Chu Chuyan snorted: "I don't know what kind of magic you have. You know, Zhao Youzhao has a temper that's worse than anyone else's, but she became incredibly close to you after only a short time."
Zuan laughed heartily: "I've already told you I have great personal charm. Everyone who sees me will instinctively feel close to me. Aren't you the same?"
"Pah, shameless!" Chu Chuyan spat, her face flushed, and then said seriously, "It's fine if you confess, but Youzhao is now the heir of the Chu family. She can't get married. You must not provoke her, otherwise our Chu family's hundreds of years of foundation will probably be completely ruined."
Zuan's eyes lit up: "So, you can just confess?"
Chu Chuyan raised her eyebrows: "So you really did have such thoughts in mind!"
Anger from Chu Chuyan: +66 +66 +66...
Zuan quickly interrupted, "Haha, just kidding."
He then frowned and said, "But aren't you ruining Youzhao's life by doing this?"
Chu Chuyan sighed softly, "What can we do? This is the fate of women from large families. From childhood, we've enjoyed the family's glory and wealth, and correspondingly, we bear the family's responsibilities. Each of us has to make sacrifices, just like when I chose you..."
As she said this, her face flushed. Back then, she had indeed sacrificed her life's happiness by choosing a good-for-nothing as her son-in-law. However, looking back now, it seemed like she was being hypocritical for getting a good deal.
Zuan laughed and pulled her into his arms: "What, did you sacrifice a lot to marry me?"
Feeling his hands groping her, Chu Chuyan's body went limp: "To be treated like this by you, isn't that a sacrifice?"
"Since you've said that, then I'm going to properly humiliate the Ice Queen in everyone's hearts." Zu An deliberately gave a wicked smile, and with just one hand, he rendered the recognized cultivation genius powerless.
"No...not here..." Feeling the other person trying to get closer, Chu Chuyan blushed and tried to stop them. Her younger sister was still there. Although she was drunk and asleep, she was still a little uncomfortable because of her thin skin.
“But Youzhao won’t let go, and I’m afraid of hurting her.” Zu’an was also a little troubled.
Chu Youzhao's usually cool face flushed slightly, whether from the alcohol or from the outpouring of emotion, she couldn't tell. Her eyes held a hint of allure: "I used to feel a little embarrassed when you asked me to do this, but after this ordeal, I've realized that life is full of surprises. Now that we're together, I want to give you the best so that you won't have any regrets later."
After speaking, she gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear amidst Zuan's astonished gaze, and then slowly lowered her head.
Zuan instinctively grabbed her hair, his body stiffening at first, then he let out a long breath...
...
After an unknown amount of time, when Chu Youzhao and Murong Qinghe had sobered up, Chu Chuyan escorted them home.
At the gate of the Murong family, they happened to meet a young master, Murong Xiu, Murong Qinghe's cousin.
Chu Chuyan subconsciously frowned. This man often fawned over her and used to be one of her suitors. No matter how she rejected him, even after she knew he was married, it did not stop his enthusiasm.
But since the other party was Murong Qinghe's brother, she couldn't afford to offend him too much.
After exchanging pleasantries, Murong Xiu said in surprise, "Miss Chu, why does your voice sound a little hoarse?"
Chu Chuyan's face flushed slightly: "It's nothing serious, just a sore throat."
Murong Xiu hurriedly said:
"Have you taken your medication?"
"Did you catch a cold because your clothes were too thin?"
"Avoid eating greasy and spicy food lately."
"It's cold in the mornings and evenings, so be sure to keep warm."
Is your forehead hot?
What other complications might there be?
"How about I take you to the Imperial Hospital for a checkup?"
"Don't worry, I'm familiar with the Imperial Hospital. I, Murong Xiu, still have some influence there."
"And I am available anytime, 24 hours a day, whenever Miss Chu needs me."
...
Hearing the barrage of earnest concern from the other party, Chu Chuyan felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to directly reply that it was because she had just done it for her husband... to completely dispel his delusions.
However, given her reserved nature and shy personality, she was ultimately too embarrassed to say such things aloud.
In the end, he simply replied, "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Murong. I'm fine; I just need some rest."
As soon as Murong Xiu opened his mouth, he launched into another round of nagging and concern. Murong Qinghe finally couldn't take it anymore: "Hey, cousin, aren't you annoying? You're nagging like an old woman."
