Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 204: Compromises

Wei Jiayi always had the feeling that Gao Lan Mei's mother was a force to be reckoned with.

He wants to know more, but he was also aware that the rest of the keepers under him would not speak up. Keepers have a very strong blood connection. Even if one acknowledged a master, they would still favor the being from the same race above anyone else.

If punishment were necessary, five or more keepers administered it to their own, themselves. They would also never make an oath just to anyone. So when Li Mao swore in the name of her ancestors, he felt goosebumps and was left speechless. It was said so casually but the meaning behind it held a lot of weight.

"Whom your kind had served…" he silently repeated the words last spoken by his mother-in-law. Just thinking about it left a bitter taste in his mouth as his face suddenly hardened.

Dragons, the kind that was supposed to be extremely proud of their divine existence. However, he could not brag about it anymore, as his clan had betrayed everyone. Including him.

He glanced at Gao Lan Mei and his eyes softened. She was the reason for everything he currently had. It hurt that she didn't remember him since she was living a new life, but they could always make new memories.

Wei Jiayi arrived at their room. He scowled suddenly as the very potent smell of love toxin hit his nostrils. Aphrodisiac. Wei Jiayi was able to connect the dots without even asking for an explanation.

The reason why Ming Ya had been wearing the red dress that he had left for Gao Lan Mei and mercenaries that were still in the courtyard. He was now sure that all this was caused by that woman from the Ming family.

He had always considered it a waste of time, but due to recent events, it seemed he should do something about this. He should have killed Ming Ya a long time ago. There was no medicine for regret, though.

Good thing, the Ming girl was now dead. He never liked women, aside from Gao Lan Mei. He had always avoided interacting with one. Sadly, he now needed to tolerate his mother-in-law. Ah, the female guards as well.

The small families that he had ignored had caused Gao Lan Mei trouble. Though his wife was trouble herself, she was his trouble. He was also aware that she would never act first against anyone. As a doctor, it was against her principles. With the incident earlier, he had also learnt that she was playful and greedy by nature.

Impurities are the main sickness in all cultivators, it would bring out your most hidden sins and irrational nature until you couldn't go back. It would officially consume your heart as well.josei

He finally released a deep breath, as Gao Lan Mei actually scared the hell out of him earlier. Wei Jiayi immediately shook his head to fight the very small amount of love toxic that he had inhaled and left the room in a hurry. He then moved to another room and placed Gao Lan Mei on the bed.

"I have already made a lot of compromises. How do you plan to repay me huh?" Wei Jiayi spoke to the sleeping Gao Lan Mei. He gently picked up her hands and brought them to his cheeks. "Mei Mei... Can you please stop punishing me like this? I do not know if I can endure it any longer..." 

"Shadow." Wei Jiayi suddenly called out, his face still in Gao Lan Mei's palms
