How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 507: You Actually Sided With Him

After arriving at that place, she could still sense a very faint spatial fluctuation.

She felt a bit suspicious in her heart.

In fact, the reason she was able to obtain Wuyue’s Space Jade Pendant after her rebirth was that her perception of these things far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Perhaps it was because her soul had traveled through more than a decade of time, making her sensitive to these elusive yet real things.

Moreover, at certain times, she could even see the fortunes of others.

Those specific times referred to when the moon was full or new.

Of course, the last time she saw fortunes, she found that the red aura around her was the strongest.

She referred to that thing as fortune.

And when it was purple, it meant either the person had an extremely good fate or was associated with the Imperial Family.

At least for now, she hadn’t seen anyone with a purple aura.

She took out the Space Jade Pendant and aimed it at the spatial fluctuation.

Then the remnants of the spatial fluctuation disappeared, all absorbed into the pendant space.

The space within the pendant seemed to have a small crack filled.

Her space was incomplete, so she could only use this method to mend her space.

Meanwhile, Pei Shu’er had also returned home. Tang Zan was leaving tomorrow, so she had to spend some quality time with him.

Tang Zan sat in the room, with some dishes on the table. Seeing Pei Shu’er come in, he looked up.

Pei Shu’er felt a bit awkward and cleared her throat.

"I didn’t know you were waiting for me."

Tang Zan’s eyes were slightly resentful. Pei Shu’er, knowing she was at fault, walked over to Tang Zan and coyly wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Why don’t we go to the small pavilion for a barbecue? Have a little barbecue gathering?"

She knew Tang Zan liked barbecue.

Tang Zan nodded slightly.

Pei Shu’er immediately had someone prepare it, and she also took Tang Zan to sit in the pavilion.

Xiao Shen and Mrs. Xiao Lin also came, sitting next to Pei Shu’er.

Mrs. Xiao Lin said with a smile, "How could we miss out on barbecue?"

Xiao Shen smiled and grilled meat for Pei Shu’er, then handed her a skewer.

As for Mrs. Xiao Lin, she could only eat some fruits and pastries; she couldn’t have such stimulating food as barbecue.

Pei Shu’er looked at Tang Zan and found him also looking at her.

Xiao Shen likewise was watching her, with an expectant gaze.

Pei Shu’er felt the atmosphere was a bit like a battlefield.

If she ate Xiao Shen’s barbecue, Tang Zan would surely be upset.

But if she didn’t eat it, she would be rejecting him too obviously, which would put Xiao Shen in an awkward position.

After all, he had grilled for a long time.

She smiled and said, "Let me taste Imperial Uncle’s skills and see if there’s anything that needs improvement."

Tang Zan’s face looked a bit unpleasant, but Xiao Shen’s smile became a bit more genuine.

Pei Shu’er took a bite and gave a very fair critique.

"Overall, the taste of the barbecue is very good, but the timing of applying the sauce was a bit early, which makes the sauce have a slightly imperceptible bitter taste."

Tang Zan’s expression improved a little.

Hmph, Pei Shu’er just regarded Xiao Shen as a mere cook.

Xiao Shen’s expression remained normal, though there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He took the skewer Pei Shu’er had eaten from and immediately put it in his mouth to taste it.

Pei Shu’er felt something was seriously wrong; Xiao Shen’s actions were somewhat out of line.

Tang Zan’s face had turned extremely unpleasant. He stood up and, in a few steps, was next to Xiao Shen, grabbing Xiao Shen’s collar and lifting him up.

"Xiao, don’t go too far."

Xiao Shen raised an eyebrow and glanced at Tang Zan, then laughed.

"How am I going too far? Pei Shu’er critiqued this skewer, so of course, I tasted this one too."

Tang Zan raised his fist to hit, but Pei Shu’er quickly grabbed his hand.

She shook her head at Tang Zan, "Tang Zan, don’t fight."

Yet, Pei Shu’er’s stance of intervention made Tang Zan even more upset, like a trapped beast, he roared lowly.

"You’re actually siding with him?"

Tang Zan wanted to hit Xiao Shen but couldn’t, feeling so frustrated he wanted to leave, but held back by Pei Shu’er’s grip, he dared not struggle too hard, afraid of hurting her.

Pei Shu’er looked towards Xiao Shen and spoke.

"I know Uncle Xiao is passionate about culinary arts, but the actions just now were inappropriate. I’ve already married, and even if I hadn’t, Uncle Xiao’s actions were unsuitable."

Tang Zan felt less distressed upon hearing Pei Shu’er say this.

It seemed Pei Shu’er was on his side, right?

Instantly, he didn’t want to leave anymore, wanting to watch the scene unfold.

But looking at Xiao Shen’s still grim expression.

Tang Zan’s face improved even more.

Pei Shu’er even wondered if Tang Zan was going to rush up and hit Xiao Shen.

So she kept holding onto him tightly.

If Tang Zan was a sharp blade drawn, harming others and oneself.

Then she must be the scabbard, holding him back from a path leading to being forsaken by all.

After all, such an outcome for Tang Zan was truly miserable.

Every misstep towards that conclusion was a catalyst.

Xiao Shen looked at Pei Shu’er, then at Tang Zan, and smiled bitterly.

"I was indeed rash."

He had just wanted to taste how it was and had not spared much thought.

Of course, privately, there was also an intention to provoke Tang Zan and indirectly express his feelings to Pei Shu’er.

His apology eased Pei Shu’er’s heart.

She half pulled, half dragged Tang Zan back to his seat.

Speaking in a soft, gentle voice, meant for his ears only, comforting him.

"Sweetie, don’t be mad. Why bother bickering with him? He’s just an outsider. If you hurt him, the Emperor would have more reason to act against the Tang Family."

Tang Zan looked at Pei Shu’er and finally huffed softly.

"He did it on purpose."

Pei Shu’er couldn’t agree nor disagree with Tang Zan’s statement.

She could only keep comforting him repeatedly, "Sweetie, we’re about to part soon. It’s not worth wasting time on this."

Tang Zan’s anger barely subsided, but then he suddenly turned to Pei Shu’er.

"What did you just call me?"

Pei Shu’er: "...."

She was wrong!

She had used a way to coax little children to coax Tang Zan, even using the same term.

Now, she even felt embarrassed herself.

Pei Shu’er’s cheeks flushed.

"I just... just called your name."

Tang Zan raised an eyebrow, "Is my name Tang Baobao?"

Pei Shu’er covered her face, turned around, and faced away from Tang Zan.

Tang Zan clearly felt happy, the corners of his mouth lifting into a deeper smile as he looked at Pei Shu’er.

"Alright, you’ll call me that later too?"

"Later" was a moment Pei Shu’er was all too aware of.

Pei Shu’er: "No... I dare not."

Once she called Tang Zan that, he, like a wolf cub, would probably get so excited she’d end up sore and aching for days.

Tang Zan burst into laughter, having been amused by Pei Shu’er’s call of "Sweetie" despite being angry a moment ago.

Actually, when she called him "Sweetie," her voice was soft, filled with infinite comfort and tenderness.

Like a spring breeze brushing past.

Not a bit greasy at all.

Tang Zan found it very pleasing.
