Chapter 473: “Mother-in-Law” Meets “Son-in-Law”

After returning to Piao Miao Holy Land.

Seeing that Wang Haoran hadn’t mentioned what happened at the bottom of the cliff, Li Yuan also tactfully avoided bringing it up.

“Wang Haoran seems fine…”

“What exactly happened after I left…”

“And where did Senior Tushan go…”

However, at this moment.

Watching Wang Haoran being challenged by Qian Wanyi, Li Yuan couldn’t help but feel a little pleased—

“Wang Haoran, so you have days like this too!”

The “protagonist” who had caused him so much trouble was finally facing some difficulty!

“Senior Wanyi is a sharp and intelligent woman; she won’t be fooled by you like my naive Junior Sister!”

Although this scene was far from a true “setback,” it was satisfying for Li Yuan to see someone, for once, not fawning over Wang Haoran.

But the next second, Li Yuan’s smug expression fell apart.

“Mother!”

“Why are you saying such things as soon as you meet him!”

Qian Anning immediately pouted and “scolded” her mother.

“Besides, Haoran and I are in love. Why are you bringing up such nonsense!”

“And telling Haoran to leave me!”

“I won’t allow it!”

She was upset and refused to hug her mother anymore.

Instead, she stomped back to Wang Haoran’s side and hugged him:

“Haoran, don’t listen to my mother!”

“She’s just being silly, ignore her!”

—Qian Anning had clearly chosen her man over her mother.

Exactly! Even money couldn’t convince him to leave her daughter; how could mere words do the trick?

Wang Haoran silently agreed in his heart.

However, he outwardly began to “console” Qian Anning:

“Anning, you shouldn’t say that!”

“Auntie is just testing me.”

“She wants to see if my love for you is genuine!”

“I’m confident.” Locking eyes with his Junior Sister with deep affection:

“The harder the test, the more willing I am to face it!”

“Because it only proves how much I love you!”

“Haoran…” Moved, Qian Anning couldn’t help but wrap her arms around Wang Haoran’s neck and kiss him in front of everyone.

Afterward, she turned to Qian Wanyi:

“Mother, there’s no need to test him!”

“Haoran and I are truly in love!”

She completely believed Wang Haoran’s words.

However, Shangguan Yunlan wasn’t as convinced and issued a warning—

“Qian Wanyi, that’s enough.”

If she went too far, Shangguan Yunlan, as her “best friend,” wouldn’t hold back!

“……”

“……”

Seeing how Qian Anning and Shangguan Yunlan were both so protective of Wang Haoran, unwilling to let him suffer even a little.

Li Yuan, who had been smugly enjoying the show, now felt a pang of bitterness—my Junior Sister, my Master! I regret “giving” you away so much!

—Though, in reality, it had nothing to do with him at all.

As for Qian Wanyi, who had been fuming, she was now stunned—

“This… Anning is naive… it’s normal for her to be deceived…”

“But Yunlan… why is she also so protective of this boy?”

Shangguan Yunlan was just as sharp and shrewd as she was!

Moreover.

Qian Wanyi noticed that after the “disgraced” Li Yuan returned.

Shangguan Yunlan, as his master, only asked him a few casual questions before focusing all her attention on Wang Haoran!

The faint smile that occasionally appeared on her face.

If she didn’t know Wang Haoran was her daughter’s lover, she might have thought the two of them were involved!

“……This Wang Haoran is no ordinary person!”

“Not only did he completely win over Anning, but even Yunlan is defending him!”

“And what ‘true love’! If it were true love, he wouldn’t have multiple women!”

Although having multiple wives was common in the ancient martial world, Qian Wanyi couldn’t bear to see her daughter suffer such indignity.

However, she couldn’t continue pressing the issue; otherwise, her daughter would surely get upset with her.

So the “clever” Qian Wanyi decided to take a different approach.

“Alright, silly girl, I won’t make things difficult for him anymore.”

“Come here, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you. Let me hug you!”

“Hehe, okay!”

This time, with a wave of her hand, the naive Qian Anning immediately ran over to hug her mother.

Pouting and complaining, “Hmph, Mother, Haoran truly loves us.”

“Whoever spread the rumor that he’s a playboy is a shameless liar!”

—Who else could it be but a certain “lapdog” upset about losing his “goddess”!

Wang Haoran and Shangguan Yunlan immediately thought of someone, glancing at the awkward-looking Li Yuan.

As for Qian Wanyi, hearing her daughter spout such nonsense, she couldn’t help but pinch her cheeks and glare at Wang Haoran with a sarcastic tone:

“Not bad, you’re quite handsome, and you seem to be very popular with girls!”

“Haha, Auntie, you’re too kind!”

Wang Haoran smiled—I’m very popular with young girls, but since you’re an “old auntie,” you don’t like me!

The self-proclaimed “clever” Qian Wanyi naturally picked up on the implication.

However, what bothered her more was.

Seeing Wang Haoran’s smiling face, she suddenly thought of that wretched woman who had once thrown a sack over her head…

When she mocked her, she had smiled just as gently…

Qian Wanyi suddenly felt a phantom pain in a certain area—

“……Hmph, I’m a Grandmaster now.”

“Who would dare spank me!”
