Chapter 1129: Chapter 619: Xu Chang’an’s Nature (Double-length) (2)

However, the more this happened, Ms. Zhu noticed her heart increasingly leaned toward Yun Qian, and her slight attraction to Chang’an seemed to slowly shift to Yun Qian.

"Hmm, I also really like you, sister. Perhaps in the future, I might like you even more than Chang’an," Ms. Zhu said earnestly.

Miss Lu: "..."

She looked speechless, having nothing further to say about this wicked woman Ms. Zhu. As Ms. Zhu’s daughter, she only felt embarrassed.

"..." Yun Qian didn’t speak. She pondered for a moment, thinking it was better for Ms. Zhu to like him more, after all, she seemed to have ’snatched’ a lot of fate that originally belonged to Young Master Xu.

"Ms. Zhu, will Young Master Xu be angry because Mao’Er bit Miss Yun?" Miss Lu couldn’t help but bring the topic back to Mao’Er; she couldn’t stand Ms. Zhu going crazy in front of Yun Qian anymore. If she kept saying she liked the gentleman and he heard when he returned from outside, wouldn’t the girls of Flower Moon Building lose face?

"Angry? I don’t think Chang’an would be angry over such a trivial matter," Ms. Zhu lightly snorted.

"Eh, not angry?" Miss Lu was puzzled. If the girls from Flower Moon Building were scratched by Li Hua, she would indeed be angry.

"Chang’an definitely wouldn’t be angry. Instead... he would be so indifferent that Xiaohua would feel completely disheartened," Ms. Zhu lowered her eyelids.

Indifference...

She could roughly envisage the change in Xu Chang’an’s gaze, from slightly warm and calm to indifferent and dismissive; just thinking about it a little made her body tremble with excitement.

After all, anger and fury could still be remedied... but indifference meant there was really no turning back.

Chang’an and she were very much alike.

The world is vast, but not greater than the people she cares about.

Ms. Zhu could put the entire Qing Province on the scales, then put Xu Chang’an on the other side, and stand by her side unwaveringly. For someone like Ms. Zhu, after understanding Chang’an’s ’essence,’ she became even more infatuated and fond of this young man.

Then there were the mountain bandits.

Eradicate them completely.

Ms. Zhu had probably never seen Xu Chang’an acting so decisively that even Li Zhibai felt guilty about Xu Chang’an lacking in edge, but she always remained noncommittal.

Xu Chang’an never had the impression that he was a person who avoided trouble or was weak. After all... it’s just that things never affected Yun Qian. Imagine if it involved Yun Qian, and then see what that young man would be like?

Wen Li: "..."

After a brief silence, Wen Li didn’t speak.

She acknowledged that Ms. Zhu was telling the truth.

Actually, their thoughts weren’t wrong. Xu Chang’an never considered himself to be gentle, nor a gentleman, from the very start.

He was a very indifferent person.

Indifferent to the point that even when he had the opportunity to learn about his biological parents, he refused, simply because he feared their existence might diminish Yun Qian’s place in his heart. Even if just a little, he resists that immensely.

Moreover, because he comes from an ’Otherworld,’ Xu Chang’an felt no belonging to this world at all. Miss Yun was his everything; as long as Yun Qian could live peacefully, anything else meant nothing to him.

If such a person isn’t indifferent, then what is indifference?

His highest standard for himself was to be ’Wenliang’ for others, but that was only when matters didn’t involve Yun Qian. All things outside of Yun Qian held little significance in his heart.

Xu Chang’an occasionally mused, wondering if one day Miss Yun were to disappear from his side, what would he become?

Not sure, but certainly not a good person.

Ms. Zhu crossed one leg and looked towards the door, her eyes tinged with jealousy: "That’s why I’m jealous of Ah Bai."

Li Zhibai.

This woman is truly remarkable.

Because Chang’an’s heart was already full of Yun Qian, if you dissected the name Xu Chang’an stroke by stroke, all you’d see is Yun Qian... yet amidst all this, Li Zhibai managed to carve out a tiny spot in Xu Chang’an’s heart, small though it might be, it did settle there.

Ms. Zhu was very jealous of Li Zhibai.

Because she knew she couldn’t accomplish such a feat.

"Truly impressive..." Ms. Zhu softly snorted, looking at Yun Qian, and earnestly said: "Ms. Yun, I pose no threat to you; Ah Bai is the real threat, she can make Chang’an care today, and perhaps she would want to become his mother tomorrow."

"...?"

Yun Qian blinked and then nodded.

The nod wasn’t apprehension towards Li Zhibai, but like Ms. Zhu, Yun Qian also felt Li Zhibai was very impressive, worthy of being the main wife.

"Ms. Zhu." Miss Lu’s eye twitched as she pinched the soft flesh on Ms. Zhu’s waist.

She couldn’t take anymore of her sister’s crazy talk.

"Just kidding, why are you so rigid? Even Ah Li didn’t interrupt me..." Ms. Zhu hissed but obediently refrained from further teasing Yun Qian, only sparing a glance at Wen Li: with a smile: "Xiaohua has followed Chang’an for so long, how could it not know Miss Yun’s status in Chang’an’s heart? Had it dared to bite down, it’d better prepare to go wandering."

Ms. Zhu knew too well Yun Qian’s significance to Xu Chang’an, so in Beisang City, she showed great care for Yun Qian, never even allowing for injury, nor letting a single man near Yun Qian’s street of residence. Under her command, the entire street was filled with young maidens from residents to shopkeepers...

Ms. Zhu liked so much, she wouldn’t even want to see Xu Chang’an upset, let alone a mere cat.

"There’s no doubt about the reason Xiaohua fears Ms. Yun," Ms. Zhu asked.

"Hmm." Wen Li nodded.

Actually, she already figured that out. The discussion extended until now because through this matter they could vaguely perceive their junior’s essence.

Wen Li thought this wasn’t a bad thing, because she also understood a person couldn’t be selfless, gentle, and virtuous from inside out.

Yet for their junior... at least when it didn’t involve Junior Sister Yun, he was as she knew him.

Does this seem inconsistent?

Not at all.

Wen Li smiled.

She thought their junior should be like this, everyone must have ideals, hers was ’Chang’an,’ and her junior’s was Junior Sister; what’s wrong with that?

Wen Li tilted her head, watching Ah Qing winding down her dance below, then looked at her own fingers.

Exactly.

Named Wen Li, this young woman wasn’t all that gentle.

Their junior cared only for Junior Sister, and her concern was solely for Muyu Peak’s sisters, her family... she too was a ruthless young woman.

"Junior Sister Yun, you must follow with me and cultivate well," Wen Li suddenly said: "This way, you can keep him at ease."

"...Hmm." Yun Qian nodded: "Only then can I ask for a child."

Wen Li: "..."

Ms. Zhu: "..."

Miss Lu: "..."

Alright.

Yun Qian’s one sentence rendered the room quiet.

This topic had reached such a high rank that the three of them couldn’t keep up.

——

Compared to the everlasting immortals, ephemeral life always swiftly passes. A person’s life from start to end seems sudden in a moment." Xu Chang’an shook his head: "Even if there are immortals here now, compared to the universe, they are but a grain of sand and a soft heart."

He had long ago told Yun Qian that he cared only about this life.

Xu Chang’an held Yun Qian’s hand earnestly and said: "Some things, if not done to the best in this lifetime and left to the next... it is regretful, and irresponsible."

Therefore, he disliked and didn’t believe in reincarnation.

"I didn’t clearly convey my words just now." Xu Chang’an turned around, gazing at the sea, earnestly said: "I said I want to finish everything in this life, leaving absolutely no regrets, so I don’t like the next life... yet I know inside, I hope for a next life, for reincarnation."
