Chapter 663: Chapter 665 Xu Huilin’s Difference towards Du Fuling

The two fought for half a day, ultimately ending with Xu Huilin’s victory. Bai Ruozhu’s neck ached from watching. Initially, she was just there for the excitement, but eventually, she didn’t understand what was happening at all.

Xu Huilin’s face didn’t look good, probably because he found it embarrassing to have fought so long with a young girl. Despite losing the match, Tu Ying didn’t seem discouraged. She even generously bowed to Xu Huilin, "Second Master’s martial arts skills are truly impressive. I admire them."

Du Fuling hurriedly went over, acting extremely defensive toward Tu Ying, saying: "Of course, Master Xu is strong. You were never his match."

Xu Huilin gave Du Fuling an irritated side glance before also bowing to Tu Ying, "Miss Tu’s martial arts skills are strong. I concede defeat."

Xiaosi, struck by the mesmerizing duel, said to Tu Ying: "Sister Tu, I never knew your martial arts skills were so remarkable. Can you teach me when you have time?"

Tu Ying gave him a bright smile, "Sure, since you’re calling me sister, I have to teach you."

Bai Ruozhu thought about her second brother’s avoidance of Tu Ying and wondered if she should remind Xiaosi not to invite Tu Ying home. But she dismissed the thought quickly. Although Tu Ying couldn’t become her sister-in-law, she was a nice person and Bai Ruozhu didn’t want to lose this friend.

Seeing that the matter was finally settled, Jiang Yichun said cheerfully: "Let’s return now if there’s nothing else."

Bai Ruozhu knew what he was thinking and her face flushed slightly. She shot him a glance.

"Why are you leaving so early? I’ll treat you to a meal!" Tu Ying proposed generously.

Jiang Yichun sternly refused, "No, I have other matters."

Stumped by his blunt refusal, Tu Ying’s face reddened slightly. Bai Ruozhu quickly gave Jiang Yichun a reproachful look, saying, "We do not have other plans, it’s just that my Hot Spring Beauty Manor opens tomorrow, and I was thinking of inspecting it one more time."

Understandably, Tu Ying nodded, "Well then, I’ll treat you another day to not delay your important business."

"How about this? Everyone comes and visits my manor tomorrow. Consider yourselves my first batch of customers. Please give me feedback on the place and we can have the meal there." Bai Ruozhu suggested after pondering for a moment.

Jiang Yichun’s face immediately fell. Why was having a blissful time alone with his wife so difficult? Considering that there were no people at the manor in the past, he didn’t dare to fool around earlier. This prospect was already driving him insane, especially since she had already given birth to his child yet he was still feeling shy about it. With a flurry of attendants in the manor now and business set to start tomorrow, it made more sense to spend time together earlier, thinking about the future made it even harder.

Bai Ruozhu could read his displeasure and remarked after some thought, "It’s okay, since business starts early tomorrow, I will just stay over tonight."

Jiang Yichun instantly perked up again. He liked the idea of a quiet evening alone....

Fully supportive of her decision, the others agreed. Bai Ruozhu gave Xu Huilin a smile, telling him: "You’re in luck today, Master Xu. The place doesn’t accept male guests. After today, you won’t have the chance to come anymore."

She only chatted with Xu Huilin out of courtesy for Jiang Yichun. After all, she couldn’t ignore Jiang Yichun’s senior, right? But Du Fuling wasn’t pleased. Seeing this as a sign of Bai Ruozhu’s lingering admiration for her "rescuer", she gave Bai Ruozhu a glare: "You already have a man — why are you still thinking about Master Xu? Aren’t you embarrassed?"

Before Bai Ruozhu could retort, Jiang Yichun snapped at Du Fuling, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "What are you? Get lost!"

"You...you..." Du Fuling’s face reddened with anger, pointing her finger at Jiang Yichun about to hurl insults when he swept her away with a wave of his sleeve.

"Disturbing my woman is not something you can do! Such total ignorance." Jiang Yichun hissed through gritted teeth.

Seeing her man be so ruthless with the woman desiring him pleased Bai Ruozhu, especially if Du Fuling knew the truth behind her infatuation with the ’rescuer’. Would she be able to handle such a revelation?

"Are you leaving or not?" Jiang Yichun yelled at Du Fuling, who remained motionless out of shock.

Xu Huilin stepped in, "Brother, there’s no need to waste words on that brainless woman. Let’s go."

Du Fuling was dumbfounded. She fell to the ground, albeit without internal injuries, but her body ached from the impact.

Thoughts swirled painfully in Bai Ruozhu’s head. Xu Huillin did criticize Du Fuling for being brainless, but his actions were clearly helping her, as if afraid Jiang Yichun would lose control.

A strange thought took root in Bai Ruozhu’s mind. Xu Huilin was excessively tolerant towards Du Fuling. With his abilities, he could easily distance himself from Du Fuling. Why allow her to continue her pursuit?

Could it be, was he interested in Du Fuling? Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but curl her lips. She did not realize that Xu Huilin had such questionable taste.

Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu exchanged looks, each realizing they were thinking the same thing. They resolved to find an opportunity to pry the truth out of Xu Huilin.

Leaving Du Fuling behind, they depart for the Hot Spring Manor. Xu Huilin, seeing Jiang Yichun getting into the horse carriage with the baby, couldn’t resist teasing him a bit before he rode off with Tu Ying.

"He and Tu Ying seem well-matched. They look good together." Jiang Yichun commented, watching their retreating figures.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn’t you notice that Tu Ying likes my second brother?" Bai Ruozhu hastily countered. She knew her second brother was determined and it wasn’t possible for Tu Ying to become her sister-in-law, but the thought of entrusting her to someone else didn’t sit well with her.

"So what? Your second brother isn’t willing." Jiang Yichun muttered quietly, soothing the baby Dengdeng. Xiaosi played with Dengdeng’s little hand as if he hadn’t heard a thing.

A thought suddenly hit Bai Ruozhu, recalling what Wa San had accidentally heard. Perhaps, Xu Huilin was indeed interested in a woman of Tu Ying’s background?

She couldn’t help but share this with Jiang Yichun. Xiaosi, listening to the side, seemed a bit upset. He clearly admired the Second Master very much.

Jiang Yichun laughed, shaking his head. "Sister, you are overthinking. Senior Fox is not as bad as you think. He is just helpless; his situation is not simple. With a princess eyeing him, if he chose an ordinary woman, he would not able to protect his wife."

He lowered his voice, "You should know that the eldest son there is still unmarried with no heirs. There are plenty of opportunities for them to meddle in the household."
