"It sounds terrifying," Di Haoao comforted, "Maybe she’s doing it for your own good."
"Yeah, at first, it was for my own good, and I followed her instructions. But she was never satisfied and kept raising the bar, always hurting me with her words."
"Before we got married, she wasn’t like this. Back then, even though I had nothing, she still chose to be with me."
"Maybe deep down, she’s always thought of me as a failure. No matter what I do, I can’t change that. She still looks down on me."
"Tell me, what should I do? Wuwu..."
Su Luo now showed a slight drunkenness, resembling someone who had had too much to drink and was looking to vent.
"Is... is it really that bad?"
Di Haoao felt that this person’s situation was somewhat similar to his own. No, no, Long Xinxin would never be like that.
"It’s worse than you can imagine. Now, I have no standing at home. If she tells me to go east, do I dare go west? I feel like I’ve become her slave."
"Enough talking, let’s drink."
"I’ll join you." Di Haoao deeply resonated with this. Long Xinxin had indeed become much more adamant about the marriage alliance, her attitude far more rigid than before.
It made Di Haoao wonder if she had become a different person.
Would Long Xinxin eventually turn into someone like this man’s wife?
Boom!
The tavern door was kicked open, and Yun stormed in with a fierce expression.
"How dare you come here to drink! Didn’t I tell you to go straight home after finishing your business?"
Su Luo was dumbfounded. What was going on?
"What are you staring at? Are you so drunk you don’t even recognize your own wife?"
Yun grabbed Su Luo’s ear roughly, though it looked fierce, she wasn’t actually using much force.
"Wife? You?" Su Luo suddenly wondered if he really was too drunk.
"What’s with that attitude? Think about how useless you are. I must have been blind to have married you back then."
Wife? Her?
Li Siyi, who was drinking, spat out her drink in shock.
She was completely baffled. She had only come to see how Su Luo was pretending to be a married man.
How did he end up with a wife!
What was Little Yu doing?
Wait, calm down. It must be an act. It had to be.
Li Siyi tried to reassure herself.
Su Luo also snapped back to reality and immediately started acting: "I can’t take it anymore! Why are you yelling at me? Can’t you see I’m drinking with this brother here?"
"How dare you talk back to me!" Yun’s voice was sharp, leaving no room for argument.
"Today, I’ve had enough. Look at what you’ve become. Before we got married, we were so loving, but now you’ve changed completely."
"It’s because you’re so useless. I must have been blind to have married you so hastily back then."
"Fine, if that’s how you feel, then let’s just end it."
"End it then. I’ll be happier without you."
Su Luo and Yun were like a madman and a shrew, hurling insults at each other without a care for their image.
Though they didn’t mention Di Haoao directly, it somehow felt like the words were aimed at him.
Di Haoao couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like if he and Long Xinxin ended up like this...
The thought was terrifying.
As Su Luo and Yun continued their argument, they gradually made their way out of the tavern and into a small alley, where they ducked in together.
As soon as they were out of sight, Yun immediately bowed her head in apology: "Su Mozi, I’m sorry!"
"You seemed to enjoy hitting me earlier. What’s wrong? I actually liked your defiant attitude. But knowing it was wrong and still doing it makes it even worse."
"Su Mozi, you can punish me however you see fit." Yun, who had been so fierce just moments ago, now looked like a harmless lamb, ready to be slaughtered.
Her quick surrender left Su Luo both amused and exasperated, unsure whether to punish her or not.
In the end, Su Luo lightly tapped Yun’s head with a hand chop.
"Fine, the outcome wasn’t bad, but don’t let it happen again."
At least it felt more real than him sitting there alone, pouring out his grievances.
"Yes."
Just then, someone interrupted their conversation.
"Well, well, if it isn’t Su Mozi. Are you and your wife having a lover’s spat?" Li Siyi couldn’t hold back anymore. How did he suddenly end up with a wife?
And wasn’t this person supposed to be Su Luo’s subordinate? Had she been promoted? Or had they developed feelings over time?
Su Luo said, "You’ve found me out. How? My disguise was perfect."
"It was perfect, but sometimes you slip up. We’ve known each other for so long, you can’t fool me."
"What slip-up?"
"I can’t tell you. What if I can’t recognize you next time? Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Who is this?"
"Yun. We were just acting earlier."
Hearing that it was an act, Li Siyi visibly relaxed. That made sense.
But then she coldly said, "Hmph, what you do is none of my business, Su Mozi. Don’t forget, we’re on opposing sides now. Since we’ve met today, prepare to die."
With that, Li Siyi launched an attack.
Su Luo understood why Li Siyi was doing this—she was putting on a show for Yun.
But Su Luo felt it was unnecessary.
"Alright, no need to act. Yun is my most loyal subordinate. She knows everything, so it’s fine."
This left Li Siyi stunned. His most loyal subordinate? So he really trusted her that much?
"Are you sure? If she betrays you, you’re done for."
"Don’t worry." Su Luo knew that Yun understood what could and couldn’t be said. She would never harm anyone from the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
With that, Su Luo took Li Siyi to her temporary residence.
Little Yu came out to greet them: "You’re back?"
"Yes, everything went smoothly."
The four of them gathered in a room.
Su Luo, Little Yu, and Yun got along well, chatting and laughing.
Li Siyi occasionally joined in, but unlike Little Yu, she didn’t immediately trust Yun just because Su Luo said so. Li Siyi remained wary of Yun.
Seizing an opportunity, Li Siyi pulled Little Yu aside.
"Little Yu, is this how you’re going to be?"
"What do you mean?"
"Didn’t you see Yun? She’s trouble. Aren’t you going to keep an eye on her?"
Little Yu, oh Little Yu, don’t you have any sense of danger? Today, that Yun dared to pretend to be Su Luo’s wife. Who knows what she’ll do next?
"At first, I didn’t trust her either, but Su Luo said she’s trustworthy, so she must be. And the more I interact with her, the more familiar she feels, like I’ve met her before."
"Familiar? Familiar with whom?"
"I can’t remember."
"Don’t let her fool you. She’s someone who’s managed to earn Su Luo’s trust. She’s definitely not simple. You’re no match for her. You need to be careful."
Little Yu wondered if Li Siyi was overthinking things: "But Su Luo said it’s fine."
Li Siyi was getting desperate. Trust didn’t mean blind faith, right? "Please, Su Luo is human, not a god. What if he’s wrong?"
"That can’t be, right?"
"Sometimes I really want to see what would happen if you didn’t listen to Su Luo."
"Ah, can I not listen to him?"
"Of course you can. If you didn’t listen to him, you wouldn’t have stayed by his side all this time. There wouldn’t be any room for someone like Yun."
Li Siyi spoke weakly, unsure how to cure this kind of devotion.
Little Yu seemed lost in thought.
Li Siyi suddenly realized she might have said too much.
"Never mind, forget I said anything. Don’t overthink it."

Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?"

Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
