Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 43 What are you doing?

After a quick check and confirming that Jiang's mother was simply drunk, Huo Yuhao looked up at Jiang Nannan, who had a worried expression on her face, and gave her an awkward yet polite smile.

"Auntie's alcohol tolerance is really something."

Jiang Nannan breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but suppress the urge to laugh. As she cleared the dishes off the table, she said in a low voice.

"Thank you so much for your help today. I'll take care of things here. Could you please carry my mom to the bedroom? It's cold, and I'm worried she'll catch a cold sleeping here."

"no problem."

Huo Yuhao didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement.

Now, with his current physical condition, he can easily lift an adult, let alone Jiang's mother, who isn't particularly heavy.

He picked up Jiang's mother and gently asked Jiang Nannan.

Which bedroom?

"The one on the left."

Jiang Nannan wiped the table with a rag and said without looking up.

"Just put it on the bed, I'll take care of the rest later."

"OK."

The weather in Tiandou City was rather cold. Jiang's mother was wearing a cashmere coat that looked very warm. Huo Yuhao noticed that her originally fair neck and cheeks were now flushed with a faint pink, perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol.

Huo Yuhao hadn't taken two steps when he felt Jiang's mother's tightly closed eyelids tremble slightly from the bumpy ride. Her rosy lips became even more vibrant and alluring, and she occasionally exhaled hot breath that brushed against Huo Yuhao's neck, causing goosebumps to rise on his body instinctively.

"It's hot."

Just as her senses began to return, Jiang's mother felt an indescribable heat in her body. She subconsciously shifted her body, startling Huo Yuhao, who immediately stopped.

To prevent the other person from slipping, he had to hug them tighter.

Jiang Nannan, who was behind her, clearly heard the murmur as well. A blush rose to her cheeks, and she subconsciously quickened her pace of wiping the table.

As they got closer, Huo Yuhao's soft breath brushed against Jiang's mother's face, and for some reason, she actually stopped twisting her body.

But the next second, Huo Yuhao saw Jiang's mother gently raise her hand and place it on the button of her cashmere coat.

With a crisp click as a button was undone, the headlights, tightly bound by the gray vest, looked ready to burst out. Having lost the help of one of its teammates, the other buttons could only struggle more and more to pull the fabric on both sides, making a final effort to protect their owner.

However, their owners don't seem to think that way.

After Jiang's mother unbuttoned one button, her jade-like hands unconsciously groped up and down her chest, skillfully unbuttoning the other buttons one by one. In just a moment, her voluptuous figure, which made her tight vest bulge, was fully revealed to Huo Yuhao.

A faint fragrance wafted from the slightly low neckline of the vest, mingling with the faint smell of alcohol emanating from Tan's mouth, and entered Huo Yuhao's nostrils. He could only grit his teeth and quicken his pace.

However, Jiang's mother seemed to think it wasn't enough. She reached into her vest with one hand, and after a rustling sound, a crisp snapping sound rang in his ears, like the last mournful cry of a knight guarding the princess before his death.

As the last restraints were released, an indescribable sense of comfort washed over her. Jiang's mother parted her lips slightly and couldn't help but let out a very soft moan.

She curled up slightly, snuggling closer to Huo Yuhao. The soft touch washed over her chest like ripples of water, and a deep, unfathomable cleavage seemed to absorb all the light in the world.

Huo Yuhao felt like he was about to break down. He struggled into the bedroom. Fortunately, Jiang Nannan had already tidied up the bedding when he got back, so he didn't need to do anything else.

After pulling back the blanket with one hand, Huo Yuhao bent down and laid Jiang's mother flat on the bed. As soon as he got up, Jiang's mother, who had been separated from his embrace, frowned slightly and subconsciously reached out her arms to hug his neck.

The most intimate restraints seemed to have shifted position during the earlier jolts, and Huo Yuhao could now see them clearly even through the gray vest.

Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. If he hadn't instinctively braced himself on the bed with his hand, his head would probably be buried in the mattress by now.

What should we do?!

He suddenly realized that his proposed alcohol therapy was a mistake.

"Auntie, Auntie, wake up."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's call, Jiang's mother's tightly closed eyes trembled, and she finally slowly opened them under the boy's expectant gaze.

"Yuhao?"

Her hazy eyes regained some clarity when she saw the boy in front of her. She opened her mouth slightly, and the call that came from her throat was a little hoarse, but it carried an unusual gentleness.

"Auntie, how are you feeling?"

"I feel a little dizzy."

Jiang's mother spoke very slowly and in a daze. After a while, she spoke again, belatedly asking a question.

Am I drunk?

"Okay, Auntie, please let go of me for a moment. I'll go make you some hangover tea. Drinking alcohol might not be the best way to help you sober up."

As Huo Yuhao spoke, he tried to break free from Jiang's mother's arms. However, Jiang's mother, who was drunk, didn't think that much. She thought he was blaming herself for being drunk, so she subconsciously tightened her grip, bringing Huo Yuhao even closer to her chest.

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

This isn't a question of whether it's strange or not!

Whether it was due to the atmosphere or because he was tired from holding on, Huo Yuhao's breathing became increasingly heavy, slapping against Jiang's mother's face and causing her body temperature to rise.

Jiang's mother gently bit her lower lip, her face flushed an unnatural red, and she haphazardly stroked Huo Yuhao's hair at the back of his head, as if she were enduring something.

Even so, the sound squeezed out from between his teeth was as soft as ever.

"Next time, just drink less."

Numbed by alcohol, Jiang's mother's sense of shame seemed to have completely vanished. Instead, she found the feeling of floating on air quite wonderful, and Huo Yuhao's hot breath caused her body temperature to rise continuously...

A thought suddenly popped into her mind—wasn't this treatment very effective?

The moment this thought arose, Jiang's mother's mind began to slide uncontrollably into the abyss. Her throat bobbed slightly, and she subconsciously looked into the boy's azure eyes.

"Yuhao, why don't you stay here tonight?"

".?"

Unaware that Jiang's mother's confused mind was starting to think from a strange angle, Huo Yuhao felt a little dazed.

What happened?

Why did things turn out this way?

Before he could even process what was happening, Jiang's mother's voice, filled with strange emotions, rang out again.

"I feel like this will help the aftereffects heal faster."

Is that right?

Huo Yuhao's lips parted, but he didn't know what to say. Just then, accompanied by the approaching sound of footsteps, Jiang Nannan's concerned voice slowly rang out.

"Yuhao, what happened to my mother?"

The next second, as if time had stopped, Jiang Nannan's voice abruptly stopped, and the entire room fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Looking at everything before her, Jiang Nannan's mind went blank for a moment.

A beautiful woman, disheveled and flushed, was lying on the bed, her arms wrapped around the neck of a young boy. The shock that such a bizarre scene brought to Jiang Nannan was unimaginable.

Most importantly, the beautiful woman was still hers.

The strange emotions she had felt after witnessing Huo Yuhao treating her mother resurfaced and spread rapidly through Jiang Nannan's heart at a morbid pace.

As if clinging to the last glimmer of hope, Jiang Nannan asked in a somewhat bewildered tone.

"What are you doing?"
