The Psychopath's Harem

Chapter 96 Husband Or Son?

?"...Did she force you?"

Long Wanhui asked and turned silent.

Her eyes peered at him for an answer, and Xia Tian's lips curved up. 'Should I say she forced me?'

He was considering what she will do if he said that.

Will she go and confront Xia Shuiyao?

At that moment, even Xia Shuiyao's face would be worth watching...

Several ideas came to his mind at one, he found this choice quite funny.

[Master, you aren't considering of saying yes, right?]

Luo Xue asked with a dubious voice

The fairy mind was just working at the speed of light, considering all Xia Tian's earlier actions and smile right now, she felt a certain cold woman was going to suffer.

However, Xia Tian right now was more interested in seeing his mother's embarrassed face than one of Xia Shuiyao's.

The cold woman can come later, not like she has a choice facing him.

As for their consent, or choices... He doesn't care.

If he wants something, he does that...

Why ask another person?

Long Wanhui got flustered, she asked on a whim but now seeing his silence, she assumed that it was indeed the case.

Her expression changed, and she stared at him seriously.

Xia Tian chuckled seeing her serious eyes on him, he would rather not tell her this, the cold woman can deal with this by herself.

Long Wanhui got ever more confused since he started laughing all of a sudden.

'What is going on with him?'

Much to her surprise, a hand was suddenly placed on her cheeks, which took the woman by surprise.

"Mother," Xia Tian called out.

Hearing his voice, Long Wanhui looked down with a loving look on her face, she put one hand above his hand.

Xia Tian sighed inwardly, although her hand was neither as soft as an immortal nor white as Xia Shuiyao, she was still a top-level beauty, and the fact that he was his mother was icing over the cake.

He kept his hand steady on her face, and at the same time closed his eyes and spoke.

"Does it hurt?" he softly asked.

Long Wanhui did not understand his words, why would it hurt, she tilted her head with a confused look.

"Tian'er why would it hurt me?"

She asked, but Xia Tian only smiled and questioned again.

"Oh, it doesn't then, what about when the father touches you?"

!!

This time, she stiffened.

Her eye shook heavily, and her breathing got disorganized.

If Xia Tian wasn't laying on her lap, she would probably stand up in shock.

Xia Tian was casually smiling with his eyes closed, so she was unable to discern anything from his face.

He did it on purpose, whenever you confront a person who is close to you, like your wife, girlfriend, etc, if you just close your eyes and casually say the facts without any ripples in your voice, then it will create an unseen pressure on them.

They will fear your voice, they will unable to refute it, and they will assume that you already know everything.

In most cases, they will go silent.

At the time, you can sneakily open your eyes and take a quick peek at their face, to see what expression they are making.

Normally, the next person will either shout or not show expressions on his face, but since the person confronting him has his eyes closed, then she will also not care about what expressions are reflecting over her face.

Her expression will sell her out.

You can guess someone's thoughts by their expression, as they are nothing but the result of their emotions.

This works well against a person, who hides their expressions very well.

They won't hide if they know you aren't looking.

As for Xia Tian, he doesn't even need to open his eyes to see what expression Long Wanhui was making right now.

She was definitely staring at him with wide eyes.

Astonishment was written all over her face.

Xia Tian's smile turns wider.

"H-How do you know?" finally asked, Long Wanhui with a pale face.

She was afraid of being judged by him.

She is a good mother and wife, she never cheated on her husband or even thought about it.

But now her son was doubting it, which made the woman unable to react.

"Oh, don't worry. It isn't a curse."

Xia Tian answered much to the relief of her.

Long Wanhui, "It isn't?"

"No, it's not a curse."

Long Wanhui sensed strange confidence in his voice, she calmed down.

Though, she still wanted to know more.

How does he know about her curse?

Why does it now work on him?

And if it isn't a curse ... What is it? A disease?

She had already tried all types of medicines, but nothing worked so she was sure that it wasn't a disease.

The more she thought, the more conflicted she became.

Long Wanhui was looking at the wrong person for the answer, Xia Tian was never the person to talk directly.

"Hey, mother! I heard that you love father and even left your family for it, was it true?"

He asked and opened his eyes.

Long Wanhui was caught off-guard, as he changed the topic all of a sudden.

"O-Oh, yes." She replied nonetheless.

She can't help but feel embarrassed talking about it, at the time she was still too immature.

It was good that the Long family decided to support her, rather than disown her, or else the problem would be really big.

Xia Tian did not care about her love story, he was rather interested in something else.

"Do you still love him?"

He asked with a strange smile, that was getting wider with time.

The innocent Long Wanhui looked around briefly and softly nodded.

She can't understand why Xia Tian was asking strange questions to her.

She felt it was related to the curse, which made her slightly nervous.

"Oh, are you sure," asked, Xia Tian with a smile.

Seeing his face, Long Wanhui felt skeptical, she nodded once again, which made the old fox even more satisfied.

"Then you will never betray him for any other man?"

"No," She refused him with a resolute look, completely unaware of what was coming next.

"Oh," Xia Tian nodded and spoke. "What about me then?"

!!

Her hands trembled above Xia Tian's, "T-Tian what do you mean by it?"

She asked with a bitter look.

Xia Tian was getting more and more brave.

"I meant what I said, whom will you choose between me and fathe-"

His words shocked her to the core, she instantly placed her other hand above his mouth. "Tian, I don't like this joke, please don't say anything else. You should rest, your mind is not working properly."

Xia Tian calmly removed her hand and smiled gently.

This is what he wanted!

Her belief!

Her belief wasn't complex as Xia Shuiyao or Ye Suyin.

It was quite simple.

She loved Xia Leng and believed that she will never change her mind about it or betray him.

It can be said, it wasn't just Long Wanhui's belief but many other women and men had a similar belief.

Xia Tian loves crushing this belief of theirs...

In Long Wanhui's case, it was even more enjoyable!

Because she was his mother!

Who will she choose if given an option to only let one of them live?

What if both Xia Leng and he wants to kill each other?

Who will she choose between them?

Was her belief really absolute?

Loving someone eternally?

There is no absolute belief in this world, and she wasn't an exception to it...

Long Wanhui had only spent a few hundred years with him, so how can she guarantee if a better man comes into her life, her heart won't be swayed?

It is like, she is walking on one path and judging another path, despite knowing nothing about it.

For judging it, she had to first walk on it.

She is behaving like those school children.

The same school children, who rant, that school is worst!

But right after they get to college, they rant college is worst!

And once they leave the college and get a 9-5 job, they will rant, the job is worst!

Some people go to school and make friends.

And their entire life they keep saying school life was the best, I made the best friends of my life there. It couldn't be any better. Those were the best memories of my life.

They provide their judgment by just walking on a single road and completely ignoring the other.

Was that the best they can get?

Let's assume, they don't go to school.

Then what will happen?

Will all people disappear from the world?

No, they will still remain.

They will still make friends.

Who knows, how those friends are ...

Maybe they are not as good as those school friends or maybe better... Who knows?

One never knows what lies ahead, until he walks on that path.

But ignorantly judging things is a sign of immaturity.

Will they won't have good memories if they don't go to school?

Who knows?

What if they end up with even better memories?

School is nothing but a place where children of the same age group collectively gather, but even if they don't it doesn't mean they will disappear from this world, you can still befriend them by going to their homes, playing along with them, etc.

So why pass judgment like idiots?

Why say things like, 'My school life was best, those friends and memories were best, I can't have anything better than that...'

Just like that many people say, their friends are loyal, they will never betray them.

Hmm, let us ask the same thing to their friend while pointing a gun at his wife, children, and parent's head... Will he still not betray him?

Many women and men say they love their partner the most in this world.

But is it really like that?

Even if don't go to the controversial part, and assume they actually love each other, and in near future, they have some good, small, and nice children.

So what?

Will they still say, they love each other the most ....

Most of them will change their answer...

They will now, choose their children over and above their partner...

Even if a calamity strikes, they will choose their children's protection over their partner...

This is why Xia Tian was enjoying this moment.

If any other man said that, he would probably be punished to death by Long Wanhui.

But what about him?

Does she have the heart to punish him for it?

Her belief of loving her husband... Will it hold?

Will it be able to hold against Xia Tian?

What will she choose?

Her husband ... Or him?
