Chapter 51: Xu Miaoyin's Secret, Guo Lin's Sense of Crisis - Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real

Chapter 51: Xu Miaoyin's Secret, Guo Lin's Sense of Crisis Xu Miaoyin harbored a secret. She had been reborn, returning from eight years forward in time. In those eight years, she experienced a turbulent emotional entanglement with someone who originally didn't exist. After that person was poisoned and died, she had followed by jumping off a cliff. But instead of everything vanishing into oblivion as she expected, she found herself back eight years, at the moment she had just become the head of the Xue Nu Sect. Upon awakening to familiar surroundings, her heart surged with intense excitement. The first thing Xu Miaoyin thought to do once reborn was to find him. She journeyed to his hometown and asked around, only to learn that no one had ever heard of him. It was as if he had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace in this world. She searched for his friends, family, even others who admired or loved him besides herself. The answers were always the same! Sometimes, she doubted if everything she experienced over those eight years was nothing but a long dream. Xu Miaoyin felt incapable of uncovering the truth. This led to a long period of despondency. It was only recently that she began to slowly emerge from her inner turmoil, ready to embrace a new life. But upon seeing someone who looked exactly like him from her memories... She could no longer control herself, her eyes misted over instantly. Yet, the person before her lacked any martial aura, sharing only an identical appearance, even differing in demeanor. Her Su Lang was always so spirited and confident, as if nothing in the world could challenge him. The man here, though robust and strong, bore a face suggestive of someone long accustomed to pleasing others. Not him. No! Not him! Xu Miaoyin immediately concluded this was just someone resembling Su Lang! Just then, a clear voice echoed from outside the door. "Su Mo, is the meal ready? This miss is famished." "If you let me starve and lose weight, I'll report to my mother!" At that moment, Guo Lin entered, dressed charmingly in a red brocade coat, a white fox-fur cloak draped around her, and a mink fur hat perched on her head. By then, Su Mo had already placed two dishes on the table where Bai Manshan and others sat, and brought over three sets of bowls and chopsticks. "Oh my dear Second Miss, don't worry, it's all ready and simmering in the pot." "That's good!" Guo Lin was overjoyed, but then cast a wary glance at the group of women beside her, unsure of their origin as they intruded even before the inn officially opened. They looked like martial world individuals. Xu Miaoyin was startled by the voice. Su Mo? This person was called Su Mo too? The same name as her Su Lang! Xu Miaoyin was in a daze. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Could it be that she hadn't truly been reborn but somehow arrived in another world where her Su Lang was really him, but by fate's twist, he hadn't pursued martial arts and instead opened an inn here? Xu Miaoyin's heart, which had just steadied, was once again in turmoil... What should she do next... Looking at the face so identical to Su Lang's, even sharing the same name, her heart burned with emotion. Since her rebirth, she hadn't felt such a sensation again. Previously, her heart had died along with Su Lang's passing. Yet seeing Su Mo now, her frozen heart seemed to come alive again, transforming from stone back to flesh and blood. Xu Miaoyin even felt an impulse to immediately hold Su Mo in her arms to ease her longing. But she couldn't do that. She had to take it slowly, after all, her Su Lang didn't recognize her now. If she acted rashly, what if she scared him away? Su Mo also noticed Xu Miaoyin, drawn in by her stunning face and exaggerated figure, he felt he had seen such an exquisite beauty somewhere before. Ah. The character he simulated in his first love interest scenario looked exactly like this beautiful girl, just not as stunning in real life, which was why he didn't recognize her at first. Suddenly, a sharp pain flared up on his waist. Guo Lin was pinching him with her delicate fingers. Ouch! Su Mo felt thoroughly embarrassed and wondered why Guo Lin would pinch him out of nowhere. Guo Lin snorted softly. "Hurry up and cook, I'm starving!" Just moments ago, she’d noticed the way Su Mo looked at Xu Miaoyin, and an instinctive discomfort welled up inside her. This woman's figure was just too exaggerated; her curves were so ample and her waist so slender. Compared to her, she felt like a plump peach against a slender bean sprout, not an advantage at all. Moreover, the way this woman looked at her Su brother also seemed off, as if gazing at a lover. Guo Lin was instinctively overwhelmed with a sense of crisis. She immediately wanted to shove Su Mo into the kitchen. However, Su Mo remained unmoved. Now that these martial arts practitioners had gathered in Linjiang City, presumably for the Black Wind Fortress, he couldn't look away while potentially watching someone significant from his first simulation romance line rush to her death. Su Mo looked toward Guo Lin. "Second Miss, there's a lot of people here. I'll entertain them first; you and Chunlan go to the kitchen. I'll join you soon." Knowing not to push too hard, Guo Lin reluctantly agreed. "Alright then, you better come soon." "Will do!" Watching Guo Lin and her maid leave, Su Mo approached Xu Miaoyin, but the intense allure proved too distracting, robbing him of his words momentarily. Nearby, a disciple of the Xue Nu Sect noticed Su Mo's wandering gaze too. Immediately, she drew her sword. "Lewd fellow, what are you staring at!" Hearing the sound of a sword being drawn, Su Mo's scalp tightened nervously, and he quickly lowered his head. "Apologies, apologies, I just wanted to ask what you'd like to eat, and whether you wanted any drinks." Xu Miaoyin, however, did not take offense. She was well aware of how tempting her figure could be. Being stared at by her Su Lang, she found it was far from a loss. "Yulan, step back." "And try to restrain yourself from drawing your sword so easily." Hearing Xu Miaoyin's reprimand, Yulan slowly sheathed her sword. "Yes, Sect Master." Xu Miaoyin turned her gaze towards a round table in the hall, sufficient for eight of them to sit around. Then she looked at Su Mo. A soft and gentle voice followed. "Boss, there are eight of us; alcohol is unnecessary. A few vegetarian dishes and rice will do." Su Mo nodded. "Alright, I'll prepare servings for eight." With that, Su Mo proceeded to the kitchen. Xu Miaoyin and her companions took their seats one by one. ... In the kitchen, Guo Lin impatiently kicked at the firewood. The firewood rolled around, much like the tumult in her heart. Why was her Su brother so easily admired by other women? So vexing! Over the past month, Chunlan had grown keenly aware of her lady's emotions. She simply couldn't understand what was so special about Su Mo to ensnare her lady so thoroughly. Nonetheless, such matters concerning her master were beyond a servant's interference; she could only assist by taking the dishes from the pot and setting them on the kitchen table. "Miss, let's have a meal first." "I must admit, Steward Su's cooking is delicious. I feel like my waistline has expanded recently." Upon hearing Chunlan's comment, an image of Xu Miaoyin's slender waist suddenly flitted through Guo Lin's mind. "I’m not eating, I need to slim down!" (End of Chapter)
