Chapter 173 - 171: Husband Sings, Wife Follows
Everyone thought the same, except for Wu Ke who was unaware of the reason.
In all the years he had known Wuya, he had never seen him so actively appear in public. He found this Wuya strangely unfamiliar, yet the image of Wuya standing beside Qinghe was extremely pleasing to the eye.
Indeed, he finally realized what was odd—Shen Qinghe was actually calling Wuya "Uncle Master"?
The only person at the scene who was truly unperturbed was Shen Qinghe.
Even when Dongfang Wuya destroyed the gift Xiao Chen had given her, she felt it was nothing out of the ordinary. There were many things Mr. Wuya disliked, and one more hardly made a difference.
Next, Dongfang Wuya took out some bottles and jars and stuffed them into Shen Qinghe’s hands. Shen Qinghe, flustered, stuttered, "Uncle Master, I haven’t finished the elixirs you gave me before."
Dongfang Wuya sneered upon hearing this, "Are you saying you have too many?"
Shen Qinghe hurriedly shook her head, "Not too many, I am just worried that alchemy might be too exhausting for Uncle Master."
The slight furrow in Dongfang Wuya’s brow instantly smoothed out, and all the anger dissipated in an instant, "These are just snacks for you. What could possibly be exhausting about me making alchemy pills?"
They were merely a way for him to pass time after all.
Others around them, upon hearing Dongfang Wuya refer to giving top-grade elixirs to Shen Qinghe as snacks, were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
