TBoSP Chapter 8 - Bitten by a snake

She had no choice but to avoid Daddy and Mummy's gaze and secretly bring food below the table for the snake to enjoy.

Just when the snake almost had his fill, Mu Zhen Lin and Xia Tong looked at each other at the same time, as though coming to the same terms before turning back to look at their daughter.

”Chun Chun, your Mummy and Daddy have something we wish to discuss with you...”

”What is it?”

Her mood is exceptionally good today. Even today's dinner smells much fragrant than before.

”It's about your engagement with Ran Chen... Daddy and Mummy both discussed about this, and we've come to an agreement that we are in the wrong in this case. Just because we adults have agreed on the engagement, we do not have the right to decide your happiness for you. However, this engagement has already been agreed to by both sides, Daddy too has no other option. How about this then? Let's wait till Ran Chen comes back. Date him first. If you two are not compatible, then we'll forget about the engagement. What do you think?”

After a long thought, this matter really has no other way about it.

Listening to her Daddy's word, Mu Tang Chun blinked in disbelief. She looked down. No one knew what she's thinking now.

The ”bracelet” suddenly coiled even tighter, causing her to wince in pain. She frowned and looked down to check on her wrist. Didn't he had his fill of food?! Why did that snake bite her? *sobs* It hurts! What if this snake is venomous?! Did she get poisoned?!

Despite all that, the biting snake did not have the slightest guilt at all in doing so. Moreover, he stared at her coldly. This woman... She actually has a fiancee! You deserve this! As soon as he heard the word ”fiancee”, he could not control his impulse and thus, he bit her angrily. This action of his is merely a spontaneous reaction.

(TL: Whoa whoa author-sensei, they just met! You have almost 100 chapters to establish this, you know!)

For some reason, looking into the snake's terrifying glare gave her a guilty conscience.

”Chun Chun, are you listening to me?”

Seeing how his daughter has kept her head down all the while and never replied him, Mu Zhen Lin felt strange.

”Ah?”

She looked up all of a sudden, snapped back to reality by her father's words. Due to the snake biting her wrist, she almost forgot what her Daddy said to her. d.a.m.ned snake.
