Tan You watched as Chen Xi instructed An Wen, "Spend a day with Ming Guang tomorrow. You'll understand then."
An Wen followed Chen Xi, watching her interact with the women. Chen Xi knew her words carried little weight, so she didn't just start by talking about how great the clan was. Instead, she would occasionally mention bits of her daily life.
She also brought up the clan's eligible young men and women, which naturally piqued the women's interest.
An Wen had a revelation. "So, Big Sis, you're taking the 'back courtyard' approach."
"That's exactly it," Chen Xi didn't deny it. "Mother said that pillow talk is the most powerful persuasion. Besides, I'm not exactly tricking them. The clan really does have plenty of marriageable men and women."
An Wen understood. "But that approach won't work for me. I'm a man. How can I linger around those women for long?"
Tan You nearly spat out her tea. She scanned An Wen's scrawny little body up and down. 'A seven-year-old man?'
