Chapter 1284: Chapter 1284: How Do You Want to Maintain Intimacy?

“Hmm, quite beautiful. And she was very good to me. Her name is Le Qingling. But after I went to rescue you, I left. I also announced my exit from the entertainment industry, and haven’t contacted her since. Now that I think about it, I really owe her an apology.”

“Why are you telling me all this? If you feel sorry for her, just go find her!” Gu Yuena said indifferently.

Tang Wulin sighed lightly and said, “I know she has always liked me. It’s just that I can’t bring myself to like her! My heart has been full since ten thousand years ago, with no more room left. Even though at that time I didn’t know who filled my heart, I knew I couldn’t have feelings for anyone else. Over the years, I’ve tried to persuade her to find her own place in life, but she just wouldn’t listen, such a silly girl.”

Gu Yuena was stunned for a moment and did not respond.

Tang Wulin continued, “Like you, trying to remember only brings me excruciating headaches. I didn’t understand why at the time. But after I met you for the first time, I began to understand. The reason I refuse to remember is that I don’t want to recall the pain of the past, especially when I didn’t even know where you were. If I remembered and couldn’t find you, I probably wouldn’t be able to resist ending my own life again, thinking you were already dead. Our past together must have been really painful. So, it’s actually good that you can’t remember now. Let’s not think about it. Shall we just look forward and move on?”

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t talk about the past?” Gu Yuena said.

Tang Wulin nodded, “Right, let’s not talk about the past anymore. Let bygones be bygones. All you need to know is that it was my fault before. I will make it up to you properly in the future.”

“I didn’t ask you to make it up to me,” Gu Yuena turned her head away, “I’m not familiar with you, and I don’t remember you either.”

Tang Wulin smiled slightly and said, “That’s okay if we are not familiar. We’ll get to know each other more by spending time together, right? And look, we have Xuanyu! The bond of blood cannot be changed. Even if you don’t remember me, or even like me, you can’t alter the fact that you are his mother and I am his father. Don’t you want Xuanyu to be happy? Our son has grown up without his biological parents by his side. We owe him so much. Shouldn’t we make it up to him in the future?”

As he spoke, Gu Yuena’s eyes softened, and she gave an “Mhm” of agreement.

Tang Wulin went on, “Since we want our son to be happy, we should first show him that we are happy, so that he will truly feel it! He will surely wish for us to be together, accompanying him. Therefore, we definitely shouldn’t be apart, as it would only make him worry. So, even if it’s just an act, don’t be too harsh on me in front of our son. We should show some warmth towards each other in his presence. Do you think that’s okay?”

Gu Yuena hesitated, “I feel like there’s something off. Are you trying to play tricks on me?”

Tang Wulin replied with a sincere face, “Then tell me, what’s wrong with what I said?”

“You…” Gu Yuena thought for a moment and found that it was indeed the case. Knowing Xuanyu, their son would definitely want them to be together.

“But you can’t go too far, okay! How do you want to maintain this closeness?” Gu Yuena asked warily.

Tang Wulin said, “It definitely won’t be too much, don’t worry. Let’s start with changing how we address each other at least; don’t you think that would make things less awkward? It would sound more comfortable to our son as well.”

“How do you want to change it?” Gu Yuena asked, puzzled.

Tang Wulin said, “From now on, I’ll call you Gu Yue, and you call me Wulin. Is that okay?”

Gu Yuena replied somewhat reluctantly, “I guess that’s fine.”

Tang Wulin smiled slightly, “Good, that’s a good start. Okay then, let’s leave it at that for now. You rest, I’ve got things to do. I need to prepare and make some arrangements with the academy. We’re leaving tomorrow. The Silver Armored Roc Warship should be almost ready. I’ll come back later to bring you dinner.”

After saying that, he stood up nonchalantly and walked out.

Watching his retreating figure, Gu Yuena suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss. Is that it? He’s just going to leave like that? Without fighting for anything more?

Although she thought so, she didn’t reveal anything. Standing up, she walked to the window and gazed at the scenery outside.

Lan Xuanyu was indeed especially busy that day, with too many things to prepare. Fortunately, Tree Elder had given him quite a bit of help. He had already selected the plant-class soul beasts and arranged for these plant elite to board the Silver Armored Roc Warship directly. All God-level plant-based spirit beasts and those on the verge of breaking through to God Rank were to stay.

Lan Xuanyu spent most of the day in the Forbidden Arsenal, thoroughly learning about these Forbidden Weapons and making his selection. In the afternoon, he went to the Tang Sect’s warehouse to choose some rare metals. His friends’ Two-Word Battle Armors really needed an upgrade! With ample rare metals, even if he couldn’t forge for his teammates, there was still his dad, right? His own father was a deserving God Rank Blacksmith. He had been the federation’s number one Blacksmith over ten thousand years ago. With him around, except for his own Battle Armor that he had to forge himself, his father could complete the Battle Armors for the rest of Thirty-Three Skywing’s members.

Busy all day, it was only when night fell that he finished all the preparatory work. The latest installation on the Silver Armored Roc Warship was also completed with Tang Sect’s utmost efforts. Tomorrow morning, they could set off to return to the Seventh Fleet, and then back to Sky Dragon Planet.

Returning to Eternal Sky City, he entered Sea God’s Pavilion. Inside Sea God’s Pavilion, all was still quiet.

Just as Lan Xuanyu was about to go upstairs, he heard a voice.

“Don’t come up just yet. Wait a little while.” The voice belonged to Tang Wulin. Hearing his words, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but be slightly startled. What’s the matter? Not letting himself go up?

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes flickered. Could it be that his parents were… Thinking of that, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but show a weird smile at the corner of his mouth. Without making a sound, he found a place to sit down in the great hall of Sea God’s Pavilion.

On the second floor, in the innermost room.

Just after having dinner with Gu Yuena, Tang Wulin smiled and said, “Xuanyu is back.”

“Yeah. I felt it too,” said Gu Yuena.

Blood ties like theirs didn’t require the release of divine consciousness for her to clearly feel that her son had returned.

Tang Wulin said: “I’ve been thinking, we are departing tomorrow. And we will go with our son. To let our son rest assured, do you think we should act a bit more affectionate in front of him, so that he won’t worry about us when he returns to Sky Dragon Planet?”

Gu Yuena’s eyes suddenly widened, “What are you thinking of doing?”

Tang Wulin whispered a few words, and Gu Yuena firmly said: “No, that’s not alright. You…” As she spoke, her ears began to redden.

Tang Wulin bowed his head, sighed softly, and said: “I wasn’t fair to you in the past. I didn’t have many opportunities to take care of you properly. This won’t actually be too invasive for you. And besides, it’s for our son. Look…”

Lan Xuanyu had no idea that his father was using him as a bond for emotional connection.

Gu Yuena instinctively looked at him but saw that Tang Wulin’s eyes were slightly red, as if recalling something.

“Just this once, okay? Don’t worry, I promise I won’t cross any lines, it’s just soaking.” Tang Wulin earnestly said, “For our son.”

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, turned her head away, refusing to look at him, and then imperceptibly nodded.
