When a Husband and Wife Fight at the Head of the Bed, They Make Up at the Foot-I'm the One Who Went to Break It Up
Bai Qiuran returned home, he saw Su Xiangxue sitting at the table in his room with her back to him.
Li Jinyao, Jiang Lan, and Tang Ruowei were also there. The latter sat far away, observing from the sidelines, while the former two sat next to Su Xiangxue. Jiang Lan was saying something with a wry smile, while Li Jinyao was very respectful and gentle as she poured tea for Su Xiangxue.
Xiangxue is angry...
After spending so much time together, Bai Qiuran's steely resolve had softened, and he clearly noticed that Su Xiangxue was in a bad mood.
Of course, Bai Qiuran could completely understand her feelings. Su Xiangxue had been working hard to cultivate the Thought-Splitting Technique in order to help him, but after she came out of seclusion, she saw that Li Jinyao and Bai Qiuran established a relationship.
This is roughly equivalent to a wife working hard on a business trip to earn money to support the family, only to return home and, before she can even rest, see her husband walking towards her arm in arm with a little girl from next door, smiling and saying, "Let me introduce you, you're sisters from now on."
It's considered good that this wife didn't tear her husband and younger sister's faces to shreds on the spot.
Although polygamy is common in the mortal world of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou, Cultivators Dao Companion are basically one-on-one. Bai Qiuran asked himself honestly and felt that he had indeed wronged her.
But he couldn't let Li Jinyao down either. Now that things had come to this... it seemed he could only obediently admit defeat and try to appease Su Xiangxue.
However, asking Bai Qiuran to coax a girl was truly a challenge for him. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out how to do it or how to start the conversation. So, he could only bite the bullet and walk in, coughing as he said, "I'm back."
Welcome back.
Jiang Lan and Li Jinyao spoke at the same time, while Tang Ruowei, holding a teacup, squatted to the side like a squirrel and waved to him, but Su Xiangxue still had her back to him and did not react.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan gave Bai Qiuran a look, signaling him to come over. Bai Qiuran walked to the opposite side of Su Xiangxue, sat down, and said to her, "Xiangxue, I'm back."
"Um."
Su Xiangxue picked up her teacup, covered her mouth, and only gave a lukewarm reply, which was quite indifferent.
In the past, when Bai Qiuran returned, she would have been the happiest and most enthusiastic one.
Her words left Bai Qiuran speechless, and the two of them stood there in silence, stunned.
Perhaps unable to bear the atmosphere any longer, Bai Qiuran suddenly received Spiritual Sense from Jiang Lan.
"Qiuran, quickly start a conversation to cheer Xiangxue up."
Bai Qiuran responded with her Spiritual Sense, "But I don't know how to start."
"Just pick any topic, as long as it gets her to respond, anything is negotiable."
Jiang Lan urged.
So Bai Qiuran and asked Su Xiangxue, "Xiangxue... have you had dinner yet?"
"Laugh..."
Upon hearing Bai Qiuran's words, Jiang Lan slapped her face, unable to bear the sight, while Tang Ruowei couldn't help but chuckle, even spitting out the tea in her mouth.
But when she glanced at Su Xiangxue, she was so startled that she quickly covered her mouth, suppressing her laughter, while simultaneously cleaning the tea that had dripped onto Su Xiangxue's chin and clothes.
I haven't eaten yet, I've been waiting for you.
Su Xiangxue glanced blankly at Bai Qiuran, then sighed.
"Never mind."
She said, "Let's eat first."
"Yes, yes, let's eat first."
Li Jinyao stood up abruptly, ran into the kitchen, and brought up the food she had prepared and kept warm with magic. Su Xiangxue also began to help.
Seeing this, Bai Qiuran quietly asked Jiang Lan, "Lan'er, is Xiangxue alright now?"
"Okay... no way, of course she's still angry."
Jiang Lan gave him a disappointed look.
"Can't you even see that? Sigh..."
She frowned in distress, her expression seemingly saying, "I'm a noob, I can't carry this team."
"Senior Qiuran and Sister Lan'er, there's no need to worry."
At the crucial moment, Li Jinyao, who was serving the dishes, used her Spiritual Sense to communicate with the two of them, and subtly changed her address to Bai Qiuran.
"I can leave this to Jinyao."
Jiang Lan and Bai Qiuran exchanged a glance, then replied Spiritual Sense, "Jinyao, are you really capable of handling this? To be honest, I think to solve the problem, this blockhead needs to come to his senses..."
"No problem, I can teach Senior Qiuran how to do it."
Li Jinyao squinted one eye and gave the two of them an "OK" sign.
"Don't worry, Jinyao has already made the arrangements."
The next morning, Jiang Lan, who was out for a walk, ran into Su Xiangxue, who was on her way to the Hehuan Sect to handle some matters.
Good morning, Sister Lan.
Su Xiangxue greeted her warmly, her voice gentle and her demeanor graceful and charming, just as she always was.
Good morning, Xiangxue.
Jiang Lan greeted her.
Are you going to work?
"Yes."
Su Xiangxue nodded.
"I've made some porridge and snacks and put them on the table. Could you please tell Qiuran, Sister Lan, not to waste them? I'm in a hurry, so I'll be leaving now."
"Good."
Jiang Lan watched Su Xiangxue leave in a hurry with curiosity, muttering, "She's really back to normal, and not sulking anymore?"
She was very curious, so she stopped her walk and went straight home. Then she saw Li Jinyao walk out of Bai Qiuran's room, stretch her waist, and have a rosy complexion.
"Jinyao."
Jiang Lan greeted her, "Get up! Good morning."
Good morning, Sister Lan, you're up so early again.
Li Jinyao smiled sweetly and replied.
Having lived together for so long, she knew that Jiang Lan had a habit of getting up early every morning to take a walk.
I just saw Xiangxue.
Jiang Lan said to her.
Li Jinyao, who was halfway through her stretch, immediately relaxed upon hearing this and laughed, "How is it? Sister Xiangxue has returned to her old self, hasn't she?"
"Yes, indeed."
Jiang Lan asked curiously, "How did you do that?"
As his wife, she was well aware of her husband's foul mouth and his incredibly low emotional intelligence... No, comparing him to an iron tree is an understatement; after all, an iron tree actually blooms once every ten years, while Bai Qiuran, that blockhead, has been wooden for over three thousand years...
Asking him to find a way to make Su Xiangxue happy would be difficult for either of them.
"That's easy."
Li Jinyao said with a grin, "As the saying goes, couples who quarrel in bed make up before they get out of bed, so naturally I let them reconcile before they even got out of bed."
"I see."
Jiang Lan nodded and said, "A simple, direct, yet effective method."
Only someone like Li Jinyao, who comes from the Heavenly Demon Sect, could come up with such an idea. Jiang Lan, who comes from Heavenly Gods background, is still too naive.
"That's not right."
Jiang Lan thought for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Li Jinyao, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, you also spent the night in Qiuran's room last night, right? What were you doing there?"
"Me? I'm an indispensable character."
Li Jinyao said seriously, "They were fighting in bed, and I was the one who went to break them up."
