Chapter 336 - Bihan is Happy

Upon hearing Wu Zhong's name, Liu Li paused sipping on his tea. He took a look at the face of his wife and saw a rather melancholic smile. Wu Qianqian really did fear her father, but like any daughter who didn't have the chance to grow up with their fathers, the mother still looked like she was wishing for a what-if.

"He's still one of those brown-nosers—how different would it be?" Liu Li only huffed as if finally joining their conversation. It was also because they were now talking about something that he knew something about. "He used to have businesses with the Li Enterprise that was handled by Heilong's father, right? That was Heilong kept on coming to his house, right? I remember you saying that."

As if remembering the same thing, Wu Qianqian pounded on her open palm gently. "Ah, yes, yes, do you know, Xiaodan? Bingbing and Heilong met each other first here… in this exact room in the Wu Family Estate." She then turned to see the glass doors that overlooked the meadow outside. "I came home with Bingbing that day, and I saw him standing there. Outside, with a cigarette in his mouth.

"He then looked so intently in my direction, and I was a little scared that he was looking at me. It turns out…"—the mother giggled—"Bingbing was standing right behind me, and they were staring at each other. I didn't know that he'd later be a big part of my life when he decided to help me and Mama get away from the Mian and Wu families. I still felt bad that Xiao Li and Bingbing had to make big sacrifices for me as well."

"Big sacrifices? That's normal." Liu Li only hummed as he made his way to sit next to Wu Qianqian as if appeasing her by rubbing her shoulder. "She and I decided to take big steps to assure our own futures and happiness. I will be happy to be with you, and she will be happy to see you free. There was no regret in us."

"Oh… Xiao Li..." Wu Qianqian gushed as she was so touched by him. They began to murmur reassurances to each other, and that was the time when Liu Xiaodan had left the room. Better let his parents enjoy each other now that they thought about it.

When he walked the hallway, he then spoke as if he knew that the person he directed those words to was listening as well. "You reacted when you saw his face. Was he the one who sealed you?"

The woman demon only nodded—Liu Xiaodan felt like she was nodding. Then again, when he entered his huge room, the friends spilled out as if they had been all pushed out with force. The lounge was quickly occupied by Tang Mingming and Yi Junhai while Old Doctor sat on the rug and loved the texture. Guangru was holding onto Heima as he ran to the bed and jump on it.

Actually, no one was spared when Liu Xiaodan decided to push them all out. He then walked to the ensuite bathroom to be on his own, do things without anyone else watching him. The woman demon was left standing by the door, eyes cast on the guardian sitting on the head of the bed.

"Ah, another one. She looked docile. Have you extracted her memories?" Old Xiong spoke as if asking all the other friends. However, only Guangru answered him as the child started to remove his shoes as if he forgot and was scared to get scolded. "Old Xiong, I haven't done anything to her yet. Since she wanted to come with us, Baba just expected her to behave."

"Hm. She's a despairing soul. I can see it very clearly." Old Xiong's bear eyes glistened a little as if he was staring down at the weakened demon. Even if his strength only reached the rank of a greater ghost like Heima, he wasn't scared of standing in a place with a demon that was not Guangru. "Do you remember your name?"

The woman then whispered, "Name?"

She then took a look at Guangru and at the rest as if remembering the names of each of them. Right, she was the only one who had no name. However, she didn't really remember much anymore. She only knew that she was hungry now and wanted to retrieve her peak power again.

"Is it needed?" The woman didn't really have much care for a name. She had forgotten her individuality that she didn't want one anymore. Moreover, she wouldn't probably have anyone to call her that; neither would she be staying long enough to make them remember a name that meant nothing to her.

"Bihan… how about Bihan?" Liu Xiaodan finished taking a quick shower and was drying his hair. With Guangru stopping time for him, there were a lot of things that he could do with its practical use. 

"If you don't have a name, I'll give that one to you. I don't want to keep referring to you as 'you' after all. Besides, you'd be working with me. I need to be able to call you with something."

The woman blinked and began testing it with her voice. The name seemed to be… very nice. She liked it. Not only was she offered a chance to regain her power, partial freedom, and blood seeds; but she was also given a name. The woman smiled as if she was a sweet maiden. "Thank you, Bihan is happy."

Liu Xiaodan only smiled back a little before taking clothes from the cabinet. It felt weird that a grown-up woman would refer to herself in third person. Then again, she's a demon; the rationality of a demon was different from a living human.

He then turned to Guangru. "Do you know where your mom is? I'll go see her today."

"She's at Li Enterprise. She said she would be passing her proposals for Mr. Li, and she was hoping that they could replace that building that… broke." Guangru slowed down. Wasn't it his fault that the building was destroyed?

Liu Xiaodan lifted his brows and nodded. He then went back inside the ensuite to change. After putting his clothes on, he stared at the mirror and realized that his hair had grown long. He should start cutting it again. Then again, he realized that the sink actually had a lot of things that he didn't use—well, he wouldn't use.

He picked up the texturizing gel before calling out as if having a strange idea. "Ming! Can you come here for a moment? I have something to ask you."

…

Matron Yuye just got someone to dispose of the old things in the bas.e.m.e.nt when she heard someone coming down the stairs. When she turned, she was shocked to see a rather dapper-looking Liu Xiaodan. For a moment, she didn't really recognize him at all.

"Young Master?" Matron Yuye took a look at him from head to toe thrice. "Are you going on a date?"

"No, I'm picking up your Young Madam from Li Enterprise." Liu Xiaodan smiled. "Can't keep on losing, can I?"
