When he finally pulled back and wiped his eyes, Su Qinglan looked around the room.
"Where are the others?"
Hu Yan's expression softened. "Rong Ye has gone to find a lactating animal. We need milk for the cubs, they are hungry. And Han Jue..." He hesitated, his jaw tightening. "Han Jue has gone to chase that... that traitor."
He didn't want to say Xuan Long's name. To Hu Yan, the snake was dead to them.
Su Qinglan's eyes widened. She grabbed Hu Yan's arm. "Call them back. Both of them. Tell Han Jue to stop. There is no need to chase Xuan Long. Let him go."
She didn't want them to chase him. She believed that Xuan Long must have a reason, and they were only hindering him. What if it actually cost the life of their child?
Hu Yan felt something pierce his chest. He thought Su Qinglan was saying this because she was so heartbroken that she never wanted to see the snake's face again, not even to seek revenge.
