Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 913 - 452 Liya: Time to Get Engaged to My Daughters, The Ring for Aina (4k)_2
Wei’er didn’t want to see Aina so upset either.
As a canine, inherently possessive over food, she would be insanely jealous of any woman approaching Luo Xi besides herself, which spoke volumes about how kind Aina was to her.
Everything was to be shared, there was never a distinction between them.
It wasn’t just a child’s banter.
Aina was truly doing so.
So when she heard that she and Luo Xi had really taken the final step, Aina’s smile was genuine, as radiant as if she was saying, "Useless Wei’er sister, you have finally perked up!"
Apart from herself, Aina would still get a bit temperamental when she saw Ai Xue getting close to Luo Xi, even knowing that the relationship between them was undeniably the closest kind.
But Wei’er knew that more than the usual jealousy, Aina was actually more afraid of being rejected or abandoned by Luo Xi.
If she and her mother were the pillars that the child relied on to survive, then Luo Xi was the one who had completely drawn her out of the confusion about her future life, inspiring her with infinite yearning for the distant world.
But on second thought.
Those currently gathered around Luo Xi.
Isn’t that the same for everyone?
Luo Xi was already scampering towards the door with his short legs.
As he was leaving, Liya, who was outside the door, looked deeply at Luo Xi with her gem-like violet pupils, her beautiful face lowered, and from her red lips came a cold voice:
"Wait until three months later, in mid-July when Aina comes of age, the three of you should get engaged together."
"Huh?"
Luo Xi stopped in his tracks, looking up at his ’mother-in-law’ with a bewildered expression.
In the boy’s eyes, there was immense confusion.
"What, after toying with my daughters’ feelings, you want to turn your back on them?"
Liya spoke indifferently, "Or do you think you have too many girls around you? So you don’t want to get engaged to the two of them? To fulfill your promises to them? Are you even a man? Let’s not talk about Wei’er, I know that two years ago in Winter City, you had already convinced Aina that she would marry no one but you."
"No, it’s not like that, I didn’t think that way."
With such a heavy accusation from Liya capsizing his mind into mush, Luo Xi could only frantically wave his hands in denial.
Every son-in-law in the world tends to react similarly when faced with the ’pressure’ of a formidable mother-in-law.
"That’s settled, then. I’ll send you straight to Aina. That child has been waiting for you for two years, don’t disappoint her."
Liya didn’t give Luo Xi any chance to speak further.
She snapped her fingers.
The teleportation ring of the Dusk Divine Tree formed beneath Luo Xi’s feet and swallowed him up.

Dusk City, the Sunset City Walls.
This was a wonderful spot Aina had discovered in her two years here.
From here, one could watch the setting sun. As the sun dipped below the horizon, it bathed the entire sky in a picturesque shade of red.
At this moment, Aina sat at the edge of the city wall, fiddling with her tail, large tears incessantly pouring from her eyes, wetting the fur on her tail.
"Is that a Mutant Patient?" A guard spotted Aina on the city wall.
"Do not approach; that’s the City Owner’s daughter. We can’t handle big-shots like her," another guard who knew of Aina stopped him.
The guards dared not get close and could only stay away from there.
But the sight of the girl crying was distressing to behold.
"Aina, why are you here?"
A childlike voice emerged from behind the Wolf Eared Lolita.
Aina’s body trembled slightly.
Behind her, the sound of soft footsteps approached, and a thin figure came and sat next to her, both feet hanging off the city wall.
"Aina, are you angry?"
"Not angry, why would Aina be angry, Aina has no reason to be angry," Aina averted her head, sneaking a hand to her face to wipe away the tear streaks, muttering, "After all, Aina is just a woman of the past, Luo Xi brother has sister now, not needing Aina isn’t a problem, you should get married and have kids quickly, let Aina take care of your children, then Aina can also have peace of mind,"
Luo Xi’s mouth twitched.
She was acting like an old mother.
Talking and talking, Aina stood up, placing both hands behind her head, pretending to be relieved, and said, "Ah well, it’s been over two years, Aina has grown up, no longer that little brat from before, it’s time to step out of the lovely illusions of love, Luo Xi brother such a heartthrob, let’s leave him to sister and the others—ah!"
The Wolf Eared Lolita was caught off guard as the tail behind her was grabbed by Luo Xi.
Luo Xi gently stroked the damp part of the tail.
"Then why are you crying?"
"Aina wasn’t crying! This is... this is just sweat from exercising!" The wolf-eared Lolita stubbornly explained.
"Oh, it’s sweat." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Yes, sweat, and Brother Luo Xi, let go of me already. It’s enough for you to have a sister; go back to your sister or that fox spirit Feya with a bunch of tails!"
"I’m not looking for them; I came for you, Aina," said Luo Xi.
Aina (〃＞﹏＜〃) said, "What’s the use of finding Aina? Sister Wei’er is already enough to satisfy you, Brother. And there’s Ai Xue and Feya; they are all so powerful. Aina is like a vase, of no use, and will eventually be discarded by Brother!"
"I will never get tired of you."
"I don’t believe it, you bad Brother Luo Xi! Aina was the first one here, and the first to be confessed to by you. But then the fox spirit Ai Xue sneaked in, and more and more women followed. By the time Aina finally grew up, you became distant to Aina, bad!"
"So this is what you really think of me," Luo Xi said.
Luo Xi released his grip and turned his head towards the distance, a fiery dragon shadow flickering unstably upon him.
In an instant, his form completed a transformation, and a giant dragon, dozens of meters long, appeared atop the city wall.
The giant dragon flew away at a breathtaking speed and soon vanished from Aina’s sight.
"That—"
Aina raised her hand towards the direction the dragon had flown, her lips parting slightly.
Why did he just leave?
"Brother Luo Xi, don’t go, Aina didn’t mean it like that..."
A sense of extreme panic began to grow in the girl’s heart.
She was just trying to throw a little tantrum.
If Brother Luo Xi really excluded her because of this...
The wolf-eared Lolita helplessly knelt on the city ramparts, her tea gold eyes gradually losing their luster.
"Aina really didn’t mean it like that..."
Suddenly, a warm breeze started blowing beside her.
The young Luo Xi appeared beside her, looking at her with a surprised expression, and asked, "Why are you crying again?"
And you said you had grown up, but you’re still a crybaby, huh.
"Brother!"
Aina lunged forward, stuffing him into her embrace, and sobbed, "What Aina said earlier was just out of anger. Aina likes you the most, Brother, always, always has, Aina wants to like you more than Sister!"
Luo Xi struggled to extricate his head from the soft bosom of the wolf-eared lady and said helplessly, "Well, I wasn’t serious, so stop crying. I’ve brought you something; can you give me your hand?"
"Hand?"
"Right."
Aina let go of Luo Xi, wiped her tear-streaked face, and extended her hand to him.
A cool sensation appeared on the middle finger of her left hand.
"There."
"?"
Aina lifted her hand and saw that there was now a... ring on her finger?
Luo Xi said with a smile, "This is an engagement ring. I’ll give it to you in advance, Aina. Your sister doesn’t even have one."
"Engagement?!"
"Yes, don’t you want to..."
Luo Xi pondered and said, "Then should I take it back first?"
"No, Aina does! Aina really does want it!"
Aina quickly pulled her hand back, fearful that Luo Xi might grab it.
A feeling of immense happiness washed away the despair and helplessness that had just begun to rise.
Is this the happiness Sister has felt?
Ten minutes later.
Wei’er furrowed her brows, looking at the two who had returned, clinging to each other.
Although I told you to bring Aina back with a laugh.
But you’ve gotten way too... close, haven’t you!
And, on the hand of your own sister, isn’t there something shiny?
.....
Before officially starting the Dragon Lady arc, let’s write a bit about the heroines’ daily lives—this time it’s Aina’s turn to take the stage.
There’s also something I need to mention, meow; I might need to take a break for two days at the end of the National Day holiday to go on a trip with my classmates, meow.
