Chapter 1140: Chapter 1167:

"Of course not. What are you thinking about?" Nianyang smiled and said, "I wasn’t planning on making you cooperate with me, silly. He’s your second uncle, your relative. If you go against him with me, wouldn’t you be seen as a traitor? I can’t bear to let such a good Nuannuan be called ungrateful. You’re exactly the good Nuannuan I know."

Shi Nuan couldn’t help but grip Nianyang’s hand tightly,

"Nianyang, you’re so good."

Chu Zhan spoke, "Sister, let this matter go."

Nianyang was taken aback, "Brother, Lu Xingshen almost killed you, and you’re not going to mind?"

Shi Nuan was also in a daze; Chu Zhan’s reaction was somewhat too unusual.

"Chu Zhan, did your brain freeze?" She looked at him nervously and asked. Generally, when someone is harmed and almost loses their life, it’s hard to just let it go.

Unless you’re the Saint Mother. But Chu Zhan, known to retaliate at the slightest offense, is obviously not that kind of person.

"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? If my brain froze, your life would be miserable half of your life."

Chu Zhan hid the darkness in his eyes and smiled slightly, "It’s not that I don’t mind, it’s that I can’t mind."

Nianyang waited for him to continue.

"This time I was supposed to go to the three snowy mountains anyway. Even if it wasn’t me, it would have been someone else.

Lu Xingshen wasn’t particularly vicious to me. He just played some underhanded tricks on this project of mine. If we pursue it, we won’t find anything concrete. Instead, we might get bitten back, which would be a waste of effort."

Nianyang thought about it and agreed, wrinkling her small nose, "But are you just going to let it go like this? Brother, I’m very angry."

Chu Zhan smiled, "Let’s let it go this time. After all, he’s Nuannuan’s second uncle. When Nuannuan becomes my wife, we’ll still have to interact. There’s no need to make things too tense."

Nianyang gritted her teeth, "Alright then, I’ll listen to you this time. But if he stirs up trouble again, I won’t let him go."

"If there’s a next time, not only you, I won’t let it go either."

"Alright then, brother. You should rest well. I won’t bother you two. I won’t tell the family about your accident; otherwise, they definitely won’t stand idly by."

After Nianyang finished speaking, she stood up and walked out.

"Nuannuan, why aren’t you talking?" As soon as Nianyang left, Chu Zhan patted Shi Nuan, who was looking down in silence.

"Chu Zhan, are you really not planning to mind this matter?"

Shi Nuan held back and asked anyway.

Chu Zhan spoke the truth, "Nuannuan, that’s your uncle. This isn’t a big deal. I don’t want to put you in an embarrassing situation."

"You don’t have to wrong yourself for me. You said it yourself; I’m me, and my second uncle is my uncle. We’re different. You don’t need to consider my feelings. Besides, this matter was originally his fault."

"Nuannuan, I love you. Why can’t I wrong myself for you?"

Chu Zhan looked matter-of-factly, "I’ve never wronged myself for anyone in this life. Today, I just want to do it for my wife. Can’t I?"

"..."

Sure, you can.

But.

What’s with your proud expression?

Chu Zhan reached out and wrapped his arms around Shi Nuan’s slender waist, his voice low and husky, "Nuannuan, as you said, he’s your second uncle. He’s been by your side for so many years. He’s your family, your only family, and in the future, he’ll also be my second uncle in name. How could I bear to go against your family?"
