Chapter 900 - Strictly Monogamous (1/2)

Originally, Xin Lan wasn't thinking much of the situation. Some time had passed but right now, Xiang Yu hadn't grown up yet and it would be almost another two decades until he did. So what was wrong with enjoying himself for a bit? He didn't have anything else to do.

But when he saw Hua Ming Jun's shocked expression as if he couldn't wrap his head around this, his own expression grew subtle. Damn. Even though he didn't doubt that he had enough charm to make that fallen god's mortal reincarnation fall for him, it would still be bothersome if his mortal family was against this. After all, their influence on him might be huge. No, he had to make sure that their impression of him didn't plummet too far!

He furrowed his brows and glared at the woman. ”Still not leaving?”

She pouted but then straightened out her clothes and left.

Xin Lan watched her and then turned back to Hua Ming Jun, putting on an aggravated expression. ”I really don't know what it is with these mortal women throwing themselves at me. That behavior couldn't be called normal, could it?”

Hua Ming Jun looked back at Xin Lan, his expression awkward. ”No …” Although he couldn't help but wonder just what had really gone on. That woman had come out of the estate, after all. She wouldn't have gotten in there if he didn't let her in, right? But then again, why would he lie about something like this? They were more or less strangers so it was of no consequence to him what this dragon did or didn't do. Although …

Hua Ming Jun couldn't help but clear his throat. He didn't know too many details about the dragons but some information had trickled through over the years. He was indeed a little curious if it was true. ”That has to be a futile attempt. I heard that dragons were strictly monogamous and would themselves to one partner for life. Is that true?”

Xin Lan looked away. ”As soon as we find the right partner, yes.” There was no need to mention that he was the only exception to that rule, was there?

”Ah, I see. That is beautiful to think about.”

”Mn.” Not so beautiful to live as a reality though. Even though he was the exception, he had still fallen in love with somebody he couldn't have and had suffered through too many years. How much worse would it have to be for somebody who could never shift his affections to somebody else? He didn't even want to imagine that.

Xin Lan sighed and shook his head to get rid of these useless thoughts. Anyway, it wasn't his problem. Even though it was hard to give up on Jinde and even though he couldn't imagine ever finding somebody more perfect than him, there was still a small chance. Anyway, he had an eternity to figure it out.
