After a while.
In front of the Pill Pavilion Headquarters in the Great Qian Imperial City.
Chu Yunfei stepped onto the white jade steps with his hands behind his back and immediately saw Wen Jiao guarding the door.
Dressed in a snow-white gown, her delicate hands gently twisted their sleeves, her brows furrowed with obvious anxiety and longing.
Chu Yunfei felt a warmth in his heart, stepped forward to greet him, and said with a light smile:
" My Jiao'er, why are you standing outside the door so early in the morning? Are you perhaps waiting here specifically for your husband's return?"
Hearing the noise, Wen Jiao turned around abruptly. Upon seeing that handsome, smiling face, her beautiful eyes first lit up with joy, but then she quickly and sharply furrowed her brows.
She walked slowly forward, scrutinizing Chu Yunfei from head to toe, and chuckled softly with a half-smile:
"My husband is in high spirits again, not returning home all night. Could it be that he has gone to enjoy some romantic time with that Elder Lin again?"
His tone was sour and full of jealousy.
Chu Yunfei remained calm and composed, showing no sign of guilt, and smiled frankly:
" My Jiao'er is indeed clever; she saw through it at a glance. However... I was not satisfied last night."
He took a step forward, his fingertips naturally lifting Wen Jiao's smooth, jade-like chin, and teased:
"I wonder if my Jiao'er is willing to return to her room now and enjoy herself with her husband?"
Wen Jiao face flushed red instantly. She slapped his thieving hand away in annoyance and spat out:
"Come on, you're never serious! I... I'm still alive, don't even think about messing with me."
Chu Yunfei gently pinched her slightly flushed cheek and laughed heartily.
"Alright, then I'll make it up to Jiao'er in a few days."
"Who needs your compensation? I don't care..."
Wen Jiaojiao, but when her peripheral vision glanced over Chu Yunfei's shoulder and inadvertently swept towards the corner of the long street, she suddenly froze.
Breathing froze instantly.
At the end of the long, bluestone street, where the morning light was just beginning to brighten, a stunningly beautiful figure in a black dress was hurrying towards them.
As she ran, the veil slipped halfway down, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that was almost otherworldly and captivating.
Even though Wen Jiao was always very confident in her own appearance, she couldn't help but feel a sense of ashamed admiration when she saw the woman's face and figure.
So alluring.
Those eyes, shimmering with a purple light like flowing water, even with a frosty expression, still possessed a captivating charm that could topple empires.
Chu Yunfei followed Wen Jiao's gaze and glanced back, only to feel a sharp, stabbing pain in his head.
This vixen... she actually followed us like a leech?
Did his light kiss on her earlobe just now scare her away in the slightest?
Chu Yunfei gritted his teeth inwardly.
Do you really think I'm some kind of saint who wouldn't dare strip you naked and do something to you?
At this moment, Yao Yue, panting as she caught up to the bottom of the steps, immediately spotted the two people cuddling together, behaving intimately.
Yao Yue's purple eyes narrowed slightly, and for some reason, an extremely intense, nameless rage rose within her.
That damn stinky man!
He's eating what's in his bowl while eyeing what's in the pot. He spent the whole night causing trouble in that mansion last night, and now he's here being all lovey-dovey with the eldest daughter of the Pill Pavilion.
According to the information she had, the Great Qian Princess in the palace also seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with him.
At once, he attracted the attention of three stunningly beautiful women...
Human men, they're all no good.
Looking at the woman in the black dress before Wen Jiao, whose demeanor was far from ordinary and who was glaring angrily at Chu Yunfei, Wen Jiao felt a surge of resentment welling up inside her.
Judging from the woman's slightly disheveled clothes and her aggrieved and angry expression, she clearly resembled a wronged woman who had suffered all kinds of bullying and had come to demand an explanation.
Could it be...?
Chu Yunfei didn't go looking for Lin Wanyin last night at all. Instead, behind her back, he went out and provoked this stunningly beautiful woman again!
Wen Jiao gritted her teeth, and with her delicate hand hidden in her sleeve, she precisely and ruthlessly pinched the soft flesh on Chu Yunfei's side and twisted it forcefully.
Her face was as cold as ice, and she spoke in a low, forced smile:
"My lord... who is this beauty?"
Chu Yunfei feigned pain, grabbed Wen Jiao's small hand, and put on an extremely innocent and aggrieved expression.
" My Jiao'er, I swear to God, this is truly a huge misunderstanding!"
Chu Yunfei pointed at Yao Yue and declared righteously, "I don't recognize this woman at all!"
"On my way back this morning, some crazy woman who's lusting after my husband suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She kept trying to seduce me and followed me all the way here."
"I swore to die rather than submit, yet she still managed to harass me all the way to the gates of the Pill Pavilion. She has absolutely no shame."
These words, distorting the truth, were powerful and convincing, directly portraying Chu Yunfei as a chaste and virtuous victim.
Yao Yue, who had just stopped walking, was so angry upon hearing these utterly shameless remarks that her vision blurred and she nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Crazy woman?
lusting after his good looks?
Stalking and seducing?
Who is truly shameless?!
" Chu Yunfei!!"
Yao Yue flew into a rage, and the last vestiges of her princess-like composure vanished instantly.
She pointed at Chu Yunfei's nose, trembling with rage. "You... you heartless, shameless scoundrel, how dare you turn around and accuse me of seducing you?!"
"It was clearly your despicable act last night, forcibly sealing my pressure points and pinning me to the ground... taking full advantage of me."
Yao Yue turned to look at Wen Jiao, her face filled with grief and indignation as she loudly denounced him. "Miss Wen, don't be fooled by this scumbag!"
"Last night, he not only cheated on you with another woman, keeping you up all night, but just now in the alley, he even made advances towards me, intending to do something inappropriate."
In an instant, a deathly silence fell over the entrance to the Pill Pavilion.
Wen Jiao face turned cold, and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
"Husband... is everything she said true?"
Faced with this brutal interrogation, Chu Yunfei remained as steady as a rock, his expression unchanged and his heart unmoved.
He even sighed and said frankly:
" My Jiao'er, she says I had a secret rendezvous with someone last night, which I admit, but she says I had ulterior motives towards her and took advantage of her? That's an outrageous slander."
Chu Yunfei suddenly straightened his back, his eyes clear and innocent, and said with deep remorse:
"I, Chu Yunfei, am a gentleman, how could I be that kind of person?"
"It's clear she's lusting after my looks. She tried to seduce me in the alley, but failed. Seeing I was in a hurry to return to the Pill Pavilion to find you, she became enraged and followed me here to sow discord."
"Look, my Jiao'er, she's a woman of refined upbringing, yet she chased me all the way to my lodgings early this morning. If she didn't have ulterior motives, who would do something so outrageous?!"
"Puff..."
Yao Yue trembled violently, her vision blurred with anger, and a surge of rage choked her, nearly causing her to faint on the spot.
She clutched her chest tightly and screamed hysterically:
" Chu Yunfei! You shameless, despicable scoundrel!"
"I am a pure-blooded princess of the Qingqiu Royal Clan in the Western Continent!"
"If this princess wanted to find a man, the pure-blooded royal families of the entire Western Continent could stretch from Qingqiu to the far western sea. Would this princess ever look at a despicable and filthy human scum like you?!"
"Stop spouting nonsense and distorting the truth!"
These words were spoken.
Wen Jiao, who was originally filled with jealousy, suddenly froze, and a deep surprise flashed across her eyes.
Seeing that this enchantress had completely lost her composure and revealed her true colors in the street, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but smirk, and casually shrugged:
" My Jiao'er, look."
"She's even made up the crazy stories of the Princess of Qingqiu in the Western Continent. This woman... is clearly seriously mentally ill."
Yao Yue's eyes darkened, her delicate body trembled with rage, and she pointed at Chu Yunfei's calm face, nearly going berserk.
"You... you actually dare to say that this princess is mentally ill?!"
Chu Yunfei snorted lightly, not even bothering to look at her again, and turned around, calmly taking Wen Jiao's soft hand in his.
" My Jiao'er, let's ignore this madman; he's just wasting our ears. Come with me into the cabinet to discuss serious matters."
" Chu Yunfei, you're not going to leave like this!!"
Driven to desperation, Yao Yue lunged forward as if losing her mind, grabbing Chu Yunfei's left arm tightly and refusing to let go like a koala.
"You won't renege on your promise today, in front of Miss Wen! You must settle my matter clearly!!"
That amazing touch and rich, cool fragrance wafted over me once again.
Wen Jiao stood to one side, watching the stunningly beautiful enchantress clinging tightly to Chu Yunfei. A cold glint flashed deep in her beautiful eyes, but a dangerous smile curled at the corner of her lips.
She crossed her arms, looking at the stiff-faced young man with a half-smile, and slowly began to speak:
"My husband..."
"It seems this 'mentally ill' girl... is truly deeply in love with you. What do you plan to do with her?"
Chu Yunfei's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Yao Yue, who was clinging to him like an octopus, and the veins on his forehead throbbed wildly.
"Witch, let go." He spat out the four words through gritted teeth.
Yao Yue raised her stunningly beautiful face, her purple eyes filled with hatred, and gritted her teeth with unwavering resolve:
"I won't let go. If you're so capable, then do it to me right now, in front of your wife!!"
This shout plunged the entire area in front of the Pill Pavilion into a deathly silence.
Chu Yunfei took a deep breath, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
"OK."
"You asked for it."
Without saying a word, he suddenly reached out with his large hand like an iron clamp and forcefully hoisted the Yao Yue onto his shoulder.
Under Wen Jiao's slightly surprised gaze, Chu Yunfei strode into the Pill Pavilion gate expressionlessly.
" Jiao'er, please wait a moment."
"Today, I, your husband, will personally take action and properly cure this reckless vixen's brain ailment."
The Yao Yue, hanging upside down on Chu Yunfei's shoulder, suddenly froze. Looking into Chu Yunfei's fierce eyes, a terrifying and ominous premonition arose in her heart, and she struggled frantically, crying out:
"Wait... wait, Chu Yunfei, what are you doing? Put me down!!"
Chu Yunfei sneered and strode forward:
"Begging for mercy now? Too late!"
"If I don't completely subdue you, you vixen, today, I'll take your surname!!"
