Zu An broke out in a cold sweat: "Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you say. Severing ties with the Chu family is a result of our discussions. I don't want to implicate others, and besides, Chu Yan is still..."
Qiu Honglei interrupted him directly, pointing the finger at Chu Chuyan: "That's right, if I remember correctly, you have nothing to do with the Chu family anymore. Some people come here early in the morning acting like the empress, questioning and accusing you. Who are they trying to impress?"
Chu Chuyan's breath hitched. The fact that the Chu family had severed ties with Zu'an had always been a thorn in her side. She wasn't in Mingyue City at the time, and by the time she learned of this news, it was too late.
They both tacitly avoided mentioning it, but now she was pale. Yes, they were no longer husband and wife.
Chu Youzhao, standing to the side, was furious: "Where did this vixen come from? Stealing a man and she even has the nerve to justify it! Believe me or not, I'll report this to the authorities right now and have them arrest you, this remnant of the evil cult!"
Who knew that Qiu Honglei leaned against Zu An with a smile on her face: "I am Zu's good friend. I usually live here. If you report me, wouldn't you be causing him a lot of trouble? Zu has been more than kind to your Chu family. How can your Chu family repay kindness with enmity?"
"You..." Chu Youzhao was speechless for a moment. In terms of eloquence, how could she be a match for Qiu Honglei, a holy maiden of the demonic sect who had long frequented the Immortal Abode?
Seeing her snuggling intimately against Zu An, Chu Chuyan's eyelids twitched. She thought to herself, "If I had known this would happen, I should have let Zhu Xie Chixin capture her back then. I shouldn't have let her go beforehand. Humph, I'm so angry!"
She turned and left expressionlessly: "Youzhao, let's go."
Chu Youzhao was somewhat dissatisfied. "Sister, you are the empress! How can you back down in front of those seductive and shameless women?" But seeing that her sister was walking very fast, she weighed the difference in martial arts strength between herself and Qiu Honglei and wisely chased after her.
Seeing this, Zu'an was about to chase after him to explain, but Qiu Honglei held him back tightly: "Zu'an, please get me some clean water to wash my face. It feels like my face is covered in scabs."
Chu Chuyan, who had just stepped out the door, paused, took a deep breath, and then walked away without looking back.
Chu Chuyan's anger level increased by 999!
Looking at Qiu Honglei's hopeful and pleading eyes, Zu An sighed. After what she had just done, it would seem too heartless for him to leave now: "Alright, I'll go get you some water."
Hearing his words, Qiu Honglei's heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled down, and her face lit up with a smile.
"Red Tears, you could have just talked to me properly, why did you have to make things so irreconcilable?" Zu'an said irritably as he wiped her cheeks.
