Qiu Honglei: "..."
Pei Mianman: "..."
Xie Daoyun: "..."
"Why does this guy look so smug and annoying right now?"
The same thought arose in the minds of everyone in the hall.
The anger from the crowd increased by 66...
Looking at the string of anger points in the backstage area, Zuan felt extremely comfortable. It seems that being low-key is not suitable for me. It's much easier to earn anger points when I'm the center of attention.
Chen Xuan's anger level increased by 99...
Zuan glanced at him with some surprise. Judging from his angry posture just now, he thought he would rush over immediately, but this is what happened.
Qiu Honglei clearly shared similar concerns. She moved her feet, seemingly unintentionally placing herself between the two, and then said with a smile, "So Young Master Zu is here."
As she drew closer, Zuan caught a faint, delicate fragrance that was neither quite orchid nor quite musk. She was already beautiful from afar, but now, up close, her unparalleled beauty was even more breathtaking.
"Luckily, I've seen the world!"
Zu An secretly rejoiced. If he hadn't spent so much time with Chu Chuyan and developed a heightened immunity to beauty, he would probably have made a fool of himself.
"If I remember correctly, Miss Qiu and I have never met before. Why are you suddenly asking me about this today?" Zu An composed himself and smiled as he met her gaze.
Qiu Honglei was somewhat taken aback. She knew that most ordinary men would instinctively look away when they were in such close proximity to her, and a few would look at her with lustful eyes. It was rare to see someone like him looking at her with such clear and calm eyes.
However, she quickly regained her composure and said softly, "Although I have never met you, young master, I have long admired you. I heard that you found a peerless treasure called the 'Traceless Illusion Lotus' in the secret realm. Each petal of the Traceless Illusion Lotus can raise one's cultivation level by a small amount. You actually gave up such a temptation and gave it to your wife without hesitation."
"The love that the young master has for his wife is enough to move any woman in the world. As the saying goes, it is easy to find priceless treasures, but hard to find a loving husband. Miss Chu is truly blessed."
Pei Mianman, in a private room on the second floor, spat: "What a vixen! Chu Yan, Chu Yan, you never keep a close eye on your husband. Sooner or later, some vixen will steal him away."
Upon hearing Qiu Honglei use phrases like "we've known each other for a long time," the men around them erupted in a commotion.
Then they heard news of the Vanishing Lotus, and their exclamations grew even louder.
This matter was previously only circulating in a small circle of upper-class people, and most people are only finding out about it now.
Upon hearing that Zuan had actually given away the Boundless Lotus, everyone exclaimed that this guy really went all out to woo women.
Others secretly mocked his foolishness, since the gap between him and Miss Chu was already huge, and if Chu Chuyan's strength increased dramatically, the gap between them would only widen further.
Marriages with significant differences in social status are destined to end in separation.
Of course, when all these people saw Qiu Honglei's eyes sparkling as she showed goodwill to Zu'an, their jealousy and anger surged.
Seeing the soaring anger level in the background, Zu An thought to himself, "This woman is doing this on purpose. She's putting me on the spot."
Unfortunately, she didn't expect that I was different from others; the more people resented me, the happier I became.
“That’s right. I’ve always treated my women very well. If Miss Qiu envies my Chu Yan, you can consider becoming sisters with her. If I find another Illusionary Lotus next time, I’ll give it to you to eat,” Zu An said with a grin.
"This guy is utterly shameless," Xie Daoyun couldn't help but spit lightly.
Is the Void Lotus so easy to find? You think you can just talk your way into having such a stunningly beautiful wife?
Moreover, you are merely a son-in-law of the Chu family, yet you brazenly arrange to take a concubine right in front of the Chu family members.
This was also what everyone else thought. If looks could kill, Zaun would have been riddled with arrows by now.
"This humble woman would never dare to compete with Miss Chu." Qiu Honglei's face flushed slightly. Usually, these men would deliberately show their most elegant and glamorous side in front of her, afraid of leaving the slightest bad impression. How could this guy be so direct, asking me to be his concubine as soon as we met?
"It's okay. She told me before that she wouldn't mind if I dated other women," Zuan waved his hand dismissively.
Pei Mianman: "???"
Xie Daoyun also looked at her younger brother in disbelief: "Miss Chu really said that?"
Xie Xiu smiled wryly and said, "Who knows if Miss Chu has said it before? But this isn't the first time he's said it. Miss Chu doesn't seem to have any reaction. The relationship between the two is probably not what outsiders think."
"What kind of person is Miss Chu? Would she allow him to take a concubine?" Xie Daoyun's face was full of disbelief, and at the same time she became somewhat curious about the man below her.
What exactly happened?
The men in the hall were far less polite, and many of them swore:
"A son-in-law who lives with his wife's family, I don't know what he's so proud of."
"For someone as ethereal as Miss Chu to have taken a liking to him is already incredibly lucky. How could he possibly be thinking of finding another woman?"
"That's right, they actually dared to set their sights on Miss Qiu, it's outrageous!"
...
Even Wang Yuanlong quietly poked Chu Yucheng's chubby belly: "Did your young lady really say that?"
Chu Yucheng smiled wryly and said, "I don't know either. Logically speaking, given Miss's personality, she shouldn't allow such a thing."
