My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 975: Why Do People Love Their Own Children?

I was mercilessly exposed, and with an awkward laugh, I said, "Haha, I’m just thinking about the bigger picture. Could you try to understand my good intentions, please?"

Wasn’t it agreed to come to Qing Li for news about Qingyang’s whereabouts?

Showing off love only angers Qing Li. Aren’t you afraid of everything falling apart?

"But I’m just someone who doesn’t know how to consider the bigger picture." Yu Longting lowered his willow-like brows, looking very troubled.

I looked at Yu Longting with that trademark, infuriating expression of his.

Feeling utterly helpless, I decided to slack off, "Do whatever you want. I just don’t believe you’d joke about Dumpling’s future."

"Yes, that’s right. Trust me, your husband can handle it." Yu Longting pressed heavily on my back, not giving me the slightest chance to escape.

I was forced to rest on his shoulder, gritting my teeth in frustration.

Just wait a moment. When Qing Li gets angry and loses it, I’d like to see how you plan to handle it.

Lin Huan, holding Dumpling, said, "You two go inside. I won’t get involved."

"Yes, grandfather." Yu Longting slightly bowed to Lin Huan and went into the attic.

In the attic, Qing Li was staring blankly out the window.

Upon hearing footsteps, she didn’t turn around, "If you dislike me, then why bother coming?"

"I don’t dislike you; I’m just confused about why you don’t love your own child." At this moment, Yu Longting seemed to let go of all his glory and dignity, appearing just like an ordinary child who couldn’t get his mother’s love.

He lowered his eyes, quietly gazing at Qing Li’s back.

My face buried in Yu Longting’s neck, my heart tightened.

Gently, I kissed Yu Longting’s collarbone, not knowing what his childhood was like.

But I only want him to be happy, to heal the wounds of the past.

Under my gentle kiss, Yu Longting’s body slightly tensed; his long fingers gently brushed through my hair.

With simple and gentle body language, he told me about the calm state of his heart at this moment.

Qing Li slowly turned around, her glass-like eyes hollow and thin, "Why must people love their children? Just because the laws of nature make women, after giving birth, possess maternal instincts?"

"I understand. You only love Yu Qingxiao, so there’s no need for your attention to stay on us." Yu Longting knowingly lifted his lips.

Qing Li gathered herself and suddenly stood up.

Her thin, frail figure slowly approached, "But in recent years, my thoughts have changed somewhat."

Her enchanting almond eyes were gradually covered in a light mist.

No longer was she in a state of neither joy nor sadness, as she was earlier.

My heart stirred slightly, and I pinched Yu Longting. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

This time, Yu Longting finally let go of the force restraining me, and I leapt out of his embrace in one swift move.

Hiding behind him, I tried to make as much space as possible for the long-separated mother and son.

"Oh?" Even though Yu Longting allowed me to leave his arms, he still held my wrist tightly.

Perhaps to him, I was the last straw he could grasp.

The support for his stability.

He, like Qing Li, is not as strong as he appears!

A tear rolled slowly down Qing Li’s cheek, "Perhaps I’ve reincarnated too often, repeatedly becoming human and a woman again. It seems I’ve slowly developed this thing called maternal instinct, even though I find it quite redundant."

"Well, I don’t need motherly love anyway. From a young age, Yu Qingxiao fed me, carried me on travels, told me stories to coax me to sleep, and that was enough." Yu Longting’s eyes were mischievous and carried a mocking, half-smiling expression.

The tone was devoid of emotion, yet the smooth pad of his finger gently wiped away Qing Li’s tear at the corner of her eye.
