Ye Fan stayed at Lu Xiaoman’s place for over an hour, and as the night deepened, he had to leave. Lu Xiaoman was extrely reluctant to let him go.
Lu Xiaoman, being understanding and wise, didn’t complain to Ye Fan. She just watched him leave with affectionate eyes. On the other hand, Mo Xiaoyan looked resentful, as if she had turned into another Lu Xiaoman, ready to bite Ye Fan.
"Stupid brother-in-law, who knows when you’ll be back again this ti!" Mo Xiaoyan said angrily.
"Xiaoyan, your brother-in-law has important things to do and will be busy. Let’s not bother him," Lu Xiaoman said.
"Sister, you say that, but your relationship with him is so good, yet he doesn’t co back to spend more ti with you. Where is he going? Isn’t he going to see Li Zhaojun? Aren’t you jealous?" Mo Xiaoyan said.
Lu Xiaoman slightly shook her head and said, "Ye Fan... and Chairman Li truly love each other. I used to mind a lot, but later I realized I can’t live without Ye Fan. Xiaoyan, your brother-in-law is actually very conflicted, don’t make it hard for him."
"What do you an, ’make it hard’? He’s just asking for trouble. Is it okay for a man to be unfaithful? Sister, what are you thinking? Aren’t you an independent woman? Did brother-in-law convincing you to cultivate and live for five hundred years make you surrender?" Mo Xiaoyan protested.
Lu Xiaoman glanced at her sister and said irritably, "Xiaoyan, be honest, what exactly is your relationship with your brother-in-law?"
"I..." Mo Xiaoyan, who had just been protesting vigorously, as if fighting for her sister’s rights, suddenly found herself speechless when it ca to her, "I have nothing with brother-in-law, that annoying brother-in-law, as if I care about him. Sister, I’m going upstairs to play gas, you rest first, um, you must be tired."
After saying this, Mo Xiaoyan escaped upstairs like a frightened cat, and Lu Xiaoman yelled, "You silly girl, you’re getting more and more outrageous, who’s tired?"
...
...
Ye Fan "went ho." His ho was the place he shared with Li Zhaojun.
He now had three hos: one in his old parents’ place in Forty-nine City, one in Lu Xiaoman’s in Hua Hai City, and another one, the temporary residence he shared with Li Zhaojun.
Ye Fan had been outside for a while, hanging out with Zhao Lina, Yang Xiaoting, Qin ngyao, and Lu Xiaoman, and even secretly seeing Mo Xiaoyan. He was once even thrown into an illusion for trials by Xi He. But when he was back with Li Zhaojun, seeing her cultivating with a pure and clean expression, his heart felt very serene.
Lu Xiaoman was like a sweet wife to him, who could bear children and keep the household going, while Li Zhaojun possessed the allure of a mature woman, capable of handling things independently and managing his family affairs - soone who could be the "first wife."
Ye Fan didn’t want to decide whom he loved more because he didn’t want to give up on anyone. Even he didn’t know why he had such persistence. Perhaps it was his Pure Yang physique at play. In fact, this was also the law of nature. A man expecting monogamy, if not duplicitous, might just be adhering to social norms. The law of yin and yang let Ye Fan know that even if he loved multiple won, he wouldn’t abandon them capriciously.
Not every woman could accept his view; even Li Zhaojun and Lu Xiaoman compromised out of love for him. As for Shen Yan, she disagreed and preferred to part ways with him, never eting again.
Ye Fan didn’t force Shen Yan but always had her in his thoughts, feeling a deep sense of guilt.
"Why aren’t you speaking, just staring at after coming back?" Li Zhaojun could feel the familiar Pure Yang Spiritual Energy guarding her side even while she was cultivating, giving her an imnse sense of peace and security.
When she opened her eyes and looked at Ye Fan, her gaze was full of tenderness.
"I just got back, wanted to see you, but was afraid to disturb your cultivation," Ye Fan said with a smile, walking up and holding Li Zhaojun in his arms, planting a kiss on her forehead. It was a kiss filled with deep affection, remaining respectful and courteous as "old couples."
Li Zhaojun said, "I can’t break through the seventh level no matter how hard I cultivate. I don’t know why, but during cultivation, I always think of you. Perhaps you are my destined nesis!"
"Should I apologize to you?" Ye Fan joked.
Li Zhaojun gave Ye Fan a sidelong glance, her tenderness mingled with a hint of mischief, unlike her usual cold deanor. Then she leaned back into Ye Fan’s embrace, where they stayed for a while, feeling the perfect harmony between Ye Fan’s yang energy and her yin.
Eventually, Li Zhaojun looked up at Ye Fan, slowly bending down before him as usual. Though they were not officially husband and wife, certain things did not need to be avoided, just like how Li Zhaojun occasionally gave Ye Fan so "sweetness."
When Li Zhaojun, in her softest manner, made Ye Fan feel warmth, his inner tenderness was evoked, and he smiled while caressing her head, "Zhaojun, sotis you spoil too much."
"Mhm." At this mont, Li Zhaojun couldn’t say a word.
Li Zhaojun had always been ticulous in what she did, allowing Ye Fan to enjoy unrivaled tenderness. After a while, Li Zhaojun started to beco weary, and Ye Fan didn’t pressure her too much.
"Where’s Shang?" Ye Fan asked.
"You...," Li Zhaojun glared at Ye Fan, "always wanting to have the cake and eat it too. Shang is cultivating in the next room. You know perfectly well, and you’re implying I’m not enough for you, wanting to call Shang over? I’ll do that."
Just as Li Zhaojun angrily stood up and was about to head to the door, Ye Fan hugged her tightly from behind.
"Zhaojun, I’m sorry, forgive , okay?" Ye Fan said as if coaxing a young girl.
Li Zhaojun, both amused and annoyed, said, "Who’s mad at you? I just feel... useless. You did say that after the wedding... you would be like that with . So I knew you were concerned that any encounter between us might hinder my cultivation. You never tell , are you afraid I wouldn’t understand?"
"No." Ye Fan, having been revealed by Li Zhaojun, no longer hid, "So things, we just let happen naturally. Like what we just did, even ordinary couples might not have such harmony, right?"
"Just as well," Li Zhaojun gently tapped Ye Fan’s forehead with her finger, "knowing you care for , if I kept acting cold and aloof and played hard to get, I wouldn’t be a good wife. Since it was unfinished earlier, let indulge you once more!"
