Chapter 71 Jiang Nannan's Jealousy.
The next day, in the morning.
Deng Mu slowly woke up from his bed, looking at Tang Ya, who was still fast asleep beside him. A happy smile graced her face, as if she were having a sweet dream.
Looking at Tang Ya, Deng Mu couldn't help but recall the events of the previous night.
Passionate kisses, intimate embraces...
Deng Mu quietly got up, not wanting to wake Tang Ya, and quickly tidied his clothes.
Looking at the morning light streaming through the window, he knew a new day had begun, and their relationship had undergone a significant change the previous night, becoming true lovers.
It was Tang Ya's words the previous night that left him somewhat amused and exasperated—allowing him to marry several wives.
At the time, Tang Ya had said earnestly that in the Douluo Continent, it was common for capable men to have three wives and four concubines; she only needed to occupy the most important place in Deng Mu's heart, and she added that if he met a girl he truly liked in the future, he shouldn't miss out because of her.
He truly couldn't understand Tang Ya's thought process, that she would say such a thing at a time like that.
"Hmm..."
Tang Ya let out a soft groan and slowly opened her eyes.
Looking sleepily at Deng Mu, who had already gotten up, she was initially startled, then remembered everything that had happened last night, and Tang Ya's cheeks instantly flushed red.
She felt both shy and happy; shy because she had been so proactive and passionate last night, and now felt embarrassed thinking about it; happy because Deng Mu had accepted her feelings, and they were now lovers.
Deng Mu came to Tang Ya, stroking her head and saying, "Sister Ya, get up quickly, if my sister sees you, she'll definitely tease you endlessly."
Tang Ya's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "Yes, if Jiang Nannan sees me like this, just woken up and still in the same room with Deng Mu, I'll definitely be teased endlessly."
She didn't want to be teased until she blushed and lost face. Although she and Deng Mu had officially become a couple, she was still shy.
Tang Ya quickly replied, "Okay, Xiao Mu, you can go out for a bit. I'll get up and get ready."
As she spoke, she pulled the blanket up to cover her flushed face.
Deng Mu smiled and nodded, then turned and left the room.
He'd seen everything he needed to see last night, so what was there to be shy about?
At this moment, Jiang Nannan walked over and smelled a fragrance on Deng Mu.
She recognized the fragrance very well; it was Tang Ya's, which made her a little jealous.
A pang of bitterness welled up in Jiang Nannan's heart. She had always harbored special feelings for Deng Mu, but she had never expressed them.
Originally, seeing Deng Mu and Tang Ya getting along so well, she had only assumed they had a brother-sister relationship.
But now, it was clear that their relationship had changed drastically last night, and Deng Mu still carried Tang Ya's scent. How could she not feel uneasy?
Her little pig had been taken by a cabbage.
She had originally planned to confess her feelings to Deng Mu after he came of age and then be with him.
She didn't mind that Deng Mu had good relationships with other men; it was normal for outstanding people to attract the opposite sex.
However, the fact that their relationship had developed to this point made her feel insecure, worried that her younger brother would abandon her and run off with someone else.
Jiang Nannan secretly bit her lip, trying to keep her expression normal, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Deng Mu.
After a light cough, Jiang Nannan casually said, "Little Mu, you smell like Xiao Ya. Last night you two..."
The words caught in her throat, but she felt it was too direct and swallowed the rest of her sentence.
Upon hearing this, Deng Mu belatedly realized that he might have picked up Tang Ya's scent from their closeness earlier. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he scratched his head and said, "Uh, maybe I accidentally picked it up. Sister Nan Nan, don't overthink it."
Jiang Nan Nan forced a smile, "Oh, is that so? Why would I overthink it? I was just asking casually."
Although she said that, she couldn't suppress the jealousy in her heart. She just hoped Tang Ya would come out quickly; she wanted to see what Tang Ya looked like now.
Seeing this, Deng Mu quickly said to Jiang Nannan, "Sister, let's go downstairs first."
He wanted to get Jiang Nannan away first to avoid being teased when Tang Ya came out. He also noticed that Jiang Nannan seemed a little emotional and wanted her to leave and calm down.
Although Jiang Nannan was reluctant to leave, she couldn't refuse directly, so she snorted and said, "Fine, let's go downstairs then."
With that, she turned around and walked downstairs.
Deng Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced back at his room door, silently praying that Tang Ya would get ready quickly, and then hurriedly followed Jiang Nannan.
Along the way, Jiang Nannan didn't say much, but her expression was not good.
Deng Mu could only try to ease the atmosphere by occasionally bringing up trivial topics, but Jiang Nannan only responded perfunctorily, her jealousy still churning inside.
The two went to the restaurant, and Deng Mu ordered three breakfasts.
Looking at the silent Jiang Nannan, Deng Mu felt a headache coming on, not understanding why she was angry.
Could it be her period?
It seemed like there was no other possibility.
A moment later, Tang Ya finally came downstairs to the restaurant.
She had carefully tidied herself up, trying to appear normal, but her slightly flushed cheeks betrayed her.
Jiang Nannan glanced at Tang Ya's appearance, her jealousy intensifying, but she still tried to maintain a calm facade.
"Xiao Ya, you got up a little late today," Jiang Nannan said softly, her words carrying a subtle, unspoken meaning.
Tang Ya's heart tightened, and she gave a dry laugh. "I didn't sleep well last night, Nan Nan. You seem to be in a bad mood today."
Jiang Nan Nan snorted softly, "No, maybe I just didn't rest well last night."
As she spoke, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept towards Deng Mu.
Deng Mu, feeling uncomfortable under Jiang Nan Nan's gaze, didn't know what to say.
He was a little puzzled; how did a transmigrator who built a harem handle this situation?
"Alright, alright, sisters, let's have breakfast first," Deng Mu said to Jiang Nan Nan and Tang Ya after thinking for a moment.
Now they could only wait for Jiang Nan Nan to calm down; any explanation from the two of them would probably only add fuel to the fire.
Breakfast was eaten in silence, with only the occasional soft clinking of cutlery.
Tang Ya secretly glanced at Jiang Nan Nan a few times, wanting to break the silence but not knowing where to begin.
Jiang Nan Nan ate by herself, her expression indifferent.
After breakfast, the three of them boarded a carriage and headed to the North City.
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere remained heavy and oppressive.
Deng Mu sat on one side, while Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan sat opposite him, both looking out the car window to avoid eye contact.
