Reincarnated as her wicked older sister who has been cleansed up, she attracts a swarm of beastly hu

Chapter 52 So cheesy
Zhu Yan turned his face away, not answering Wen Li's question, and looked very uncomfortable.

“Give it back to me if you’re not going to eat it,” Zhu Yan said.

Wen Li quickly hid the fruit in her hand behind her back.

"No, you've already given it to me."

The items are already in her hands; there's no reason to return them.

Wen Li took a step back, then brought the fruit to her mouth and took a bite.

It was unexpectedly sweet.

Her eyes crinkled as she looked at Zhu Yan and said, "Thanks!"

Zhu Yan was taken aback when she smiled at him, then turned around.

His cheeks flushed bright red in an instant.

Meng Yu watched the interaction between the two from the side, a mischievous smile flashing across her face.

She walked over to Wen Li, munching on a piece of fruit, and affectionately took her arm, saying, "Let's go first."

The mushrooms in this area have all been picked, but there's still a large patch ahead.

However, it becomes even more dangerous to go any further.

Zhu Yan had already recovered and saw the two of them heading in that direction, so he frowned slightly.

Just as he was about to stop the two, Zhao Qi suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

Zhao Qi gently shook his head at him.

"do not go."

Zhu Yan warned, "It's dangerous ahead."

Zhu Yan noticed that the scent of wild animals in the air was becoming increasingly strong, especially as he walked further ahead.

Zhao Qi said, "We came here yesterday. There were no wild animals. It's safe."

Zhu Yan said, "Can't you smell the scent in the air? It's so strong. Even if you can't see it now, it doesn't mean it won't appear in a moment."

"The smell?" Zhao Qi sniffed hard. "There is a smell, but that's because there are a lot of wild animal carcasses over there."

Zhao Qi pointed in a direction.

“The other day, someone from the tribe cleared out all the wild animals in the area, and the carcasses are piled up over there. You mean that’s the smell you’re talking about,” Zhao Qi said.

As for that person, he couldn't remember their name.

After a long pause, he finally managed to stammer out, "Uh... An Yuan's beast husband."

"Is that so?" Zhu Yan's guarded expression softened slightly.

If the opposite side was piled high with corpses, then the smell would be easy to explain.

"They both seem to be having a great time, so it's best if you don't go over and disturb them," Zhao Qi advised earnestly.

"Besides, even if there are wild animals, can't you protect her?"

Zhao Qi's question silenced all the words Zhu Yan wanted to say.

Yeah, so what if there are wild animals?
He can protect Wen Li just the same way.

The two followed quietly behind Meng Yu and Wen Li, neither too close nor too far.

Zhu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Are you always like this?"

Zhao Qi looked puzzled. "What?"

"Never mind, it's nothing." Zhu Yan didn't know how to ask, so he waved his hand.

Zhao Qi looked completely bewildered.

However, his attention was quickly drawn to a small blue flower not far away.

The tiny flowers grow beneath the trees, a beautiful sky blue.

Zhao Qi's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over and picked the flower.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Yan asked, puzzled.

Zhao Qi carefully protected the flower in her hand, and finally raised her chin in Meng Yu's direction.

"I picked these for my little darling."

Zhu Yan couldn't stand such mushy words, and his face scrunched up.

"That's what I wanted to say. Is this how you usually are?" Zhu Yan asked.

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, "Yes, what's wrong? It's fine this way."

"What's so good about it!" Zhu Yan said with a look of disgust.

It's strange, extremely strange, incredibly strange.

Zhao Qi raised an eyebrow. "But there's nothing I can do. My darling just likes me like this."

Zhao Qi was quite pleased with himself when he said this.

He could guess what Zhu Yan was thinking just by looking at his expression. Zhao Qi was far better than others at reading people's expressions.

"Do you think I lack masculinity?" Zhao Qi asked bluntly.

Zhu Yan: "I didn't say that."

Zhao Qi laughed and said, "Although you didn't say it, I could tell from your expression."

"Don't look down on me, there are quite a few females who like males like me." A hint of pride flashed across Zhao Qi's face. "At least I'm very pampered at home."

He was good at talking and taking care of Meng Yu's feelings. Although he wasn't as strong as the other beastmen, he was the most favored one in the family.

Zhu Yan's expression seemed indifferent.

Zhao Qi said, "Although you are Wen Li's beast husband, your relationship with her isn't very good."

Zhao Qi's words hit the nail on the head, and Zhu Yan's expression froze instantly.

"What do you mean!" Zhu Yan's face turned cold.

Zhao Qi shrugged innocently, "Because she's very distant towards you. You two don't seem like a couple at all."

The truth is the sharpest knife.

In the past, Zhu Yan would not have felt anything upon hearing these words; in fact, he might have been pleased.

It's better if they don't act like a married couple. He doesn't like Wen Li anyway, and they'll get divorced when the time comes.

Hearing Zhao Qi say that now, Zhu Yan felt a sharp pain in her heart.

It felt like a dull knife was cutting into his heart, causing him immense pain, yet he was powerless to refute it.

"Shut up!"

Zhu Yan broke down and glared fiercely at Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi wasn't afraid at all and laughed, "The more you act like this, the less Wen Li will like you. You'd better hurry up and change your bad temper."

Zhu Yan's forehead twitched; he was furious.

Zhao Qi continued, "Wen Li is so outstanding now. If you don't improve your competitiveness, she'll dump you sooner or later."

Zhu Yan's expression changed.

Zhao Qi didn't wait for him to speak, and walked towards Meng Yu with the small blue flower she had picked.

"Hey, here you go."

Meng Yu looked delighted. "These flowers are so beautiful! Where did you get them?"

Wen Li's gaze also fell on the flowers in Meng Yu's hand.

The sky-blue flowers are indeed very pretty.

But that's not what she envied.

She envied Meng Yu even more for having a gentle and considerate husband who could always prepare surprises for her.

"Meng Yu, Zhao Qi is so good to you," Wen Li exclaimed.

Thinking back on her several beastly husbands, Wen Li felt a pang of sorrow.

People are more mad than people.

Why can't she find a gentle and considerate beastly husband?

When Zhu Yan caught up, he saw Wen Li looking at Meng Yu and Zhao Qi with envy.

He heard what she said.

His envy was palpable.

Being loved so dearly by her beastly husband filled Meng Yu with an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.

She patted Wen Li comfortingly, "Your beast husbands are great too, each one of them is so strong, so many people are envious of you!"

Wen Li listened, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart, and managed only a forced smile.

what is this?
Every family has its cupboard.

Although her beast husbands are strong, they don't love her, so what's the use?

In the end, they will still separate.

She was just temporarily holding onto the beast's husband for someone else.

Although Wen Li didn't say anything, her expression clearly betrayed her thoughts.

Zhu Yan clearly saw her expression.

My heart felt like it was being crawled on by ants, gnawing at me, causing both pain and itchiness—a truly unpleasant feeling.

The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

Wen Li didn't want to continue this topic and said, "Okay, let's continue picking mushrooms."

Wen Li found a spot by herself, and Zhu Yan came to her side.
