Chapter 163: Oh~ My God, Gao Yang Dropped a Harsh Remark!

It just keeps going, huh? Chen Yan doesn't dare to argue with Gao Yang now; he only hopes she can descend safely.

If Gao Yang hadn't lied—if she truly were pregnant—but an accident caused by a farce occurred, he would regret it forever.

"Alright, alright, you go down first; we'll talk about whatever when you're down."

Gao Yang's nose twitched; hearing that, she shifted her body a bit and slowly crawled down.

Only her descending posture... hmm, hard to judge.

Basically she clung tightly to the tree trunk, inching down bit by bit, making Chen Yan want to laugh but not dare to.

After a while, Gao Yang finally landed safely, and Chen Yan immediately prepared to check her for injuries.

Unexpectedly, Gao Yang lunged at him, biting his shoulder hard while swinging her fist at his chest.

"Damn Chen Yan, you scared me, you scared me!"

"I'll bite you to death, beat you to death!"

"I married you properly, the wedding was just a few days ago, and you treat me like this; today I, your wife, will fight you to the death."

Chen Yan: "......"

How to put it...

Gao Yang's attack did little physical damage; its insult level was basically nil.

If a modern person were watching, they'd probably think Gao Yang was being cute.

Maybe they'd even comment: "Girl, do you actually want to kill him or reward him?"

"Alright, alright, we'll hit later, okay?" Chen Yan said helplessly, "First I'll check if you're injured, then I'll take your pulse."

At those words, Gao Yang froze, a hint of insecurity flashing in her eyes.

The pregnancy thing, of course that's fake.

The reason she said that then was simply that she thought Chen Yan had become serious, truly wanted to burn her to death, and in a moment of panic blurted it out.

How should she now smooth it over?

Coincidentally, the flicker of insecurity in Gao Yang's eyes was caught by Chen Yan, and his wit reclaimed the high ground.

He instantly realized he'd been fooled by Gao Yang.

Come to think of it, they'd only been married a few days.

Leaving aside the fact that he keeps doing it outside, the chance of pregnancy is tiny.

Even if Gao Yang truly were pregnant, how could one determine that in such a short time?

The more you think about it, the more it doesn't add up.

Chen Yan, his face darkened, said, "You Li Zhaotang, how could you dare deceive me!"

The insecurity in Gao Yang's heart grew stronger; she was about to lower her head when she suddenly snapped back to herself.

That's not right!

Clearly she's the victim!

If Chen Yan hadn't frightened her with fire and thick smoke, would she have needed to lie?

Realizing this, Gao Yang immediately said with righteous indignation, "What do you mean I deceived you?"

"Clearly you were the one who scared me first, right?"

"Scaring me is one thing, but you used fire, and the thick smoke was huge; how could I not be scared?"

"I begged you, said all the nice things, yet you, a heartless mad bastard, still wouldn't let me go; what could I do?"

"You tell me, in that situation, what could I have done?"

"Who told you to learn only the useless?" Chen Yan said irritably, "You jump around like a monkey every day; what if you fall?"

"Don't you even look at how big that willow tree is, is it dangerous?"

"Did you forget how that branch broke last time?"

Recalling the previous incident, Gao Yang felt a bit scared.

Although the few willows planted in the backyard were small, not as big as those in the Imperial Palace, they seemed perfectly able to support a person.

She hadn't expected the branch to break; fortunately Chen Yan was quick-eyed and swift-handed, otherwise she might have been injured and bedridden for days.

If today she hadn't been so smug, and given the special spot of the surprise attack on Chen Yan, she might have forgotten this incident and perhaps wouldn't have dared to climb the tree.

Nevertheless, words aside, Gao Yang still couldn't get over it.

"Fine, I admit you truly wanted to help me."

"But wasn't your method a bit too extreme?"

"Burning with fire—how could you even think of that? Aren't you afraid that if something goes wrong, I'd end up in an even more dangerous situation?"

"Do you think I'm you?" Chen Yan glanced at her lightly, "You have no sense of proportion, completely disregard the possible consequences of your actions."

"As the saying goes, a dog can't stop eating rice fields, Gao Yang can't stop climbing trees; how can I not be extreme?"

Gao Yang: "......"

Two blue veins bulged on her forehead, looking like a volcano about to erupt.

But Chen Yan ignored it, nonchalantly continuing, "Fine, never mind, I'm too lazy to bother you. From now on, you can climb wherever you want."

"Anyway, if you have an accident and fall..."

?

Gao Yang, puzzled, asked, "What opportunity are you giving me?"

"Of course it's a chance to spend time with Li Lizhi," Chen Yan said with a teasing smile, "When you fall and get disabled, I can focus all my thoughts on Li Lizhi..."

"Thud!"

Before he could finish, the response was a punch.

"Damn..."

Chen Yan clutched his stomach, pain making him grit his teeth and grimace.

Gao Yang threw that punch with real force, holding nothing back.

And Chen Yan had made no preparations, so he failed to dodge and took the punch.

"So am I getting in your way?"

Gao Yang's voice was so cold it made people shiver, each word seeming to be forced out from between his teeth.

It was clear she was truly angry.

"No, not really. Anyway, given your love for climbing trees, you'll fall sooner or later—whether you're there or not makes no difference." Chen Yan eased up, grinning as he said:

"By then, I'll bring Li Lizhi to visit you every day, flaunting our affection right in front of you just to piss you off."

"You......" Gao Yang, hearing this, flew into a rage, raising his fist to throw another punch.

But after thinking, she ultimately lowered her hand.

She wasn't stupid, so she naturally understood Chen Yan was provoking her.

Although the words were harsh and she hated them, she had to admit Chen Yan meant well for her.

"If you dare say such things in front of this Princess again, I'll fight you to the end." Gao Yang left those words harshly, then stormed off angrily.

Seeing this, Chen Yan really wanted to laugh.

For some reason, he felt this scene was very familiar.

Okay! Flame-spotted Cat enters the fray! Let's see what Flame-spotted Cat plans to... Oh goodness, Flame-spotted Cat unleashes a Palm Strike Ambush, leaving the opponent briefly dazed. Well! Flame-spotted Cat chose not to press the attack but instead to leave after dropping harsh words—truly a perfect tactic.

An image involuntarily surfaced in his mind, and Chen Yan laughed.

Hard to say whether to speak of it, but it's really damn similar.

It practically perfectly matches Gao Yang's recent behavior.

At this moment, Chen Yan seemed to notice something; his gaze shifted, fixing on three heads in a distant window.

Then those three heads slowly lowered, disappearing from his sight.

Rubbing his stomach, Chen Yan let out a light sigh, feeling somewhat relieved yet also disappointed.

"......"
