"So, itâs not me forbidding you from having children, but Changâan who doesnât allow it."
Zhu Pingniang watched Yun Qianâs expression soften, thinking ponderously before finally nodding.
Ah.
Such a cute Ms. Yun.
So easy to deal with.
Zhu Pingniang discovered that when not close to Yun Qian, an instinctive impression arises that this girl is difficult to approach and hard to talk to.
Indeed, upon initial contact with Yun Qian, it was like this. Yun Qianâs occasional remarks could choke someone, leaving them speechless for a while.
But this only scratches the surface.
In truth...
Zhu Pingniang felt she had made another breakthrough, now finding Yun Qian easy to deal with; her preferences are just too obvious.
âSo strange.â
Zhu Pingniang blinked at Yun Qian.
Logically, being a woman, independent and strong-willed, Zhu Pingniang felt she should pity or even disdain Yun Qian for being a woman who relies on men for everything.
After all, having entered the Immortal Sect, under Heavenâs Favor, women shouldnât think like they do in the mundane world, relying on men.
Perhaps itâs this kind of thinking... Thus, Muyu Peak has so many twin flowers, girls digest internally, and only a few try to lure men.
But the same situation on Yun Qian didnât feel wrong to her, nor did she think Yun Qian listening to Xu Changâan meant a lack of self.
How could this be?
Thinking about it, Zhu Pingniang considered that perhaps the reliability of Xu Changâan, whom Yun Qian relies on, made it an acceptable dependency.
And Yun Qian wasnât without her own opinions, wasnât just going with the flow.
On the contrary, she faintly felt that Yun Qian was overly opinionated, even if her opinions meant listening to Xu Changâan.
Is it strange?
No.
Zhu Pingniang recalled Yun Qianâs occasional glances toward Xu Changâan...
"Tsk."
Feeling somewhat overwhelmed by affection, a peculiar expression appeared on her face.
Does Ms. Yun really claim not to like children?
But Zhu Pingniang sensed Yun Qianâs indulgence towards Xu Changâan was perhaps too excessive...
She pondered for a long time, believing Yun Qian wasnât just obedient and docile, but simply excessive in her spoiling of Xu Changâan, akin to a mother without boundaries?
There was reason for Zhu Pingniangâs thoughts.
Clearly, according to Xu Changâan himself, he was very young, still a child next to Yun Qian.
Maybe Yun Qianâs indulgence towards Xu Changâan started from back then?
Isnât this couple a bit odd?
"...Ms. Yun." Zhu Pingniang suddenly called.
"Hmm." Yun Qian responded.
Then Zhu Pingniang asked, "You must be familiar with Muyu Peakâs situation, and while you usually reside at Celestial Bright Peak, Changâan has to return to Muyu Peak after nightfall... Itâs full of girls there, and only Changâan is there as a manâloving him like this, how are you not jealous?"
Zhu Pingniang said, as if seeking advice.
Not just Muyu Peak, consider the current situation.
A husband brings his wife to a brothel, temporarily leaves her behind to cook dinner for other women?
Zhu Pingniang thought if she were in Yun Qianâs position, her husband... wouldnât even need to be her husband, if Li Zhibai left her for another woman, she wouldnât need to be sinister, sheâd be furious.
But Yun Qian wouldnât.
"Iâm the most jealous woman, please teach me, how can you not be?" Zhu Pingniang genuinely sought advice.
"Jealous?" Yun Qian said calmly, "I wouldnât."
"I know youâre not jealous, thatâs why I ask how you do it."
"?" Yun Qian tilted her head, glanced at Zhu Pingniang, shook her head, "I simply am not."
"...Wait."
Zhu Pingniang suddenly realized something, her eyes widened, incredulous, "Ms. Yun, when you say you arenât, do you mean... incapable of being jealous?"
"Yes." Yun Qian nodded, thinking sheâs indeed clever, needing no further explanation.
Zhu Pingniang: "..."
She was silent for a long time, gently rubbing her brow.
"So, Sister truly trusts Changâan."
"As long as heâs happy," Yun Qian said softly.
"...Happy..." Zhu Pingniangâs face twitched slightly.
This sister is truly carefree.
If Changâan had a wandering heart, Yun Qianâs head color might match her green outfitâs vividness.
But Xu Changâan is indeed trustworthy.
At this moment, Zhu Pingniang didnât realize she subconsciously started addressing Yun Qian as her peer, calling her sister, genuinely treating her as such.
For Xu Changâan, however, she still perceived him as a junior.
This is the effect of an older wife, younger husband; Yun Qian is certainly more mature than the youthful Xu Changâan.
"I see, Sister is incapable of jealousy... Mm." Zhu Pingniangâs eyes were blank.
Letâs not kid around.
Is there really any woman in the world who isnât somewhat jealous?
Impossible.
Zhu Pingniang swore by her figure that all women are little vinegar jars, okay?
Zhu Pingniang felt she keenly captured Yun Qianâs emotion.
Incapable of jealousy...
This aligns with her thoughts.
Yun Qian spoils Xu Changâan, so naturally, she wouldnât be jealous.
