When Beauty Meets Beasts

684 I Like You! I Like You Very Much!

Along the way, Huanhuan explained herself to Yun Hui, but he just remained silent.

He was obviously angry, but he wouldn’t vent his temper. He just held it in and sulked.

After returning home, Yun Hui returned to his room alone. Huanhuan wanted to follow him, but he slammed the door shut and isolated her outside.

Yun Hui leaned against the door and lowered his head in silence.

!!

Huanhuan stood outside the room and sighed helplessly. “Just say what you have to say. Don’t keep it to yourself.”

Yun Hui’s voice sounded especially muffled through the door.

“I’m not happy.”

Huanhuan nodded. “Yes, anyone with eyes can tell you’re unhappy.”

“That guy isn’t good enough for you.”

Although he did not name anyone, Huanhuan knew that he was talking about Ah Gui.

She said seriously, “I don’t like him. I won’t agree to his marriage proposal.”

“Then do you like me?” Yun Hui asked.

“I do! I like you very much!”

Huanhuan admitted it especially readily.

However, Yun Hui did not feel very happy.

He knew the fondness she spoke of was different from the fondness he wanted.

He asked in a muffled voice, “If I had knelt on the ground and asked you to marry me just now, would you have agreed?”

Huanhuan was stumped.

If Yun Hui had proposed just now, she would definitely not have agreed.

However, her rationality told her that if she told the truth now, Yun Hui would definitely be so angry that he wouldn’t even eat dinner.

Huanhuan thought about it carefully for a long time before saying carefully, “You’re still young. It’s not time for you to find a mate yet. You don’t have to think about such nonsense.”

“I’m an adult.”

“Is that considered adulthood? You were forced to grow up early because you accepted the inheritance of the dragon race. It’s like raising pigs and using special methods to accelerate their maturity. But in fact, you’re still a three-year-old child. No matter how wild I am, I can’t do anything to a three-year-old child!”

Yun Hui became even angrier. “Who are you calling a pig?”

Huanhuan touched her nose. “Ahem, I was just making an analogy. I didn’t mean to call you a pig.”

The door was opened, revealing Yun Hui’s tall figure. He looked down at the little female standing in front of him and said seriously and firmly, “I’m an adult. I have the right to pursue a mate. I want to propose to you openly like that guy.”

Huanhuan felt that he was like a child who wanted to eat candy but couldn’t. The more she didn’t give him candy, the more he wanted it.

She asked helplessly, “Do you know what it means to propose? Do you know what true love is?”

Yun Hui stopped talking.

“I don’t doubt that you like me, but being mates isn’t something that can be maintained just by liking me. It requires a lot of love and patience. You’re still young and have experienced very little. In your eyes, I might be more like an elder or a playmate. I can understand that you trust me, rely on me, and want to be with me forever, but this isn’t love. You don’t love me either. We can’t be mates.”

With that, Huanhuan turned around.

When she reached the stairs, she heard Yun Hui’s voice behind her.

“In order to find you, I followed Xue Ling and the others from the beast continent to the dawn continent. In order to protect you, I willingly drank the drug that made me someone else’s puppet. In order to follow you, I gave up the chance to live among my own kind and returned to the beast continent with you… If this can’t be called love, then tell me, what is love?”

Huanhuan stopped.

She turned and saw that Yun Hui had returned to the bedroom. The door was closed again.

This time, he was really angry.

When Shuang Yin returned home today, she realized that the atmosphere at home had become strange again.

She thought that her mother and Eggy had quarreled again, but she saw that Eggy was still flying around her mother. She showed no signs of throwing a tantrum.

Shuang Yin was a little surprised.

Huanhuan brought the food to the table. “Wash your hands and eat.”

Shuang Yin washed her hands and sat down at the table. When she saw that her mother and Eggy were ready to eat, she couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t we going to wait for Uncle Yun Hui?”

She was acutely aware that her mother had paused for a moment when she heard the words ‘Yun Hui’.

Huanhuan tried to look natural. “He’s in a bad mood today and doesn’t want to come down and eat with us. I’ve already saved some food for him and placed it in the kitchen. After you finish eating, bring those dishes upstairs to him.”

“Oh.”

Shuang Yin was sure that her mother must have had a conflict with Yun Hui.

She looked at Eggy, wanting to get some information from her.

Before she could speak, Huanhuan knocked on the table. “Focus on eating and don’t talk nonsense.”

His two daughters had no choice but to shut up and eat obediently.

After dinner, Huanhuan went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. Shuang Yin carried the food upstairs and knocked on the door. “Uncle Yun Hui.”

No one responded.

Was he asleep and didn’t hear her?

Shuang Yin was puzzled. She tried to knock twice before opening the door, but the room was empty.

Yun Hui was not in the room.

Where did he go?

...

Shuang Yin was very surprised. She entered the house and searched, but she couldn’t find any clues. Then, she quickly went downstairs and ran into the kitchen. She said to Huanhuan, “Mom, Uncle Yun Hui is missing.”

Huanhuan stopped what she was doing. “Huh?”

“I couldn’t find him in the room. I wonder where he went.”

Huanhuan immediately wiped her hands and personally went upstairs to search all the rooms. She still could not find Yun Hui.

It was strange. Yun Hui was still at home in the afternoon. She had only gone to the kitchen to make a meal. Why was he nowhere to be seen now?

Just as she was puzzled, Eggy spoke.

“When Mom was cooking in the afternoon, I saw Knuckle Yun Hui go out.”

Huanhuan quickly asked, “Is that so? Why didn’t you remind me at that time?”

Eggy felt a little wronged. “Knuckle Yun Hui told me not to tell you.”

“Do you know where he went, then?”

Eggy shook her head. “I wunno.”

...

Seeing her mother’s uneasy expression, Shuang Yin quickly comforted her. “Uncle Yun Hui is an adult, and he’s powerful. He might just be going out to relax. He’ll be fine. Don’t worry too much.”

Normally, Huanhuan would not be worried about Yun Hui being in danger when he went out.

But today was different.

She remembered what Yun Hui had said before. He must be in a bad mood.

He was not good at expressing himself and would only keep his thoughts to himself.

It would be bad if he didn’t think it through and did something rash!

Huanhuan fidgeted. “We have to get him back.”
