What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 540

Actually, to be honest, Zhuo Lanqing was a bit careless.

After the meal was finished, when it was time to settle accounts at the Tower of Nothingness,

she decisively skipped out,

leaving the matter of reckoning to Ye Yu.

She even made a point to say that she’d been feeling unwell lately and would be away traveling for a few days.

During that time, Ye Yu should talk seriously with Shangguan Jiu about their situation.

And once she calms down, Ye Yu could call her back.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Such a request really surprised Ye Yu.

Fairy, oh fairy, when we were together before, you were fearless, the bravest of all!

Now that trouble comes, you leave me to carry it alone?

That’s a bit unkind!

And based on many dream experiences, reasoning with a woman in love is absolutely one of the stupidest things in the world.

So Ye Yu didn’t waste much breath on Zhuo Lanqing.

Firstly, he knew that since she had started to chicken out, no matter what he said, little would change.

Secondly, Zhuo Lanqing barely gave Ye Yu a chance to speak.

She finished her instructions and immediately slipped away.

Her speed was insanely fast,

even catching Ye Yu off guard.

Still, this kind of thing was really a headache.

How was he supposed to explain everything alone?

Just as Ye Yu pondered,

an excited voice sounded.

“Husband, you’re back?”

The next moment, Shangguan Jiu’s figure rushed forward and arrived before Ye Yu.

She had just emerged from seclusion.

At a glance, she recognized the spirit vessel as Zhuo Lanqing’s exclusive item and guessed that Ye Yu and Zhuo Lanqing had returned.

Seeing it was true,

Shangguan Jiu was very excited and immediately linked her arm with his.

Then looking around curiously, she asked, “Husband, why isn’t Zhuo Lanqing here? Where did she go?”

Ye Yu’s expression instantly turned complicated.

Well, this question was really sharp,

one could say it hit the bullseye.

How to answer?

To be blunt or to ease into it was worth thinking about.

“She... went out on some business and won’t be back to the sect for a while.”

Shangguan Jiu was smart and quickly sensed something was off.

She knew well Zhuo Lanqing was very loyal to the sect.

Since the Tower of Nothingness sect was established,

Zhuo Lanqing basically never left the gates,

dedicating herself to guarding the sect every day,

constantly thinking about how to develop the sect.

Such a person wouldn’t just not return to the sect, right?

“Out on business?”

Those two words felt far too hollow.

“Husband, is it really true that Zhuo Lanqing went out on business?”

Ye Yu’s eyelids twitched wildly.

The questions were getting sharper!

How to answer?

Seeing Ye Yu hesitate, Shangguan Jiu moved a bit closer again.

“You’re hiding something from me, aren’t you?”

Ye Yu tensed all over.

Just as he was about to confess everything,

Shangguan Jiu’s voice trembled.

“Did something happen to her? Just tell me. I can handle it!”

“No accident, it really is business! Don’t overthink it!”

Ye Yu shook his head repeatedly.

Madam, it’s not because you say you can handle it that you really can.

I’m genuinely worried you can’t.

While the two talked,

a sharp shout echoed inside the Tower of Nothingness.
