Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1527: Daddy Is the Smallest at Home
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
Ye Xuan stood there, astonished.
A smile graced Liu Ying’s lips as she turned her gaze to Lin Tong, inquiring with genuine interest, "Home? My home, where might it be?"
Lin Tong offered a gentle smile, responding, "Wherever you feel it is, that is where your home resides."
Liu Ying’s smile faltered and vanished entirely. She appeared dumbfounded, as if unable to accept that the elegant woman before her was the Lin Tong she recognized.
After a significant pause.
Liu Ying subtly pulled at the corner of her mouth, forcing a smile through the tears welling in her eyes. She looked at Lin Tong with earnestness and voiced her gratitude, "Thank you."
Lin Tong merely shook her head with a smile, stating, "It is only right."
Liu Ying then pursed her lips and declared, "From this moment on, you shall be the elder, and I, the younger."
Lin Tong replied, "I apologize for the imposition."
Liu Ying’s response echoed, "It is only right."
Ye Xuan remained utterly baffled.
What was transpiring before him?
It was said that ice and fire could never coexist, so what was this peculiar situation? How could Lin Tong, the formidable ice queen, possibly show such tolerance towards Liu Ying, the fiery volcano?
Were they not concerned that the ice might melt or the volcano might be extinguished?
And what was this declaration of 'you are big, I am small'?
What in the world was that about? Shouldn't he, as the husband, be the one to decide these matters? Since when were the positions of the main wife and the concubine not determined by the man of the house?
Liu Ying, you aspire to the second position, but I cannot accept that! My beloved Yumo and Miaochan will forever hold precedence over you!
Furthermore, Qin Lan, whose return remains uncertain, should also rank above you!
In matters of the heart, it should be first come, first served. At best, you could only hope for the fourth position!
As a man who upheld his responsibilities, Ye Xuan felt it imperative to champion the rights of Su Yumo and Qin Lan.
Consequently, Ye Xuan, carrying Little Cloud, approached the two women and declared with solemnity, "What do you mean by 'you being big and me being small'? In this family, there is only one supreme ruler!"
Both Lin Tong and Liu Ying turned to him with perplexed expressions.
"What are you looking at?" Ye Xuan pressed, tilting his head upwards. "Little Cloud, tell them, who is the most important person in our family?"
"The most important person is Mommy!" Little Cloud answered without a second thought.
Lin Tong beamed, her smile radiant, "Little Cloud is so clever!"
Ye Xuan's face suddenly flushed with embarrassment.
Little Cloud, I was the one who rescued you back then. Ungrateful child!
To his surprise.
Before Ye Xuan could utter another word, Little Cloud continued, "Pretty Auntie is the second most important, Little Cloud is third, and Daddy is the least important."
What?
Ye Xuan was utterly shocked.
Little Cloud, this is too much!
Children speak their minds freely, but you are just a child. I will not stoop to your level.
Yet, why were Lin Tong and Liu Ying chuckling so discreetly nearby?
Fine, fine, you are women. I shall not argue with you.
And what about those strange glances from the onlookers?
Ye Xuan's face turned scarlet instantly. Utterly mortified, he pulled both women towards the parking lot, urging them away, "Let's go, we can discuss this at home!"
At this moment, even Little Cloud was giggling, her laughter like the chime of a clear bell, a heavenly melody that nonetheless made Ye Xuan wish he could disappear.
Little Cloud, just you wait!
Numerous passers-by were left frozen in their tracks, gazing at the departing figures of Ye Xuan’s 'family,' utterly bewildered for a long while.
What in the world... are we hallucinating?
"Are you serious? That guy just had two wives just now?"
"Oh my heavens, you must be joking! Is this guy even human? He already has such stunning wives and a daughter, and he's bringing a mistress along too?"
"He's insane! He must be absolutely crazy! Such beautiful women tolerate a husband who flirts with others, and when they meet, they get along so peacefully? What are they thinking?"
"What is happening to the world?"
"Why? Why does that man deserve all this?"
"..."
Countless male compatriots erupted in a storm of emotion. Reflecting on their own circumstances and their place within their own families, they were suddenly overcome with a sense of despair.
As men, how exceedingly fortunate was He Duxiu!
...
At this precise moment, Ye Xuan was driving.
Lin Tong occupied the passenger seat, while Liu Ying and Little Cloud engaged in playful interaction in the rear.
The little girl, Little Cloud, possessed an innate charm, captivating everyone she encountered. Despite having only recently met Liu Ying, the two had already forged a strong bond, becoming fast friends.
It was Ye Xuan and Lin Tong who appeared notably subdued.
Ye Xuan did not wish to be quiet; however, upon entering the car, Lin Tong's expression turned cold and stern, her demeanor as if they were meeting for the very first time. Clearly, she held reservations about Ye Xuan, and speaking carelessly at this juncture would surely be inviting disaster.
The back seat buzzed with lively chatter, while the front remained enveloped in a somber silence!
Ye Xuan guided the car, occasionally casting furtive glances at Lin Tong. He sighed inwardly, acknowledging that, indeed, women were inherently enigmatic creatures.
Her words were, "Liu Ying, from this day forth, we are family."
All the resentment and anger, in the past, were all directed at him, Ye Xuan.
Wife, you were always so straightforward before, how have you become like this now?
"Cough cough!"
Amidst the awkward atmosphere, Ye Xuan cleared his throat twice and asked with a chuckle, "Wife, during the time I was away, did you miss me?"
The moment he uttered these words, Ye Xuan immediately regretted it.
As expected, Lin Tong, with a completely blank expression, replied rather unfeelingly, "No."
Ye Xuan felt utterly embarrassed.
Shifting his gaze, Ye Xuan posed another question, "Weren't you scared by the assassin last night?"
Lin Tong responded, "I was scared."
Ye Xuan was left speechless.
This conversation couldn't go on.
Ye Xuan fell silent and continued driving without another word. He understood that Lin Tong wasn't incapable of moving past her feelings; she simply harbored some grievances and needed an outlet. After all, Ye Xuan was now bringing Liu Ying home, a situation that any original wife would find unsettling. Even if Lin Tong understood Ye Xuan's circumstances.
"It's truly back to square one; all my previous efforts have been completely wasted."
Ye Xuan felt like crying but had no tears left.
Before he knew it, the car had already arrived back at the Dragon Domain residence.
The three of them alighted from the car at the villa's entrance. Ye Xuan parked the vehicle in the garage and then headed back towards the house.
The house door was firmly shut. Ye Xuan reached out to unlock it, but his expression changed.
"What in the world?"
The door was actually locked from the inside!
Who could have done this?
Ye Xuan was suddenly enraged, shouting towards the house, "Who locked the door? Open it for me!"
A sympathetic voice emanated from inside Little Cloud, "Daddy, Little Cloud locked the door. Mommy and Aunt Liu said you did something wrong. You can't go anywhere tonight and must sleep at the doorstep. If they find out you leave the doorstep, you won't be allowed to enter the house tomorrow!"
Ye Xuan's eyes widened.
This was too much, far too much deception!
If his wife was angry, it would be understandable to indulge her, but why was Liu Ying also causing trouble? Didn't she understand why his wife was upset?
Ye Xuan angrily bellowed, "Liu Ying, get out here!"
"Are you calling me?" Liu Ying's voice drifted down from above.
Ye Xuan abruptly looked up, discovering Liu Ying lounging on a broken railing on the balcony, peering down at him with a smile.
Ye Xuan was incensed, "Liu Ying, this is no way to behave!"
"Ye Xuan, don't be angry. I have no other choice either!" Liu Ying declared with a wronged expression. "Little Cloud already said that Lin Tong is the supreme authority at home, and as the second, how could I dare to defy the wishes of the supreme authority?"
