Demon King – Chapter 890 – The Fruit of Mischief

Back to the present, although she had been convinced by Ei Yuan not to make things too difficult for Yuki or anything, when the person who had lured away her precious little cabbage actually appeared before her, Liu Wan’s discomfort still couldn’t be completely controlled.

A person’s concepts and views aren’t something that can be changed simply by doing some ideological work, but there was no help for it. Since she had already decided to wait and see how things developed, if she fell out now, no one present would be able to save face.

Holding the idea of “out of sight, out of mind,” Liu Wan simply smiled in response to Yuki’s polite greetings, then found an excuse, got up, and retreated to her room.

“Sure enough, your mom still sees me as an eyesore?”

The clever Yuki understood the situation now, so he leaned close to Eiru’s ear and muttered this quietly.

“Normal, normal… The fact that she didn’t rush over and fall out with you, I think that’s already pretty surprising.”

To be honest, every time Yuki visited while Liu Wan was at home, Her Majesty the Demon Lord would secretly break out in a sweat for her good brother… Knowing her mom’s controlling nature toward her children, she was really afraid the two of them would argue or even fight right in front of her.

“It’s fine between you and me, at worst I can just run away… But mainly if you two really kick off, I’m afraid my dad and my sister would be awkward.”

‘And Dad has already worked so hard for our sake. If Mom’s attitude caused all the progress in easing family relations to be lost, Dad would definitely be very sad, right?’

“You, think more about yourself, don’t always think about others.”

Yuki reached out and pressed down on his little girlfriend’s forehead, that ‘reverse scale’ of hers. The little girl immediately stiffened as if electrocuted, frozen in place, not daring to move.

But Yuki also admitted his little girlfriend was quite right. Over this past semester, he had seen the efforts Ei Yuan had made for the two of them, and his view of this future father-in-law had changed.

What Liu Wan had said before about sending Eiru to a specialized girls’ school wasn’t just talk said in the heat of the moment… Behind the scenes, hiding it from her two daughters, she had actually discussed it with Ei Yuan and even made preparations for it, already having a school in mind.

To be honest, the reasons were quite sufficient. Besides being afraid her daughter would be taken advantage of when interacting with others, she also felt that if Eiru continued to stay at Seventh High, there would be big problems with her interpersonal relationships.

Because in her understanding, her daughter had once been a boy and had indeed interacted with everyone at school as a boy. And a big boy suddenly turning into a little loli, being ostracized as a freak, was also very much within reason.

So besides protection, Liu Wan also wanted her daughter to learn common sense about being a girl and establish new interpersonal relationships at a new school…

Ei Yuan knew at the time that, given his wife’s temperament, just persuading her was useless. No amount of explanation and analysis would be as effective as a tangible result.

So while Liu Wan was running around making connections everywhere, he was not only keeping all sides stable but also revealing this matter to Yuki and Jiaqi, just revealing information wasn’t enough; he also taught these two young men the solution.

So this semester, Yuki and Jiaqi had been helping the little Demon Lord build bridges and improve relationships with her classmates. Their goal was to let Liu Wan see that Eiru could normally make friends and live her life here, without the problems she imagined.

After learning about her daughter’s recent situation from the invincible homeroom teacher, finding out that Eiru wasn’t just actively interacting with classmates in class but was even the popular favorite of the whole class, the whole grade, and even the whole school.

There was no situation of being ostracized or treated like a freak, so Liu Wan’s most important reason for wanting to transfer her child naturally no longer existed.

Not only could he actually do things for his daughter, but he could also give timely notice while providing effective solutions. Yuki had to admire Ei Yuan’s reliability as an adult.

While admiring him, Yuki also gradually dissolved the remaining psychological barriers he held toward the other party, truly accepting this future father-in-law in his heart.

Although I still won’t forgive you for hitting Lu Brat and saying those heartless words that hurt her…

The younger daughter was also on the sofa, holding a workbook, looking busy as hell. Ei Yuan smiled, looked at his eldest daughter interacting with Yuki nearby, stood up, and rolled up his sleeves.

His wife had retreated to her room because she was vexed, but with a future son-in-law visiting as a guest, they couldn’t just leave him unattended, right? So Ei Yuan went into the kitchen again, preparing to cook a sumptuous meal for the family.

When they sat down to eat together, using the culture of the dinner table, it should more or less ease the relationship between his wife and future son-in-law, right?

If it were the little Demon Lord currently play-fighting with Yuki, at this point she’d probably come out with a comment about ‘mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship’ that would make everyone break out in a cold sweat…

“Stupid Yuki, open wide, ah~ This Monarch personally peeled this orange for you~” The little Demon Lord poked Yuki’s waist and held the peeled fruit up to his lips.

“Speaking of which, why an orange…” Although Yuki felt sweet inside, influenced by certain popular memes, hearing the word ‘orange’ felt a bit subtle.

“Hey, it’s not like I’m buying you oranges, not trying to take advantage of you. If you don’t want it, forget it.”

“I’ll eat it, I’ll eat it. My cute little husband peeled this orange for me, how could I not eat it? My precious is getting more and more clingy and virtuous~ Ah~”

Yuki opened his mouth, waiting to be fed by his cute little girlfriend… This mischievous loli wasn’t causing trouble today and had even personally peeled an orange for him. How could he possibly miss out on such sweet happiness?

While waiting to be fed, Yuki’s peripheral vision glanced over the table. Seeing the yellow fruit peel on the table, he suddenly sensed something was wrong, but by then Eiru’s little hand had already stuffed the fruit into his mouth.

“Ee… gah… yah…”

Yuki, the handsome boy usually aloof to outsiders but warm to those close to him, felt the sour and astringent taste rapidly spreading in his mouth, and his face uncontrollably twisted, letting out a strange cry like an air raid siren.

“Lu! Brat! How dare you feed me a lemon!”

“Wahaha!! Stupid, stupid, stupid! As expected of Stupid Yuki! Haha! Falling for my trap so easily… Wha?!”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord was gloating, but before she could even laugh halfway, that mischievous little mouth of hers was sealed by Yuki…

“Wha?! Whaeee!”

Her pupils dilated then contracted, went flat then stretched straight again. The little Demon Lord’s flailing limbs were also pinned down by Yuki as she was forced to taste the fruit of her own mischief.

“Not bad, combined with the lemon, sweet and sour, delicious.”

After a long while, their lips parted. Yuki looked like he was still savoring it. After licking his lips, he appreciatively watched the sweet loli beneath him, who had already turned into spiral eyes…
