"What a coincidence." Zu An chuckled awkwardly, only then realizing that Tang Tian'er's fingers were still covering his lips, and he quickly took a step back.
He was truly frustrated. How did I end up experiencing the kind of melodramatic plots that are so common in TV dramas?
"Yes, what a coincidence. I just wandered around and saw Young Master Zu and his confidante being all lovey-dovey." Pei Mianman smiled, showing no sign of anger.
However, Zuan knew that her anger was already escalating rapidly, as the backend was constantly receiving her anger data.
Tang Tian'er raised an eyebrow. Her woman's sixth sense immediately made her realize that the relationship between the two was not simple. So she took Zu An's hand and asked, "Brother Zu, who is this young lady?"
Actually, seeing how charming and beautiful the other person was, coupled with her distinctive clothing, she had a vague guess, but she pretended not to recognize her.
Zu An coughed lightly: "Uh, this is Miss Pei, she's a good friend of mine."
It wasn't that he was afraid to reveal their relationship, but rather that Pei Mianman had requested it beforehand.
This world is more open than the previous one, but the openness is still limited.
Sleeping together before marriage will always affect the daughter's reputation, and the Pei family is not a small or insignificant family, so they will naturally be careful about the impact.
Although Pei Mianman was aware of the agreement between the two, she was still furious to see him say such things in front of another woman.
"Is this the concubine that Young Master Zu recently took in?" She walked over with a smile. Red Date, who was standing to the side, was still sulking and couldn't understand why her young lady hadn't turned on her yet.
Tang Tian'er sensed the veiled criticism that she had been hugging and cuddling with Zu An in public, but she didn't mind. Instead, her eyes held a rather amused expression. The relationship between these two was... interesting.
Sensing the jealousy in the other person's tone, Zuan broke out in a cold sweat: "Manman, you've misunderstood. She's Miss Tang from the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce. I'm investigating a case and have some questions for her."
"Why are you explaining to me? Young Master Zu can do whatever he wants," Pei Mianman said calmly.
Zuan: "..."
Didn't you ask me that?
Just then, Tang Tian'er softly explained, "Miss Pei, there really is nothing between Brother Zu and me."
Pei Mianman's heart skipped a beat. He'd already called him "Brother Zu," and he still hadn't said anything?
Is she deliberately putting on such a weak and pitiful appearance to make me seem aggressive and unreasonable?
Women are naturally extremely sensitive to the tactics of these manipulative women.
However, although she could see through everything, she couldn't bring herself to expose it, lest she be looked down upon.
But the more she did this, the angrier she became.
Anger from Pei Mianman: +233 +233 +233...
Just then, she heard Zu An's voice transmitted through his energy: "Manman, this woman is obviously trying to sow discord between us. Don't fall for her tricks."
Hearing his explanation, Pei Mianman's lips curled up slightly. This big jerk wasn't too stupid after all.
Hearing the implication in his words that he was clearly on her side, most of her anger dissipated instantly.
However, she still used her inner energy to send a sarcastic remark back: "If you're investigating a case, why did you have to kiss her finger? Why did you have to hold her so tightly?"
Zuan: "..."
Although these are just coincidences, they did happen, and there's really no way to deny it.
At this moment, Pei Mianman relaxed and began to look at Tang Tian'er with a playful expression: "Her legs are quite nice, but her breasts are a bit small. Hmm, her appearance is also quite sweet. She would be a good bed partner. If she wants to enter the family, Chu Yan will have to personally vet her."
Tang Tian'er: "..."
What's with this domineering, patriarchal way of scrutinizing her?
However, she reacted quickly: "Miss Pei, are you referring to Miss Chu? But I seem to remember that she has already divorced Brother Zu."
"It's just a cover-up; their relationship is actually very good." Pei Mianman was only joking at first, but as she spoke, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Tang Tian'er's eyes darted around: "But why do I feel that Miss Pei is even more anxious than Miss Chu?"
Pei Mianman naturally understood the sarcasm in her words. Even a respectable wife didn't say anything, so what kind of relationship do you have with Zu An?
Because of Zu An's understanding, Pei Mianman was not angry and replied with a smile, "Because Chu Yan is my good friend. Since she is not around, I naturally have to keep an eye on things for her, so that some female demons don't lust after her husband."
Zu An was speechless. He discovered that Pei Mianman really enjoyed playing the "First Love Best Friend" game, which seemed to bring her extra excitement every time.
Tang Tian'er was speechless, never expecting this woman to be so mentally strong and to turn the tables so quickly.
Just as she was pondering how to retaliate, Pei Mianman smiled and said, "I still need to go shopping. You two take your time browsing, I won't bother you any longer."
After speaking, he bowed slightly to the two of them and left. As he passed by Zu An, he gave him a half-smile.
Zuan smiled wryly. Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was already very clear.
After the two, mistress and servant, had walked away, Hongzao could no longer hold back: "Miss, why did you leave like that?"
"What else can we do but cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide?" Pei Mianman chuckled.
"Miss, how can you still laugh? Didn't you see that vixen surnamed Tang almost leaned her whole body against the young master, and even... rubbed her chest against his hand? She's shameless." Red Date angrily defended her young lady, feeling like her own cabbage had been eaten by a pig outside. "The young master is really something, he didn't even push her away."
