Chapter 243 Fateful but Unfulfilled (Part 1)

So what? Your daddy can't possibly dump all the kittens that the big black cat gave birth to on you, can he?

I think that's possible, since my dad values ​​this big black cat more than me. If it weren't for the fact that it's recently pregnant with kittens and has a bad temper, he would definitely have left the big black cat with me.

After saying this, Xia Rong listlessly slumped onto the table. Seeing this, Mu Long immediately went behind Xia Rong and put his hands on her shoulders to massage her.

What? Don't you love playing with kittens that are only a month old? You're going to have a whole litter of kittens, and I see why you're not happy at all?

After I gave you those two adorable kittens, did you no longer want any other kittens?

It seems that I, Young Master Mulong, hold a rather high position in Rong'er's heart?

Mu Long

Ok?

Since you were born, has your Yang family ever purchased any more lard?

Mu Long frowned upon hearing Xia Rong's words.

How would I know if the Yang family had purchased lard if I hadn't managed the household affairs? My elder brother was the one who managed the Yang family affairs before.

Haha! Didn't you tell me that your elder brother left the Yang family many years ago?

The responsibility of managing the family business naturally fell on your shoulders.

I've entrusted this heavy responsibility to Master Fu, whom I trust the most! That's why I have so much time to spend with you!

Yang Mulong, sometimes I really don't know what to say to you?

You actually entrusted such an important task as managing the Yang family mansion to an outsider just so you could spend more time with me.

Hehe! Rong'er, will you be very touched when you hear this news? Will you want to marry me right away?

No way! I would never marry someone like you who's so prone to acting on impulse! Besides, what would your parents think of me if they found out about this?

Oh dear! As long as I, Mu Long, approve of you and like you, that's enough. Why should I care what my father and mother think of you?

Hmph! Mu Long, sometimes I really think your head is a blockhead. I've already made myself so clear, how come you still don't understand my feelings?

Upon hearing Xia Rong's insults, Mu Long excitedly pulled her into his arms.

Rong'er! Rong'er! Are you telling the truth? Are you really determined to become my wife, Mu Long's wife?

Xia Rong glanced casually at the little Furong lying in her arms.

Hmm! As for this question? I've already thought about it, but after hearing what you just said, I feel I need to consider it more carefully.

Should I marry you, Yang Mulong? Because I really don't want to become that bewitching concubine everyone talks about! Someone who only bewitches the emperor all day long, making him obsessed with her beauty.

Such a woman, who neglects national affairs, is truly guilty! You know what? I despise women like that the most. How could I become someone I myself despise?

Meow! Meow! Meow!

Hei Niu, lying in Xia Rong's arms, sensed that Xia Rong was in a very low mood, so she got up and gently hooked her little hand around Xia Rong's neck.

Emperor Xia was very surprised to see this, because he had raised Hei Niu for ten years and had never seen Hei Niu hug his neck tightly with her little chubby hands.

Haha! So, Miss Xia, we've been enemies since we were little, so how can you say that we're in love?

But Mulong, have you already forgotten? Just a few months ago, you personally brought those two little kittens, Xiao Furong and Longlong, to me.

These two kittens, barely a month old, are our token of love! As long as they stay safely by our side, our deep affection will continue!

You were the one who proposed this agreement to me! Sometimes I just can't understand why you would propose such a strange agreement to me.

But now I understand! It means that you never loved me from the very beginning.

The reason you made this promise to me is because you know I really dislike kittens and would never be able to keep a kitten with me forever.

Perhaps we lost our love token cat somewhere you can't see it, but to your disappointment, I haven't done that so far.

Yes! How could I not know how much you love me? It's just that the environment I grew up in made me someone who doesn't know how to love someone.

I also carry our love-destined cat with me everywhere! Just like you like to carry your little hibiscus with you all the time.

Speaking of Little Hibiscus, I haven't seen it for five or six days! The little guy must have gotten quite chubby again, right? Takitaki isn't as plump as Little Hibiscus.

Haha! I don't even know if the little guy has gained weight recently! Since I've made up my mind to separate from you, of course I can give the little guy to someone else!

When Xia Rong heard Mu Long say those words, she subconsciously covered her heart with her hands and slowly squatted down.

pat!pat!

Xia Rong could no longer bear Mu Long's ruthlessness towards her, and squatted on the floor, silently shedding tears.

During this period, Xia Rong suffered from insomnia, vivid dreams, and depression. She had to drink a bowl of calming soup before bed every night in order to fall asleep.

Although I have successfully fallen asleep, I am always awakened by some terrible nightmares in the middle of the night.

Once awake, I couldn't fall back asleep, so I just held my little kitten named Taki and leaned against the headboard to rest with my eyes closed.

When Peach saw that the once playful and lovely young lady had become so haggard, she went to the Xia residence alone and told Emperor Xia about Xia Rong's recent condition in detail.

Upon learning of this, Emperor Xia immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed to Xia Rong's cottage.

When he arrived at Xia Rong's cottage, he saw Xia Rong sitting listlessly on the swing. In her arms was the cat that she and Mu Long had pledged their love to each other.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Xia felt extremely distressed, because he was in the same state when he learned that the woman he loved had passed away.

At that time, I smashed everything I could and kept beating and scolding the servants in the Xia household. It was a way to vent all the sadness in my heart.

Xia Rong, however, could not do that and could only silently keep her longing for Mu Long to herself.

When Emperor Xia saw his precious daughter in this state, his first reaction was to go and settle accounts with that brat Mu Long.

But after calming down and reflecting on how their relationship had turned out this way, wasn't it all his own doing?
