Chapter 73: Chapter 63: The Male Slanderer Has Confessed (2)

It was only now that she felt the harrowing ordeal was finally over, and she could stop and take a proper rest.

But unlike before, when Yu Lan would return home alone, this time she was followed by two shameless, thick-skinned males.

The place they had once avoided like the plague, a place they wouldn’t have dared set foot in, had now become the land of their dreams, something they longed for day and night.

Without the beautiful female’s permission,

the two males stood pitifully at the door, not daring to step a single inch inside.

Molten golden eyes and emerald-green eyes stared at her pitifully.

"Lanlan, may we come in?"

The male’s tone held a thread of caution.

If Yu Lan said no, they would obediently stay at the door and not enter... As if!

One mustn’t forget that Huo Zhanting had a prior conviction for turning into a Golden Lion and sneaking into the villa.

The minds of the two males were racing with schemes. If Yu Lan refused, they would just transform into their beast forms to entice her.

They had already discovered that Lanlan seemed to have no resistance to fluffy things.

She was simply the chosen Female Master.

Yu Lan glared with her beautiful eyes at the two men pretending to be pitiful. But then her thoughts turned to all they had done for her, and she gave a small nod.

"Come in."

"I’ll make you some tea."

A flash of joy appeared in the eyes of both Huo Zhanting and Su Xingye.

The next second, they heard Yu Lan continue:

"But you can’t sleep here."

"After you finish your tea..."

Yu Lan pressed her lips together, not finishing the part about kicking them out.

’I’ve gotten used to living alone. I’m not sure I’d like having other people in the villa.’

"Ah!"

Huo Zhanting and Su Xingye sighed in unison.

’What kind of male wasn’t allowed to live with his beloved female?! Only the most unfavored, abandoned ones were treated this way. They had just agreed to give things a try with Lanlan, and now they were already getting the exiled-consort treatment.’

But the two males could only feel their anger, not speak it.

’Who could they blame? This was all their own fault.’

They stepped cautiously through the doorway and into Yu Lan’s villa.

Their gazes swept rapidly across the villa’s interior.

Relying on their 3S-level talents, the two men with their exceptional memories quickly committed the entire layout of the villa to mind.

The villa now looked completely different from when Yu Lan had first arrived.

The interior had been thoroughly cleaned and tidied. A lovely cloth tablecloth covered the table, several pillows that looked soft to the touch sat on the sofa, and a vase held seasonal fresh flowers.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows as the white gauze curtains fluttered gently. A cool breeze drifted through the room.

The space was bright and clean, radiating a warm and romantic atmosphere.

This was the dream home that all males who drifted and fought out in the world most longed to live in.

The entire villa was filled with traces of Yu Lan’s life.

After dismissing the butler, Yu Lan had started cooking for herself. Huo Zhanting, back when he was an amnesiac Golden Lion clinging to her side, had even had the good fortune of tasting the beautiful female’s cooking.

His gaze quickly swept over the kitchen.

He had already decided his next training goal would be to master cooking.

’The beautiful female’s slender, soft, and smooth hands should be held and cherished.’

’How could she be allowed to cook in the kitchen? What if she accidentally cut her hand?’

Besides,

Huo Zhanting firmly remembered a rule from "One Hundred Rules for a Male to Be Loved by a Female."

It was one of the rules that had been specially marked in red and bold:

’To capture a female’s heart, you must first capture her stomach.’

’That way, even if the female’s love fades, she won’t abandon a male with such excellent cooking skills.’

As they sat on the sofa, a bright glint flashed in the eyes of both males.

Just then, Yu Lan walked out of the kitchen carrying two cups of tea, a hint of apology on her face.

"Sorry, all I have right now is the floral tea that I usually drink."

"I don’t know if it’s to your taste."

"If you don’t like it, I can get you some plain water instead."

’The floral tea that Lanlan likes to drink.’

’We have to taste it, no matter what.’

’If Lanlan likes it, we like it too.’

Hearing this, the two males shook their heads rapidly and hastily reached out to take the tea from Yu Lan’s hands.

"No, no, we love floral tea."

"This is perfect."

"Oh! Is that so?"

A trace of confusion flickered across Yu Lan’s face. She had thought males generally preferred plain tea.
