Chapter 506: Chapter 506 Voluntary Chapter 506: Chapter 506 Voluntary “Dad, Mom, how did you get here?”

Long Haoguang got up, looking somewhat frail, but it didn’t seem serious.

“You look fine to me, Second Brother!” Zhong Niangyao raised an eyebrow and spoke up, “Why are you so anxious then?”

“Niangyao, you really need to help my Second Brother.” Long Jiarui grasped Zhong Niangyao’s hand, explaining, “That’s right, normally, my Second Brother seems quite alright, even if he is a bit weak, but there aren’t any other issues, so at first, none of us took it to heart.”

“But later on, things started to get weird. Sometimes, my Second Brother would fall into a coma out of the blue, and no amount of calling would wake him up. Then, after two days, he’d wake up on his own.”

“So how many times has he fallen into a coma in total?” Zhong Niangyao directly asked.

“Three times.”

At this moment, Long Haoguang also noticed Zhong Niangyao’s presence, with a hint of confusion on his face.

“Second Brother, this is Niangyao, my friend.”

Long Jiarui smiled as she introduced her, and after a moment of thought, added, “Also, she’s here today specifically to help you out.”

Originally, when Long Haoguang heard that she was Long Jiarui’s friend, his expression was quite good, even smiling. But after hearing the latter part of Long Jiarui’s words, the smile instantly vanished.

“I’m fine.” Long Haoguang frowned, then turned to look at Long Yunfeng and Zhao Rongrong, emphasizing again, “Dad, Mom, I’ve already said it so many times, I really am fine, why can’t you believe me?”

“Besides, during this time, you’ve brought in so many people to see me already. If there really was a problem, it would have been found out by now.”

Long Yunfeng and Zhao Rongrong exchanged glances and saw helplessness in each other’s eyes.

“Scared?” Zhong Niangyao smiled slightly, her eyes that seemed to see through the world resting squarely on Long Haoguang, “Scared they’ll find out the truth?”

Under her gaze, Long Haoguang felt a moment of guilt, which quickly disappeared as he shook his head firmly, “I’m fine, there’s really no need for any examination.”

Having said this, he turned his head to look at Long Yunfeng and Zhao Rongrong, insisting, “Dad, Mom, I really am fine, and nothing will happen to me.”

Seeing Long Haoguang’s determination, Long Yunfeng and Zhao Rongrong found themselves in a difficult position.

“Second Brother, what exactly are you doing?” Long Jiarui, who was standing to the side, stomped her feet in frustration, “Don’t underestimate Niangyao because she’s young; she really is capable. Just now, she even did a reading for my sister-in-law downstairs. Now we know that she’s that kind of person.”

She absolutely believed in Zhong Niangyao, so if Zhong Niangyao said that Yu Manyun had had an abortion, then it was undoubtedly true. She never liked Yu Manyun, but never imagined she’d be such a two-faced person.

However, what mattered most now was her Second Brother’s situation. As for the affairs of her sister-in-law, once her Second Brother was better, there would be plenty of time to settle scores. She thought that when the time came, her parents would also have thoroughly investigated the sister-in-law’s situation.

“I’ve already said I’m fine.” Long Haoguang appeared somewhat irritated, “You all go out, please! I’m tired and want to rest for a bit.”

Seeing Long Haoguang’s demeanor, Long Jiarui became even more convinced that he truly had a problem.

Zhong Niangyao, watching the scene unfold before her, finally spoke up lazily, “He really believes that he’s fine because, after all, all of this was his own choice. There’s nothing more to be said.”

This statement elicited various expressions from those present.

The Long family was completely baffled, not understanding what Zhong Niangyao meant. But they started to realize one thing: Long Haoguang was fully aware of his current predicament, yet he had always been reluctant to change.

As for Long Haoguang, whether it was because his thoughts had been exposed or because he wasn’t feeling well, his complexion had become even paler.

And his reaction just confirmed Zhong Niangyao’s words.

Long Haoguang wanted to say something but was interrupted by Long Yunfeng.

He looked at Zhong Niangyao, straightforward but polite, “Lady Zhong, what exactly is wrong with my second son? We hope you can help take a look, and if you can resolve this issue, then the Long family will owe you a favor.”

Zhong Niangyao looked up at Long Haoguang, “Do you want to tell them, or shall I?”

Long Haoguang looked at Zhong Niangyao with a plea in his eyes.

However, Zhong Niangyao clearly had no intention of indulging him and spoke up directly, “You’re already married, and it’s a ghost marriage at that.”

At this revelation, everyone else present was shocked. Even though they didn’t understand what a ghost marriage was, the name alone sounded ominous.

“Lady Zhong, could you please explain in more detail?”

Zhong Niangyao nodded, not even glancing at Long Haoguang, and explained, “The reason he sometimes falls into an unprovoked coma is due to the decreasing yang energy within his body. This change is caused by the fact that he has committed to a ghost marriage.”

“To put it in layman’s terms, he’s married to a dead person. And if I’m not mistaken, this ghost marriage was initiated by him!”

Under normal circumstances, few living people would be willing to enter into a ghost marriage. After all, who would want to marry a dead person? Even if it’s just in name, such an event is impossible; everyone cherishes their own life.

Yet, this time is peculiar. From the moment she walked in, she had sensed it, and while initially uncertain, Long Haoguang’s behavior made everything clear to her.

“Ghost marriage?” Zhao Rongrong stepped forward, seizing Long Haoguang’s hand urgently, “Second son, tell me, is what Lady Zhong said true? Have you entered into a ghost marriage with anyone?”

“I–”

Long Haoguang wanted to shake his head in denial, but upon seeing Zhao Rongrong’s earnest gaze, he didn’t know how to respond. The lie he intended to say suddenly wouldn’t come out.

“True love is indeed powerful!” Zhong Niangyao’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “It’s just that this method is a bit too foolish.”

After saying so, she looked around and continued, “Since we’re all here, let’s have a meeting face-to-face! Even an ugly bride must eventually see her in-laws.”
