The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity-Chapter 436 - 434: Call Hubby

Chu Yan had cleaned the room first, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to stay here tonight.

Qin Zhao had wanted to help him, but Chu Yan told her to sit and play on her phone, complaining that she was in the way.

After his barrage of complaints, Qin Zhao couldn’t be bothered to help him anymore and sprawled out on the bed to play games listlessly.

"Zhaozhao, dinner’s ready."

Time flies when playing games.

Not only had Chu Yan finished cleaning, but he had also cooked dinner.

During the meal, Qin Zhao couldn’t help but ask him, "How long has your mother been gone?"

"What do you mean, my mother?" Chu Yan served her a piece of braised pork, "She’s your mother now too."

Qin Zhao paused, somewhat unaccustomed to this address.

After all, she hadn’t called anyone that in her past life or this one.

Even though she knew Qin Wan was her biological mother, she still called her ’aunt’ now.

"She’s been gone for six years."

"That long, huh? Were you still in school at the time?"

"Yeah, I was in high school."

"She must have reincarnated by now."

Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, figuring that she probably wouldn’t see her soul when they went to pay respects tomorrow.

As for the peculiar creature that is a mother-in-law, she really didn’t know how to deal with one.

And wasn’t it often said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships were difficult to manage?

Qin Zhao didn’t like handling such relationships either; she just wanted to live a good life with the person she loved, and it just so happened that there were no other relatives to deal with on Chu Yan’s side.

The only person Chu Yan cared about was his mother.

Although his mother had passed away, Qin Zhao could see souls!

How awkward would it be if they saw the soul tomorrow and the old lady wasn’t satisfied with her daughter-in-law?

"If only I had these abilities six years ago."

There was a touch of melancholy in Chu Yan’s eyes, and he didn’t start eating right away.

"My mother passed away while I was in the provincial capital taking the college entrance exam, and I didn’t make it back in time to see her one last time."

As he said this, there was a trace of bitterness in his voice.

It had become one of his regrets.

"Maybe she’s worried about you and hasn’t reincarnated yet."

Qin Zhao thought for a moment and tried to comfort him, "Black Impermanence said that the underworld is overcrowded with ghosts, and you have to wait in line to reincarnate. Some ghosts who don’t get in queue will linger in the Human World for a while.

If your mom didn’t get in queue, we might see her this time."

"You got it wrong again." Chu Yan chuckled, "If we see mom tomorrow, you can’t call her that. We’re married now, so you should call her ’mom’ like me."

Qin Zhao bit her chopsticks, "Then remind me again tomorrow."

"Alright."

After dinner, Chu Yan took it upon himself to wash the dishes.

"Do you want to go for a walk? We can buy some things for the ritual on the way."

The village wasn’t far from the town, which had developed its tourism industry quite well.

There was not only a chain supermarket but also milk tea shops and plenty of local snacks.

When Chu Yan mentioned the snack street, Qin Zhao’s eyes lit up.

"Let’s go have a stroll around the snack street."

As Chu Yan was locking the door, she had already run off eagerly quite a distance.

He followed her helplessly, "You’re not still hungry, are you?"

"What do you think?"

"Lucky it’s not during the New Year that we’re here."

"Why?"

"A pig like you in our village would get slaughtered during the New Year."

"Chu, Yan! Are you asking for a beating?!"

Qin Zhao stopped in her tracks and stomped on his foot hard.

He curved his lips into a smile and took out two black masks from his pocket, helping her put one on.

"Better wear a mask, or there will always be people staring."

It was mainly that he didn’t like some of the young people always staring at Qin Zhao; he himself didn’t really care.

They wandered around the town, bought the things needed for the next day’s ritual, and a bunch of peculiar local snacks.

Chu Yan felt that he hadn’t seen these foods even when he was Xiao Shi; he didn’t know how they had become a specialty of the area.

But since Qin Zhao wanted to try them, they bought quite a lot.

Returning home, Chu Yan tidied up a bit while Qin Zhao went to freshen up.

After finishing, he heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom and stood at the door for a while.

"Qin Zhao, can I come in?"

"I haven’t finished washing."

The bathroom at home was remodeled later, fitted with a sliding door, the kind that couldn’t be locked.

Chu Yan noticed this and gently pushed the door ajar. White steam snaked out of the bathroom.

His eyes blinked, but he still pushed the door open and walked in.

"Ah! You...!"

Qin Zhao was startled when she suddenly saw him, shrieking in alarm.

Chu Yan hurried forward to cover her lips, "What are you screaming for? It’s not like I’ve never seen it before."

The water from the showerhead spilled onto Chu Yan’s body, trickling down along his clearly-defined jawline, slowly dropping, adding a seductive charm to his handsome face, his cool Phoenix Eyes gaining a layer of dark color.

"That, that’s not okay! Get out quickly!"

Qin Zhao removed his hand, feeling entirely uncomfortable.

He moved closer, his gaze drifting downwards, his eyes deep and probing.

"Let’s shower together."

"..."

Qin Zhao really wanted to refuse, but he snatched away the showerhead and then pinned her against the wall.

"Cold."

The shower was hot, but the wall was cold.

Qin Zhao wasn’t wearing clothes and accidentally brushed against the wall, prompting her to instinctively nestle into his embrace.

Chu Yan’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his voice husky, "Help me take off my clothes."

His white shirt was now soaked.

The semi-transparent shirt clung to his body, revealing the perfect curves of his muscles.

Qin Zhao’s breath hitched, her hands trembling as she helped him unbutton it.

Chu Yan looked down at her, his gaze growing more dangerous, and he reminded her in a low voice, "First undo the belt, take off the pants, what’s the use of unbuttoning first?"

"..."

With a whoosh, Qin Zhao’s face turned beet red.

Seeing her hesitate, Chu Yan still hung up the showerhead and decided to do it himself.

In the middle of it all, he suddenly thought, "Qin Zhao, you’re about to meet your mother-in-law, how come you still haven’t called me husband?"

"I don’t want to."

Qin Zhao firmly refused; she would never call him that!

"Don’t want to? Are you sure?"

Her gaze met those cold, dangerous Phoenix Eyes, and Qin Zhao’s heart skipped a beat.

"I already gave you a chance just now. From this moment on, you can only call me that, otherwise..."

He didn’t finish speaking, his eyes focusing on the person in his arms. He saw those peach-blossom eyes misted with water, the corners tinged with red, angrily glaring at him.

The sense of invasion in the Phoenix Eyes became more intense. He really wanted to tease her mercilessly, beyond the point of begging for mercy.

Late in the night, Chu Yan finally heard Qin Zhao call him husband as he wished.

Only, her voice was so soft, weak and breathless, almost like a kitten’s mew.

And that soft call left him utterly sleepless.

The next morning, not long after Qin Zhao had fallen asleep, Chu Yan pulled her up to go grave visiting.

She seriously had thoughts of strangling Chu Yan.

On the way up the mountain, she didn’t speak a word to Chu Yan.

Clearly she was in a bit of a mood and not easily appeased.

"Zhaozhao, are you tired? I’ll carry you up."

After many attempts to start a conversation, all ignored by Qin Zhao, Chu Yan once again found himself without a response.

He simply dropped the bag in his hand, grabbed hold of Qin Zhao, and carelessly hoisted her onto his back.

"What are you doing? Put me down!"

"The mountain is so high, I’m worried you will get tired."

"Chu, Yan! I think you’re seriously ill!"

They were going to visit his mother’s grave, meeting his mother-in-law for the first time!

Carrying her there like this, wasn’t she going to lose all dignity?!

"Put me down quickly! What if mother’s soul sees this!"

"Then talk to me."
