She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 135 Cultivating Marital Affection
Huo Junyan gripped his phone tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

A throbbing pain shot through his temples, so intense it made his eyes red and he felt like smashing his phone.

Qi Ming's eyelids twitched, and he quickly whispered, "Young Master, why don't we get out of the car first?"

Wang Ma also chimed in, coaxing, "Young Master, the Old Madam just wants you and Young Madam to spend time together and cultivate your relationship; she has no other intentions."

Huo Junyan lightly swept his gaze across their faces, but his eyes held an endless chill.

The faint fragrance still lingered in the air, soothing his wildly beating nerves.

He calmed himself down and asked, "Where is she now?"

Qi Ming immediately said, "The young mistress has gone to a friend's place and hasn't returned yet. She might be back very late."

Huo Junyan remembered that Nan Qingqing had left with Meng Yi, and his eyes darkened, his tone filled with displeasure.

Tell her she doesn't need to come back tonight; I don't want to see her.

These words were resounding and left no room for refusal.

He then looked at Wang Ma and said, "Wang Ma, take me back to my room."

Wang Ma quickly replied, "Yes, young master."

As soon as they entered, Qi Ming rubbed his stiff face, his smile vanished, and his expression turned worried.

"The old lady is forcing the young master and young mistress to live together for a week. Judging from the young master's attitude, he seems to be very resistant to the young mistress. The next week is probably going to be tough!"

jingle--

The phone suddenly rang, and Qi Ming quickly picked it up, seeing that it was Nan Yu calling.

He immediately composed himself, forcing a smile, "Hey, young mistress, are you coming back?"

Nan Yu's cheerful voice came over.

"Butler Qi, I won't be back tonight. You don't need to wait for me. Get some rest." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming realized that the old lady must not have told the young mistress about this matter yet.

She couldn't help but sigh, remembering the young master's words that he wouldn't allow the young mistress to come home tonight.

"Let's leave it at that for tonight. We'll talk about it again when the young mistress comes back tomorrow."

Upon entering the house, Qi Ming saw Wang Ma coming downstairs. Before he could speak, Wang Ma rushed up to him and spoke in a low voice.

"Qi Ming, the young master refused to stay in the bridal chamber and chose the guest room furthest from the young mistress. Do you think I should go to the guest room to refill some aphrodisiac incense?"

Qi Ming stopped her, "No need, the young mistress won't be back tonight, let's just get rid of the smell in the bridal chamber."

Aunt Wang asked in alarm, "You wouldn't really call the young mistress and say that the young master won't let her come home, would you?"

Qi Ming glanced at her and explained helplessly, "It was the young mistress herself who said she wouldn't be coming back tonight."

Aunt Wang pursed her lips. "Should we tell the old lady and ask her to call the young mistress back?"

Qi Ming shook his head, "Given the young master's current mood, I'm afraid that seeing the young mistress might not deepen their relationship but instead increase their conflicts, making the days ahead even more difficult."

Wang Ma nodded, "Then let's wait until the young mistress comes back tomorrow to discuss it."

She paused, then couldn't help but sigh, "I thought the young master and young mistress would be able to consummate their marriage tonight, but it turns out the aphrodisiac was wasted."

Qi Ming looked up at the building and said in a low voice, "They'll be staying together for the next week. We can find another opportunity later."

Wang Ma's eyes changed slightly, and she rolled up her sleeves. "If all else fails, I'll push the young master into that bridal chamber, and you can stuff the young mistress into it. I don't believe the aphrodisiac won't work on both of them!"

Hearing Wang Ma's simple and crude method, Qi Ming exclaimed in surprise, "Wang Ma, are you out of your mind? Aren't you afraid of angering the young master?"

Wang Ma said in a serious tone, "I'm doing this all for the young master's future happiness. I believe he won't be angry or make things difficult for me."
