Beichen with my eyes, "You better agree quickly."

"But her health..." Beichen's face was gloomily terrible.

See? Such a good man, worried sick about his wife's health.

I inwardly praised Beichen but still had to help press him, "After all she's done, if you don't agree, are you trying to kill Xiao Li?"

"Exactly, if you don't step down, are you trying to kill me?" Xiao Li stood with her hands on her hips, a defiant look on her face.

Beichen's icy expression softened momentarily, and he dropped the preserved fruit and hugged Xiao Li, "You're really silly."

"Oh, the pig you raised by hand is finally rooting up the cabbage?" Yu Longting exclaimed.

Although his sentiment as an old father was not wrong.

But staying here, wasn't I just being a third wheel?

And a particularly glaring one at that!

Being a die-hard fan of the Li-Chen CP, I pushed Yu Longting out and closed the big door, "Let's go outside and enjoy some sunshine."

The sunlight outside was really nice, it felt great on your skin.

The well had been completely filled in and was now just a useless dead well.

Several snakes sent out as sentries lay lazily by the well.

In the southwest, many flowers had bloomed even before the start of spring.

A few rape flowers were sparsely blooming in the yard. Standing there, I admired the flowers with Yu Longting while we casually discussed the investigation into the person who used Corpse Gu.

Yu Longting directly dispatched people from the sect to investigate, all of them top-level experts from the Snake Tribe.

Results would surely come quickly, and once there were results,

According to Yu Longting's own words, we'd just level the place.

"Wanwan, may I have a private word with you?" Bai Zanhe, who had brought Xiao Li some herbal soup, came over to ask.

She then looked tremulously towards Yu Longting, fearing the tyrant might refuse.
