Chapter 1034: Chapter 262: The Flower of Unrequited Love

"Seeing how uneasy you just were, you really looked cute, it was as though we were back in the old days. You should be like this more often. Always having a stern face isn’t fun. When was the last time you smiled so adorably? I can barely remember," Cui Beixi chuckled.

Richard was once again stupefied.

What’s this? Like Mourinho in his early days? Could it be that my momentary lapse was misinterpreted by the enchanting snake charming tutor as a youthful sentiment of Mourinho? Richard secretly rejoiced.

"I know I shouldn’t have pressured you," the snake charming tutor suddenly sighed melancholically, her hands tearing at the bed’s lace drapes.

This action was slightly neurotic, and Richard guessed that Cui Beixi had some unspeakable thoughts to share.

"Milani’s coughing up blood has been going on for so many years, it’s neither your fault nor mine. Previously, you could use her illness as an excuse to keep rejecting me, but today, your affair with Ice Phoenix has become public. The second and third sons are gone, you cannot let Ice Phoenix lose her standing too. But... but have you ever thought about me? What should I do? You cannot favor one over the other... I... I don’t have another seventeen years to wait..." The snake charming tutor finished in one breath, her face blushing deeply, the lace in her hands twisted into a tangled mess.

".................."

"Why don’t you speak?" Cui Beixi waited a long time for a response, then lifted her head, her eyes holding a ghostly resentment reminiscent of a phantom that haunts the lake, and she fixed her gaze on Richard.

What could Richard say now?

After a brief filtering of the snake charming tutor’s just-spoken words, his still unsorted brain drew several straightforward conclusions:

One: Mourinho’s first wife, the former beauty of the Swan Tribe, Milani, seems to have been suffering from coughing up blood for a long time now, which, in old Richard’s view, is likely a disease like tuberculosis.

Two: Milani seems to care a lot about her husband and is not willing to share him with others. This could be glimpsed from the attitudes of Gortani and Golinny earlier, and also hinted at by the snake charming tutor’s words. Given Milani’s serious illness, Mourinho probably also did not dare to upset her, thus always sneaking around.

Three: Mourinho’s affair with Ice Phoenix was probably very secretive before, but it now seems to have become public. At least Richard had heard it mentioned by two beauties from Caiyu City. This might have been caused by Master Puskas’s mischief. After Richard and Mourinho’s complete fallout, he did not rush to leave the Bimon Kingdom but instead went back to mediate with Mourinho. In a moment of anger, the Swan High Priest may have miscalculated and failed to clear the scene, exposing the affair.

Four: By monopolizing Ice Phoenix’s twin sons, Ice Phoenix, longing for her children, cried her days away. Mourinho, unable to do anything, had to create a balance by promising Ice Phoenix a status, which was a sort of consolation prize—this would probably require Milani’s agreement, which might be a bit difficult.

Five: Seeing Ice Phoenix gaining status, the snake charming tutor felt psychologically unbalanced. Chronologically, the first one to develop feelings for Mourinho might have been Cui Beixi. Since Ice Phoenix was granted a status, it indeed seemed unfair that Cui Beixi, the deeply infatuated first love, did not receive any; thus, she too started demanding equal treatment from Mourinho.

"I... I..." Richard stuttered like a jammed machine gun, stumbling over his words and unable to make any coherent point.

He could bluff through other situations, but this was far too personal. Even with his boldness and carefree attitude, Richard dared not recklessly use Mourinho’s identity to blurt out anything! This was about someone’s lifelong happiness!

"I know you hurried off from Sabak yesterday because you were afraid I would push you to take a stand..." the snake charming tutor sighed, rose gracefully, and stared at Richard’s panicked eyes: "Jose, since you decided to fight for Ice Phoenix’s status, why didn’t you include me too? Why? Why do you become anxious and look around nervously whenever I bring up this matter? Is it really that hard to give me a straight answer? Why can’t you let me just give up hope?"

Richard collapsed!

It turned out that Mourinho’s departure from Sabak yesterday wasn’t due to his busy schedule, but rather because the snake charming tutor was pressing him for a status! Richard hadn’t expected—hadn’t expected that he would get a chance to impersonate Mourinho, ultimately facilitated by Mourinho himself.

"Nico, don’t be hasty..." Richard scratched his head incessantly, his rambling broke off halfway and couldn’t continue, his words stuck at this point. Richard really didn’t know how to play his part further; his usual tactics with girls either involved acting cool or being tender and caring, he was inexperienced in handling such major crises!

"’Don’t be hasty’?" Cui Beixi gave a miserable smile, her eyes filled with a heart-wrenchingly visible disappointment, and tears silently rolled down the cheeks of the snake charming tutor, "Jose, how many years have you been saying this to me? Do I need much? All I need is a status that everyone can recognize, that everyone knows. Do you know how envious I am when I see Helen leaning against Richard, looking so blissfully happy? If you can’t do it, at least let me give up hope, can’t you?"
