"Why would someone like that be around you?" Pei Mianman couldn't help but wonder.
"Actually, I don't know either. In fact, I owe all my skills to him, but he always gives me a kind of inexplicable pressure." It's strange, his relationship with Pei Mianman was clearly one of enmity and friendship, far less intimate than with Chu Chuyan, but he couldn't help but tell her these things instead of Chu Chuyan.
"Why not inform Lord Mingyue and have the Chu family investigate for you?" Pei Mianman clearly had a similar question.
Zuan shook his head: "It's no use."
"Could he be even higher than Lord Mingyue?" Pei Mianman was startled, suddenly remembering that the pressure he felt from the other party was much greater than that from Chu Zhongtian.
Zuan smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
Pei Mianman's expression changed drastically. With such a top expert hidden in the Chu family, things in Mingyue City had become much more unpredictable.
"Just pretend you know nothing and don't tell anyone about this. After all, I don't want to lose you as a friend," Zuan said seriously.
Sensing the seriousness in his tone, Pei Mianman couldn't help but feel touched and subconsciously nodded, "Okay~"
"Then I probably won't come here as often as I do now in the future." The flower farmer was putting too much pressure on her.
"That's fine, to avoid any uncontrollable problems." Zuan nodded, then said with a reluctant expression, "It's a pity that I won't be able to see you every night anymore."
Hearing his heartfelt sincerity, Pei Mianman's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly snorted, "If your wife heard this, see if she wouldn't skin you alive."
Zuan couldn't help but laugh: "If she finds out that you sneak into my room every day, do you think she'll still consider you her best friend?"
Pei Mianman blushed, suddenly remembering the word "steal" the other party had just used, and thought that it was a very apt description.
She gave him a disdainful look, and before leaving, she said, "I'll look into that flower farmer for you. You should also be careful."
Zu An frowned, about to speak, but the other party laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this, and I won't get myself into trouble."
After saying that, she winked at him, giggled, and disappeared into the night.
After lying back down on the bed, Zuan was somewhat dazed. The flirtatious wink the other person gave before leaving was truly captivating.
Sigh, I seem a bit of a loser.
Nonsense, it was clearly her initiative.
...
Two little people were arguing in my head, and then I drifted off to sleep.
However, while he slept soundly, others were destined to suffer from insomnia.
In the Wang family study, Chu Zhongtian looked at Wang Fu with a shocked expression: "Brother Wang, what do you mean by the salt permit being lost?"
Wang Fu smiled bitterly and said, "It means exactly what it says. This batch of salt permits was supposed to be delivered to the city today, but it was robbed before it entered the city. It's all my unfilial son's fault for leaking the information. Otherwise, with such a secretive route and schedule, how could it have been robbed so easily?"
"That's no one's fault but your son's." Chu Zhongtian knew about Wang Yuanlong's affair, but he didn't expect to arrive too late. It's just bad luck that the salt permits were delivered today. Is Heaven trying to destroy the Chu family?
