Chapter 98
When Yun Fangqian learned that his eldest daughter had not died, he was both shocked and unsurprised.
He had known it. Yun Jian had most likely never died—she had only been gravely injured, and with Tang Rong lost, the Tang family had merely staged the whole thing.
The internet was flooded with topics about Yun Jian. Just as Yun Fangqian was about to go find someone, he suddenly received a summons from the Empire’s Supreme Court.
The Tang family had already investigated everything thoroughly and gathered all the evidence. He no longer had any chance of turning things around.
Tang Zheng’en accompanied Yun Jian for her final meeting with him.
Yun Jian did not say much. There was no cursing, no mockery, no sadness. Even her gaze was calm. She only asked him one simple question:
“Do you know what Xiao Rong’s ability is?”
Yun Fangqian’s pupils shrank.
Could it be…?
“He is going to become the most powerful healer in the entire galaxy. Under his soothing influence, the Tang family’s mental power has already stabilized,” Yun Jian paused, “and he is also going to become the happiest child.”
Yun Fangqian stared at her with bloodshot eyes, his expression splitting apart.
“So it was not Yun Jian’s ability—but Tang Rong’s ability.”
The thing he had pursued his whole life had once been almost within his grasp.
The day Tang Rong came to the Yun family, he should have been more cautious. No matter what, he should have found a way to keep him there…
He was only four years old—easy to control. The Tang family were all terrifying monsters. He would definitely have been afraid. With a little brainwashing, he would have chosen to stay with the Yun family.
But now, everything was too late.
He had known it… he had always known it… Their Yun family truly did possess the bloodline of powerful healers. As long as it was carefully selected and passed down according to his design, powerful healers would keep being born…
Tang Rong was the best example.
Tang Zheng’en raised a hand around his wife’s shoulders and led her straight out of the room.
One final blow to this half-human, half-ghost thing was more than enough.
All the evil he had committed would be enough to torment him until he died.
…
When the trial ended, Yun Jian and Tang Zheng’en got into the hovercar to head home. Their mood was not as heavy as they had imagined it would be.
Seeing Tang Zheng’en still frowning, Yun Jian immediately held out her light-screen in front of him.
Tang Rong had sent over quite a few more cheesy pick-up lines. The last one was even a question.
Little Treasure: “Mom, do you like watermelon juice, strawberry juice, or me—your little baby juice who will love you forever?”
Tang Zheng’en’s tightly drawn brows immediately relaxed, and the line of his lips curved upward. He could not help laughing out loud.
“Where did the little one learn that from? From his big brother?”
Yun Jian analyzed it. “Doesn’t sound like something a straight man would say. Feels more like something a funny guy would say.”
A funny guy…
Tang Zheng’en mentally reviewed all the funny men and funny women around Tang Rong and quickly locked onto one target.
“Could it be Shen Yuchun?”
Shen Yuchun was silly and funny enough to count as a funny guy.
Yun Jian asked, “That boy who makes really delicious desserts?”
Tang Zheng’en nodded. “Yes, him.”
Some time ago, Shen Yuchun had sent over another batch of desserts. Many of them had adorable little bird elements on them. That bit of intention was so obvious it practically glowed.
Yun Jian had once tested Tang Qiu about it. Tang Qiu had gotten so shy she turned straight back into her little bird form, so Yun Jian had stopped asking. Besides, things had been too busy lately, so the matter was temporarily set aside.
Her eldest son was about to get married. Her second daughter also seemed to have a bit of good news. Very nice.
As for her third son—he was still underage, so there was no rush.
And her youngest… Thinking of the little snow leopard and that childhood engagement, Yun Jian smiled softly and obediently replied to him:
Mom: “Mom of course likes little baby juice the most.”
…
Tang Rong worked hard, using cheesy lines to cheer his mother up. When he saw a smile finally appear on her face after she came back, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Yun Jian treasured him so much that she pulled him into her arms and kissed his little cheeks.
She did not dare imagine what this family would have become like if there had been no Xiao Rong.
Thinking of that, Yun Jian could not help kissing his face several more times.
Because of the Yun family matter, Yun Jian still inevitably carried some emotions inside, but she did not show them in front of Tang Rong.
At night, Tang Zheng’en did not transform into his spirit form. Instead, remaining in his human form, he pulled her into his arms, his broad chest pressed against her back, his gentle lips resting against the crown of her hair.
Yun Jian stretched one arm out for Tang Rong to use as a pillow. The fluffy little snow leopard curled up in his arms, and the two little ones had already fallen fast asleep.
Recently, Tang Yao and Lin Fei had been busy preparing for their wedding. Tang Qiu was rushing to finish the formal wear they would wear that day. Tang Hu was also composing music for the wedding. None of them had come over to crowd the bed.
Tang Zheng’en spoke softly to Yun Jian in a low voice.
Yun Jian replied to him just as softly, while continuing to kiss the sleeping little cub’s face.
The little cub’s cheeks were simply too soft, too perfect for kissing. It was incredibly addictive.
The next day.
Tang Rong obediently got up carrying the little snow leopard and headed into the bathroom to wash up, preparing to go to kindergarten.
Yun Jian and Tang Zheng’en had stayed up talking late into the night and had not slept well, but the sounds of them getting up woke them too, and they did not continue sleeping.
Not long after, the little cub came pattering back in his slippers.
“Mom, my face…” Tang Rong’s eyes were round and wide as he looked up at Yun Jian, who was sitting on the bed, anxiety filling his gaze. “My face feels like… it’s swollen.”
Yun Jian: “!”
The left side of the little cub’s face really was swollen. Compared to the right side, it was extremely obvious—you could see it at a glance.
And the reason it had swollen—was painfully clear. She had kissed it last night.
Feeling both guilty and distressed, Yun Jian gently touched the swollen side of his face and asked, “Does it hurt?”
Tang Rong shook his head. “It doesn’t hurt. It just feels kind of strange.”
And besides, having one side of his face swollen made him look ugly.
Tang Zheng’en, who had been changing clothes, also walked over. After checking Tang Rong’s little face, he looked at his wife. He had clearly guessed the reason.
After all, he had seen very clearly how she had kept sneaking kisses onto their son’s face last night.
Still, he did not expose her. He simply waited for her to confess on her own.
When Shen Muhan came out of the bathroom after changing back into his human form and putting on clothes, what he heard was Yun Jian apologizing.
“I’m sorry, little treasure. Mommy couldn’t help kissing your little face for too long last night and made it swell up. Mommy will definitely be more careful next time and not kiss for so long.”
He had noticed the swelling on Xiao Rong’s face earlier too, but at that moment he had just changed back from his snow leopard form into a human body and had been completely naked, so he had felt too embarrassed to go over and touch Xiao Rong’s face to check on him.
Afterward, Xiao Rong had hurried out of the bathroom to find his parents.
At first, Shen Muhan had thought Xiao Rong looked like he did back then when his snow leopard form had been stung by an insect—his face had swollen up into a huge bump after being stung by a bee.
But this was from being kissed swollen?
After hearing the explanation, Tang Rong’s anxiety instantly vanished, and his tightly knitted little brows relaxed.
As long as it was not swollen because he was sick, then it was fine!
It was from his mother’s kisses. It was his mother’s love.
During breakfast, Yun Jian used a towel to gently apply a compress to the swollen side of his face. The swelling did not go down quickly, but it felt more comfortable, and it did help a little.
After breakfast, Tang Rong and Shen Muhan went into the learning pod together.
The virtual kindergarten’s character models automatically rescanned the children’s real-time data every day by default. Their appearance and clothing were exactly the same as when they entered the pod.
Because of that, everyone immediately noticed Tang Rong’s swollen half-face and all expressed concern.
Tang Rong shyly explained that it was from his mother kissing him and that it was nothing serious, so no one needed to worry.
Although he no longer worried that the swollen side of his face meant he was sick, he still felt that having only one side swollen looked strange and awkward, so he kept unconsciously lifting one hand to cover the swollen side.
Just like when he used to hide all the red spots on his body whenever he broke out from animal allergies.
Shen Muhan carefully noticed this. After school, he suddenly called Tang Rong outside the classroom.
“Do you feel like having one side of your face swollen is weird and awkward, and that it makes you uncomfortable?” Shen Muhan asked.
Tang Rong nodded.
“I have a solution,” Shen Muhan said.
Tang Rong blinked. “What solution?”
“Let’s go out first.”
“Okay.”
After logging out of the learning pod, Shen Muhan pulled Tang Rong into the little yard and sucked on the other side of his face—the side that was not swollen yet.
