316: My fiancé

The next day, the old tree in the courtyard seemed to have withered overnight, with a few autumn leaves hanging on the branches, adding a touch of autumn to the world.

“Bang bang bang~ Sister, didn’t you always say you wanted a Colorful Flower Bird cub? I brought one for you, hurry and open the door.”

Knocking and a man’s loud shouts came from outside the courtyard. Xu Sanyan opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Wang Zixuan lying beside him, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Wang Zixuan rubbed her disheveled hair, saying with a hint of helplessness, “It’s my fourth uncle’s cousin, Wang Wenjie. He bothers me all day, and it’s hard to say anything due to my fourth uncle’s Face.”

He had come yesterday, and he didn’t expect him to come again today.

In the courtyard, Wang Wenjie stood in front of the door holding a birdcage. Inside the cage lay a colorful little bird, its lively eyes darting around, extremely adorable.

Creak—

The sound of the door opening. Wang Wenjie instinctively looked in the direction of the sound. In another corner of the long corridor, he saw a strange young man standing outside the door, looking at him with an annoying smile still on his lips.

Wang Wenjie frowned, wondering who this person was and why he appeared in Third Madam’s courtyard.

Then, a figure he was incredibly familiar with appeared behind the man.

He saw his cousin, whom he had pursued for many years, emerge from the room disheveled. Her messy hair and the hickey on her collarbone all proved what had happened last night.

In an instant, a ‘boom’ seemed to echo in his mind. Wang Wenjie felt as if the sky had fallen, standing dumbfounded in place, his eyes staring intently at his cousin, like a statue.

He felt like he had been cheated on…

Although he and his cousin hadn’t made any substantial progress, in his heart, he had long considered Wang Zixuan his private property.

He had paid such a high price, expended so much energy, and countless treasures over the years, all to please his cousin.

But now…

Someone got there first?!

Wang Wenjie’s eyes instantly turned fierce. His fingers, slightly pale from intense agitation, clenched tightly together. The handle of the birdcage he was holding was crushed.

The birdcage fell to the ground with a soft ‘crack’. Wood splinters flew, and the bird in the cage seized the opportunity, darting out and flying into the sky.

No one cared about it anymore. Six pairs of eyes stared intently at each other, and the air seemed to freeze in that instant.

Xu Sanyan’s smile grew even more rampant. He had just learned from Wang Zixuan that this person had pursued her for many years, but because her mother disagreed, there had been no results.

So, this was a simp?

Xu Sanyan’s eyes held a hint of mockery. Simps never have a good ending. Blindly giving will only make the other person think you are worthless and will not move them.

To sleep with a woman, you need to use the right methods.

Like him, under the demonic seed, no matter how chaste a woman, she would have to obediently bend over for him.

If one wasn’t enough, then two, three…

If he wanted to, ten or eight wouldn’t be impossible.

At worst, he could use some small tricks, like that soul-urging incense. Sometimes, pursuing a woman doesn’t necessarily have to be straightforward.

If you can’t get her, drug her. If drugging doesn’t work, force her. If forcing doesn’t work, find someone to hold her down and then force her.

If you don’t even dare to drug her, how can you claim to love her?

Xu Sanyan found his angry expression very amusing.

“Who is he!” Wang Wenjie’s eyes were practically spitting fire as he pointed at Xu Sanyan with a distorted Face and demanded.

“He is… my fiancé.”

Wang Zixuan tidied her clothes and openly stood beside Xu Sanyan to introduce him.

Wang Wenjie’s voice suddenly became sharp and high-pitched, filled with intense disbelief, “Fiancé?!”

“When did you get a fiancé? Why don’t I know about it?!”

Wang Zixuan was already annoyed with him, and her voice couldn't help but be a little cold, “When I get a fiancé, I don’t think I need to inform you, do I?”

Wang Wenjie was stunned by her words, then lowered his gaze, concealing the fierce light in his eyes, and silently bowed his head, saying nothing more.

He quickly adjusted his emotions. He knew that anger wouldn’t solve the problem, and besides, this was Third Madam’s courtyard, so he didn’t dare to act here.

He could only give Xu Sanyan a deep look, as if wanting to engrave his Face firmly in his memory, then turned and walked away without a word.

Xu Sanyan laughed, “Hehe… Brother Wang, remember to come to our wedding banquet in a few days.”

Wang Wenjie replied coldly without looking back, “I will come!”

“Take care, no need to see you off…”

Third Madam stood in the distance watching this scene, unsure what to think.

She didn’t want her daughter to marry into the Wang family because she knew what kind of people the Wang family were, and she knew what kind of person Wang Wenjie was.

This person seemed to be responsive to Xuan’er’s every request and took great care of her, but in reality, he was narrow-minded, only caring about power and status. She didn’t want her daughter to become a bargaining chip for 利益交換.

As for their cousin relationship, that was secondary; a cousin marrying a cousin was not uncommon.

As for Lin Fan…

Third Madam shook her head; she didn’t like him either.

To be precise, she didn’t want her daughter to marry out; she wanted her daughter to stay by her side forever.

What a pity… a grown daughter cannot be kept at home.

Third Madam shook her head and sighed, then gracefully walked out. When Wang Zixuan saw her mother, her cheeks immediately flushed, and she bowed respectfully, “Mother.”

“Mm, you two, follow me.”

Third Madam looked at the marks on her daughter’s neck, feeling very upset, and simply turned her head away, out of sight, out of mind.

“Yes.”

The three of them walked towards the depths of the mansion. Third Madam suddenly spoke, “What is Young Master Lin carrying on his back? Why doesn’t he put it in his Storage Pouch?”

Xu Sanyan explained, “This is my Magic Treasure. The situation is special; it needs to be kept by my side and nourished daily.”

“I see…”

Third Madam didn’t inquire further. There were countless strange cultivation techniques and methods in the Immortal Realm, so this situation was not surprising.

Wang Zixuan looked at their direction and softly asked, “Mother, where are we going?”

“To see your father,” Third Madam said calmly.

“Ah?” Wang Zixuan immediately became flustered, reaching up to tidy her disheveled hair, “Mother, wait, I need to fix my appearance.”

“No need. You don’t have to go in. Just wait outside.”

“Oh~” Wang Zixuan let out a long breath, seemingly much more relaxed when she heard she didn’t have to see her father.

Passing through the long corridor, the three arrived at a garden where a group of young girls were playing and laughing. Seeing Third Madam approach, they immediately stopped smiling and respectfully bowed and greeted her,

“Third Madam.”

“Mm, is the master here?”

“Replying to Third Madam, the family head is in the study.”

Xu Sanyan only realized from the address that these girls were all members of the Wang family.

Wang Zixuan leaned into his ear and whispered, “They are all collateral relatives of the Wang family with very poor cultivation talent. They stay by Father’s side to take care of his daily needs.”

Xu Sanyan raised an eyebrow. No wonder their cultivation was so low; there wasn’t even a single Foundation Establishment cultivator among them.

On second thought, it was probably not just poor talent, but also because they had no backing. If they had Wang Zixuan’s status, even with poor talent, it would be impossible for them to do such servant work.
