Chapter 560 - It's Good to Have You

Perhaps because Hua Shangmei had said something wrong, Ye Jiushang’s face had been tense ever since. One look and one could tell that he was in a bad mood. He did not eat much. He remained cold throughout the meal, not saying a word.

“I have some business to handle. I’ll take my leave. You guys take your time.” Noticing the atmosphere, Hua Shangmei found an excuse to escape. He left like a gust of wind.

“Sigh… We haven’t met properly yet.

“Why are you leaving so quickly! You look like you have a guilty conscience.

“Well, I guess it’s good that you’re gone. The remaining food is all mine.

“Ah Jiu, aren’t you eating? This dish is good. It’s even more delicious than what I make! Try it.” Xue Fanxin knew that Ye Jiushang was in a bad mood. She would not sour it further. Instead, she would think of a way to make the people around her happy.

Ye Jiushang looked at her and asked in a deep voice, “Don’t you have anything to ask?”

“Of course I have, but how can these questions compare to you? In my heart, you are the most important. Everything else is ranked at the back. When you are in a good mood, if you want to tell me these things, just do so. Otherwise, don’t bother. Everyone’s entitled to their privacy; even two people who love each other are no exception. Respect each other’s privacy and give each other a certain space. This is the basic principle of dealing with people. My Ah Jiu is unhappy, so I naturally have to think of a way to make him happy, right?”

Hearing Xue Fanxin’s warm words, all the haze in Ye Jiushang’s heart was swept away. He smiled and said emotionally, “Xin’er, it’s good to have you.”

“Of course it’s good to have me! So when you’re in a bad mood, you should think more about me and how good I am. This way, your bad mood will improve, right?”

“Yes, Xin’er is right. Actually, it’s nothing. My biological mother is not a human but a succubus. Like Little Lei, I am a child born from an alien race. My bloodline is not pure, so…” When Ye Jiushang spoke of his background, his heart became heavy. Clearly, he had a deep grudge.

“What impure bloodline? That’s all nonsense from someone with ulterior motives. Although I don’t know what kind of race the Succubi are, they won’t be too different. Otherwise, how could your parents have you?”

“You really don’t mind that my bloodline is not pure?”

“Isn’t it just mixed-blood? What’s there to despise? In my world, it’s normal for foreign races to get married and have children. There’s a high chance that mixed-bloods will inherit the advantages of their parents, so they’re often very outstanding children.”

“That’s good, that’s good.” Ye Jiushang finally relaxed. He was afraid that Xue Fanxin would despise his impure bloodline.

Actually, he should have been able to tell from Little Lei’s matter that Xin’er was not such a shallow person. It seemed like he was thinking too much.

Perhaps it was because he was too afraid of losing her that he overthought things.

From now on, he had one less worry. Even if the others despised his impure bloodline, it didn’t matter anymore.

“You big fool. You’re really stupid to be sad and depressed over such a small thing,” Xue Fanxin teased. Seeing his mood improve, she was also happy.

From Ah Jiu and Little Lei, she noticed that this world had high requirements for the purity of the bloodline. They seemed to discriminate against the children born from the combination of other races.
