So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

For example, should she confess to Zhou You that she is his godmother? Or the mayor? And ask him to cooperate with her?

"It doesn't feel right to be so direct and frank," 'Willow Catkins' hesitated.

In her view, there were several possibilities after she revealed her identity to Zhou You.

First, the two cooperated smoothly. She understood the ins and outs of the matter, and through negotiation, they reached a result that everyone could accept, keeping all the forces in line.

Secondly, Zhou You is more inclined to believe that his girlfriend refused to help him and even told them that he was the mayor, which would likely cause her to completely lose the opportunity to learn the truth.

Thirdly, Zhou You tried to help, but failed and was discovered by them...

Who knows what Yun Mingyue and Ning Moxin will think? Even if Zhou You is their boyfriend (?), they might still turn their backs on him if he tries to uncover their family secrets.

When these powerful and influential people get ruthless, three cuts and six holes are considered mild.

As Zhou You's godmother, even though the current situation in Hangzhou is indeed very delicate, and if it were to escalate, it would result in significant deductions in her future file reviews, affecting her career, she didn't want him to be in too much danger.

The idea of ​​"willow catkins" has clearly reached a dead end.

In reality, even if the older sisters wanted to punish Zhou You, they would only make him so weak in the legs that he couldn't get out of bed for several days.

"I can only lie low for now and wait for the right opportunity. Maybe with a bit of luck, I'll be able to find out the truth?"

'Willow Catkins' paused, sighed softly, and took short strides toward the three people waving at her. "Actually, it would be best if I could obtain an identity that would allow me to integrate more perfectly into this circle, making it easier for me to conduct my investigation."

She returned to the three of them, and after making up her mind, her standards dropped even lower.

'Willow Catkins' smiled sweetly, "My two beautiful ladies~~ Sorry to keep you waiting~~"

"I've been waiting for a long time too." For some reason, Zhou You couldn't help but tease 'Liu Xu'.

It's like holding a needle in your hand and having a bunch of balloons in front of you.

Stabbing? That doesn't seem like a good idea.

Not wanting to get it done? Really don't want to try it?

"Oh, I see." 'Willow Catkins' responded calmly, without a trace of the cuteness and sweetness she had shown to Yun Mingyue and Ning Moxin just now.

"Little brother, even you have times when girls dislike you," Yun Mingyue teased from the side.

"Mingyue, don't say that. Xiaoyou isn't a hundred-yuan bill, of course he can't be liked by everyone." Ning Moxin smiled from the side.

"..."

Zhou You touched his face, beginning to doubt his own friendliness. The older girls all seemed to like him, so why was this little girl always so indifferent to him?

Oh, right, my godmother seems to have said that Xiao Liuxu is a bit arrogant, but actually Xiao Liuxu really likes him.

He recalled their previous chat and carefully observed 'Liu Xu' for a moment, noticing that she would deliberately put on a serious face and act like a little adult only in front of him.

Does that seem to fit the characteristics of a tsundere?

He wondered if 'Willow Catkins' was really a haughty person. The two older sisters squatted down and talked to 'Willow Catkins' with smiles, asking some questions.

For example, Little Willow Catkin, what's your mother's name? What do you usually like to eat?

These seemingly friendly gestures were actually attempts to elicit information, secretly preparing to leave a good impression on Xiao Chuchu during their first meeting.

Of course, if someone were to look at it from God's perspective, they would find the scene quite amusing.

Two women, trying to please their boyfriends' godmothers, kept calling her "little willow catkin" and "cute little thing," which annoyed their boyfriends so much that their mouths twitched from time to time.

With the intention of first establishing a good relationship with Yun Mingyue and Ning Moxin, 'Willow Catkins' reluctantly mustered the patience to answer a few questions. However, seeing that they were getting into the mood and that the questions were becoming increasingly strange, she couldn't help but frown and decided to change the subject.

She pointed to the library and said in her sweet, Coco-like voice, "Two beautiful ladies, I'd like to go to the library to read."

In a place like a library where loud noises are prohibited, you can't just keep asking me endless questions, can you?

“I’ll take you inside. I often come here to read, so I’m very familiar with this place.” Ning Moxin smiled slightly, got up, and led 'Liu Xu' inside, with Yun Mingyue walking beside her.

Zhou You lagged behind and passed a small platform. On the platform was a large booklet with a brown leather cover, and two female tourists were standing in front of the platform holding pens.

“We can leave messages here, would you like to write a few words?” a female tourist asked.

"Look, someone wrote that on it..."

Another female tourist pointed to the large booklet and murmured, "I looked at your lips in the moonlight, like silver snow covering the rolling hills. I thought, I would kiss the snow to melt it."

"The signature is..."

264. Exactly the same as her idea.

"Is the signature 'Shuimo Nianhua'?"

As the female tourist spoke, she subconsciously began to flip through the large booklet. She flipped through it and quickly found another sentence, also a 'word' left by Shuimo Nianhua.

She continued reading slowly and deliberately, “If you tell others that you are in a state of turmoil and your thoughts are in turmoil, most of the time you can only think about it and imagine it, and then say a few words of comfort and that’s it.”

"If you say: 'That day I saw the person I like snuggling with someone else, and I could only watch them being affectionate from the sidelines, and I had to keep smiling and say words of blessing,' he would immediately feel restless."

After the female tourist finished reading, she trembled, her expression changed slightly, and she felt a sense of empathy. "How tragic! This is too tragic!"

She couldn't help but keep flipping through the pages, wanting to see if there were any more messages after "Ink and Wash Years".

The female tourist flipped through a few pages and found only a few altered messages. It was easy to tell that the alterations were very recent, as if someone had just deliberately erased them.

"Who is so inconsiderate as to alter someone else's message?" The female tourist and her friend were indignant when they saw the alterations.

Zhou You stood near the two female tourists, craning his neck to peer inside. He was certain that it was Ning Moxin's handwriting. Considering that Sister Mo had inexplicably appeared here today, it was very clear who had altered the message.

"Sister Mo." He stopped in his tracks, deep in thought.

The two female tourists muttered some angry words, wrote a few words in a message reminding everyone not to arbitrarily alter other people's messages, and then left.

A while later.

"Xiao You." Ning Moxin walked out of the library alone, stood beside Zhou You, and called him softly.

When she saw him turn to look at her, she continued in a low voice, "I was walking along and realized you were gone, so I turned back to look for you."

At this moment, Ning Moxin's gaze finally moved to the large booklet.

"You saw this?" she said softly, guessing why Zhou You was in a daze. "I just wrote it casually when I was being a bit of a literary type, you don't need to take it too seriously."

"Sister Mo, I..." Zhou You wanted to say something with a complicated expression.

Ning Moxin raised her hand to stop him from continuing, "I knew that if you happened to see this, Xiao You, you would make this face, so I took some time today to come here and erase the message on it. But when I was halfway through erasing it, I found you outside, so I subconsciously ran out to look for you."

Of course, after she ran out, she felt that it was a bit unladylike to hug Zhou You so tightly, and also because 'Liu Xu' was really cute, which made her unable to resist.

That's why what happened at the door just now occurred.

“Teacher Ning.” Upon hearing this, Zhou You’s expression became even more complicated.

Teacher Ning, who knows Zhou very well, must have done countless things behind the scenes to hide her sadness so that he wouldn't find out.

Then, she only showed him her radiant, gentle, and most beautiful self.

Tell Zhou that Teacher Ning will always be such a reliable, gentle, and considerate older sister.

"Xiao You".

Ning Moxin seemed to understand Zhou You's thoughts. She affectionately hooked her arm around his and nuzzled him with her head. Her playful appearance was completely different from the sorrowful image that had appeared in her mind when she read those few messages earlier.

Don't make that face~~ That's all in the past.

She pulled him inside, her voice growing softer and gentler, "Right now, I'm so happy to be with you."

"..."

"Of the three thousand worlds, I love three: the sun, the moon, and you..." Ning Moxin murmured softly.

“The sun is morning, the moon is evening, and you are morning and evening.” Zhou You continued Ning Moxin’s words.

"Xiao You, you actually managed to keep that line?" Ning Moxin was surprised. What she said wasn't some famous quote, but just a love quote she happened to see online and thought it was interesting, so she wrote it down.

Zhou You explained in a low voice, "I saw it online by chance and thought it was interesting, so I wrote it down."

What he said was exactly the same as what she thought.

He paused, glancing at Ning Moxin's delicate face, "It should be considered a coincidence that we were able to connect."

"Don't call it a coincidence."

Ning Moxin raised her hand and touched Zhou You's lips with her fair finger. Her eyes narrowed like crescent moons. "I prefer you to call this—fate."

"fate."

"Ah."

She responded softly, a smile on her face, her steps light and graceful.

As expected of Teacher Ning's student, Zhou.

I'm so happy!

…………

When Zhou You took Yun Mingyue to find 'Willow Catkins', they encountered Ning Moxin and discovered some minor but significant things that Teacher Ning had been hiding.

Hangzhou, formerly the Huancheng Hotel, now the Chen family's stronghold.

After visiting several major companies in Hangzhou, Li Muyun found Chen Tangtang lying motionless on the sofa.

"Tangtang, you've been idle all morning like this?" Li Muyun looked at his eldest daughter and wanted to take back his earlier statement that "Tangtang is actually very capable."

"There's really nothing going on today, and it's Sunday! It's a day off!" Chen Tangtang said with great conviction when she mentioned the day off.

"Can't you think about other things when there's nothing to do at work?"

"Other things?"

"For example, think about how to win over your little male god." Li Muyun sighed, too lazy to play games with Chen Tangtang.

“I’ve thought about this for a while now.” Chen Tangtang sat up from the sofa. “But Yun Mingyue hasn’t let her guard down. I’m still waiting for an opportunity.”

She paused, crossed her arms, and said with great seriousness, "Mom, don't worry. As long as I keep sticking to my little heartthrob, there will always be a chance. Once the opportunity arises, I will definitely use swift and decisive measures and will not miss it."

"Waiting for Yun Mingyue to make a mistake on her own is too passive."

When Li Muyun heard Chen Tangtang say this, there was no joy on his face. Instead, he shook his head and said, "What's the difference between you just waiting like this and a concubine waiting for the Empress to grant you permission to serve her in bed?"

“I think there is still something to it…” Chen Tangtang was speechless when Li Muyun questioned her like that.

Upon closer reflection, I realized that my mother's analogy wasn't unfounded; in fact, it was quite vivid and descriptive.
