eryone about how he hadn’t saved Chu Zhongtian, despite being given the chance to.
There was no way to stop such news from spreading at all.

“Does Sang Hong know about the two of us?” Zu An asked suddenly.

Zheng Dan’s face turned red.
“Of course not.
If he does, he would kill me on the spot.
Why would he send me here to negotiate with you?”

Zu An wasn’t happy.
“You haven’t even formally married his son yet.
He doesn’t have the authority to do that.”

Zheng Dan rolled her eyes.
She didn’t bother to reply.

Zu An was aware that the weddings of this world were different from those of his modern era.
As such, he asked her further, “What are your thoughts on this matter?”

There was a slight hesitation, but Zheng Dan still said, “Since the two of us are already so close, I won’t hide anything from you.
Regardless of whether Sang Qian and I get married, I still feel a sense of guilt for what has developed between us, and I want to make it up to him.
At the same time, if this agreement goes ahead, the Zheng clan will benefit immeasurably as well.
That is why I really hope that you can help me save him.”

After a pause, she smiled and said to him, “Of course, if you can make the Sang clan and the Zheng clan agree to me marrying you instead, then I wouldn’t have to feel so conflicted over Sang Qian.”

Zu An was speechless.
“You know that that’s impossible.
I have no problems with taking you in as my wife, but are you willing to elope with me?”

Zheng Dan sighed.
“You know that I bear the hopes of my clan on my shoulders.
How can I turn my back on them?”

Zu An gave this matter some thought, and finally said, “It’s not impossible to save him, but when I think about how he will marry you as soon as he recovers… Wouldn’t I be the one who gets cuckolded? No way!”

Zheng Dan’s face turned red.
“You are clearly the one who made him a cuckold…”

Zu An sniffed dismissively.
“Whatever.
I won’t agree to this.”

Zheng Dan hesitated for a moment, then said quietly, “Actually, there might be a way out.
He was injured so badly, after all.
If something happens to him and he can’t… It would be completely normal…”

Zu An gasped.
“You’re terribly ruthless!”

Zheng Dan’s eyes reddened.
“I was thinking for your sake, all right? Why am I the ruthless one here? Do you think that I don’t want a normal husband? If there is no way for me to marry you…”

She began to sob towards the end.
Zu An immediately helped her to wipe away her tears.
“I misspoke.
That really does solve my dilemma.
I can’t be a prostitute and still demand a virgin spouse.”

Fortunately, the two of them were already close to the staff residences, so there weren’t any students around them.
Otherwise, rumors would have already begun to spread like wildfire.

Zheng Dan giggled when she heard what he said.
Her face reddened as she said, “Pah! If you’re a prostitute, then what am I?”

“You are my…” Zu An whispered a word in her ear.

Zheng Dan’s neck instantly flushed red, and her body went limp.

Zu An used this chance to pick her up and walk into his residence.
They were soon wrapped around each other.

“So, do you agree?” Zheng Dan pressed against his chest and said while biting her lip.

Zu An’s expression grew gloomy.
“Can we not talk about this now? You’re making me look like a villain! It’s almost as if you are consenting to what we’re doing only because you want to save your lover.”

Zheng Dan rolled her eyes.
“Didn’t you love playing these types of games with me before?”

Zu An felt blood rush to his head.
He immediately got into character.
“Heh, heh, heh, whether or not I’ll agree to your demands will depend on your performance!”

Zheng Dan immediately put on a delicate and pitiful appearance.
“Please! Please spare him! I’ll agree to anything you say!”

Zu An whistled in admiration.
This woman was a born actress! How could he possibly hold himself back anymore? He immediately began to ‘tackle’ this question of whether he was going to save Sang Qian or not.

Either way, Sang Hong was blackmailing them with Chu Zhongtian’s life, so this was righteous revenge.
