Lin Yu silently swallowed the tea in his mouth, quickly pondering what kind of relationship exactly existed between Fu Luo and Sleepless Sky Huole.

First, it was impossible for them to be father and daughter by blood relation.

Even disregarding age, Sleepless Sky Huole looked exactly like Sleepless Sky Huo Shu.

Black hair, red pupils, thin lips.

And those beautiful, somewhat alluring fox-like eyes.

So, Lin Yu couldn't help but consider for a moment whether this "Father" might be a special, intimate pet name between the two of them.

But Lin Yu quickly dismissed this idea himself.

Judging from Sleepless Sky Huole's attitude, while she was affectionate towards Fu Luo, it absolutely did not seem like the relationship between lovers or something ambiguous.

Could it be that the Sleepless Sky Huole before him was actually an artificial human like Stiller, and Fu Luo had made some kind of contribution to her creation?

While that would fit the description of "father in a certain sense," it still didn't feel quite right...

Because the young girl before him looked like a complete and utter Natural Person through and through.

The earlier "Father" also carried more of a teasing, playful tone.

Could it be an adoptive father?

Lin Yu couldn't find the answer for the moment, so he could only muddle through for now.

"So hot..."

Lin Yu pretended his tongue had been scalded by the tea, lightly sucking in cool air.

Seeing Lin Yu like this, Sleepless Sky Huole expressed her concern. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Oh dear, be careful. Do you need some burn ointment?"

After Lin Yu shook his head in refusal, Sleepless Sky Huole immediately spoke up.

"It seems you still have some resistance to this identity," Sleepless Sky Huole said with a smile. "I don't feel anything about it, so why can't you accept it?"

Hearing this, Lin Yu calmly analyzed and gleaned new information.

It seemed Fu Luo wasn't very enthusiastic or satisfied about being Sleepless Sky Huole's father either?

Following this new piece of information, Lin Yu displayed some sullen displeasure, speaking vaguely.

"You have to give me some time to accept..."

But with just these somewhat vague words.

The expression on Sleepless Sky Huole's face, who had been gentle, friendly, and even somewhat enthusiastic since entering, suddenly turned cold.

"Furbollo, don't think you still have a choice."

Sleepless Sky Huole stood up, her fiery red eyes fixed on Lin Yu's face.

"Perhaps you don't fear my methods, but you are well aware of Mother's methods."

"As the head of the Sleepless Night Family and the Chosen One of this generation, neither you nor I have the right to defy Mother... So, accept reality."

Sleepless Sky Huole said coldly.

"Later, come with me to pay respects to Mother... I hope you can please her this time as well."

As she spoke, Sleepless Sky Huole stood up and walked behind Lin Yu, her voice suddenly softening again.

"Actually, I truly admire you. Don't worry, once Mother is dead, I will give you everything you deserve... Whatever you want, I will grant it."

She gently stroked Lin Yu's face, her words spoken softly.

"Furbollo, Furbollo, I know what kind of life you 'Otherworldly Visitors' lead, precarious, hanging by a thread... I understand you very well, because I am the same."

"If I don't become the family head, I will die—we are the same, like cicadas in the twilight of autumn..."

"But as long as you can please Mother for me, as long as you can make Mother always believe I am the most suitable heir, I can survive..."

"Once I control the Sleepless Night Family... I will definitely let you live on and on, forever."

As she spoke, Sleepless Sky Huole's slender, pale, and thin hand suddenly tightened with force, clamping around Lin Yu's throat.

Lin Yu only felt his breath suddenly constrict, instinctively wanting to pry Sleepless Sky Huole's hand away.

But this seemingly frail woman had terrifyingly immense strength, like a steel vise locking tightly around Lin Yu's throat.

"You must believe me, you must believe me, Furbollo. You are the only one I can trust... My birth father is already dead. In this family, in this city, in this world, I can't trust anyone. I can only trust you, an 'Otherworldly Visitor.'"

"Furbollo, you are the same. Only by trusting each other can we survive."

Sleepless Sky Huole's voice was extremely gentle, forming a stark contrast with her gradually tightening hand.

But at this moment, Lin Yu instead calmed down.

He released his resisting hand—in truth, if he went all out, with his current fivefold normal strength enhancement combined with various methods to boost his physique, it wasn't necessarily impossible for Lin Yu to pry Sleepless Sky Huole's hand away.

He might even be able to break her hand directly by catching her off guard.

But that wasn't the strength Fu Luo should possess.

Moreover, Lin Yu realized that Sleepless Sky Huole didn't actually want to kill him.

"It seems all the 'nobles' in this world really do have serious mental issues, personality defects, just in different directions..."

"I originally thought Sleepless Sky Huole was more normal than her brother, but now it seems they are two sides of the same coin... Fu Luo, oh Fu Luo, then I have to wonder why you refused Sleepless Sky Huo Shu last time."

"However... now I've pretty much completely figured out why Fu Luo holds such a high position, why even CEO Paris doesn't dare look down on him, and why both the brother and sister heirs of the Sleepless Night Family are vying for him..."

"So this guy is the kept man of Sleepless Sky Huole and Sleepless Sky Huo Shu's biological mother, the current head of the Sleepless Night Family!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yu recalled Sleepless Sky Huo Shu's words and felt somewhat amused.

That narcissistic naked man was truly a master of subtle phrasing, talking about so many people supporting him and even mentioning 'Father,' making Lin Yu think he already had it in the bag.

Turns out, the current head of the Sleepless Night Family isn't his old man at all, but his and Huole's mother—which means, his father is actually on equal footing with Fu Luo, at most the difference between the official wife and the favored concubine.

And Sleepless Sky Huole is clearly the one more favored by her mother...

The weight of this single vote outweighs all the nonsense and messy talk Sleepless Sky Huo Shu was spouting.

Plus, CEO Paris is also in Sleepless Sky Huole's faction, so it seems the two sides are indeed evenly matched—maybe Sleepless Sky Huole even has the advantage.

Of course, judging by Sleepless Sky Huole's current deranged state, Lin Yu also felt her pressure must be quite significant as well.

Thinking this far, Lin Yu felt his thoughts becoming sluggish—the prolonged lack of oxygen from restricted breathing and blood flow was already severely affecting his thinking.

He gently patted Sleepless Sky Huole's forearm, indicating he was almost done for.

Sleepless Sky Huole released Lin Yu.

Although he wasn't quite at his limit yet, considering Fu Luo's physical constitution, Lin Yu still gasped for breath heavily, appearing as if he had nearly fainted.

Having pretty much figured out the internal dynamics of the Sleepless Night Family and Fu Luo's position within it, Lin Yu's mind was crystal clear, and he began his performance without any pressure.

He looked at Sleepless Sky Huole, showing an expression of displeasure: "You might as well just strangle me to death. Go ahead, strangle me to death right here in the tea room. Let's see if your mother still lets you become the family head after she finds out you killed me!"
