Qin Wanru sneered inwardly. This woman had finally revealed her true intentions. All that talk about being willing to be a slave was just a pretense. Given Qiu Honglei's status, it was impossible for her to do so.
This is her true purpose now.
They've even come to the Chu family to steal men! They're really going too far!
Qin Wanru suppressed her anger and did not lash out on the spot. Instead, she smiled and looked at Zu An: "Our Chu family is a family that values reason. Over the years, there has never been any news of us abusing our power to oppress the people. So, it mainly depends on whether Zu An himself is willing to do so."
She didn't want the Chu family's reputation to be damaged, since it was his fault for causing this mess, and it was best to let him resolve it himself.
"Of course I'm willing, why wouldn't I?" Zu'an blurted out. If such a beautiful courtesan could take the initiative to redeem me, from now on you can call me the King of Free Meals!
Wait, why does this sound like an insult?
Although he didn't mind being a kept man, his last argument with Qin Wanru made him realize that the status of a live-in son-in-law in this world was too low. He was completely an appendage of his wife's family and was not protected by any laws.
Thinking about it that way, it's probably best to get rid of this identity as soon as possible.
Anyway, with my charm, changing my identity won't stop me from living off a woman... Ugh, what do you mean by living off a woman?
Is it my fault that a charming, mature man like me unknowingly attracts beautiful and wealthy women?
Qin Wanru: "..."
Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 666!
She thought Zu'an would find a reason to politely refuse him. In her opinion, no man would give up his noble and beautiful Chu Yan for a courtesan, even if she was a courtesan who captivated thousands of men.
And this is a good opportunity to ease tensions between everyone.
Who knew this guy would do things completely unpredictably!
But the words have already been spoken. If I were to go back on my word now, wouldn't I, a duchess, have any dignity?
Just as they were caught in a dilemma, Chu Chuyan suddenly spoke:
"I disagree!"
Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru were both somewhat surprised that their daughter had refused so directly.
Chu Zhongtian was one thing, but Qin Wanru knew some things about the two of them, and wondered if her daughter had really fallen for Zu An.
The thought that a celestial beauty like her daughter and the infamous Qiu Honglei are now vying for the same man makes one wonder if this man is some extraordinary figure.
What merit or ability does Zu'an possess?
Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 233!
Qiu Honglei glanced at her with some surprise: "Why would Miss Chu refuse? As far as I know, your relationship doesn't seem to be very good, and Azu's status in your family is also very low. Continuing would be torture for both of you."
Zuan sighed inwardly, "This woman really hit the nail on the head with every word she said."
He thought to himself that if he hadn't known from the beginning that this woman had ulterior motives, he probably would have been moved to tears by now.
"Did Zu'an tell you these things?" Chu Chuyan's expression was somewhat unpleasant.
Chu Chuyan's anger level increased by 587!
Zu'an, standing to the side, thought to himself that his wife was really angry; she wasn't even calling him "A-Zu" anymore.
Qiu Honglei shook her head: "How could a remarkable man like Azu gossip like this behind people's backs? It's just that he doesn't need to say these things; everyone in the entire Bright Moon City knows them."
A remarkable man?
Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru had strange expressions. "Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about this word?"
Chu Chuyan felt a tremor in her heart. In fact, she had guessed a thing or two before, but subconsciously avoided thinking about these issues.
Hearing this from others now, I realize how much grievance Ah Zu has suffered and how many people have scorned him these past few days.
"Who said our relationship isn't good?" Thinking of those things, Chu Chuyan felt even more guilty. She stepped forward and took Zu An's arm, looking like a little bird clinging to him. "We went through life and death together in the Yao Guang Secret Realm. Our relationship is more harmonious than anything else. Zu An, don't you think so?"
Although a smile appeared on her face, her other hand secretly pinched the soft flesh of his waist, the threat in her words was obvious.
Chu Zhongtian stared in surprise at his daughter snuggling so intimately with Zu An. He glanced at his wife instinctively, his eyes filled with doubt: Is there something I don't know?
To Qin Wanru's surprise, this was completely unlike her daughter's personality.
Sensing the killing intent around him, Zu An smiled slightly: "Indeed, my wife and I have a very good relationship. I am also reluctant to leave my wife. Hong Lei, you may only be able to be a concubine."
Given his personality, how could he possibly let such a good opportunity slip by?
As he spoke, he reached out and casually wrapped his arm around Chu Chuyan's waist; the feeling of holding her so delicately was truly captivating.
Noticing the movement in his hand, Chu Chuyan froze, as if she were about to explode.
However, she didn't say anything in the end, pursed her lips, and relaxed again.
Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru almost spat out their drinks when they heard him directly offer Qiu Honglei a concubine. This guy's shamelessness really refreshed everyone's understanding of what a shameless person should be.
However, he immediately noticed the unusual behavior of the two men and stared intently at the hand on his daughter's waist. Seeing that she did not resist, he couldn't help but exchange a glance and wondered if his daughter and he had become a real couple.
Chu Zhongtian was usually quite kind and polite to Zu An, but that was only because of his good manners. Now, thinking about how his precious daughter, whom he had raised with great care, had been taken by a scoundrel, he felt a sense of frustration and loss that every father could understand.
Chu Zhongtian's anger level increased by 211!
Qin Wanru was relatively easier to accept, since she had learned from her daughter that the two of them had taken off their clothes to heal their wounds, so she was somewhat mentally prepared.
