In the small courtyard, Jiang Xuan hastily responded:
“Um… Liu Yun, please wait a moment, I’ll open the door for you right away.”
While sending this reply, he hurriedly changed his clothes and stuffed anything in his messy room into a storage ring.
A moment later, Jiang Xuan opened the door. Nan Gong Liu Yun, with a gentle expression, asked:
“Husband, I feel like you’ve lost quite a bit of weight since yesterday. Did you forget something? What were you doing in the room all this time?”
“No… nothing much… I just wanted to show my best side to Liu Yun, so I cleaned up the room a bit.”
“Oh? That’s great; let me have a good look at your room.”
As her words fell, Nan Gong Liu Yun walked straight into Jiang Xuan’s room.
She looked around, but soon Jiang Xuan noticed her smile start to fade.
Then, without any warning, Nan Gong Liu Yun locked the room behind him, which made Jiang Xuan’s heart race.
Jiang Xuan quickly brewed some spiritual tea to offer:
“Liu Yun, have some tea to warm up, did you… not like what you saw in my room?”
Nan Gong Liu Yun didn’t take the tea, but sat down calmly on the bedstead.
“Husband, haven’t you been hiding things from me?
First, your body carries traces of several different auras, which I presume belong to women. This means you’ve met different girls after leaving the Nan Gong family yesterday.
Second, there are traces of Xia Xiao Yu, your childhood friend, in this room. That suggests you spent a night alone together.
Third, when you heard my arrival, instead of coming out immediately, you took time to tidy up the room. So it seems there was something in here that I shouldn’t see.
Am I right?
Considering how we looked yesterday, I can guess what happened and how things went down.”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!”
At this moment, Jiang Xuan was completely stunned:
[I didn’t even say a word, and she guessed almost everything! What is this sorcery!]
[cr*p, this might be the end for me because of Xia Xiao Yu!]
[Wait, she doesn’t seem too angry. There might be a chance to save myself.]
[Xia Xiao Yu has grown considerably yesterday. Maybe I should pin everything on her? It’s not like she wasn’t involved in all this mess.]
While Jiang Xuan was pondering on how to explain perfectly, Nan Gong Liu Yun tapped the soft bed next to her.
“Husband, come sit by me.”
Seeing Nan Gong Liu Yun smiling brightly, Jiang Xuan shivered.
“I can explain what happened yesterday…”
“There’s no need to explain. I already have a vague idea anyway. I should have been more protective of you, Husband. You’re a delicate man with a beautiful face. It’s natural that someone would take interest.
I just didn’t expect others to act so brazenly right here in the Jiang family.
It’s fine. I’ll erase those stains. As long as those people vanish from this world.”
Hearing Nan Gong Liu Yun’s casual statement sent a chill down Jiang Xuan’s spine.
To other ears, it might sound like an arrogant boast from a spoiled girl, but to him, it indicated real anger.
Jiang Xuan moved over beside Nan Gong Liu Yun.
“I appreciate your concern, but I don’t want to risk you getting hurt with your powers. Besides, what if you get hurt in the process?”
“It’s fine. No one who harmed you will escape me.
But truly, whoever hurt you was Xia Xiao Yu, wasn’t it? What do you think we should do about her, Husband?”
Jiang Xuan: “……”
Noticing Jiang Xuan’s silence, Nan Gong Liu Yun smiled, but it was an unsettling smile.
“By the way, Xia Xiao Yu is your childhood friend. And she silently entered our Jiang family without being detected. That must include your assistance. Does this mean you’re voluntarily betraying me?”
“No no no, I’m not voluntary. Here’s what happened:
Xia Xiao Yu sneaked into my room last night and tried to get me to call off our engagement. She went mad and wouldn’t respond to my pleas. Accidentally or otherwise, she did something… ugh, Liu Yun… believe me here…”
Most of what Jiang Xuan said was true.
Before she could react, Nan Gong Liu Yun nodded slowly:
“Alright, I believe your explanation, but anyone who dares harm my husband—whether they have justification or not—they won’t live.”
Jiang Xuan thought to himself:
[cr*p, Xia Xiao Yu really messed up this time, drawing trouble with such a big-shot!]
[Should I try to help her? She’s usually innocent, though this Xia Xiao Yu is quite troublesome. But then again, there’s a real risk I might make things worse for both her and myself.]
After a moment, he decided to try anyway. He cautiously began:
“Liu Yun, can you forgive Xia Xiao Yu this once…”
Before he finished, Nan Gong Liu Yun restrained him.
“Didn’t know my beloved husband would plead for his childhood friend.
It seems you still hold feelings for her.
Naughty husband, I’ll have to punish you.”
Jiang Xuan: “? ? ? ? ?”
He quickly tried to backtrack:
“That comment can be ignored, right?”
“Too late, I’m going to remove any traces she left on you.
Be prepared, Husband; I won’t be nice when I’m angry.”
With a sinister tone, Nan Gong Liu Yun pushed him onto the bed, tearing apart his newly changed outfit.
Seeing the unmistakable signs on Jiang Xuan’s body, Nan Gong Liu Yun’s final sliver of restraint vanished.
