555: Fitting

“In that case, I’ll go Cultivate then, and wife, you should also…” Yu Guili said softly.

“Got it, go do your thing. As long as I’m here in our home, it will always be like this; it won’t change!” Xia Chuwei said, then watched Yu Guili enter his room.

Afterward, she gracefully stepped into her secret chamber.

However, the moment she entered that secret chamber, it was as if all the strength was drained from her body, and she leaned directly against the wall, breathing heavily.

Clearly, as childhood sweethearts, she understood Yu Guili extremely well.

She knew that Yu Guili possessed a peculiar Cultivation Technique that allowed him to perceive others' emotional fluctuations, making it incredibly difficult for her to successfully deceive him.

But fortunately, she finally managed to do it!

“Chen Xuan, you brat, your Sister-in-law was really put through a lot by you this time! From now on, your Sister-in-law absolutely cannot indulge your mischief like this anymore…”

As she muttered to herself, she gently patted her chest, and then looked at Chen Xuan’s masterpiece on her neck.

The next morning, Yu Guili had already risen early and rushed to the Commander’s Palace to handle the myriad of complex and trivial matters.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan, seeing that it was about time, once again set off on his way to visit Xia Chuwei.

Underworld Valley.

Chen Xuan walked into the courtyard with light steps and immediately saw Xia Chuwei, wearing a lace collar and lost in thought, and his eyes lit up.

Then, he quickly walked up to her and said with a grin, “Sister-in-law, your attire today is truly as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, making it impossible to look away. How did you come up with such an outfit? You’re truly a Genius!” As he spoke, he walked around Xia Chuwei in a circle, his eyes filled with admiration and appreciation.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuwei’s cheeks instantly flushed, as delicate and vibrant as Peach Blossoms blooming in spring. She gave Chen Xuan an exasperated glance and parted her red lips:

“You’re just sweet-tongued, good at coaxing your Sister-in-law into happiness. I wonder where you learned all these honeyed words. How could someone like me, living in this deep mansion, be as you describe…”

Although she spoke like this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled upward, her heart filled with the joy of being praised, and the gloom from her earlier quarrel with Yu Guili also dissipated considerably.

Chen Xuan stepped forward, feigning seriousness as he walked around Xia Chuwei in a circle, nodding as he looked: “Sister-in-law’s attire, and this entire demeanor, how could it be like someone trapped in this deep mansion? You are clearly a Fairy descended to the mortal realm, making it impossible for this little brother to look away! And as for whether my mouth is sweet, Sister-in-law, you haven’t tasted it, so of course, it’s different!”

Xia Chuwei became even more shy at his words, raising a hand to smooth the hair by her temples, her eyes darting away: “You… you little rascal, if you keep teasing your Sister-in-law like this, your Sister-in-law will really get angry.”

Although she said this, her slightly trembling fingertips betrayed her inner nervousness and joy. Her heartbeat also quickened, as if a little deer was fluttering wildly within her.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan blinked, walked to Xia Chuwei’s side, took her small hand, and said earnestly:

“Sister-in-law, these are all my true feelings, without a shred of falsehood. Your beauty is the kind that makes one feel joy and is hard to forget upon seeing it.”

As he spoke, he leaned closer, his eyes fixed on Xia Chuwei. His intense gaze made Xia Chuwei increasingly uncomfortable. She frantically avoided Chen Xuan’s eyes and said softly:

“You, you little rascal, if you keep being so disrespectful, your Sister-in-law will really get angry.” But the voice did not sound angry at all; instead, it carried a hint of coquetry and sweetness, and a tiny bit of invitation.

Even Xia Chuwei herself didn't notice it.

“Hehe, alright, alright. Now, in front of Sister-in-law, I can’t even speak the truth, so I won’t say it then!” Chen Xuan smiled.

“Hmph, you’re just glib-tongued. Come on, tell me, what do you want from me?” Xia Chuwei didn't fall for his act.

“Sister-in-law, please move to the secret chamber.” Chen Xuan said, pulling Xia Chuwei’s hand, and they headed towards her exclusive secret chamber.

It seemed as if this was his home.

However, as they walked, Xia Chuwei’s face became increasingly flushed; she seemed to recall what happened yesterday.

And, she had clearly decided today to sternly refuse Chen Xuan, but now that the words were on the tip of her tongue, she couldn't bring herself to say them…

“Tell, tell me, why did you come today?”

In the secret chamber, Xia Chuwei chose to keep her distance from Chen Xuan, then asked.

“Actually, it’s like this: in a few days, Big Brother will answer me to go to… So, I wanted to ask Sister-in-law to help me look for some clothes that suit me.”

“Oh, so that’s it. You should have said so earlier; there’s no need to come to the secret chamber for that!”

Xia Chuwei nodded slightly, secretly pondering what kind of clothes would complement Chen Xuan’s temperament.

A moment later, she lightly patted her storage ring and brought out several luxurious garments, including a moon-white brocade robe, a dark-colored close-fitting outfit, a lake-blue long gown, and a whole host of other clothes.

“Try this one.” Xia Chuwei said softly, handing the moon-white brocade robe to Chen Xuan, her eyes unconsciously avoiding him.

Chen Xuan took the clothes, the corners of his mouth curving into a handsome smile. He didn’t turn to the side but changed right in front of her.

When he put on the brocade robe, Xia Chuwei felt her eyes light up.
