“He’s investigating a case, so it’s normal for him to use his charm a bit,” Pei Mianman said dismissively. “I’m relieved to see that he’s safe and sound.”
"So it was a honey trap! I knew the son-in-law was such a good person, how could he be like this?" Hongzao nodded in sudden realization.
Pei Mianman rolled her eyes at her. It seemed that Zu An's frequent feeding of her had had an effect. How could she have such a stupid girl who believed her ridiculous excuses?
Meanwhile, Tang Tian'er, watching the two women's backs thoughtfully, said, "Young Master Zu, Miss Pei seems to have a very good relationship with you."
“We were classmates in Brightmoon City for a while, so we naturally had a good relationship,” Zu An’s expression turned serious. “Miss Tang, why did you do that just now?”
Tang Tian'er naturally understood his dissatisfaction, so she smiled sweetly and said coquettishly, "Oh, I'm just too jealous because I care about you, young master."
"Oh, you like me?" Zuan stared intently at her.
Tang Tian'er's heart skipped a beat, but she still maintained her smile: "Of course I like it."
“Alright,” Zuan put his arm around her waist, “Let’s go to Jade Pavilion and get a room so we can have a proper chat.”
After saying that, he put his arm around her and walked towards the Jade Pavilion.
Tang Tian'er panicked. As a socialite who frequented Xiaoyao Tower, she naturally understood what deep communication meant. She jumped away in a flash and begged for mercy, "Young Master Zu, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again."
Zuan gave him a cold look: "I don't want something like that to happen again."
Tang Tian'er pursed her lips, and finally gave a helpless "hmm".
Zuan then revealed a slight smile: "That's more like it. Wouldn't it be better if we treated each other with sincerity and used fewer tricks?"
"Isn't he being honest with you enough..." Tang Tian'er muttered to herself. They had already been completely honest with each other in the bathtub last time, but of course she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Zuan had clearly thought of the same thing, and his gaze softened a bit as he looked at her: "Let's go, where do you want to go?"
Tang Tian'er's eyes lit up, and her sweet dimples returned to her face: "Anywhere is fine, as long as I'm with you."
Zu An frowned, feeling that this woman was being too attentive and probably had ulterior motives.
However, thinking back to the time she risked her life to save him, he felt that if she had ulterior motives, the sacrifice was too great.
With these questions in mind, he accompanied Tang Tian'er on a stroll through Cloud City, covering almost half of the city.
Tang Tian'er then said with lingering joy, "I'm so happy today. I haven't felt this relaxed in so many years."
Zu An realized that whether she was at Xiaoyao Tower or Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce, it was unlikely that she could have an easy time.
She couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her. In her previous life, someone her age would still be carefree and studying at school: "I'll take you out for a stroll again sometime."
Tang Tian'er shook her head and said sadly, "I'm afraid there won't be that chance."
Zuan was taken aback and was about to ask her why, but she interrupted and said, "Alright, alright, I know you've always wanted to know the answer, and you were distracted when you were shopping with me. I'll tell you now, the owner in the Jade Pavilion is just a front. The real owner is the Pegasus Merchant Guild."
"Pegasus Merchant Guild?" Zaun's expression was strange. These two merchant guilds were truly mortal enemies, always trying to trip each other up whenever they had the chance.
Tang Tian'er sighed, "I know what you're thinking, but this time I'm not doing it out of personal grudges, but to help you."
"By the way, the Pegasus Merchant Guild has quite a background. Be careful when you investigate, and don't get yourself into trouble." After saying that, she waved to him, leaving a sweet smile, and quickly disappeared into the street.
Zaun fell into deep thought. He had previously investigated the Pegasus Merchant Guild and found that they seemed to have close ties with the Demonic Cult.
Sigh, does this mean we have to become enemies with Qiu Honglei and Yun Jianyue...?

I didn't fall asleep until after 4 a.m. the night before last, and I didn't fall asleep until after 5 a.m. last night. I couldn't even take a nap during the day. I'm completely numb. The thought of updating the chapter makes me feel so stressed that I can't sleep at all. I don't know if it's because I've been too stressed lately. I haven't had this kind of insomnia in a long time. My head is a complete mess right now. I don't need to wait for the second chapter today. Sorry, I'll try to adjust as soon as possible.
