Free Web NovelChapter 65: Chapter 63: Family Meeting
Yue Ying was the first to ask, "What kind of game were you and our wife playing in the room?"
"How do you play?"
Cang Lan frowned in thought for a moment, then recounted everything that had happened in the room in great detail.
Then he scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Our wife even touched my abs. She also praised me..."
"Ah... You don’t need to say that part," Yue Ying cut in just in time.
He was already sour with jealousy. For Cang Lan to provoke him again was really a bit much.
The two of them turned around to see that Fei Yan had already drawn the thing Cang Lan had just described.
He held the drawing in front of Cang Lan. "Was it something like this?"
Cang Lan glanced at it, then nodded. "Mhm!"
Fei Yan asked again, "Do you remember what numbers were on them? And how to play?"
Although Cang Lan was simple-minded, his memory was excellent.
He managed to recall all the numbers purely from memory.
Before long, Mo Xiao and Fei Yan had replicated a full set and had Cang Lan demonstrate for them.
Under the moonlight, the four of them sat beneath a tree and began to draw and play cards.
"A pair!"
"A straight!"
"A bomb!"
"A rocket!" freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Fei Yan and Mo Xiao won again. Yue Ying glanced at the little leopard opposite him, gritting his teeth in frustration.
He angrily grabbed a potato chip and chewed it furiously.
’This single-minded killer really is all brawn and no brains!’
’No wonder our wife sent him packing so quickly!’
Cang Lan smiled sheepishly. "I’m not very good at this. Let’s go again!"
They played late into the night until Cang Lan mumbled that he was sleepy and headed back to his room.
Yue Ying, Fei Yan, and Mo Xiao looked at the thing on the table called "poker cards" and fell silent.
After a moment’s thought, Yue Ying looked up and asked, "Another round?"
Mo Xiao nodded.
Fei Yan began to shuffle the cards.
Of course they were going to play. If they didn’t master the tricks of this game, who knew if their wife would use it to get them out of her room again next time.
While drawing a card, Yue Ying asked, "What on earth is this ’System’ thing?"
"It’s probably something like our wife’s ’weapon’." This was the explanation Fei Yan had deduced based on the contents of the book, ’God’s Prophecy’.
Yue Ying laughed. "I’m so curious what other strange and wonderful things are in our wife’s System~ And who is she talking to every time? Why don’t they show themselves?"
Fei Yan explained again, "Perhaps the other party doesn’t wish to reveal themselves. Or maybe it’s because they have no physical body to reveal. As long as it poses no threat to our wife, it’s fine."
Yue Ying nodded in agreement.
In just one night, the three of them had familiarized themselves with the strategies and rules of the game.
Then, satisfied, they each returned to their rooms to sleep.
Su Mo slept all the way until noon. When she got up, Fei Yan and Yue Ying were in the courtyard hanging clothes out to dry.
Cang Lan enthusiastically handed her toiletries.
After Su Mo washed her face, Mo Xiao brought over a warm breakfast and a cup of warm water.
He looked at her and said softly, "You’re awake. Drink some water first and have a little something to eat. We’ll have a proper lunch later."
"Thanks."
Su Mo squinted, smiled at him, then took the food, sat down, and began to chew on a wild vegetable flatbread.
Yue Ying fanned himself as he sat down across from her, resting his chin on his hand and watching her with a smiling, squinted gaze.
The sight of his smile made Su Mo frown subconsciously. ’This damned fox... what’s with that sappy, love-struck look so early in the morning? What is he plotting?’
Yue Ying blinked his charming, fox-like eyes and said in a deliberately affected tone, "Watching the one you love eat is also a very enjoyable experience~"
"COUGH!"
Su Mo nearly choked. ’This damned fox has really lost his mind...’
She casually stuffed the piece of vegetable flatbread into his mouth. "Less talk, more eating!"
Yue Ying’s eyes crinkled as he bit into the flatbread. "Anything fed to me by my wife is delicious. I have to reward you!"
With that, he leaned over and gave Su Mo’s cheek a loud SMOOCH.
Then, looking utterly satisfied, he walked away with the half-eaten flatbread. Watching his ridiculously flamboyant retreating figure, Su Mo secretly gritted her teeth.
’I can’t even eat a meal in peace. How am I supposed to live like this...?’
"Get back here!"
Su Mo yelled at his back.
Yue Ying’s steps faltered, and he immediately came back, his heart blooming with joy.
He asked enthusiastically, "Any other commands, Wife?"
Su Mo glanced at the other three and motioned for them all to sit down.
Fei Yan and Mo Xiao exchanged a look, then walked over and sat down.
Su Mo raised her eyebrows slightly. "Time for a little meeting. From now on, you need to remember every word I say."
Cang Lan nodded with a serious expression. "Okay!"
Yue Ying raised his eyebrows slightly. His intuition told him that what their wife was about to say was not going to be good news.
Mo Xiao watched her with a calm expression, noncommittal.
Only Fei Yan spoke, his voice gentle. "What is it you wish to say, Wife?"
Su Mo’s cool gaze swept over them. "A nation has its laws, a family has its rules. Here, with me, there are naturally rules as well."
"..."
Silence from across the table.
’What the hell? What does it mean that not a single one of them is responding? I should just kick them all out!’ ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Hearing this, the men across from her instantly sat up straight.
Fei Yan looked at Su Mo, his eyes smiling. "Go on."
Mo Xiao: "I’m all ears."
Su Mo frowned. "First, you must learn to respect my choices and decisions. Second, everything can be discussed. Third, and most importantly, from now on, without my permission, you are not allowed to... freely enter my room at night."
Yue Ying’s eyes narrowed. "I have no problem with one and two. But the third... I don’t quite understand. Could I trouble my wife to explain?"
Su Mo’s brow furrowed.
’This damned fox loves to feign ignorance.’
"You don’t need to take care of me at night. I can take care of myself!"
Yue Ying beamed, his eyes crinkling with laughter. "But I enjoy it~"
"I enjoy it too!"
Cang Lan chimed in thoughtlessly, his bright eyes blinking.
Su Mo narrowed her eyes and looked at the fox.
Yue Ying blinked and looked away.
Fei Yan chuckled and hummed in agreement.
Mo Xiao said calmly, "As long as our wife is happy."
Su Mo smiled, satisfied. "The minority yields to the majority. That settles it! Meeting adjourned."
"Fine. But, Wife, shouldn’t we be heading back to the North Wing? The house is a total mess. We need to go back and clean up."
His reminder finally made Su Mo remember the house that Long Yan had burned to the ground.
However, with the charge of Mo Xiao poisoning the Dragon Clan’s water supply not yet cleared, leaving wouldn’t be easy.
"I’ll find Long Yan later and discuss it with him."
Just as Su Mo finished speaking, a clamor of voices came from outside.
They turned their heads and saw several people surging in.
Yue Ying recognized them. The ones in the lead were the two Dragon Clan Beastmen from last night whose eyes had lit up while staring at their wife.
His gaze unintentionally met Mo Xiao’s and Fei Yan’s.
’They wouldn’t come here for no reason. Are these bastards looking to start something?!’
The lead Dragon Clan Beastman walked toward Su Mo with a broad grin. "Miss Su, I did what you said last night, and I really slept well for the whole night! Your method is amazing!"
A Beastman walking behind him followed up, "The medicine you prescribed really works! My mother’s cough is much better! I brought her over today for Miss Su to have another look."
As they were speaking, the Think Tank, Lan Ling, Long Yan, and the Little Dragons arrived as well.
Lan Ling came today to adjust a prescription.
He had originally said he could come alone, but the Think Tank and Lord Major General Long Yan were extremely enthusiastic and insisted on accompanying him.
Looking at the crowd gathered in the room, not only was Lan Ling a bit baffled, but the Think Tank was also a little confused.
He stroked his graying beard and sighed inwardly, ’These young people are ultimately too impetuous. They should at least consider the dignity of our Dragon Clan...’
