Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

Chapter 884 884: One Misstep, a Lifetime of Regret?

Shangguan Wan'er isn't foolish; she had long noticed her mother's attitude toward Jiang Feng was different.

But she was always unwilling to believe it, thinking there was a generation gap between her mother and Jiang Feng, making it impossible for such feelings to exist.

Yet now, she saw it with her own eyes, and she couldn't not believe it!

Filled with overwhelming shame and rage, she ran down the mountain directly.

At this moment, all the beauties of the Evil Moon were done bathing and were getting dressed.

Seeing her running back with an unusual emotion, they were all astonished.

"Wan'er, what's wrong with you?"

Kong Guyoulan was just putting on her undergarments and waistband, and seeing Shangguan Wan'er so impulsive, she immediately approached and asked.

"Oh!!"

Shangguan Wan'er, already with red and tearful eyes, said nothing and continued to run forward, feeling disgusted, uncomfortable, and nauseated!

"What?!"

Chun Zhiyao, Xia Qinya, Qiu Miao'er, and Dong Ruyan also came over confusedly, full of questions.

At this moment, the Demoness also chased down from the mountain, feeling equally awkward when seeing everyone and, for once, feeling utterly humiliated.

"Fox Master, what happened to Wan'er, she...?" Kong Guyoulan asked the Demoness.

"It's nothing, I'll go and talk to her."

The Demoness took a deep breath, her face a little flushed, then walked through everyone directly, continuing to search for Shangguan Wan'er.

Ahead, in the depths of the dense forest, Shangguan Wan'er had run for quite a while, finally exhausted, she squatted on the ground and cried painfully, her shoulders trembling.

The Demoness wanted to step forward to comfort her but felt her feet as heavy as a thousand pounds, unable to take a step.

Shangguan Wan'er's sorrowful and lonely demeanor pained her and filled her with boundless guilt.

"Why are you chasing me? Why don't you continue doing what you want to do? Anyway, I'm not going to disturb you, no one will see what you do!"

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly stood up, turned around, and scolded the Demoness, her eyes full of tears!

The Demoness felt a stabbing pain in her heart, speaking bitterly, "Wan'er, what nonsense are you spouting? I slipped and fell into the water by accident, only having physical contact with Xiao Feng, it's not what you think..."

"Then secretly going up the mountain without telling us, peeping at Jiang Feng, was also accidental?"

Shangguan Wan'er said mercilessly.

This statement truly shattered the last bit of dignity the Demoness had.

No matter how guilty the Demoness felt, she couldn't help but feign anger: "So you've been stalking me all along?"

"Yes!"

Shangguan Wan'er admitted unhesitatingly, "I just wanted to see what you were doing up the mountain! I didn't expect to see such a disgusting scene, it's really subverted my knowledge, I have no face to tell Aunt Lan and others, I'm ashamed of you!"

"Shut up!"

The Demoness was furious!

Not to mention she really hadn't done anything against her conscience, even if she did, it wasn't her place to reprimand Shangguan Wan'er like this.

She rushed forward, immediately raised her palm, and said coldly, "If you dare to speak nonsense again, don't blame me for being harsh!"

"Hit me! Do you think I'm afraid of you hitting me? You've done disgraceful things and yet won't let others speak?"

Shangguan Wan'er lifted her face defiantly: "Even if you kill me, I'll never pretend I didn't see anything! This is a lifelong shame for me, I feel humiliated to have a mother as shameless as you!"

"You!!!"

The Demoness was exceedingly infuriated, her hand dangerously close to smacking Shangguan Wan'er's face.

Yet Shangguan Wan'er remained undaunted, even pressing her cheek forward, daring the Demoness to hit her!

But in the end, the Demoness stopped, frustratedly lowering her hand, her entire body trembling, her heart filled with unspeakable sadness and obstruction!

Shangguan Wan'er watched her mother's intensely furious yet helpless expression, and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Mom, so many men like you, why must you also like Jiang Feng? Why is it?" she asked in anguish.

The Demoness slightly trembled, biting her lip tightly: "Wan'er, I don't like Xiao Feng, I told you, things aren't as you think..."

"There's no one here, are you still reluctant to admit your true feelings?"

Shangguan Wan'er declared in anger, "Don't think I haven't noticed the way you look at Jiang Feng, it's different from how you look at any man! Every time you see him, you lose your composure, like a little girl who cares deeply about his feelings, you were never like this before, you are no longer the high and mighty Demoness ignoring all men in the world!"

Boom!!!

These words hit the Demoness's soul, causing her to stagger back two steps, her face showing strong agitation, unable to retort.

Shangguan Wan'er saw her mother speechless from her questioning, becoming even more infuriated: "Mom, as I said, with your beauty and status, if you really wanted to break the alliance rules, what kind of man couldn't you have? Why must you compete with me, knowing well that I also... like Jiang Feng... where does this leave me?"

"Wan'er, stop saying it..." the Demoness closed her eyes painfully, her face pale and weak.

"You all think I'm a fool, but can I not see anything? Apart from you, Ruyan and Miao'er, who had contact with Jiang Feng alone, all have different attitudes towards him, but they are my guard, I can't say anything, nor can I use my status as the young master to pressure them, in this matter, everyone is equal, but you..."

Shangguan Wan'er's tears flowed like rain: "You are different! If you really had feelings for Jiang Feng, what would others think of you, and what of the Demon Moon Alliance? Are you really going to make a mistake that invites eternal regret?"

"Wan'er, stop talking..."

The Demoness's face turned deathly pale, begging Shangguan Wan'er to leave her the last shred of dignity: "I know, because of my momentary confusion, I've hurt you, but I really don't have... have that kind of interest in Xiao Feng, rest assured."

Saying this, the Demoness felt despair, as if cutting through her heart with a knife!

Shangguan Wan'er's words were what she always wanted to face but didn't dare, holding onto a false hope and self-deception.

Now, having been exposed by Shangguan Wan'er, it was like a knife stabbed into the softest part of her heart, blood dripping, yet also making her heart break, unable to pretend any longer.

"I promise you, from now on, I will try my best to keep a distance from Xiao Feng, to preserve both your and my dignity. And whatever feelings you have for Xiao Feng, I won't stop you, the alliance rules are officially void from now on."

"I hope in the future, you can truly settle with Xiao Feng, even if you can't become his official wife, being a cherished companion is enough!"

"With him supporting the Demon Moon Alliance, it will be for the fortune of the Demon Moon..."

After saying that, the Demoness could no longer face her daughter, turned around, and walked away unsteadily.

At this moment, she suddenly felt something in her heart was drained, making her feel like a walking corpse, wandering aimlessly...

And Shangguan Wan'er, watching her mother's desolate figure from behind, couldn't help but feel a new wave of piercing pain in her heart.

It seemed something had suddenly gripped her heart tightly, making her gasp for air, painfully...
