My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 984: Fallen Into a Trap

"I didn’t mention it," Yu Longting said casually.

I was astonished, "You... didn’t mention it?"

"Upon careful thought, I believe gaining trust first has a higher success rate," Yu Longting responded with unusual rationality, "I only asked about Lin Xinmei."

I felt inexplicably uneasy when he mentioned Lin Xinmei, "How is she?"

"What could it be? To Qing Li, she’s just a stain in her life." Yu Longting sneered with disdain.

I felt even more anxious, "Given Qing Li’s intolerance for imperfections, she wouldn’t have... killed Xinmei, would she?"

"That shouldn’t be the case; even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs," Yu Longting waved his hand, "It’s said that Lin Huan was driven out of the Lin family."

I grew more worried, "Driven out? Do we know where she is?"

"Currently, her whereabouts are unknown; no one knows where Lin Xinmei has gone, whether she’s alive or dead." Yu Longting saw my anxious expression.

Seizing my waist, he lifted me onto the table beside us, warning, "Do not fret over other people’s affairs; you’re still in confinement."

"It’s modern times; why should we bother with confinement, especially since Xinmei is..." She’s not just anybody.

I couldn’t bring myself to say the latter half of the sentence; by blood, Lin Xinmei has some relation to Yu Longting.

But if she’s a stain to Qing Li, wouldn’t she be the same to Yu Longting?

Thinking about it, my heart burned with pain.

I held Yu Longting tightly, "If only such a thing had never happened."

That was Yu Longting’s biological mother, defiled by someone!!

And the perpetrator was from my Lin family!!

If Yu Qingxiao decides to pursue it, blood will surely stain my Lin family.

Then what will be the fate of Yu Longting and me?

"Wanwan, I know what you’re thinking; if Yu Qingxiao strikes, I will protect the Lin family."

Yu Longting surprisingly knew what was on my mind.

I looked up, stared at him wide-eyed, "You... what do you mean?"

"That’s what I meant. Aren’t you tired?" Yu Longting whispered near my ear.

I was suddenly overwhelmed by a tidal wave of drowsiness, my consciousness muddled.

I could only smell the faint aroma of medicine, feeling my whole body sinking.

It wasn’t clear how long had passed when a voice gently woke me, "Wanwan, it’s time to take your medicine."

"Alright." I opened my eyes, awoken by the warm scent of medicine.

I was sitting on a stool, leaning against a medicine cabinet next to the stove, having fallen asleep.

The room was empty, with only a bowl of medicine prepared on the table.

"Yu Longting..." I called out, but received no reply.

I felt a bit panicked and took out my phone to text Yu Longting, just receiving a message from him.

[Yu Longting: Take the medicine and rest early; I’ll be back tomorrow.]

Thinking it over, I didn’t ask him for reasons. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

I replied with an "okay."

After drinking the medicine on the table, I realized something was amiss.

On the ground were two pure white scales and a drop of thick blood.

The blood hadn’t coagulated, surely it had dripped not long ago.

"Is this Yu Longting’s Spiritual Power fluctuation?" I squatted down, touched the blood on the ground, and felt something was terribly wrong.

But a terrifying pain twisted in my abdomen, and suddenly my body was wrapped and tightly protected in the cold, snake-bodied depths, Yu Longting’s alarmed voice filling my ears,

"Wanwan, Wanwan~ Yu Qingxiao, ancient constraints can’t hold you! Whatever you have, take it out on me; what is hurting a weak woman for? I didn’t listen to you, follow your instructions to die, why blame her?"
