Chapter 14 Deciding to take care of you and the baby in the future

“Elder, I’ll see you off.” Jun Yue Lan was about to get up, when Elder Xingyu reached out to stop him. “No need, I can go by myself, you young people chat for a while.” “Elder, I’ll see you off.” Xiao Jie, who had been hiding behind Jun Yue Lan, came out and circled Elder Xingyu. “Okay.” Elder Xingyu didn’t refuse, he left with Xiao Jie. After they were out of sight, Jiang Li just breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a pair of cool, white arms gently embraced her.

This action startled Jiang Li, her heart was beating wildly. “You… you…” She widened her eyes, her nervous and shy brain went blank, she couldn’t even speak properly. Jun Yue Lan rested his chin on her shoulder, his cool breath evenly exhaled onto her neck, making her feel a tingling sensation. He didn’t care about Jiang Li’s fright, instead, he curled his lips, his smile couldn’t be hidden from his eyes. “It’s great that you’re okay, I was really scared just now.

” He had finally met a female he liked, and he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear from his sight. Jun Yue Lan’s voice was gentle, his tone was also very gentle, slowly melting her heart. She dropped her frightened expression, her face also softened. “Jun Yue Lan, thank you.” A thousand words could only be condensed into these six words. “I should be thanking you.” “Hmm?” Jiang Li didn’t understand what he meant.

Jun Yue Lan slowly loosened his arms, gently cupping Jiang Li’s white face with both hands. He slowly retracted his claws, afraid of hurting Jiang Li. “I’ve made up my mind, I’m going to take care of you and the baby!” “Ah?” Jiang Li’s mind went blank, she thought Jun Yue Lan was just joking with her, after all, they had only just met. But seeing his clear, sea-like eyes filled with sincerity and passion, she felt that he wasn’t joking.

But why? They had only just met, why was he so good to her? Was there a purpose? Jiang Li didn’t want to think badly of people, but what he said did make her feel scared. She really didn’t believe that someone would be wholeheartedly good to her without a purpose. Especially since he wasn’t a human, he was a fish. Seeing the distrust in Jiang Li’s eyes, Jun Yue Lan didn’t get angry, he didn’t throw a tantrum, instead, he explained to her seriously.

“You probably don’t know, we merfolk don’t have a distinction between genders at first, we only develop a gender when we meet someone we like.” Hearing this, Jiang Li’s heart sank slightly. The eyes that met hers became even more passionate. “Until I met you, who fell into the Sana River, I transformed into a male.” Jiang Li’s breath hitched; her pupils contracted sharply.

 “So I’ve decided, I’m going to stay by your side and take good care of you and the child in your belly.” Although he said this, he was thinking in his heart, it doesn’t matter if this child is mine or not, I’ll just have a bunch of merfolk babies with her after she gives birth, hehe… Jiang Li really couldn’t believe her ears, she didn’t expect that the scenes she had seen in TV dramas would actually happen to her? But reason prevailed over emotion, Jiang Li quickly jumped out of this “pie”.

“I don’t want to!” She had to be clear-headed; she couldn’t be seduced by beauty! She still had to go back to land and settle the score with Yan He, she couldn’t stay at the bottom of the river forever. This cold and decisive refusal directly hurt Jun Yue Lan’s heart, he froze on the spot, shattered into pieces. He didn’t expect his sincere confession to be rejected. “You don’t… want to stay by my side?” Jun Yue Lan pursed his lips, hesitating for a long time before uttering these words.

Although the answer was cruel to Jun Yue Lan, Jiang Li still hesitated and said, “I’m sorry, I still want to go back to land…” Before Jiang Li could finish her sentence, she saw Jun Yue Lan fall to the ground and start rolling. “No, no. I want you to stay by my side forever…” This operation made Jiang Li’s words choke back in her throat.

Looking at the childish Jun Yue Lan, Jiang Li was really helpless. “Sister. Can you not abandon me.” Jun Yue Lan came closer, his hands tightly grasping Jiang Li’s small hand, his tear-filled eyes looked at her pitifully. “Ah? Sister?” Jiang Li was stunned by this sudden address. Jun Yue Lan sniffed hard, he said in a pitiful tone, “We merfolk only love one person in our lifetime, if our partner abandons us or dies, we will stay alone in the deep sea, depressed and unhappy, until we die.

” Jiang Li was startled. There was only one sentence in her head. Are you playing for keeps? “Sister, you don’t want me, such a handsome and cute little fish, to be depressed, do you?” His eyes widened, his tears gathered even more, as if they were about to fall the next second. Handsome, those two words describe him perfectly.

But cute… he’s really flattering himself, right? Jiang Li, who had been dominated by reason, was quickly swayed by emotion when she heard his words and saw his appearance. It has to be said, Jun Yue Lan was really good at understanding her weaknesses. He just had to act a little bit pitiful and she wouldn’t be able to bear it. Jiang Li sighed, forget it, she was really defeated by him. “Alright, I promise I’ll stay here.”

“Great!” Jun Yue Lan immediately wiped away his tears, he was beaming with joy as he hugged Jiang Li, his two fins also wagging happily back and forth. This made her speechless. It was a pity that Jun Yue Lan didn’t learn how to change his face.

Seeing him hugging her, Jiang Li gently patted his fish hand. “That’s enough, you can let go.” “No, I want to hug my sister for a while longer.” He wagged his fishtail, like a spoiled child, he wouldn’t let go no matter what. Seeing this, Jiang Li didn’t say anything. If he likes to hug, let him hug, it’s not like she’ll lose a piece of meat. Just as Jun Yue Lan was immersed in the joy of hugging Jiang Li’s soft body, an untimely voice rang out.

 “Cough, cough, that’s enough, I’m back.” Xiao Jie awkwardly came in front of them. Jun Yue Lan looked up, dissatisfied with him, “Why did you come back?” So annoying, why didn’t he leave with Elder Xingyu? He’s interrupting my time with my sister. Xiao Jie was immediately unhappy when he heard this. This fish who values beauty over friendship!

“Hey hey hey, Jun Yue Lan, is that how you talk to a pregnant woman?” Jiang Li’s gaze fell on Xiao Jie’s round belly, she thought at first that he had eaten too much, but it turned out he was pregnant. Among marine creatures, only seahorses are male births.

Seeing Jiang Li staring at him, Xiao Jie felt a little embarrassed, he coughed lightly and swayed his small body to Jiang Li’s side. “Hey, female, what’s your name? Which tribe are you from?” Jiang Li was stunned, she had forgotten to ask, she hadn’t formally introduced her name to Jun Yue Lan.
