Chapter 349: Chapter 348: People Who Love to Read, Understand More
Qin Yanyang came home from work in the evening. At dinner, Yang Fei mentioned something about Zhuge Hong.
Qin Yanyang frowned slightly and said, "Are you suggesting that Zhuge Hong might come looking for you to cause trouble?"
Yang Fei nodded and said, "Wang Hui said that Zhuge Hong is passionately romantic. She and Zhang Yunlong have been married for a long time, and their relationship is very deep. Since Zhang Yunlong was abducted, if Zhuge Hong cannot find Zhang Yunlong’s whereabouts, she will definitely come looking for me."
A strange color flashed in Qin Yanyang’s eyes as she looked at Yang Fei and said, "Why would she come looking for you? Could it be that you really had someone abduct Zhang Yunlong?"
Seeing her piercing gaze filled with suspicion, Yang Fei couldn’t help but smile secretly to himself.
With a nonchalant demeanor, he said, "This is what Wang Hui speculated. The True Qi I left in his body acted up, he couldn’t control it, and came to me for help. Perhaps to please me, he told me about the relationship between Zhuge Hong and Zhang Yunlong. He analyzed that Zhang Yunlong was abducted on the day I dueled with Zhang Yunqing, which is too much of a coincidence. If Zhuge Hong can’t find Zhang Yunlong’s whereabouts, she’ll suspect my involvement in the abduction and will definitely come to trouble me."
Qin Yanyang kept looking into Yang Fei’s eyes, and seeing his expression remained unchanged and calm, she couldn’t help being puzzled.
She always felt that Yang Fei was somewhat mysterious, perhaps possessing another identity.
She even thought that it was too coincidental that Zhang Yunlong was abducted that day. Why did the people of International Madman happen to abduct him on that very day?
Moreover, before Zhang Yunlong was abducted, he had a confrontation with Yang Fei and seemed to have been poisoned.
Yang Fei’s medical skill is extraordinary, and he should also be well-versed in poison technique, so Qin Yanyang suspected the incident was related to Yang Fei, but she had no evidence.
Now that Yang Fei had brought up the matter himself and mentioned that Zhuge Hong might suspect him and come causing trouble, she tried to probe further, but discovered nothing.
Had she been overthinking it?
Qin Yanyang shook her head secretly, choosing not to dwell on it any longer, and said, "According to Wang Hui’s analysis, there is a high possibility that Zhuge Hong will come looking for you."
Yang Fei suddenly smiled, looked at Qin Yanyang, and said, "Wife, Wang Hui mentioned that Hidden Sect also values and cares for the cultivators of genius in the secular world. You are so talented and aware of the existence of Hidden Sect, have you ever been to the Hidden Sect World before and received some benefits from them?"
Qin Yanyang’s expression changed slightly, and she quickly said, "I have never been to Hidden Sect."
Yang Fei smiled faintly.
Although Qin Yanyang concealed it well and her change in expression was brief, he still spotted the flaw.
She was hiding something from him.
But what was there to hide?
It was just a visit to the Hidden Sect. Could visiting the Hidden Sect be a state secret, not to be disclosed carelessly?
Qin Yanyang also noticed Yang Fei’s smile.
There was a hint of scorn in that smile.
Qin Yanyang sighed helplessly.
This husband wasn’t easy to deceive.
She looked at Yang Fei and thought for a moment before saying, "Husband, our relationship is quite good, isn’t it?"
Seeing her suddenly ask this, Yang Fei nodded and said, "It should be. Ever since we met, we have gotten along very well, and over time, feelings of fondness and admiration developed between us, rapidly warming up our relationship, and we are certain to come together in the future."
Qin Yanyang also thought about the wonderful times she had spent with Yang Fei and smiled sweetly, saying, "Yes, I also feel that we will come together in the future. Since that is the case, shouldn’t we be honest with each other, without too many secrets or hiding things from each other?"
Yang Fei was taken aback and looked at Qin Yanyang with confusion.
"Have you always been hiding something from me?" Qin Yanyang stared into Yang Fei’s eyes and asked.
Yang Fei’s eyes flickered.
Qin Yanyang said, "Look at me, don’t dodge."
Yang Fei had no choice but to look at her.
Qin Yanyang asked again, "Tell me, have you been hiding something from me?"
Yang Fei’s throat moved, and he remained silent.
Among the things he hadn’t disclosed to Qin Yanyang, his relationship with Tong Yunshu was the most nerve-wracking.
As for the identity of Madman King, he didn’t care about it anymore.
This wife was very smart and seemed to have already suspected it, so it didn’t matter if she found out.
But the affair with Tong Yunshu, that definitely could not be disclosed now.
It would be a death sentence.
It was beyond saving.
Even if she found out, it would only be after he had already slept with her.
Yang Fei’s thoughts darkened. Qin Yanyang was a relatively conservative woman. If she developed real feelings for him and he slept with her, she might still forgive him after finding out about him and Tong Yunshu, if he tried hard enough.
If she found out now, the chances of salvaging it would be too slim.
Yang Fei realized he was being greedy.
He didn’t want to give up Tong Yunshu, nor did he want to lose Qin Yanyang.
He had never thought he would be this promiscuous.
But the fact was right before his eyes, and he had to admit it.
Qin Yanyang stared at Yang Fei, who seemed to be at a loss, and couldn’t help getting a bit angry as she continued, "I’m asking you a question. Are you willing to be honest with me?"
Yang Fei snapped back to reality, swallowed, and countered, "Do you also have many things you’re hiding from me?"
Qin Yanyang was taken aback, her gaze slightly evasive.
Yang Fei retorted, "Look at me, don’t avoid my gaze."
Recognizing her own words, Qin Yanyang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
She put down her chopsticks and said, "I can’t eat this meal anymore."
Yang Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief and also put down his utensils, saying, "Just as well, I’m full."
Pressing his advantage, he said, "You still haven’t answered my question."
Qin Yanyang snorted, "It was me who asked you first, and you haven’t answered yet."
Yang Fei chuckled, "You’re not easy to fool, huh?"
Pouting, Qin Yanyang said, "If you were sincere about me, why would you always think to hide things from me?"
With a wry smile, Yang Fei explained, "We’ve only known each other for two or three months, though we’ve developed a fondness and some emotional groundwork has been laid. But to truly be open with each other, our emotions need to deepen further."
"I think our feelings for each other are deep enough," Qin Yanyang said.
She was falling for a man for the first time, feeling she had given her all, without holding back.
Yang Fei’s lips curled upward, his gaze lingering on her voluptuous body. He shook his head, "Not deep enough. Zhang Ailing once said that to truly reach the depths of a woman’s soul, you must..."
Qin Yanyang’s ears turned red, and she quickly interjected, "Stop, you pervert."
Yang Fei was taken aback, "You know?"
Qin Yanyang snorted.
Yang Fei then remembered that her biggest hobby was reading.
She must have read Zhang Ailing’s books too.
Women who loved to read knew a lot.
"Ahem, well, honey, since you have read widely, including books about cultivation, and even the Inner Canon of Huangdi mentions it, the practice of Dual Cultivation can truly harmonize the forces of Yin and Yang and Earth. Our cultivating together could have such an effect, and if we truly performed Dual Cultivation, the results would definitely be even better. Don’t you want to try?" Seeing the conversation steered here, Yang Fei stopped hiding his private desires and looked earnestly at Qin Yanyang.
Qin Yanyang’s face flushed, her heart raced, and she found breathing difficult.
She was well aware of what Yang Fei was thinking.
Yet she felt it was all moving too fast.
Though in modern society such pace of development was not unusual, it was her first relationship. She always felt that act was very precious and important to women, and should be done on the wedding day to be perfect.
But Yang Fei’s recent actions planted a seed of doubt in her mind, making her fear she wouldn’t make it to the wedding day.
This guy was too hasty, pestering her every night, and she didn’t know if one day she would just clumsily give in.
Now as he mentioned real Dual Cultivation, she couldn’t help feeling a bit eager.
According to many ancient texts on Dual Cultivation, it was truly beneficial to cultivation.
As she thought about it, Qin Yanyang felt her legs weaken, and abruptly snapped back to reality, immensely embarrassed.
Qin Yanyang, oh Qin Yanyang, how could you let this guy set the pace, you can’t continue like this, otherwise you’ll eventually be under his control.
