Chapter 154: Heartless
Bai Luo asked instead of answering, “I heard that you and Second Brother are about to leave Sun City?”
“Yes, we plan to go home.”
“Isn’t this your home?”
Huanhuan looked at him in amus.e.m.e.nt. “I can understand why Ni Mei would ask such a question. After all, she’s very innocent. But you’re different. Shouldn’t you know better than anyone why Bai Di and I left in such a hurry?”
“I won’t do anything to you. You can live here without worry.” Bai Luo looked into her eyes. “We’ll always be a family.”
!!
Huanhuan shook her head. “We have to go back. My children and mates are still waiting for us at home.”
“I can get someone to bring them to Sun City and live with us.”
“I appreciate the offer, but Bai Di and I can’t stay here.”
Huanhuan paused. She felt that it was a little unreasonable to say this, so she added, “If Bai Di wants, he can come to Sun City to see you every now and then. The relationship between you brothers won’t become distant.”
Unexpectedly, Bai Luo stared at her and asked, “What about you? You won’t come to Sun City again?”
Huanhuan did not want to come here again.
The people living in this beast city were all carnivores. The vegetables and fruits planted by her family did not sell well. If there were more herbivores here, she could consider coming here a few more times in the future to do business.
But she didn’t say it outright. She just replied vaguely, “We’ll see.”
Bai Luo was not satisfied with her answer.
‘What does she mean by saying that? She’s just humoring me.’
Bai Luo grabbed her hand and frowned. “Why do you always refuse my requests? Am I really inferior to my brother in your heart?”
Huanhuan was shocked by his sudden question and forgot to break free from his grip.
She looked at him blankly. “It’s not that I think you can’t compare to Bai Di…”
However, Bai Luo acted as if he didn’t hear her. He was still aggressive. “You think I’m not as smart and powerful as my brother, right?!”
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand at all. Let go of me!”
Not only did Bai Luo not let go of her, but he also took a step forward and pressed her against the tree. His arms supported her sides, firmly imprisoning her in his arms.
He lowered his head to hers. “I tried so hard, but all of you ignored me. You’ll always only have Bai Di in your eyes.”
Huanhuan leaned against the hard tree trunk. There was no way to escape. She could only struggle with all her might, trying to break free from his shackles.
However, she was too weak to push Bai Luo away.
Her face flushed with anxiety. “Bai Luo, calm down!”
Bai Luo grabbed her chin and forced her to look up. “Stay. As my mate, I can give you endless wealth. Don’t you like bamboo bears? If you stay, you can come and play with them every day.”
Huanhuan felt that Bai Luo was very abnormal. He was worlds apart from his usual sunny and cheerful appearance.
He was like an enraged male beast now, his eyes filled with plunder and brutality.
Huanhuan was a little frightened.
Her voice trembled. “I’m your sister-in-law. How can I be with you—”
“No, I’ve never treated you as my sister-in-law.” Bai Luo lowered his head and approached her, his blue eyes locked on her. “I like you very much. I really want to be your mate and spend the rest of my life with you.”
Even though she was afraid, Huanhuan tried to remain calm. “It’s not like that. I can feel it. You don’t like me at all.”
Bai Luo chuckled. “You’re wrong. I do like you a lot.”
“You can fool others, but you can’t fool yourself. You have no romantic feelings for me!”
“Since you don’t believe my feelings for you are real, I’ll have to let you realize it for yourself.”
After saying the last word, he suddenly leaned forward and kissed Huanhuan’s lips!
Huanhuan’s eyes widened in fear as she struggled desperately.
“Boo-hoo!”
Bai Luo relied on his strength and completely ignored her struggles.
He grabbed her chin with one hand and the back of her head with the other, forcing her to accept the kiss that couldn’t be called gentle.
Huanhuan was about to cry.
She did not like Bai Luo. She did not want to be kissed by him!
Someone save her!
At this moment, the lotus that had been lying dormant on her head raised its bud. Its pink petals instantly turned black, and the bud bloomed into a lotus flower. It suddenly became more than ten times larger and bit Bai Luo’s head aggressively!
Bai Luo sensed danger and quickly let go of Huanhuan, avoiding the sneak attack of the lotus.
Huanhuan took the opportunity to break free. She wiped the moisture off her mouth and raised her hand to slap Bai Luo hard!
There was a crack!
Bai Luo was stunned by her slap.
This was the first time he’d been slapped, and by a weak little female too.
For a moment, he did not know how to react.
Huanhuan’s lips were bruised from his biting. They were red and swollen, and her eyes were red. There were teardrops hanging from the corners of her eyes. She looked as if she had suffered a great grievance.
Seeing her like this, Bai Luo’s heart suddenly ached.
He couldn’t help himself. “Don’t cry…”
Huanhuan took a deep breath and tried not to cry.
She shouted, “I’m not going to cry over someone like you!”
The bud drooped down and gently rubbed against her cheek. “Mom, don’t be sad. I’ll help you kill him.”
Although it was inappropriate, Huanhuan couldn’t help but caress the bud.
“Little Lotus, how can you say so many words now? Didn’t you only know how to speak two words previously?”
Moreover, its shape had become much larger. There was a small green lotus seed pod in the center of the petals. It looked small and very cute.
The lotus said softly, “I’ve grown up. I can talk a lot and protect you now.”
Huanhuan touched its petals. After this interruption, the grievance she felt just now was greatly relieved.
But she was still furious!
She wasn’t angry at herself but at Bai Luo.
“Bai Luo, it doesn’t matter how you treat me, but how could you do this to Bai Di?! He’s always loved you. If he learns about what you just said, how sad will he be?!”
Bai Luo turned his head away. “I was just telling the truth.”
“If that’s the truth, then you’re really heartless!”
Huanhuan didn’t want to look at him anymore. She touched the lotus. “Little Lotus, let’s go.”
The lotus waved its sharp leaves at Bai Luo. If he dared to bully its mother again, it would tear him into pieces!
It returned to its obedient form, its small pink bud leaning against Huanhuan’s head.
It was as if its fierce appearance just now was just an illusion.
