People are writing diaries in Douluo, Bibi Dong is crazy about it

**Chapter 252: It's None of Your Business**

Finally, Liu Erlong couldn't resist Zhao Ling's persistent nagging. She obediently dressed and allowed him to help her out of the room.

When they reached the door, Zhao Ling opened it a crack and pointed toward Yu Luomian, asking, "Long'er, do you know the man selling maltose?"

Liu Erlong frowned, peering through the narrow opening. She quickly recognized the middle-aged man disguised as a vendor—it was her father.

After a brief glance at Zhao Ling, she tentatively asked, "Husband, that's my father. Are you purposely taking me to see him?"

Zhao Ling grinned teasingly and shook his head. "Of course not. I just thought you might want some maltose, so I figured I'd take you to buy some. What do you think?"

"Uh..." Liu Erlong hesitated. She wanted to refuse, but she knew all too well how narrow-minded her husband could be. Disobeying him would likely lead to more "punishment" later.

Reluctantly, she put on a bitter expression and replied timidly, "Do I have the right to refuse?"

Zhao Ling smirked. "What do you think? Long'er, they say even an ugly daughter-in-law must meet her parents eventually. As a handsome son-in-law, you don't think I'd avoid meeting my father-in-law, do you?"

Without waiting for an answer, Zhao Ling wrapped his arm around Liu Erlong's slender waist and pulled her head onto his shoulder. The couple appeared affectionate as Zhao Ling opened the mansion door.

Their appearance drew immediate attention. After all, Zhao Ling's residence was situated on one of the busiest streets in Tiandou Imperial City, bustling with shoppers.

Liu Erlong could feel all the gazes directed toward her and her husband, including her father's. She knew she had to maintain her composure.

Despite the discomfort in her legs and the inconvenience of her condition, she forced herself to walk steadily. If Father finds out… he'll go mad, she thought.

But keeping calm was easier said than done. Gritting her teeth, she followed Zhao Ling, though only she knew how difficult it was.

If she had known this would happen, she never would've encouraged her sisters to escape from home, even if it meant enduring punishment. Liu Erlong felt an overwhelming sense of regret. Now she is being tortured by her husband like this… how pitiful...

One thing gave her some relief. Since consuming the Celosia striata, her appearance and figure had changed drastically. Her once jet-black hair now gleamed a fiery red, and her scarlet eyes only added to her enchanting beauty.

Her father did not immediately recognize her, though he looked astonished. This allowed Liu Erlong to breathe a small sigh of relief.

As long as he doesn't recognize her, everything will be fine, she thought. If he does, she would rather find a block of tofu and smash her head against it.

But just as Liu Erlong started to relax, Zhao Ling leaned closer to her and said, "Erlong, you said you wanted some maltose, didn't you? How about I buy all of it for you?"

Zhao Ling spoke loudly, making no effort to lower his voice. Then he turned to Yu Luomian, dressed as a vendor.

"Hey, Uncle, how much for this load of maltose? I want to buy all of it. No need for a discount—I'm not short on money."

As he spoke, Zhao Ling reached out to caress Liu Erlong's waist and deliberately kissed her in full view of everyone, including Yu Luomian.

At first, Yu Luomian didn't recognize the woman in Zhao Ling's arms. But when Zhao Ling addressed her as "Erlong," Yu Luomian began studying her closely.

After a moment, he realized the woman bore a striking resemblance to his daughter—though her beauty had improved drastically. Her fiery red hair and eyes gave her an almost unrecognizable allure.

Yu Luomian's mind raced. It's her… How did this happen? How did she end up like this? More importantly, how did she end up with Zhao Ling?

Suddenly, a fiery rage rose in Yu Luomian's chest. His gaze burned with anger, and if looks could kill, Zhao Ling would have been reduced to ashes.

Liu Erlong also noticed her father's fury and felt bitter. She knew Zhao Ling had done this on purpose.

Ever since they became a couple, Zhao Ling had always called her "Long'er." But now, he deliberately called her "Erlong" to ensure her father would recognize her.

This bastard is as shameless as ever, Liu Erlong thought.

Sensing her father's piercing glare, Zhao Ling released Liu Erlong and turned to Yu Luomian with an innocent expression.

"Uncle, is something wrong? You still haven't answered my question. How much for the maltose? Or does your maltose not cost money? Why are you just staring at my wife?"

Zhao Ling added, "I suggest you stop having any strange thoughts about her. She only loves me, right, my dear wife?"

Yu Luomian was fuming. He threw off his hat and shouted, "It's none of my business? You're holding my daughter in your arms, and you say it's none of my business?"

Pretending to be surprised, Liu Erlong exclaimed, "Father, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Ling also feigned surprise. "Father? Long'er, you mean this is your father? Didn't you tell me your father was the second head of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family? How has he fallen to selling maltose on the streets?"
