Chapter 45
Hua Yun If You Don't Work Harder, You'll Be Ranked at the End of the Year

Upon returning to the Water Palace.

The several women who had gone out had all returned.

Jin Se changed into a pale purple long dress and found a corner to sit in, lazily watching the other women.

Her eyes were sharp.

When Xiao Bai entered today, she looked at Xiao Qing with a guilty conscience.

Jin Se saw this glance and was immediately amazed by Ao Qing.

When Ao Qing entered.

She secretly leaned over, nudged Ao Qing with her arm, and teased:

"Sister flowers, huh."

Ao Qing glanced at Xiao Qing, then at Xiao Bai, who was full of guilt, and whispered:

"Xiao Bai is thin-skinned, you can't tease her about this."

Jin Se glared at Ao Qing, snorted, and gracefully returned to her seat.

Xiao Qing was quite curious about her sister's state today.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Hua Yun, who was sitting nearby, glanced at Xiao Bai and immediately smiled.

Her man was amazing!

He could even bring back such a gentle and soft lady.

Xiao Bai stiffened at the sudden question.

She had been very happy playing with Ao Qing.

But now that she calmed down.

She realized she had done something unbelievable.

Competing with her own sister for a man.

In a storybook, wouldn't she be condemned by everyone?

Xiao Bai's face became even paler. It had been a smooth, rosy white, but now it turned into an awkward paleness.

Seeing this, Xiao Qing became suspicious, moved her small stool closer to Xiao Bai, and sniffed lightly with her little nose.

Immediately, she smelled a familiar scent.

Xiao Qing stood up abruptly, staring angrily at Ao Qing.

"When did you...?"

Before Ao Qing could speak, Xiao Bai reached out to pull Xiao Qing.

"Actually, it's me..."

Xiao Qing immediately turned to look at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai was both guilty and nervous, and she didn't even dare to look up.

So, Xiao Qing turned to Ao Qing again, her emerald eyes narrowed.

"Come here and explain!"

Then, she walked towards the back of the hall.

Ao Qing didn't follow immediately. He first kissed Hua Yun on the forehead and then hugged Xia Gu.

He walked over to Xiao Bai, softly comforting her and promising to solve the issue, which eased Xiao Bai's mood a bit before he walked towards the back of the hall.

Jin Se, who was watching the drama unfold, laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up. The neckline of her pale purple dress was slightly open, revealing her alluring snow-white skin.

Ao Qing gave Jin Se a pat-on-the-bottom gesture, went around the screen, and walked towards the back.

As soon as Ao Qing left, Hua Yun moved to Xiao Qing's position and took Xiao Bai's hand.

"It's okay, we are all the same now."

"Besides, we are actually quite envious of you."

She leaned close to Xiao Bai's ear and whispered something.

Xiao Bai's face visibly turned red.

Sisters, sharing a husband...

Could she even listen to this?

Jin Se fanned the flames from the side. Her chest was too big, and after sitting for a while, she started complaining that it was uncomfortable. She lay on the table and watched Hua Yun comfort Xiao Bai.

"I remember that the Lord of Dongting has another daughter.

"Hua Yun, do you want to try the sisterly way?"

She winked at Hua Yun, a suggestive smile on her lips.

But Hua Yun didn't care about that. She swept her loose hair behind her ear and smiled.

"I've been looking forward to it. Next time I go back to Dongting, I'll tell my father."

"Speaking of which, there are many who have proposed to my sister, but I think none of them are suitable."

Jin Se lay on the table, her snow-white skin was almost squeezed into a pancake, spilling out.

"Really? So, are you going to introduce Ao Qing to your sister?"

Hua Yun was straightforward.

"Why not? My husband is better than those who just eat and wait to die, except for the fact that he has many women.

"As for the women, hasn't the month of rotation not finished yet?"

Before Jin Se could say anything, Xiao Bai interrupted their chat, blushing.

"Why aren't there any sounds from my husband and Xiao Qing?"

Jin Se pricked up her ears, but couldn't hear anything either, and she became curious.

"Where did they go? I'll go take a look."

Xiao Bai, blushing, got up to follow.

"My husband is talking about something serious. I'll stop her and prevent her from disturbing my husband."

Hua Yun also got up. Looking at the two disappear, she didn't turn back, and suddenly smiled.

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

On the other side of the dining table.

Xia Gu smoothed out the wrinkles on her skirt and chuckled.

"Do you not trust me, or do you not trust my husband?"

Hua Yun stretched out her arms energetically.

"Then you have to hurry."

"Don't let us meet the same husband, but I'm in the beginning of the month.

She turned her head and winked at Xia Gu.

"You'll be in the end of the year."

The end of the year?

Xia Gu suddenly got angry, reaching out to pull on Hua Yun's mouth.

"You little rascal, tell me, what do you mean by the end of the year?"

Hua Yun turned and ran, looking back and laughing.

"I said it wrong, you're ranked at the end of December, okay."

The two were playing around and suddenly bumped into Xiao Bai, who returned with a flushed face.

Jin Se followed behind Xiao Bai, constantly rubbing her eyes and mumbling.

"My eyes are burning, my eyes are burning! I'm not clean anymore!"

After a while, she asked a question.

"It doesn't have to be on the bed, does it?"

Hua Yun had already guessed what they saw, and she glanced triumphantly at Xia Gu.

"Alright, alright, I'll ask the maids to warm up the food."

About half an hour later.

Ao Qing, holding Xiao Qing's hand, returned to the dining room.

Now it was Xiao Bai's turn to smile playfully, while Xiao Qing blushed and lowered her head.

Ao Qing tapped on the table and began to announce the news of their trip to Luoshahai City and the construction of a new residence.
