Chapter 1129 - Nothing to Lose (1/2)

Hua Lin Yu's father scrambled to find something he could say to get his son out of the situation so he wouldn't embarrass himself. ”Oh, I bet that the dragons have a lot of interesting customs!”

Unfortunately for him, Xin Lan wasn't on the same page as him when it came to the subject. To him, it was a foregone conclusion that he and Hua Lin Yu would get married soon. Thus, he had no problem at all to answer any questions about the topic. In fact, he was happy that he got the chance to provide some information. That way, there was no way his family wouldn't know that Hua Lin Yu was also interested in having the wedding. ”To be honest, there aren't many customs surrounding our weddings. The dragons are straightforward in this kind of matter.”

Hua Lin Yu couldn't help but feel intrigued. ”What does that mean? So how exactly does a dragon wedding look like?”

Xin Lan glanced at him, a slightly teasing smile on his lips. ”Basically, we jump straight to the wedding night.”

Hua Lin Rong and the two Huo brothers looked quite piqued while the other family members seemed embarrassed by how direct that was.

Xin Lan didn't mind. Anyway, they could ask any dragon and would get the same answer so it wouldn't do to tell them anything else. And also, with his past, there really was no reason to lie. Contrary to others of his race, he didn't have the same hangups since he wasn't affected by Tian's curse, thus, he had had that kind of night with more than just one person. It was just that it didn't quite count. After all, even if you slept with somebody, there was still the aspect of having somebody to vouch for what had happened. And even then …

He couldn't help but think of what had happened between his Master and Chun Yin and narrowed his eyes in response. Yes, even if you did everything according to customs, it might still go wrong. So what was the use in following everything to a T?

Hua Lin Yu originally hadn't thought too much about what Xin Lan had said but seeing his expression change, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. ”What's the matter?”

Xin Lan was pulled out of his thoughts by Hua Lin Yu's voice and turned to him, slightly raising his brows. ”What? Oh, it's nothing. I was just remembering something.”

Hua Lin Yu continued to look at him and then took one of his hands into his, giving him a gentle smile to try and cheer him up. ”It looks like it wasn't a happy memory.”

Xin Lan continued to look at him, his heart stirring faintly. For all these years, he had always been hung up on Jinde. He had been sleeping with a few people to try to get him off his mind but that had never worked for long.
