Chapter 536: Let’s All Have Tea Together!

—

Piao Miao Holy Land, First Peak.

Qian Wanyi, who had been on protagonist Lin Qing’s mind, was currently in Piao Miao Holy Land, in her daughter Anning’s room.

The two of them were lying on the bed as usual, resting together.

However, this time, they were lying back-to-back.

After a long silence, it was Qian Wanyi who finally broke it—

“Anning, I’m sorry…”

Although she had initially been “reluctant,” later…

Just thinking about Wang Haoran still left her heart racing with desire.

Even though she had resolved to “enjoy” herself.

Seeing Qian Anning again had caused her guilt to surge uncontrollably.

The apologetic Qian Wanyi no longer carried her usual authoritative demeanor.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Although Qian Anning had mentally prepared herself, actually facing the situation left her feeling conflicted.

So, like Qian Wanyi, she awkwardly responded:

“It’s okay…”

After that brief sentence, silence returned.

—

At this moment.

On the elder’s side, thoughts of Wang Haoran and Qian Anning mixed with her own turmoil.

Her mind a mess, Qian Wanyi decided—

To play the sympathy card!

At the same time.

On the younger’s side, thoughts of Qian Wanyi’s “hardship,” her shy joy after being kissed…

So, the “thoughtful little cotton jacket” made her decision—

“Mom…”

“Anning!”

Both of them spoke at the same time.

“Anning, you… you go first…” Qian Wanyi, now the “weaker” party, said.

“Mm…” Qian Anning decided to get straight to the point:

“Did you… enjoy it?”

“……”

“…Yes.”

“You did, huh…”

If she enjoyed it, there was nothing else to say.

Qian Anning made her decision—

“I understand!”

—

A Few Days Later.

In his room on the Second Peak.

After giving Xiang Shaoling and Dugu Qingyu a proper “education” and sending them back to their respective Holy Lands.

Wang Haoran was alone, preparing to “interrogate” the little snake in his arms.

He wanted to ask her about the so-called “King of the Inner Realm.”

But suddenly, someone came to see him—

“Haoran!”

It was Qian Wanyi.

After Tang Xiaochuan’s death and Lin Qing’s humiliation.

The Tang family, having lost Qing Yun Holy Land’s support, quickly crumbled under the Qian family’s counterattack.

As a result, Qian Wanyi no longer needed to personally oversee affairs.

“I’ve been busy with family matters, but now I finally have time to rest…”

“And spend time with Anning…”

So, she had been staying in Piao Miao Holy Land—

“Haoran, is Anning here with you?”

The room wasn’t large, and it was easy to see that Anning wasn’t there.

But after entering, Qian Wanyi still walked over to Wang Haoran and sat beside him before asking.

“She’s not here.”

“Not here, huh…”

Hearing his answer, Qian Wanyi didn’t leave. Instead, she moved closer to Wang Haoran.

She glanced at the little fox in his lap and the snake coiled around his arm.

“Foxes and snakes… you really like keeping small animals, huh?”

“Let me pet them too!”

As she spoke, Qian Wanyi leaned against Wang Haoran and reached out to pet the little fox’s head—

“……” Get lost!

Her hand was immediately swatted away by the little fox’s tail.

“…Haoran, your fox has quite the temper and strength!” Qian Wanyi exclaimed, rubbing her slightly sore hand.

Wang Haoran chuckled, stroking the fox’s head, “Haha, maybe she’s just in a bad mood lately!”

Because of her anger at the little fox’s “betrayal,” Rain Master Tan had been picking on Tushan Yingyu every chance she got.

She would swat the fox away and take her spot.

But the little fox, stubborn as ever, refused to go anywhere else and insisted on competing with the snake for Wang Haoran’s lap.

Of course, she couldn’t win.

So now, the little fox spent her days sulking and seeking comfort from Wang Haoran.

—

At this moment.

Just as Qian Wanyi was about to try petting the little fox again.

Wang Haoran stopped her:

“Wanyi.”

“Anning isn’t here. Why don’t you stay and ‘have some tea’ while you wait?”

“Tea?”

“…What kind of tea…”

Meeting Wang Haoran’s gaze, Qian Wanyi’s cheeks immediately turned red.

“What do you think?”

Wang Haoran leaned closer, smiling—

“Didn’t you come here yourself? Why don’t you ‘brew’ the tea this time?”

“……”

“Fine… I’ll do it!”

Realizing Wang Haoran had seen through her intentions, the embarrassed Qian Wanyi stopped pretending—

“You’re such a scoundrel! You never come to see me, so I had to come to you!”

Then.

She pulled Wang Haoran outside to the courtyard.

Taking out a tea set and a small stove she had prepared, they began boiling water and brewing tea together…

The sound of boiling water was loud enough to attract Qian Anning, who had been looking for Wang Haoran.

She joined them in the courtyard.

And the three of them sipped tea while enjoying the scenery.

Wang Haoran remarked, “The view from the Second Peak is really beautiful!”

“It is!” Qian Wanyi agreed, holding her teacup.

“If it’s so nice, why don’t we sit here a little longer?”

“There’s still some time before the meeting starts!”

Qian Anning, gracefully brewing tea with her delicate hands, suggested with a smile.

The other two immediately agreed—

“Let’s stay a while longer!”
