237: Chapter 237 Then why are you blushing?

The morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, gilding everything in a layer of gold.

Wang Yaqin stood by the window, gazing at the busy Female Warriors within the Shelter, her brows furrowed tightly.

As the mother of Ye Qingxue and Ye Qingyue, she had recently been troubled by one question.

That was—both of her daughters had already become Lin Yuan's women.

And herself...

"Sigh..."

Wang Yaqin sighed softly, her face filled with a complex expression.

She was in her early thirties, but she was extremely well-maintained, looking only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

Her oval face featured delicate features, and her eyes and brows exuded the unique charm of a mature woman.

Her figure was also remarkably well-kept, and she wore a light purple dress that fully displayed her elegant temperament.

As a former wealthy socialite, her temperament and manners exuded a sense of noble elegance.

But whenever she thought of Lin Yuan, her heart would involuntarily beat faster.

That night, she had gathered the courage to confess to Lin Yuan, but retreated at the last moment due to guilt over her late husband.

Lin Yuan did not force her, but instead gently understood her predicament.

This made her even more attracted to him, yet also more miserable.

"Mom, are you thinking about Lin Yuan again?"

Ye Qingxue pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing her mother's dazed expression, a teasing smile curled the corners of her lips.

"Qingxue! You... don't talk nonsense!"

Wang Yaqin's face turned bright red instantly, and she denied it in a panic.

"Mom~ your face is already red, and you still say no?"

Ye Qingxue walked over and took her mother's arm:

"I've told you so many times, if you like him, just pursue him boldly!"

"I... how could I..."

Wang Yaqin stopped mid-sentence, her expression pained.

"Mom!"

Ye Qingxue interrupted her:

"Dad is already gone; you can't live in the past forever!"

"And I believe that Dad's spirit in heaven would also want you to be happy."

"But..."

"No buts!"

Ye Qingxue looked at her mother seriously:

"Mom, do you know how many women in the Shelter want to become Lin Yuan's women?"

"If you hesitate any longer, you really won't have a chance!"

Wang Yaqin bit her lip, complex emotions surging within her heart.

Just then, the door was pushed open again.

Ye Qingyue skipped in, a sweet smile on her face.

"Mom! Sister! What are you two talking about?"

But when she saw how intimate her mother and sister were, a dangerous light flashed in her eyes.

"You two... you wouldn't be discussing Brother Lin Yuan, would you?"

Ye Qingyue's voice turned cold:

"Sister, you wouldn't be trying to incite Mom to pursue Brother Lin Yuan too, would you?"

"Qingyue, you're overthinking it..."

Ye Qingxue just wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Ye Qingyue.

"I am not overthinking it!"

Ye Qingyue suddenly became agitated, her eyes flashing with a crazy light:

"Brother Lin Yuan is mine! No one can take him!"

"Even Mom can't!"

"Qingyue!"

Wang Yaqin was frightened by her daughter's words:

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!"

Ye Qingyue's expression became twisted:

"Mom, you don't know how important Brother Lin Yuan is to me!"

"He is my everything! My whole world!"

"Whoever dares to take him away, I will make them disappear!"

The atmosphere in the room instantly froze.

Wang Yaqin and Ye Qingxue were both so frightened by Ye Qingyue's words that they couldn't speak.

Just then, a deep voice came from the doorway:

"Qingyue, what madness are you spouting again?"

The three of them turned their heads simultaneously and saw Lin Yuan leaning against the doorframe, looking at them with a half-smile.

"Brother Lin Yuan!"

Ye Qingyue's expression instantly changed from cold to sweet, as if she were a different person:

"Why did you come?"

"I came to see you."

Lin Yuan walked into the room, his gaze sweeping over the three of them:

"But as soon as I reached the door, I heard someone wanting to make others disappear?"

"I... I didn't..."

Ye Qingyue explained in a panic, her face full of guilt.

"No?"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, walked up to Ye Qingyue, and looked down at her:

"Qingyue, have you forgotten what I said?"

"What... what words?"

"I said that all the women in the Shelter are mine."

Lin Yuan's tone was calm, yet carried an unquestionable authority:

"Including your mother, including your sister, including you."

"You are all my people; no one is allowed to hurt anyone."

"Do you understand?"

Ye Qingyue was so overwhelmed by Lin Yuan's presence that she couldn't breathe, her little face flushed red.

"I... I understand..."

She lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz:

"I'm sorry, Brother Lin Yuan, I shouldn't have spoken nonsense..."

"It's good that you know you were wrong."

Lin Yuan reached out and ruffled Ye Qingyue's hair:

"If I hear this kind of talk again, I won't let you off so easily."

"Mm... I know..."

Ye Qingyue nodded obediently, the madness in her eyes completely gone, replaced by adoration and dependence on Lin Yuan.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yaqin and Ye Qingxue both breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Lin Yuan could suppress Ye Qingyue's yandere tendencies.

"Sister Yaqin."

Lin Yuan suddenly turned to Wang Yaqin, his gaze burning:

"I heard you've been troubled by something lately?"

"I... I didn't..."

Wang Yaqin shook her head in a panic, her face as red as a ripe apple.

"Is that so?"

Lin Yuan walked up to her and leaned in closer:

"Then why are you blushing?"

"I... I..."

Wang Yaqin's heart was beating so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest; she couldn't speak at all.

"Mom likes you!"

Ye Qingyue suddenly shouted from the side:

"She thinks about you every day! She even calls your name when she sleeps at night!"

"Qingyue!"

Wang Yaqin was so embarrassed she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Lin Yuan's lips curled into a playful smile:

"Sister Yaqin, what do you dream about me at night?"

"No... nothing! Qingyue is just talking nonsense!"

Wang Yaqin denied it in a panic, but her flushed cheeks had already betrayed her.

"Mom, just stop pretending."

Ye Qingxue also chimed in from the side:

"You like Lin Yuan, we all know it."

"Instead of torturing yourself like this, you might as well just tell him."

"Qingxue! You... how could you also..."

Wang Yaqin was betrayed by her two daughters working together, and she was too embarrassed to speak.

Lin Yuan looked at her embarrassed appearance and chuckled:

"Sister Yaqin, I said, I won't force you."

"But..."

He leaned into Wang Yaqin's ear, his voice low and magnetic:

"If you've figured things out, you can come to me at any time."

"My door is always open for you."

This sentence made Wang Yaqin tremble all over, her heartbeat accelerating to the extreme.

Lin Yuan looked at her reaction with satisfaction and turned to walk toward the door.

"Oh, right."

He stopped at the door and looked back at the three of them:

"Everyone come to the command room in a while; there is an important matter to announce."

"What matter?"

Ye Qingxue asked.

"The zombie horde is coming."

Lin Yuan's tone was indifferent, as if he were talking about the weather today:

"The scale is ten times that of the last time, and the leader is an SSS-level Zombie King."

"What?!"

The three of them exclaimed simultaneously.

"Don't worry."

Lin Yuan's lips curled into a confident smile:

"No matter how many come, they are just serving themselves up as food."

"You just need to do your own jobs."

After saying this, he left without looking back.

Leaving only the three women looking at each other, complex emotions surging in their hearts.

"Mom, did you see that?"

Ye Qingyue's eyes flashed with fanatical light:

"Brother Lin Yuan is so handsome! Facing such a huge crisis, he can still be so calm!"

"I love him more and more!"

"Qingyue, calm down..."

Ye Qingxue helplessly covered her forehead.

While Wang Yaqin clutched her chest, her heartbeat unable to calm down for a long time.

Lin Yuan's words from just now kept echoing in her mind.

"My door is always open for you..."

She bit her lip, and a decision was made in her heart.

Perhaps... it was time to let go of the past.

"Let's go, let's go to the command room."

Wang Yaqin took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down:

"No matter what happens, we must stand by Lin Yuan's side."

"Mm!"

The two daughters responded in unison.

No matter what knots existed between mother and daughter, in the face of crisis, they had to be temporarily put aside.

Now, the most important thing was to defend the Shelter.
