Chapter 554: Chapter 554 Seeking Proof of Tartness (2)_1

Mo Yan nodded nonchalantly and said, "Your in-laws favor your wife the most. Her returning like this might lead them to have objections against you. However, as a wife, she dared to shout and even insult you, her husband—it’s only right for you to teach her a lesson! I suppose, as long as you explain yourself clearly, and your in-laws are reasonable, they should not blame you."

Young Master Fang was not a fool, and he instantly understood Mo Yan’s implication. With nods and bows, he repeatedly expressed agreement. Finally, under Mo Yan’s impatient gaze, he motioned his servants to take action and left with Mo Yongxi in tow.

Having beaten up someone she had long wanted to, Mo Yan felt as refreshed as if she had drunk Spirit Spring Water. With light steps, she was about to head home when several figures emerged from the thick underbrush ahead.

When she saw who was approaching, Mo Yan’s eyes twitched violently. Seeing the person’s seemingly amused expression, she felt her entire being go awry, "Young Master Yan, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you send someone to fetch me?"

Yan Junyu, idly fanning himself with the Jade Bone Fan, took great interest in the woman trying to offer a forced smile and teased with raised eyebrows, "If I hadn’t come myself, wouldn’t I have missed out on this fine play?"

Teased by him, Mo Yan unexpectedly lost her earlier discomfort and said lightly, "It’s hardly a fine play. But if it amuses you, Young Master, I’m honored."

Yan Junyu saw her revert to that impassive demeanor and shook his head, disinterested, "Girl, you always look so prim and proper, I didn’t expect you to be so fierce... ah, formidable, truly a ’heroine among women’."

Under Mo Yan’s glaring eyes, Yan Junyu wisely changed his wording, but anyone could hear the teasing tone in his use of ’heroine among women’.

Feigning misunderstanding, Mo Yan solemnly bowed to Yan Junyu and said, "Thank you for your praise, Young Master Yan. I will continue to strive and not let down your expectations!"

Yan Junyu was left speechless—what expectations did he have? He hadn’t said anything at all!

...

Delayed by Mo Yongxi and others, and after bantering with Yan Junyu for a while, Mo Yan arrived home to find the dishes prepared and the rice almost ready to serve. She had no choice but to entertain Yan Junyu, discussing with him the matters of the winery and rice cultivation.

Yan Junyu lay back lazily in his chair, occasionally interjecting, seemingly listening with genuine interest. However, Mo Yan, with her keen senses, could detect his distraction, his half-hidden glances landing on her body multiple times, casting a strange scrutiny.

Mo Yan did not perceive any malice, but being stared at like this always made her somewhat uncomfortable. She believed it was better to ask straightforwardly if there was an issue.

So, when Yan Junyu’s gaze drifted her way again, she met it head-on and asked outright, "Young Master Yan, if you have any issues with me, feel free to speak your mind. It’s uncomfortable for you to keep it in, and it makes me anxious too."

Caught in the act, Yan Junyu’s face unexpectedly flashed an unnaturally embarrassed expression. After a moment’s contemplation, he still couldn’t hold back. Dismissing Guan Yu, he voiced the long-concealed question in his heart, "You... you and Hanzhang, um, that is, Xiao Ruiyuan, what exactly are you..." What was their relationship?

Perhaps considering it inappropriate to ask a lady such a question, Yan Junyu paused, omitting the last four words.

Mo Yan did not expect Yan Junyu to ask her such a personal question. She was momentarily stunned but quickly regained her composure. Looking at Yan Junyu, who was earnestly waiting for an answer, she suppressed the odd feeling in her heart and responded unchangingly, "It’s the relationship you’re aware of."

The matter between her and Xiao Ruiyuan was known only to them and their Hidden Guards, who could not possibly betray Xiao Ruiyuan and tell Yan Junyu. Since Yan Junyu asked such a question, it must have been Xiao Ruiyuan who told him. Considering their close friendship, it was not impossible for Xiao Ruiyuan to have done so.
