Let me explain, it's not what you think.

But if you really ask Yu Ning if she regrets it, her answer is still no.

The most unsolvable part of the problem isn't with them, but with Bao'er.

And now, here I am, there's also...

"What are you doing out here? You heard everything too?" Lu Chen's attitude towards Yu Ning was very bad.

"Lu Lang, don't worry, Ning'er will never look back!"

"What do you mean? You pressured me enough back then, and now that there's room for maneuver, you..."

Jiang Huaiyu is a pure victim, so it's understandable that she doesn't forgive Wang Feng. But what about Yu Ning?

"There's no going back, Lu Lang. Ning'er has nothing left... and now... Lu Lang, please don't abandon Ning'er!"

The next day, when Lu Chen woke up, there was no one beside him.

Yu Ning had already disappeared. He sensed her, but she wasn't in the magic rune space either.

Remembering what Yu Ning had told him late last night, he immediately got up and went straight to Zhang Fan's cave!

This woman is definitely going to try and pull off Jiang Huaiyu's trick! No, he has to stop her!

But when Lu Chen arrived at Zhang Fan's cave, Zhang Fan was standing at the door. His face did not show the dejection that Lu Chen had expected. On the contrary, he looked... somewhat relaxed.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

"Senior brother, what brings you here?"

"I heard Yu Ning came by?" Lu Chen asked directly.

"I've been here."

Lu Chen stared at his face, trying to find a trace of sadness, anger, or at least loss.

Zhang Fan's expression was excessively calm, with even a faint smile playing on his lips.

She said she found a man who would take responsibility for her.

Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat.

"And then what? You're just going to let it go like that?"

"Does it count?" Zhang Fan glanced at him and suddenly smiled.

"Senior brother, you really don't understand Yu Ning at all."

"Do you think I don't know what she's up to? Isn't she obviously just trying to annoy me? And it's only been a few days!"

Lu Chen: "..."

Yes, it's only been a few days!

"She said she found a man, and that the man was in her cave that night, and told me to go and see him. Isn't that just a roundabout way of asking me to go find her?"

Lu Chen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't say anything.

Silly junior brother, she's already completely... and you're still fantasizing!

"Senior brother, you don't know, that's just how she is."

Zhang Fan's tone was as relaxed as if he were complaining about one of his wife's little habits.

"She's stubborn but soft-hearted. She clearly wants me to go to her, but she insists on saying things to provoke me. If she really had a man, would she bother to come and tell me? She'd be avoiding me like the plague!"

"She was just angry because I said something harsh that day, and she wanted to make me angry. Isn't that woman childish?"

Lu Chen sat there, feeling something buzzing in his head.

She is by no means naive; her learning ability is terrifying, and she has already mastered most of the thirty-six moves!

She's trying to make you give up. She doesn't dare tell you the truth, so she can only use this method to make you back down.

But Lu Chen couldn't utter a single word. In Zhang Fan's current state, he absolutely couldn't listen to any advice!

Seeing his silence, Zhang Fan assumed he was worried and patted him on the shoulder: "Senior brother, don't worry unnecessarily. I know what I'm doing. Do you think I don't know Yu Ning's temper?"

"Now, I'm just waiting for the night to pass! Then I'll bring her the spirit fruit she loves and properly apologize to her."

"Senior brother, you don't know, she loves to eat Green Spirit Fruit the most. It's sour, and she always frowns when she eats it, but she still can't stop eating it."

Lu Chen closed his eyes in pain.

No, she loves crab sticks! I've never seen her eat any spirit fruits or anything like that!

"Junior brother."

"Um?"

"What if... I mean, just in case, what if the man she was talking about is real?"

There was a moment of silence in the cave, then Zhang Fan smiled.

"Senior brother, why are you contradicting me today? If Yu Ning really had someone else, she wouldn't have told me. She would hide away, far away, and not see anyone!"

"The fact that she came to see me means she still cares about me, so you don't need to worry!"

"Okay." Lu Chen left immediately.

When he got home, he found Yu Ning sitting prettily in the living room, waiting for him to return.

"My lord, why did you leave after I was only gone for a short while!"

When Lu Chen returned, she immediately hugged his arm.

Lu Chen truly hadn't expected Yu Ning to be this kind of person. She was so clingy, it was outrageous, and she even started calling him by his name...!

If they aren't properly educated, what will become of them in the future?!

"What exactly did you say to him? He seemed quite happy."

"Well, I'll just tell the truth, but he just won't believe me. If I want him to give up, I'll have to have you act in a play with me later..."

"Enough! Yu Ning! You've really gone too far this time! Do you know how much this will hurt him!"

"Oh dear, don't be angry. Ning'er had no other choice. No matter what I said, he just wouldn't believe me. To stop him from bothering me, I figured it was better to end it quickly than to suffer for a long time, so I had to resort to this method."

Yu Ning acted pitiful, pretending to be doing it for others' good, which made Lu Chen lose his temper immediately.

Yes, it has already happened. Yu Ning is essentially one of us now. Although I didn't think that way at first, so what?

Can Lu Chen change the established fact that the three women are already...?

Lu Chen stared at her for a long time.

Yu Ning stood in front of him, hugging his arm tightly, like a clingy kitten.

Her eyes sparkled, carrying a hint of cunning, a hint of ingratiation, and a hint of barely concealed smugness.

She knew she had won, knew Lu Chen couldn't do anything to her, and knew he was beginning to waver.

"My husband~"

Lu Chen sighed.

I must get her a set of the Tender Catgirl outfit someday, so she'll know why flowers are so red!

"Let's go. You're right. It's better to end it quickly than to suffer for a long time. We need to make him give up on you."

"Ning'er knew it! My husband is the best! Ning'er belongs to my husband!"
