383 Aren'st You Going?

While Wu Chengyue was still staring at his belly, the door of his office opened suddenly and Xiao Yunlong broke in, speaking angrily, "What did you say to Yue?"

Wu Chengyue came back to himself. He raised his head to look at Xiao Yunlong and ignored the latter's attitude as he asked blandly, "What happened to her?"

Xiao Yunlong glared at him with anger while saying, "Tell me what you said to her first. She's so haggard now as if she has lost her soul. She didn't get any sleep last night. And her eyes are puffy, because she has been crying the whole time. She doesn't even dare to come out today."

Wu Chengyue stood up and walked out from behind the desk while saying to Xiao Yunlong, "Calm down first."

After that, he walked to the couch that Wu Yueling was sitting on, then pointed at it.

Xiao Yunlong walked over grumpily and sat down as he asked, "Tell me what has happened. Did you say something to her yesterday when you got back? If you didn't, how would someone as calm as her become like this?"

Wu Chengyue responded, "I made it clear with her. I knew that she wouldn't be able to accept it, but it was about time for me. If I didn't tell her, it would be too late."

Xiao Yunlong was puzzled for a second, and the angry look on his face faded a little. "What happened to you? Why did you suddenly tell her about your real feelings?"

"Because I'm going to find Ling Ling a mother. I need to make her give up on what she has toward me. Otherwise, she might be unhappy when I bring her back.

Xiao Yunlong popped his eyes as he stared at Wu Chengyue in shock, saying, "Wha-what did you say? You're getting married? What about Ling Ling? What if that woman secretly bullied my goddaughter? Who is she?"

Wu Chengyue found his reaction amusing. "Calm down! It's me who's going to get married, not you. Why're you worrying so much?" he said carelessly, "Do you think I'll marry a woman who'll hurt Ling Ling? Am I such an awful and stupid person?"

Xiao Yunlong straightened his upper body and continued staring at Wu Chengyue with confusion while asking, "No, I mean… are you really going to marry someone? Are you serious?"

"What has been done cannot be undone. Shouldn't I continue?" said Wu Chengyue.

Xiao Yunlong popped his eyes again to gaze at Wu Chengyue, as if the latter was a ghost, "You were raped last time, and that cannot be undone either. Why didn't you marry her?"

Wu Chengyue paused for a second, then stared at him expressionlessly and responded, "Could I possibly marry someone like that? Why don't you think about what kind of woman she was? If you were raped by an evil woman, would you marry her?"

Xiao Yunlong immediately lowered his head and replied, "Forget it! I can't handle a woman like that. So, is that the reason why you made it clear with Yue? Who is she? Where is she from?"

Wu Chengyue shook his head and said, "You'll know. I haven't dug out her background yet."

Xiao Yunlong looked at him from head to toe while saying with a weird look, "I remember that day you went to Yuan Tianxing's place to pick up Ling Ling… You stayed there for quite a long time, and came home late. So, you were doing that. Only two women lived in that place, Lin Wenwen, and the one with a katana. You didn't sleep with one of them, did you?"

After saying that, he frowned as he found a problem. "Em, we've already known about Lin Wenwen's background, but just now, you said that you haven't dug out her background yet. Is that the woman with a katana? The one named… Long Qing or something?"

Wu Chengyue shook his head at him and said, "You've been overthinking. It's not one of them.

Hearing that, Xiao Yunlong looked at him, his eyes full of puzzles. "What? Not them? Who is she then? Did you run into a pretty woman and sleep with her in a woods on your way back?"

Wu Chengyue sighed, then waved a hand at him and responded, "Ugh, just give up! You're definitely not smart enough to guess that out. Now, I've made Yue sad, and it's awkward for me to see her. So, Ling Ling and I will stay here for the time being. You should take the opportunity to talk to her."

"Me… talk to her? She has been listening to your words only," Xiao Yunlong replied helplessly after Wu Chengyue told him to talk to Meng Yue. The latter stood up from the couch and said, "Aren't you going to? Well, I'll send Licheng then. Licheng, come in!"

He abruptly shouted toward the door, then walked to his desk.

Xiao Yunlong confusedly heard him talking about letting Xiao Licheng talk to Meng Yue. Was he trying to create opportunities for Xiao Licheng and Meng Yue?

Seeing Xiao Licheng open the door and come in, Xiao Yunlong immediately stood up and said, "I will do it. Why are you sending Licheng? He doesn't know how to talk…" While speaking, he quickly turned and left.

Xiao Licheng looked at Wu Chengyue with confusion, then turned to the tall and sturdy Xiao Yunlong who was leaving.

After watching Xiao Yunlong leave, Wu Chengyue sat down behind his desk and said to Xiao Licheng, "Ling Ling and I will live here for now. Please go back to pack some of our clothes and bring them here."

"Yes, sir!" Xiao Licheng nodded and responded.

"Go," Wu Chengyue waved a hand at him.

Wu Yueling had been spending time alone, without paying any attention to the conversation between the adults. After Xiao Licheng left, she raised her head, looking at the drawing board in her hand.

She put down the pencil and jumped off the couch, then put on her tiny shoes before running to Wu Chengyue with her drawing board.

Wu Chengyue was going to start reading files, but he put down the files upon noticing Ling Ling's movements and turned to look at her.

He saw her quickly run over, then lean against his legs and hand him the drawing board.

"What did Ling Ling draw?" Wu Chengyue affectionately rubbed her head and asked. After that, he turned to look at Wu Yueling's drawing.

The drawings created by children were mostly very abstract. Wu Yueling's drawing was composed of some rough shapes and simple colors. But still, children' drawings could provide some information.

Wu Yueling drew three people—two adults with a child between them. What her father didn't understand was why one of the two adults was bald.

He pointed at the little person in the middle and asked Wu Yueling, "Ling Ling, is this you?"

Wu Yueling looked at him with a pair of sparkling eyes and nodded. Then, Wu Chengyue pointed at the adult with hair and asked, "Who's this?"

Wu Yueling pointed at him and looked at him, without saying anything.

Wu Chengyue then pointed at the bald adult and continued, "Who's this then?"

Wu Yueling seemed to be a little struggling now. She pointed at her own head, then rubbed her hands together.

She might have felt how unclear it was, so she started to look around. Her father couldn't figure out what she was looking for. And then, she abruptly put both hands on her chest and drew a pair of arcs.

Wu Chengyue was stunned, as he realized that his innocent little girl had grown some gender consciousness!
