Chapter 172: Please Stop Fighting!
During dinner, Young Master Sang successfully enjoyed the delicious dishes cooked by Gu Yingmian, who was new in the kitchen.
It seemed Gu Yingmian unexpectedly had a talent for cooking; though it was her first attempt, the food she made was quite decent.
While eating, Young Master Sang brought up his upcoming trip.
“Going to find the Sect Leader…?”
Zhang Xiaoying felt a bit disappointed about the short reunion, but she nodded understandingly: “Come back early, and be careful on the road.”
Gu Yingmian quietly asked, “Do you need me to accompany you?”
“No need, this is our Demon Cult’s business, it won’t be good to trouble you.”
Young Master Sang smiled, “It shouldn’t take too long. You can help Gu Jie get familiar with the house these days.”
Zhang Xiaoying nodded, suddenly sharing a glance with Gu Yingmian.
It seemed they were communicating something through their eyes.
Young Master Sang didn’t pay much attention; seeing the two getting along saved him a lot of trouble.
After all, he didn’t want a palace drama like the light novels he read in his past life, where fighting factions only led to his own headaches.
At the dining table, there was one person who looked especially excited.
It was Si Jingzhu, whose smile was nearly reaching her ears.
Since the moment they sat down to eat, she was beaming and humming a tune, practically wearing her joy on her face.
Zhang Xiaoying, worried Si Jingzhu wouldn’t like Gu Yingmian’s cooking, asked, “So, how’s the food—”
“Hey, how did you know Sang is taking me out to play?”
Zhang Xiaoying: “?”
“Can’t help it,” Si Jingzhu waved her hand proudly, “This guy is just too clingy. When he’s alone, he doesn’t want to go out, but then everyone else has things to do, so he insists I go with him!”
“Oh, I really can’t handle him~ hee hee.”
Zhang Xiaoying: “…”
Gu Yingmian: “…”
Young Master Sang: …Maybe I should just optimize her now. It should still be possible.
“I’ll say it again, we’re going to handle serious matters, don’t actually think it’s just a game.”
“I know, I know~”
Looking at Si Jingzhu, who hadn’t heard a word, Young Master Sang couldn’t help but sigh.
He had a feeling this trip wouldn’t be as easy as he imagined.
——
After dinner, Si Jingzhu hopped back to her room to pack.
In her room, she stood before a bronze mirror, trying on several outfits, but nothing seemed to satisfy her.
“I wonder what style Sang likes? Cute, sexy, or perhaps pure?”
After trying on a few dresses, she still couldn’t decide. She thought of asking Zhang Xiaoying.
As the first among them to find happiness, Zhang Xiaoying surely knew what Young Master Sang liked.
So, she happily grabbed a few skirts and was about to head out when she suddenly saw Gu Yingmian dragging Young Master Sang into Zhang Xiaoying’s room.
Startled, she quickly hid at the door, peeking cautiously.
What’s going on?
Is it time for that legendary scene?
The mistress confronts the love rival and they brawl over the rightful position?
Wow, just thinking about it is thrilling!
She suppressed her excitement and quietly moved to the entrance, stealthily glancing in.
Inside, there seemed to be a barrier, muting the sounds, but she could vaguely see Young Master Sang standing silently with his head down before Zhang Xiaoying and Gu Yingmian.
The two women sat on the bed, arms crossed, seemingly arguing about something.
The man stood there like a turtle with his head pulled in; the women were in a heated discussion.
This is just like what I imagined!?
As Si Jingzhu shifted uncomfortably from the doorway, she moved to the window, poking a small hole in the paper to see better.
Everything was just as she thought.
Zhang Xiaoying, with a serious expression, held Gu Yingmian’s hand, seemingly reprimanding her.
Gu Yingmian appeared nervous, her head down and stammering, unable to speak.
Young Master Sang stood there like a shy turtle, utterly silent.
It looked exactly like a scene from a family drama!
Si Jingzhu felt a bit disappointed; this barrier was probably set by Gu Yingmian, and she couldn’t break it, so she couldn’t hear a thing.
She could only imagine the argument.
In Si Jingzhu’s mind, it should go like this:
Zhang Xiaoying: “Don’t think just because you stole my man you can take over! The main wife position is mine alone, even if you’re at the Immortal level, you can’t cut in on my love life!”
Gu Yingmian: “Wah! Sang, say something! Your wife is bullying me, I’m so scared…”
Young Master Sang: “Not my business, not my business…”
Fight! Fight! Si Jingzhu cheered frantically from the sidelines.
……
Meanwhile, inside the room.
Zhang Xiaoying: “Oh come on, Gu Jie, don’t be shy. There’s no need for so many rules in a bedroom.”
Gu Yingmian: “Ah? B-but I really don’t have experience… Just thinking about it is mortifying.”
“What’s there to be shy about? When you’re with your husband, haven’t you tried every possible position?”
Gu Yingmian suddenly remembered that stormy night, her face turning red as she covered her face, unable to speak.
“Husband, you tell her, isn’t it way better when it’s the two of us?”
Young Master Sang: “…Uh? Cough, well…”
Seeing Young Master Sang scratching his face shyly, Gu Yingmian seemed to understand what he meant.
She finally lowered her head a bit, her beautiful eyes shimmering, biting her cherry lip after a long pause:
“Well, then let’s leave it to Xiaoying tonight…”
“Don’t worry,”
Zhang Xiaoying comfortingly patted her hand, “I learned a lot of fun things from Meng Jie last time.”
“Since Husband is going far away again, we have to make sure he’s comfortable tonight.”
With that, she shot Young Master Sang a playful glance.
Gu Yingmian shyly stole a glance at him too.
Only Young Master Sang silently swallowed, smiling awkwardly.
……
Outside the window, as Si Jingzhu was wildly cheering inside her head, she finally saw Zhang Xiaoying push Gu Yingmian down onto the bed.
Here it comes!
Finally going for it! Si Jingzhu’s heart soared with excitement.
The two women would definitely get tangled up, and Young Master Sang would rush in to mediate!
Yes! He’s joining! Young Master Sang is on the bed too!
Next, two women are going to pull each other’s hair while Young Master Sang rushes in, taking hits while trying to separate them!
Yes! That’s it, now they’re taking off their clothes…
…Huh?
Taking off their clothes?
Si Jingzhu’s expression suddenly resembled a bewildered old person on the subway with a smartphone.
What’s with them fighting half the time before deciding to take off their clothes?
Huh?
Why is Young Master Sang also taking off his clothes?
Huh?
Huh?!
Huh?!!!
Si Jingzhu’s face went from confusion to shock and terror, finally turning red as her breath quickened.
This fight is nothing like she imagined; it’s completely different!
What kind of fighting is this?
In the end, blushing furiously, Si Jingzhu felt she was about to cry, helplessly staring in disbelief while mumbling to herself:
“N-not like this.”
“This isn’t how you fight.”
“You guys, please stop!”
(Thanks for your concern, I’m fine for now.)
