Chapter 583: Pulling Off a Big One
In the Sang residence.
Zhang Xiaoying sat at the dressing table, flipping through some parenting books.
Little Ying You was stumbling around on the floor, chasing after the two playful kittens, Jiao Jiao and Hei Xia.
Although Young Master Sang didn’t come back last night, Zhang Xiaoying was already used to it.
But usually, even if he was out having fun, he would at least check in with her.
I wonder what my husband is doing right now… Zhang Xiaoying drifted off slightly.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the doorway: “Lady, a young lady wishes to see you.”
“Is she looking for my husband?”
“No… she’s here to see you.”
Zhang Xiaoying blinked.
She opened the door, finding Yu Xia at the entrance with a slightly strange expression, as if hesitating to speak.
“Is this young lady someone I haven’t seen before?”
“Yes…” Yu Xia cautiously glanced at Zhang Xiaoying.
Zhang Xiaoying smiled calmly: “I understand. Please bring the guest in.”
“I’ll take her to the reception room right away.”
“No. Let the guest come directly here.”
Yu Xia froze for a moment.
This was Zhang Xiaoying’s room, and right now, the core of the Sang family, Little Ying You, was also in here.
Generally speaking, even Li Shanyan wouldn’t invite someone to such a place. It was rude and inappropriate.
But the lady actually allowed this girl, whom she had never met before, to come into her room?
Yet Yu Xia didn’t dare to ask further and could only nod silently.
Soon, after a short wait in the room, a timid voice came from the door, filled with courage:
“C-Can I come in?”
“Of course, please do.”
As the door opened, a pretty young girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, stepped into Zhang Xiaoying’s view.
She wore somewhat unusual clothes: a pleated skirt, long socks, a little shirt, and small leather shoes, with black-frame glasses that made her look cute and quiet.
Even Zhang Xiaoying couldn’t help but secretly praise, what an adorable girl.
Little Ying You, who had been playing with the kittens, also raised her head and blinked at the young girl.
When the girl saw Zhang Xiaoying, she seemed a bit nervous, fidgeting her little hands together, and whispered: “Um, hello, I’m Nian Nian, nice to meet you.”
After a moment’s hesitation, she quietly added: “I’m here to… let you know that, um, Young Master Sang has matters to attend to and might not be coming back for a while.”
She looked a bit anxious as she glanced at Zhang Xiaoying.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoying’s expression was surprisingly calm.
She didn’t question where Young Master Sang was or what he was doing, nor did she inquire about Nian Nian’s identity.
Instead, she softly called Little Ying You over, holding her in her arms and pinching her little round face, then laughed gently.
“Miss Nian Nian, would you like to touch her?”
“…Eh?” Nian Nian was taken aback.
Little Ying You, currently nestled in Zhang Xiaoying’s arms, appeared exceptionally well-behaved, her big watery eyes blinking at Nian Nian, looking adorable enough to awaken any woman’s maternal instincts.
After a moment’s hesitation, Nian Nian asked uncertainly: “Is it okay?”
“Of course.”
Zhang Xiaoying seemed very warm and kind to this girl she had just met, even bringing Little Ying You closer to Nian Nian.
Nian Nian stared at Little Ying You for a long time before cautiously reaching out and gently touching her face.
Soft and smooth, it was irresistibly charming, almost addictive.
“Hmm…” Little Ying You didn’t resist and instead squinted her eyes, letting out a soft, contented hum.
Nian Nian’s beautiful eyes began to shine with joy, unconsciously revealing a delighted expression.
“So cute…”
“If Miss Nian Nian likes her, you should come and play with her more often,” Zhang Xiaoying said softly.
Nian Nian looked up in surprise, a bit anxious: “Eh?! Is that okay? Y-You’re not afraid of me being some dangerous person?”
“How could that be?”
Zhang Xiaoying lowered her beautiful eyes slightly, exuding a gentle demeanor.
“You’ve been by my husband’s side for so long, surely you’re closer to him than anyone else, right?”
Nian Nian trembled slightly.
In the next moment, her little head drooped down, and she said dejectedly: “Y-You knew about me all along?”
“I only confirmed my thoughts upon seeing you today.”
After all, this wasn’t the first time.
For some time now, Young Master Sang would often stare into the distance, lost in thought.
Sometimes he would smile widely, and other times he’d wear a worried frown.
As if someone he couldn’t see was talking to him.
Women were always more perceptive and sensitive in these matters.
Zhang Xiaoying said, “Thank you for accompanying my husband all these years.”
In that instant.
Nian Nian felt a warm flow pass through her heart.
She moved her lips but ultimately murmured: “Sorry… for hiding this from you all these years.”
“I’m just my husband’s wife, so there’s no need for you to tell me.”
Zhang Xiaoying’s tone was soft: “But since you were bold enough to come see me, it means my husband is currently in a tricky situation, right?”
Nian Nian knew she couldn’t conceal it any longer, so she could only nod.
“He went to the outer realm… He won’t be back for at least a month.”
Zhang Xiaoying nodded: “I understand.”
“Aren’t you worried about him?” Nian Nian asked in confusion.
“If I were to worry, I’ve been worried about him ever since he was still a junior interrogator in the Punishment Department.”
Zhang Xiaoying smiled: “But now my husband isn’t the same as he was before. Worrying doesn’t help.”
“Moreover, if I were to spend all my time frowning with worry, it would only make everyone in the Sang family anxious.”
Nian Nian stared at Zhang Xiaoying for a while.
Finally, she sighed in defeat.
“…You’ve convinced me.”
Zhang Xiaoying: “?”
“Nothing.” Nian Nian appeared more relaxed and walked over to Zhang Xiaoying, gently patting Little Ying You’s head.
“Don’t worry. That guy, Young Master Sang, will be fine.”
As she rubbed Little Ying You, she murmured to herself: “If he really wanted to come back, no one could stop him.”
Zhang Xiaoying nodded gently: “I hope my husband stays safe.”

However.
At that moment, Young Master Sang was far from safe.
As Xu Hongyi gently peeled away the thin red veils, revealing her alluring white body, he was so shocked that his throat went dry.
“Wuwu (Sister, hold on, I have something to say!)”
“Waiting until I’m done isn’t a problem either,” Xu Hongyi seemed impatient and cradled Young Master Sang’s head, leaning in as if to kiss him.
“Wuw! (Do you want to know how to resurrect the First Deity/Demon?)”
Xu Hongyi’s cherry lips hovered half an inch from Young Master Sang’s.
She slowly opened her enchanting eyes, a flicker of enigmatic excitement dancing within them.
Young Master Sang, on edge, held his breath.
In the next moment, he felt a smooth little tongue lightly lick his lips.
Then, the blindfold over his eyes vanished.
Xu Hongyi, draped loosely in a red garment, spoke playfully with a teasing lilt in her voice:
“Go on, I’m listening? If I’m satisfied, I may just be gentle with you.”
Young Master Sang sighed in relief and then seriously said:
“Actually…”
“…I am the First Deity/Demon.”
