Chapter 2687: A Shocking Question
It had been a long time since Zu An felt so frustrated over a problem ever since his breakthrough. He felt an unprecedented sense of helplessness. He thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a solution, so he decided to just take it one step at a time.
Since Yun Jianyue and Qiu Honglei suspected Yan Xuehen, Zu An thought he should warn the latter, or else she would be disadvantaged when dealing with them.
Yan Xuehen was appalled by his return, worrying that others would notice their relationship. However, when she learned the reason behind his return, she was shocked. “Huh? Is there something wrong with the demoness? Why is she doing that?”
She had doubted Yun Jianyue at the start, but she dropped her suspicion after Zu An promised her that nothing was amiss. From the looks of it now, the demoness had indeed come prepared.
“It’s all your fault. She must have started suspecting us after our trip to the Netherworld.” Yan Xuehen thought about the things he had done along the way, and her face turned so red that one could almost squeeze blood out of it.
She couldn’t even stand upright then. Given how sharp the demoness was, she was bound to have sensed that something was amiss.
“I suspect she intends to drag you down.” Zu An was aware of their relationship, and that allowed him to better guess her thoughts.
Yan Xuehen calmed down and thought about it. “Yes, you’re right. The demoness is capable of that. She probably plans for us to embarrass ourselves, so she can mock me for that...”
She felt stifled. I should be angry about that, but it just so happens I have an affair with Zu An. The demoness hit the nail on the head by chance!
Zu An couldn’t help but wonder if the two women would gang up against him if they learned about each other’s relationship with him. The ensuing drama that could arise from that made him shudder.
