Chapter 1153 - 631: Flaunting Love for the Atmosphere (Double - )_2

"Speaking of which, Ms. Yun is indeed much more mature than you." Li Zhibai thought of Yun Qian and nodded thoughtfully.

If it were Yun Qian, she certainly wouldn’t make a fuss over receiving some benefits. This is the world of adults.

"So, I call you ’Sir’... while you call her ’sister’. Xu Chang’an stated that he understood, smiling wryly: "What kind of seniority is this?"

Following the hierarchy from Sir, Miss Yun really has become his ’aunt’ kind of status... Can she not be mature?

"I have my own separate terms with ’sister’ and you, it’s fine." Li Zhibai paused then said, "You actually... didn’t deny that Ms. Yun is more mature than you."

She initially thought Xu Chang’an would argue.

After all, from the appearance, Yun Qian only looks mature, but in reality, she seems to be the entirely immature one, always inseparable from her husband, always clinging to him, as if compared to Xu Chang’an, Yun Qian is the naive, unsophisticated girl.

"Miss..." Xu Chang’an spoke, lowering his eyelids.

Is Miss Yun naive, immature?

No one knows better than him how ripe the girl has become.

Even though Yun Qian seems truly innocent and unworldly, even though in front of him, she’s genuinely soft, as if she can’t do anything without him... Yet Xu Chang’an never forgot, the woman he saw after being flushed to the shore under the moonlight, like an Immortal God from the Nine Heavens.

It was truly a fantastical encounter, as if destined in a previous life.

Thus, Xu Chang’an knew very well that Yun Qian’s change, in the end, was simply because his presence made her lazy, if he weren’t there... what would Miss Yun be like.

"Perhaps it’s exactly as Sir said, she became immature to match me?" Xu Chang’an shrugged.

Being an immature husband, the wife naturally wouldn’t steal the spotlight... makes sense, right?

"You... okay, fine." Li Zhibai saw Xu Chang’an’s confident appearance and genuinely didn’t know what to say for a moment.

This kid is really confident.

But she has no place to refute, because Yun Qian is willing to change for him, even at all costs.

Forget it.

Not only Yun Qian, but she also is the same.

Li Zhibai looked far into the corner at Ah Qing, who was quietly waiting, and sighed lightly.

If it were the former Li Zhibai, she would not leave this woman related to the Sect Leader standing here talking to Xu Chang’an about these trivial matters...

But now, she instead enjoys this aimless talk among family more and more, no purpose, just see where the conversation goes.

"So, is there anything else you haven’t said?" Li Zhibai keenly sensed something, looking into Xu Chang’an’s eyes: "Whatever you wanted to say before, just say it now. Once you go back... when Tong Jun clings to you, there will be no chance."

"...Hmm." Xu Chang’an nodded.

He indeed had something unsaid.

"Sir, it’s regarding reincarnation."

"You like reincarnation, but that’s not considered selfish." Li Zhibai nodded, "And then? Tell me why you like reincarnation."

She was intrigued.

Because, given Chang’an’s personality, it couldn’t simply be because with reincarnation, he could meet Yun Qian again... at least, he wouldn’t be tangled over such a matter, so there must be a deeper reason.

"Sir, actually, there’s nothing much to say." Xu Chang’an blinked: "It’s just... Miss Yun isn’t interested in anything, so if there were a next life, I hope she can have experiences different from now, enriching her life’s experiences. Therefore... reincarnation must be a really great, great thing."

Li Zhibai: "..."

Looking at Xu Chang’an’s expectant and slightly blushing face, Li Zhibai was speechless.

???

So, this kid specifically brought up reincarnation just to show off affection?

It was indeed showing off.

Xu Chang’an’s thought is understandable, he hopes the existence of reincarnation is primarily for Yun Qian and not just for his own desires.

After all, if reincarnation exists, every lifetime could offer Yun Qian different experiences to enrich her life.

So, for Xu Chang’an, reincarnation allows Yun Qian to experience different lives, which is its greatest significance.

Wow.

Unexpectedly stuffing a mouthful of affection, making Li Zhibai’s eyes twitch several times.

"Is that all, nothing more to say?" Li Zhibai stared at him.

"That’s it." Xu Chang’an nodded with a smile.

With all this setup, he really was just here to show affection, after all... letting his mother see the love between him and his wife seems very important too.

"...Indeed you have a way." Li Zhibai had nothing to say. Mimicking Zhu Pingniang, she lightly kicked him and then laughed.

He likes reincarnation, yet it’s only because reincarnation brings different experiences to Ms. Yun...

What kind of liking is this?

Nevertheless, this kind of thought is quite adorable.

Wonder if Ms. Yun herself were to bring up reincarnation, what would she think? Would she like reincarnation? Or... like Xu Chang’an, would she also consider reincarnation a good thing?

Forget it, it’s unrelated to her, she’ll just be shown affection by Xu Chang’an here and again by Yun Qian back home.

"So, you intentionally showed off the affection between you and Ms. Yun, what do you want to say... forget it, even if I ask you, you’ll just play dumb." Li Zhibai glared at Xu Chang’an: "What did Tong Jun give you in return?"

"...Sir, you really have keen insight." Xu Chang’an averted his gaze somewhat guiltily.

Unexpected... exposed so quickly.

Indeed, he wasn’t just showing love, he was enhancing this ’love’ and ’romance’ atmosphere... maybe this way, he could improve the relationship between Li Zhibai and Zhu Pingniang.

Xu Chang’an thought his performance was quite natural, no one would generally notice this point, but Li Zhibai caught on immediately.

"Now, it’s your turn to manage my affairs." Li Zhibai picked up a ruler, lightly waving it.

She was surprised.

Surprised that... Chang’an was actually on Tong Jun’s side.

And that Chang’an was concerned about her ’emotional status’, she didn’t even feel a bit angry about this overreach.

Perhaps it’s a sign of affection.

"Sir, I just think... Ms. Zhu is indeed a good person, why don’t you..." Xu Chang’an looked at Li Zhibai’s increasingly dangerous look, spread his hands, and swallowed the rest of his words.

At this moment, Xu Chang’an once again felt, how indulgent Li Zhibai was to him.

Previously, would he dare involve himself in Li Zhibai and Zhu Pingniang’s affairs?

"Can I ask, what do you think of this?" Xu Chang’an asked.

"..." Li Zhibai didn’t respond directly, instead asking: "Why stand on Tong Jun’s side."

"Just asking, not taking sides."

"Alright, hand out." Li Zhibai said, and slammed the ruler hard on Xu Chang’an’s palm three times.

Ah Qing: "..."

Standing by and hearing all the conversation, Ah Qing was unexpectedly filled with sweetness and had not recovered yet, and then saw Xu Chang’an being punished on the palm, staring in disbelief.

Li Zhibai...

Truly remarkable.

Ah Qing somewhat wanted to get to know Li Zhibai more.

——

The ruler’s punishment got Li Zhibai to vent some anger when Xu Chang’an grimaced in pain.

"Actually, I don’t have many thoughts... don’t know how to handle her." Li Zhibai said calmly, satisfying Xu Chang’an’s curiosity: "Let Tong Jun’s matters take their course."

This is the first time Li Zhibai confronted Zhu Tongjun’s feelings directly.

Yet she truly didn’t know what to do.

She cares deeply for Tong Jun, but she couldn’t understand the nature of that emotion.

Li Zhibai used to believe that her Tong Jun wouldn’t be someone who only knew emotions, love... Their relationship should be deeper, indescribable.

But Zhu Tongjun’s actions told Li Zhibai that she is just a worldly person.

She just wants a Dao companion.

Just someone with simple desires.

So...

What should Li Zhibai do?

She is also at a loss.
