"Rongling! Adults are talking, children should not interrupt. Go play over there," Yu Longting glanced at his own brother in front of Ye Jiqing, who looked like a monkey brought on the performance, his expression growing uglier.
Yu Rongling, not convinced, said, "But I was speaking up for you, brother."
"Do I need to repeat myself?" The look in Yu Longting's eyes seemed as if he wanted to tear his brother limb from limb.
Yu Rongling's neck tensed, and he pouted, rolling over to the corner of the room to draw circles, muttering something under his breath.
I speculated on the meaning behind Ye Jiqing's words, "Do you think that I was forced? That you want to save me from misery?"
"Is it not so? You are so afraid of snakes, how could you possibly be with a snake willingly? This child must be his revenge against your father, right?"
Ye Jiqing's gaze became steady, even showing a hint of protection towards me.
