Yu Manman invited Zhou Nan over and announced it tonight, just to test Zhou Nan.
Since he is someone from the Zhou Family, and is highly regarded by them, maybe he can overhear some information?
"Manman, when you make a move, you really surprise everyone, even getting the instructor! Your charm hasn’t faded at all!"
"Yes, since elementary school, people have been giving Manman candy and snacks!"
[Did Ackman really pair up with Yu Manman? It’s officially registered, so it can’t be fake.]
[Since someone from the Zhou Family is already in the base, why does Father still want me to verify? How can this be false?]
Yu Manman’s eyes flickered slightly.
Zhou Nan really has an issue? Is the Zhou Family watching Instructor Ackman?
Then, Yu Manman heard again: [Father’s plan seems to be going down the drain. He wanted to introduce Ackman to the daughter of the Zhou Family, wanting him to be the son-in-law, but that’s impossible now... Yu Manman’s father is a general, so Ackman must know which choice is best.]
Yu Manman was a bit disappointed.
Zhou Nan’s father simply has his eyes on Ackman, hoping to make Ackman the Zhou Family’s son-in-law? Nothing else?
[Father wants to cultivate his own people in the military, wouldn’t it be better to find Yu Manman? Introducing the Zhou Family to Yu Manman as a beastman husband would be even better...]
Yu Manman pursed her lips slightly.
Zhou Nan is actually setting his sights on her?
Yu Manman listened to Zhou Nan’s inner voice, even hearing him silently screening the young males of the Zhou Family!
This Zhou Nan has quite the scheming mind.
Yu Manman didn’t like it.
"By the way, I went to Wolz Underwater World last week, it was quite beautiful there," Yu Manman said casually.
"The Wolz Family’s zoo? It seems pretty good! Better than hiring beastmen to turn into animals!"
"Oh really? I haven’t been there yet." Wu Yingyue laughed, "I’ve always stayed home and haven’t gone out much."
[Wolz Underwater World? I think I heard Father mention that the Wolz people are very fake? Still, if Yingyue likes it, I’ll find a chance to take her to see it.]
Fake? Yu Manman pondered.
Listening to Zhou Nan’s thoughts, Yu Manman guessed that the Zhou Family might know something about Wolz? Yu Manman was also uncertain if the Zhou Family had any relation with Wolz.
Looks like I’ll have to find a chance to visit Yingyue’s home?
No worries, a few days ago, while chatting with Wu Yingyue, I steered the conversation to her hometown, and she suggested taking me back to have a look...
Soon, the ten-minute limit was up, and Yu Manman didn’t continue using the mind reading technique on Zhou Nan.
Today is her birthday, and Yu Manman didn’t want to spend too much time on Zhou Nan.
Yu Manman also realized that although Zhou Nan was valued by the Zhou Family, he was still young, just a nineteen-year-old boy, and probably not too involved in family matters.
If that’s the case, she might as well enjoy a happy birthday!
"Manman, I even made a bet with someone earlier that your first beastman husband would be Shang Yu!" A friend teased Yu Manman.
"Why do you think that?" Yu Manman was slightly taken aback.
"We all noticed that Shang Yu likes you, right?" Xu Wanwan smiled at Yu Manman, "Unlike you, who’s slow!"
"You’re calling me, aren’t you..." Yu Manman blushed slightly.
Shang Yu likes her?
She never thought about it...
Shang Yu hasn’t done anything to give that impression, right? How did they see it?
"What about me?"
Xu Wanwan leaned close to Yu Manman’s ear and whispered, "You wouldn’t mean... Xiao En, would you?"
Yu Manman was stunned. She knows?
Xu Wanwan smugly laughed, "See, you’re the only one blurred by the situation!"
Actually, Xu Wanwan didn’t know before.
But half a month ago, Xiao En modeled for her.
That afternoon, even Xiao En didn’t know how red his face was!
It was then that Xu Wanwan realized Xiao En might have feelings for her!
But... since Xiao En isn’t taking the initiative, she’ll just pretend she doesn’t know!
Xu Wanwan curled her lips. In the heart of the proud young lady, the male should speak first! If the little lamb never speaks, then he doesn’t like her enough...
Yu Manman was lost in thought. Shang Yu really likes her? Everyone else noticed, so why didn’t she?
Though Yu Manman is much more cheerful and lively in this life, she’s really clueless about feelings. In her previous life, she only lived for over a decade, never dated nor experienced young love.
In terms of emotions, she’s like a blank sheet of paper.
"Darlings, the cake is here!" Yu Man, in a red gown, exuded mature charm.
Atier and Puslin pushed the cake out together.
"Hello Auntie! Hello Uncles!"
"Auntie is more and more beautiful! Standing next to Manman, they’re just like sisters!"
"Your mouths, did you eat honey?" Yu Man laughed happily, pulling her daughter close.
"Our precious daughter has grown up!"
Yu Man was very emotional.
Looking at her radiant daughter, she was reminded of the adorable little bun from years ago.
Time flies, her daughter has grown up and now even has a fiancé...
Yu Man looked at Ackman, "You’ll have to protect my precious daughter well in the future!"
"I’ll guard Manman with my life!" Ackman’s gaze was serious, as if he was making a vow.
Yu Manman’s face reddened a bit more, and her heart seemed to beat faster.
A thought popped into her mind: Is Instructor Ackman serious?
Reflecting on Ackman’s care and thoughtfulness over these days, it didn’t seem like an act.
If... If Instructor Ackman really likes her, should she accept?
Yu Manman pondered. It might not be impossible?
Having spent many years in the Beast World, Yu Manman had already adapted to this era. Since she has to find several beastman husbands, then Instructor Ackman, with both looks and strength, is indeed a good choice?
Yu Manman silently pushed the thought away, never mind, just let it happen naturally!
"Manman, my precious goddaughter! Happy Birthday!" Lu Cheng arrived late with Shang Yu.
"If you came any later, we would have started already!" Yu Man slightly scolded her best friend.
"You think I didn’t want to? It’s just that the family is worrying!" Lu Cheng wailed, "I used to envy you for having a sweet and soft daughter, and I wanted one myself! Didn’t expect the one I had to be here to collect debts..."
Just this year, Lu Cheng finally had a daughter, but the little cub has more energy than the twins Gru and Ragnar back in the day! One little cub is twice as naughty!
Most importantly, this little cub doesn’t like to play during the day and doesn’t like to sleep at night...
