Chapter 427 - 0266 Want to Make Him Happy (Two-in-One)

After finding out that Xu Chang’an liked Miss Aqing, Yun Qian had no idea how many times she had flipped through that book. So, Miss Yun knew very well how far she was from making him yearn for her because of her sword dance... just how distant.

Yun Qian stared at him and said, "Is that even considered a dance?"

"Not necessarily being beautiful, that’s why I would like it," Xu Chang’an reminded.

He simply liked Miss Yun, regardless of whether she understood sword dance or not.

Does it mean he has to like a girl who is good at swordsmanship, has high cultivation, and is smart?

What kind of logic is that?

"Is that so?" Yun Qian blinked, somewhat understanding.

Generally, people would think one should like the prettier, more outstanding, but these don’t work well on her husband.

It’s very simple; Yun Qian knows that compared to her in a luxurious dress, Xu Chang’an prefers her in that tasteless, garishly colored floral jacket.

He even prefers the comical floral jacket more than her not wearing anything.

His sense of aesthetics is always peculiar.

But...

Yun Qian still had questions, and she seriously asked, "Is it that you don’t like Miss Aqing compared to me, or do you really not like her?"

Xu Chang’an: "..."

What kind of experience is it to hear your wife refer to "Miss Aqing" repeatedly?

He just felt helpless.

But mixed with helplessness was a bit of heart flutter over her competing with a fictional character.

So adorable.

Even this side of Miss Yun was irresistible, and her insights were always so incisive.

"Truthfully?" Xu Chang’an asked.

"Yes." Yun Qian waited for the answer.

"Compared to you, I don’t like her," Xu Chang’an replied truthfully.

He wouldn’t dislike a character for no reason, let alone his "ideal type" — although that was something from his younger days in a past life.

"I knew it would be like that." Yun Qian nodded.

Xu Chang’an didn’t dislike Miss Aqing; it’s just that in comparison with herself, he preferred her.

This dislike is relative, not absolute.

It’s like when she’s having lunch, she selects dishes from a full table as well.

Some dishes she only eats once, while others she devours completely.

Actually, they were all cooked by Xu Chang’an. Her dislike is only relative; she would like any dish if taken alone.

"So, since it’s someone you like, I will still care," Yun Qian pondered.

This too was a wife’s cultivation.

Miss Aqing had things that she didn’t have, things that could attract him.

Even a slight fondness for Miss Aqing from Xu Chang’an had reference value for her, as material for a wife’s cultivation.

Wait a minute.

Is it like that?

Yun Qian’s fingers lightly tapped on the sword sheath beside her, suddenly realizing something.

She might not be able to learn anything from her.

For example, Xu Chang’an likes her who doesn’t know jealousy and also likes the temporarily jealousy-blinded Miss Aqing, which is contradictory.

Because one cannot be both unjealous and a little jar of jealousy.

And yet, he likes both.

So starting from Yun Qian’s point of view — to please him, the only solution is...

To accommodate all.

Is this being unfaithful?

Yun Qian didn’t quite understand and thought it might be like her liking to collect treasures related to Xu Chang’an?

It’s no wonder she thinks so much.

Making Xu Chang’an happy is the most important thing in the world, so Yun Qian was wondering how to make him like both herself and Miss Aqing?

At that moment, Xu Chang’an noticed Yun Qian was spacing out and said helplessly, "Miss, the version of you I like doesn’t need to learn anything due to small matters."

Yun Qian nodded, thinking he was right.

Some things, she has no way of learning.

She asked, "I can’t wield a sword, do you like that?"

"Of course." Xu Chang’an could feel what Yun Qian was mindlessly pondering about, so he didn’t pretend, "I like the way you can’t lift a sword, how you handle it like a sweet bag, and even how you accidentally fall."

So cute.

The usually expressionless girl, her occasional clumsiness naturally made one feel something.

"Mm." Yun Qian responded, thinking it was indeed like that.

She couldn’t remain ignorant about swordsmanship while becoming a sword master like Miss Aqing.

Was Xu Chang’an wrong?

After all, it was his "dalliance" that led to her dilemma.

Yun Qian was very clear on what kind of devoted person he was now.

So he wasn’t wrong; it’s her greed and desire for him to have everything that’s wrong.

So, if returning to the origin, how should Miss Yun... manage to allow him, within his dedication, to have an unjealous, clumsy wife and someone like Miss Aqing?

This seems like a deadlock.

Seems... like it?

Yun Qian suddenly froze.

"...?"

From Xu Chang’an’s perspective, Yun Qian’s body trembled slightly, her knuckles turning white for a moment, leaving Xu Chang’an puzzled.

"What’s wrong?"

"Nothing." Yun Qian lowered her gaze.

It is.

Yun Qian tilted her head, suddenly realizing why losing memory was a good thing.

Unlocking this deadlock is actually quite simple.

She could maintain the form he liked in this life, then in the next life when they meet again, Miss Yun could become someone like "Miss Aqing" and be his wife... and everything would be solved.
