Chapter 85 - Let's go old fart

"Un… don't cry mother, after all I had just thought that it was normal for men to have more than one wife, in fact Qingyue told me she didn't expect to keep me for herself, so I was just wondering from a woman's perspective how they felt…"

Hua Mei who took a few minutes to regain herself then played his words back once more, after all he was still a child, no matter how much a genius he was, experience was the best teacher after all.

She was actually more surprised that her Daughter-in-Law Qingyue was mȧturė enough to understand that even with her heavenly beauty, she still wouldn't be able to have her Long'er for herself.

"Mn… Long'er, it will always hurt to see your loved one with another, which is why it is better if such a situation were to happen to cultivate a harmonious relationship between your future women, preferably to the point where they could consider each other as true sisters, otherwise all the relationships will be fractured…"

Hua Mei thought a little before adding "It is as little Qingyue says, I myself have no doubts that in the future many women will be coming for you, however the reason why I always advised you to stay within the Xiao Clan compound was because 99% of these women will come to you not out of true love, or a pure relationship, they will be interested in you for your looks, your power, your treasures, to subdue you and so on. However, with how you go outside with that stupid looking mask I can already tell you are aware of this so you do not require me to tell you this for you to understand" Hua Mei explained.

Yun Long just remembered that Xiao Lie was here, but his opinion of him changed a little subconsciously, as he looked at his body with faint anger, which was notified by Hua Mei who just smiled.

"Long'er, you need not pay any more attention to the story you heard today, after all whilst our relationship is not perfect, I will always remain the wife of Xiao Lie, and he be my husband, since that is what I promised."

She stroked his head and continued "Just make sure to look at our story and make sure that you must always be honest towards your wife, and if you do make a mistake then the least you can do is admit to your wife your mistakes and take responsibility of the actions with however your wife proceeds to punish you for your mistakes, you are a bright child Long'er, I have no doubt that you will be a great man, husband and father in the future, for now just focus on growing up into a man that mommy can be proud of okay?"

"Mn… Father how long you plan to listen"

Yun Long decided to let his father stop fake sleeping, after all one who was at Hua Mei's level could not be fooled by such poor acting…

Xiao Lie who had been listening that whole time had been silently crying, after all his greatest regret in this life was that he had cheated on his wife on emotions that had clouded his proper judgement, and the other was that he could not even protect his son from the hands of death.

Then when he heard the full truth from Hua Mei, who had opened her heart for the first time since the incident, his heart tightened, after all he truly understood from her words how much pain she truly did bottle up, and he now realised all the moments where she was teasing Xi'er, Qingyue and Long'er was one of the ways she comforted her broken heart, especially Long'er.

'Ying'er, seems like the child you brought to us was indeed a gift that the heavens bestowed upon our family…' thought Xiao Lie.

The conversation then changed towards Long'er wanting to know more about the situation since he didn't understand it properly, until he called him out, he then realised that both of them likely knew he was awake all this time.

However, one thing hit him, Long'er still called him Father so he asked "Son, you are still willing to call me father after what you heard from your mother!" his voice shaking as he questioned.

"Hehe, honestly I am no position to criticise, since you have been listening you should know that I will likely have more than one wife in the future… no actually I should say that my master already has engaged me to his daughter… although I don't know when I will meet her, also I am engaged with Yue'er, so I cannot be hypocritical and try to criticise your circumstances…" Yun Long explained.

Yun Long then looked towards the moon as he continued "To continue what I was saying, if after the heartache you caused mother she is willing to keep a harmonious relationship, even if it is slightly broken, but to the point where the love has not dissipated and where you can coexist peacefully, where can I find it in myself to start getting angry at you?"

He smiled a little "Even if in my heart I feel a little different, you can just chalk it up to expectations versus reality, after all when I looked at you I truly thought you were an ideal man… even more so than the future me since my heart wouldn't belong to one unlike the true love you hold for mother… anyway enough of this love talk…" he sighed

'And even more than that old fart... but I guess that everyone has their flaws...' Yun Long thought whilst reminiscing about a certain Mr. Ling.

Xiao Lie who heard his soul talk was regretful since he heard from his own child's mouth how highly he thought of him, and yet he was mȧturė enough to forget his feelings of being let down all so that their relationship wouldn't be affected, after all everyone wants to protect their love.

He then picked up his mothers' hand and prepared to go towards the dinner the Xia family had set up

"We have a dinner to go to… Let's go old fart"
