Chapter 260: Chapter 147 Master: "I have always been here."_3
"Just joking～" Zhu Nanzhi snorted lightly: "I am testing my husband’s intentions towards Master."
Lu Jin’an glanced at Zhu Nanzhi, noting that her jealousy and insecurity often manifested in hostility toward other women.
But this kind of mentality often leads to a sense of distrust from the man’s perspective.
Lu Jin’an sighed softly in his heart and asked calmly: "If you test me like this, what if I say I really have intentions towards Palace Master Xiao?"
Zhu Nanzhi’s smile faded a little. She could hear that her husband was somewhat displeased, but her brain couldn’t help but wonder if it was his ’angry words’ or if he was disguising ’truth’ as ’angry words.’
"See, you don’t even know how to respond to me." Lu Jin’an turned his head to look at her: "So don’t ask such unrealistic questions in the future.
If I truly like someone, I will definitely find a suitable time to tell you, I won’t keep it from you."
Zhu Nanzhi lowered her head and murmured, "Mm."
Lu Jin’an caressed her cheek and smiled slightly: "I definitely won’t leave you, so don’t overthink."
"I definitely won’t leave my husband either." Zhu Nanzhi quickly said: "No matter what, I won’t leave."
"Good." Lu Jin’an handed her the umbrella: "I’m going to take a bath, I’ll send you off later."
"Mm." Zhu Nanzhi reached out to grip the umbrella handle and quietly watched Lu Jin’an’s figure.
’It would be nice if I had met my husband earlier than them.’
Zhu Nanzhi’s eyelids drooped slightly, thinking that if so, she could justifiably take charge of her husband.
But unfortunately, there is no ’if.’
However, since there is no ’if,’ it seems the only way to manage her husband is to make him like her a little more.
How should she do that?
Zhu Nanzhi tightened her grip on the umbrella handle and turned her head to blankly watch the tree branches swaying gently in the wind.
After quickly finishing his bath in Qingyi Palace and changing into the Saint Heir’s brocade attire, Lu Jin’an arrived at Huangyu Palace.
Pei Wanyu, sitting in front of the dressing table, turned to look at him, her eyes suddenly softening.
She rose and came to Lu Jin’an’s side, drawing him into her embrace, as Dong Han sensibly retreated.
Pei Wanyu asked softly: "Not in a good mood?"
"I wouldn’t say I’m in a bad mood."
Lu Jin’an closed his eyes; he didn’t feel there was anything wrong with Nanzhi’s probing, as her insecurities were indeed caused by him being an unfaithful man.
But to be honest, it’s not only Nanzhi, but even Master, and Qingyue as well.
He naturally didn’t feel regret, just occasionally a restless sense of guilt.
"Tell me, I’ll listen." Pei Wanyu led him to sit at the table, poured him a cup of clear tea, and focused on listening to Lu Jin’an’s confessions.
After he finished speaking, Pei Wanyu couldn’t help but pinch his cheek, smiling: "I thought you had no worries."
"I’m just human." Lu Jin’an chuckled: "I didn’t cultivate the Heartless Path."
"Feeling better?" Pei Wanyu withdrew her hand, propping her chin: "Problems aside, you know how to solve them, don’t you?"
Lu Jin’an responded with a "Mm": "What belongs to me, I won’t let go, a disciple is not a scoundrel."
"Go with your plan, Master supports you." Pei Wanyu said as she got up, went to the dressing table, pulled out a drawer, and took out a Yunfeng Plum Blossom Hairpin.
"This is from Master’s collection, never used, give it to Nanzhi later." Pei Wanyu said softly: "This is from you to her, understand?"
Lu Jin’an said: "Disciple has prepared a gift..."
"Better than Master’s?" Pei Wanyu placed the hairpin in his hand: "Women’s accessories, who understands them better than women, just listen to Master."
Lu Jin’an grasped the hairpin: "I will listen to Master."
"Good boy～" Pei Wanyu stroked Lu Jin’an’s head: "Come to Master more often if you have concerns, Master..."
Her voice paused, then tenderly continued: "I am always here."
