After Nan Zhu's popularity exploded, He Yunxiao had been restraining his feelings for her. But these pent-up emotions finally erupted when the beauty beneath him slowly closed her eyes.
His breathing grew heavier and heavier, and He Yunxiao used his last bit of reason to hold himself together.
"Namjoo, I want to marry you."
After He Yunxiao finished speaking, the world seemed to stand still, and the air seemed to freeze.
Until a soft reply, like lightning shattering the night, broke through the frozen air.
"Um."
He Yunxiao knew what Nan Zhu's wife's agreement meant. Just like with Zi Ruo's younger sister, it signified a secret commitment to each other. Given the personalities of the female protagonists, once they agreed, they would never go back on their word.
However, unlike Zi Ruo's wife, Nan Zhu's wife has not resolved her inner conflict. After confessing her feelings, her favorability rating kept rising, but in the end, she was stuck at the 75 mark, unable to make any progress.
The system's constant updates on favorability ratings actually sobered up He Yunxiao considerably. His impulsive desire to possess Nanzhu as his wife also subsided.
Like Zi Ruo's wife, Nan Zhu's wife was a very traditional woman in the State of Qi.
Although He Yunxiao could easily win them over before marriage with his overwhelming favorability, he didn't want to do that, at least not by taking the initiative himself. If he did, it would have a somewhat coercive element to it, which would be a great regret in retrospect.
This could potentially create new resentment, hindering further improvement in positive feelings towards the person.
As the villain, one must tread carefully and continue to employ a passive strategy.
However, with the beauty waiting for his favor with her eyes closed, He Yunxiao would feel ashamed if he just left without doing anything.
After thinking for a moment, He Yunxiao bent down and gently touched the lips of his wife, Nanzhu, which were waiting to be favored, as if kissing a flower petal.
He took her first kiss.
Meng Qingrou had expected He Yunxiao's actions to be rough and to last a long time, like pulling her hand. So, upon feeling the touch on her lips, she instinctively tensed up, tightly closing her eyes, preparing for the next round of contact.
Unexpectedly, instead of making contact, He Yunxiao's laughter came over.
"Namjoo, aren't you getting up? Are you asleep?"
Meng Qingrou, who hadn't blushed much even when kissed, blushed uncontrollably after He Yunxiao teased her.
She quickly sat up from the chair, tidied her hair and clothes, her face flushed, looking at He Yunxiao with a mixture of embarrassment and resentment.
You bully people, and then you laugh at them after you've done it. Humph, I'm ignoring you.
Meng Qingrou gave a soft snort and turned her face away.
Seeing that Nan Zhu's wife was being difficult again, He Yunxiao didn't say anything, but sat down next to her and took her hand.
Nan Zhu was no match for He Yunxiao. After two rounds, he caught her hand again.
This time, however, when He Yunxiao wanted to hold hands, Meng Qingrou refused and chose to close her fingers instead.
He Yunxiao wasn't in a hurry. He rubbed his fingertips against her palm, tickling her until she laughed and relaxed her guard. Then he took the opportunity to strike, slipping between her loose fingers and grabbing her small hand.
Grabbing Nan Zhu's small hand, He Yunxiao asked ingratiatingly, "Nan Zhu, are you still angry?"
Meng Qingrou vented all her anger in the hand-to-hand fight, but remembering how He Yunxiao had bullied her all day, she simply put on a stern face and said, "I'm angry."
"How can Nanzhu stop getting angry?"
"You're not allowed to yell at me anymore."
"Okay, as long as Namjoo doesn't make any mistakes, I will never be mean to Namjoo again."
"You can't be mean even if you make a mistake."
He Yunxiao's expression changed.
"Um?"
Seeing his reaction, Meng Qingrou immediately lost all her initial high spirits and aggressive stance. She blinked her large eyes and said knowingly, "Wrong."
Watching Nan Zhu's wife perform Sichuan opera face-changing, He Yunxiao couldn't help but laugh and pinch her cheek, saying, "Nan Zhu, I was just teasing you."
When Meng Qingrou realized she had been tricked, she gritted her teeth and bared her teeth, ready to teach He Yunxiao a lesson.
As a result, as soon as He Yunxiao frowned, the South Pearl kitten, which was originally bristling, instantly calmed down and even wagged its tail to rub against him in a friendly manner.
He Yunxiao couldn't help but laugh again.
This time, he was met with a barrage of unreasonable little pink punches.
Amidst the playful banter between the two, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and the waiter outside called out, "Young Master He! Hahaha, the mutton is here!"
He Yunxiao: ...
Why did I suddenly want to eat at a different restaurant...?
The waiter opened the door to deliver the meat, and then stood there stunned, holding a large bowl of meat.
He Yunxiao looked at the waiter who was frozen in place and thought he had been hit by the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique. However, when Nanzhu's wife sidled up behind him and tried to hide, He Yunxiao realized that the waiter was not to blame.
After I rubbed the veil off my South Pearl face, I forgot to put it back on.
The female lead's halo is truly terrifying.
Even minor characters like the waiter in the book can't stop them.
He Yunxiao stepped in front of Meng Qingrou, blocking the waiter's view, and said, "Hey!"
The waiter suddenly realized what had happened, apologized profusely, quickly put the meat down, and left without even explaining how to cook it.
Fortunately, this wasn't He Yunxiao's first time here, so he had experience even without anyone teaching him.
He Yunxiao first lit the charcoal stove provided in the shop, then brushed oil on the perforated iron mesh and placed it on the stove to grill. After that, he used a knife to cut off the large chunks of mutton that the waiter brought over, skewered them with sharp bamboo sticks, and placed them on the iron mesh to grill.
Actually, you could grill it directly, but for the safety of his wife Nanzhu, He Yunxiao chose to use a wire mesh.
