Ch91 - What kind of situation was this? (2/2)

“I feel that you’re just saying that.”

Yan Qingjun: “If Wenwen continues to be so insecure, then he won’t be cute at all.”

“You’re even threatening me!” Xue Ling moved back to his own seat and snorted, “Of course I am the cutest. If he doesn’t like me, then forget it. I won’t like him either. He’ll be blacklisted from today onwards!”

The system was speechlessly staring at its own host. It no longer wanted to discuss its host. Wasn’t it just that he wanted to slander the man because he had lost a bet? Did he really need to find so many reasons and excuses in order to speak badly about Lou Cen in front of the protagonist shou?… How firm was his resolution to destroy the potential relationship between the two… even though its host already knew that the man would not like anyone other than himself… Its lord host’s acting skills had gotten better and better recently if he could pull off this kind of act without breaking out of character.

Yan Qingjun helplessly took in his childish behaviour before opening his mouth to ask, “Wenwen, you’ve never told me – what kind of person is your sweetheart?”

“What kind of person?” Xue Ling tried to recall the original body’s host’ memories regarding Lou Cen. He said, “Cold as ice. He looks very unkind, and does not have even a hint of popularity, and is not even a little bit gentle with merfolk.”

Yan Qingjun: “…” So, what exactly was it that he liked?

“But he looks good.”

Yan Qingjun: “…” To put it simply, it was just all about his face, right?

“Now, it would be useless even if he was even better looking. Who told him not to come and find me? Since he doesn’t want to be with me so much, then he won’t get the chance to be with me.” Xue Ling harrumphed and said, “So what if he’s left the hospital? So what if he’s promoted to a General as soon as he’s discharged? Blacklisted!”

Yan Qingjun latched onto a key word: “General?”

Xue Ling made an ‘ah’ sound: “I’ve never told Junjun about his identity before?”

Yan Qingjun: “…” No, you were constantly being depressed by yourself.

“My sweetheart is called Lou Cen, and he’s currently a Lieutenant General. He ran off on a mission in order to put off our engagement party, injured himself, and fell into a coma. And then his mother forced me to break off my engagement with him. Perhaps it was because she felt that he would be better off not marrying me… and then he woke up half a month ago when I went to see him.” Xue Ling propped his chin on his hand and continued, “I didn’t understand anything when I was younger, and wanted to tie my life and death to a man, threatening to suicide if he didn’t agree to an engagement with me. As a result, he didn’t even cherish me at all. Ignoring the fact that he left on a mission even before our engagement was settled, he didn’t even come to apologize to me after the engagement was cancelled. Honestly, although it’s hard to find breeders, there are a lot of people who like me! Why should I stay strung up on his tree?”

The system wiped off its sweat from beside him, thinking in its heart that Xue Ling had better not be heard by his man, otherwise the other party would kill him off in bed.

Yan Qingjun’s expression was also full of helplessness. “Fine, as long as you’re happy.” People’s hearts were biased. He was currently closer to Xue Ling, so he would naturally stand on Xue Ling’s side. Although that Lieutenant General seemed innocent based on Xue Ling’s words, as a breeder, it was still wrong to make a merperson feel so sad, let alone such a lovely little merman

Lou Cen, who had already been placed on the blacklist and blackened to the point where he could not possibly be any blacker finally returned home and was treated to a meal by his delighted mother, who then turned around and admonished, “Although it ended up being an unexpected surprise rather than a threat and you even broke through in rank, you can’t be so rash next time.”

Lou Cen nodded rather helplessly.

Mister Lou also worked in the army, and his status was also very high. But at the end of the day, he was already middle-aged, and his son was quickly about to surpass him. He had a cold look on his face as he praised him, “The army has already promoted your rank. You should continue to do a good job in the future.”

“Yes.”

Madame Lou looked somewhat strangely at her husband, and tugged at her son’s hand as she said, “Our son is already an SSS-ranked breeder, and there is no rank he can’t reach in the future. Why are you still admonishing him like this?”

“If you ask me, you should rest for a while first. You’ve never taken a vacation ever since you entered the army – how will you be able marry a beautiful little mermaid for your mother like this?” Madame Lou’s eyes were brilliant as she spoke to this point. “Your mother knows a very beautiful and well-bred little merman who is both well behaved and quiet. He even knows how to design clothing – take a look at the fishtail skirt that I’m wearing, it was his work.”

Lou Cen’s expression stiffened, and he spoke very primly, “Mother, I already have a fiancé. It’s not suitable for you to do this.”

The hand that had been in the middle of passing over a dish to Lou Cen stilled, and Madame Lou silently put the plate down. Mister Lou’s facial expression was also ugly, and the entire dinner table suddenly turned quiet.

Lou Cen was rather confused about the situation and continued, “What? I know that you do not like Yan Qiwen. What he did back then crossed a line, but since I’ve already agreed with the Duke’s Palace, I will naturally follow through. It was only because something happened to me that the engagement was postponed…”

Madame Lou’s mouth opened and closed, and she finally spoke tonelessly, “Son, you and Yan Qiwen. Er, the engagement has already been dissolved.”

Lou Cen was stunned.

“After you fell into a coma, your mother went to find him and asked him to dissolve the engagement. He agreed.” If Xue Ling could hear what Madame Lou was saying, perhaps he would praise Madame Lou for having a conscience, since according to this kind of plot, Madame Lou should be pushing all the blame onto his shoulders and scolding him for being shameless, giving up and getting away from Lou Cen after seeing that he was unconscious. This was the proper way to make Lou Cen slowly feel disgust towards him

That would have been rather convenient for them to fall in love together and then mutually hate each other to death. The Xue Ling that was particularly fond of tossing and turning and making the man suffer as they played as a married couple always tended towards this kind of crooked plot direction.

“He agreed?” Lou Cen repeated these words rather strangely. “Then why… why did I see him on the day that I woke up?”

“He said he couldn’t be at ease, and wanted to see you once at the end…” Madame Lou truly felt rather embarrassed. “After all, you two no longer had any relations with each other, and the Duke’s Palace would not find it suitable to bear a grudge towards our family and you, so he came to me as a gesture of goodwill.”

“Your mother knows that you dislike him. His personality doesn’t match yours, which was why I took the initiative to do this. You were very unhappy regarding the matter of the engagement back then, and I thought that we could use your coma as an excuse and help you settle this matter so that you would not have to be bothered by it after you woke up.”

Lou Cen could feel his head starting to hurt.
