Chapter 36: Chu Wanning: Am I Allergic to Romance?

The elderly gentleman’s detoxification process went smoothly. Along the way, Chu Wan Ning gave him some century-old ginseng water—no matter the age, one couldn’t be careless; absolute caution was necessary.

What delighted her even more was that she had begun to grasp some ideas about the poison on Lu Siyen.

On their way back, Lu Siyen held Chu Wan Ning tightly.

“Wife, don’t leave me!” His low, husky voice whispered in her ear, causing her to pause.

Since when had Lu Siyen become so clingy?

“I’m already yours. Who would dare compete for you, hmm?” Chu Wan Ning countered.

Lu Siyen pondered seriously for a moment, then with a hint of pride said, “No one!” Who would dare to sever his legs.

“Wife, thank you for what you’ve done for Grandpa and Lu Siqing. Marrying you is the best decision I’ve made in over twenty years.”

Chu Wan Ning’s heart was struck again. Wasn’t his greatest achievement supposed to be the success and fame earned through countless choices? She inwardly scolded herself for being overly sentimental.

“Me too!” she whispered—the most extraordinary experience across two lifetimes.

Their feelings surged uncontrollably, intentions clear once more. Returning home naturally led to an intimate reunion.

...

Meanwhile, after Lu Shaoheng returned home, he made a phone call.

“The old man’s poison has been cleared today!”

“Mm, I confirm it!”

“It’s Lu Siyen’s wife, Chu Wan Ning!”

“Good! Arrange it then!”

After hanging up, the anger on Lu Shaoheng’s face softened somewhat. The Lu family could only be his.

Lu Bofei was utterly useless—failing at small matters repeatedly, dragging himself into trouble, unable to cover his tracks properly. Fortunately, nothing this time implicated him.

With this in mind, Lu Shaoheng grabbed his car keys and went out again.

That night, while some enjoyed peaceful dreams, others trembled in fear.

...

Chu Wan Ning was the last to rise in the household. Her meal wasn’t breakfast but brunch, filling herself well before reaching for her phone to greet her masters. Suddenly, it rang.

“Chu Wan Ning, it’s really not easy to find you. Get back home! You’ve got wings now!” Fang Hongyu’s sharp, biting voice came through, making Chu Wan Ning nearly throw her phone out.

The stepmother, always lurking in the original owner’s memories, felt infuriatingly real now—she wanted to lash out!

Chu Wan Ning hadn’t even found time to seek them out; instead, they had come knocking.

...

Excellent! Since she was free today, she’d return home.

First step: drive them out of the Chu residence, then renovate the house, waiting for her mother’s return.

A place defiled by a mistress—if it weren’t her mother’s dowry, it would have to be destroyed utterly. For now, she’d take a step back.

But since she was going, it had to be grand! If she went alone, it wouldn’t be stimulating enough for those with wolfish hearts.

“Listen, no matter where you are, if you don’t come back today, don’t ever return to this family!” The nagging voice came again.

Chu Wan Ning glanced down at her nails, a mocking smile tugging at her lips. Lazily, she said, “Fine, two hours.”

With that, she hung up decisively, unwilling to waste time on nonsense—it gave her a headache.

Fang Hongyu stared at the ended call, furious almost to suffocation. Her gaze darkened, she snarled, “If you come back, I’ll beat you to death, you little bitch! Just like your mother—worthless! On the way here, you’ll suffer first!”

She immediately made another call, tone flattering, “Remember, don’t kill her. Leave her a breath—I’ll torture her slowly!”

The servants seemed accustomed to this. Though shocked, their expressions remained neutral as they went about cleaning.

Indeed, working here must have toughened their nerves.

Chu Wan Ning went upstairs and changed into a sleek black cheongsam, applied light makeup, and painted her lips with a regal shade of red. Her aura radiated power—both fierce and beautiful.

Spinning in front of the mirror, she praised herself, “Tonight will be another day where Ah Yan tears me apart! Being too beautiful has its troubles!”

Just as she admired herself, her phone rang again.

“Uncle A? I was just about to look for him!” she murmured, quickly answering, “Uncle A!”

“Miss Ning, I sent you a video on your phone. Do you need protection today?” Whether she needed it or not, he would come.

“Perfect timing, Uncle A. Bring some men; wait near the Chu family villa. I’ll be there soon!”

“Understood, Miss Ning. Do you want me to accompany you?”

“No need. They can’t hurt me!”

Old A didn’t argue further and hung up. After all, it was fact. He only needed to follow orders—and since the lady asked him to come, he no longer had to sneak around.

Chu Wan Ning watched the video: the Chu family’s living room, where Fang Hongyu looked surprisingly well.

No wonder—her scumbag father couldn’t satisfy her. Who knew how many she kept on the side?

“Remember, don’t kill her. Leave her a breath—I’ll torture her slowly!”

Those words echoed in Chu Wan Ning’s ears. She sneered coldly, “This stepmother certainly is restless!”

But did this alone constitute a crime? Then she’d send her to prison for reform afterward! Since the evidence was handed to her, why refuse? She was ridding others of harm!

...

But why did Uncle A have this video? Had he been watching the Chu family all along?

Perfect! Just what she wanted—evidence in hand!

Feeling pleased, she went downstairs. No matter what Fang Hongyu had prepared, she wasn’t afraid now—her martial power was fully unleashed, with all sorts of buffs stacked.

Most importantly, she had a husband nicknamed the King of Hell!

Chu Wan Ning drove out of the Lu family estate.

As soon as she left Lu’s territory, several cars appeared from different directions, tailing her.

This must be Fang Hongyu’s “gift.”

They absolutely had to succeed!

Chu Wan Ning deliberately drove to a deserted area.

“Boss, where is she heading?” a henchman asked as they ventured further into solitude.

“Who cares? Just from the photos, she’s wild enough. Playing with her will be fun. Getting to play with such a treasure for free and even get paid—that’s the goal!”

“Yes, yes, Boss is wise!”

Chu Wan Ning smoothly lured them to a remote wasteland, checking carefully that there were no surveillance cameras.

She parked gracefully, leaning against the hood, waiting.

Soon, five cars surrounded her.

“Hey, girl, can’t your man satisfy you? So obedient, just waiting for me!”

The leader’s lecherous eyes roamed over Chu Wan Ning.

Indeed, a rare gem—worth dying for just once!

“Little miss, be sensible. We’ll make it comfortable for you!”

“Yeah, listen to us, serve us well, and we won’t hurt you!”

“We’re lucky—this woman’s clearly experienced!”

Chu Wan Ning remained calm and composed, her eyes devoid of emotion as she watched their performance.

When they fell silent, she gave a sly smile and spoke lazily,

“Tell me your plan—be detailed. I’m here to satisfy you!”
