Chapter 152 - It's Not What You Think

“My 'thing'... you all know about it?!”

Don't tell me Zhou Yan and the other one have already discovered my identity as the Demon Sovereign?!

Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai nodded solemnly, giving an affirmative answer.

Seeing this, Lin Fan let out a helpless sigh.

As expected. In the end, I couldn't hide it…

“I didn't mean to hide it from you.”

“You know that if my situation were revealed, it would cause a lot of trouble.”

Zhou Yan slammed a fist on the table, looked up, and stared at Lin Fan indignantly.

“Brother, as a man, I can understand you. But that is absolutely not an excuse!”

Lin Fan hadn't expected Zhou Yan to be so angry about him hiding his identity as the Demon Sovereign, and he offered a guilty apology.

Zhou Yan let out a long breath, trying to calm the anger in his heart.

“The person you should be apologizing to isn't us. It's sister-in-law!”

Lin Fan was taken aback, his face full of confusion.

How did Long Yue suddenly get dragged into this?

Could it be that they still don't know Long Yue's identity as the Empress, and they think she doesn't know his identity either, and that he's been hiding it from her as well?

While Lin Fan was speculating, Zhou Yan asked in a deep voice:

“Lin Fan, you should know better than either of us what kind of person sister-in-law is, right?”

Hearing this, Lin Fan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

It seems... they've even guessed Long Yue's identity…

Are they waiting for me to admit it myself?

Seeing Lin Fan fall silent, his expression gradually growing unnatural, Zhou Yan showed an 'I-knew-it' expression.

“What, you can't bring yourself to say it?”

Seeing that the matter could no longer be hidden, Lin Fan decided to stop hiding it and said frankly:

“Your sister-in-law... she's a celestial maiden…”

The moment he spoke, Zhou Yan shot up from his seat, filled with righteous indignation.

“That's right! Sister-in-law is as beautiful as a fairy from heaven! Her aura is wonderful, she's gentle and virtuous! What man in the world wouldn't be moved by her!”

“A woman this good is one in a million, and you! You actually don't know how to cherish her, and you do something to wrong her !”

“Tell me, in what way has sister-in-law ever wronged you?!”

Lin Fan was completely baffled, sitting there in a daze.

Wait, how did things suddenly get so confusing...

What did I do? How did I wrong Yue'er?

“Yanzi, wait, wait, wait…”

Lin Fan quickly raised a hand to cut Zhou Yan off.

From his words, it seemed he didn't know Long Yue's identity as the Empress, and the situation wasn't what he thought.

I feel like there's some kind of misunderstanding between us…

“Yanzi, what do you mean, I did something to wrong Yue'er?”

“Don't you know what you've done better than we do?”

“And you're still not going to admit it, even now?”

Zhou Yan calmed down a little and sat back down, his arms crossed, still looking irritated.

Lin Fan's brow furrowed, his expression growing even more puzzled.

He really had no idea…

“Brother Fan, let's be honest. Did you cheat on sister-in-law?”

Lu Zhai's expression was grave as he got straight to the point.

Lin Fan was taken aback, then couldn't help but let out a frustrated laugh.

“You guys know me. The thing I hate most is cheating. How could I possibly do something like that myself?”

Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai said in unison, without a moment's hesitation.

Lin Fan stared at them speechlessly.

“What kind of person do you two really think I am…”

“Brother Fan, don't blame us for not believing you. We both saw you cheating on sister-in-law with our own eyes!”

“Hmm? What did you see?”

“You're still not going to admit it, even now…!”

Seeing Lin Fan still acting all baffled and innocent, Zhou Yan's anger flared up.

“This is when you should act like a man, take responsibility for your actions, admit it frankly, and try to make amends!”

“That's what a man should do!”

Lin Fan: “…” Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel·fıre·net

Lin Fan was so lectured he was speechless.

To this moment, he still had no idea what the two of them were talking about…

“Brother Fan, Yanzi and I both saw it. You and that maid of yours... you came out of a hotel together.”

Lu Zhai no longer beat around the bush and told him plainly.

“So that's what this is about…”

Lin Fan had a flash of realization and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It turned out that when Yingnü had asked him to meet at the love hotel to report her mission, they had been accidentally seen by Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai.

Seeing how serious the two of them were at first, he had thought his identity as the Demon Sovereign had been exposed. But it turned out to be just a misunderstanding…

Seeing Lin Fan's nonchalant smile, as if it had nothing to do with him, Zhou Yan couldn't help but slam his hand on the table again in anger.

“You're still smiling! This is a very serious matter!”

“If sister-in-law finds out about this, how are you going to explain yourself to her?!”

“Yanzi, Ah Zhai, don't worry. It's not what you think.”

Lin Fan leisurely picked up the coffee on the table, stirred it unhurriedly, and then took a relaxed sip.

Now that he knew Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai hadn't found out about his identity, the great stone hanging in his heart was finally set down, and he felt much more at ease.

“It's not what we think? Then what is it?”

Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai frowned, waiting for his explanation.

Lin Fan slowly put down his coffee. “My meeting with Yingnü at the hotel was just to discuss some business.”

Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai narrowed their eyes, giving him a look that clearly said, 'Do we look like we believe you?'

A man and a woman secretly getting a room at a love hotel to 'discuss business'?

Hmph! We're all adults here. You have to say something believable!

“If you don't want to admit it, fine. As your brother, I'll just assume you had a moment of confusion and couldn't hold back…”

“But from now on, you absolutely cannot do anything else to wrong sister-in-law! Fulfill the duties that a man should fulfill!”

Zhou Yan's expression was grave as he stared intently at Lin Fan.

It's very normal for men to like women. As long as you haven't found a partner and confirmed a relationship, he felt it was fine to have ambiguous relationships with other women. He would even take Lin Fan to a foot massage parlor without a second thought and get him the best service!

But! Once you have a girlfriend and have confirmed the relationship, the nature of things is completely different!

Once a man has a wife, he can no longer be fickle! He has to have a sense of responsibility!

“Yanzi, I really didn't…”

Lin Fan was just about to explain further when his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that the screen showed an incoming call from Long Yue.

The moment Lin Fan answered the phone, Long Yue's stern voice came from the other end:

“Where are you? Come back immediately! This Empress has something to ask you!”
