My Wife Is The Final Boss

Chapter 545 - 0325 The girl likes people who are warm-faced but cold-hearted (two-in-one)

On Cuiyu Street, Xu Chang’an had a storage pouch hanging from his waist and wore a straw hat, heading towards the rouge shop the girls from Piluo Residence had pointed out.

There were hardly any men around; everywhere were women walking with umbrellas in pairs.

Xu Chang’an slightly adjusted his straw hat, letting the curtain hide his face completely.

Thinking about how the girls from Piluo Residence had been staring at him earlier, Xu Chang’an sighed.

"I mustn’t steal the spotlight from Miss Yun."

The girls at Piluo Residence should care about Yun Qian, not him.

He said, holding an umbrella as he walked into the deep alley.

As for the hat...

Setting aside Xu Chang’an’s temperament, at least when facing the girls from Piluo Residence, he was certainly not a petty person, and would definitely not feel that they had overstepped the line just because they had glanced at him a couple of times.

Suddenly wanting a straw hat was purely to cover his face, because too many people here knew him, and he didn’t want rumors spreading among strangers at the rouge shop.

——

Upstairs on the street.

Zhu Pingniang and Miss Lu sat facing each other in a pavilion, with some scattered snacks and a pot of floral tea in front of them.

Miss Lu couldn’t help but take a deep breath, thinking that the scent of osmanthus mixed with Ms. Zhu’s presence really put her in a good mood.

"Ms. Zhu, I know you’re looking forward to dinner, but you should have something to pad your stomach," Miss Lu smiled. "After we’ve had tea, we’ll pick out evening attire that will surely amaze Young Master Xu tonight."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Pingniang rolled her eyes at Miss Lu and retorted, "I’ve mentioned, I’m going tonight to charm Miss Yun."

Miss Lu: "..."

She was silent for a moment, then lightly stuffed a piece of dim sum into Zhu Pingniang’s mouth, after pulling her finger away she said, "Sis, you might as well focus your efforts on the young master, there’s a bigger chance there."

She felt very helpless.

Zhu Pingniang was simply trying to prove her allure after failing to impress Xu Chang’an...

But there was no need to target Miss Yun, right?

"Sis, you know Miss Yun’s personality too, I think..."

"I don’t want your opinion."

Zhu Pingniang swallowed the dim sum and said through gritted teeth, "Ah Bai said that in Chang’an’s eyes, I don’t come across as a woman. Okay, he didn’t react to my Dusk Rain Melody, so from his perspective, I’m not a woman... I’ve accepted that."

Zhu Pingniang took a deep breath.

"But I don’t accept it, it should blame Xu Chang’an, that kid, for having no heart, not me for lacking charm... Hmph, he’s abnormal, surely his wife should have a normal aesthetic?"

Zhu Pingniang didn’t have any grand ambitions; if she could get Yun Qian to say she looks good tonight, that would accomplish her goal.

"Moreover, don’t forget." Zhu Pingniang looked at Miss Lu and said, "Sis, I like women, so naturally I focus on enhancing my appeal towards ladies... If men don’t like me, then they don’t like me, it’s not my concern."

Yun Qian is a lady, as long as Yun Qian thinks she looks good, that’s what matters; after all, Li Zhibai is also a woman.

"..."

Miss Lu looked at Zhu Pingniang for a while.

Clearly she liked Ms. Zhu, yet she brought up her crush in front of Lu, and talked about dressing up to charm a young man’s wife in the evening.

Really made her not know what to say.

Jealous?

She knew enough about Yun Qian not to actually feel any jealousy.

Left feeling speechless.

"Ms. Zhu, you really know how to cause a commotion, it seems... even if a man could really take you in, you’d never settle down," Miss Lu said, handing over another piece of dim sum.

Zhu Pingniang leaned forward, bit into the dim sum, swallowed it whole and gave Miss Lu a sideways glance.

"What nonsense are you on about? Have a man take me in? There used to be some in the Demon Sect thinking that, guess what happened to him?"

"I won’t guess, such restless girls like you... whoever marries you might find happiness at an end," Miss Lu wiped away some crumbs from Zhu Pingniang’s lips. "Only us girls don’t mind you being troublesome."

"What are you talking about," Zhu Pingniang discontentedly glared at her, then seriously said, "Actually, it’s not hard for a man to calm me down..."

"Oh?" Miss Lu looked over curiously.

"As long as the man has enough skill to take Ah Bai in."

Zhu Pingniang giggled, "Even if he doesn’t like me, I’d be willing to accompany Ah Bai as his wife or concubine... Moreover, I promise to be stable, definitely not causing any trouble for him. Hmm, as long as I can sleep with Ah Bai, that’s fine."

Upon hearing this, Miss Lu couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her eye.

What does she mean?

As long as someone can win over Miss Ah Bai from the Immortal Sect, Zhu Pingniang would just offer herself?

Buy one get one free?

"Don’t look at me like that," Zhu Pingniang tilted her head, her silver earrings gently swaying.

She wasn’t joking.

"Ah Bai and I are different, her path in cultivation was sheer happenstance... others don’t know this, but I do. Nowadays, she wants to be an ordinary girl, so-called Alchemy Dao, to her, is just dull stuff."

Zhu Pingniang calmly said, "I can’t give her those things, but if there’s really a man who can win her heart, then if it means serving him with Ah Bai, what’s the harm."

"Ms. Zhu, you don’t need to put yourself through that," Miss Lu looked at Zhu Pingniang’s serious expression with some fright.

"Putting myself through it?"

Zhu Pingniang clicked her tongue, smiling, "Not at all, you don’t know Ah Bai’s personality, if there’s truly a man she likes, he surely is my type too, it’s totally not an inconvenience, wouldn’t it rather be... double happiness."
