Chapter 31 She's Angry
"Did you just come back from hunting?" An Yuan's gaze fell on the prey behind the two of them, and she asked with a smile, "You've had such a good catch today! That's impressive!"

She spoke softly, as if she were pouting.

Meng Yu almost couldn't sit still, "An Yuan is seducing someone again! Wen Li, you..."

Meng Yu turned around and saw Wen Li with an expression that seemed to say nothing was wrong. She was even more puzzled. "Wen Li, aren't you angry? That's your beastly husband."

"What's there to be angry about?" Wen Li shook her head.

She kept the second half of her sentence to herself—the one they liked was An Yuan.

"Hey...you..." Meng Yu wanted to say something more, but Zhao Yi stopped her.

Zhao shook his head gently at her.

Meng Yu had no choice but to swallow what she wanted to say.

The conversation continued not far away.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xin Yuan suddenly took out something wrapped in leaves from the basket on his back and handed it to An Yuan.

"An Yuan, this is for you," Xin Yuan said.

The male next to An Yuan tried to stop her, but An Yuan brushed his hand away.

"What is this?" An Yuan asked curiously as she took it.

Zhu Yan glanced at Xin Yuan in surprise.

An Yuan extended her fair fingers and took the thing Xin Yuan handed over, her fingertips inadvertently brushing against the back of his hand.

Then, she untied the rather heavy-looking leaf package, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise.

"This is... the Heavenly Fruit from the back mountain!?" An Yuan exclaimed in surprise, looking at Xin Yuan with delight, her eyes almost dripping with tears.

Upon hearing the name "Tianguo," both Meng Yu and Zhao Yi were startled, with Meng Yu gritting her teeth in anger.

"Xin Yuan found Tian Guo but didn't give her to you, his beastly wife, but instead gave her to An Yuan!?"

The rarity of the Tianguo fruit is self-evident, and it even has beauty benefits, so all females have a natural yearning for this fruit.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Fruit is extremely difficult to obtain.

Legend has it that a giant serpent, hundreds of years old, dwells on the tree where the fruit grows, and to obtain the Heavenly Fruit, one must overcome the serpent's obstacle.

Many males, in an attempt to please their females, tried to pluck the heavenly fruit, but all perished at the hands of the giant serpent.

Through the original owner's memories, Wen Li also roughly understood the value of this Heavenly Fruit.

According to her common sense, it means that Xin Yuan gave one of his apartments to An Yuan.

Wow, just thinking about it like that made Wen Li's blood pressure start to rise.

But then she realized that the person in question liked An Yuan, and she instantly calmed down.

"Wen Li, don't you have any reaction at all!" Meng Yuguang was about to explode with anger, but Wen Li still had an indifferent attitude.

Wen Li calmly said, "He got the things; it's his freedom to give them to whomever he wants."

But I do feel a little uncomfortable.

She was, after all, his beastly wife. It was really infuriating that Xin Yuan was so openly kind to An Yuan.

An Yuan on the other side was overjoyed.

This is a natural fruit with beauty benefits; after eating it, she can become more beautiful.

More importantly, the fact that Xin Yuan gave her the Heavenly Fruit means that he had feelings for her.

An Yuan's smile grew even brighter.

"Thank you, I'm so happy." She smiled like a flower.

Xin Yuan smiled and shook his head, "No need, you helped me before, this is to repay you."

The group didn't linger there for long before leaving the riverbank.

Wen Li and Meng Yu, who had been standing behind the bushes, came out some time after they left.

Meng Yu looked angry and kept sighing.

"Alright, let's go back." Wen Li picked up her fish again.

Meanwhile, Xin Yuan and Zhu Yan had already returned home.

After setting the prey down, Zhu Yan said in surprise, "So you picked that fruit for An Yuan, not for Wen Li?"

Xin Yuan said, "I also saved one for Wen Li."

Zhu Yan: "Oh." Not long after, Wen Li also returned from outside.

Zhu Yan had just come out of the small kitchen when he saw Wen Li carrying several fat fish.

He looked at her, without making any move to greet her.

After all, Wen Li usually spoke first, and he only needed to nod in response.

Zhu Yan originally thought that this time, just like before, she was ready to nod in agreement.

Wen Li glanced at him briefly and then left.

Zhu Yan: ? ? ?
In the past, considering the need to build goodwill, Wen Li wouldn't have minded taking the initiative to greet Zhu Yan every time.

After what just happened, she just felt listless.

Not interesting.

She saw him, but simply didn't want to acknowledge him.

Wen Li was in a bad mood and didn't care about feelings of good or bad anymore.

Do whatever you want.

Wen Li rarely acted willfully like this.

Just now, in front of Meng Yu and Zhao Yi, she was able to pretend to be nonchalant and maintain her dignity.

After they separated, Wen Li could no longer suppress the restlessness in her chest and the inexplicable grievances she felt.

She wasn't truly indifferent; she still cared.

Wen Li had no interest in dealing with the fish in her hand anymore. She simply threw them onto the well and turned to go into her cave.

Zhu Yan stared blankly as her figure disappeared.

What's wrong with her?
This was the first time in a long time that he had seen Wen Li with such an expression.

I'm both concerned and apprehensive.

Even Zhu Yan didn't know what he was afraid of.

Xin Yuan went back into the cave to arrange the insect-repelling herbs. As soon as he came out of the cave, he saw Zhu Yan staring blankly at Wen Li's cave in a daze.

"Brother, what's wrong? Is Wen Li back?"

Xin Yuan's words pulled Zhu Yan back from her wandering thoughts.

He nodded, his expression somewhat complicated.

"Why do you have that expression?" Xin Yuan asked, puzzled.

Zhu Yan hesitated, then said, "Wen Li... seems angry."

"Angry? Why? Did you make her angry?" Xin Yuan tilted his head.

"It wasn't me, I didn't do anything," Zhu Yan quickly denied. "That's how she is when she comes back."

Zhu Yan didn't want to take the blame for such a huge mistake.

Xin Yuan said, "Really? Then I'll go ask her and bring her the insect repellent herb while I'm at it."

After Xin Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go back into the cave to get the insect-repelling grass to take to Wen Li.

Zhu Yan suddenly grabbed his hand and shook her head, "I advise you not to go now."

Xin Yuan asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"Of course it's because she's in a bad mood right now," Zhu Yan said.

Xin Yuan withdrew his hand. "Then I should go even more."

After saying that, he took the insect-repelling herb and walked towards Wen Li's cave.

Zhu Yan sat down on a small stone chair in the front yard, watching Xin Yuan's figure.

Xin Yuan stopped in front of Wen Li's cave and called out softly, "Wen Li, are you there?"

Wen Li gets annoyed just seeing the two of them, and even more annoyed just hearing their voices.

She lay in bed, turned over, and pretended not to hear.

Xin Yuan waited for a while, but heard no movement. He then tried calling out, "Wen Li, can I come in? I have something to give you."

Wen Li: "Get lost."

Xin Yuan: ? ? ?
