Chapter 279: Chapter 277: Asserting Family Status

Qin Wan couldn’t believe what she was seeing and looked at Chu Yan, "You... you still like someone else?"

"There’s no one else! Aunt, don’t listen to his nonsense!"

Qin Zhao had also wandered into the kitchen by then, teasing, "Who’s this aunt? Chu Yan, have you been seeing another woman behind my back, letting the child see?"

Chu Yan looked at the toddler with his face smeared with food and gritted his teeth, "You better explain yourself clearly, where did this aunt come from? Why don’t I know about her!"

"The aunt is just the aunt, daddy said he likes that aunt the most."

Tengshe looked innocent and even pretended to be scared and hid behind Qin Wan.

"You...!"

Chu Yan wanted to pick him up and give him a beating, but Qin Wan was staring at him suspiciously, and Qin Zhao looked utterly gleeful.

If he really hit the little brat, he’d probably confirm their suspicions!

"Aunt, I really didn’t. Apart from Qin Zhao, I haven’t been involved with any other women. If there had to be someone, it would only be about work."

Qin Wan said distractedly, "That’s good to know, aunt believes you."

While she continued cooking, Chu Yan secretly tugged at Qin Zhao’s sleeve. Qin Zhao remained unmoved, and Chu Yan stared at her darkly, his eyes carrying a threatening message.

If Qin Zhao didn’t help clarify things, he was doomed once they got home!

"Zhaozhao."

She was about to leave, but Chu Yan grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back. He lowered his head close to her ear, his voice menacing.

"I haven’t had dealings with another woman, you ought to know that best, right? After all, we’ve been at home these past few days. Where would I find the time to see someone else?"

Thinking about their time at home in the past few days, Qin Zhao immediately darkened her face.

"Shut up!"

"Hmm? Then why don’t you explain things for me?"

His phoenix eyes cold and unfathomable, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly in a faint smile, though it did not reach his eyes.

While Qin Wan wasn’t paying attention, Chu Yan, initially whispering in Qin Zhao’s ear, suddenly nipped her earlobe, his eyes growing even more dangerous.

"Qin Zhao, I’m thinking of going back on what I agreed with you yesterday."

Yesterday’s agreement was merely about sleeping arrangements for the next few days—they would keep to their own separate sides.

Otherwise, Qin Zhao would move to a different room.

Qin Wan and the toddler were still in the kitchen, and Qin Zhao wasn’t used to Chu Yan being so affectionate up close.

Her ears felt burning hot, and she quickly pushed him away.

"Zhaozhao."

Qin Wan turned around to look at them and then noticed Qin Zhao’s cheeks were very red.

"What are you two doing? Why is Qin Zhao’s face so red?"

"The kitchen is too hot."

Qin Zhao said crossly, grabbed the dishes Qin Wan had finished making, and hurriedly left the kitchen.

Chu Yan chuckled softly and followed her out.

This was just a minor incident.

Seeing that their relationship had improved a lot since before, Qin Wan didn’t suspect Chu Yan.

After dinner, they went home.

Chu Yan had Qin Zhao let Tengshe out and then sent her back to her room.

"How about I make you a late-night snack?"

Qin Zhao turned around, "I want some too!"

"Let me make his first, I’ll make something else for you later."

His coldly handsome face sported a polite smile, but the smile inexplicably sent chills down one’s spine.

Qin Zhao thought about dinner time, how Chu Yan’s eyes always flicked over to the toddler, probably thinking about how to get back at him.

Suddenly, she lost interest in the late-night snack.

"Alright, make his first."

Hearing there was a snack, Tengshe was beyond happy.

"What are we eating?"

"Snake stew, roasted snake skewers, what do you think?"

The little baby instantly changed color.

"Don’t eat snake, they’re all my kin! Otherwise, the Snake Lord will show you!"

"Who said we’re eating your kin?"

Chu Yan, previously smiling, suddenly turned cold, grabbed the little baby, and pressed him onto the dining table.

"Ah! Let me go!"

The little baby struggled, bursting with strong Spiritual Power. He had recovered some of his cultivation, his cultivation higher than Chu Yan’s. Normally, it should have been easy to handle Chu Yan, but Chu Yan was prepared.

Chu Yan suddenly threw a packet of realgar powder, covering the little baby in it. Tengshe felt dizzy and had no choice but to revert to his original form.

Gaining a bit of clarity, he quickly slid off the dining table.

His crimson vertical pupils stared resentfully at Chu Yan.

"You want to eat me? Hmph!"

Tengshe sneered contemptuously, pushed himself up tall, and bared his huge, gaping mouth at Chu Yan.

"See? The Snake Lord isn’t someone you mortals can mess with. Be careful, or I might eat you. Hmm, you’re so bad, eating you wouldn’t matter, right?"

Tengshe charged towards Chu Yan, planning to devour this bad man!

Just as he reached his side, that dizzy sensation appeared again, and his big head thudded to the ground.

What’s going on?!

The man in front of him loomed over him.

That cold gaze made one’s scalp tingle and feel heavily oppressive. Tengshe saw him pull out a long surgical knife, feeling a rare unease in his heart.

"For a big snake like you, every part is a treasure. Your skin could make a beautiful purse for Qin Zhao, then extract your gall and sharp teeth for making wine — surely that would taste great.

As for the snake meat, there are plenty of recipes."

Chu Yan half-knelt beside him, gently tapping his cheek with the surgical knife.

His lips still bore a faint smile, but the words spoken were terrifying enough to make Tengshe cry.

There he was, a big snake, lying on the ground unable to move, and he didn’t know why.

"Wuwuwu, I don’t want this! Let me go!"

"My skills are very practiced; I’ll peel your skin off in no time."

Chu Yan held down his head, the cold surgical knife slid across his scales, producing a grating sound.

"Don’t!" The little baby snake weakly howled and then fainted.

He had a long dream where Chu Yan skinned him, extracted his gall and sharp teeth to make wine, and cooked his meat for a big feast, inviting lots of people.

Seeing Tengshe faint, Chu Yan coldly put away the surgical knife.

Even without Spiritual Power, dealing with a stupid snake was more than manageable, right?

Plus, it was a gluttonous stupid snake.

On the way home, Chu Yan gave him a handful of candies, which he gulped down without hesitation.

Those candies were not ordinary candies.

"Eh? Why did he faint?"

Qin Zhao came out to watch the show and found a big snake lying on the restaurant floor.

Seeing her come out, Chu Yan narrowed his Phoenix Eyes and walked towards her. His expressionless, handsome face seemed wrapped in frost. His deep eyes were unreadable.

"Did you enjoy the show today?"

He stopped in front of her, his cool fingertips pinching her chin. Lifting her chin slightly, Chu Yan’s lips curved into an ambiguous smile, but his eyes were cold.

Clearly, he was holding a grudge.

"I didn’t doubt you."

Qin Zhao avoided his gaze as she pulled his hand away.

The show was indeed amusing, but now wasn’t the time to say so.

"Really? Then I want to see just how much Zhaozhao trusts me." Chu Yan suddenly wrapped his arms around her slim waist, unhesitatingly dragged her into the bedroom, and shut the door behind them with a backward flick.
