Chapter 77: Jiang Nan-Nan Gets Jealous, Tang Ya is Too Good

"Are you coming down with a cold, Dong'er?" Xiao Xiao asked when she heard Wang Dong'er say her throat hurt. She immediately thought Wang Dong'er might be catching a cold.

Whenever Xiao Xiao had a cold, her throat would also hurt.

"It's not that! Oh, just don't ask so many questions. It's all Qianran's fault." Wang Dong'er was already feeling embarrassed, and Xiao Xiao's questioning made her want to find a hole to hide in.

What would happen if Xiao Xiao figured out what had really happened? She'd probably die of embarrassment.

It was all Qianran's fault, that big pervert!

Thank goodness she took good care of herself, or else who knows how her voice would end up. Once, Qianran had even touched her throat! He really went too far.

"Oh," Xiao Xiao replied with an innocent look. Still, she had a rough idea of what was going on. She understood that it must have been some close activity with Qianran that had caused Dong'er's throat pain.

She sighed inwardly. Even though she was with Qianran, she still felt a lot of pressure.

There were so many people in their class who resented her for being with Qianran. And, since they didn't know Wang Dong'er's true identity, they'd been saying really nasty things about her behind her back. Worst of all, her relationship with Qianran hadn't progressed much further.

Could it be that Qianran thought she was too young, so he wasn't willing to take things further?

"Qianran, that big pervert. And now he has his eyes on Ya-Ya and Nan-Nan too," Wang Dong'er thought, pouting at the thought of soon meeting Tang Ya and Jiang Nan-Nan. She still had no idea when Qianran had gotten involved with Jiang Nan-Nan; it was so unfair.

Jiang Nan-Nan was actually the most beautiful girl in the outer court, and her popularity surpassed even Tang Ya's.

Tang Ya had only recently gained fame after becoming Yan Shaozhe's disciple. But Jiang Nan-Nan was different. She had been popular in the outer court for several years, admired by countless people. If it weren't for Xu Sanshi, many would have pursued Jiang Nan-Nan long ago.

Qianran had tried to approach her once before, and Jiang Nan-Nan's figure was indeed amazing, not to mention her beauty.

If it were the old Tang Ya, she probably wouldn't have been able to compete with Jiang Nan-Nan.

"Right," Xiao Xiao muttered, looking at Qianran with a mix of confusion and disappointment. She'd barely had Qianran to herself for a week before Wang Dong'er showed up, and then Tang Ya and Jiang Nan-Nan followed. She hadn't even had a chance to enjoy time alone with him, and he was already being pulled away.

This made Xiao Xiao feel inadequate, blaming herself for not being able to hold onto Qianran.

If she couldn't keep Qianran to herself, he might eventually be taken away for good.

"Ahem…"

In response to the topic at hand, Qianran could only force an awkward smile, not daring to say a word.

If he continued with this conversation, he'd only be digging a deeper hole for himself.

When Wang Dong'er saw that Qianran was silent, she snorted lightly but didn't press any further.

When they arrived at Qianran's villa, both girls' eyes lit up.

"Such a big villa! All of this is yours?" Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao gasped. They'd assumed Qianran had only bought a small place, but this was huge—almost like a grand estate.

"Yes," Qianran replied.

"The villa isn't that big; even the lawn outside is ours. We could expand it if we need more space," he said with a nod. Finding such a large property near Shrek Academy had been quite a feat by Zhang Lexuan. It could easily be considered a top-tier property in the school district.

However, all of Shrek City's land belonged to Shrek Academy.

Still, in this world, nobody was flipping properties. Even though Shrek City was large by Douluo Continent standards, it was incomparable to the cities from his past life. Douluo Continent wasn't industrialized, and there weren't many job opportunities in the city for ordinary people, so its population was only around two to three million.

"So, we can live here from now on?" the girls asked, their eyes lighting up. How comfortable it would be to live in such a big house!

"Of course, it's all for you to live in," Qianran said with a smile. After all, he hadn't bought the villa for entirely pure reasons.

With this place, he could be with Senior Tang Ya without restraint.

Aside from the living room and kitchen, the villa had a pool, a library, and a vast lawn… it offered all kinds of possibilities.

Most importantly, he was the only resident in this area, so even if they were on the lawn, no one would see them.

"Jie-jie-jie..."

Ya-Ya, Nan-Nan…

As for Dong'er, he couldn't do anything about her yet. And with Xiao Xiao, he simply didn't have the heart. Unless Xiao Xiao initiated, he really couldn't bring himself to make a move. Even when he kissed her a bit too hard, he worried about breaking her bones, let alone doing anything else.

The moment the door opened, Dong'er and Xiao Xiao rushed in to choose their rooms.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nan-Nan arrived shortly afterward, probably intentionally delayed to avoid an awkward encounter with Dong'er and Xiao Xiao.

The two girls were still in their school uniforms, having just come from class. But there was a particular charm to seeing Senior Tang Ya in her uniform, and Qianran thought schoolgirls in uniform were especially attractive.

"Qianran, how did you afford such a large place? You're really wealthy."

Tang Ya and Jiang Nan-Nan were stunned by his extravagant purchase.

Tang Ya dreamed of reviving the Tang Sect, yet their base was just a loan from Shrek Academy. Jiang Nan-Nan had even less; if she had money, she wouldn't have had to submit to the Xuanshui Sect.

"It's all for you. No more sneaking into hotels," Qianran said, pulling Tang Ya into a hug. Only Ya-Ya could satisfy his cravings at the moment.

"Mmm."

"Hotels are busy and unsafe."

Tang Ya's cheeks flushed, but she understood his point.

If she could avoid hotels, she'd rather not go there. The thought of sharing a bed with Qianran that others had also used made her uncomfortable. This new environment made her very happy.

"You're not thinking of trying out those things you mentioned, are you?" Tang Ya suddenly remembered things Qianran had talked about. If they were still at school, she would absolutely refuse. No matter how much she loved Qianran, she would never agree to be intimate outside of the school. If someone saw, she'd be mortified.

But in the villa, if Qianran really wanted to, she might not refuse.

As long as they were careful, there was no need to worry about being seen.

In a place this big, even if someone looked inside, they wouldn't see anything.

"Are you two planning to start right here?" Jiang Nan-Nan said with a pout. Seeing Tang Ya snuggled against Qianran, she couldn't help feeling jealous.

Her usually upright, reserved friend turned into someone completely different in Qianran's arms.

Was this really the pure and modest Tang Ya she knew, who used to brush off men so coldly? Every time Jiang Nan-Nan saw Tang Ya behave this way, she couldn't help but be amazed. Then again, wasn't she the same?
