LOT -Chapter 275 Hoping for a Husband to Become a Dragon

Lin Qi was utterly speechless when he saw Lin Mo secretly chewing away like that.

At a time like this she could still think about eating more—was the family short of her portion of food?

It wasn’t that she wasn’t allowed to eat. They just wanted her to wait until she fully recovered. Her body wasn’t well yet, and she was already eating all this nonsense. She’d be crying about her sore throat again later.

Sensing that the atmosphere was getting dangerous, Bai Xiao hurriedly grabbed Lin Mo and fled. While running, he shouted, “Brother, if there’s nothing else we’ll be leaving now! You read your book well!”

Lin Mo, who hadn’t reacted yet: 【Why are you dragging me away so fast? Is my brother going to beat us?】

Bai Xiao: 【If we stayed any longer he might! With the way you listen to lectures—even I get angry, let alone him.】

Who listens to a scolding while eating, and even eats with such confidence?

Hearing their thoughts fade further away, Lin Qi let out a helpless sigh.

This little system really spoiled Mo’er too much. He used to think he could find someone who would rein in this little troublemaker, but look at what happened.

After eating, Lin Mo and Bai Xiao happily went off in search of excitement.

“Flower Peacock is about to get into a fight with someone at Wangyue Tower. If we hurry, we can still catch the fun.”

Bai Xiao got excited the moment he heard gossip about someone he knew.

Lin Mo stuffed snacks into her mouth as she asked anxiously, “How is he getting into a fight? With that personality? How is that possible?”

Bai Xiao: “Actually nothing major happened. Flower Peacock and that guy never got along. They bumped into each other on the road and started arguing. After a few insults they began greeting each other’s parents and ancestors, so now they’re about to fight.”

Lin Mo: … As expected, no matter the era, insulting someone’s parents and ancestors is the most vicious weapon.

When they rushed over excitedly, a huge crowd had already gathered. Qin Zheng was anxiously holding Wei Zheng’an back, afraid he’d charge forward if he got too worked up.

“Zheng’an, calm down, calm down. They have more people. If you start this fight, you’ll be in the wrong.”

They only had two people. The other side had five. If it turned into a fight, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.

And if they were the ones to throw the first punch, it would count as them starting the trouble.

Wei Zheng’an, face flushed with anger, yelled, “Let go of me! If I don’t beat up that bastard, I won’t be a Wei!”

The young master across from them was also being held back by his attendants, and he wasn’t any better.

“Wei Zheng’an! Come here if you’ve got guts! Don’t think I’m scared of you! Don’t think you’re anything just because your father got promoted!”

Wei Zheng’an: “Yes, I am something! If you’ve got skills, have your father get promoted too! Your dad’s not as good as mine—you’re jealous! I knew it! You’ve been jealous of me since we were kids!”

“You’re jealous I look better than you, jealous I’m more talented, jealous that you lose to me in everything!”

Lin Mo burst out laughing. “Hehehe, truly worthy of Flower Peacock—so narcissistic. But… are they competing with their dads?”

Bai Xiao: “Pretty much. That guy’s father has always been one rank lower than Flower Peacock’s father. And recently Flower Peacock’s father got promoted to Minister of Justice, so now he’s two ranks higher.”

Lin Mo nodded in sudden understanding. So it really was jealousy.

“I spit! Jealous of you? Talented? Where? What do you have besides a good family to be born into? With your personality, you’d waste even the best family background!”

The other guy was furious, but honestly, listening to them argue was surprisingly entertaining.

The two of them exposed each other’s faults and started comparing their fathers’ abilities.

Most people hope their sons become dragons. These two hoped their fathers would become dragons. What a pair of filial sons.

Flower Peacock, exasperated, shouted, “Just you wait! My dad will definitely get promoted again!”

The other guy yelled back, “Like my dad can’t?! When my dad gets promoted, I won’t invite you to our banquet!”

Whenever someone gets promoted, they’d usually host a banquet, and close acquaintances would come to gift presents and eat.

Lin Mo couldn’t help shouting, “Why are you two competing like this? If you’ve got guts then compare yourselves! Why keep looking at your fathers?”

Both turned their heads to her at once. Lin Mo showed them a big bright grin.

“What are you looking at? My dad is even more amazing!”

Bai Xiao: … You just told them not to compare fathers, and now you’re comparing your father.

The moment Lin Mo arrived, the two immediately quieted down. They couldn’t help it—arguing in front of this little ancestor felt like they’d forgotten to wear pants.

Their whole bodies felt chilly and unprotected.

“Go on, continue. I haven’t watched enough. Continue!”

Lin Mo cracked melon seeds while urging them. Their quarrel was genuinely entertaining. These two filial sons competing over their fathers was honestly hilarious.

“Do your fathers know you brag about them like this? Saying they’ll become prime minister in three years? Does the current prime minister know about this?”

The other guy turned beet red. He was the one who’d said it. He had been so furious earlier that he hadn’t even thought before speaking.

“Lord Lin is joking… We just got a bit worked up. We weren’t thinking straight.”

Wei Zheng’an secretly sighed in relief. Good, good—he hadn’t said anything that crazy. He only said his father would be promoted, not that his father would become prime minister.

Lin Mo grinned. “I know you didn’t mean it. But your argument was really fun! Oh, and does your dad really know how to do a backflip? You said earlier he can kick someone flying with one backflip.”

Bai Xiao whispered, “Actually… yes. But when his dad backflips, he usually kicks him flying. It’s his father’s special move. He wasn’t lying about that part.”

The other guy: … Must you reveal my weaknesses?

The crowd burst into laughter. Watching these two argue really was entertaining. Who would’ve thought they’d get such a show while eating dinner?

Wei Zheng’an rubbed his nose, thinking hard if he had bragged about anything. Probably not… right?

Seeing his guilty expression, Qin Zheng suddenly realized what he was thinking and whispered, “Zheng’an, don’t worry. You didn’t say your father can backflip. You said he can dig someone’s heart out backward.”

Wei Zheng’an: … That’s worse than a backflip.

Good thing Lin Mo didn’t ask him about that, or how would he even explain it?
