My Wife Is The Final Boss

Chapter 677 - 0389 With comparison, it’s not so hard to accept_2

"What are you talking about? I can’t understand." Zhu Pingniang wore an innocent smile.

Miss Lu pouted, "Without your orders, would they dare to block the young master outside?"

No need to think, it’s clear that Zhu Pingniang is behind this.

"It might have been because of me initially, but for how many girls went to watch on their own later, I really don’t know." Zhu Pingniang shrugged.

"You’re so talented." Miss Lu sighed, "So, once again, to bully the young master? My dear sister, can’t you be more generous? After all, Miss Yun is also here, can’t you leave a good impression on her?"

"I’ll go bring the young master inside." Miss Lu stood up.

"Silly." Zhu Pingniang gave her a side glance, "Who’s the star tonight?"

"You?" Miss Lu instinctively replied.

"Am I going to dance?"

"Oh, it’s Ah Qing." Miss Lu then understood Zhu Pingniang’s intention; this was all to hype up Ah Qing.

Truly helpless.

"You’re just good at using some little tricks that can’t be shown off." Zhu Pingniang said.

"What do you care?"

"Got it, I’ll go call Ah Qing and let her bring the young master inside." Miss Lu replied.

"Hmm." Zhu Pingniang acknowledged.

——

Ah Qing, now dressed in a dancing skirt, stood before the mirror, observing her own reflection which could be described as gorgeous... slightly lifting her skirt.

Beneath the short skirt was a lining she prepared for herself to prevent any wardrobe malfunction.

"Tsk." The girl in yellow nearby, not seeing what she anticipated, pouted.

"Ms. Qing, who are you guarding against?"

"Guarding against you." Ah Qing replied.

At this moment, a maid knocked on the door, the young girl walked over, received instructions along with a gemstone brooch, and then came back.

"Ms. Qing, Pingniang wants you to bring the young master inside."

"Me?" Ah Qing was taken aback. She certainly knew Xu Chang’an was blocked outside at the moment, but why her?

She was confused for a moment, unable to understand Zhu Pingniang’s intentions.

"Pingniang treats you so well." The girl in yellow understood something, gently pushing Ah Qing before pinning the brooch representing Zhu Pingniang onto Ah Qing.

"Ms. Qing, hurry up."

"?"

Ah Qing looked at her whole light green ensemble.

Perhaps because she mentioned preparing a sword dance, they did not prepare any cumbersome long skirts for her; thus, from outfit to skirt, everything was kept simple with not much fabric.

However, the fabric did not make the outfit look plain. The craftsmanship of the Piluo Residence girls, along with exquisite embroidery, made the outfit quite attractive, paired with Ah Qing’s light-colored pupils, there was an indescribable allure.

"I... I’m just going out like this?"

Hiss.

"Don’t remove it, the young master will be annoyed if blocked again."

"Wait..."

Ah Qing wanted to say something more but, realizing that she had already been pushed out, she simply moved forward.

In front, the crowd gathered, despite the rain falling from the sky, umbrellas of the ladies around kept the rain water at bay.

Ah Qing stood there, looking at the girls in the cabin waving at her with a helpless expression.

She initially didn’t want to stand out too much, but now being pushed to the forefront... what could she do?

She had no choice.

So she walked towards Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian.

The gemstone brooch given by Zhu Pingniang naturally emitted a faint glow, gently nudging the girls in front of her, creating a path through the crowd.

Ah Qing’s appearance at that moment caused the surrounding girls to quietly fall silent, making it evident that the bustling, lively scene had suddenly chilled due to her presence.

The gemstone from Zhu Pingniang was one thing, but more importantly, her pair of slightly eerie eyes at night.

Half-Demon.

Suddenly, many girls couldn’t help but take a few steps back.

Even though the timid ones understood Zhu Pingniang’s intention, they still couldn’t help being afraid.

Of course, those with lascivious tendencies wouldn’t be afraid, like one of the previous courtesans, who squeezed to look at Yun Qian and sighed seeing no face, instead setting her eyes upon Ah Qing’s refreshing attire, making her eyes sparkle.

She urgently patted the shoulder of the young girl beside her.

"Who is that?"

The young girl was speechless, "Sister, don’t you recognize anyone usually? That’s Ms. Qing, isn’t it?"

"Ah Qing?" The woman paused.

Was she always this attractive?

Half-Demon.

Being this stunning, whether or not she’s half demon seemed not to matter.

"Tsk, why is she wearing a lining?"

——

"Young master, Miss Yun, this way please." Ah Qing approached Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian, bowing slightly.

Yun Qian looked at the woman in front of her, thinking the outfit was quite nice. She had worn even cooler ones before, and her husband seemed to like them.

Indeed, compared to the earlier embarrassment of being caught in the rain, now Ah Qing looked rather impressive.

"Thank you." Xu Chang’an, seeing someone had finally come, couldn’t help but sigh in relief, holding Yun Qian’s hand as they walked to the banquet hall with Ah Qing.

With Ah Qing leading Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian away, the surrounding girls remained silent for a while before bursting into chatter.

"Her eyes..."

"We already knew, what’s the surprise?"

"Come to think of it, was she always that attractive?"

"You just like scantily clad ones."

"True."

"By the way, did they go to Pingniang... she’s hogging again."

"No, blocking the young master here was no good on our part." A girl timidly added.

"Off you go."

Suddenly, someone brought up an observant notion.

"Did you notice that Miss Yun’s ribbon is identical to Ah Qing’s... are they close?"

"..."

With that mentioned, all the girls quieted down.

"It’s probably Pingniang’s arrangement." Someone said helplessly, "We more or less understand her intentions, so let’s not dig further."

"Calling sister old, you’re courting death."

"..."

Watching Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian enter the cabin, the girls dispersed noisily, each going back to their place. While continuing the topic about Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian, there was also some dissatisfaction towards Zhu Pingniang.

Yet the topic about Ah Qing being a half-demon was limited to those few initial comments.

Clearly, the girls here were starting to mentally prepare for coexisting with a half-demon.

That was also Zhu Pingniang’s aim.

Putting Ah Qing in the spotlight... The girls would gradually adapt, and today was the first step.

Xu Chang’an, who knew the theme of today’s banquet, also guessed Zhu Pingniang’s intentions, having no strong opinions about himself and Miss Yun being used as mascots... Well, maybe a little.

That was Yun Qian might be tired from standing outside for a while.

He turned to look at Miss Yun, only to find Yun Qian now looking curiously at Ah Qing leading the way, so Xu Chang’an also followed her gaze and noticed Miss Yun was watching the subtle sway with each step... of her short skirt.

Xu Chang’an: "..."

Hmm.

He could guess a bit; Yun Qian was definitely thinking, she had an almost identical outfit.

Indeed, Xu Chang’an knew Yun Qian very well.

But leading the way, Ah Qing was unaware, feeling only two pairs of eyes behind her...

Ah Qing: "...?"

Couldn’t say she blushed, that’s not her nature, but... she hadn’t experienced anything like this before, so she just lowered her head and quickened her pace, escorting Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian into the cabin and temporarily bidding Xu Chang’an goodbye before rushing away.

When Ah Qing returned to Dianzhuang’s room, she saw the girl in yellow smiling strangely.

Since it was Ah Qing’s main event, she thoughtfully didn’t accompany her.

What happened?

Why did sister seem like she was escaping back?

"Ms. Qing, what’s wrong?"

"..." Ah Qing thought about the gaze she almost felt burning on her.

The young master is considerate, so it must be Yun Qian’s.

"The young master and Miss Yun’s relationship must be really good... right?"

"Yes, everyone knows." The yellow girl replied.

"So Miss Yun... doesn’t she fancy girls?" Ah Qing pondered, considering whether or not to really lengthen her skirt.

"?"

——

Arriving at the banquet hall, Miss Yun wasn’t used to such lively scenes, so she simply walked beside Xu Chang’an.

Inside, square tables filled the room, and girls sat before them, one by one, glancing at them and waving or smiling.

Zhu Pingniang approached and said to Xu Chang’an, "Go cook, I’ll take care of Ms. Yun."
