At the same time, he realized that Pei Mianman must’ve come looking for him today, and just happened to run into Qiu Honglei.
Sigh, it seems like having many women isn’t a good thing after all! What a pity that I wasn’t here when it happened… so many Rage points were wasted.
Old Mi suddenly appeared in front of him. He squinted at Zu An’s face from up close.
Zu An jumped in fright and hastily took a step back. “Elder, what’s wrong?”
I hope this old man doesn’t swing that way man… Why am I getting scared from his look?
“I was checking to see just what kind of charm you have. Even though you look all right, you’re not at a ridiculously high level. Why do so many girls like you?” Old Mi’s wrinkled face was full of confusion. “That young miss from the Pei clan and Lady Qiu have both seduced their fair share of men. Why would they care about you?”
“I’ll get upset if elder talks to me this way! Isn’t it because I am too charming?” Zu An said angrily.
“You’re too charming?” Old Mi sneered. “Where does this charm come from? From the fact that you are a drafted son-in-law? Or that your cultivation is ordinary? Or that you aren’t even a man?”
Zu An cursed inwardly. Aren’t you just a lonely old man without any female companionship? Don’t be jealous just because you see others having luck with the ladies.
Keeping his thoughts hidden, he smiled apologetically and said, “Elder is wise, after all. That young miss from the Pei clan merely wishes to obtain something from the Chu clan through me. And even though I don’t know what this Qiu Honglei’s objective is, I believe she is also scheming against the Chu clan. They obviously aren’t doing all of this because they like me.”
He had already deduced that this old man was up to no good, so he didn’t dare tell him the truth. He didn’t even dare tell him that he was already a man again.
Seems like I have to be careful even when I’m around my wife. I absolutely cannot let him know.
Fortunately, Chuyan was thin-skinned, and Qin Wanru wouldn’t go around yapping about this either. Otherwise, if this old man found out that he and Chuyan had consummated their marriage, he might just explode from anger.
“At least you are aware.” Old Mi snorted. “I’ve felt rather ill at ease recently. It feels like some great calamity is looming. You absolutely must take care of yourself.”
Zu An was stunned. Why the heck are you telling me to protect myself when you are expecting some big disaster?
Could it be that this guy really cherishes me like a nephew?
Old Mi revealed a terrifying smile, then turned around to leave.
Originally, he’d felt that having Pei Mianman and Qiu Honglei around would add too many variables. However, if these devastatingly beautiful women really did start some sort of relationship with Zu An, he would be the one benefitting from it in the future.
It had already been several hundred years, yet he had never had a taste of women. It seems like the heavens do have pity! Not only am I being compensated by having Chu Chuyan as my wife, I even have a few exceptional lovers.
Haha haha~
…
Zu An turned a few things over in his mind, then he fell asleep.
Something startled him awake in the middle of the night. He discovered that there was a sword pressed against his neck.
“Why is your reaction so much slower today?” That woman in the darkness scoffed in displeasure. In the faint moonlight, he saw her large chest rise and fall as she snorted.
“So it’s you, little Mianman~” Zu An laughed. This woman was always a delightful sight.
“Who else did you think it was? Were you thinking of Qiu Honglei?” Pei Mianman retracted her sword and frowned. “Don’t call me something that disgusting.”
Yeah, you’re right. I should’ve called you big Mianman.
“Right. I heard that you got into a fight with someone. Are you injured?” Zu An sat up, subconsciously about to examine her.
Pei Mianman’s face turned red. She backpedaled away from him and sat swiftly. “How could that bitch possibly injure me?”
As she said this, she subconsciously rubbed her chest. Even now, her final blow still hurt.
“Our heroine’s cultivation is outstanding after all! How can any random thief be your match…” Zu An praised her endlessly, a load of garbage coming out of his mouth.
Pei Mianman scoffed. “Hmph, I wonder how hurt that Qiu Honglei will be if she heard you call her a thief.”
Even though she’d left earlier, there was no way she would let the matter lie just like that. She had to at least figure out who that woman was.
“How can my relationship with her ever compare to my relationship with you? Of course I’ll stand by your side!” Zu An said with an innocent face.
“There’s no way I’ll believe a man’s lies! The two of you will definitely deceive me like the last time.” Despite her words, a hint of a smile returned to her face. “By the way, I came to warn you about another matter. You need to be careful of your estate’s gardener.”
