Chapter 926 - Isn’t It Better This Way? (1/2)

Xin Lan finally managed to calm the child down after half an hour. Hua Lin Yu still wouldn't let go though. The dragon sighed and then just sat down with the child still clinging to his neck. Anyway, he would leave for the Jian Yi Sect soon.

Meanwhile, the Hua family watched the interaction between the two of them with curiosity. Just how had he done that? It didn't seem normal. Neither of them had ever managed to pacify the child like this when he was fussy. Just what was the secret?

Madam Hua couldn't help but inch closer and tried to get a look if there was something special about the way he was holding him or something. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to be the case.

Xin Lan looked at her and raised his brows. ”What's the matter?”

”That … How did you do that?”

Xin Lan looked at the child that was also looking up at him with bright eyes and inwardly sighed. ”I also don't know.” Well, at the very least, he couldn't tell the family that most likely it was because he had been the one who upset the little brat so he was also the one who managed to calm him down. That probably wouldn't be too good to convince them later on that he was a qualified son-in-law.

Madam Hua Couldn't help but feel disappointed. Well, it probably didn't matter anyway. After all, hadn't her irresponsible husband promised that Jian Yi Sect that he would bring their son over soon? Then she wouldn't be able to try out her newfound knowledge anyway.

Thinking of that, she sighed and reached out, patting the child's head. ”Your father really doesn't know what he's doing. I'm sure he'll regret this soon.”

Xin Lan glanced at her and pondered silently. It seemed that this Madam Hua wasn't quite satisfied with what her husband had done. Maybe he should use that to stop Xiang Yu's reincarnation from going over to the Jian Yi Sect?

But then again, he didn't know if he would be able to deal with it if he still had to take care of a child for the next few years. Furthermore … If that brat regarded him as family, then how would he become his lover?

He didn't think that his looks or talent were a problem but one could never know what would happen in the future. It might very well be that being too close in the beginning would be detrimental to their future relationship. Naturally, he couldn't risk that.
