Chapter 712: Meeting the Parents

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Yuerou nodded and smiled. “I treat Li Yunmu like a younger brother. Since he lets me manage Lucky Wind City, I naturally do my best. That’s why I called you younger sister, so don’t misunderstand me.”

Yuan Biyao snorted and then said to Li Yunmu, “Take me to your parents!”

Li Yunmu got up and said to Lin Yuerou, “I will leave the matter of the city to you. This time, I have returned to let Biyao meet my parents and to rescue our Earth.”

Lin Yuerou bowed and replied, “I know.”

Upon seeing Yuan Biyao pull Li Yunmu away by hand and gradually disappear together with him, Lin Yuerou’s heart began to bleed. The man whom she had liked for so long had become someone else’s husband. The pain of it threatened to suffocate her.

If she knew that Li Yunmu had taken three wives in total in the Origin World, who knew what she would think.

“This Li Yunmu, wasting my and Ling Shuang’s feelings for him, but he...”

Lin Yuerou frowned, feeling endless sadness in her heart. The four brothers—Li Tian, Li De, Li Fend, and Li Yun—had a general idea of what was going on.

They could see that the city lord had deep feelings for their master; otherwise, her complexion wouldn’t have become so unsightly after seeing Biyao lead their master away.

“City lord, you mustn’t give up at all costs! A man having three wives and four concubines is quite ordinary. If city lord doesn’t mind being master’s concubine...”

Li Feng was someone who was more understanding of other people’s feelings, so after seeing that Lin Yuerou liked Li Yunmu, he couldn’t help but make a suggestion.

Lin Yuerou’s eyes went wide upon hearing his words. “You shut up! I don’t require you to butt into my matters!”

After Lin Yuerou reached the City Lord’s Manor, she resolutely shut the door behind her.

“Our city lord is probably angry at master. He actually brought back a wife without saying a single word. As a person who liked him, she isn’t able to accept it,” Li Yun said.

Li Feng sighed. “Seems like Lucky Wind City will turn into a battlefield for the two women.”

“Then I think city lord will win! There is no opponent that her strategies can’t defeat.”

After Lin Yuerou returned to her room, she began to think about the problem of whether she truly liked Li Yunmu or not. Why exactly did he deserve to be liked by her? Now that he had a wife, did it bother her?

She kept pondering the problem for a long time. If she chose to renounce her love because he had a wife, then that couldn’t be considered as true love!

When she thought about it, Lin Yuerou’s spirit suddenly rose. She also wanted to become Li Yunmu’s wife, and she decided to boldly tell her feelings to him.

Although this attitude was going against the behaviour of eastern women, Lin Yuerou felt that she couldn’t do anything else. All traditions were just floating clouds in front of her happiness.

...

Li Yunmu led Yuan Biyao to his house, where his father and mother spent their days comfortably.

Seeing Li Yunmu return, the eyes of the two elders turned misty. It had been a long time since they had seen their son. They couldn’t help but carass his cheeks with their coarse hands.

“Dad, mom! I have returned!”

“That’s good! That’s good!”

Li Yunmu wiped their tears and then pulled Yuan Biyao’s hand before introducing her to them. “Dad, mom! This is my wife, Biyao.”

“Wife?”

The eyes of the two elderly went wide when they turned to look at Yuan Biyao.

She was a very mature and beautiful woman, and the more the two elderly looked at her, the more they liked her as Li Yunmu’s wife.

Yuan Biyao was also a thoughtful person, so she promptly took their hands and cordially said, “Father, mother.”

After hearing her words, the two elders couldn’t help but praise her. “Yunmu, you truly are skilled, getting such a thoughtful wife. But why didn’t you even consult us once before such an important matter like marriage?”

Li Yunmu didn’t know how to explain it so he could only lie to them. “It was urgent and I couldn’t return at the time.”

The two old people sighed and said, “This time, how long will you stay? At least eat the food cooked by your mother before leaving, okay?”

Li Yunmu nodded and sat down.

The entire household happily ate food together. Yuan Biyao could be considered a happy girl who was relatively good at coaxing the elderly, so the couple loved her more and more, until they were reluctant to part with her.

But Yuan Biyao was completely clear in her heart that she didn’t have much time remaining; the time she had left with Li Yunmu was decreasing with each passing moment. If she could make the two elderly people happy, it could be considered as her fulfilling one of the responsibilities as Li Yunmu’s wife.

In a few days, he would use her to rescue his people, and they would be eternally separated like yin and yang.

At night, the elderly finally fell asleep while chatting with Yuan Biyao.

In the meantime, Li Yunmu encountered Lin Yuerou at the gate to their house.

“Lin Yuerou, why are you here? We have already finished having dinner, you are late.”

Without waiting for Li Yunmu to finish, Lin Yuerou jumped into his embrace and said in a soft voice, “Li Yunmu, I-I like you. Even if you have a wife now, I don’t care. I am willing to do anything for you.”

Li Yunmu was somewhat dumbstruck after hearing Lin Yuerou’s sudden confession. He felt his heart jumping loudly.

Actually, he had always felt that it was impossible for him to marry Ling Shuang or Lin Yuerou because they were too intense. In the end, they ended up as his best friends.

If Lin Yuerou had been his sweetheart, he would have never let her manage Lucky Wind City since it was extremely dangerous.

Yet Lin Yuerou suddenly confessed her feelings to him, and it left him dumbstruck.

“Lin Yuerou... are you alright?”

Li Yunmu thought that Lin Yuerou had too much to drink, but then why didn’t it seem like she has had too much to drink?

“Do you think that I am inferior to that wife of yours?” she asked calmly.

“No, I...”

Before Li Yunmu could finish his words, Lin Yuerou pressed her cherry red lips against his.

Li Yunmu’s eyes went wide. Could that be considered as a forced kiss? Moreover, it came from the person whom he considered to be his best friend!

The scene was seen by Yuan Biyao who had come out to look for him, and the bowl she held fell from her hands.

When Li Yunmu heard the shattering sound, he swiftly pushed Lin Yuerou away and yelled, “Biyao!”
