Su Muyao was completely caught off guard, unable to react. At this moment, listening to his seductive words, especially with his whole body exuding a mesmerizing and tempting aura, she was stunned.
Realizing his intention, her face turned completely red.
She wasn’t, she didn’t want to do anything to him.
Su Muyao hurriedly explained, "No... it’s not like that, I just..."
Before Su Muyao could finish speaking, Wen Nanxi’s lips had already pressed down.
Su Muyao’s words were blocked, completely unable to speak.
His breath remained gentle, yet carried a touch of assertiveness, making it impossible for her to break free.
Gradually, Su Muyao’s body softened, unable to resist indulging in his presence.
It wasn’t until Su Muyao struggled to breathe that Wen Nanxi finally let her go.
Wen Nanxi gently touched her forehead, eyes, and lips, whispering, "Mm, I understand."
"No matter what it is, it’s not important. Leave such things to me to initiate."
Su Muyao didn’t want to speak anymore, she withdrew into herself.
Feeling like anything said now wouldn’t clear things up.
Wen Nanxi must think she wanted to take advantage of him while he was asleep.
She wasn’t, she didn’t!
Wen Nanxi used to be different; he seemed gentle, but actually kept everyone at a distance, with an indifferent demeanor.
And seemingly uninterested in anything.
It turns out he could be this captivating, leaving one completely unprepared and unable to resist.
At this moment, Wen Nanxi looked down at her charming appearance, her completely restored looks, and was somewhat amazed internally.
He actually hoped her looks hadn’t recovered.
With such beauty, she easily attracted admirers.
Wen Nanxi’s picturesque gaze darkened slightly.
Su Muyao met his eyes, feeling a sudden jolt throughout her body, and quickly said, "Uh, I saw you hadn’t risen yet, so I came to check."
"Let’s have breakfast first, and then take a stroll in the woods after."
Only then did Wen Nanxi gently release Su Muyao, his eyes clinging to her, as if reluctant to let go.
Su Muyao watched him sit up, then quickly rolled down from the bed.
Seeing her like this, Wen Nanxi helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose.
He still had to hold back, couldn’t rush things.
Otherwise, he might scare his wife and risk her not coming to his room anymore.
His door was always open for her.
...
As Su Muyao returned to the kitchen, Mei Qingchen was also there, but Su Muyao didn’t want to acknowledge him.
Hua Linye and Xiao Jihan noticed her expression and lips and felt a breathless pause.
So whatever happened in Wen Nanxi’s room, they could guess without much thought.
A sense of crisis surged in Hua Linye’s heart; he felt he couldn’t let things continue like this or he would lose his place in their wife’s heart.
He thought for a moment, hurriedly scooped a bowl of soup, and picked up a spoonful, "Wife, I made this soup. Try the taste!"
As Hua Linye spoke, his voice was soft and husky, his fox-like eyes carrying a charming expression, exuding an alluring aura all over.
Su Muyao received it and said, "I’ll do it myself."
"But I want to feed you, wife."
Xiao Jihan slipped a dumpling into Su Muyao’s bowl, "If wife doesn’t want soup, try my dumplings then."
Mei Qingchen watched Hua Linye and Xiao Jihan and found it strange.
Was it necessary?
Were they really vying for Su Muyao’s favor here!
Though internally disdainful, Mei Qingchen felt he couldn’t fall behind, otherwise, he’d be driven away again.
Recalling the Beast Husband Guide, he quietly tried to place a vegetable ball into Su Muyao’s bowl.
Su Muyao quickly covered her bowl, "Mei Qingchen, what are you trying to pull?"
Su Muyao’s whole body tightened, eyes full of guarded distrust.
Mei Qingchen suddenly felt suffocated.
At this moment, a relaxed and clear laughter like spring water sounded, "Who told you to always say not to eat what the young lady cooks, claiming she’d poison it."
"So now, you know what it’s like to hear such words, right?"
Mei Qingchen gritted his teeth, "Shut up!"
He certainly knew it was his sword speaking.
He didn’t know why, but after the sword leveled up, it remained his Lifebound Sword, but could also talk.
And never missed a chance to mock him.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll seal you with blood."
The sword let out a light and ethereal chuckle, seemingly mocking him.
But the sword indeed stopped talking.
Mei Qingchen felt uncomfortable under Hua Linye’s and others’ gazes, with an impulse to turn and leave.
But he endured and didn’t leave.
Xiao Jihan’s cold voice broke the silence, "Mei Qingchen, if you can’t endure it, you can leave!"
Mei Qingchen hadn’t expected the normally silent Xiao Jihan to say this.
It was for Su Muyao.
His hand gripping the chopsticks tightened, but then he suddenly smiled mischievously, "Before, you all disliked wife, but now that you can change, why can’t I?"
"We’re all the same, no need to mock anyone!"
At this moment, Wen Nanxi’s gentle voice rose.
"Oh, really?"
"When we’ve been by wife’s side all this time, where were you?"
"Don’t lump us in with you."
As Wen Nanxi spoke, an understated yet intimidating pressure pressed towards Mei Qingchen.
Mei Qingchen’s Level 3 Peak strength was immediately suppressed by Wen Nanxi’s superpower.
"You... Level 4!"
Mei Qingchen displayed a shocked expression.
Yesterday, Wen Nanxi was only Level 3.
"Yes!"
"I owe it all to our wife!"
Wen Nanxi stepped forward to sit at the dining table, looking at Su Muyao with a gentle and tender expression.
Hua Linye and Xiao Jihan both looked at Su Muyao.
Hua Linye’s eyes turned pitifully aggrieved, "Wife indeed favors him over others."
"Wife must be dismissing me, knowing I’m useless, since I didn’t protect wife well yesterday."
"I wish I could stab myself!"
Mei Qingchen was stunned by Hua Linye’s behavior.
Was this some kind of brothel-like vying for favor?
He remembered a friend whose mother took in a beautiful and delicate beast husband from a brothel doing just this.
Where did Hua Linye learn this?
Moreover, he spoke while deliberately hunching his tall figure, as if wanting to stick to Su Muyao.
Mei Qingchen found it intolerable.
As proper beast husbands, who would behave this way!
Hua Linye didn’t care about these things; he just wanted to stay beside his wife and use whatever methods he’d learned or seen.
As long as it worked.
Xiao Jihan couldn’t mimic this, only saying softly, "If there’s anything wife dislikes about Jihan, Jihan will change."
Su Muyao’s head spun; who could teach her how to balance her affections equally!
She didn’t know how!
After traveling through time, she already had several beast husbands.
When they disliked her before, she could interact normally.
Now, she didn’t know how to coax!
Balancing the relationships amongst beast husbands was indeed a learning curve!
