“Even if you’re unable to get married, I would still marry you.” He mulled over his words for a long time before saying this.

Xue Ling sneered at his words and twisted his head to look at him, finding it funny as he said, “Lou Cen, is your self-awareness that bad? You have already rejected me once. What do you mean by coming to find me now? Our engagement has already been cancelled, and we have nothing to do with each other. You also don’t need to say these words to me.” The meaning behind his words were very clear. He meant, since there was nothing between them, Lou Cen should just go ahead and get lost.

Lou Cen’s eyes narrowed, as he stared at Xue Ling’s side profile almost greedily. The words that had been spoken just now were clearly words to terminate their relationship, but there was a sense in his heart that the other party was joking with him. This feeling was very unreasonable, since according to the little merman’s words, the courtship he was just about to begin had already failed, but his agitated heart told him that the other party not actually intend to chase him away, but was rather playing with him. It must be that he had made him angry somehow, and as long as he coaxed him a bit everything would be fine.

Following this enigmatic intuition, Lou Cen placed his hand on Xue Ling’s head. “Why did you come out of your house so late at night?”

Xue Ling moped, and did not speak.

Lou Cen’s movements were very gentle, his hands caressing the ends of his hair, bringing with them a magical ability to soothe. “In a bad mood?”

Xue Ling blinked, and when he realized that his temper could not make the man panic at all, he realized he should change his plan. His eyes reddened again as he lowered his head and clutched at his fishtail skirt. “Am I particularly hard to like…”

Lou Cen was surprised as he replied, “Why do you ask that?”

“You don’t like me, and your mother doesn’t like me…” He uttered such remarks aggrievedly. “While you were in a coma, she thought of using it as an excuse for me to break off my engagement with you… Am I just so unlikeable that she couldn’t even tolerate me wanting to have the title of being your fiancé for a moment longer?” Tears flooded his eyes as his shoulders shook, making him look particularly wronged and pitiful. “Perhaps even mother won’t like me anymore in the future, and my two elder brothers and father won’t want me anymore… Junjun… Junjun also won’t like me… after all, I robbed him of his mother and father for so many years…”

Lou Cen was a little flustered, the little merman had clearly been very energetic and full of spirit when he spoke to him just now, but now he seemed to be carrying a sense that the entire world had abandoned him, making his heart ache unbearably as he also became distressed. “Be good.” He reached out his hand to rub his head, speaking as calmly as he could, “You still have me. I won’t leave you.”

The little merman looked at him through the haze of tears in his eyes, curled his lips, and said, “You were obviously the first to leave.”

Lou Cen’s heart was going to melt. He squatted down and looked directly at the little mermaid, reaching out to lightly, gently, gather him into his arms. The feeling of finally being close to him was extremely wonderful, and Lou Cen let out a sigh of satisfaction. His hand slid down Xue Ling’s back, and he petted his back in comfort, as though comforting him, but also giving him strength and support. “That was my mother’s decision, and not what I wanted. I like you very much, like you to the point of madness. As soon as I think of you being with others, I become unable to control my own desire to kill.” After Lou Cen spoke, he realized that the person in his arms was a little merman, and his violent words might have frightened him.

But when he looked down at him, that pair of eyes were staring at him, dark as ink, with golden rims, and watching him intently. This kind of gaze made it difficult for Lou Cen to hold back, and he was especially afraid that he would not be able to help himself and end up doing the little merman on the spot.

He had no confidence in his own self-control. Just looking at this little merman made his heart beat like a drum, and he was ecstatic every time he came a little closer. Now that he had the person in his arms, he no longer wanted to let go, and being gazed at him like that made him want to be looked at like this for a lifetime.

Lou Cen never knew that he could fall so fast, without any time or intention to struggle. If it had to be described poetically, it only took a glance for him to begin a lifelong mistake.

Things that had already arrived in General Lou’s hands would never be released easily. He did not feel that he has fallen into a lifelong mistake. Since he felt so strongly that he wanted to be with this person, then he should just go ahead and make it happen. And although the little merman said on the surface that he wanted him to leave, and did not want to acknowledge him, some small actions of his still let Lou Cen see that the little merman liked him, making his confidence stronger than than ever before.

“The things that are spoken always sound better than real action.” As though noticing something, Xue Ling struggled somewhat discontentedly and tried to break away from Lou Cen’s embrace.

Then, unexpectedly, he heard Yan Zhaiyan’s violent voice. “That bastard! Let go of him for me!!!” Following the sound of his voice, the sounds of several footsteps could be heard.

Xue Ling had guessed that it should be the people from inside the house who had come out to find him after discovering that he was gone. His struggle just now had been done deliberately for them to see.

He had already said that he would not let Lou Cen smoothly get what he wanted. With his short temper, how could it be so easy to coax him back with just a few good words?

Lou Cen was reluctant to let Xue Ling go. Before he did so, he even bowed his head to drop a kiss on Xue Ling’s forehead.

Now, Yan Zhaiyan was no longer simply roaring. He immediately rushed forward to fight Lou Cen.

Lou Cen blocked his movements with one hand, used some strength, and pushed himself two steps away. Despite performing such a series of movements, his eyes were still glued to Xue Ling’s body without wavering the slightest bit.

Yan Qingjun followed behind him, and immediately came to Xue Ling’s side. He pulled on his hand and looked him over. When he saw that Xue Ling’s eyes were slightly red, he spoke out anxiously, “Wenwen, were you crying? Did he make you cry?!”

Xue Ling shook his head. “It has nothing to do with him.”

“How does it have nothing to do with him.” Yan Zhaiyan’s indignation was clear on his face, and it became even worse when he heard that his younger brother had been crying. “It was their family that wanted to dissolve the engagement before, and everything has already been cleared up. What is he doing here now?!”

At this point, even Yan Chuhuan’s facial expression was not good. He coldly said, “General Lou, we need you to give us an explanation.”

“Explanation?” Lou Cen patted his clothes and said, “I came because of the previous engagement.”
