In the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San was absent, and Zhu Zhuqing was clearly distracted.
She chatted sporadically with Xiao Wu to pass the time, planning to wait until evening before heading back.
But just as she was about to leave, Tang San suddenly appeared. Her lingering disappointment instantly turned to delight.
"Third Brother? You're back."
Zhu Zhuqing was just about to rise, but Xiao Wu beat her to it, bringing her abruptly to her senses.
She had been too impulsive.
Xiao Wu was Tang San's wife. What would it look like if she rushed to greet Tang San before Xiao Wu did? Fortunately, Xiao Wu had moved quickly enough to keep her from exposing herself. Otherwise, tonight would probably have turned into a battlefield of jealousy.
That was a stroke of luck!
"Xiao Wu, I'm back." After speaking, Tang San looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside her. "Oh, Zhu Zhuqing, you're here too!"
"Third Brother, I brought my daughter-in-law to visit Xiao Wu. It's getting late now, so we should head back."
The moment Zhu Zhuqing saw Tang San return, she made to leave. Xiao Wu was delighted as well. After all, nighttime was her happy time with Tang San, so it was good that Zhu Zhuqing was leaving now.
However, seeing Zhu Zhuqing about to leave, Tang San suddenly spoke.
"Since you're already here, why not stay for dinner? Cooking won't take long. You can't spend the whole day here without having a meal."
"Xiao Wu, don't you agree?"
Xiao Wu froze for a moment, then immediately realized.
Of course. She had actually forgotten.
She was a god now, but Zhu Zhuqing wasn't. They still needed to eat. Yet they had spent an entire day chatting with her without getting so much as a bite of food.
