Chapter 346: You’re the Only Person I l.u.s.t After
The bed was quite big and was two meters wide.
As they were about to get married, Yu Donghai bought four red and pink condoms for Yu Huang. The moment they entered the master bedroom and saw the wine red blanket on the bed, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were speechless.
Sheng Xiao held back his laughter and commented, “It’s quite… festive.”
Yu Huang nodded. “Yes, you make it sound like tonight is our wedding night.”
Sheng Xiao said, “Then, there’s still something missing.” He pointed at the bed and said, “You have to put the word ‘happy’ on it.”
Yu Huang chuckled.
There was a separate bathroom in the master bedroom. Yu Huang asked Sheng Xiao to take a shower first while she went to Yu Donghai’s room to talk to him.
After Yu Donghai finished showering, he took off his prosthetic arm and placed it on the window sill. When Yu Huang came in, Yu Donghai was sitting on the window sill and rubbing his knee.
“Does your knee hurt?”
Yu Donghai grinned at her and shook his head. “It doesn’t hurt.” This really wasn’t considered painful.
Yu Donghai’s room wasn’t big, only having a 1.2-meter bed. Other than that, there was a three-door wardrobe and a bookshelf on one wall.
Yu Donghai was a person who loved to read. There were all kinds of books on the bookshelves.
Yu Huang took out a bottle of medicinal wine from the bookshelf and walked to the windowsill to sit down. She carried her father’s short legs onto her legs, then bent down and used the medicinal wine to ma.s.sage Yu Donghai’s knee and prosthetic arm.
Yu Donghai had long adapted to the existence of artificial limbs, but after a day of action, the surface of his skin was still slightly swollen.
Yu Donghai leaned against the wall and looked at Yu Huang with a gratified expression. He sighed and said, “Unknowingly, we’ve been reunited for almost three years.”
“That’s right,” Yu Huang said. “When we reunited, I just turned 18. In a few months, I’ll be 21.”
“I really didn’t expect that you would get married at such a young age,” Yu Donghai said. “In this day and age, commoners advocate getting married later. As a Beast Tamer, you got married as soon as you reached adulthood. I still feel a little reluctant.”
Yu Huang consoled Yu Donghai, “Father, it’s not that people nowadays advocate later marriage and childbirth, but that times are different. The people of the past didn’t have a good life. They were satisfied as long as they could live a good life. As for love, if they can make do without it. If they can live together, they won’t be picky.”
“But now, the people are living a happy life. Be it men, women, or girls, they all have more choices. No one is willing to make do. They all want to wait for the right person. But to find the person who is most compatible, there naturally has to be a process of selection. When we find the most compatible person, won’t we be old?”
Yu Donghai chuckled when he heard this, and he teased Yu Huang. “You’re beating around the bush because you want to tell Father that you found the person you were destined to be the most compatible with?”
Yu Huang nodded. “Yes.”
After living for more than two hundred years, she had seen at least nine hundred outstanding men. No man had ever made her heart flutter like Sheng Xiao did.
Her old heart was revived because of Sheng Xiao.
“Forget it. You have always been independent. I trust your judgment.” Yu Donghai pulled open the curtains and stared at the moon in the starry sky outside the window. He said, “I still remember how you looked when the Young Master carried you back from the Upper World. You were so small, as if you would break with a pinch. When I hugged you, my hands and feet were all stiff.”
“Occasionally, the Young Master would hold you in one hand while sunbathing. I was afraid that he would accidentally drop you to the ground. I’ve mentioned this to the Young Master a lot.”
“In the blink of an eye, that little child is about to get married. If the Young Master was still alive, he would definitely be very happy.” Every time he was happy, Yu Donghai would think of his dead Young Master, and he couldn’t help but feel sad.
Yu Huang didn’t tell Yu Donghai that she had a wisp of her father’s remnant soul. If she told him, she was afraid that her father would get his hopes up, and she was also afraid that she would be disappointed.
Yu Huang mentioned something else. “Father, I plan to partic.i.p.ate in the Saint Tomb in three months.”
Yu Donghai had grown up beside Yin Mingjue, so he naturally knew what a Saint Tomb was. “Alright. Back then, the Young Master had also gone to the Saint Tomb and obtained the inheritance of a senior from the Yin Clan! If you can also obtain the inheritance, that would be great.”
When he spoke up to here, Yu Donghai thought of another matter. His expression instantly changed, and he said nervously, “But if you obtain the inheritance, then your ident.i.ty as a direct descendant of the Yin Clan will be exposed. At that time, that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d Yin Mingchong will definitely guess your ident.i.ty.”
“This is what I want to tell you, Father.” Yu Huang put down Yu Donghai’s leg. She held Yu Donghai’s hands and told him, “Father, three months later, let’s return to the Yin Clan!”
Yu Donghai’s eyes widened. “Return to… the Yin Clan?”
“Yeah.”
Yu Donghai’s eyes instantly turned red. He hammered his palm on the marble table by the window and gritted his teeth as he said, “Then let’s kill our way back to the Yin Clan and scare that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d Yin Mingchong!”
…
The light in the living room was switched off, and only the light in the corridor was on. Yu Huang walked out of Yu Donghai’s room and saw Sheng Xiao standing beside the water dispenser in the living room.
Sheng Xiao held the gla.s.s of water and looked at her with shock in his eyes.
Yu Huang wasn’t sure how much Sheng Xiao had heard. She licked her lips and asked, “How long have you been standing here?”
Sheng Xiao held a gla.s.s filled with water and gulped down a mouthful of water. Then, he held the gla.s.s and stared at Yu Huang’s beautiful face. He said thoughtfully, “There’s only one Yin family descendant who wanders outside.”
Sheng Xiao tightened his grip on the cup. He asked hoa.r.s.ely, “Are you… Yin Huang?”
Yu Huang fell silent.
Her silence told Sheng Xiao the answer.
“You’re Yin Huang.” Sheng Xiao sounded certain.
Yu Huang licked her lips again.
She suddenly strode to Sheng Xiao and took the gla.s.s from his palm. She drank the remaining half of the gla.s.s.
Yu Huang looked up at Sheng Xiao. She said, “Although I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you the truth, I had to do it. Sheng Xiao, the Yin family is too powerful, and my father and I were too weak in the past. If I told the truth too early, my father and I might have lost our lives.”
Yu Huang said in a domineering tone, “You have to understand. You’re not allowed to be angry.”
Why would Sheng Xiao be angry?
His heart ached.
Yu Huang and Uncle Yu didn’t even dare to return to the Yin Clan and were hiding their ident.i.ties, so the matter was definitely related to Yin Mingchong.
Sheng Xiao was a smart person. He thought about Yin Huang’s unusual disappearance and guessed Yin Mingchong’s role in this matter.
The magnanimous and benevolent Grand Master Yin was actually a b.a.s.t.a.r.d who killed his niece to consolidate his power!
Sheng Xiao suddenly pulled Yu Huang to him and pressed her into his arms. He asked in concern, “Not long after school started, Grand Master Yin came to the academy to teach. Were you afraid of him?”
Yu Huang didn’t want to hide it in front of Sheng Xiao. She nodded slightly. “Of course I was. Why wouldn’t I be? I was just a Scholar back then, and he was Grand Master Yin, who was high and mighty. I even had to hold my breath when I faced him.”
Hearing this, Sheng Xiao hugged her even tighter.
“Don’t be afraid of him in the future.” Sheng Xiao stroked Yu Huang’s hair and back. He kissed the side of Yu Huang’s face and said firmly, “If he dares to bully you, the Sheng family won’t stand by and do nothing!”
Yu Huang suddenly smiled.
“What are you laughing at?”
Yu Huang stood up from Sheng Xiao’s arms. She said to Sheng Xiao, “What would you think if someone said that I approached you on purpose to attract your attention so that I could cozy up to you and use your status to deal with Yin Mingchong?”
Although the real reason why Yu Huang was willing to marry Sheng Xiao was only because of love, she still asked about this possibility. Because when her ident.i.ty was revealed, someone would definitely guess her motive for getting close to Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao scratched her nose. “I will be grateful for being born in such a privileged family. I will thank my parents for giving me wealth and status.”
“I’m extremely honored to be used by you.”
Yu Huang smiled. “Keep your mind clear. Don’t be used by others.” Yu Huang grabbed Sheng Xiao’s hand and said, “Sheng Xiao, I’m willing to marry you not because I l.u.s.t after the power and status of the Sheng family. I only l.u.s.t after you.”
She was serious. Sheng Xiao blushed.
“It’s getting late. Go back to your room.”
Sheng Xiao put down the gla.s.s and pulled Yu Huang back to her room.
Back then, when they were buying furniture, Yu Donghai had put in a lot of effort into decorating the master bedroom. The mattress in the master bedroom was the most expensive one in the store. After Yu Huang took a shower, she laid on the bed in her nightgown and tried it on. She instantly felt comfortable and said, “Oh! This mattress is comfortable.”
Sheng Xiao felt his body heat up when he heard her sweet voice. He closed his eyes and said sternly, “Go to sleep. Don’t say ‘oh’.”
Yu Huang laid on her side. She stared at Sheng Xiao’s handsome face and said deliberately, “Ah! This bed is so comfortable. It’s so big and suitable…”
Sheng Xiao covered her mouth. “Shut up!”
