Sure enough, Pei Mianman’s expression changed. “It’s all your fault!”
After shooting him a glare, she disappeared into the night with a tap of her toes.
When he thought about the anger and ambiguity behind her look before she left, a gentle smile couldn’t help but appear on Zu An’s face.
Why in the world did I suddenly kiss her?
It’s even more strange that she didn’t even show much of a reaction… no, her reaction was pretty big…
When Chu clan’s commander Yue Shan rushed over with a group of guards, they saw that Zu An was currently looking at a mirror. He hurriedly asked, “Young master, did an enemy intrude here?”
“Nope.” Zu An said in a carefree manner.
The guards looked around for a long time, but they indeed didn’t find anything. When they were just about to leave, Yue Shan finally couldn’t help but ask, “Young master, why do you keep looking in the mirror?”
The other guards shared his confusion. Why is a man like you staring into a mirror so late into the night? So awkward.
“I am trying to figure out if I really am too handsome. Otherwise, why would so many girls end up liking me?” Zu An subconsciously replied.
It was first Shang Liuyu, Chu Chuyan, and then Qiu Honglei and Pei Mianman. All of them ran over with all types of items and skills as soon as they learned that he was being targeted by Chen Xuan.
How could he not feel cocky about his face?
Yue Shan: “……”
All of the guards: “……”
Sorry for disturbing you, we’re out of here.
Why do I suddenly feel like throwing up?
Those guards all left with strange expressions.
When he saw the string of Rage points come in, Zu An thought to himself that these people really were petty. This was purely jealousy.
…
Early the next morning when Zu An was still fast asleep, he was suddenly woken up by the door’s pounding sounds.
“Who is it?!”
Zu An was full of morning grumpiness. Which idiot is pounding on my door so early in the morning?
He turned his body, about to ignore it. Suddenly, the entrance was kicked open.
“Lazy ass brother-in-law, the sun’s already shining on your butt. Wake up already!” Chu Huanzhao’s unique tender but unruly voice sounded.
When he looked at the broken door bolt, Zu An’s face darkened. “Girl, would it hurt you to be a bit more lady-like? I’m really worried that no one will want to marry you in the future.”
“It’s none of your business even if no one wants to marry me!” When Chu Huanzhao saw that he was still wrapped within his sheets, she couldn’t help but say, “Hurry and get up already! I’m going to pull off the covers if you still don’t get up!”
Her hands were already reaching into his covers while speaking.
Zu An was given a fright, saying in panic, “I’m not wearing anything! If you want to remove the covers then go for it!”
“Pervert!” Chu Huanzhao instantly pulled back her hands as if she had been shocked by electricity.
Zu An became speechless. I’m the one sleeping peacefully here and you’re barging into my room, so how am I the pervert here?!
“Why aren’t you going to school today?” Chu Huanzhao’s face was a bit red. She turned around and asked.
“Who told you?” Zu An was a bit shocked.
“Big sis told me.” Chu Huanzhao harrumphed. She ran over right away for confirmation when her older sister told her Zu An wasn’t going to school today, that she didn’t have to wait for him.
“Yeah, I have some important matters to take care of today.” He couldn’t fall asleep again after being disturbed like this. Zu An got up and began to put on some clothes.
“Tsk, what kind of important matters could you possibly have?” When she heard the sounds of him putting on clothes, Chu Huanzhao’s little face became more and more red. At the same time, she began to wonder what her brother-in-law looked like without clothes on.
She was horrified as soon as this thought appeared in her mind. She began to spit pah pah pah!
“What the heck are you doing?” Zu An asked with curiosity.
“Nothing! If you’re not going then whatever, I’ll go by myself!” Chu Huanzhao immediately ran away guiltily as if he might find out what she was thinking if she stayed even a second longer.
Zu An was baffled. Why did this girl suddenly get so flustered? He really couldn’t figure out the thoughts of young girls.
Soon afterwards, Chu Chuyan contacted him that the silver was already being prepared, so he could start making plans.
Zu An thought to himself for a bit. Me and that Wang Yuanlong only met once. I should grab Chu Yucheng too as a middle-man. The two of them already have a good relationship.
Chu clan’s third branch was also incharge of Chu clan’s salt business, so she didn’t have any objections to this either.
Soon afterwards, Chu Yucheng contacted Wang Yuanlong. By noon, the three of them already met in Immortal Abode.
Wang Yuanlong couldn’t help but sigh with praise when he saw Qiu Honglei behind the beaded curtains. “I really respect Brother Zu… Otherwise, I would have never gotten the chance to admire lady Qiu’s beautiful zither sound from up close.”
Zu An said with a hearty laugh, “You’re overpraising me, I don’t really have any other skills, I just happen to be good with girls, haha~”
