My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 681 - 0391 Innate Restraint (2-in-1)_2

As expected, Ms. Zhu felt that as a lady of Muyu Peak, meeting a woman who looks more beautiful than herself naturally makes her feel inferior, coupled with the fact that she indeed feels sorry towards Yun Qian... thus she panicked and couldn’t speak.

It makes sense.

After realizing her own guilt, she immediately started dissecting her thoughts. The answer was definitely not as bizarre as Miss Lu might have imagined. Although there is indeed some reason for her pretending to "seduce" Xu Chang’an, most of the cause still comes from... Liu Qingluo.

After all, she’s the one who personally sent Qingluo into the Immortal Sect.

Qingluo may be self-aware, but it doesn’t prevent Ms. Zhu from feeling guilty herself.

She herself knew she had no intention of ruining the relationship between Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian, but being looked at by Yun Qian with that penetrating gaze inexplicably quickened her heartbeat, and she couldn’t control it.

’Can’t let this continue.’

Ms. Zhu realized she needed to find a topic.

Otherwise, her embarrassing appearance would be seen clearly by the maidens, and who knows how they would think of her.

"...Ms. Yun, I heard from Chang’an that you don’t often board large ships, did you get seasick?" Ms. Zhu asked.

"No." Yun Qian simply replied.

Miss Lu: "..."

Alright.

She confirmed, at this moment Ms. Zhu was indeed out of her mind.

My good sister, just look at the way Miss Yun eats those snacks slowly, does it look like she’s seasick?

If it were her usual self, Ms. Zhu would never ask such foolish questions with her keen mind.

She continued observing, and heard Ms. Zhu ask.

"Ms. Yun... is this ribbon bought by Chang’an from Cuiyu Street? I remember... Ah Qing also has an identical one." Ms. Zhu said dryly.

Miss Lu: "..."

"No." Yun Qian took out a handkerchief to wipe her lips, and simply explained the origin of the ribbon to Ms. Zhu.

It was bought by Xu Chang’an from Ah Qing.

Compared to Ms. Zhu’s inexplicable panic, Yun Qian’s composed demeanor contrasted her greatly, leaving Miss Lu momentarily unsure about whose banquet this truly is, who the real host is.

"Oh, I see." Ms. Zhu nodded: "I understand now, Chang’an wants to tell me through getting Ah Qing’s ribbon... that he doesn’t dislike half-demons at all... right."

Miss Lu: "..."

Listening to Ms. Zhu’s words, she covered her face with one hand, unable to find the words.

Ms. Zhu, snap out of it!!

What are you saying!

This can’t go on, it’s not just Ms. Zhu’s face being lost now, but the faces of all the ladies of Flower Moon Building.

Miss Lu lightly coughed and then spoke a few words to the woman beside her.

The woman understood, picked up the wine flask in front of her, poured a cup of sake, and gracefully walked over to Ms. Zhu and Yun Qian. After respectfully saluting both, she offered the drink to Ms. Zhu.

"Sister, you’ve worked hard." The woman appeared to offer a toast to Ms. Zhu.

The sudden intervention of a third party broke the awkward atmosphere around Ms. Zhu, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief. She accepted the cup and drank it in one go.

After the drink, Ms. Zhu’s face visibly improved. Satisfied, she smiled at the maid who came up to toast and save her from awkwardness.

Seeing Ms. Zhu smile, "the courage that alcohol gives the coward" couldn’t help flashing across Miss Lu’s mind.

In such situations, one toast often follows another.

Soon, a second lady voluntarily came to offer Ms. Zhu more drinks, which she didn’t refuse, as she wouldn’t get drunk anyway.

Soon after, Miss Lu felt it was about time, so she approached.

"Alright." She ushered away the girls who continued approaching, addressing Ms. Zhu: "Sister, drink less today to avoid getting drunk; dinner hasn’t even started."

Ms. Zhu discontentedly glared at Miss Lu.

Now you come over, why didn’t you earlier.

"...Sister, some ingredients have arrived, you should go have a look." Miss Lu realized she couldn’t let Ms. Zhu and Yun Qian be alone, otherwise, Ms. Zhu might not speak at all.

"Oh, I’ll go right away." Ms. Zhu stood up and gave Yun Qian an apologetic look before leaving.

Although she didn’t say anything, Miss Lu still felt that Ms. Zhu had the word "escape" written all over her retreating figure.

Miss Lu lightly sighed, sat down in Ms. Zhu’s place, and gave Yun Qian an apologetic look.

"Sorry if Miss Yun found this laughable." Miss Lu said helplessly: "Sister sometimes just isn’t very smart... Please don’t dislike her."

"There’s nothing funny about it." Yun Qian nodded and said: "I quite like her."

"?"

Listening to Yun Qian’s words, Miss Lu froze for a moment.

Miss Yun, can you genuinely say such things easily?

Looking up, she saw Yun Qian’s calm face, and realized that the woman before her wouldn’t lie.

She really does quite like Ms. Zhu.

It’s a pity her sister has questionable thoughts toward the young master, truly letting down Miss Yun’s liking.

"Miss Yun, are you getting used to the food in Beisang City?"

"Yes." Yun Qian nodded.

Miss Lu casually started a few topics, and although Yun Qian didn’t seem very interested, she still responded to Miss Lu’s thoughts, talking about her life in Beisang City.

Compared to the awkwardness of Ms. Zhu, the atmosphere between Miss Lu and Yun Qian was much better, even though the topics lacked substance, it was harmonious.

Miss Lu thought it was because she didn’t feel guilty. As she stared blankly at Yun Qian’s side profile, she realized that there really are such beautiful women in the world.

Goodness.

If the young master came here with the lady dressed modestly for the banquet, wasn’t he really trying to cause a stir?

Just as Miss Lu was thinking this, Yun Qian turned her head to meet Miss Lu’s gaze.

"Do you like him?" Yun Qian asked.

"Miss Yun, are you referring to Young Master Xu?" Miss Lu was somewhat astonished.

"Yes." Yun Qian looked at her.

"Certainly I like him." Miss Lu said candidly without hesitation: "Which of our ladies wouldn’t like the young master."

Yun Qian nodded, her gaze towards Miss Lu softening noticeably.

Miss Lu vaguely sensed the emotional change in Yun Qian, and looked at her with bewilderment, though eventually she lowered her head thoughtfully.

Sighing inwardly.

Miss Yun isn’t nearly as cold as she seems usually, isn’t she quite approachable?

Indeed, it’s really my sister who’s hiding something.

Forget it, forget it, don’t think about these things.

Miss Lu signaled a nearby maid to bring over a plate of fresh snacks, placing it in front of Yun Qian.

The fruits were cut into golden slices, looking tasty and sweet.

There’s a noticeable difference between the two plates, while both contain fruit, one plate seems particularly cold, as if entirely frozen on the plate, with the fruit juices icing up below, the other half looks fresh, soft like jelly, seemingly delicious.

"Miss Yun, please try our Flower Moon Building’s specialty snacks." Miss Lu hosted Yun Qian, thoughtfully remarking: "The taste is better chilled, but if Gui Water is imminent, eating them at room temperature is preferable."

Seeing the snacks, Yun Qian showed some interest.

Although not made by Xu Chang’an, as it was a type she hadn’t seen, if she liked it, Xu Chang’an could surely replicate them for her to eat.

Miss Lu: "..."

Watching the light emerge in Yun Qian’s black eyes, Miss Lu thought this Miss Yun was in fact easy to understand.

Who wouldn’t like her.

As expected, whether it’s the young master or the lady, they are truly captivating.

At this moment, Miss Lu thought if any woman had the charm to marry in as a concubine, it would be a fortunate event indeed.

By then, having Young Master Xu on one side and Miss Yun on the other... there might be no greater satisfaction in the world.

She watched Yun Qian lightly open her cherry lips, gently biting a piece, then she herself picked one up and tossed it in her mouth.

The taste was very sweet.

"Does Miss Yun enjoy sweet foods?"

"Yes."

"And the young master?" Miss Lu asked curiously: "I’m still unsure of the young master’s palate."

"He doesn’t particularly like sweets."

"I thought as much." Miss Lu showed an expression of indeed: "Men generally don’t favor sweet foods."

She watched Yun Qian nod along with her.

Splay her hands.

See, interacting with Miss Yun is evidently simple, unsure what could be difficult about it.
