Chapter 234 The Wonderful Uses of Love Poison

When Ye Wanxi saw the little green snake being called back by its owner, she realized that it seemed a bit inappropriate for her to feed someone else's pet without permission.

She straightened her expression, pretended nothing had happened, and subtly drew everyone's attention back to the main topic.

"Finished?"

Shi Yuyan, whose whole body ached from the beating and whose face was particularly contorted, was speechless.

He's already half dead, how can he possibly fight back?

Ye Wanxi glanced at Shi Yuyan's face, which looked like a spilled palette of colors, and then looked away, unable to bear looking at it.

"Now that the fight is over and we have a general understanding of what happened, shouldn't we discuss how to handle this matter?"

The Shi family members exchanged glances. After a moment, Mr. Shi, under the intense gazes of the Tao family grandfather and grandson, spoke up: "This matter is indeed Yu Yan's responsibility. My suggestion is that, no matter what, let the two children get married and have the child first. As for any other requests you may have, you can make them. We will do our best to fulfill them as long as they are within our capabilities."

Grandpa Tao's expression darkened slightly, and he didn't speak. Tao Wan only looked up at Shi Yuyan, touched her belly, and then lowered her head again.

Seeing this, Ye Wanxi rubbed her forehead and said helplessly, "Mr. Shi, it's too early to talk about these things now."

"This..." Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi exchanged a glance, somewhat bewildered.

How can this be considered early? You already have a child, isn't it only natural to get married and have children?

Ignoring their astonishment, Ye Wanxi looked at Tao Wan and said gently, "Miss Tao, do you want him to take responsibility? Do you want to keep this child?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Shi family members all changed, especially Shi Yuyan, who stared nervously at Tao Wan with his pig-headed face.

The Shi couple then realized what Ye Wanxi meant by "it's too early." You want someone to marry your bastard son and have children? They might not even want to!

"I want to keep him here." Tao Wan remained silent for a long time before finally saying this.

Grandpa Tao's face was rather unpleasant. He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing, only letting out a heavy snort.

Ye Wanxi was not surprised by this answer: "Since Miss Tao wants to keep this child, then let the child's father take good care of you. After all, the child in your belly also has half of his blood."

"Um."

Mrs. Shi was getting a little anxious: "Then they..."

“Madam Shi, forced relationships are never happy. The Second Young Master and Miss Tao have some misunderstandings about this matter. Forcing them to be together just because of this child may not be a good thing.”

The girl wants a long-term relationship with your son, but he only wants to have casual sex with her. Now you're making them get married for the sake of the child, but what if your son can't control himself and goes out partying again? Wouldn't that be ruining the girl's life?

Mrs. Shi opened her mouth, wanting to say, "But if they're not together, what will happen to the child in the future..."

The words were on the tip of their tongue when they realized that, as the party at fault, what right did they have to demand that the girl give them the child?

Shi Yuyan thought he would be relieved if the people around him stopped forcing him to be completely tied to Tao Wan.

But when Shi Yuyan actually heard Ye Wanxi say that, and saw that Tao Wan refused to look him in the eye, he felt as if something had stabbed his heart, leaving him feeling lost and dejected.

"If neither of you has any objections, then it's settled. During the pregnancy, the Shi family will be responsible for taking care of Miss Tao until the child is born. After that, the fate of the child and Miss Tao will be decided by Miss Tao herself. The Shi family must not use force to coerce or harm her."

Ye Wanxi looked at both sides and asked, "Do you agree?"

"agree."

"agree."

"Besides this, there's the love potion on Miss Tao and the Second Young Master..."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Tao's deep eyes narrowed instantly, and even the little green snake that was used as a decoration on the table leg suddenly woke up, staring at everyone menacingly.

"Wanwan is in poor health, so the love potion cannot be removed."

"I didn't say I wanted to remove it." Ye Wanxi carefully observed Tao Wan's expression for a while. "Miss Tao, you must have spent a lot of effort using the love potion on the Second Young Master while you were pregnant, right?"

Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, Grandpa Tao's face turned completely black.

After Tao Wan learned she was pregnant, she immediately went to find Shi Yuyan, the same time she stumbled upon Shi Yuyan bringing a female student home.

Tao Wan never expected that the man who had just smiled and said he liked and loved her not long ago would have another woman so soon, and even be indifferent to the fact that she was pregnant with his child, and push her away.

Tao Wan was heartbroken, and Grandpa Tao was furious. He immediately wanted Xiao Kui to rush in and bite the bastard to death.

Tao Wan couldn't dissuade him, so she used a spell on Shi Yuyan. Perhaps there was some selfishness involved, but saving his life was also an important reason at the time.

After all, Grandpa could ruthlessly kill Shi Yuyan, but he couldn't abandon his only granddaughter.

"The Second Young Master's sudden return to the country and the sudden separation of the offspring from the mother must have caused the mother to become restless, making Miss Tao's body increasingly weak and not conducive to nourishing the child in her womb."

The Shi family members' expressions changed slightly, and Shi's mother gripped Tao Wan's hand tightly, anxiously asking, "Miss Ye, do you have a solution?"

Ye Wanxi revealed a sly smile: "Of course there is a way, it just depends on whether the Second Young Master is willing to cooperate."

Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, not only the Shi family members but even Grandpa Tao were somewhat surprised, pricking up their ears to await Ye Wanxi's so-called solution.

"The love gu are born from the same root and are intertwined. The offspring gu will be uneasy if separated from the mother gu, and the mother gu will also be restless if separated from the offspring gu. I have a way to deepen the connection between the two, so that they can share the pain."

"Sharing pain?"

Everyone present was stunned by Ye Wanxi's words. Grandpa Tao even sat up straight, staring intently at Ye Wanxi.

“That’s right, pain is shared. Originally, the love worms on their bodies would only work when they were accidentally far apart. And at most, they could only transmit some emotions such as anxiety and sadness through the worms, and sometimes they were too weak to be noticed.”

Ye Wanxi paused for a moment, then smiled innocently: "But with my help, the connection between the offspring Gu and the mother Gu will be strengthened. No matter how hard Miss Tao works in the future, the Second Young Master can take half of it through the Gu worms. In this way, Miss Tao and the child will feel much better, but the Second Young Master may... suffer a bit."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Shi Yuyan like arrows.

Shi Yuyan: "..." I feel like if I say I don't want it now, I might get beaten to death!

Feng Tianyu looked at Ye Wanxi's cheeky, devilish smile, his eyes flashing slightly, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.
