After Old Mi had left, Zu An wondered to himself how he was going to deal with all of this.
Suddenly, an elegant fragrance wafted over. He turned around and saw Chu Chuyan was standing there, a cold expression on her face.
“What are you doing here, dear wife?” This was a happy surprise! It was rare for her to come looking for him.
Chu Chuyan was just too gorgeous. Just looking at her once a day would be enough to keep his bad mood away.
“I heard that you didn’t come home last night.” Chu Chuyan swept her eyes over him, her gaze landing on his clothes. She seemed to be looking for something.
Zu An nodded. “Wang Yuanlong invited me out yesterday. Wei Suo drank too much during the party and needed someone to send him home. When we got there, he vomited all over me, so I washed up there. By the time I was done, it was already very late, soo I spent the night there.”
“Oh.” Chu Chuyan said no more, and turned around to leave.
You have successfully trolled Chu Chuyan for 233 Rage points!
Zu An was completely baffled. Why the heck are you getting angry at me?
He rarely got any Rage points from her. Even when he did, it would be two digits at most. Her temper seemed to be getting worse recently, for whatever reason.
A thought suddenly occurred to him. He laughed and said, “Wife, did you wait up for me all night last night?”
Chu Chuyan’s body went rigid. A trace of red spread across her neck. However, she scoffed and replied straight away, “Pui! You wish.”
She quickened her steps and ran off.
Zu An’s smile grew even bigger, but it was quickly replaced by a frown. He’d given up a night with his lovely wife just because of Old Mi’s stupid mission. Oh the sacrifices that had been made!
After breakfast, Cheng Shouping urged Zu An to go to the academy. This was his responsibility as a study companion.
Zu An was in a gloomy mood. Having to attend school everyday really was a bother.
The amount of stuff he could learn from the academy was limited. After all, he hadn’t learned any of his best techniques at the academy. Whether he went or not didn’t make much of a difference to him in terms of knowledge.
Unfortunately, he was a teacher at the academy. It didn’t matter if a student skipped classes once in a while, but a teacher was held to a very different standard.
He’d already stayed away from the academy for many days earlier on. If not for his relationship with Jiang Luofu, he would’ve long been stripped of his status as a teacher.
I need to find a chance to ask that gorgeous principal if I can keep the privileges of a teacher without needing to fulfill a teacher’s responsibilities. Zu An’s mind was obsessed over this matter. It seemed like a perfectly reasonable request to him. After all, most of the advancements in society only came about because people were lazy.
Chu Huanzhao was already waiting by the entrance of the estate. She flew into a rage when she saw him. “Stinky brother-in-law! You went out and had fun without me again!”
You have successfully trolled Chu Huanzhao for 23… 23… 23…
Zu An laughed in embarrassment. “I was invited out for drinks. You can’t even drink! Wouldn’t your mom and your sister kill me if I’d brought you with me?”
“But… you can’t just go off without saying anything!” Chu Huanzhao was still upset. She’d waited happily for him after class the day before, but the only one who appeared was Cheng Shouping with his dumb face.
“Okay, okay, I won’t do it again,” Zu An replied immediately.
Chu Huanzhao looked at him doubtfully. “Did you leave me behind on purpose because I ruined your relationship with Ji Xiaoxi?”
Zu An put his hand over her mouth at once. He looked all around, and then exhaled in relief when he saw that no one was paying attention. “Lower your voice! You’re a woman, so you need to learn to behave more gracefully! You can’t go around gossiping so loudly…”
Chu Huanzhao snorted. “Yeah, yeah, I’m not as graceful as your Ji Xiaoxi.”
This kid really is cute… The way she puffed her cheeks greatly amused him. He couldn’t help but give them a pinch.
Chu Huanzhao was just about to say something, but the sudden pinch made all the air leak out of her. Her harsh criticism was reduced to an indecipherable mumbling.
Chu Huanzhao smacked his hand away and glared at him. “Smelly brother-in-law!”
Zu An grew depressed. You can get angry all you want, but where are my Rage points?!
It seems like being too close to her isn’t a good thing either. Should I turn her upside down and spank her to earn Rage points?
Jiao Shanhe, Feng Daniu, Zhou Lujin and the other guards whispered discreetly among themselves.
“The young master is always together with the second miss, and they are always touching each other as well. This isn’t good… right?”
“What the heck do you know? Our second young miss didn’t say anything herself, so why are you getting all worked up?”
“Obviously because I don’t want to be punished by the Madam for not stepping in to do something about this!”
A collective chill ran down their spines when Qin Wanru’s fierce and imposing figure appeared in their minds.
Cheng Shouping nudged his way over too. “Hehe, this is where all of you are wrong. Honestly, I feel like the second miss will belong to the young master sooner or later. If that happens, the Madam wouldn’t be able to lay blame on us anymore.”
The light of truth suddenly dawned on them.
“You make so much sense!”
“The young master is truly a model for all men!”
“I really need to find a chance to seek some proper guidance from him… I can’t even handle my woman at home.”
…
When they arrived at the academy, Chu Huanzhao suddenly cried out in surprise. She ran over to the uptight discipline master Lu De, who was standing by the entrance. “Huh? What happened to your eyes, Discipline Master?” she asked.
Lu De, who always emphasized the importance of appearance, actually had a black eye, as if someone had punched him.
However, his cultivation was at a high level, and he was normally a fierce character. Who would dare hit this man?
Lu De covered his left eye in embarrassment. “I bumped into the wall by accident when I got up from bed last night.”
“Oh my! Just how tough was that wall for our Discipline Master Lu to end up like this?” A mocking voice drifted over. Bai Susu was clearly delighted at Lu De’s misfortune.
“Is that any of your business? Can’t a man slip up once in a while?” Lu De fired back. He never got along with Bai Susu.
