111 Out of all the women in this world (1/2)
”Why?” Sitting on her mother's lap, Fu Mian whines. Nobody said anything during breakfast. ”Why can't we go with you, Daddy?”
”Not safe.” Fu Sheng pinches her cheek. ”Be good and stay with your mother.”
Fu Mian wants them to live together. Now that her mother is here, her father is going away. Why does this keep happening? ”When will you come back?”
”It will take a few days.” He answers her, ”Don't ever get out of the castle. If someone tries to take you away, bite your finger and feed him your blood.”
The eight noble vampires swallow hard. Did the king just give her permission to incinerate them?
”I won't hurt my uncles.” Fu Mian frowns at him. ”Daddy, you have to hurry back home as soon as possible.”
”I will do my best.” He pecks her head. Then, he looks at Huang Qiuyan who is gazing back at him with sadness in her eyes. ”Will you wait for me here?”
She gives him a nod. It's not like she has a choice. He won't take her with him. Then, she might come in their ways if she goes with them. ”I don't like waiting. Come back soon.”
He smiles when he hears her answers and leans closer to peck her forehead. ”While waiting for me here, think of the ways.”
Ways? She looks into his smiling eyes. He's talking about the ways to make him kiss her back. She blushes hard. ”You just kissed me.”
”That's not mating.” Though he would love to take her, he wants her to think clearly before he comes back. Jin will teach her to build her mental fortitude and help her with her magic. Aiken, Noah, Izo, Kai and Klyn will stay here. Lei and Han are going with him. ”I will miss you both.”
Living days without his mate and child is akin to torture.
Huang Qiuyan's lips tremble. She doesn't like this feeling in her heart. Something precious is going away. Whether it's bond or not, she doesn't care anymore. Who knows what is waiting outside this castle? Fu Sheng is strong, but she's still worried. ”Promise me that you will come back.”
”I promise.” He places his hand on her cheek. He wants to etch this face in his memories. He takes one last glance at Fu Mian before he turns around and walks toward Sung siblings who are waiting for him. Lei and Han follow Fu Sheng. Huang Qiuyan watches them dive into the air one by one. She is already missing him.
As soon as the last person is gone, Huang Qiuyan feels a gust of wind pass by her. She sees Klyn's back before he jumps into the air. Aiken yells after him, ”Don't go, Klyn.”
”Don't stop him, Brother Aiken.” Jin grabs Aiken's arm. ”He can't help but disobey the king.”
”Why?” Izo asks with a raised brow. ”He's been warned. Why is he making another mistake by disobeying the king? He's not strong enough.”
”He found his true mate,” Jin announces.
”Our Klyn found his true mate? Are you sure, Jin? His longest relationship was only a week.”
”Five days.”
Huang Qiuyan hears a new voice. A man in a dark brown leather suit appears behind Jin. She recognizes him right away. He's the man with the spoon.
”You!” Jin jumps away from Kai. ”What are you--”
He points at the suit. ”Is this what I think it is?”
”It's not more interesting than Klyn's true mate.” Kai removes the gas mask. He slightly bows to Huang Qiuyan. ”Greetings, Lady Huang.”
So, he has a face. Huang Qiuyan lets out a breath. She gives him a stiff nod. Kai smiles. The corners of his eyes crinkle. The other vampires notice this. They all wonder how Huang Qiuyan managed to get Kai's interest.
