Chapter 652 - We Would Have Gone Extinct Long Ago (1/2)
”Longjun …” Leng Jin Yu looked up at this person that seemed to care about him being his father at one time and then completely forgetting about the fact for the rest of the time. ”How about … I accompany you to gather the ingredients?”
”Ah?” Qiu Ling raised his brows and touched his ear. Had he misheard?
Jinde scratched his husband's back in response. ”What are you saying? You want to accompany him? What about me then? Do you want to leave me at home alone? You just came back from your trip to the capital. Have some basic human decency!”
Leng Jin Yu glanced over his shoulder and raised his brows. 'Human decency'? And that from a dragon? He couldn't help but grin. ”Jinde … It's not like I won't come back.”
Jinde pursed his lips and harrumphed but he still understood that this was something Leng Jin Yu had to do. He just was that type of person. It was a miracle he hadn't started with getting to know this son of his long ago.
He sighed and patted Leng Jin Yu's back. ”You go and enjoy yourself then. I'll try to think of some other people that could refine the pill just in case.”
”Mn.” Leng Jin Yu tightened his lips and leaned over for a kiss. ”I wish you could accompany us.”
”What? To witness that bonding time between father and son? Thank you but I doubt I want to see that.”
”That's —”
”Don't worry about it, old geezer. You can have a lot of bonding time with your own child in the future. When I get my Jing He back, I won't mind. It's only logical for you to want another child after the first one leaves the house.”
Jinde smiled wryly. ”Well, wouldn't that be nice.”
Leng Jin Yu rubbed his cheek. ”I'm sorry. Don't think too much about it.”
Qiu Ling pursed his lips. ”What's there to think about anyway? Jing He and I won't be living with you and even though the old geezer is, well, old already it doesn't mean you can't have another —”
Leng Jin Yu cleared his throat and got up. He grabbed Qiu Ling by the shoulder and pushed him to the door. ”Alright, alright, I think we understood. Now, how about we go outside and let Jinde get dressed?”
”Why do we have to leave for that? Can't he get dressed if someone's there?”
Leng Jin Yu didn't bother to answer. He pushed Qiu Ling out of the room and dragged him to the courtyard. His expression was grave when he looked at Qiu Ling.
”What?”
”Don't bring up children in front of Jinde.”
”Why? Don't tell me he's really still hurt that you had a child with somebody else. What about me?”
”What about you? How would I know? I only know that Jinde always wanted a child but your father —”
”You're my father.”
Leng Jin Yu sighed. ”Chun Yin decided to stay with his wife and took his child with him. Jinde wouldn't have minded raising you but this way, he lost his lover and the child. It's really not a subject that's suitable for you to bring up.”
Qiu Ling pursed his lips. ”What are you even talking about? I was talking about the two of you having another one. That shouldn't be a problem.”
