Chapter 841: Straightforward Man

It was said that perfume was the last ornament one wore. It could not be seen, but it could be smelled.

One had to use a type of perfume for a long time. When the person beside you smelled a familiar scent and they would think of you, that was a form of success. As for Zhuang Long, every time he smelled this scent on her, he found it difficult to control himself. He held Xiao Li in his arms and said, “Don’t tell me I’m a perfume addict?”

Xiao Li suggested, “Perhaps you can find another woman and let her try wearing this perfume?”

Xiao Li said this with a smile, but Zhuang Long quickly shook his head.

“I don’t want anyone.” He kissed her lips and said, “Just you.”

Xiao Li had thought that they would be happier than immortals tonight. In the end, Zhuang Long only hugged her and slept soundly.

Xiao Li was extremely disappointed. She felt that her charm was not enough. Just as she was feeling dejected, the man hugging her suddenly asked, “Julia left the Lawson family for a new life. What about you?”

Xiao Li closed his eyes.

In the end, he still remembered.

Her silence pained Zhuang Long greatly.

“When did this happen?” When he thought of how Xiao Li had also changed her blood, Zhuang Long felt a lingering fear.

Xiao Li thought for a moment and finally told the truth. “Not long after we had Qilin.”

Zhuang Long suddenly tightened his grip and pulled Xiao Li into his embrace.

The fact that the Qilin could still survive at that time was truly a gift from the heavens.

His voice was muffled. “At that time, did you know that you were pregnant?”

“I didn’t know.” If she did, she wouldn’t have dared to act so rashly.

Zhuang Long said nothing, but hugged her tighter.

He was sorry that he had forgotten about her when she needed him the most. When they met again, he even mocked and ignored her.

He deserved to die.

Xiao Li suddenly said, “I named my child Qilin because I had just separated from the Lawson family and started my own business. It wasn’t easy for me either. You’re a dragon, right? I heard that in Eastern myths, dragons symbolize power and nobility, as well as courage. I want to give our child a name from the myths as well. Qilin is an auspicious beast in Eastern Chinese mythology. The books say that wherever a Qilin goes, there will be auspicious signs.”

“He was born into our family. I hope that your schizophrenia will recover and that my business will be successful. Of course, I hope that we can really get together.”

She moved her body and smiled. She sighed. “He’s indeed a Qilin.”

Everything she had hoped for had come true.

Now, she was lying on the bed with Zhuang Long hugging her. Outside the window, the night was enchanting. The moonlight was bright, and the summer flowers were quietly blooming. For this moment, all the grievances and sorrow they had suffered in the past were not worth making a fuss about.

Touched by the scene, Xiao Li snuggled into Zhuang Long’s arms and sighed. “I love you.”

When Zhuang Long heard this, he let go of her and turned around to lie on top of Xiao Li.

The bed was so big and the mattress was so soft, but he leaned over her and fell asleep.

Xiao Li touched Zhuang Long’s hair. At this moment, she wanted to cry, but she also wanted to laugh.

After Zhuang Long fell asleep, Xiao Li fell asleep as well. In the middle of the night, she kept feeling as if there was a huge rock pressing down on her chest, and she kept having nightmares. She was woken up by the dream, and she forgot what the dream was about. Instead, she saw the big black head on her chest.

Xiao Li gently pushed Zhuang Long away. She wanted to sleep again, but she could not.

She simply opened her Instagram page.

Among the first few comments with the most likes, there was always one anti-fan whose tone was sour.

If she posted a revealing photo, the idiot fan called B, SB, would leave a message saying, “Who doesn’t have a chest and a butt? What’s there to expose? Who cares!”

Then, her loyal fans would chase after the anti-fan and scold him under his anti-fan comment.

If she posted something ambiguous, especially when Bruce was mentioned, this person’s message would be even more disdainful. “Don’t you think your eyelids are a little heavy? I suggest you go wash up. You’ll realize that your eyes are covered in shit. After you’ve washed up, take a good look at the man you’ve chosen.”

After B,SB sent this comment, he was successfully scolded badly by Bruce’s fans and Xiao Li’s fans.

Such a situation was under every one of her posts.

Xiao Li was not stupid. She had long gotten someone to investigate this person’s ID. After discovering that it was Zhuang Long, watching her fans scold him every day had already become Xiao Li’s daily routine.

She flipped through several pages. Under each page was Zhuang Long’s comment.

Xiao Li didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She was getting a little tired from reading and felt as if she was about to fall asleep. Only then did he type a new update and click send—

Xiao Li: I’ve decided to become a fan. @B, SB.

Xiao Li even attached a photo. It was a photo of Zhuang Long’s side profile after he fell asleep.

The next day, Xiao Li woke up and found that Zhuang Long had already woken up. She washed her face, applied some skincare products, and began to put on makeup. Zhuang Long came upstairs and saw her sitting in front of the mirror. He walked over and took a few glances. He saw Xiao Li holding a brush and applying a layer of powder on her face. He asked, “What is this for?”

“Cover up.”

“Your skin is very good. There are no flaws.” Zhuang Long felt that Xiao Li was making an unnecessary move.

Xiao Li said, “I have some dark circles under my eyes.” She had been busy recently, and it was common for her to sleep late. No matter how expensive the eye cream was, it could no longer hide her dark circles.

Zhuang Long nodded and leaned against the counter, staring at Xiao Li’s makeup.

Xiao Li put on her eye shadow, drew the eyeliner on her eyes, and began to draw the silkworms.

Zhuang Long saw that she had applied a layer of light brown eye shadow under her eyes. He stared at her movements in confusion and asked, “What is this for?”

Xiao Li said, “Drawing silkworms.”

“I’m going to draw a silkworm.”

“I see.”

Zhuang Long frowned. He said, “Then why did you cover your eyes previously? You covered your dark circles, and now you’ve applied a layer of black eye shadow. Isn’t that unnecessary?”

Xiao Li was startled.

After careful thought, Xiao Li realized that Zhuang Long’s words made sense. She was momentarily speechless.

Xiao Li could not explain the straightforward man’s thoughts.

However, Zhuang Long did not say anything else. When Xiao Li was applying blush to her face, Zhuang Long said, “I know what this is for. As for blush, I know how to do it. I’ll do it for you.” With that, Zhuang Long took some powder from the blush box and applied it to Xiao Li’s cheek.

He had applied too much powder. He brushed it away with a brush but it looked like a monkey’s butt.

Zhuang Long knew that he had done something bad. He hurriedly threw down the brush and said, “I’ll go see if the cod porridge is ready. Continue putting on makeup.” With that, he slipped away.

Xiao Li stared at her monkey-like butt-like face in the mirror and fell into deep thought.

What could she do with a lover who was so wretched?

Xiao Li put on her makeup again and went downstairs with her phone. As she walked, she played with her phone. Then, she realized that after the post from last night, there were more than a hundred thousand comments.
