Chapter 3

The events at the contract ceremony that day ultimately spread out.

The rumor that Jue Ming once asserted I was infertile became even more rampant.

Many in the Dragon Clan had different opinions about it.

"No matter what, Jue Ming and Hua Ying are childhood sweethearts. He wouldn't slander a dragon on purpose."

"Our Dragon Clan naturally covets treasure and beauty. Who knows what Hua Ying might have done in private?"

"A dragon that can't bear children—no wonder Jue Ming chose Qing Dai. Even if Qing Dai is just a black dragon, she's still better than an infertile yellow dragon."

"You can't say that. Jue Ming is Jue Ming, Hua Ying is Hua Ying. Who can prove Hua Ying is infertile?"

"If you ask me, even if Hua Ying can bear children, she's wasted in this life."

"How so?"

"That Bai Zhu is a black dragon, after all. Hua Ying, a yellow dragon, actually got together with a black dragon. The dragon eggs will definitely not rank high! Even if she was doing it to spite Jue Ming, she shouldn't have chosen a black dragon."

"Hmph, in that situation, no other dragon would take her anyway."

...

All kinds of gossip.

When Bai Zhu heard these rumors, he looked at me with great concern.

I knew what he was worried about.

I firmly said, "Don't worry. I won't be swayed by those rumors outside. Just, are you truly willing to trust me and not those outside rumors?"

Bai Zhu nodded immediately, without hesitation.

"Of course, I trust sister. Besides, I'm just a black dragon. It's fine as long as sister doesn't mind me."

The green tea dragon's green tea skills are getting thicker and thicker.

I couldn't help but laugh.

But then, a gradually dangerous glint shimmered in my eyes.

The reason the rumors spread so widely must have someone behind the scenes fanning the flames, obvious upon a thought.

After being reborn, Jue Ming indeed doesn't want me to have a single good day.

But in the end, he's bound to be disappointed.

"Sister, are you alright?" Just as I was thinking this, a sudden voice came from outside.

Qing Dai walked in, fidgeting nervously.

But I could see the glint of victory in her eyes.

She said, half pitying, half boasting, "Sister, I'm not saying this to criticize you, but as female dragons, we ought to be well-behaved."

"If you didn't mess around with other dragons, brother Jue Ming wouldn't have abandoned you."

"You've always overshadowed me since we were young. You are a yellow dragon, but I'm just a lowly black dragon. But you take advantage of being a yellow dragon, and that's why you're so indiscreet!"

"Fortunately, brother Jue Ming has a discerning eye and wasn't deceived by you."

She spoke mockingly, her face wearing the blissful smile of a victor.

Seeing me fall silent, Qing Dai continued, "Whatever, I know you're feeling bad, so just live well with this black dragon in the future, and don't do those absurd things anymore."

"Oh right, almost forgot."

While speaking, Qing Dai took out an invitation and lightly placed it in front of me.

She had an extremely happy smile on her face.

"My wedding with brother Jue Ming is next month."

"Sister, remember to come, and oh, this... brother-in-law too."

The word "brother-in-law" was said by Qing Dai with extreme sarcasm.

After flaunting her victory, she left with satisfaction. I looked at the invitation on the table, but the smile on my lips grew even more derisive.

Does Qing Dai really think her good days have come?

That scumbag dragon Jue Ming—in my previous life, if I hadn't been deceived by those years of childhood affection, I wouldn't have spared him a second glance.

I meant to give Qing Dai a heads-up, but she so eagerly rushed into it.

She even came to my face to flaunt a happiness that never existed.

Since that's the case, I'll congratulate her on gaining her happiness.

In my past life, Qing Dai's husband was also a black dragon, but they were extremely lucky to have conceived two healthy yellow dragon babies.

And in this life, we'll just have to wait and see.
