From the dimly lit prison cell, the faint sound of weeping could be heard.
The crying was so annoying that the person in their sleep frowned and finally couldn't stand it anymore. They sat up and shouted, "Stop crying!"
The crying stopped abruptly.
Wang Ci, standing outside the cell, rubbed his eyes and said irritably, "You little brat, you're finally awake!"
Xia Chao protested, "Can't you just call Feng Guang by his proper name? What do you mean, 'little brat'?"
“Mom…” Feng Guang looked at her father standing beside her mother outside the door, “Dad… how come you’re here? No… why am I here?”
The room was dark and gloomy; she could only see the desolate corridor and her parents standing outside the large glass window.
Wang Ci spoke first, his expression not pleasant, "This is the prison of the Deep Swamp."
"Prison?" Feng Guang sat on the bed and quickly remembered what happened before she fainted. Her hand was nervously placed on her lower abdomen. After not feeling any pain or anything wrong with her body, she felt a little relieved. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "That old bastard Mo Feng used his talent on her unexpectedly. He's very capable, isn't he?"
Wang Ci's delicate makeup was already ruined by tears, but she had no time to fix it. She gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Xia Fengguang, you come here!"
Feng Guang shuddered, obediently got out of bed, and walked to the window, head down, not intending to look at his parents.
Seeing her like this, Wang Ci became even angrier. "You're really something, aren't you? I only went abroad with your dad for less than a month, and you've already made us grandparents?"
"You don't have to be one if you don't want to..."
"Xia Fengguang!"
"Calm down, calm down." Xia Chao patted his wife's shoulder and looked at his daughter with a gentle smile. "Fengguang, you should know how anxious we were when we received the dean's call. No matter how much we said we would deal with this when we got back, he still locked you up here."
Feng Guang wasn't in a good mood. He kicked the wall absently with his left foot and said, "I'm really sorry to have interrupted your chance to strengthen your relationship."
“You can’t say that,” Xia Chao coaxed gently. “You’re our daughter. If something happens to you, we’ll come back no matter where we are, even if we’re in Egypt or at the ends of the earth. Feng Guang, you know what being locked up here means. Things aren’t hopeless…”
Feng Guang looked up and thought, "What other chance could there be? I know that vampires like me are ultimately sentenced to death after trial."
Wang Ci said, "You are different from them. You are pure-blooded and your status is much higher and more prestigious than theirs. Listen to me. As long as you tell me who that man is and get rid of the child, the Senate will let bygones be bygones."
"But I don't want to agree to either of those two conditions you mentioned."
Wang Ci had no choice but to raise his voice again, "Feng Guang, don't you understand? This is the only way for you to survive!"
"I know... Mom, if you were me, would you choose not to have me?"
“This is different!” Wang Ci bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes again. “Your father and I are both purebloods, and our marriage is recognized by the Senate. But what are you now? Pregnant out of wedlock, and with a human at that. Maybe if you were an ordinary vampire, it wouldn’t matter, but you are a pureblood. What you’ve done violates the hard-won rules set by the Senate!”
