20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3726 Not Enough Chips
Zhao Chang'an hesitated for a moment, then said to Su Ying, "It's hard to say, it would be quite offensive."

Seeing his hesitation, Su Ying quickly said with a racing heart, "Just say what you want to say. Auntie will just listen. We'll just talk about whatever comes to mind. No matter what we say, it's all behind closed doors."

Since Zhao Chang'an said so, it means he really has a solution, and Shan Qiang is a perfect example. Moreover, the fact that he said "offend" and seemed hesitant only proves its effectiveness.

If a method that allows women to maintain their beauty had only benefits and no side effects or sacrifices, it would have become popular all over the world long ago. The fact that it hasn't become popular simply means that the conditions are too demanding.

Zhao Chang'an was still a little hesitant, because if he told Su Ying about this method, would she find it unbelievable and think that he was shameless and had ulterior motives towards her?

This also means that Zhao Chang'an has inadvertently admitted to Su Ying his relationship with Shan Qiang. If Su Ying were to spread this around, it would be a real problem.

Seeing Zhao Chang'an's hesitation, Su Ying felt like she was being scratched by a cat, and she was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

Knowing that Zhao Chang'an had concerns meant that his methods absolutely could not be exposed, as they violated ethics and even broke the law.

If Su Ying didn't know Zhao Chang'an had a way, that would be one thing, but now that she does know, she'd go crazy if she didn't know what it was!

The air conditioner in the room was still blowing hot air, and the indoor temperature made Su Ying feel a layer of hot sweat on her delicate body inside her down jacket, to the point that sweat even appeared on her temples.

If Zhao Chang'an hadn't said those things, she would have stood up and left right then and there, or at least, as an elder, asked him to turn off the air conditioner.

But she didn't want to leave, and she needed Zhao Chang'an's help, so she couldn't let him turn off the air conditioner lest she upset him. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It's really hot in your room!"

She boldly pulled open the down jacket she was wearing over her Mickey Mouse nightgown, stood up, and took it off.

As Su Ying pulled her coat back and leaned forward to take it off, Zhao Chang'an stared wide-eyed at her proud figure. He also noticed that it was originally a sleeveless, low-cut nightgown. After the coat was taken off, the neckline dropped so low that it revealed most of the upper part of her bra, which was the same color as the nightgown—pink.

"This Liu Cui, I just grabbed a new set from her closet. It turns out she bought a matching set with you. If I hadn't caused trouble tonight, she would be in bed with you wearing this right now. Don't worry, I won't disturb your sweet time together next time."

Su Ying said these things to appeal to Zhao Chang'an's emotions while simultaneously threatening him.

What she didn't know was that Zhao Chang'an would be even more hesitant to say anything after she said that.

So the two stared at each other, Su Ying anxiously hoping Zhao Chang'an would get to the point, while Zhao Chang'an was looking at Su Ying wearing a matching nightgown, revealing a large expanse of skin on her chest, her delicate collarbone, and the lines squeezed out by her bra.

"Zhao Chang'an, what do you mean by this? Leaving things unfinished? If you don't tell me tonight, I'm not leaving!"

Su Ying also got angry: "How embarrassing can it be? Do you need dragon liver and phoenix brain, or do you have to castrate yourself before you can practice divine skills? Besides, I'm sure you haven't castrated yourself."

"Auntie, you have to do this after I tell you, otherwise it will be troublesome."

Zhao Chang'an looked at Su Ying. This mature woman in her early forties possessed an intellectual beauty. Perhaps she didn't have the youthful beauty of a young girl in her early twenties, but her unique charm and allure could still make men's hearts flutter.

"Isn't that obvious? If Shan Qiang can do it, why can't I?"

“I didn’t say Shan Qiang.”

Zhao Chang'an vehemently denied it.

"Stop hiding it. I saw Shan Qiang up close four years ago, and she looked older than me then. Now, four years later, she looks even younger than she did back then. I'm not stupid. Rumor has it that you and Wen Ye are masters of traditional Chinese medicine. You even managed to wake up Dang Chenying from a vegetative state. Wen Ye's grandfather is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner with a family tradition spanning generations, and his grandmother is from the Ye family. In recent years, Ye Pingbai and his associates came looking for her, even taking over the Peach Blossom Lake scenic area. In the end, it was you who forced the Ye family to leave. Now, Ye Yiyi has come, saying that many more people from the Ye family will be coming next month, and they want to cooperate with you. I didn't understand this before, but now that you've explained it, I get it. They've been plotting against you all along!"

Su Ying became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes shining. As a beautiful woman who loved beauty and whose outstanding appearance had changed her life and destiny, once she learned of such a method to maintain her youth and beauty, she would do it without batting an eye, even if it meant going through fire and water.

As Zhao Chang'an listened to Su Ying's self-righteous speculation, he could now be certain of her determination. However, such a thing was too incredible and required her to have a strong will.

Fortunately, she was a selfish woman, utterly unfaithful to her husband Liu Mingjie. "Auntie, this is something that if you disagree once I tell you,"

"I definitely agree!"

Su Ying smiled and nodded repeatedly at Zhao Chang'an, afraid that he would change his mind.

“Auntie, saying these things is useless. You need to come up with substantial collateral or countermeasures. That way, even if you disagree, I will have leverage over you and I won’t be afraid of you talking nonsense outside.”

Zhao Chang'an discussed this issue with Su Ying very seriously.

Su Ying's smile vanished, and she said with a frosty expression, "You really don't trust me?"

"This isn't a matter of believing or not believing, but rather that I need to protect myself. To put it another way, I was also thinking of you, so that it wouldn't become a tool for you to manipulate me in the end."

Su Ying's chest heaved violently with anger.

"I'll tell you a secret, actually,"

Su Ying said to Zhao Chang'an, "Turn off the lights!"

Zhao Chang'an stood up and turned off the lights in the room, plunging the entire room into darkness, with only the moonlight shining in from outside the window.

"Draw the curtains!"

Su Ying's voice changed slightly as she continued to give Zhao Chang'an orders.

"Wow--"

Zhao Chang'an drew the thick curtains, and the room was instantly pitch black.

He walked over to Su Ying, sat down next to her, and couldn't help but say, "What perfume are you wearing? It smells so good."

"Actually, besides your uncle, your aunt has another good friend, who is Liu Cui's godfather when she was a child."

After saying this, Su Ying's face turned red and her voice trembled: "But I didn't know anything back then and I really needed help. And over the years, he has helped me and your uncle a lot. As the saying goes, you should repay kindness. No matter how much you look down on me, I am really grateful to him."

Zhao Chang'an remained silent.

"Can you tell me now?"

Su Ying's voice was hoarse and somewhat cold. Only darkness could conceal the shame in her heart; otherwise, she really didn't know how to face Zhao Chang'an.

She had previously disagreed with her daughter's contact with Zhao Chang'an because she disliked him, finding him too promiscuous and shameless.

So now that she's said these things, what right does she have to talk about Zhao Chang'an?

however,
Zhao Chang'an said in a deep voice, "That's not enough!"

For a moment, Su Ying thought she had misheard.
