Wife and Loli

Su Nanxiu didn't care about Yan Qingcheng's rejection, just as she didn't care whether Yan Huaye's life had been tripped up or whether it was something Yan Huaye had to endure.

Everyone's fate is changed by choices made unintentionally, and we should bear the consequences ourselves. We must either accept it or fight back; complaining and blaming others is pointless.

From the moment Yan Huaye met Liu Jianshe, her fate changed. If she had no connection with Liu Jianshe, it could only be said that she chose to miss out, just like Yan Qingcheng today.

Su Nanxiu went back and saw Liu Chang'an and Shangguan Dandan already eating roasted sweet potato slices.

"I haven't made this in a long time, because raw sweet potatoes are quite expensive in supermarkets and farmers' markets now," Liu Chang'an said to Shangguan Dandan. The sweet potato slices that Yan Qingcheng brought also had sesame seeds in them. Some people add dried tangerine peel or chili peppers, and now some people also add dried meat, but the dried meat has to have very little moisture, otherwise it is not easy to preserve.

"It'll taste even better if it's roasted a little longer, but I want to eat meat buns." Shangguan Dandan tore the soft sweet potato slices in her hand into strips and stuffed them into her mouth.

Liu Chang'an watched her small mouth, her lips opening and closing rapidly as she quickly sucked the whole thing in. She ate so fast, yet she maintained an elegant and graceful demeanor. He really didn't know how she did it.

"Compared to back then, the world has made tremendous progress in terms of food, both in the refinement of ingredients and the development of cooking methods. For example, the pork we ate back then wasn't as delicious and tender as it is now." Liu Chang'an remarked on the development of human civilization. In fact, pigs are a profound trace of human civilization's development; no other animal has ever provided humans with as many industrial raw materials as pigs.

The entire body of a pig, including its hair, fat, and bones, has extremely wide-ranging industrial value. Sometimes, saying that one should be as useful as a pig is truly a high compliment.

Everyone should feel genuinely proud when someone praises them for being like a pig.

"Will Zhou Shuling make me meat buns tonight?" Shangguan Dandan wasn't concerned about the pork; she still tilted her head and looked at Liu Chang'an expectantly.

"How would I know?" Liu Chang'an continued eating sweet potato slices. One of the more annoying things about Shangguan Dandan was that once she had a question, she wouldn't listen to anything you said until you answered it, and she would keep fixating on it.

"Zhou Shuling's meat buns are really delicious. She's more useful than your other wives." Shangguan Dandan rolled up a slice of sweet potato, making it into the shape of a meat bun, and stuffed it into her mouth little by little.

"My girlfriend's name is An Nuan. It means 'to hold her brings peace, to be with her brings warmth,' remember that?" Liu Chang'an pulled Shangguan Dandan away from the fireplace because someone else was coming to use it.

Shangguan Dandan continued to think about her own things.

What a coincidence!

Su Nanxiu, who was walking down the pier towards the willow tree, ran into Liu Chang'an and Shangguan Dandan.

Shangguan Dandan had just stuffed all the sweet potato slices rolled into the shape of meat buns into her mouth. Although her mouth was full of food, she didn't let her cheeks puff out, and it was impossible for anyone to notice that her entire oral cavity was moving around actively.

The Empress Dowager possessed extremely skillful techniques.

"Every encounter in life is a projection of billions of years since the birth of the universe. It's a coincidence, but nothing good about it." Liu Chang'an smiled. "Those of you who have met before, I don't need to introduce you, right?"

Shangguan Dandan nodded without speaking, because she was being controlled by the sweet potato scraper.

"What I can't understand is this... this is... nothing, this girl who looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, she claims to be your mother?" This has always been something Su Nanxiu found utterly absurd.

However, this absurd feeling, and the curiosity it aroused, were not as important as Liu Chang'an himself. Therefore, when Su Nanxiu met Liu Chang'an alone last time, she did not waste time asking him about Su Nanxiu.

It seems unlikely that Su Nanxiu will succeed in persuading Liu Chang'an to have a child with her, something that is extremely important to science, humanity, civilization, and the couple. Therefore, Su Nanxiu can now focus on other things.

As an expert who has devoted most of his life to the study of life phenomena, Shangguan Dandan is very mysterious, second only to Liu Chang'an in terms of the enigma surrounding her.

Or rather, at this stage, Su Nanxiu is more curious about Shangguan Dandan. After all, Liu Chang'an is a separate species, and Su Nanxiu already knows a little about him. He is even her husband. So, the mystery surrounding him is not as completely unclear as that Shangguan Dandan.

Su Nanxiu knew nothing about Shangguan Dandan, except for the invisible pressure Shangguan Dandan exerted on Su Nanxiu, like the gaze of a forest king surveying his territory over a small animal on the food chain.

Why? Even Liu Chang'an didn't give off this feeling... Su Nanxiu had some understanding of this. Liu Chang'an had restrained himself, suppressed his original rank... He had been trying to live like a human being for countless millennia.

Strange Shangguan Dandan, strange Liu Chang'an... Su Nanxiu had to admit that when these two stood together, the jealousy and resentment she usually felt were greatly suppressed.

"Since she claims to be herself, why do you care?" Liu Chang'an told Shangguan Dandan not to bring it up, Su Nanxiu obviously didn't realize that Liu Chang'an disliked this very much.

Shangguan Dandan pinched Liu Chang'an's little finger, making Liu Chang'an look at her eyes.

Liu Chang'an didn't look. Shangguan Dandan's habit of "reading my eyes and understanding my meaning" was something she developed in the Everlasting Palace, and it seemed unlikely that she would change it anytime soon.

"What exactly is your relationship with her?" Su Nanxiu didn't believe it either. Shangguan Dandan and Su Nanxiu looked about the same age, but who knew their real age? However, Su Nanxiu observed that behind Shangguan Dandan's imposing aura, there was indeed the appearance of a young girl.

Liu Chang'an also has a quirk: he likes to carry a little girl with him. He used to like carrying Ye Sijin, but now is it this one? On the surface, none of these little girls have any intimate romantic relationship with him.

"What is her relationship with me, and what is it to you?" Liu Chang'an asked gently, turning to point at Yan Qingcheng. "I have absolutely no relationship with her. Please stop bothering her, okay?"

Su Nanxiu glanced at Shangguan Dandan, who remained silent, then turned to look at Yan Qingcheng. She saw a boy in a DK-style uniform smilingly approaching Yan Qingcheng and chatting with her.

Yan Qingcheng glanced back casually and saw Su Nanxiu and Liu Chang'an looking at her. She thought to herself that these young masters from prominent families really knew each other. She wondered why they were looking at her. Were they talking about something related to her? Feeling a little strange, she smiled and walked over.

The boy followed.

"Let me introduce you, this is Qin Tianlai from the Normal University." Yan Qingcheng noticed Qin Tianlai followed her and introduced him out of politeness.

Although Yan Qingcheng felt that given Su Nanxiu and Liu Chang'an's personalities, they probably had no interest in getting to know anyone, and the two didn't seem very close or familiar with each other, their mannerisms were somewhat similar.

Qin Tianlai flashed a friendly, outgoing smile. "My name always reminds people of Wang Tianlai from 'Rural Love Story,' so I usually suggest you call me Qingtianlai, the 'Qing' in 'sunny,' doesn't it sound much more poetic?"

"Are you making fun of people from South Hunan who can't distinguish between front and back nasal sounds?" Liu Chang'an said with a smile. He was a warm and generous person, not at all like what Yan Qingcheng thought.

"How could that be? I'm from South Hunan too." Qin Tianlai quickly waved his hand, then glanced at the two fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls, looking somewhat amazed. "Are these your sisters? They're so beautiful; they'll definitely be stunning beauties in the future."

Yan Qingcheng glanced at Qin Tianlai. Qin Tianlai looked at the two little girls without showing any inappropriate expression... But who knows? There are so many perverts these days, and so many lolicon. If you occasionally browse some male-oriented web novels online, there are plenty of stories about raising lolis and old men being reborn to chase after middle and high school girls. Men... don't think of them as too upright.

Qin Tianlai was actually Yan Qingcheng's suitor. Yan Qingcheng wasn't interested in him, but she couldn't help thinking Qin Tianlai a bit foolish. Yan Qingcheng wasn't exactly known for her looks, and for him to praise another girl as a super beauty in front of her was practically implying that Yan Qingcheng wasn't pretty enough. Regardless of whether he meant it or not, saying something like that was really stupid.

"I am his wife." Su Nanxiu glanced coldly at Qin Tianlai. She hated nothing more than having a younger sister, let alone someone who treated her as his sister. Wouldn't that make her like Ye Sijin? Disgusting.

After Su Nanxiu finished speaking, she ignored Qin Tianlai and Yan Qingcheng's dumbfounded expressions, turned around and left, getting into an older Rolls-Royce Phantom that had been parked by the lake not far away.

"We broke up many years ago," Liu Chang'an corrected Su Nanxiu's statement.

Yan Qingcheng stared at Liu Chang'an in disbelief, then glanced at Shangguan Dandan, who was standing there silently for some reason.

"You haven't swallowed the sweet potato slices in your mouth yet?" Liu Chang'an also looked down at Shangguan Dandan.

Shangguan Dandan nodded. Food should be fully savored before swallowing. If it's just about swallowing for the sake of swallowing, what's so difficult about that? The real challenge for Shangguan Dandan was to savor the taste while discreetly stuffing her mouth full of food without letting anyone notice.

"Let's go, I want to sing." Liu Chang'an saw that Shangguan Dandan couldn't open her mouth to speak, so he was going to do something that would allow her to sing freely.

Shangguan Dandan jogged a few steps to catch up with Liu Chang'an, then grabbed his finger and skipped lightly and lively, lifting her skirt.
