Chapter 211
People in love tend to become foolish.
In reality, this isn't entirely true. They simply focus too much on their partner, causing them to overlook potential issues.
It's similar to how some fans perceive their idols as being filled with starlight. If you remind them that their idols also fart and defecate, they might consider it blasphemous.
Likewise, those in love only see the good in their partner, ignoring the bad—even if it's a fatal flaw.
After An An came of age, Wen Qian constantly emphasized that it was okay to fall in love, but one should never lose their head over it.
Who would have thought that An An would remain clear-headed until this age? Sometimes Wen Qian wondered if her overly pessimistic education had caused her child to have no expectations at all.
An An didn't have any intention of spending her life alone, but she also didn't have any particular desire to stay single or get married.
If it happened, it happened. If not, so be it. It wasn't a big deal to her.
When An An interacted with people, especially those who had shown interest in her before, there were reasons why things didn't work out. First, there was no spark. Second, she could already predict what they would say or do next.
This made An An feel incredibly bored. In matters of love, figuring out the other person completely took away all the fun.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com
An An's ability to predict and judge situations might not have been as refined as Wen Qian's, but when it came to matters of the heart, she was possibly even more direct than Wen Qian, without any hesitation.
So before anything could even begin, the story had already ended for An An. To outsiders, it seemed as if An An never took relationships seriously, but in reality, she had already decided there was no future.
When Yin Chuan arrived, An An only followed her mother's request to learn about the new resident's background, also to ensure safety.
As they gradually spent more time together, An An found him quite interesting.
Yin Chuan felt the same way, so they often arranged to go hunting together.
Yin Chuan wanted to use these opportunities to spend time with An An, using excuses like setting up fence posts to mark territories or teaching hunting techniques.
Although they were doing things together, they often focused on their prey and couldn't talk much, but finding food in the forest was the top priority.
This way of interacting was actually the most realistic for the two of them. Neither was the type to fall head over heels in love instantly, nor would they neglect basic needs for the sake of romance.
Their relationship developed in this most mundane of ways.
Seeing that he couldn't tease her anymore, Yin Chuan explained, "Your mother already checked my background. You don't need to worry, I'm as clean as a whistle. Haha!"
An An's eyes widened. "Checked your background?"
"How else could I have entered your family? Your mother asked about everything before we decided to get married."
After some thought, An An felt her mother was really impressive, thinking of everything for her.
Yin Chuan, on the other hand, was recalling the scene at the time.
Originally, Yin Chuan and Wen Qian often met because of An An, but they never really got to know each other deeply.
It wasn't until they were about to get married that Wen Qian asked to see Yin Chuan alone. They talked for a long time, something An An didn't know about.
Yin Chuan still remembered how Wen Qian had just smiled and asked him to recount his life experiences from childhood to adulthood.
After Yin Chuan finished, Wen Qian asked him to tell the story again in reverse order.
This method seemed like she was looking for inconsistencies. Yin Chuan was taken aback but began to recount his story backward.
Not only could he tell it in reverse, but he could also provide detailed answers to Wen Qian's questions.
Yin Chuan increasingly felt that this elder was no ordinary person. He wondered what would happen if any of his lies were exposed.
The Wen Qian he observed was very relaxed, with no weapons around her, but her aura was strong, despite her advanced age.
After passing the test, Yin Chuan let out a long sigh. He felt like he had been interrogated, but understood that it was all for her daughter's safety.
Wen Qian naturally wanted to consider her daughter's future. If the man in question turned out to be full of flaws, she wouldn't hesitate to eliminate him.
In the Northern Forest, one or two deaths were hardly unusual occurrences.
Fortunately, Yin Chuan harbored no ill intentions, and he spoke honestly when addressing his lover's elder.
Although Wen Qian was advanced in years, killing someone wouldn't be difficult for her. After all, she could still skillfully utilize her spatial abilities.
She appeared to have nothing in her hands, posing no apparent danger, but her spatial pocket contained no shortage of lethal implements.
