‘Young master, have you forgotten six years ago you were a stranger to Gun Gun too?’ Mrs Chen asked. ‘It didn’t take long for Gun Gun to become close to everyone, and the Hao Mansion became her home.’


  ‘It’s not the same situation,’ Hao Yan Che said. ‘She doesn’t listen to me anymore.’


  ‘Young master, if you want Gun Gun to feel close to you again then you need to give her time and be gentle toward her,’ Mrs Chen said. ‘Young master, you can’t stay angry like this unless you want her to be scared of you and see you as a stranger forever.’


  Hao Yan Che creased his brows.

  ‘Young master, don’t bully Gun Gun,’ Mrs Chen said. ‘She’s anxious right now because she lost her memory.’


  ‘Aunty Chen, do you think I mistreated Gun Gun in the past?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

  Mrs Chen didn’t answer, and Hao Yan Che stormed off. Mrs Chen shook her head. The little boy Hao Yan Che needed to learn how to be patient.

  At night, Yuan Gun Gun took a bath, laid in bed and stared at the wedding portrait. Did Hao Yan Che love her in the past? Did she love him? If they loved each other and had a happy marriage, why did she leave? She didn’t know if he loved her but looking at her younger self, she felt like she must have loved him deeply.

  ‘What are you thinking about?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

  Yuan Gun Gun was startled to see the groom from the wedding portrait appear in front of her.

  ‘Am I that scary?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

  Yuan Gun Gun sat up on the bed.

  ‘How did you come in here?’ Yuan Gun Gun asked. ‘Of course I’ll be scared if you suddenly appear out of nowhere.’


  Hao Yan Che sat on the bed next to Yuan Gun Gun.

  ‘Let’s talk,’ Hao Yan Che said.

  Yuan Gun Gun sat like a diligent student listening to her teacher’s lecture.

  ‘I’m half werewolf and half vampire,’ Hao Yan Che said. ‘I would have lived up to seven hundred years. But my father is the vampire king. His blood flows through my veins so I’ll live forever. I won’t age or die. You were born an ordinary person. But you’re my soulmate, my wife and my queen. My blood is in your body, you’ll live forever too. You won’t age or die either. Our rotten little demon son has my blood running through his veins. When he turns five, he’ll change into a werewolf for the first time. He needs me to stay by his side to watch over him while he transition into his werewolf form. Changing into a werewolf for the first time is painful, and the only time he could lose his life. My powers will save him if anything happens.’


  ‘Didn’t you say we can’t age or die?’ Yuan Gun Gun asked.

  ‘If our son lives past five years then he won’t age or die,’ Hao Yan Che said.

  ‘What do we do now?’ Yuan Gun Gun asked. ‘Will anything happen to Hao Hao?’


  ‘As long as our son stays by my side before he turns five, nothing will happen to him,’ Hao Yan Che said.

  Hao Yan Che was jealous Yuan Gun Gun was worried about someone else.

  ‘Lucky Hao Hao and I met you before Hao Hao turned five,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

  ‘Since I told you a secret, shouldn’t you tell me something too?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

  ‘What do you want to know?’ Yuan Gun Gun asked.

  ‘Will you answer honestly if I ask you?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

  ‘Yes,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

  ‘Did you and Na Liu Ting Du sleep on the same bed?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

  Yuan Gun Gun’s face turned red.

  ‘Yes or no?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

  ‘Yes,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

  ‘Were you intimate with him?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

  ‘No,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

  ‘Did he kiss your lips?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

  ‘You……’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

  ‘Yes or no?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

  Yuan Gun Gun avoided Hao Yan Che’s eyes.

  Hao Yan Che scoffed, and laid on the bed with his back facing Yuan Gun Gun.

  A while later Yuan Gun Gun poked Hao Yan Che’s shoulder.

  ‘Don’t sleep here,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘You should go to your room and sleep.’


  Hao Yan Che turned around, and looked coldly at Yuan Gun Gun.

  ‘This is my room,’ Hao Yan Che said.

  Hao Yan Che pulled the bedsheet over his body.

  ‘But you said this is my room,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

  Yuan Gun Gun pulled the bedsheet off Hao Yan Che’s body and covered her body.

  ‘We’re husband and wife,’ Hao Yan Che said. ‘Of course we share the same room. Pass me the bedsheet.’


  ‘No,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘I like this room. You should go sleep in a different room.’


  Hao Yan Che hugged Yuan Gun Gun from behind, and tickled her.

  ‘I’m sleeping here,’ Hao Yan Che said. ‘I like this room too.’


  ‘Hehe…… don’t…… I’m ticklish,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

  Hao Yan Che covered Yuan Gun Gun’s mouth.

  ‘If you cry out this loudly, you’ll wake up our rotten little demon son,’ Hao Yan Che said.
