What's going on?

Zuan's mind went blank.

"My mother is worried about my health and insists on sleeping with me and taking care of me. I refused several times, but she insisted. I was worried that it would arouse her suspicion, so I had no choice but to agree." Chu Chuyan looked embarrassed.

Zuan: "..."

This plot twist is unbelievable!

"Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Zu'an said quietly. He had just been greatly frightened, and his young and fragile heart had suffered a severe blow. He was still a little dazed.

Chu Chuyan lowered her gaze and said with a hint of annoyance, "Aren't you going to take your hand away?"

Zuan looked down and was immediately embarrassed. He quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted: "Um... I was in a panic just now and didn't react for a while."

Chu Chuyan snorted before saying, "I asked Xiao Zhao, and she said you weren't at the manor, so how could I notify you? That's why I had to lock the doors and windows to warn you that something had changed, but who knew you would actually force your way in!"

"I thought it was because it was your first time and you were shy. The first few times to remove the cold energy were very important for your condition, so I rushed in," Zu An explained. He was worried that she would think he was a pervert.

Chu Chuyan bit her lip, her expression hesitant: "Alright, but you must never be so reckless in the future. I can't always hit Mother's pressure points in time. If she finds out that you were rude to her, you probably won't be able to stay in the Chu family anymore."

She knew her mother had never been kind to Zu'an, and would definitely go crazy if she found out about this, so she had no choice but to knock him unconscious first.

"Wife, you still care about me after all." Zu'an smiled faintly. It wasn't for nothing that I went to all that trouble to save you.

"Who cares about you?" Chu Chuyan blushed slightly and hurriedly explained, "It's just that everyone feels awkward in this kind of situation, so I just reminded you."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and take them off." Zuan said as he unfolded the prepared bag of silver needles.

Chu Chuyan: "..."

Can't this guy even have a proper conversation?

It's clearly a normal treatment, so why does it sound so strange coming from him?

She gave a soft snort, but still slowly unbuttoned her clothes and took them off.

Having been a prodigy in the cultivation world since childhood, she had no intention of spending the rest of her life as a cripple in bed.

Of course, she would never agree to have someone else administer the acupuncture if it wasn't Zuan.

Presumably, the intimate relationship in the secret realm made her subconscious less resistant.

Of course, she was completely unaware of all of this.

Zuan once again praised Chu Chuyan's snow-white and delicate skin. Although she did not have the strong fragrance of Qiu Honglei, her faint fragrance was still impressive.

He took out silver needles and slowly inserted them into her acupoints, beginning to remove the cold from her body.

...

Chu Chuyan suddenly spoke up: "Don't disturb my mother."

Zu An was taken aback, shifted his body, and moved a little further away from Qin Wanru: "Okay!"

...

After an unknown amount of time, Zuan retrieved all the silver needles and let out a long sigh of relief: "Mission accomplished, today's task is complete."

In my mind, I was imagining what it would be like to give her acupuncture on the front next time. Hmm, I can't scare her away at the beginning, I'll take it slow and steady.

"Thank you~" Chu Chuyan silently put on her clothes, turned around and noticed the fine beads of sweat on his forehead. Her heart softened, and she took out a fragrant handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Suddenly she froze, her expression turning cold: "Where did you go today?"

"I went out for a stroll with Yu Cheng and Hong Cai," Zu An said ambiguously, not wanting to tell his wife that he had gone to a brothel.

"That's all?" Chu Chuyan snorted.

"Otherwise what?" Zu'an asked, feeling a little guilty.

Chu Chuyan fell silent, and after a long while, she suddenly said, "You smell of another woman."

"Huh?" Zuan hurriedly picked up his sleeve and sniffed it. There was nothing there. Besides, I clearly changed my clothes just now. As a keyboard warrior, how could I make such a low-level mistake?

How could she smell that?

Are women so sensitive to scents that aren't their own?

He still forced a smile and said, "Are you sure you didn't smell it wrong? Maybe you just accidentally picked up your mother's scent."

Chu Chuyan sneered: "You have other women's lip prints on your lips."

Zuan: "..."

He finally remembered that when Qiu Honglei was breathing on him in the water, the two of them had kissed.

Lipstick that fades is a killer!

Zuan fled in disarray, cursing the unscrupulous merchants of this world in his heart. He knew that Qiu Honglei must have used the most expensive rouge and powder, yet there was still this problem.

"Wait a minute, didn't she say she wouldn't mind me seeing other women? So why am I feeling guilty?"

Zuan subconsciously wanted to turn back, but for some reason, after taking a few steps, he gave up the idea.

"Forget it, I won't go looking for trouble."

When he returned to his room, he suddenly froze, because a sword was held to his neck.

I just took my computer to the after-sales service center to have it installed. The computer that broke down before was sent to a friend at a computer mall for repair, and he fixed it and sent it back to me. I didn't send the hard drive back, so I had it reinstalled at the service center. There were some initial problems turning it on, but thankfully, it worked perfectly. My computer, which Apple's after-sales service had initially deemed hopeless—a motherboard failure that didn't warrant repair—was miraculously brought back to life after my friend replaced a faulty resistor!
