Chapter 248
Even Su Gou, who was sulking in the corner, stared dumbfounded.
So he was not the one who had gone insane.
The world had!
Ji Lin lowered his eyes to the Vampire on the floor.
He did not even know what to say.
His temples throbbed.
Ji Lin rubbed his brow, then turned toward Yun Youyou as if he wanted to speak.
His complicated feelings could not be expressed in a few words.
“I understand.”
Yun Youyou gently patted Ji Lin’s shoulder in comfort.
Ji Lin’s brows relaxed, and he was about to say something.
Yun Youyou’s gaze slid over his strong nose and thin, perfectly shaped lips.
This man truly was unfairly handsome.
She tilted her head forty-five degrees toward the sky.
“I once thought I was the heroine of a Mary Sue story. Turns out you’re the true Mary Sue everyone adores.”
Ji Lin’s head hurt even more.
“No. I don’t want to be any kind of Mary Sue.”
Even his frown looked so beautiful that one wanted to smooth the crease between his brows.
Yun Youyou admitted this man truly knew how to bewitch people.
“You may be an enchanting little minx, but I won’t fall under your spell!”
Righteous conviction filled Yun Youyou as she held her head high and thrust out her chest.
Five huge words were practically written across her face: I am a respectable woman.
She strode toward the dining room without looking back.
Behind her, the “little minx” watched helplessly.
The Vampire rose from the floor.
Instinctively, he started to follow Yun Youyou.
But he quickly remembered his task.
He looked between Ji Lin and Yun Youyou in distress, then chose to run after Yun Youyou anyway.
“Youyou.”
The Vampire trailed her like a little tail.
“Youyou, he and I are only acting. You’re the only one in my heart. You have to believe me.”
The Vampire spoke at lightning speed.
His face nearly scrunched into a bitter melon.
The moment the final word left his mouth, he reluctantly ran back to Ji Lin.
Yun Youyou did not get a chance to speak the entire time.
For some reason, she felt like the neglected wife.
The Vampire was the cheating scumbag, while Ji Lin was the seductive little minx outside their marriage.
She quickly shook her head, flinging the horrifying image from her mind.
In the corner, Su Gou finally finished sulking.
He emerged just in time to see the Vampire clinging to Ji Lin.
“What a poser.”
Su Gou scoffed, leaning against the wall with folded arms and a disdainful expression.
Ji Lin ignored him completely, not even sparing him a glance.
The Vampire looked expressionlessly at Su Gou.
This man was always hanging around Youyou too. Next time, he would find a chance to make Su Gou disappear from the Instance forever.
Su Gou’s disdain did not last long.
A maid passed with a tray.
The illusion activated again.
Ji Lin became Yun Youyou in his eyes once more.
Su Gou’s gaze unfocused, then sharpened again.
Seeing the Vampire clinging to “Yun Youyou,” he immediately charged over and tried to squeeze him aside.
The Vampire, shoved away by Su Gou’s hip: …
What was wrong with this man?
He had looked disdainful a moment ago. Now his eyes lit up like a dung beetle spotting a ball of manure.
Wait!
The Vampire seemed to realize something, and his gaze abruptly changed.
Could the Game have assigned this man the same task?
Was his reward the same too?
The Vampire immediately grew unhappy.
No one was allowed to steal his Youyou.
The human and ghost crowded together around Ji Lin.
Ji Lin: …
His face turned black.
Only one thought filled his mind: he wanted someone dead.
Not himself. He wanted to kill the human and ghost beside him.
While chaos raged outside, the dining room remained peaceful.
Fu Yiming was already seated.
Yun Youyou entered holding Lu Keke’s hand.
Doctor Lan followed close behind.
After a long while, Ji Lin and the others still had not appeared.
Fu Yiming sipped his tea and casually asked, “Where are they?”
Yun Youyou thought for a moment and gave the doorway a meaningful look.
“They might be fighting over one glance from Ji Lin.”
Fu Yiming nearly sprayed his tea.
“Cough, cough…”
He hurriedly swallowed it.
“Why?”
Yun Youyou said, “Because Ji Lin is an enchanting little minx.”
This time, Doctor Lan nearly choked on his own saliva.
In Yun Youyou’s mouth, the tall, elegant, aloof Ji Lin had become an “enchanting little minx.”
The image was too beautiful for Doctor Lan to imagine.
“You might be getting a daughter-in-law soon.”
Yun Youyou smiled mischievously at Fu Yiming.
Fu Yiming smiled back.
“Then you’ll become a mother-in-law.”
Both Doctor Lan and Fu Yiming assumed Yun Youyou was exaggerating.
Then the dining-room doors opened again.
At last, they realized she had not exaggerated at all.
Ji Lin entered with a cold expression.
His stern face practically screamed displeasure, as if someone owed him hundreds of millions.
The Vampire and Su Gou flanked him, surrounding Ji Lin like stars circling the moon.
Ji Lin stared straight ahead.
The moment he sat down, Su Gou and the Vampire seized the two seats beside him with lightning speed.
Ji Lin: …
Su Gou gazed lovingly at “Yun Youyou.”
Not to be outdone, the Vampire stared expressionlessly at Ji Lin.
Ji Lin: …
He wanted to hit a ghost and a human.
Irritably, he leaned back like a lion whose tail had been touched.
Fu Yiming took a small sip of tea, conveniently hiding the shock in his eyes.
Doctor Lan studied the scene without revealing his thoughts.
Across the table, Yun Youyou had already slipped into the role of evil mother-in-law.
“Well, well. You’ve bewitched both my sons. You really are something.”
Yun Youyou’s mocking tone actually eased some of Ji Lin’s irritation.
She could add a role for herself anytime, anywhere.
When Ji Lin suddenly laughed, Yun Youyou was baffled.
What was he laughing at?
Still, he looked gorgeous when he smiled.
Looks-obsessed Youyou went dazed for one second, then immediately recovered.
Form was emptiness, and emptiness was form.
Wine was the matchmaker of lust.
Plum blossoms gained their fragrance from the bitter cold.
Here we go, baby!
Yun Youyou’s thoughts scattered in every direction.
By the time she recovered, the maid had filled the dining table with food.
With the little minx Ji Lin present, the meal was destined to be anything but peaceful.
There was a plate of braised prawns on the table.
The studious Vampire remembered the book’s teachings.
When a woman acts coy, a man gives her his life.
Seduction Technique 168: At critical moments, learn to show weakness. Display your delicate side and give your partner’s masculine pride a chance to shine.
The Vampire put theory into practice.
He suddenly set down his chopsticks.
No one thought anything of it.
“I want some prawns.”
The Vampire stared unblinkingly at Ji Lin.
Ji Lin remained unmoved, his face as cold as ice.
The Vampire remained expressionless too.
