Fei Yun looked at the wooden bucket Su Mo was carrying and, naive as he was, he understood.

Apparently, that Fox Beastman had been lying to him.

The Clan Leader’s wife had been right. All of Su Mo’s fiancés were cunning, especially this fox.

Su Mo, of course, had no idea what was going through Fei Yun’s mind. All she saw was an innocent-looking Little Wolf Man, gazing at her with wide, starry eyes.

That innocent yet fervent gaze made even her, a veteran reader of steamy novels, feel a little shy.

’A Little Wolf Man his age is just like a sweet, innocent college boy~ That youthful energy he has is so alluring~ No wonder the ladies all love his type~ Standing in front of him, I feel ten years younger in an instant.’

Yue Ying, who had followed them, stopped dead in his tracks. ’Sweet, innocent college boy’? What the hell was that?

Was his wife praising this shameless Little Wolf Man for being young?!

Did that mean he was old?

Yue Ying glared unhappily at the Little Wolf Man’s back, but his expression quickly changed. He strode over, took the paper from Fei Yun’s hand, and presented it to Su Mo.

He said softly, his eyes crinkling, "He’s here to consult with you about this prescription. Take a look, wife."

Fei Yun quickly chimed in, "Yes~ The Fox Immortal Lord told me earlier that Sister Mo had gone to gather wild vegetables. I was thinking I’d have to come back this evening."

Seeing Fei Yun’s innocent expression, Su Mo instinctively glanced at the fox.

’He knew perfectly well I went to do the laundry. What’s with the deliberate deception? He really is a scheming fox! How could he have the heart to trick such an innocent Little Wolf Man?’

Yue Ying: "!!!"

An innocent Little Wolf Man?

What kind of innocent Beastman runs into someone’s home to seduce their wife?! A Little Wolf Man like Fei Yun might be able to fool his wife, but if he thought he could fool this fox, he was far too inexperienced for that.

"Please, Sister Mo, could you take a look? I don’t quite understand these two medicines on the list..."

"Sure."

Su Mo took the prescription and explained it, and Fei Yun listened with intense concentration.

He then asked several questions about pharmacology. Judging by his questions, Su Mo could tell he was genuinely serious about learning medicine.

So she patiently explained everything to him in detail.

Fei Yun glanced at her gratefully and said shyly, "Thank you, Sister Mo. If I have more questions next time, can I come to you again?"

"Of course."

"Thank you, Sister Mo."

Fei Yun’s face was slightly flushed. He gave Su Mo a bashful glance, and two wolf ears popped out uncontrollably. They were utterly adorable.

Su Mo’s eyes lit up the moment she saw his ears suddenly appear.

’Wow~ The Little Wolf Man’s ears look so soft~ I really want to pet them!!!’

Yue Ying gritted his teeth and glared at the Little Wolf Man, who was clearly struggling to control his feelings, warning him with his eyes to retract his ears immediately.

Beastmen who have just come of age can’t easily control their inner passions and desires. The slightest emotional stir could cause parts of their true form to emerge.

This damn Little Wolf Man! How dare he reveal his ears right in front of me, her fiancé?!

Fei Yun froze, then quickly made his ears disappear.

He inwardly cursed himself for being so careless. The Fox Immortal Lord was notoriously perceptive and cunning; how could he have revealed his feelings right in front of him?

Now, he would likely be even more guarded against him in the future.

This wasn’t good for him.

Su Mo was staring at where his ears had been, puzzled.

’Why did they just disappear like that? They were so cute when they were out!’

Yue Ying still wore a smile, but his tone was laced with impatience. "Is there anything else?"

He was clearly trying to get rid of him.

Fei Yun reacted immediately, looking at Su Mo and smiling. "I’ve heard that Sister Mo is a great cook. I’d love to ask for your advice on making spare ribs."

Su Mo smiled and patiently explained the steps.

’What a sweet kid! He’s clearly prime Beast Husband material! Too bad my current engagements aren’t resolved yet, otherwise...’

Yue Ying, standing to the side, clenched his fists as anger flared within him.

This is what she calls prime Beast Husband material?

He worked hard every day too! How come his wife never praised him!

This woman’s double standards were unbelievable.

Seeing that the scheming Little Wolf Man still showed no signs of leaving, Yue Ying spoke up again. "Aren’t you studying under Huang Ming? He just took over as Witch Doctor, so I imagine he’s very busy. Shouldn’t you be over there helping him?"

Fei Yun smiled, his demeanor perfectly obedient and polite. "I’ll head over right now. Goodbye, Fox Immortal Lord. Goodbye, Sister Mo."

Su Mo watched him leave, a smile in her eyes. "Goodbye."

An image from the party suddenly surfaced in her mind: the Little Wolf Man, dancing.

’I never would have thought the Wolf Beastman who could dance like that is such an innocent little sweetie~ Who else can appreciate this kind of contrast?!’

Yue Ying seethed, grinding his teeth. That Little Wolf Man’s schemes were written all over his face. What part of him was innocent?

In his eyes, he was obviously a shameless flirt—and he had the nerve to do it right in front of him, her fiancé!

No, this couldn’t go on. His position was really in jeopardy! He had to do something!

Fei Yan and Mo Xiao didn’t return for lunch. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, but they were tied up with other matters and couldn’t get away.

The two Little Dragons had gone out in the morning and still hadn’t returned.

This gave Yue Ying a perfect opportunity.

After eating, Su Mo was yawning and just about to go take a nap when she heard Yue Ying call out to her.

"Wife, you promised me this morning that you would grant me one request. You can’t go back on your word, you know~"

Su Mo was startled and looked at him warily. "What do you want?"

"Don’t be nervous. I just want to ask you for a small favor~"

Although the fox wore an innocent smile, Su Mo felt that his bright eyes concealed endless calculations.

"What favor?"

"I haven’t been feeling well these past two days. I’d like you to take a look at me."

"That’s it?"

"Mhm. You find the cause of my illness and prescribe the right medicine, and then we’re even."

Su Mo: "..."

’This should be easy. Judging by his complexion, he doesn’t look sick at all. I’ll just prescribe something for him and get it over with.’

With that thought, she happily agreed.

"Hold out your hand. Let me take a look."

Yue Ying’s narrow, fox-like eyes crinkled into a smile. "Let’s go to my room. I’m feeling a bit faint. You can check me over properly once I’m sitting down."

"..."

’Going to his room just for a check-up? So dramatic! He’s not planning on trying anything funny, is he?!’

Yue Ying’s brow furrowed, and he asked in a sincere tone, "I just want you to diagnose an illness. Doesn’t my wife trust me even that much? Or... are you the one who’s flustered? Did you think, wife, that I wanted to...?"

Su Mo frowned and interrupted, "I wasn’t thinking anything! Don’t talk nonsense!"

’This arrogant, damn fox probably thinks he’s too good for someone like me anyway. What the hell do I have to be flustered about! Hehe, this is the perfect chance to give him a little scare. Maybe I can even manage to scare this cunning fox away for good!’

Yue Ying turned, a faint smirk playing on his lips.

She was always calling him a cunning fox. But when it came to cunning, who could possibly outsmart his very own wife?

Little thing. She was so delightfully wicked, he couldn’t get enough of her.

What was he to do? With a wife this interesting, he had no intention of handing her over to anyone else.
