Chapter 81: Kisses
Chapter 81: Kisses
Xiya’s lips were sweet, with a refreshing and elegant taste.
Even though Lynn just had a slight taste, he was already somewhat mesmerized.
Originally, with his abilities, it was impossible for his daughters to catch him off guard, but since they meant well, Lynn naturally couldn’t refuse.
How should I put this, this probably counts as mutual affection, right? So shouldn’t I be less polite?
Thinking of this, Lynn tentatively reached out to embrace Xiya’s waist, and the two little ones withdrew in a timely manner, leaving no gap between mom and dad.
And after Little Youli and Little Yuna moved away, Xiya didn’t resist his embrace, not even turning her head, prompting Lynn to go from a light taste to a gentle kiss.
Lacking practical experience and facing a pure Elven girl, Lynn didn’t start with any messy tricks, merely kissing her softly, without even using his tongue.
Xiya was even more inexperienced than Lynn; without much theoretical experience, she could only let Lynn kiss her, not knowing how to respond.
Off to the side, Catherine looked at the kissing pair, her eyes full of confusion; how did they start kissing without saying a word?
How did I suddenly become like a dog on the side of the road, getting kicked, then having dog food stuffed in my mouth afterward...
Meanwhile, Little Youli and Little Yuna proudly admired their handiwork, completely ignoring their grandma’s hand trying to cover their eyes.
"Lynn! My dad was called to the Imperial City! They say Princess Helena is going to become the Empress!"
At that moment, Vivian’s anxious voice came from outside; she didn’t have the key to Lynn’s house, so she could only knock anxiously.
"We’re over here!"
As Lynn and Xiya weren’t in a convenient position to speak, Catherine called Vivian over instead.
This was perfect, as she could score the scene and see how this interracial romance was unfolding...
"Tap-tap-tap"
A series of footsteps approached, and Vivian came in holding her skirt; at this moment Xiya was already blushing furiously trying to disengage, but Lynn, having tasted sweetness, was reluctant to let go.
"You guys..."
"Meow?"
Vivian’s hesitant voice and a meow sounded simultaneously; she brought Gugi along, intending for it to meet its future little master in advance.
"Hoo~"
Finally, under Xiya’s flurry of small punches on his chest, Lynn was willing to let her go; even then, he licked his lips as if he were a little kitten not yet satiated.
"It’s Vivian mom! Today, dad saved Nana from the bad guys, Xiya mom and Catherine mom already rewarded dad, Vivian mom, do you want to have a go too?"
Seeing Vivian come over, the two little ones ran over hand in hand and took her hands, bringing her right to Lynn.
"Ah? What? I have to do it too?"
Suddenly caught by the two cuties, Vivian was a bit confused; wasn’t she here to deliver a message? How did things take such a sudden turn right after she spoke?
"Kiss, kiss, all moms have kissed, Vivian mom mustn’t lag behind."
Little Youli and Little Yuna chorused, making Vivian blush inexplicably.
So she quietly glanced at Xiya and Catherine; she had just seen Xiya’s situation, and Catherine’s face seemed red too...
Could it be I’m the only one falling behind?
Lynn saved Little Yuna? How did he save her? Seems like a reward is in order?
Vivian was a bit dazed, but realizing everyone else had done it and only she hadn’t, wouldn’t that be somewhat inappropriate?
"Then... just, just once, okay."
Saying this, Vivian slowly moved closer to Lynn, standing on tiptoe under his clear gaze, pressing against his chest, and then... kissed his chin.
Sorry, I’m too lame...
After her small act of courage, Vivian, her face blushing, squatted on the ground, too shy to meet Lynn’s reaction.
While Gugi, who she brought over, crawled onto Lynn’s shoulder, twisting its chubby body.
The plump orange cat looked down at its squatting owner, then up at Lynn, and extended a furry, pudgy paw to pat Lynn’s head lightly twice.
Old friend, you finally won my owner over.
From now on, you have a cat, no longer a wild man with no cat...
...
...
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
In Lynn’s dining room, the family gathered together, celebrating the upcoming new life.
Little Yuna’s grandma was also a special guest, seated between Little Youli and Little Yuna, one holding a chubby orange cat, the other holding a newly arrived calico cat, and the four little ones were getting along very well.
The news Vivian brought didn’t disturb anyone; Xiya had long expected it, Catherine filled in the blanks after the fact, and as for the others... who cares who becomes the new Emperor of the Celestial Destiny Empire? As long as it isn’t the previous one, it’s a great thing.
"Lynn, is my dad really okay? I heard that when a new Emperor ascends, something always happens."
Putting down the low-alcohol fruit wine she had only sipped, Vivian still felt a little uneasy.
Despite her young age and lack of experience with imperial successions, her studies included history, learning that people like the Late Emperor would cause a huge stir if they were to pass the throne, so how did Helena take over so quietly?
"No worries, the new Emperor is more than likely your sister, what could possibly happen."
Before Lynn could speak, Catherine, finding the low-alcohol fruit wine quite boring, stepped in to reassure Vivian and ease her worry.
"My sister? I’m not very familiar with Princess Helena... um, with Empress Helena."
Vivian tilted her head quizzically at this, a question mark slowly appearing over her head. Though she and Helena were acquaintances, they weren’t close enough to be considered sisters.
"Sworn sisters are sisters too, you share a man, so you’re pure sisters."
Catherine sipped and found the drink increasingly dull, but under Xiya’s glare, she didn’t dare whip out some strong liquor for a few hearty gulps in front of the kids, so she bantered with Vivian instead.
"Ah? So does that mean... Empress Helena and I have the same relationship as you and I do?"
Vivian tilted her head again, suddenly feeling reassured.
But Catherine, hit by Vivian’s innocent tone, started to feel uneasy.
