Allergic To Furry Things But Can Pet Them Mentally – CH96

Chapter 96

With everyone scrambling to stop him, they barely managed to save Yun Jian from Tang Yao’s hands.

Tang Zheng’en held his wife—whom he had only just gotten back after losing her once—tightly in his arms, and the way he looked at his eldest son was no different from how he would look at a mortal enemy.

Tang Yao was pinned down by the butler. One trouser leg was caught in the little nine-tailed fox’s mouth, his other leg was being wrapped up by the little cub and the little snow leopard’s tails, and the little bird had pecked him once on the forehead.

Yun Jian smoothed down the hair that had been mussed up from all the jostling, then hurried to explain everything clearly and apologized to him, saying she should not have teased him by claiming she was a realistic robot.

For a straight man, the most direct method was always the simplest and most effective one.

…

When Lin Fei rushed back right after that, the little black wolf was curled up in Yun Jian’s arms, the little bird nestled on top of its head, and a little nine-tailed fox with its tails braided was lying beside them.

Yun Yuan was neatly dressed, his hair carefully styled, and was in the middle of putting on makeup.

Meanwhile, Yun Jian was teaching Tang Rong the difference between wolves and dogs.

—This was the “compensation plan” Tang Yao had demanded after she disguised herself as a realistic robot and tricked him.

Lin Fei: “……?”

Lin Fei said, “There’s no need to specially order a realistic robot of Aunt Yun Jian just because we’re getting married.”

She had originally planned to keep the wedding simple anyway—just have both families share a banquet together, dress Xiao Rong up as a little flower boy, and then leave for a honeymoon on another planet.

So when she had been urgently called over this time, it was for this “surprise”?

The more she thought about it, the stranger it felt…

As if sensing her thoughts, a light screen popped up above the little black wolf’s head: [Not a robot. Really my mom. Alive.]

Lin Fei: “……?”

The little black wolf added: [If you don’t believe it, ask her something secret that only the two of you know.]

Lin Fei and Aunt Yun Jian had always been very close. When Lin Fei was little, her parents were often too busy with business trips to other planets, so she would frequently stay next door for a while. She could play with Tang Yao and Tang Qiu, and Aunt Yun Jian would braid her hair into pretty little plaits.

After so many years together, there were definitely things that only Lin Fei and Yun Jian knew.

Lin Fei swallowed, then looked at Yun Jian and asked hesitantly, “When I was sixteen and our two families went traveling on another planet together, what did I secretly do?”

Yun Jian replied, “When Xiao Yao got drunk, you secretly touched his abs. I even told you not to be shy and to touch a little more, otherwise they would’ve been grown for nothing.”

Lin Fei: “!”

Her eyes widened instantly. No one besides her and Aunt Yun Jian knew about that.

The little black wolf: “……?”

So his “innocence” had already been gone before they even got together.

…

The very last person to learn the truth was Grandpa Tang Yinsheng.

For the sake of his health, they did not trick him into coming over like before and then reveal everything. Instead, the whole family went together to visit the place where he was staying.

During the three days Tang Rong had been unconscious, Tang Zheng’en had deliberately contacted the hospital and arranged for the doctors to call Tang Yinsheng back for a regular checkup, then found various excuses to keep him in the hospital for the time being.

The house surveillance footage had been casually edited together so that nothing suspicious could be seen.

Earlier that same day, after Tang Rong woke up, Tang Zheng’en had already contacted the hospital again and had Tang Yinsheng sent back.

When the group arrived, Tang Yinsheng was carving a dragon-fruit snow leopard.

Three bodyguards sat nearby, helping him finish off all the dragon-fruit scraps.

Yun Jian did not go inside at once. Instead, she stayed in the garden with the children for a while, waiting for her husband to lay the groundwork before she appeared.

“Dad,” Tang Zheng’en said softly, “if I suddenly told you that Ah Jian is actually still alive, how would you react?”

Tang Yinsheng’s hand, which held the fruit knife and was in the middle of carving the dragon fruit, paused. Tang Zheng’en suddenly felt a chill around his neck and immediately went on alert.

He was an only son, after all. Surely not, right…

Fortunately, Tang Yinsheng did not throw the fruit knife at him. After all, if the knife got dirty, he would not be able to finish carving this snow-leopard dragon fruit in one go.

“I already knew there weren’t any ashes in that urn. You never cremated Ah Jian’s body. So what exactly is going on now?”

He had lived through plenty of storms in life. Though old now, his mind was still sharp. Only the hand gripping the knife trembled uncontrollably, exposing his true emotions.

Tang Zheng’en replied, “Ah Jian didn’t die. She’s in your garden right now. I’ll explain the details slowly.”

His knife slipped crookedly, and the dragon-fruit snow leopard’s tail got cut off.

Tang Yinsheng directly tossed the ruined dragon-fruit snow leopard onto the tray and rose to his feet, heading out to the garden.

In the garden, Tang Rong was in the middle of introducing all the flowers and plants there to his mother one by one.

Yun Jian praised him with great pride, “Our little treasure is amazing. You know so many plants.”

She had already heard from her husband about how Tang Rong had gone missing and spent four years living on Garbage Star. She felt heartache for him, of course, but she also hoped that this part of his life would become a treasure in his future, not just a grey and bitter memory.

How many children his age could recognize so many flowers and plants? When the little nine-tailed fox had been that age, he would chew on anything he saw and upset his stomach several times.

Tang Rong had already done super, super well.

Tang Rong was so happy from being praised. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a familiar figure and cried out in delight, “Grandpa!”

Yun Jian turned around in the direction he was looking and saw Tang Yinsheng, still wearing disposable gloves. Her eyes curved into a smile as she called out, “Dad.”

Though he was not her biological father, after all these years together, they had long since become like a real father and daughter.

Tang Yinsheng instantly started moving his arms and legs on the same side together and nearly tripped over himself.

Tang Zheng’en, who had followed after him, quickly reached out to steady him.

Tang Yinsheng asked, “This really is Xiao Jian?”

It was phrased as a question, but his tone was one of certainty.

He had once secretly ordered a realistic robot himself after his wife passed away.

He knew that robots and real people were actually very different. He could tell that the person before him was not any kind of robot.

Tang Zheng’en said, “The real deal.”

…

A few minutes later, the whole family was seated on the sofas in the living room.

Tang Rong picked up the failed dragon-fruit snow leopard—the one without a tail—and, in the spirit of not wasting food, split it with the little snow leopard in his arms and ate it together with him.

Meanwhile, Tang Zheng’en explained the whole story to his father once more.

Tang Yinsheng felt a wave of fear after the fact. “Good thing we didn’t cremate Xiao Jian back then.”

Tang Zheng’en nodded in agreement, his grip on his wife’s hand tightening all the more.

Yun Jian squeezed his palm in comfort. “It’s all in the past now.”

“Not yet,” Tang Zheng’en said, his gaze darkening. “The truth behind the attack that year still hasn’t come out.”

Now that his wife had awakened, and with her as the first victim’s perspective, it was time to reconstruct the truth and make the people behind it all pay the price.

…

That night, the whole family finally shared a truly meaningful reunion dinner.

Although it was not New Year, and there were no snowflakes outside the window, the feeling of reunion was even stronger than during the New Year.

They ate and chatted, and before they knew it, it had gotten very late.

On a large, soft, comfortable bed, Yun Jian held Tang Rong in one arm. A little lion slept between them. Lin Fei was pressed against Yun Jian’s other side, with the little black wolf curled in her arms. Tang Rong rested his head on his mother’s arm while hugging the little snow leopard, and on the other side there were the little tiger, the little nine-tailed fox, and the little bird all cuddled together.

It was a night full of good dreams.

…

Over the next several days, everyone in the family became exceptionally busy.

Tang Rong knew they were handling the events from four years ago. He was too young to interfere in much, so all he could do was obediently go to kindergarten every day with Shen Muhan.

Every night, his father and mother would hold him while he slept. He loved resting his head on his mother’s arm and nestling himself into her embrace.

The other family members also often came in their fluffy spirit forms and squeezed onto the bed too.

About a week later, Shen Muhan’s parents personally came to the Tang family villa in Eden.

When they arrived, Yun Jian was watching Tang Rong wrap the little snow leopard up in a small blanket like a real baby and feed him milk from a little bottle.

The sight stirred up feelings inside her that were difficult to describe.

Those four years had been completely blank for her. From her perspective, her little treasure should still have been a swaddled infant at this point, and she should have been feeding him milk like this herself.

But he was already more than four years old now, and already knew how to use utensils skillfully.

She had been absent for four years of her little treasure’s childhood and had failed to fulfill her role as a mother. It was hard not to feel guilty and indebted.

The only thing she could do was try her best to make up for it in the days to come.

When the little snow leopard saw his own father and mother arrive carrying many things, he immediately sped up his nursing, even putting extra force into both little ears.

Were they here to discuss his betrothal with Xiao Rong now?
