I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 193: Meeting the parents (4)

After we came in, Long Shui Ling ran over to the two couples with a wide smile on her face.

It was only when they saw her that their expressions melted and they all revealed smiles.

They talked for a bit about nothing in particular.

But judging by the way that they spoke, it was clear that they were very close.

That just made things worse for me.

They were this close…if they heard the rumours, there was no doubt that they wouldn't forgive me…

After a while, they finished talking and they turned their attention back to me.

The moment that they turned back to me, they looked at me with the same looks as before.

No, it was a bit worse than before.

They were glaring at me with clear hostility now since they could hear the happiness that had been in Long Shui Ling's voice. It was clear that her father and grandfather were clearly jealous.

But to my surprise, the two women had approving looks on their faces.

What did that mean?

Long Shui Ling came over to take my hand which made me tremble since the moment that she took my hand, I felt the pressure coming from those two pairs of eyes.

She didn't mind it as she led me in front of them and said, "This is Lin Fan, he's the one I told you about."

There was a silence that followed after she said this.

Both Long Shui Ling and I were just waiting for their response now.

By all rights, I should have said something, but I had no idea what to say. After all, I had no idea what Long Shui Ling had told them about me, so I needed to gauge their reaction first before saying anything.

After a moment of silence, Long Shui Ling's father said, "So, this is the boy that we've heard so much about."

When he said this, it was clear that he was stressing the word 'boy'.

Long Shui Ling's grandfather gave a nod before saying, "So this is the famous boy that saved you during the exam."

The two of them made sure to stress that I was just a 'boy', as well as trying to make it sound like the relationship between us was as distant as possible.

Long Shui Ling couldn't help revealing a displeased look when she heard this.

But it was her mother who said, "Now, now, you two, stop antagonizing him. If you keep acting this way, you can only blame yourselves if Ling Ling hates you."

Both of them revealed distraught looks when they heard this, as if this thought terrified them. Then they revealed proper looks and pulled back the hostility in their eyes, but I could still feel the hostility pointed at me.

Since Long Shui Ling's mother had mediated, that gave me the perfect chance to introduce myself.

I took a step forward and gave a slight bow before saying, "Hello, my name is Lin Fan. It is an honour to meet you."

I couldn't help peeking up slightly while I greeted them.

I could see that her mother and grandmother were pleased seeing me act this way, but her father and grandfather had visible ugly looks on their faces.

It was clear that they didn't approve of me.

But then again, with how they had acted, it didn't seem like they would approve of me no matter how I acted.

As for Long Shui Ling, she was looking at me with what seemed to be heart eyes.

She had been completely slain by the appearance that I had when I introduced myself.

It seemed that my suggestion might have been a bit too effective…

She wouldn't be any help to me like this.

While the father and grandfather looked like they wanted to cut me down on the spot, the mother and grandmother slapped the two of them on the back of the head.

Both of them turned around with confused looks, but then they had looks of despair as the two of them whispered something to them.

They peeked at Long Shui Ling who was completely ignoring them.

It almost seemed like a tear was coming out of the corner of their eyes when they saw her ignore them like this.

They wanted to get angry with me, but they held back in the end as they seemed to remember something.

When the two of them settled down, Long Shui Ling's mother asked, "Then Lin Fan, how about you tell us what happened between you and my daughter. I've heard plenty from her, but I want to hear it from your perspective."

When Long Shui Ling's father and grandfather heard this, they once again started glaring at me.

I just revealed an awkward smile, but I still obliged.

Before I started, Long Shui Ling's mother called me over to sit down in front of them.

Long Shui Ling took advantage of this to sit down beside me.

If it was normal, she might have gone to hold my arm, but she held herself back since we were in front of her parents and grandparents.

But she did move closer to me in the end.

I just calmly told them the story that I had already prepared.

They silently listened as I told them the story without changing their expressions once.

It was as if they didn't have any reactions to hearing this story at all.

When I reached the part of the hotel though…

"Hmm, that doesn't seem right. That's not what Ling Ling told us." Long Shui Ling's mother suddenly said.

I couldn't help jolting when I heard this.

After all, the part that she was calling out was me saying that we had gone to our separate floors.

Long Shui Ling's father seized this chance to jump in by saying, "That's right, that's right. I've also heard from others that you two went to the same floor."

Long Shui Ling's grandfather then added, "That's right! What are you hiding from us?"
