《Sticking to Mr.Chairman in This Life》 Chapter 1 - 1 1 The Last Glance ?1: Chapter 1: The Last Glance 1: Chapter 1: The Last Glance ¡°Bang¡± A heavy body fell forward, and instinctively the girl wrapped her arms around him, her blood-red eyes suddenly widened. ¡°Bang bang bang...¡± A succession of gunshots rang out, and the man who had fallen on the girl had his back riddled with bullets. But on that noble and stunning face, not a hint of pain was shown. Those deep black eyes, as they had countless times before, gazed at the girl with deep affection. Until the moment he closed his eyes, he didn¡¯t blink at all. In Su Ge¡¯s memory, this was the longest time Chu Yihan had ever looked at her with that gaze. His body was frighteningly heavy, and for all the years they¡¯d been together, she had never realized until now how weighty he was. The full weight of his body fell upon her, so much so that her legs began to tremble. No, her entire body was trembling. ¡°Why... why...¡± Tears involuntarily clouded her vision, and Su Ge looked panic-stricken. Why did he take the bullet for her? She had ruined his family and his life, nearly killed him countless times; why did he protect her with his life at the very last moment? Suddenly, the clicking of high heels echoed in the empty basement. Su Ge looked up to see Bai Jingya, dressed in a pure white dress, standing behind the gunman. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± Su Ge quickly understood why those who had kidnapped her had made sure to draw Chu Yihan here. Bai Jingya hated Chu Yihan to the bone; they had come for him this time. But why did Chu Yihan come... She had caused him such misery, he could have ignored her fate completely... ¡°Not just me.¡± Bai Jingya¡¯s red lips slightly curled into a smirk, and behind her, a tall and handsome man slowly made his appearance. ¡°Lixuan.¡± When Su Ge saw him, her eyes instantly softened a great deal. Wen Lixuan, the man she had always loved since her childhood. She had repeatedly harmed Chu Yihan, all for him. ¡°Lixuan, you promised me you would do it yourself,¡± Bai Jingya suddenly cooed, looping her arm through Wen Lixuan¡¯s. Su Ge¡¯s expression froze in an instant. Her expression turned to one of ridicule. That¡¯s right, they had come together. The kidnappers weren¡¯t just Bai Jingya but also Wen Lixuan! The man who had promised her countless times that he would marry her as soon as Chu Yihan was dead. Wen Lixuan gave Bai Jingya a tender glance, then took a few steps forward and took the gun from the man who had killed Chu Yihan. Watching his actions, Su Ge slowly laid the stunningly handsome yet cold-bodied man onto the blood-stained ground. Wen Lixuan, holding the gun, walked over. He didn¡¯t immediately point it at Su Ge but aimed at Chu Yihan¡¯s noble and handsome face and fired several more shots. The face that the countless young women of Rong City had proclaimed the most beautiful was instantly mangled beyond recognition. Watching this scene, Su Ge felt as if she were being twisted in agony in her chest; she wanted to scream, to shout Chu Yihan¡¯s name, but her throat felt as if it was being strangled, and she couldn¡¯t make a sound. Until, that is, Wen Lixuan¡¯s gun was pointing at her head, allowing her severe emotions to slowly subside. ¡°Does it hurt?¡± A rare touch of callousness appeared on Wen Lixuan¡¯s usually graceful face, ¡°Since it¡¯s already so painful, you probably won¡¯t mind it hurting a little more.¡± Su Ge was prepared for death; she didn¡¯t even want to ask why the man who once deeply loved her was now pointing a gun at her, wanting her life, whereas the man she had harmed time and again died for her at the last moment. Now, she just wanted to die together with Chu Yihan. No matter if this man had a vendetta deep as the sea with her, with his death, her heart too had died. Chapter 2 - 2 2 Burned for Three Days ?2: Chapter 2 Burned for Three Days 2: Chapter 2 Burned for Three Days ¡°Chu Yihan, it wasn¡¯t you who brought ruin and death upon your family; the real culprit is the Wen Family.¡± The words from Wen Lixuan set off tumultuous waves in Su Ge¡¯s nearly dead heart. She stared intently at him, watching his lips slowly form words, ¡°All these years you fancied me because you thought I saved your life in that fire, but in fact, the one who saved you wasn¡¯t me, it was Chu Yihan, whom you¡¯ve always regarded as your nemesis.¡± ¡°Always mistaking your enemy for your benefactor, and your benefactor for your enemy, Su Ge, your life has really been pitiful.¡± Bai Jingya also walked over at this time, standing beside Wen Lixuan with a smile, ¡°Haven¡¯t you been waiting for Lixuan to marry you? Let me tell you the truth, Lixuan and I have been together for a long time. You¡¯ve always been nothing more than a pawn used by the Wen Family, Lixuan never liked you.¡± Wen Lixuan sneered at Su Ge¡¯s ashen face, then, slowly pulled the trigger. Su Ge fell into Chu Yihan¡¯s arms. With her last bit of strength, she clung to his hand and wept, whispering in his ear, ¡°Yihan... I¡¯m sorry... In the next life, I will definitely... repay you...¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Pain... It felt like her head was about to burst. There was a scolding voice nearby, sounding very familiar. ¡°The lady has been burning with fever for three days now, what use are you? If she doesn¡¯t wake up today...¡± Su Ge struggled to open her eyes, but her eyelids were heavy, no matter how hard she tried, they wouldn¡¯t budge, and she frantically reached out to grab the sheets. Just as she moved slightly, her hand was taken by someone. It was a warm, strong hand, gripping her gently, so gentle that with just a little more movement, she could slide right out of his palm. Su Ge dared not move an inch. Yihan... The person holding her was Chu Yihan! This was the same way he had always touched her, each contact cautious and careful, fragile like a thread ready to snap at the slightest strain. That was because every time he approached her, she repulsed him greatly. Whenever he touched her, she would curse at him furiously, breaking all valuables in the Chu Family home. He would sit silently on the sofa with furrowed brows every time, waiting for her to calm down, and only once ensuring she hadn¡¯t hurt herself, would he leave the Chu Family home. After each of her outbursts, he was especially careful with his touches, avoiding contact with her as much as possible. She remembered that he hadn¡¯t touched her for many years. Such light touches, they were from the early years together with Chu Yihan, right? No, that¡¯s not right, she should have died from a gunshot to the head by Wen Lixuan, shouldn¡¯t she? And Chu Yihan... Su Ge¡¯s body jerked violently. ¡°Madam is awake, she¡¯s awake.¡± Bright sunlight made Su Ge¡¯s tears flow uncontrollably, but the doctors were elated, calling out loudly. Housekeeper Wu came over for a look, his face not showing much joy, but it changed to a smile when he reported to the noble-looking man who had quietly retreated to the side as soon as Su opened her eyes, ¡°Fourth Master, Lady is awake, she¡¯s alright.¡± Except for a few doctors, none of the Chu Family members were genuinely happy in the room. To the Chu Family, Su Ge was like a living nightmare. There hadn¡¯t been a peaceful day in the Chu Family since her arrival. She was a walking time bomb, and no one knew when she would explode next. The Chu Family had thought she was insane, but after several medical examinations, the doctors declared her completely sane, with no sign of mental illness. Who wouldn¡¯t hate a person who likes to act crazy without being sick? Chapter 3 - 3 3 Time to Use a Trump Card ?3: Chapter 3 Time to Use a Trump Card 3: Chapter 3 Time to Use a Trump Card Chu Yihan did not speak, his handsome face showing cold indifference. Su Ge wiped away her tears and sat up on the bed. She looked around blankly at the people in the room. She was in a daze for about three to four minutes. Such a familiar scene was exactly like that memory. That was when she wanted Bai Jingya to come to the Chu Family to accompany her. Chu Yihan disagreed, and she, acting on a whim, jumped into the Chu Family¡¯s Lotus Pond. Initially, she just wanted to threaten Chu Yihan, but unexpectedly, her body gave in, and she became unconscious from the cold for three days. After waking up, Housekeeper Wu told her that Chu Yihan had agreed to allow Bai Jingya to visit the Chu Family freely. ¡°Madam, you finally woke up. The Fourth Master has agreed to allow Ms. Bai to come to the Chu Family to accompany you. Look, how about I call Ms. Bai right now and ask her to come over?¡± Housekeeper Wu¡¯s voice rang out, identical to what she had heard before. What¡¯s going on? It had been eight years since the incident at the Lotus Pond. Had she really returned to eight years ago? ¡°Chu Yihan is not the one who caused the destruction of your family. The real instigator behind your family¡¯s downfall is the Wen Family.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve been in love with me all these years because you thought I saved your life in that fire. In fact, it wasn¡¯t me who saved you, but... the Chu Yihan whom you¡¯ve always considered your enemy.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve always mistaken your enemy for your benefactor and your benefactor for your enemy. Su Ge, you¡¯ve really lived your half-life in such a pathetic way.¡± ¡°Yihan... I... I¡¯m sorry, if there¡¯s a next life, I will definitely... repay you...¡± Suddenly, Su Ge laughed, revealing a giddy, tear-streaked face. The few doctors standing aside exchanged confused looks. The servants of the Chu Family silently retreated. Madam is going to have another breakdown. Well, it would be strange if she didn¡¯t go mad after being unconscious for three days and nights. While everyone was wondering what kind of crazy action Su Ge might take next, Su Ge suddenly stopped laughing and her gaze turned to Chu Yihan. The abrupt look startled Ling Feng, who was standing behind Chu Yihan; he almost subconsciously stepped forward, watching Su Ge warily. Su Ge looked at the coldly handsome man, tears flowing uncontrollably, ¡°Yihan... Yihan...¡± He was still alive, he was alive, and that was great. God had given her the chance to make it up to him. She owed him... so much, too much... Seeing Su Ge like this, Chu Yihan¡¯s consistently cold face seemed to flicker with a hint of movement in his dark pupils. The Chu Family¡¯s servants all had solemn expressions, intently on guard. Madam is going to pull off a big move today... Su Ge noticed the way everyone was looking at her and suddenly realized something. Ever since coming to the Chu Family, she had been misbehaving and scheming against Chu Yihan. If she suddenly changed her attitude towards Chu Yihan now, wouldn¡¯t everyone just think that she was brewing an even bigger conspiracy? ...No, she can¡¯t change her attitude towards Chu Yihan right away. ¡°Get out!¡± Su Ge turned her head and sharply commanded. The Chu Family¡¯s servants glanced at each other and without another word, quickly cleared out. Ling Feng looked nervously towards Chu Yihan. Chu Yihan¡¯s expression had barely changed from the beginning to the end. He looked deeply at Su Ge for a few seconds and then turned to leave. With Chu Yihan gone, no one else dared to linger. Housekeeper Wu and several doctors followed him out the door. The room was suddenly left with only Su Ge, who brought her hand to her forehead and slapped it hard. Yihan, I¡¯m sorry, I wasn¡¯t yelling at you... Chapter 4 - 4 4 Dont Sit ?4: Chapter 4 Don¡¯t Sit... 4: Chapter 4 Don¡¯t Sit... ¡°Call the Bai Family and ask Bai Jingya to come over.¡± Su Ge had just finished changing clothes and was ready to go downstairs when she heard Chu Yihan¡¯s deep voice as soon as she stepped out of the door. Housekeeper Wu responded with a yes and then walked away with the phone. Su Ge shivered, was Bai Lianhua coming to the Chu Family? ¡°Wait!¡± Su Ge called out from upstairs and then quickly went downstairs. ¡°Lady...¡± Housekeeper Wu turned around and looked at Su Ge, slightly lowering his gaze. ¡°You are inviting Bai Jingya to our house?¡± Housekeeper Wu raised his gaze inquiringly, and Su Ge quickly said, ¡°I mean, Jing Ya is my best friend, of course, I want to ¡®host her well.¡¯ The scenery at the Lotus Pond is quite nice, let me go and set it up first. After it¡¯s ready, then invite people over.¡± Su Ge glanced at the unapproachably cold Chu Yihan, feeling a bit uneasy, then strode outside. In the mid-summer season, the Lotus Pond at the Chu Family was filled with colorful lotuses. Red, yellow, white, purple, blue, dazzling under the brilliant sunshine. Su Ge grunted as she replaced the teahouse¡¯s cool chair by the pond with a sofa, then moved two lounge chairs from the poolside. She also prepared tea and snacks by herself, showing great consideration for Bai Jingya¡¯s visit. Without Su Ge¡¯s orders, the servants did not dare to approach the Lotus Pond. From several hundred meters away, they whispered, ¡°It seems Lady and Ms. Bai have a good relationship.¡± ¡°Of course, the Lady is even willing to die for Ms. Bai; how could their relationship be bad?¡± ¡°It seems we must really host this Miss Bai well...¡± ¡°Is it necessary for us to host her? The Lady has already prepared everything...¡± ¡°Do you think, our Lady dislikes the young master so much, yet she is so good to Ms. Bai, could the Lady¡¯s preference be...¡± ¡°Are you saying the Lady and Ms. Bai... GL?¡± ¡°What are you whispering about here!¡± A voice suddenly sounded behind several servants, causing them to shudder in fright and bow their heads like cicadas in winter. Ling Feng¡¯s face was tense, and behind him, Chu Yihan, in a pure hand-tailored black suit, had a handsome face with a cold expression and his thin lips lightly pursed. From a distance, he glanced at the girl busy by the Lotus Pond and lifted his leg to walk over. Ling Feng initially wanted to stop him but didn¡¯t manage to. It¡¯s all over, the Nth World War at the Chu Family was about to begin again... Su Ge was meticulously adjusting the lounge chairs she had moved from the poolside, completely unaware of Chu Yihan¡¯s arrival. She turned around abruptly and was startled by Chu Yihan. ¡°You... what are you doing here?¡± Su Ge spoke nervously and stammered. ¡°Checking on you.¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s voice, due to rarely speaking, sounded very deep. He lightly glanced over the lounge chairs behind Su Ge, his eyes flashing slightly. What did she put in the lounge chairs? ¡°Checking on me?¡± Su Ge was slightly stunned, then walked boldly to Chu Yihan¡¯s front, ¡°Alright, go ahead and look.¡± Chu Yihan was much taller than Su Ge, requiring her to tilt her head back to look at him. It was the first time she approached Chu Yihan so actively, and Su Ge¡¯s breathing slowed down due to nervousness. Chu Yihan¡¯s gaze was colder than usual, with a trace of indignation flickering in his eyes. He turned around and was about to sit down on the sofa. ¡°Don¡¯t sit...¡± Before he could sit down, Su Ge suddenly lunged and grabbed his sleeve. Chu Yihan turned around with a stern face. ¡°Uh... that, I just washed the sofa, it¡¯s still wet...¡± Su Ge let go of her hand, smiling awkwardly. Chapter 5 - 5 5 How many unspeakable things has she done ?5: Chapter 5 How many unspeakable things has she done? 5: Chapter 5 How many unspeakable things has she done? Chu Yihan lowered his head to look at the sofa. Just washed? ¡°Then, why don¡¯t you sit here?¡± Su Ge looked around for a place to sit, then pointed at the table. Everything here was arranged by her for Bai Jingya; the table was currently the safest option. Chu Yihan glanced at the table and then turned his gaze to Su Ge. His cold, dark eyes clearly thought that Su Ge was deliberately opposing him. Su Ge sighed in her heart. She really was doing this for his own good... Although she used to always oppose him, she was sincerely remorseful now. She wouldn¡¯t harm him anymore. Chu Yihan quickly shifted his eyes away and moved with steady steps towards the lounger by the Lotus Pond. Su Ge¡¯s eyes widened. Before Chu Yihan approached the lounger, she sprinted over and blocked his path, ¡°Chu Yihan, don¡¯t go too far. Do the things I prepared with so much effort for Jing Ya deserve to be defiled by you?¡± No sooner had Su Ge finished speaking did she repent in her heart. Yihan, Yihan... I was wrong... I didn¡¯t mean to insult you... Don¡¯t be sad, don¡¯t be sad... Chu Yihan didn¡¯t speak for a long time. Su Ge observed his expression; it was cold and indifferent, with detached brows and eyes, showing no hint of joy or sorrow. If it were in the past, she would have continued to curse him for putting on an act, for having the guts to quarrel with her, for having the guts to lay a hand on a woman. He would usually ignore her, but she would continue to make a scene, take the opportunity to smash things, and stir up a huge mess in the Chu Family until Chu Yihan¡¯s face turned utterly dark, which pleased her. She wanted to see him angry, unhappy, better yet, she wanted to anger him to death¡ªthat would satisfy her. The truth was that she did make Chu Yihan sick with anger. In their fifth year together, Chu Yihan was diagnosed with a heart condition. All her doing. At this thought, a pang of regret struck Su Ge¡¯s heart. She was truly a madman. During the ten years with Chu Yihan, what despicable deeds had she not committed? ¡°Fourth Master, Lady, Ms. Bai has arrived.¡± Ling Feng suddenly came over. Although Fourth Master didn¡¯t like Ms. Bai, Ling Feng was really grateful to her at this moment; if she had come any later, the Chu Family would have been thrown into chaos again. Seeing the Lady¡¯s pent-up demeanor, it was bound to be a storm of level ten or above... Ling Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. ¡°She¡¯s here...¡± Su Ge knew her own image in the eyes of the Chu Family, and after such an outburst, she was originally looking for a way to step down; with this opportunity, she immediately changed her attitude, joyfully saying, ¡°Since she¡¯s here, let her come over quickly.¡± After finishing, Su Ge cheerfully turned to look at Chu Yihan, ¡°Mr. Chu, as women are going to have a talk, perhaps you should step aside?¡± Chu Yihan rarely saw Su Ge smile, and the few times he did, it was always a cold smile, a mocking smile, or a fake smile. For him, Su Ge¡¯s fake smile was the most pleasant to see. Just like now. ¡°Alright.¡± He responded lightly and then turned to leave. Su Ge watched his receding figure with a smile that gradually stiffened on her face. Has Chu Yihan always been this agreeable? Indeed, after her years of outrageous behavior, if he hadn¡¯t been agreeable, could she have survived following behind him? Bai Jingya wore a white dress, her elegant, long hair reached her waist, and though her features were not as exquisite as Su Ge¡¯s, every frown and smile carried a captivating charm. Yet she walked the line of innocent harmlessness, so the combination of innocence and allure once made her more noticeable than Su Ge during school days, even when Su Ge was prettier. Chapter 6 - 6 6 Jing Ya, Whats Wrong with You ?6: Chapter 6 Jing Ya, What¡¯s Wrong with You? 6: Chapter 6 Jing Ya, What¡¯s Wrong with You? Su Ge watched her from afar and gave a sneer before pulling out the eyedrops she carried and applying two drops to each eye. As Bai Jingya approached the Lotus Pond, Su Ge immediately went up to her with tears, ¡°Jing Ya, you finally came, finally...¡± ¡°Xiao Ge, what¡¯s wrong? Is Chu Yihan not treating you well?¡± Bai Jingya furrowed her brows, looking very concerned. While crying, Su Ge shook her head continuously, ¡°Living is worse than dying... my days in the Chu Family are simply, simply unbearable...¡± ¡°I understand, I understand it all, Xiao Ge, don¡¯t say anymore.¡± Bai Jingya hugged Su Ge and sighed, ¡°Everybody knows how cold-blooded and merciless Chu Yihan is, dehumanizing. Suffering by his side must be tough for you.¡± ¡°Hmm...¡± Held by Bai Jingya, Su Ge continuously rolled her eyes. It took great effort for her to push Bai Jingya away, she wiped her tears, ¡°Jing Ya, please have a seat, we haven¡¯t seen each other for a while, let¡¯s sit down and talk.¡± Su Ge pointed at a nearby sofa. Bai Jingya, wearing high heels and already exhausted from walking to the Lotus Pond in the large Chu Family villa, didn¡¯t think twice before plopping down on the sofa. Her face turned pale the moment she sat down, then immediately she stood back up. ¡°Jing Ya, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Su Ge feigned confusion as she looked at her. Bai Jingya didn¡¯t speak, her brows furrowed in pain as she bent down to look for something on the sofa. She quickly found the culprit that pricked her. It was a large embroidery needle. ¡°What¡¯s this about?¡± Looking at the blood on the needle, Bai Jingya¡¯s face turned pale. Su Ge walked over and then slapped her forehead, ¡°Oh my, I actually forgot, this is the needle I put to prick Chu Yihan and forgot to remove, Jing Ya, are you okay?¡± ¡°Prick Chu Yihan?¡± ¡°Yes, Chu Yihan tortures me every day, of course I have to retaliate. If he won¡¯t let me live peacefully, I won¡¯t let him either!¡± Su Ge gritted her teeth in hatred. Bai Jingya¡¯s expression instantly improved, and she even managed a smile, ¡°Xiao Ge, you did right, for someone as inhumane as Chu Yihan, that¡¯s the way to do.¡± Su Ge sneered inwardly. Indeed, that used to be Bai Jingya¡¯s response. Whatever harmed Chu Yihan, she would say it was right. And she treated her as her best friend, always believing that she was doing the right thing. She even placed many such needles in Chu Yihan¡¯s pillow. Chu Yihan couldn¡¯t have failed to notice, but he never blamed her for it or came demanding explanations. Eventually, under the incitement of Bai Jingya and Wen Lixuan, she intensified her efforts, conspired with outsiders, and ruined the wealthy and powerful Chu Yihan, leading to his ruin and death. In the end... she killed him. Every time Su Ge thought of this, she felt foolishly pathetic. Seeing the approving smile on Bai Jingya¡¯s face, Su Ge pointed concernedly to a lounge chair moved in from the poolside, ¡°Jing Ya, I see blood on the needle, maybe lie down there and rest for a bit.¡± ¡°That sounds good.¡± Bai Jingya, without overthinking, walked over, first checked for any more needles, and then laid down. There was red wine on the table; Su Ge poured two glasses, one for Bai Jingya and brought it over. ¡°Jing Ya, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Bai Jingya kept scratching herself, by the time Su Ge approached, her neck and arms were already red. ¡°I don¡¯t know, suddenly I feel very itchy.¡± Bai Jingya quickly sat up. Chapter 7 - 7 7 The Most Beautiful Bai Lianhua! ?7: Chapter 7: The Most Beautiful Bai Lianhua! 7: Chapter 7: The Most Beautiful Bai Lianhua! As soon as she sat up, her face turned white again. Drops of sweat started to form on her forehead. ¡°Jing Ya, are you okay?¡± Watching Bai Jingya hastily get up, Su Ge secretly sneered, The biggest embroidery needle she had specially prepared for Bai Jingya, although it shouldn¡¯t have been too deep, still made a bloody hole. Paired with the itching powder she had specially concocted, Bai Jingya was bound to be in discomfort for quite a few days. ¡°Xiao Ge, did you also put something here?¡± Even someone as dim as Bai Jingya knew that the itchiness on her body didn¡¯t come out of nowhere. ¡°Here?¡± Su Ge was a bit puzzled and took several seconds before suddenly remembering something, ¡°Ah... I forgot, Chu Yihan used to like lying on this chair to sunbathe, so I sprinkled itching powder on the chair.¡± ¡°What?¡± Bai Jingya, feeling like she had a run of incredibly bad luck, scratched herself while asking, ¡°Do you have anything to relieve itching?¡± That¡¯s strange, Chu Yihan is so pale, yet he likes sunbathing? Is this man impervious to tanning... ¡°Something to relieve itching? Hmm, it seems I don¡¯t have anything... I¡¯ve only ever made poisons to harm Chu Yihan, never antidotes.¡± Su Ge is a medical student who scored the highest marks in the province and was accepted into the most prestigious Medical University in Rong City. Not only is she gifted in medicine, she is also a skilled pharmacist. ¡°What do I do then?¡± Bai Jingya felt an unbearable itch all over her body, and in the heat of summer, a scratch left a bloody streak. If she kept scratching like this, how could she face anyone? ¡°Let me think, let me think.¡± Su Ge pondered while holding her chin, her gaze slowly shifting to Lotus Pond, and as she observed the brightly colored lotus flowers, her eyes lit up, ¡°Right, lotus leaves!¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Lotus leaves are sweet and cold in nature, having soaked in water for a long time, they can relieve itching and... Ow, Jing Ya what are you doing!¡± Su Ge hadn¡¯t finished speaking when she heard a ¡®splash¡¯, Bai Jingya had jumped directly into the Lotus Pond. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say lotus leaves can relieve itching? I¡¯m trying to relieve the itch...¡± Clearly, Bai Jingya couldn¡¯t stand the itch anymore, and now soaking in the Lotus Pond, her white dress floated up. The Lotus Pond had all colors of lotus flowers, and Bai Jingya had chosen a spot with only white lotuses to jump into. Su Ge hesitated to speak for a moment, then chuckled, ¡°Jing Ya, you look so beautiful soaking in the Lotus Pond, just like the white lotus beside you, pure and unblemished, rising above the mud unsullied, you are the prettiest white lotus in the pond.¡± A few servants, upon hearing the splash, hurried over and hearing Su Ge¡¯s praise, they immediately froze, not daring to move forward. OMG, could the young lady and Ms. Bai really be GL? The young lady is actually saying such affectionate words... ¡°Isn¡¯t ¡®white lotus¡¯ a derogatory term?¡± A servant muttered under their breath. Is the young lady complimenting Ms. Bai or insulting her? Bai Jingya was in no mood to listen to what Su Ge was saying, scratching herself repetitively, ¡°Xiao Ge, why am I still itchy after soaking for so long?¡± ¡°Jing Ya, I didn¡¯t finish what I was saying. This won¡¯t relieve your itching. Lotus leaves need to be picked and boiled into a soup, with coptis, Gentiana, and Gentiana scabra added in. You have to drink it together to relieve itching immediately, otherwise, you¡¯ll still be itchy for at least a week...¡± ¡°What?¡± Bai Jingya¡¯s eyes widened. Even though she piggybacked on her father being the dean and never took her medical studies seriously, she knew that coptis, Gentiana, and Gentiana scabra were famously bitter herbs... Added with lotus leaves, is it even fit for human consumption? Chapter 8 - 8 8 Blatant Seduction ?8: Chapter 8 Blatant Seduction 8: Chapter 8 Blatant Seduction ¡°Come on Jing Ya, I¡¯ll pull you up first.¡± Su Ge walked to the poolside, affectionately reaching out her hand to Bai Jingya. Bai Jingya glanced at her displeasedly and reached out her hand. With a splash, Bai Jingya stood on the shore, the water flowing down her beautiful curves. As soon as she was ashore, Bai Jingya roughly shook off Su Ge¡¯s hand. Just as Su Ge was about to offer some words of comfort, Bai Jingya suddenly looked past her, her whole demeanor softening, her eyes shy and timid, blinking coquettishly. ¡°Jing Ya, did the cold make your eyes twitch?¡± Su Ge looked at her curiously. Bai Jingya glared at her and didn¡¯t say a word, attempting to seduce as she looked behind Su Ge, gently running her fingers through her wet hair. Her white dress clung tightly to her body, flaunting her impressive curves and with the hair-tossing, she was both sensual and provocative. It was then Su Ge realized something was amiss, turned around, and got a shock. ¡°Chu Yihan? When did you get here!¡± Su Ge seemed to react instinctively by spreading her arms in front of Bai Jingya before yelling at Chu Yihan, ¡°Don¡¯t you know it¡¯s rude to stare? You this...¡± Su Ge intended to call him a lecherous scoundrel, a term she frequently used in the past, but now she just couldn¡¯t bring herself to say it. Blocked by Su Ge from displaying her proud curves, Bai Jingya¡¯s face turned rather blue. Chu Yihan had come after hearing someone had fallen into the water. His dark eyes swept over Su Ge, and seeing she was alright, he said nothing. After giving Su Ge a deep look, he silently turned and left. His loner and erect silhouette looked like an untouchable deity in Bai Jingya¡¯s eyes. She looked at Su Ge incredulously, ¡°Do you always talk to Chu Yihan like that?¡± Chu Yihan, the Chairman of the world¡¯s First Financial Group, the Fourth Master from the centuries-old Chu Family in Rong City; and Su Ge dares to order him around like some thing¡ªwhat is she? And he isn¡¯t even angry? ¡°Yeah, Chu Yihan is so annoying. If I don¡¯t talk to him like that, how should I talk to him?¡± Su Ge tugged at the corners of her mouth with a hypocritically friendly smile while looking at Bai Jingya. This damn Bai Lianhua, flirting with her husband right in front of her¡ªhow had she never noticed it before? Was it because she used to despise Chu Yihan so much that she failed to see Bai Jingya had actually tried to seduce him? ¡°Xiao Ge, you¡¯re doing the right thing. With someone like Chu Yihan, you simply can¡¯t submit to his lewdness. The more you submit, the worse off you¡¯ll be.¡± Bai Jingya patted Su Ge¡¯s shoulder with apparent approval. Su Ge smiled and pulled away her hand, ¡°Does it no longer itch?¡± Bai Jingya refused to drink the specially brewed antidote by Su Ge. Even the servants of the Chu family kept their distance. The bitterness could be smelled even from a floor away. Chu Yihan was in his study dealing with documents, Ling Feng covering his nose, looking everywhere for a fan, ¡°Fourth Master, just bear with it for a while, I¡¯ll find something to fan away the smell; it won¡¯t be so pungent.¡± Chu Yihan was signing his name when his fingers, well-defined, suddenly paused, and he lifted his cold eyes, ¡°What are they doing downstairs?¡± Ling Feng had folded a makeshift fan out of discarded A4 paper and was fanning it at Chu Yihan while covering his nose, speaking in a sarcastic tone, ¡°Miss Bai fell into the water, so the Lady is probably worried she caught a cold, making a special effort to brew her some medicine.¡± That¡¯s the medicine, it¡¯s damn bitter. Can that Ms. Bai even stomach it? Chu Yihan¡¯s dark eyes deepened but didn¡¯t ask any more questions. Chapter 9 - 9 9 Deep Emotions, Down in One Gulp ?9: Chapter 9: Deep Emotions, Down in One Gulp 9: Chapter 9: Deep Emotions, Down in One Gulp ¡°Come on, Jing Ya, better a short pain than a long one. We have deep feelings for each other, just drink it all at once.¡± Su Ge personally held the medicine bowl, one hand pressing on Bai Jingya¡¯s head, the other forcefully pouring the medicine into her mouth. No matter how reluctant Bai Jingya was, she couldn¡¯t overcome Su Ge¡¯s ox-like strength. In the end, she guzzled down the entire bowl of black, thick medicine with gulps. As soon as Su Ge let go of her, Bai Jingya immediately started coughing violently, clutching her throat. Looking quite satisfied, Su Ge handed the medicine bowl to the stupefied Chu Family servant and said, ¡°Jing Ya, how do you feel, better now? As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter but cures the disease. I¡¯m doing this for your own good. You don¡¯t blame me, do you?¡± Bai Jingya was coughing so hard that tears were welling up in her eyes, but the look she gave Su Ge was incredibly sharp. Su Ge blinked innocently at her. Bai Jingya felt as if she was suffocating, the breath caught in her chest, unable to go up or down. She rarely had the chance to visit the Chu Family, and now, not having spoken a word to Chu Yihan was one thing, but why must she only encounter such unlucky events? Did she forget to check the almanac before leaving home today? ¡°Jing Ya... Do you know? In order to make that demon Chu Yihan agree to let you come and go as you please at the Chu Family, I almost... almost died.¡± Su Ge suddenly became sentimental, gently wiping the corners of her eyes. Bai Jingya knew about Su Ge jumping into the Lotus Pond to pressure Chu Yihan; Su Ge had always been weak since childhood and had fainted for three days, indeed, she nearly didn¡¯t wake up. Bai Jingya¡¯s fierce gaze immediately softened. She tenderly took Su Ge¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Xiao Ge, what are you talking about? How could I possibly blame you? We are the best of friends. You, me, and Lixuan, we grew up together since we were little; can ordinary people compare with the bond we share?¡± ¡°Lixuan...¡± Knowing that Bai Jingya deliberately brought up Wen Lixuan, Su Ge paused for a moment, as if she remembered something even more saddening and wiped her eyes again. ¡°Ah.¡± Bai Jingya immediately sighed, ¡°It¡¯s clear you and Lixuan were meant to be together. If Chu Yihan hadn¡¯t appeared out of nowhere, Lixuan was even ready to marry you...¡± ¡°What did you say? Lixuan was going to marry me?¡± Su Ge pretended to be surprised. Once, she had always liked Wen Lixuan, but he never showed any interest in her. However, ever since she got together with Chu Yihan, Wen Lixuan started to seem very fond of her. Just like Bai Jingya said, if not for Chu Yihan interfering, Wen Lixuan would have been ready to marry her. Thus, she hated Chu Yihan even more. It was as if Chu Yihan was a demon who had ruined her happiness, deserving to die a thousand times. In reality, it was all their trap. From the very first time Bai Jingya entered the Chu Family, they had been designing her plight. Maybe even earlier¡ª Bai Jingya nodded emphatically, ¡°Yes, Lixuan told me himself, he planned to marry you right after your college graduation. Unfortunately... after Chu Yihan took you away, Lixuan has been heartbroken.¡± Su Ge fell silent, her whole being seeming to sink into grief and anger. This was exactly the effect Bai Jingya wanted. She lowered her voice and whispered into Su Ge¡¯s ear, ¡°Xiao Ge, do you want to see Lixuan?¡± ¡°See Lixuan... How?¡± Su Ge looked surprised, but her eyes remained disturbingly calm. Ever since she was brought to the Chu Family by Chu Yihan, she had tried to run away at least twenty times. Each time, Chu Yihan would turn Rong City upside down until he found her. The last time, fearing that Chu Yihan would find her, she hid directly in the mountains, but then she got lost and couldn¡¯t find her way out. By the time Chu Yihan found her, she was already at death¡¯s door from dehydration. Chapter 10 - 10 10 Delighted ?10: Chapter 10 Delighted 10: Chapter 10 Delighted That time, she completely angered Chu Yihan. In his anger, Chu Yihan restricted her freedom, confining her activities to the Chu Family¡¯s villa area and even forbidding her from attending school. Bai Jingya¡¯s next words were exactly the same as before. In another week, it would be the 80th birthday of Chu Yihan¡¯s grandfather, Grandpa Chu. The Chu Family invited all the prestigious families of South City. Among them was the Wen Family. All she asked was for Chu Yihan to take her to the event so she could see Wen Lixuan. She had once reconciled with Chu Yihan just to see Wen Lixuan. Ultimately, she succeeded in meeting Wen Lixuan. After meeting Wen Lixuan, Su Ge only felt immense guilt towards Chu Yihan. It had been a long time since Bai Jingya left, and Su Ge was still regretting her past actions. Despite Chu Yihan being so genuine towards her, she deceived him, hurt him, and betrayed him time and again. Su Ge, Su Ge, God gave you a second life, perhaps because King Yama didn¡¯t take you and wanted you to atone for your sins before returning? Suddenly, footsteps echoed from the stairs. Su Ge subconsciously turned around and saw Chu Yihan descending the stairs in a suit. His handsome face was flawless, and his noble and cold demeanor exuded an aura of keeping strangers away. Without a second thought, Su Ge stood up and walked towards the staircase. Chu Yihan paused for a moment halfway down the stairs, glancing at Su Ge peripherally¡ªor perhaps he didn¡¯t¡ªbut after a second, he continued downwards. He was probably going out, dressed very formally with one hand casually in his pocket, brushing past Su Ge. ¡°Chu Yihan...¡± Seeing that he completely ignored her, Su Ge couldn¡¯t help but call out his name directly. Chu Yihan paused in his steps, presenting a tall and imposing figure, somewhat overwhelming. Su Ge watched him, her heartbeat quickening. She didn¡¯t even know why she suddenly called him. Perhaps she just didn¡¯t want to be ignored like that... Now that she had stopped him, she didn¡¯t know what to say. Upstairs, Ling Feng had just finished packing the items Chu Yihan needed for the trip. Seeing Chu Yihan stopped by Su Ge, he froze on the spot, not daring to move, and looked downstairs. What trick is the Lady up to now? Su Ge suddenly recalled the scene of Bai Jingya seducing Chu Yihan, she walked up to him and stared straight into the unfathomable man¡¯s eyes, ¡°Maybe... you like girls who wear white dresses and have long, straight black hair?¡± Chu Yihan was stunned for a moment, looking at the hopeful expression on Su Ge¡¯s face. His eyes slightly deepened, and his gaze slowly dropped. Su Ge was wearing a mint green dress, with black hair about ten centimeters below her shoulders, slightly curled ends, perfectly matching her doll-like face. ¡°I don¡¯t like it.¡± Chu Yihan threw out three words without hesitation. Ling Feng had already hurriedly rushed down from upstairs. What twisted scheme is the Lady concocting now? Is she trying to find a faux-innocent girl wearing a white dress and with long straight black hair to seduce Fourth Master? Fourth Master is not that type of person. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s okay now, you can go.¡± Su Ge¡¯s face lifted into a sweet smile, happily turning around to leave. Chu Yihan does not like Bai Jingya¡¯s type. This was the first time Chu Yihan saw Su Ge smile like that, and he involuntarily stiffened. It wasn¡¯t until Ling Feng began urging him, saying they would be late for the plane, that he turned back to glance at the girl curled up joyfully on the couch eating fruit, a flicker of suspicion in his dark eyes. Chapter 11 - 11 11 Seen what should be seen ?11: Chapter 11 Seen what should be seen 11: Chapter 11 Seen what should be seen Ling Feng pondered Su Ge¡¯s words all the way. Just after stepping out of the Chu Family¡¯s residence, he suddenly thought of something, ¡°Eh, wasn¡¯t Ms. Bai, who visited today, wearing a white dress, her hair...¡± Ling Feng didn¡¯t dare to continue, cautiously glancing at Chu Yihan. Chu Yihan paused slightly as he was about to get into the car, then without any reaction, he got into the car. Ling Feng looked back at the Chu Family¡¯s house. The Lady indeed had some ulterior motives. He must be cautious of Ms. Bai from now on. Chu Yihan was away on a business trip for three days. When he returned, Su Ge was the last to know. She was lounging bored by the poolside, sunbathing. Wearing a light purple bikini, her skin glowing white, sparkling and translucent under the sunlight. It was not that she couldn¡¯t tan, but she could only sneak to the poolside to sunbathe whenever Chu Yihan was away, and she was usually covered up at home, so her skin was still pale and white. Su Ge was twenty years old this year, fully developed in all the right places, but because she was quite petite, she looked more like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school student, but once unclothed, her figure was quite impressive. Her full, perky breasts, even while lying down, created a deep cleavage, extremely seductive. Su Ge had a very slim waist, probably even narrower than an A4 paper, and beneath that slender waist were round, perky buttocks. Lying there, she formed a particularly beautiful curve. This was the first time Chu Yihan saw Su Ge dressed like this. Also the first time he observed Su Ge¡¯s figure so directly. His noble and refined face, with eyes that were very dark, bore a hint of a different aura than usual. He quickly suppressed that breath, glanced sideways, and scanned the maid behind him. The maid immediately walked towards Su Ge. ¡°Lady, Fourth Master has returned.¡± ¡°What? He¡¯s back?¡± Su Ge almost reflexively jumped up, raised her head, and saw the handsome and stately man standing by the pool. Less than two meters away from her. ¡°Ah...¡± With a shriek, Su Ge hurriedly clasped her hands over her chest. Chu Yihan¡¯s expression grew heavier, and he looked away. The golden sunshine shimmered in the clear pool water, casting a lustrous shimmer. Su Ge quickly grabbed a swimsuit cover-up beside her and hastily put it on; the thin layer of fabric, though quite transparent, covered what needed to be covered. ¡°When did you get here?¡± Hearing Su Ge¡¯s nervous voice, Chu Yihan slowly shifted his gaze back, ¡°Just arrived.¡± His voice low and husky, very magnetic. ¡°What did you see?¡± Su Ge¡¯s little face flushed red, her big round eyes fixedly staring at Chu Yihan. Chu Yihan was accustomed to Su Ge¡¯s arrogant and unbridled demeanor, and had never seen this side of her. It turns out, when she gets shy, she¡¯s no different from any girl. Chu Yihan¡¯s gaze slowly lowered, and Su Ge instinctively covered her chest even tighter. ¡°Whatever there was to see, I saw.¡± His voice calm. ¡°You...¡± Chu Yihan lifted his phoenix eyes, calmly looking into Su Ge¡¯s eyes. Strangely, besides shyness, there was no trace of anger on Su Ge¡¯s face. The light in Chu Yihan¡¯s eyes deepened a bit, his expression unfathomable. ¡°You admitted it yourself, how will you compensate me?¡± After a moment of her face turning red, Su Ge seemed to decide to face the consequences head-on, lowering her hands from her chest and striding towards Chu Yihan. Chu Yihan looked at her, puzzled. Su Ge walked up to him, looked up and down his perfect physique, ¡°Since you have seen me in a bikini, I want to see you in swimwear too.¡± Chapter 12 - 12 12 Lets Make Up ?12: Chapter 12 Let¡¯s Make Up 12: Chapter 12 Let¡¯s Make Up When the maid mentioned this to Ling Feng, he almost laughed himself breathless. Fourth Master? In a swimsuit? How could he even imagine such a thing? He had been always by Fourth Master¡¯s side, known for his elegant and appropriate attire with never more than three colors, how could something flashy like a swimsuit possibly suit Fourth Master¡¯s demeanor? What on earth was Lady thinking? ¡°What was Fourth Master¡¯s reaction, did he look displeased, was there any hint of disdain in his eyes?¡± Ling Feng asked, struggling to keep his laughter at bay. Why does Lady always like to play on the edge of danger? Fourth Master dotes on her, but that doesn¡¯t mean she can be so willfully capricious. Wanting Fourth Master to wear a swimsuit, no way! ¡°Fourth Master didn¡¯t react, just walked away.¡± After Su Ge finished speaking, Chu Yihan didn¡¯t say a word and just left the pool. ¡°No reaction, just walked away...¡± Ling Feng thought about it deeply while stroking his chin, ¡°Right, Lady always plays her cards unconventionally, often testing the limits. Seems like Fourth Master is already used to it, can¡¯t be bothered with her anymore. Ah, our Fourth Master really has great patience.¡± But such patience is only for Su Ge. Who among those outside knew Fourth Master, would dare be disrespectful towards him? Yet, he really couldn¡¯t understand, other than being beautiful, what¡¯s so special about Su Ge that made Fourth Master treat her differently from everyone else? This question has been bothering Ling Feng since Su Ge entered the Chu Family, pondered for two years without a clear answer, it¡¯s not something that could be figured out in a short time. ¡°It¡¯s okay now, you may go.¡± Ling Feng waved his hand at the servant. Just as the servant stepped back, Ling Feng looked up and saw Su Ge, having changed her clothes, appearing at the doorway of Chu Yihan¡¯s study. His expression immediately froze, and within a second, it was almost his legs that reacted first, rushing upstairs. It was still a step too late, the study door closed the second Ling Feng arrived, almost hitting his nose. Ling Feng, infuriated, punched the door, stopping unexpectedly just 0.1 millimeters away. Then he held his head with both hands, full of regret and self-reproach. It¡¯s all messed up again, the Chu Family is going to be in chaos... Why didn¡¯t he ensure to guard Fourth Master more tightly? Su Ge had Chu Yihan¡¯s permission to enter. Just as she walked in, she felt a gust of wind from behind. Turning her head back, she noticed nothing unusual. Chu Yihan was sitting at the desk, wearing only a white shirt, sleeves rolled up a couple of folds, probably just from working. At this moment, he was doing nothing, just quietly watching Su Ge. A pair of dark phoenix eyes, deep as the ocean. Su Ge was psychologically prepared, but felt inexplicably nervous under Chu Yihan¡¯s gaze. ¡°That... I need to speak to you.¡± Grandpa Chu¡¯s eightieth birthday, she must attend. So, like before, she needs to reconcile with Chu Yihan and get his approval to attend. She didn¡¯t remember being this nervous when doing this previously. Why now, feels so nerve-wracking... ¡°What is it?¡± His low voice, emotionless but magnetic. Taking courage, Su Ge stepped forward to Chu Yihan¡¯s desk and earnestly proposed, ¡°Chu Yihan, let¡¯s reconcile.¡± Those beautiful phoenix eyes seemed to suddenly contract. Chu Yihan¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change much, but Su Ge felt his gaze becoming much sharper, those dark, profound eyes staring at her like a daunting net in the dark night, full of danger and keen scrutiny. Chapter 13 - 13 13 An Unexpected Kiss ?13: Chapter 13 An Unexpected Kiss 13: Chapter 13 An Unexpected Kiss Su Ge silently gave herself a pep talk and looked up intently into Chu Yihan¡¯s piercing gaze, ¡°I¡¯m serious.¡± Chu Yihan didn¡¯t say a word. If Su Ge wasn¡¯t mistaken, the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch, a trace of icy curvature, full of sarcasm. Su Ge wasn¡¯t surprised. During her two years with the Chu Family, she¡¯d always acted recklessly, never once treated him seriously. Suddenly becoming sincere in reconciling with him, she didn¡¯t believe herself. Chu Yihan wasn¡¯t a fool, how could he not know she had an ulterior motive? But the person she is now was different from before. Before, her ulterior motives were meant to harm him. But now, they were to help him. Chu Yihan had become the Chairman of the world¡¯s First Financial Group at such a young age, with too many eyes coveting his position from the outside world. She had once conspired with those people to harm him, but now, she was going to help him eliminate them, one by one. Since God had given her a chance to atone, she obviously wanted to cherish it and change both Chu Yihan¡¯s and her own fate. Suddenly, Chu Yihan got up from his chair, walked around the desk, and advanced step by step towards Su Ge. His steps were heavy, each footfall making Su Ge¡¯s heart jump fiercely. She didn¡¯t dare to retreat and stayed stiff in place, eyes downcast, not daring to meet the closing-in Chu Yihan. Black leather shoes appeared in her view. In shock, Su Ge raised her head and was met with a handsome face so striking it made her want to scream. It was the first time Chu Yihan was this close to her; any closer and their bodies would be touching. Su Ge reflexively wanted to back away, but a large hand landed on her back in time, and she stared at Chu Yihan in a daze, now holding her. ¡°If we¡¯re seriously reconciling, shouldn¡¯t you show some real sincerity?¡± They were so close that his voice sounded right above her head. Su Ge had always known his voice was very pleasant and masculine, but she never thought it could be so enticing. Her ears turned red in an instant; she wanted to pull away, but there was no escape. Chu Yihan watched her for three seconds, seeing no significant reaction, A glint of light flashed in his dark eyes, and he suddenly leaned in, his cool lips gently landing on her slightly agape lips in surprise. With a kiss as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, Chu Yihan was already back sitting at his desk, while Su Ge¡¯s mind was still a blank. She faintly heard him say, ¡°I agree.¡± Without a doubt, like before, he agreed to the reconciliation she proposed. But what was this kiss all about? That didn¡¯t happen the last time... Could it be because her recent behavior has been abnormal, Chu Yihan had let down his guard around her? Or was he testing her? Ling Feng watched Su Ge leave Chu Yihan¡¯s study. He, a living, breathing person, had been successfully ignored; Su Ge didn¡¯t even spare him a glance, heading straight to her own room. Ling Feng didn¡¯t mind not being given any attention by Su Ge; on the contrary, the more she ignored him, the better. Because among all the women he had seen, Su Ge was the most terrifying one. ...Right, was Fourth Master okay? Ling Feng suddenly remembered something, anxious, he pushed open the study door. Chu Yihan sat in front of the desk, documents open, but he was holding a pen and zoning out. The handsome and dignified face had a trace of tenderness, as if savoring something meticulously. ¡°Fourth Master!¡± Ling Feng approached, scrutinizing him from head to toe, ¡°Are you alright?¡± What big event had occurred to put such a look of pleasure on his face? Chapter 14 - 14 14 She Still Has a Conscience ?14: Chapter 14 She Still Has a Conscience 14: Chapter 14 She Still Has a Conscience Upon hearing Ling Feng¡¯s voice, Chu Yihan¡¯s expression immediately returned to one of cold severity. He ignored Ling Feng, bowed his head, and continued to review company documents. Only a few words in, his mind started to wander, and suddenly he lifted his chiseled face. ¡°Did Jianhui Group send someone to inquire about my schedule last month?¡± ¡°More than last month. Since last year, this company has been trying to establish a connection with you, Fourth Master. They send people every month to ask about your schedule. With their swimwear brand doing well, they¡¯ve become too arrogant for their own good. Do you, Fourth Master, meet with just anybody? Rest assured, Fourth Master, you won¡¯t hear from this company again. I will make sure they understand their place.¡± In fact, countless companies attempt to book a meeting with Fourth Master every month, but generally, such requests never reach him. Those that do make it, have employed quite a few tactics. Usually, companies like these meet with no good fate. Dare to use tactics on Fourth Master, who do they think they are, Su Ge? Fourth Master certainly has never been courteous to anyone other than Su Ge. ¡°Clear one hour in my schedule for tomorrow afternoon, arrange a meeting with the head of Jianhui Group.¡± Chu Yihan dropped this sentence and bowed his head to continue with the paperwork. ¡°Ah?¡± Ling Feng¡¯s mouth gaped wide enough to fit an egg. Fourth Master wants to meet with someone from Jianhui Group? That swimwear brand company that just went public last year, they are worthy of meeting Fourth Master? Ling Feng dared not question, nor did he dare disobey Chu Yihan¡¯s orders. But he found Chu Yihan¡¯s behavior extremely unusual. This Jianhui Group... doesn¡¯t match Fourth Master¡¯s level of sophistication. Could it be that Fourth Master... wants to buy swimwear? He must be crazy! He must be insane to even have such a thought about Fourth Master! Fourth Master is definitely not the sort of person who would wear swimwear! Ling Feng turned his head to glance at the tightly closed study door. Nope, even if Fourth Master doted on Su Ge, he wouldn¡¯t lose his principles like this. Su Ge spent the whole afternoon cooped up in her room. It wasn¡¯t until it was almost dinner time that she went downstairs. The kitchen had prepared a lavish dinner, and as Su Ge arrived, the cook was holding a dish, ready to serve. Upon seeing Su Ge, everyone was startled, setting down the dish and bowing their heads, not daring to make a sound. Su Ge observed everyone¡¯s reaction and took a moment to reflect. Having lived in the Chu Family for two years, she had done many detestable things. To make Chu Yihan go hungry, she¡¯d smash the kitchen up during meal times, it seems at least once a month? Judging by this month, it seems to be about that time. So these people think she came to smash the kitchen? Su Ge felt a bit of a headache coming on. In the end, she was reaping what she sowed, she had to bear the consequences. Steeling herself, she walked up to the cooks and started somewhat sheepishly, ¡°Um, the reason I¡¯m here is...¡± ¡°Lady, please show mercy.¡± Before Su Ge could finish, all the cooks knelt before her. Every time the Lady smashed up the kitchen, Fourth Master would get particularly angry. If the kitchen failed to prepare a satisfactory meal for the Lady in time, Fourth Master would drive all the cooks away. Ever since the Lady moved into the Chu Family, the cooks have been changed several times. They did not want to be sent away. ¡°I, um... I¡¯m not here to...¡± Su Ge looked at everyone¡¯s despairing faces, realizing an explanation would be useless; she simply raised her hands in surrender, ¡°Alright, I¡¯m showing mercy, my hands are lifted, can you all stand up now?¡± In the past, she had done everything she could to make Chu Yihan dislike her. In fact, she... still had some conscience left. Chapter 15 - 15 15 Whats Another Cunning Move ?15: Chapter 15: What¡¯s Another Cunning Move? 15: Chapter 15: What¡¯s Another Cunning Move? Several kitchen maids glanced at each other and then lowered their heads. Su Ge helplessly went to support each one, ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ve already said I¡¯ll spare you, I¡¯m not here to wreck the kitchen, you can relax.¡± Each time the kitchen was wrecked, she herself would go hungry, why would she foolishly wreck it when everything is fine? ¡°Lady, you...¡± If the Lady isn¡¯t here to smash things up, what is she here for? ¡°Cough... I, um, I¡¯m here to learn how to make soup.¡± Su Ge muttered the words ¡°make soup¡± particularly softly. A few of the kitchen maids did hear her, they just all thought they must have misheard. The Lady is here to learn how to make soup? Impossible, impossible, the sun may rise from the west, but the Lady couldn¡¯t possibly be so virtuous. Seeing the kitchen maids not speaking, Su Ge touched her nose awkwardly and then brazenly asked, ¡°So, who will teach me?¡± The kitchen maids all looked at her with puzzled faces. ...Teach what? Su Ge¡¯s face instantly darkened, and her voice suddenly rose several decibels, ¡°Making soup, making soup, I want to learn how to make soup, do you understand?¡± News of Su Ge learning to make soup in the kitchen quickly spread throughout the entire Chu Family. Almost everyone in the Chu Family reacted with a change of color. What kind of wild move is the Lady pulling this time? Actually going to learn how to make soup instead of smashing the kitchen. Does the Lady look like someone who would cook soups and broths? Not at all. There must be something more to this! ¡°You! Say! What!?¡± Ling Feng had finally found a moment to sit down and rest, but before his rear end got warm, something happened. ¡°The Lady said she wanted to make soup for Fourth Master to drink...¡± Given Su Ge¡¯s character, the kitchen maids all felt certain there was an ulterior motive behind her making soup. So one of them went specially to report to Ling Feng. ¡°Make... make soup for Fourth Master?¡± Ling Feng gave a laugh but couldn¡¯t really smile. Where was she making soup, it¡¯s more like she¡¯s making poison. ¡°Where is the Lady now?¡± Ling Feng immediately straightened his clothes, deeply anxious, he rose to his feet. Before the kitchen maid could speak, he muttered to himself, ¡°Ah right, since it¡¯s making soup, then she must be in the kitchen, the kitchen.¡± He said this while hurriedly running in the direction of the kitchen. The kitchen maid watched Ling Feng¡¯s retreating back, her frown deepening. The Lady was indeed up to no good. ¡°Is this okay now?¡± Under the guidance of the kitchen maid, Su Ge successfully made a Three Delicacies Soup. Now in the bowl, it actually looked somewhat decent. ¡°Yes, this is fine.¡± The kitchen maid teaching Su Ge to make soup glanced at her, and her gaze no longer carried so much fear. They thought that with the Lady¡¯s temperament, she would be especially impatient making soup. To their surprise, the Lady was very obedient throughout the whole process and followed her guidance to make this Three Delicacies Soup. This side of the Lady, she had never seen before. She seemed... no different from a normal person. No, this kind of Lady, compared to an ordinary person, seems... even more adorable. ¡°So it¡¯s this simple, huh? Soup should be consumed hot, right? Then you guys hurry up and serve it.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Ling Feng stealthily watched the kitchen from outside. Seeing Su Ge walk out, he quickly walked in. ¡°Where is the soup the Lady made?¡± Ling Feng glanced around and his eyes settled on the bowl of Three Delicacies Soup made by Su Ge¡¯s own hands, ¡°Is this it?¡± The kitchen maid nodded her head. Ling Feng leaned in to take a closer look at the soup, then pulled out his phone and made a call, ¡°Emergency situation, catch a lab rat and send it to the kitchen immediately.¡± The kitchen maid understood Ling Feng¡¯s intention and spoke up, ¡°Assistant Ling, I oversaw the Lady making this soup, it should be fine.¡± Chapter 16 - 16 16 Just Want to Be Good to Him ?16: Chapter 16: Just Want to Be Good to Him 16: Chapter 16: Just Want to Be Good to Him Ling Feng gave her a glance but ignored her. Soon, a specially assigned person brought a white mouse from the area where the Chu Family raises them. Ling Feng personally used a test tube to get a drop of Three Delicacies Soup, grasped the mouse by the neck, and forcefully fed the soup into its mouth. He waited for two minutes. ¡°Alright, serve the dishes, Fourth Master must be hungry.¡± Holding the lively white mouse in his arms, Ling Feng waved his hand towards the servants who had been waiting by to serve the dishes. The soup was the last to be served; the kitchen maid who taught Su Ge to make the soup watched the servants take the soup out and breathed a sigh of relief. She said to herself, the soup made by the lady had no problems. In fact, the lady... doesn¡¯t seem as bad as everyone imagines. At most, she¡¯s just a bit unreasonable. Malicious... probably not? ¡°I say, do you know about the lady putting needles in Fourth Master¡¯s pillow?¡± Everyone had left when Ling Feng finally spared the kitchen maid a glance. The kitchen maid¡¯s face suddenly changed. The lady put needles in Fourth Master¡¯s pillow? ¡°In this family, the Fourth Master is your true master, there¡¯s nothing more important than Fourth Master¡¯s life, at any time, you must not lower your guard against those who threaten him.¡± Ling Feng dropped these words and left. On the way to return the white mouse, he gave it a good rub. Chu Yihan only came downstairs after all the dishes were served. Su Ge anxiously waited at the dining table. After reconciling with Chu Yihan previously, she had also proposed to join Grandpa Chu¡¯s 80th birthday banquet at the dining table. However, this time, she even personally made soup to please him. Actually, when pondered, Chu Yihan was quite approachable. Once, she hadn¡¯t done anything special, just spoke to him in a gentle manner, and he agreed. So, as long as she doesn¡¯t deliberately oppose him and treats him well, even without explicitly trying to please him, he seems to always be obliging? Chu Yihan sat down across from Su Ge. The servants standing by the dining table immediately tensed up. God bless, let nothing go wrong. God bless, may the lady have simply made the soup for Fourth Master with no ulterior motives. God bless, may there be no complications during this meal... The servant repeatedly prayed inwardly, almost bringing his hands together. ¡°Yihan.¡± Su Ge suddenly spoke. Ling Feng, who was observing from two hundred meters away, immediately perked up his ears. The lady didn¡¯t drug the soup, she must have other schemes. The matter surely isn¡¯t that simple. Hearing Su Ge call him, Chu Yihan slightly raised his eyes. Su Ge immediately sent a sweet smile, ¡°Yihan, I heard from the kitchen maid that you like drinking Three Delicacies Soup, so I made it especially for you today. Would you like to try it?¡± Chu Yihan stared expressionlessly at her for a few seconds, then slowly shifted his gaze to the Three Delicacies Soup on the table. ¡°This is, made by you?¡± His voice was deep, unemotional. ¡°Yes, yes, made by me personally, the kitchen maids at home can vouch for me.¡± It was her first time making soup and it turned out quite well, Su Ge felt somewhat proud. ¡°Why?¡± Chu Yihan looked at Su Ge enigmatically. Su Ge was taken aback by his question. Why? In truth, she wouldn¡¯t need to make soup for him to agree to let her attend the banquet, but she just wanted to use this opportunity to treat him well. So, there¡¯s no particular reason. Without answering, Su Ge stood up, walked around the table, approached Chu Yihan, took the bowl and plate, and personally served him the soup. ¡°Try my cooking first, see if you like it.¡± Chapter 17 - 17 17 Apologizing to the Lady ?17: Chapter 17 Apologizing to the Lady 17: Chapter 17 Apologizing to the Lady Chu Yihan silently watched her, without refusal. Su Ge scooped a full bowl of soup into the bowl, and seeing Chu Yihan kept watching her, she had an idea, picked up the spoon, gently scooped a spoonful of soup, and carefully brought it to Chu Yihan¡¯s mouth, ¡°Here.¡± The breath of the girl, along with her approach, brought a refreshing and delicate fragrance that no perfume could replace. This fragrance entered his nose, and every limb felt as though it was anesthetized, unable to pull away, hard to extricate oneself. Seeing that Chu Yihan was hesitating to open his mouth, Su Ge thought she might have offended him and silently wanted to withdraw her hand. Just as her hand began to retract slightly, a strong hand clasped onto her wrist. Su Ge was startled, her eyes widening as she looked at Chu Yihan. Chu Yihan held tight to her wrist, slowly pushing the soup spoon forward. Under Su Ge¡¯s gaze, Chu Yihan¡¯s handsome thin lips slightly parted, and a spoonful of soup was completely ingested. Su Ge couldn¡¯t help but swallow twice, before this she had never thought someone¡¯s lips could be so sexy. Thick and full lips, like fresh, tender jelly, irresistibly inviting to be tasted. ¡°The taste is not bad.¡± Chu Yihan indifferently released Su Ge¡¯s hand. ¡°Really?¡± Su Ge looked somewhat delighted. Was her soup acknowledged? Chu Yihan did not speak and lifted his phoenix eyes, deeply gazing at the little woman before him. A gaze that was deep and tender. Su Ge¡¯s expression gradually froze on her face. The last time he looked at her, it was with this same kind of gaze... ¡°Clang.¡± Assistant Ling standing two hundred meters away, even with ears pricked up, couldn¡¯t hear the movement there, but this sound, half of the Chu Family could hear it clearly. Assistant Ling¡¯s face instantly changed, and he ran toward the dining table area. In front of the dining table, there were broken bowls and dishes all over the ground, and almost the entire bowl of soup that Su Ge had filled was spilled on Chu Yihan. At this moment, she stood frozen in front of Chu Yihan, at a loss. ¡°I knew you were up to no good.¡± Assistant Ling angrily pushed Su Ge aside and immediately crouched down to check Chu Yihan¡¯s burn, ¡°Fourth Master, how do you feel?¡± Su Ge, pushed by Assistant Ling, nearly fell, barely managing to stabilize herself with the help of the dining table. She clearly saw the large red burns under the rolled-up shirt of Assistant Ling, and her eyes instantly reddened. How could she... ¡°Get lost!¡± Chu Yihan kicked heavily, and Assistant Ling suddenly rolled far away. He looked up in astonishment, only to see Chu Yihan¡¯s face entirely darkened, with a pair of cold eyes already gloomy to the extreme. ¡°Fourth Master...¡± Assistant Ling didn¡¯t know what he had done wrong. Why was Fourth Master so angry? ¡°Apologize to Lady.¡± A voice without any warmth. Assistant Ling looked somewhat shocked, finally remembering that he had just pushed Su Ge. He immediately turned his gaze towards Su Ge. It was just a light push, did this woman really need to look so pitiful? Fourth Master is that red, and his eyes have not even reddened... Assistant Ling stubbornly turned his head, rarely defying Chu Yihan¡¯s order. Why should he apologize to the person who harmed Fourth Master? ¡°Apologize, or get out of the Chu Family. You choose.¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s face was cold enough to drip water. ¡°Fourth Master...¡± Assistant Ling couldn¡¯t believe what he was hearing. Chu Yihan¡¯s indifferent expression left absolutely no room for negotiation. ¡°I... I¡¯m fine, Assistant Ling doesn¡¯t need to apologize to me.¡± Su Ge eventually snapped out of her daze and interjected, ¡°Assistant Ling, he did it for your good, you...¡± Chapter 18 - 18 18 Back Pain! ?18: Chapter 18 Back Pain! 18: Chapter 18 Back Pain! ¡°Lady, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Before Su Ge could finish her words, Assistant Ling was already standing upright beside her, bending over to apologize. He did not need someone who harmed Fourth Master to plead on his behalf. ¡°Assistant Ling, you...¡± Su Ge looked at him, perplexed. Why was he apologizing? Hearing Ling Feng apologize, Chu Yihan didn¡¯t say anything further and stood up to leave the dinner table directly. Ling Feng hastened to follow, while contacting the family doctor. The abundant dinner had not been touched yet, now only Su Ge was left sitting alone. She couldn¡¯t exactly describe how she felt in her heart. It was understandable why Assistant Ling acted that way towards her just now. Who told her to be so bad in the past... During the height of summer, the lotuses in Lotus Pond were blooming more beautifully with each passing day. Su Ge huddled on the sofa by Lotus Pond for half a day, but she had no mood to appreciate the flowers. She had originally planned to take the opportunity during dinner last night to ask Chu Yihan to attend Grandpa Chu¡¯s eightieth birthday banquet. But in the end, she messed it up. So, when could she find another chance? Chu Yihan had gone out to work early in the morning and it was uncertain what time he¡¯d be back today... Su Ge was really bored, she rolled over on the sofa, planning to lie down in a different position. But as soon as she twisted her body a little, she immediately felt such intense pain that her face contorted. Assistant Ling¡¯s strength was really extraordinary; just a casual push from him, her waist hit the table, and when she returned to her room she found a large bruise on her waist. There was no issue last night, but upon waking up, the pain was so severe she couldn¡¯t straighten her back. She felt much better after applying some medicine in the morning, but it seemed the effect of the medicine had worn off by now. Luckily, she always carried medicine with her. Enduring the pain and stiffness, Su Ge reached into her trouser pocket and felt around, producing a small bottle of medicine. She gently lifted her white T-shirt and then applied the medicine bit by bit to her waist herself. Although no one showed it, she knew the servants in the house did not like her, so it was better for her to do this by herself. After finally applying a circle of medicine all over her waist, Su Ge found a more comfortable position on the sofa to lie down in. The afternoon always felt so soft and fluffy. Su Ge yawned and slowly closed her eyes. Just as her eyes shut, a cold and extraordinary face appeared in front of her. He hooked her neck, his sexy lips inching closer and closer to her. She trembled nervously all over. Suddenly the soup bowl in her hand went ¡°clang!¡± and dropped to the floor. Su Ge startled awake and sat up from the sofa. How was his burn? When he came back, should she first inquire about the burns on his body? Although the burn was mostly his own fault, the bowl had dropped from her hands after all; should she go and ask? Probably he wouldn¡¯t tell the truth even if she did ask. So, should she just lift his shirt and check? No, no... don¡¯t stare at impropriety. But this man had already seen her in a swimsuit, so it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to look at his body, right? ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± As Su Ge was struggling between looking and not looking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her, making her almost tumble off the sofa in fright. Chu Yihan sat down directly on another sofa and after sitting down, turned his gaze towards Lotus Pond. Su Ge glanced at him. When had he come back? Was he here to admire the flowers? After waiting for a while, Chu Yihan was still looking at Lotus Pond. But Su Ge was getting a bit restless and coughed lightly, saying, ¡°That is, I was thinking, how is the place where I burned you?¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t you who burned me.¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s dark eyes swiftly looked over. Chapter 19 - 19 19 A Devilishly Charming Man ?19: Chapter 19: A Devilishly Charming Man 19: Chapter 19: A Devilishly Charming Man Su Ge¡¯s expression stiffened. So the reason he insisted on Assistant Ling apologizing to her yesterday was because he didn¡¯t think he was scalded by her? Thinking back, she really was innocent. If he hadn¡¯t suddenly acted like he wanted to take liberties with her, would she have been so frightened as to drop the bowl? Thus, his burn was all his own doing. Su Ge cleared her throat again and started speaking, ¡°How is the burn you gave yourself?¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s gaze towards Su Ge suddenly turned cold and detached. Su Ge immediately shifted her eyes away, feeling awkward about her question. Chu Yihan seemed to ignore her, his gaze returning to Lotus Pond. Perhaps she owed him too much in the past, and Su Ge always remembered his injury. After hesitating a moment, she mustered up the courage and asked, ¡°Um, could you, let me have a look?¡± Seeing Chu Yihan¡¯s icy gaze turn towards her again, Su Ge quickly explained, ¡°I studied medicine; I¡¯m very experienced in this area. Maybe I could help you recover faster without leaving any scars.¡± Chu Yihan seemed to remember that before he brought Su Ge back to the Chu Family, she was a medical student. At that time, she seemed to be in her first year. Not even graduated from university, yet claiming to be very experienced? Could she possibly be better than professional doctors in his house? ¡°Do you really want to see?¡± Chu Yihan asked meaningfully. Su Ge hadn¡¯t expected this supremely proud man would actually discuss letting her see under his shirt. She quickly nodded her head. ¡°Come here.¡± Chu Yihan shifted his position on the sofa, arms spread open in a welcoming manner. He was only wearing a thin white shirt, with the top two buttons casually undone, and from this position, one could glimpse the delicate collarbones underneath. This man, when seductive, was truly irresistible to women. Unable to help herself, Su Ge swallowed a couple of times, slowly stood up, and tiptoed towards him like a thief. Chu Yihan closed his eyes, Su Ge paused her steps, then quickly walked forward, reaching him in a few long strides. Truly, a face hailed as the most beautiful in Rong City, even with his eyes closed, was incomparably handsome. Those fan-like lashes, dark and slightly curled, enough to make any woman jealous. Flawless skin that made it impossible to pinpoint a single imperfection. She had never seen Chu Yihan use any skincare products. How could his skin be so good? Had God bestowed upon him the most exquisite and perfect face, and also given him a superpower to resist all radiation? His thick lashes trembled slightly. Su Ge got a start and quickly crouched down, her hands gently lifting the bottom of Chu Yihan¡¯s shirt. Tight and smooth skin was revealed, with a hint of abs, but no signs of any burn scar. Huh... As Su Ge wondered where the scar had gone, she felt an intense gaze from above. She looked up, meeting his burning eyes. Today, she was wearing a V-neck T-shirt, and as she bent over, her busty cleavage was fully visible to the person opposite. Su Ge stood up in panic, about to step back when a strong hand suddenly landed on her waist. ¡°Mm...¡± Su Ge winced in pain. Chu Yihan¡¯s expression instantly darkened, his cold and detached gaze falling on her waist. Su Ge quickly moved his hand away and stepped back several steps, staring at him accusingly, ¡°You deceived me.¡± Chapter 20 - 20 20 Lets Call It Even ?20: Chapter 20 Let¡¯s Call It Even 20: Chapter 20 Let¡¯s Call It Even His burn wounds had clearly healed already. Indeed, the soup had cooled down quite a bit by the time it was served from the kitchen yesterday. Although a large patch of his skin turned red and seemed serious, it actually wasn¡¯t that severe. So it only took a day for the marks to completely disappear. Now that he¡¯s all healed, why does he still want her to check on him? Hmph, men really are big liars fond of deception. ¡°You lied to me as well, didn¡¯t you?¡± Chu Yihan looked at her, his face noticeably darker. Su Ge was a bit puzzled, ¡°What did I lie to you about?¡± ¡°You hurt your waist and lied to me that it was nothing?¡± Su Ge thought for a moment, yesterday when she asked Assistant Ling to apologize, she did say it was nothing. Does that count as lying to him? Why does he remember so clearly... ¡°Then let¡¯s call it even...¡± Su Ge frowned slightly as she sat down, her waist pinched by Chu Yihan which started hurting again. Chu Yihan stared at her unblinkingly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious, I¡¯ve applied medicine, it will be healed in a couple of days.¡± Su Ge explained, fearfully that he might worry. ¡°Are all the servants at home just for show?¡± She has to apply medicine herself? Su Ge felt that he was displacing his anger onto the servants, she instinctively said, ¡°I don¡¯t like others touching me.¡± After saying that, she looked at Chu Yihan, whose face was stern and his expression complex. Thinking of the huge reaction when he touched her before, Su Ge felt extremely awkward. Although she used to extremely dislike him touching her, since they reconciled, she did let him touch her... Is he still angry? The look in Chu Yihan¡¯s eyes gradually became filled with doubt and peculiarities. Su Ge opened her mouth wanting to explain more, but couldn¡¯t find the right words. The way she is now compared to before must seem very abnormal, right? It¡¯d be strange if he wasn¡¯t suspicious. Suddenly changing her persona, it would be abnormal for him not to find it strange. How can she make her changes seem less strange? Just as Su Ge pondered over this question, her eyes flickered, she bit her lip and looked away. Chu Yihan, observing her evidently ulterior motives, his gaze deepened, didn¡¯t say a word, and just got up and left. As soon as he walked away, Su Ge collapsed on the sofa like a deflated balloon. This tactic really worked... But, what if she couldn¡¯t bear to hurt him anymore? Even for a moment, she couldn¡¯t bear it... But she couldn¡¯t allow his suspicions about her to deepen. She didn¡¯t want to be seen as someone with ulterior motives in his eyes. Because, she needed his trust. Having committed too many wrongs in the past, she wanted to continue studying medicine to genuinely save people. But now, Chu Yihan won¡¯t let her go to school, she needs to gain his trust and find an opportunity to talk to him earnestly, hoping he would agree to let her return to school. It seems she has to wait until after Grandpa Chu¡¯s eightieth birthday. First, she needs to get Chu Yihan¡¯s agreement to attend the birthday. There are just a couple of days left until Grandpa Chu¡¯s birthday. During dinner, Su Ge cautiously looked up at Chu Yihan, ¡°I want to... attend your grandfather¡¯s birthday.¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s eating paused slightly. ¡°Do you intend to never let me meet your family? Do you want us to continue like this?¡± Su Ge lowered her eyelids, her detached face hid a deep sorrow, ¡°My reconciliation with you is because, I¡¯ve resigned to fate.¡± As she spoke the words ¡®resigned to fate,¡¯ Su Ge¡¯s tone seemed filled with helplessness, but the sorrow in her eyes deepened. I¡¯m sorry, this is the best opportunity. Chu Yihan¡¯s hand holding the utensils trembled slightly. Suddenly, with a ¡°snap¡±, the utensils heavily slammed onto the table. Chapter 21 - 21 21 Do the Opposite ?21: Chapter 21: Do the Opposite 21: Chapter 21: Do the Opposite Ling Feng was startled by the noise, yet he dared only to stretch his neck from a distance to watch, not daring to step closer. This was an order from Chu Yihan. Su Ge trembled all over in fright; she hadn¡¯t expected Chu Yihan to be so angry. The atmospheric pressure inside the room was terrifyingly low, Chu Yihan¡¯s originally merely cold face now covered in a chilling gloom. ¡°Su Ge, do you think that I, as a person, don¡¯t know how to get angry?¡± His words seemed squeezed through his teeth, chilling to the extreme. Su Ge looked up at him in a daze. Chu Yihan doesn¡¯t know how to get angry? No, she never thought that. This man was naturally indifferent, and even a slight displeasure from him was terrifying. How could he not know how to get angry? But it seemed... he rarely lost his temper with her? Having been with him for a decade, she had done all kinds of excessive things, and he had never blamed her. But did that mean she could become spoiled and arrogant because of his indulgence? In her previous life, she had always been spoiled and arrogant. And in this life... Taking a deep breath, Su Ge looked up and met Chu Yihan¡¯s gaze directly, ¡°Do you really want to keep me imprisoned in this golden cage for a lifetime?¡± Ling Feng suddenly shivered on the spot. Strange, why did it suddenly become so cold inside the room? What on earth were Fourth Master and that woman talking about? Ling Feng stretched his neck wishing he could go and see, but sadly Chu Yihan had issued a strict order to keep him and Su Ge at a distance. Without his permission, no approaching was allowed. Ling Feng felt terribly stifled inside; he had only pushed that woman in a moment of urgency for Fourth Master, it wasn¡¯t intentional. Yet he was restricted by Fourth Master from approaching that woman. Making it seem as if he had some ulterior motive towards her. He disdained approaching that woman, he only wanted to protect Fourth Master. That woman was always causing trouble; it was too dangerous for Fourth Master to stay by her side. The entire hall was frozen into ice by Chu Yihan¡¯s chilling, gloomy eyes, and Su Ge, deemed very dangerous by Ling Feng, facing such a gaze at close range, was even more terrified. Could she... still say something to save herself? Before figuring out how to save herself, the man across from her, cold as ice and exuding danger, suddenly stood up. Su Ge¡¯s breath hitched. Her eyes widened in horror. Yet Chu Yihan didn¡¯t even glance at her and turned to leave. Su Ge collapsed in her chair, frightened. She thought he was going to hit her... But on second thought, was Chu Yihan really the type of man who would hit a woman? If he were that kind of person, given her past level of misbehavior, she would have been long dead. Chu Yihan had walked away for quite awhile, yet the air in the room was still chillingly cold. Su Ge sat at the dining table with mixed feelings, occasionally looking up at the study upstairs. Chu Yihan had gone upstairs and directly into it. Ling Feng was now standing guard outside. The light in Su Ge¡¯s eyes flickered; if she kindly told him that she wanted to attend her grandfather¡¯s birthday party, would he really believe that she had good intentions? That would only make him more suspicious of her having ulterior motives. More so than before... By acting contrary, she might reduce his suspicion towards her, making him believe that she was truly trying to reconcile with him. Even if it was out of necessity, even if it was resignation... In her previous life, she owed him too much... In this life, she wanted to repay him, rather than letting him continue to indulge and spoil her unconditionally. But at the moment, for him to be this angry... Alas, life is indeed too difficult. Su Ge raised her hands and desperately rubbed her temples. Chapter 22 - 22 22 Is She a Hungry Wolf ?22: Chapter 22 Is She a Hungry Wolf? 22: Chapter 22 Is She a Hungry Wolf? Chu Yihan¡¯s study light was on all night. It seemed like every time he got angry, he liked to go to the study. Often, he would stay in the study the whole night and only leave for work the next day. Knowing that she had angered Chu Yihan quite severely, Su Ge had been thinking of ways to appease him. Even late into the night, she sat on the living room sofa, causing all the housemaids to dare not rest. Su Ge had already looked up towards the study on the second floor for the five hundred and eightieth time. She might develop cervical spondylosis from all this looking. Had his anger subsided a little? Could she go up now? She was afraid that if she rashly went now, it wouldn¡¯t be petting but rather running headlong into the muzzle of a gun. If Chu Yihan really beat her in a fit of rage, her slender arms and legs would suffer¡ªnone of it would be worth it. Just as Su Ge was pondering over an appropriate reason to go upstairs and smooth things over, a maid walked up with coffee in hand. Su Ge¡¯s eyes brightened. ¡°Hey, wait a moment.¡± The maid stopped on the stairs at the sound, glanced at Su Ge, then quickly lowered her head again. It seemed like all the maids in the house were quite afraid of her. Su Ge tried her best to smile warmly to look approachable, ¡°Are you bringing Fourth Master his coffee?¡± ¡°Yes...Yes, I am.¡± The maid¡¯s head was buried even lower, her voice already trembling. Su Ge¡¯s smile slightly stiffened. Did she look more horrifying when she smiled? Su Ge put away her smile, ¡°Give it to me; I¡¯ll take it to him.¡± ¡°Lady...¡± The maid looked up in alarm. ¡°What, are you afraid I¡¯m going to poison Fourth Master?¡± ¡°No... It¡¯s not that...¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s not, just give it to me, otherwise...¡± Before Su Ge could finish her words, two streams of tears immediately rolled down the maid¡¯s face. Eh, are people nowadays so easily frightened? Or had she unwittingly become that terrifying in everyone¡¯s eyes? Su Ge didn¡¯t like tears and wasn¡¯t good at comforting others, so she directly took the tray from the maid¡¯s hands. The maid dared not refuse, her face filled with despair. As if it were a matter of life and death either way. A sense of helplessness flashed through Su Ge¡¯s heart as she took the coffee and walked towards Chu Yihan¡¯s study. Ling Feng had been standing guard outside Chu Yihan¡¯s study all along, standing so straight, and Su Ge noted that he hadn¡¯t moved an inch in two hours. On closer inspection, Ling Feng had indeed fallen asleep. Truly, heaven was helping her. Su Ge cautiously avoided Ling Feng and then gently opened the study door. Chu Yihan was sitting at his desk, his head bowed and brows furrowed as he carefully reviewed documents. The warm yellow light shone on his handsome face, adding a new level of charm to his already striking appearance. They say a man who is focused on his work is the most charming, and though his brows were slightly furrowed at the moment, the unparalleled aura emanating from him made Su Ge swallow her saliva uncontrollably. ...What was with her? Why did she keep salivating at the sight of Chu Yihan? Was she a hungry wolf? While questioning herself, Su Ge¡¯s feet uncontrollably moved closer to Chu Yihan. The scent of coffee wafted through the room, and Chu Yihan probably thought it was one of the maids, as he continued to review documents intently without any distraction. Su Ge gently placed the tray on the table, then carefully took out the coffee and slowly set it beside Chu Yihan. Just as the coffee was set down, Chu Yihan suddenly looked up. Su Ge was startled to the point of going pale and instinctively turned to walk out. ¡°Stop right there.¡± Before she could take two steps, a cold command came from behind her. After being stopped, Su Ge remembered that she had finally found an opportunity to see Chu Yihan¡ªwhy was she running away? Chapter 23 - 23 23 Stolen Kiss ?23: Chapter 23 Stolen Kiss 23: Chapter 23 Stolen Kiss Forcing herself to turn around, Su Ge squeezed out an extremely forced smile towards Chu Yihan, ¡°Is there something you need?¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Chu Yihan rarely laughed. But his smile was chillingly cold. Su Ge¡¯s mouth twitched. She knew it was a bit silly of her to bring him coffee this late at night, but did he really need to mock her so blatantly? ¡°What do you want to do?¡± The sneer having passed, Chu Yihan¡¯s already dark expression became even more somber. Scratching her head awkwardly, Su Ge said, ¡°Nothing much, just couldn¡¯t sleep, and saw the servant bringing you coffee. Just wanted to see what you were doing this late...¡± ¡°Lost sleep because you have too much on your conscience?¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s expression turned even colder as he listened to her stammer. Su Ge¡¯s eyes widened slightly. ...So, by that logic, him being up so late without sleep was also because he had too much on his conscience? Su Ge shrank her neck and pretended not to understand the sarcasm in Chu Yihan¡¯s words, ¡°I¡¯m just having a bit of insomnia. How about you? Haven¡¯t finished work?¡± Su Ge glanced at the mountain of documents on his desk. ¡°Come here.¡± Chu Yihan looked at her and spoke. ¡°Huh?¡± Su Ge was clueless. Outside, the moonlight was bright, shining through the window into the study, as the handsome man and the pretty girl gazed at each other. There was a vague collision of something in the air. Su Ge lowered her eyelids first and obediently walked over to Chu Yihan. Chu Yihan gave her a glance, then extended his clearly-defined fingers, slowly placing them on her waist. Su Ge couldn¡¯t believe his actions. He lightly grasped the corner of her T-shirt and started lifting it up. A chill breeze blew across the waist, turning Su Ge¡¯s face an instant shade of red. What what what is he doing? ¡°Is the injury better?¡± Chu Yihan only spared it a glance before letting go of Su Ge¡¯s clothes. Su Ge was dumbfounded. It took her a while to remember the incident from a few days ago when Assistant Ling gave her a push and she bruised her waist. ¡°It¡¯s better, it¡¯s long been better.¡± So he was checking her injury. ¡°Now that it¡¯s better, why the insomnia?¡± Chu Yihan frowned as he looked at Su Ge. Su Ge was stunned once more. So, he thinks her insomnia is related to her injury? Impossible, that superficial wound of hers healed in a day. But... Gazing into Chu Yihan¡¯s inscrutable eyes, Su Ge asked thoughtfully, ¡°Do you really want to know?¡± Chu Yihan didn¡¯t answer, but the look in his eyes deepened. ¡°Because...¡± Su Ge mustered her courage, and after brewing for approximately ten seconds, she gently lowered her face, and her rosy lips tenderly pressed against the man¡¯s thin lips. A kiss so light and quick it was like a warm breeze slipping in through the window in the dead of night. Chu Yihan¡¯s expression instantly froze. He sat there motionless. ¡°Because I miss you, I can¡¯t sleep.¡± Su Ge¡¯s heart was racing. She never thought she¡¯d have the courage to say such a thing in front of Chu Yihan. But having upset him so much today, she had to go for broke. Yet Chu Yihan¡¯s reaction still took her by surprise. Could it be that he could be startled too? ¡°I won¡¯t disturb your work, I¡¯ll go out first...¡± Su Ge thought it best to slip away before he could react. Ling Feng had already woken up and clearly noticed Su Ge entering the study; as soon as she left, she was met with Ling Feng¡¯s furious gaze. Startled by him, Su Ge didn¡¯t say a word and hurried towards her own room. Ling Feng looked at her with suspicion. What did she do to Fourth Master again? Chapter 24 - 24 24 Custom Suit ?24: Chapter 24 Custom Suit 24: Chapter 24 Custom Suit Is it not enough to have made Fourth Master too angry to sleep? Ling Feng glanced back at the study door. Hesitantly, he walked over, about to knock when the study door swung open. Chu Yihan was behind the door. ¡°Fourth Master.¡± Ling Feng was so startled that he immediately withdrew his hand. Those unaware would think he was about to strike Fourth Master. How would he dare to do such a thing? But from Fourth Master¡¯s demeanor, it didn¡¯t look like he was upset. In the dead of the night, his face was still glowing with health. Chu Yihan ignored Ling Feng, stepping out and swiftly glanced around the upper and lower floors. No sign of Su Ge in sight. She fled quite fast. ¡°What is Fourth Master looking for?¡± Ling Feng followed Chu Yihan¡¯s gaze. An empty corridor, and at its end was that woman¡¯s bedroom. Could Fourth Master be looking for that woman? ¡°Nothing much.¡± Chu Yihan turned and walked towards the other end of the corridor. Ling Feng watched his move joyfully¡ªwas Fourth Master finally going back to sleep? That was excellent... He could finally rest! God knows how much he suffered every time he stayed up late with Fourth Master. Therefore, he grew even more resentful towards the woman who caused Fourth Master¡¯s sleepless nights. Ling Feng turned and glared fiercely at Su Ge¡¯s room before heading back to his own. Su Ge curled up on the bed in her bedroom, shaking uncontrollably as she clutched the covers. She actually kissed Chu Yihan... And said those words to him. Ah, it was the dream of so many women. And she had made it come true! It was exhilarating... Su Ge was so excited that she hardly slept all night. The next day, she crawled out of bed quite late. In the midsummer season, the bright sunshine filled the Chu Family courtyard. By the time Su Ge came downstairs, Chu Yihan had already gone to work, and last night seemed like a dream. After all the excitement of the night, she seemed to have drained all her energy, looking rather languid at the moment. The day after tomorrow was Grandpa Chu¡¯s birthday banquet. Chu Yihan still hadn¡¯t agreed to let her attend. Nor had she prepared a dress. What to do? Su Ge raised her hand to scratch her messy hair, her head aching. ¡°Lady, the chief designer from DY has been waiting for you for a long time.¡± As soon as Su Ge descended, a servant waiting downstairs promptly approached her. ¡°What?¡± Su Ge¡¯s hand, which was clutching her unkempt hair, froze. DY... Chief designer? What for? ¡°Hello, I am Linda, the chief designer of the DY Group. I am now your personal designer, Miss Su. Is it convenient for you to let me take your measurements?¡± Su Ge had been slow to react, but seeing Linda, she recalled DY, this well-known haute couture brand both domestically and internationally. ¡°You are... designing a dress for me?¡± Su Ge was somewhat incredulous. Was this Chu Yihan¡¯s way of agreeing to let her attend the banquet? Linda smiled warmly, ¡°Yes, Miss Su, we need to tailor a dress for you in one day. Time is of the essence, Miss Su, could you please cooperate as much as possible?¡± Linda had heard about the little pampered wife that Chu Yihan kept by his side. Said to be quite formidable. So much so that Chu Yihan dared not approach other women when outside. If it weren¡¯t for the extremely urgent nature of the dress design, she wouldn¡¯t dare speak in such a manner. She had no other choice. If she could not tailor a satisfying dress for Miss Su within one day, she would lose her job. She must seize every minute and give it her all. Su Ge didn¡¯t need Linda to tell her how urgent the timing was. Even tailoring a dress in one day seemed impossible to her. What kind of absurd request was this? Chapter 25 - 25 25 Preparing Gifts ?25: Chapter 25 Preparing Gifts 25: Chapter 25 Preparing Gifts This also sufficiently indicates that before this, Chu Yihan had no intention of letting her attend the banquet. Su Ge felt some heartache for the young designer in front of her, ¡°Okay, I will fully cooperate with you.¡± ¡°Thank you very much.¡± Linda¡¯s eyes turned red. After collecting all the data on Su Ge, Linda left Chu Family. Su Ge sat by the Lotus Pond, propping up her chin and zoning out. She once attended Grandpa Chu¡¯s birthday banquet, and Chu Yihan only sent someone to bring a dress over an hour before the banquet. This time, why did they arrange for someone to tailor a dress for her? Was her effort...perhaps showing a bit of effect? In fact, she had always been curious as to why Chu Yihan kept her by his side... Wen Lixuan once said, the person who really saved her from the fire that year was Chu Yihan. Then, before the fire, had she and Chu Yihan met? The golden sunlight shone into the Lotus Pond, making the colorful lotus flowers sparkle. Su Ge suddenly remembered that she was going to attend Grandpa Chu¡¯s birthday banquet, but she hadn¡¯t prepared any gift for the Old Master. She once attended the banquet only to meet Wen Lixuan, and although now she was also attending for Wen Lixuan, the significance was altogether different. Although she and Chu Yihan were not legally married, everyone in Chu Family called her ¡®Lady¡¯, and Grandpa Chu was naturally her grandpa too. Going to grandpa¡¯s banquet, of course, she needed to prepare a gift. But she had no money, and her movements were restricted, how could she prepare a gift? Su Ge felt it was unlikely to ask Chu Yihan for permission to go out and buy a gift now. Having just asked for a favor, it would seem greedy to ask for more¡ªattracting trouble, right? Thinking it over, apart from Chu Yihan, it seemed that Ling Feng had relatively more freedom to come and go. Maybe... she should ask Ling Feng to buy a gift? Su Ge secretly made up her mind. Coincidentally, not long after Su Ge resolved to do so, Ling Feng returned home. It seemed that he came back to get something for Chu Yihan and walked straight upstairs after coming home. Su Ge quickly called out to him, ¡°Assistant Ling.¡± Ling Feng stopped on the staircase, turned around, and frowned at Su Ge, ¡°Lady, if there¡¯s anything, you should directly ask Housekeeper Wu.¡± Housekeeper Wu was in charge of the miscellaneous affairs for the Chu Home, while he was only responsible for Fourth Master. ¡°Why ask Housekeeper Wu when I need your help?¡± Su Ge wasn¡¯t unaware of his dislike toward her. But his dislike was due to his loyalty to Chu Yihan, so she minded it not. After all, Su Ge was still the lady of this house, and Ling Feng didn¡¯t dare disregard her, and although reluctant, he still came down the stairs. ¡°What do you need, Lady?¡± Su Ge didn¡¯t beat around the bush, ¡°Well, you should know that the day after tomorrow is Grandpa Yihan¡¯s birthday, right? I¡¯d like you to help me buy some gifts for grandpa.¡± ¡°Do you need to go to Chu Garden?¡± Chu Garden is the official residence of the Chu Family and the venue for the birthday banquet. This woman going to Chu Garden, is she trying to annoy the Old Master? ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Su Ge smiled innocently. Where could Ling Feng dare to say there was a problem, but he still couldn¡¯t believe it, ¡°Did Fourth Master agree?¡± The Old Master wasn¡¯t in good health. This woman causing trouble, going to see the Old Master, don¡¯t be kidding. ¡°Of course.¡± Su Ge nodded affirmatively. Seeing Ling Feng still looked incredulous, Su Ge helplessly said, ¡°You can go ask, why would I lie to you about this?¡± Ling Feng also felt that there was no need for this woman to deceive him. If Fourth Master hadn¡¯t agreed, how would she have had the chance to cause trouble outside? Chapter 26 - 26 26 How Could It Be Your Turn for Such Good Fortune ?26: Chapter 26: How Could It Be Your Turn for Such Good Fortune? 26: Chapter 26: How Could It Be Your Turn for Such Good Fortune? What exactly is the Fourth Master thinking? Ling Feng is increasingly unable to understand Chu Yihan¡¯s thoughts. Despite knowing what kind of personality this woman has, Fourth Master still dared to bring her to Chu Garden. ¡°Uh, I¡¯m out of money right now, can you cover for me first? I will pay you back when I have money.¡± Su Ge was somewhat embarrassed. But she was certain that Ling Feng probably wasn¡¯t short of money. After all, he works for Chu Yihan and is a highly favored person by Chu Yihan¡¯s side; Chu Yihan would not mistreat him. Covering the cost for some gifts temporarily, he probably wouldn¡¯t refuse, right? ¡°Lady, I can¡¯t handle this task for you. I need to deliver very important documents to the Fourth Master right now. As for buying gifts, it¡¯s better to wait for Fourth Master to return and discuss this matter directly with him.¡± Ling Feng outright refused without even thinking about it. It¡¯s not because he disliked Su Ge and wouldn¡¯t help her, but because they couldn¡¯t make decisions regarding anything related to Su Ge on their own. Without Fourth Master¡¯s approval, he had no right to help her purchase gifts. Furthermore, this woman is too dangerous. If the gifts she asked him to buy were to harm Mr. Chu, wouldn¡¯t he get involved for no reason? He definitely wouldn¡¯t dare take on such a hot potato. ¡°Assistant Ling, the stuff I want to buy is very simple, you only need to spare half an hour to buy them, could you please help me with this?¡± If she could discuss it with Chu Yihan, why would she need to ask others? It¡¯s precisely because she knows Chu Yihan won¡¯t lift the ban on her, so she asked Ling Feng. And the things she wanted to buy were simple. The Old Master was not in good health; she wanted to prepare some medicinal treatments for him herself, and also make a Medicine Pillow as a gift. After all, the Old Master lacked nothing materially, so she could only offer a gift of health. ¡°What do you want to buy?¡± Ling Feng looked at Su Ge thoughtfully. What exactly was she planning? ¡°Wait a second.¡± Su Ge went to the coffee table to find paper and pen, then quickly wrote a prescription and handed it to Ling Feng, ¡°Go to the pharmacy, get the medicine according to this prescription. I¡¯ve heard that Grandfather¡¯s health isn¡¯t very good, I¡¯ll send him some nourishing medicinal products as gifts, and then hand-make a Medicine Pillow to send to him. You don¡¯t need to buy the fabric for the Medicine Pillow; I¡¯ll ask Linda for some. Just spare some time to help me buy these medicines, thank you, Assistant Ling.¡± The day after tomorrow is Chu Yihan¡¯s grandfather¡¯s birthday, Su Ge is really anxious. Even when asking for favors, one shouldn¡¯t be too aggressive. As long as Assistant Ling is willing to spare the time to help her buy them, she would be very grateful. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll deliver the documents to the Fourth Master first.¡± Ling Feng took the prescription, a glint of light briefly flashing in his eyes as he headed upstairs. Representing absolute authority, the world¡¯s number one First Financial Group¡¯s Z country office building is located right in front of Rong City¡¯s most famous and iconic location, Red Beach. Seen across the grand lake, the 300-meter-tall building¡¯s imposing stature is as breathtaking as a rocket shooting straight into the sky, incredibly spectacular. On the thirtieth floor of the building, in an office predominantly in cool tones and spanning one hundred fifty square meters, a man with a cold demeanor sat, his fingers well-defined clutching a piece of paper, slightly lost in thought. ¡°Fourth Master, should I immediately make a copy of this prescription for verification?¡± Ling Feng, not knowing much about medicine, thought it necessary to verify the prescription coming from Su Ge¡¯s hand. Chu Yihan didn¡¯t respond for a long while. When he eventually did, he simply took the prescription and stood up from the sofa. Ling Feng looked at him puzzled, ¡°Fourth Master, you don¡¯t need to personally handle this kind of matter, just leave it to me.¡± ¡°Do you think you deserve to handle such good deeds?¡± Chapter 27 - 27 27 Chu Yihan… Smiled ?27: Chapter 27 Chu Yihan... Smiled? 27: Chapter 27 Chu Yihan... Smiled? Chu Yihan dropped those words and left. Leaving Ling Feng in total disarray. Good...good news? How was that considered good news at all! When that woman gave him the medicine recipe, he really got a fright. Why would she give the Old Master something like medicine? If the Old Master had an adverse reaction, wouldn¡¯t that woman drag him down with her? But, what was Fourth Master doing anyway? There is a meeting to attend later on! Su Ge first contacted Linda to get some soft silk, and Linda promised to find it and have it delivered by today. Looking at the brilliant sunshine outside, Su Ge then ran to the Lotus Pond and carefully selected a few of the freshest lotus flowers, then stooped down by the pond to pick them. She walked back to her room elated with the lotus flowers, only to get startled as soon as she entered the hall. Her face a picture of horror, she looked at the man sitting on the sofa, ¡°You...when did you come back?¡± While speaking, Su Ge subconsciously hid the lotus flowers behind her back. Finished, now that this person saw her picking the lotus flowers from the house, wouldn¡¯t he think that her ¡°madness¡± had flared up again, and in a fit of anger, forbid her from attending Grandpa Chu¡¯s birthday feast? Yet, Chu Yihan¡¯s expression remained very calm; it seemed like he was waiting for her specially. As soon as he saw her, he stood up lightly and walked towards her with long strides. With every step he took forward, Su Ge instinctively took a step back. It was almost by the door that she stopped. Her eyes, which shone like stars, stared nervously at Chu Yihan without blinking. What...what was he going to do? ¡°Don¡¯t you always love lotus flowers? How could you bear to pick them?¡± Chu Yihan stopped in front of Su Ge, his dark, profound eyes thoughtfully observed her. Su Ge was wearing a white dress today; her already fair skin was accentuated by the dress, making her appear even more flawlessly pale. Especially the moment she entered holding the lotus flowers, she seemed like a fairy that had descended to the mortal realm, an unreal beauty. Indeed, Su Ge liked lotus flowers, ever since they bloomed she would sit by the Lotus Pond every day. But no matter how much she liked them, good lotus flowers were also top-notch medicinal ingredients. Su Ge subconsciously said, ¡°This is for making tonics for Grandpa...¡± Before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized she had misspoken and clamped her mouth shut instantly. Watching her cute little gesture, Chu Yihan¡¯s lips curled into a slight smile. Su Ge saw his ice-melting smile and was instantly dumbstruck. Chu Yihan...smiled? He was smiling? Having interacted with Chu Yihan for ten years, she seemed never to have seen him smile. And now, he actually smiled? ¡°Are you preparing a gift for Grandpa?¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s smile disappeared in a flash, his face quickly became solemn again, and his eyes looking at Su Ge contained a bit of inquiry and judgement. ¡°Did Assistant Ling tell you?¡± Su Ge finally understood why Chu Yihan had suddenly come back. Ling Feng indeed only showed loyalty to Chu Yihan. But she had indeed asked Ling Feng to prepare a gift for his grandfather; he wouldn¡¯t get mad, right? Failing to spot the slightest abnormality in Su Ge¡¯s clear eyes, the suspicion in Chu Yihan¡¯s eyes slowly faded, and he calmly said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it more sincere to pick gifts yourself?¡± ¡°What...what?¡± Even as she got into Chu Yihan¡¯s car, Su Ge couldn¡¯t believe that Chu Yihan was actually taking her out to buy a gift. She checked the car over and over again from front to back, from left to right; other than the driver in the front and Chu Yihan beside her, there was no one else. Not even Ling Feng had come along. Chapter 28 - 28 28 Indeed, Men Who Swipe Cards Are the Most Handsome ?28: Chapter 28: Indeed, Men Who Swipe Cards Are the Most Handsome 28: Chapter 28: Indeed, Men Who Swipe Cards Are the Most Handsome Su Ge¡¯s heart was pounding fast. The driver stopped the car and turned off the engine in about five seconds. She could completely seize the opportunity and rush out the door in three seconds. Rong City¡¯s largest pharmacy was located in the city center. Although it was a working day and there shouldn¡¯t be many people, she could easily avoid Chu Yihan and the driver with the help of pedestrians and obstacles. Therefore, she just needed to... Su Ge¡¯s thoughts suddenly halted. What, what was she thinking? ¡°Is it very hot?¡± A magnetic voice rang in her ear. Su Ge shuddered, touched her forehead, and realized it was covered in sweat. She glanced nervously at Chu Yihan, but seeing his calm expression and his delicate phoenix eyes not betraying any suspicion, she felt slightly relieved, ¡°No, it¡¯s not hot.¡± At the same time, she incessantly despised herself. She was indeed inhuman. Chu Yihan trusted her so much, and yet she was secretly thinking about how to run away. Truly a white-eyed wolf that couldn¡¯t be tamed! ¡°How did you know that Grandfather is unwell?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Was he curious why she was giving tonic herbs to the Old Master? Su Ge smiled slightly, ¡°Usually, when people reach a certain age, their bodily functions deteriorate and they are prone to various problems. Grandfather is eighty, and his body definitely needs good nourishment. After all, I am a medical student, so I have some knowledge in nourishment. Giving Grandfather some tonic herbs is firstly something he certainly could use, and it also represents my genuine intentions.¡± With the Chu Family¡¯s vast financial resources, Chu Yihan¡¯s grandfather certainly lacked nothing. Whatever valuable thing she could gift would hardly catch his eye. It would be better to give something that could represent her sincerity, which Old Master might like. Another reason was that she was short of money, and it didn¡¯t seem appropriate to use Chu Yihan¡¯s money to buy expensive gifts. ¡°I remember, you haven¡¯t finished college yet?¡± A medical student indeed, but only a half-baked one, right? Speaking of this made Su Ge a bit upset: ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that be because of you...¡± Facing Chu Yihan¡¯s deep dark eyes, Su Ge didn¡¯t dare continue. It was because he wouldn¡¯t let her go to school that she hadn¡¯t graduated. Otherwise, she would be a junior this year and it would be time for her to go out for an internship. She had once been the top scorer in the province to be admitted to Rong City¡¯s most famous Medical University. With her talent, she would surely find a good job after college and become a fine doctor. Chu Yihan said no more, his handsome features darkening slightly. Su Ge didn¡¯t dare to speak either. Now wasn¡¯t the time to discuss with him. After the Old Master¡¯s birthday celebration, she would discuss with him in earnest about letting her return to school. The Rolls Royce stopped outside Yishou Hall. Su Ge and Chu Yihan got out of the car together and walked in side by side. Chu Yihan was a top genius in finance but had no knowledge of pharmacology. Watching Su Ge pick and choose among the medicines, occasionally sniffing them close to her nose, her professional appearance was utterly unlike her usual careless demeanor. She had once entered Rong City Medical University with extremely high scores; medicine, it must be her greatest passion. A glint flashed in Chu Yihan¡¯s eyes, his expression deep in thought. ¡°I have picked them.¡± Su Ge, holding a bunch of packed herbs, walked towards Chu Yihan. Chu Yihan, understanding implicitly, silently walked over to pay. ¡°A man using a card really is the most handsome.¡± Su Ge felt that the action of Chu Yihan taking out his card from his pocket was simply cool. Chu Yihan gave her a light glance, his gaze slightly deep. Chapter 29 - 29 29 Buy, Buy, Buy ?29: Chapter 29: Buy, Buy, Buy 29: Chapter 29: Buy, Buy, Buy After properly storing all the herbs, Su Ge took the initiative to sit in the car, ready to go home. Who knew that Chu Yihan would walk around to her side and open her car door. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Chu Yihan really is tall, Su Ge thought as she sat in the car looking up at him, he seemed like a giant. ¡°Come out, let¡¯s go for a stroll.¡± ¡°Stroll... stroll where?¡± Su Ge thought she had heard wrong. ¡°Shopping.¡± Don¡¯t all girls like to go shopping? Su Ge felt oddly reluctant to agree as she looked at his imposing demeanor. Why would he take her shopping out of the blue? It doesn¡¯t seem like his personality to enjoy shopping, right...? Before she could refuse, Chu Yihan reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her out of the car. After dragging her out, he took her straight to go shopping. Su Ge¡¯s gaze stayed fixed on his hand gripping hers tightly, as if an electric current was passing through his hand, making her whole body tingle. Yishou Hall is the largest pharmacy in Rong City, located on the busiest commercial street in the downtown area, featuring many luxury brands. Su Ge didn¡¯t want to make Chu Yihan spend money, but he seemed to love the feeling of swiping his card, spending tens to hundreds of millions in every store. In every store they entered, anything Su Ge glanced at, he would definitely instruct the clerk to wrap it up. As a result, later on, Su Ge walked with her head down, daring not to look at anything. In the end, they bought so many items that Ling Feng had to drive a car over just to carry them. Su Ge would never forget the sharp look Ling Feng gave her, as if she had concocted some bewitching soup for Chu Yihan, making him spend so insanely on her. Su Ge felt wronged in her heart¡ªshe had only said that men who swipe cards are the coolest. Could it be... he took her shopping just because of that remark? That¡¯d be way too capricious... With those piles of items, where would she use them all when she¡¯s home every day? By the time they headed back, it was nearly dark. The evening sky of midsummer is always the most splendid, the bright red afterglow dying the entire Rong City in a reddish hue. Su Ge sat in the car feeling constrained, having spent so much of Chu Yihan¡¯s money today, she was quite uncomfortable. They say you owe something to those who feed you and to those whose gifts you accept. Since Chu Yihan bought her so many things, didn¡¯t she have to show some kind of appreciation? After much thought, she had nothing substantial to offer, but maybe a sincere thank you would be appropriate? Even though she was forcefully dragged to buy things by Chu Yihan... Su Ge composed herself, turned her head, and looked at Chu Yihan. Just then, Chu Yihan was also looking at her, with the car window open, the sky awash with the glow of the sunset, his handsome features almost too good to be true. Su Ge found herself unable to speak, silently swallowing twice. Their eyes met, and Chu Yihan¡¯s deep black pupils suddenly glowed with intensity. ¡°Um, today... mm...¡± Just as Su Ge managed to overcome her nerves to speak, Chu Yihan suddenly leaned in close, pressing his lips fiercely against hers. Su Ge instinctively leaned back, but Chu Yihan didn¡¯t give her a chance, his hand pressing on the back of her head, deepening the kiss. The two had been together for ten years, but they always interacted like enemies, even living at opposite ends of the corridor, never this close. Right now, Su Ge¡¯s mind was blank, Chu Yihan¡¯s kiss was fierce and passionate, like a victorious warrior returning home, forcefully prying open her teeth, sweeping away all the fragrance beneath the city gate. After the prolonged kiss, Su Ge was panting heavily in the car. Chu Yihan, on the other hand, seemed unfazed, his gaze casually turning away to look outside the window, his expression inscrutable. Chapter 30 - 30 30 Making a Medicine Pillow ?30: Chapter 30 Making a Medicine Pillow 30: Chapter 30 Making a Medicine Pillow Su Ge finally caught her breath, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and her face turned red as she looked at Chu Yihan. Seeing Chu Yihan staring out of the window, she felt too embarrassed to say anything and acted as if nothing had happened, quietly bowing her head. A strange sense of loss welled up in her heart. When they got back to the Chu Family house, Linda had already had the silk delivered to the living room. Su Ge picked it up and felt it; the material was very soft, perfect for making a Medicine Pillow. But Linda was too generous; she instructed only two meters of silk, yet Linda sent over a dozen meters. One Medicine Pillow wouldn¡¯t need so much silk; wasn¡¯t this too wasteful? While Su Ge was worrying, she inadvertently looked up and saw Chu Yihan, who was playing with his phone on the sofa, put it down and tiredly rubbed his brow. A thought crossed Su Ge¡¯s mind; maybe, she should make a Medicine Pillow for him too? Chu Yihan¡¯s health was indeed not very good; he had been hospitalized several times, and although it might have been due to her angering him, if his constitution was stronger, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have encountered such severe issues. So, it was necessary to take care of his body in advance. Perhaps Su Ge was staring at Chu Yihan for too long; his gaze suddenly shifted towards her. Su Ge, frightened, immediately bowed her head and instructed the servants to bring the silk to her room. ¡°Fourth Master, Lady, dinner is ready.¡± At that moment, a servant from the kitchen came to report. Chu Yihan withdrew his gaze, got up from the sofa, and walked briskly toward the dining room. Perhaps because she had been quite active today, Su Ge was already feeling hungry and quickly headed to the dining room herself. Dinner, as always, was sumptuous; just as Su Ge sat down at the table, Chu Yihan, sitting across from her, asked, ¡°What were you about to say just now?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Su Ge, realizing he had caught her stealthily watching him, hastily explained, ¡°Nothing much, I was just a bit worried that Grandpa might not like the Medicine Pillow I¡¯m giving him.¡± Chu Yihan expressionlessly picked up his utensils and began eating, ¡°The Old Master and you both like lotuses; add more lotus in the Medicine Pillow, he¡¯ll definitely love it.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Su Ge¡¯s eyes slightly brightened, ¡°Then, what flowers do you like?¡± Actually, she already knew that Grandpa Chu liked lotuses, Because there¡¯s also a big Lotus Pond in the Chu Garden. That¡¯s why she had specially picked so many lotuses today, planning to select some of the best lotus petals to dry and put in the Medicine Pillow for the Old Master. This way, she wasn¡¯t afraid that he wouldn¡¯t like it. Chu Yihan¡¯s eating motion paused slightly, and he coldly glanced at Su Ge. ¡°That, I was just asking casually; you don¡¯t need to answer, hehe.¡± Su Ge gave an awkward chuckle, then bowed her head to eat her rice. Chu Yihan seemed not to like flowers at all. Chu Yihan took a deep look at her and indeed didn¡¯t respond. After dinner, Su Ge went back to her room to make the Medicine Pillows. As she had no experience with needlework, Su Ge had prepared some scraps of fabric to practice beforehand. As expected, the initial attempts were disastrous, the stitches were crooked, uneven, and it wasn¡¯t until late into the night that her skills somewhat improved, taking the whole night to finish the two Medicine Pillows. The two Medicine Pillows served distinct purposes; the Old Master¡¯s Medicine Pillow mainly targeted wind-fire headaches, high blood pressure, and neurasthenia, whereas the one made for Chu Yihan primarily aimed at calming the heart and mind. Worried that Chu Yihan wouldn¡¯t like the smell of medicine, Su Ge particularly added two special ingredients to minimize the medicinal scent, leaving the Medicine Pillow with only a faint fresh fragrance. To prepare these two special ingredients, Su Ge meticulously blended them all morning until just before noon, finally getting the Medicine Pillows completely done. Chapter 31 - 31 31 Worried She Might Fall Ill ?31: Chapter 31 Worried She Might Fall Ill 31: Chapter 31 Worried She Might Fall Ill Despite not having slept all night and being busy all morning, Su Ge made it a priority to give the Medicine Pillow to the servant responsible for attending to Chu Yihan¡¯s daily needs. She instructed the servant to place the Medicine Pillow by Chu Yihan¡¯s bedside. At the same time, she informed her about some of the effects of the Medicine Pillow, and if Chu Yihan asked about it, to answer truthfully. After making these arrangements, Su Ge went to grab a bite and then returned to her room to sleep. Having not slept all night, she planned to sleep until everything was dark and blurry. No sooner had Su Ge returned to her room to sleep than the servant immediately called Ling Feng to report the incident of Su Ge handing over the Medicine Pillow. About half an hour later, Ling Feng rushed back to the Chu Family residence in a panic. ¡°Where¡¯s the pillow?¡± Ling Feng went straight to the servant attending to Chu Yihan¡¯s daily needs. The servant, not daring to place the Medicine Pillow that Su Ge had given her by Chu Yihan¡¯s bedside, took it out from the storeroom and handed it over to Ling Feng, ¡°Here it is.¡± Ling Feng glanced at it, a cold light flashing in his eyes, ¡°Bring me a pair of scissors.¡± The servant immediately found a pair of scissors in the storeroom. Without another word, Ling Feng snipped away, shredding the exquisitely handmade silk of the outer Medicine Pillow. He then carefully searched inside the Medicine Pillow for anything. Soon, a heap of medicinal herbs was scattered on the ground. After a thorough search, Ling Feng found nothing. Depressed, he tossed aside the last piece of torn cloth, ¡°What is this woman¡¯s intention really?¡± This time she didn¡¯t put needles in the pillow? Could it be that she actually made this pillow for the sake of Fourth Master¡¯s health? Ling Feng couldn¡¯t believe it. Seeing that Ling Feng did not find anything suspicious inside the Medicine Pillow, the servant began to feel scared, ¡°Assistant Ling, what should we do if Lady asks about this Medicine Pillow?¡± This Medicine Pillow was made by the Lady for the Fourth Master, but before the Fourth Master could even see it, they had destroyed it. What to do if the Lady finds out... ¡°What to do? Just say that the Fourth Master threw it away. He himself doesn¡¯t like these odd and exotic trinkets.¡± With that, Ling Feng left. The servant, with a gloomy face, reluctantly began to clean up the mess. Su Ge indeed slept for a very long time this time, and it wasn¡¯t until she felt someone gently stroking her face that she woke up ticklishly. Upon awakening, she saw an extraordinarily handsome man sitting by the bedside, his usually stern face unexpectedly showing tenderness. Su Ge thought she had seen wrong and rubbed her eyes, but indeed she hadn¡¯t seen wrong, the man¡¯s face was as cold as ever. So just now... was he touching her face? Su Ge was no longer sure if the touch she felt was a dream or reality. But why would Chu Yihan be here? This is her room, right? Su Ge suddenly sat up from the bed, and beneath her thin, strappy nightgown, her upper body was rather impressive, attracting Chu Yihan¡¯s gaze almost subconsciously. Su Ge noticed his gaze, looked down at herself, and her face instantly turned crimson; she grabbed the blanket in one quick motion to cover her chest, looking at Chu Yihan in a panic, ¡°You... what are you doing here?¡± Her room has always been off-limits to Chu Yihan. She never allowed him to step in, how dare he come in? ¡°The servants said you¡¯ve been asleep since this morning, I was worried you were ill, so I came to check on you.¡± He had just been checking the temperature of her forehead, never imagining that this woman¡¯s sleep was so light that she woke up at the slightest touch. ¡°Uh... I¡¯m not sick.¡± She just hadn¡¯t slept last night, so she was catching up on sleep. But she felt she hadn¡¯t slept long, so why had it gotten dark outside already? ¡°Since you¡¯re not sick, get up and eat something. Skipping breakfast and dinner too?¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s face darkened slightly. Chapter 32 - 32 32 Chu Yihan Cooks ?32: Chapter 32 Chu Yihan Cooks 32: Chapter 32 Chu Yihan Cooks Su Ge touched her stomach; she was indeed a bit hungry. ¡°Then you go out first, I¡¯ll change my clothes.¡± Su Ge¡¯s face was still flushed. She was only dressed in a nightgown, without wearing anything underneath. Chu Yihan took a deep look at her, didn¡¯t say anything, and stood up to walk out. Su Ge watched him close the door to the bedroom and slowly put down the quilt she was holding. Why did she feel that Chu Yihan seemed quite gentle? Was it her illusion? Chu Yihan was famously indifferent; how could he possibly have a gentle side? Su Ge shook her head. After changing clothes and tidying up for a while, when she went downstairs, Chu Yihan was just bringing in a bowl of noodles. Su Ge stood in place, looking at him in astonishment. Why was it him bringing it in? Where were the kitchen servants? ¡°I let them rest.¡± Clearly noticing Su Ge¡¯s confusion, Chu Yihan dropped the sentence indifferently and carried the noodles to the dining table. Only then did Su Ge remember to check the time; it was already 11 p.m. It was indeed quite late; the kitchen should be resting by now. Su Ge looked at Chu Yihan again; he usually returned home around four or five if he had no social commitments. Had he been waiting for her to wake up since today? Waiting until 11 p.m., with no signs of her waking up, so he had to unusually enter her room? Suddenly, Su Ge realized something. Unusually... Did she and Chu Yihan still have those rules between them? Once, Chu Yihan couldn¡¯t even touch her... Thinking about today¡¯s scene in the car, Su Ge¡¯s face unconsciously flushed again. ¡°What are you spacing out for? Are you not hungry?¡± Chu Yihan hadn¡¯t mentioned it, but once he did, Su Ge¡¯s stomach grumbled twice. Fortunately, she was far enough that Chu Yihan surely didn¡¯t hear. Su Ge quickly walked to the dining table. As far as she remembered, this was the first time Chu Yihan had cooked, and the dish he made looked quite presentable¡ªa steaming bowl of beef noodles, seemingly knowing she liked meat, he put in almost half a bowl of beef. Su Ge first pushed the beef to the bottom and tasted the noodles. Hmm, not too salty, not too bland; just the right texture. Su Ge knew Chu Yihan would definitely care about the feedback on his first time cooking, so she lifted her head, ready to give him some good compliments. Who knew Chu Yihan¡¯s eyes were fixedly staring at her hands, his gaze dark. Su Ge looked cluelessly at her own hands, and before she could see clearly, Chu Yihan abruptly grabbed them. ¡°What happened?¡± Looking at the various large and small cuts on those clean, slender fingers, Chu Yihan¡¯s voice was notably deep. Su Ge had never taken these injuries seriously, but since Chu Yihan asked, she didn¡¯t hide it, ¡°I got these while making the Medicine Pillow, because I¡¯m not very good with needlework, so I got pricked a few times at the beginning; these cuts are nothing, I¡¯ve treated them already, they won¡¯t get infected.¡± ¡°...¡± Chu Yihan was silent for about five seconds, then let go of Su Ge¡¯s hand. She really cares about her grandfather. And she never did such touching things for him. ¡°But...¡± Su Ge suddenly thought of something, looking at Chu Yihan and then hesitated. Chu Yihan never liked hesitations, ¡°But what?¡± ¡°Nothing, nothing...¡± Su Ge still didn¡¯t dare to ask. What if he didn¡¯t like the Medicine Pillow she made, wouldn¡¯t that be awkward? And knowing Chu Yihan¡¯s personality, even if he liked it, he would just silently use it, he wouldn¡¯t verbally acknowledge it. Su Ge suddenly thought of something else, ¡°Right, the gown Linda made for me, is it ready?¡± Grandfather¡¯s birthday is tomorrow, and the gown will probably be needed by tomorrow evening. Chapter 33 - 33 33 Great Figure ?33: Chapter 33: Great Figure 33: Chapter 33: Great Figure ¡°It will be delivered tomorrow morning.¡± A glint flashed in Chu Yihan¡¯s dark eyes. ¡°Tomorrow morning? Are you sure?¡± Su Ge asked while eating her noodles and looking thoughtfully at Chu Yihan, ¡°Did you pressure Linda?¡± Linda¡¯s design plans were only sent to her this morning for confirmation, delivering the dress by tomorrow morning seems a bit rushed. Actually, the banquet is in the evening, she could still make it if it was delivered in the afternoon, or even one hour before the banquet starts in the evening. ¡°It¡¯s her responsibility.¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s expression was impassive. Su Ge realized that he could really be quite indifferent, putting down her nearly finished bowl and chopsticks, ¡°So if she doesn¡¯t deliver on time, does that mean she¡¯s failed her duties and would lose her job?¡± Every time Linda contacted her, she seemed very anxious. It was evident how much pressure Chu Yihan had put on her. ¡°It¡¯s not your concern.¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s expression remained unchanged, pushing a glass of juice towards Su Ge. Having eaten too much beef, Su Ge indeed felt a bit thirsty, she immediately picked up the juice and took a big gulp, then said outright, ¡°Actually, I was asking about the dress because I wanted to speak up for Linda. Given that Linda has become the head designer at DY at such a young age, she must be quite capable. Even the best need sufficient time and space to perform. The timeline you¡¯ve set is too tight, if she can¡¯t make it in time, I hope you can show some leniency. It¡¯s not easy for someone to find a good job, losing it so easily could be a huge blow to a young person.¡± Chu Yihan didn¡¯t respond, just deepening his gaze upon Su Ge. Young person? If he hadn¡¯t misremembered, that designer from DY is a few years older than this woman. ¡°Uh...¡± Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Su Ge said, ¡°You know, considering my figure, any kind of dress should look quite good on me, so it doesn¡¯t necessarily have to be a haute couture. What do you think?¡± Su Ge successfully shifted the topic, Chu Yihan¡¯s gaze moved onto her body, scrutinizing openly. This woman¡¯s physique was indeed impressive. Wearing such a tight dress, accentuating her curves provocatively. Seeing Chu Yihan examining her, Su Ge deliberately tossed back her long hair from her neck. Her figure could indeed handle any dress, couldn¡¯t it? It didn¡¯t necessarily have to be haute couture¡ª Suddenly, Chu Yihan¡¯s throat felt hot. Abruptly, he stood up, ¡°It¡¯s time to sleep, tomorrow we need to go to Chu Garden early to meet the Old Master.¡± Su Ge looked bewildered as she watched Chu Yihan stride upstairs. What was that about? She went along with him, and after he evaluated her, he just left without any comment? Would he consider what she said on behalf of Linda? Watching the man not turning back upstairs felt hanging. Suddenly, she recalled the words Chu Yihan left when he left. She fell into deep thought. Meeting the Old Master she wasn¡¯t afraid of, but the demons and goblins from the Chu Family... Especially Chu Yihan¡¯s second brother... Pushing Chu Yihan into the abyss step by step, he was a major helper for her. And his eldest brother, third brother, father... Just thinking about those people made Su Ge¡¯s back break into a cold sweat. The night was as dark as ink, as soft as silk. Like a vast net, it tightly enveloped Rong City. On the way to Chu Garden, Su Ge occasionally glanced at Chu Yihan. The medicine pillow she made for him, was he using it well? She never heard him mention it... It was her first gift to him, it couldn¡¯t have been thrown away, could it? Su Ge¡¯s heart was in turmoil when suddenly a hand reached out, the warm palm enclosing her slightly cold hand. Chapter 34 - 34 34 Holding Hands ?34: Chapter 34 Holding Hands 34: Chapter 34 Holding Hands Su Ge stiffened all over. Her gaze subconsciously fell on Chu Yihan¡¯s hand holding hers. His thick, powerful palm seemed to be infusing an invisible strength into hers. Su Ge¡¯s palm gradually warmed up, and even her body started to slowly heat up. Was Chu Yihan holding her hand because he felt her nervousness? But being held by him like this... why does it seem like she¡¯s getting even more nervous? Especially since neither of them was speaking, in such an enclosed space, the atmosphere... ¡°Um... isn¡¯t Assistant Ling coming with us to Chu Garden?¡± Su Ge thought hard to find a topic and, upon speaking, realized her throat was exceptionally dry. Assistant Ling always shadowed him closely, but this time going to Chu Garden, Chu Yihan didn¡¯t bring him along. What did he do wrong? ¡°He left the company without permission yesterday, so I am making him reflect for a day.¡± Chu Yihan took out a bottle of water and passed it to Su Ge indifferently. ¡°Thank you.¡± Su Ge withdrew her hand from his palm and, with a slightly flushed face, accepted the water with both hands. The palm suddenly felt empty, and Chu Yihan¡¯s expression changed subtly. He didn¡¯t say anything and turned his gaze out the window. Su Ge took a big gulp of water, and her throat finally felt much more comfortable. Putting down the water, she pondered and said, ¡°Perhaps Assistant Ling had some emergency?¡± Assistant Ling had been loyally by Chu Yihan¡¯s side for many years. Such a small matter should not warrant a punishment, right? Chu Yihan did not respond, continuing to look out the window. Su Ge inexplicably felt that his aura had turned much colder. The temperature inside the car seemed to have dropped a few degrees, too. Su Ge opened her eyes wide in innocence. ... Did she say something wrong? She stared at Chu Yihan¡¯s handsome profile for a while and then her gaze gradually moved downwards, unintentionally falling on the hand that had just held hers. His fair palm rested casually near his thigh, and the morning sunlight streaming in through the window made his well-defined fingers look exceptionally beautiful. Su Ge swallowed and her fingers twitched involuntarily. The hand that had been on her knee quietly fell onto the cushion, and then, as if beyond her control, she reached out bit by bit, bit by bit towards the slender, fair hand. Just as she was about to touch it, Su Ge held her breath nervously, glanced at Chu Yihan¡¯s face which showed no reaction, then she gently exhaled and stealthily held onto that hand. Chu Yihan¡¯s gaze snapped over to her. Su Ge got a shock and hurriedly turned her gaze to the window, turning her nape towards Chu Yihan and quickly closed her eyes. After a few seconds of frozen air, Chu Yihan reacted by grasping the small hand that landed on the back of his hand, enveloping it tightly with his warm palm. Su Ge¡¯s heart pounded very fast and then gradually slowed down. Because the temperature in the car had risen again. The man beside her, his breathing had returned to normal. It was really because she removed her hand from his. But she had to use both hands to drink water. Just like him, he couldn¡¯t open the bottle cap with one hand either, right? What a stubborn man. Dawn¡¯s gentle light made the girl¡¯s tender face blush beautifully in the morning glow. Two hours later. The car entered Chu Garden. A heavy, oppressive, and chilling atmosphere struck from all directions, startling Su Ge awake in the car. Looking out, she happened to see a row of sculptures with swords in hand, fiercely pointing towards her. Su Ge trembled with fear and instinctively buried her face down. After the car passed, opposite the row of sculptures, stood a devilish statue. The architectural style of Chu Garden was mainly European, with round arches, soaring spires, sculptures seen everywhere, and fountains that rose and fell, grand and yet with a touch of eeriness. Chapter 35 - 35 35 Who Isnt Reserved ?35: Chapter 35 Who Isn¡¯t Reserved? 35: Chapter 35 Who Isn¡¯t Reserved? ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s brows lightly raised as he watched the little woman bury her face into his chest. He glanced outside but didn¡¯t see anything unusual. What was this woman afraid of? Su Ge was startled by the sound above her head and came to her senses, only to realize she had buried herself in Chu Yihan¡¯s embrace. Startled, she immediately sat up. What... what had she done after falling asleep? Why was she leaning on Chu Yihan? Su Ge was in a panic. It was one thing to hold his hand, but to lean on him after falling asleep ¨C wasn¡¯t she being too unreserved? Su Ge looked around the car again and suddenly noticed she hadn¡¯t moved from her spot, while Chu Yihan had gotten much closer to her. Wait... who leaned on whom?... Who was the unreserved one? Before Su Ge could figure it out, the car had already stopped in front of the main house. A servant opened the car door, and Chu Yihan got out directly. Su Ge vaguely caught a hint of guilt in his smooth exit from the car. Seeing Housekeeper Mo already approaching, she hurriedly got out of the car as well. ¡°Fourth Young Master, this is...¡± Dressed in a neat uniform and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Housekeeper Mo first respectfully greeted Chu Yihan, then hesitated as he turned to Su Ge. ¡°Housekeeper Mo, my surname is Su.¡± Su Ge politely smiled at him. ¡°So you¡¯re Miss Su. Hello, I am the housekeeper of Chu Garden, my name is Mo...¡± Housekeeper Mo suddenly paused, looking at Su Ge with a hint of surprise. How did Miss Su, on her first visit, know his surname? Su Ge froze for a moment, realizing she had accidentally let it slip. Just as she was about to make up some excuse, Chu Yihan spoke indifferently, ¡°Where is Grandpa?¡± ¡°Old Master is in the tea room, Second Young Master is playing chess with him.¡± Housekeeper Mo glanced at Su Ge again as he spoke. It wasn¡¯t out of curiosity about how Su Ge knew his name, but rather the surprise that Miss Su, who had always been kept close by Fourth Young Master, was not quite as rumored to be. The rumors described her as willful, brash, and rude. Yet today, upon meeting her, she seemed nothing of the sort. This pure and charming appearance showed no trace of willfulness. Moreover, the way she greeted him was quite proper, not at all someone who lacked manners. ¡°Chu Tianrui is already here so early?¡± The corners of Chu Yihan¡¯s lips slightly curled into a cold smile as he strode towards the tea room. Su Ge quickly followed behind him, her brow slightly furrowed. Chu Tianrui, the biggest traitor of the Chu Family! If it weren¡¯t for his collusion with Wen Lixuan from inside and out, the Chu Family wouldn¡¯t have met with such a fate. In the tea room of Chu Garden, Grandpa Chu, with a head full of white hair, held a cup of tea and stared solemnly at the chessboard. Across from him, Chu Tianrui smiled as he set down his teacup, ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯ve won, you¡¯ve lost.¡± Grandpa Chu immediately blew his beard and glared, ¡°You little rascal, taking advantage of my poor eyesight. If I were a few decades younger, you think you could beat me?¡± ¡°When you were young, I wasn¡¯t even around. Don¡¯t make such unrealistic statements. You promised me that if I win, that piece of land to the east...¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Grandpa Chu scolded in a low voice, then turned his eyes to the entrance of the tea room, where Chu Yihan and Su Ge entered together. ¡°Xiao Si is here too. You scoundrel, finally bringing your wife over. Your brothers have been saying you¡¯ve been keeping a wife at home, and you¡¯ve never brought her to see me, the old man. Today, you finally brought her out.¡± Grandpa Chu first lectured Chu Yihan, then warmly looked at Su Ge, ¡°You must be Xiao Ge, right? Come over here, come over here.¡± Chapter 36 - 36 36 Get Married When the Time Comes ?36: Chapter 36: Get Married When the Time Comes 36: Chapter 36: Get Married When the Time Comes ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s actually my first time meeting Xiao Si¡¯s wife today, and it¡¯s all thanks to your influence.¡± Chu Tianrui raised his teacup, his gaze shifting between Chu Yihan and Su Ge, his face full of amusement as if watching a show. Grandpa Chu immediately gave him a stern look, ¡°What¡¯s it to you? Stop being an eyesore here, off you go.¡± ¡°Alright, Grandpa always dotes on Xiao Si the most. I won¡¯t be an eyesore here anymore, I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡± Chu Tianrui had just lifted his teacup but then set it down again, standing up to leave. As he passed by Su Ge, he looked at her meaningfully. Su Ge felt a chill down her back. Her fingers involuntarily clenched tightly together. ¡°What are you standing there for when Grandpa is calling you over?¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s expression was cold. Only then did Su Ge realize what was happening and quickly turned around with the gift she brought, heading towards Grandpa Chu, ¡°Grandpa, today is your birthday. I know you lack nothing, and I haven¡¯t prepared much of a gift. It¡¯s just that I heard from Yihan that your health hasn¡¯t been very good, so I personally concocted some tonic medicines for you, as well as a Medicine Pillow. I hope they help you stay healthy and live a long life!¡± ¡°It¡¯s rare that Xiao Si still thinks of my health, you guys really are thoughtful.¡± Old Master laughed happily, motioning for the servants to take the gifts, then scrutinized Su Ge carefully. The young girl had clear brows and bright eyes, white teeth gleaming within her smiling expression, and a light green dress complemented her entire person with a fresh and elegant air, her demeanor otherworldly. Not bad at all, clearly a good girl. ¡°Xiao Si, come over.¡± Grandpa Chu called for Chu Yihan. Chu Yihan obediently walked over. First, Grandpa Chu took Chu Yihan¡¯s hand, then took Su Ge¡¯s hand, and placed the two hands tightly together, ¡°Grandpa approves of this marriage, when are you planning on getting married?¡± Su Ge was shocked, instinctively looking towards Chu Yihan. Marriage? But she saw Chu Yihan¡¯s expression remained calm, ¡°Xiao Ge is still too young to marry.¡± ¡°Not of age yet?¡± Grandpa Chu looked at Su Ge again, then released their hands, ¡°She does look young, she¡¯s probably just turned eighteen, right? No rush, you can wait two more years to get married. After all, our family¡¯s Xiao Si is a faithful man. Once he¡¯s set on a girl, he will definitely marry her. Isn¡¯t that right, Xiao Si?¡± Grandpa Chu, after all, was already eighty and not as sharp as he used to be. Chu Yihan had said that Su Ge was not of marriageable age, and he believed it. In fact, Su Ge would be twenty after her birthday this year. Just reaching the legal age for marriage. ¡°Mmm.¡± As if to please Grandpa, Chu Yihan seriously nodded his head, ¡°We¡¯ll get married when she¡¯s of age.¡± Su Ge¡¯s face instantly flushed red. Who wants to get married... She doesn¡¯t want to get married yet... She¡¯s still just a kid. ¡°Ha ha, good, stop standing around, sit down, all of you. Your father went to the south a while back and brought back a lot of fine tea, try some.¡± The servant had already prepared the tea. Hearing the word ¡®father¡¯, Chu Yihan¡¯s eyes held a trace of chill; he sat down without any expression. Su Ge sat next to him, her expression also became somewhat complicated. However, seeing how enthusiastic Old Master was, she still lifted the teacup on the table and took a sip, smiling and praising, ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s excellent tea.¡± A cold look from Chu Yihan came her way and Su Ge¡¯s smile immediately stiffened on her face, her gaze dropping. She only didn¡¯t want to dampen Grandpa¡¯s spirits, and wasn¡¯t praising that person, there¡¯s no need for him to get angry... Grandpa Chu also gradually stopped smiling, looking at Chu Yihan, ¡°Xiao Si, you haven¡¯t visited Grandpa in a long time.¡± Chapter 37 - 37 37 Nonsense to You ?37: Chapter 37: Nonsense to You 37: Chapter 37: Nonsense to You Grandpa Chu spoke with a somewhat desolate tone, while a slight glint flashed within Chu Yihan¡¯s dark eyes. After swallowing twice, he finally dropped a single indifferent word, ¡°Busy.¡± At once, Grandpa Chu let out a sigh. ¡°Grandfather knows that you¡¯ve always been the busiest.¡± Of all his grandsons, only Xiao Si had shown promise. It¡¯s just a shame... He never seemed to regard this place as his home. Since the time he moved out, he rarely came back. ¡°Chairman Chu¡¯s subordinate is the leading First Financial Group in the world. It¡¯s only natural for him to be busy...¡± A loud voice suddenly interrupted as Chu Qinghong, the third son of the Chu Family, walked in, striding straight towards Grandpa Chu with a frivolous smile on his face, ¡°Our family business, which has been built over hundreds of years, is nothing compared to the world¡¯s number one financial group. Why would the Chairman concern himself with Chu Family matters? Grandpa, am I right?¡± ¡°Right... Right your head!¡± Grandpa Chu was so enraged that he picked up his teacup, intending to throw it at Chu Qinghong, ¡°You rotten kid, why can¡¯t you ever learn to behave? It¡¯s rare for you and Xiao Si to get together, why do you say such things?¡± ¡°Grandpa, there you go being biased. Did I say anything wrong? I¡¯m speaking the truth; why can¡¯t you bear to hear it?¡± Chu Qinghong showed no intention of holding back, casting a sarcastic look at Chu Yihan, ¡°Having the Chairman visit our Chu Family is truly an honor. I presume even in your busy schedule, you took the time to come here? Are you here to celebrate, or perhaps to pay a visit, bringing only a few lousy medicinal herbs? That hardly matches your status as Chairman.¡± Su Ge¡¯s face suddenly changed. A few lousy medicinal herbs? It was true that Chu Qinghong never spoke a good word. She once came to wish Grandpa Chu a happy birthday without a gift and was publicly mocked by him. Now, even with a thoughtful present, he still looked down upon it. In fact, it didn¡¯t matter what she brought; he would always find an opportunity to mock Chu Yihan, right? After all, with Grandpa Chu¡¯s status, what good things hadn¡¯t he seen? The more expensive the gift, the more vulgar it appeared. How could Chu Qinghong not understand this? ¡°You, you...¡± Grandpa Chu was so angry he couldn¡¯t even speak. Chu Qinghong obviously came to provoke Chu Yihan, who remained calm throughout, slightly shifting his gaze, ¡°It seems, you¡¯ve prepared a grand gift for Grandpa?¡± With just a light remark, Chu Qinghong¡¯s face went slightly stiff, his expression betraying a touch of awkwardness. Su Ge watched Chu Qinghong with great interest. If what she brought was lousy medicinal herbs, what precious gift had he brought? After his expression froze for a few seconds, Chu Qinghong suddenly burst into laughter, ¡°Xiao Si, you really have a sense of humor. If even someone of your worth brought just a few worthless medicinal concoctions for Grandpa, how can we dare to prepare anything grand? We wouldn¡¯t want to inadvertently overstep your Chairman status, would we? Can you imagine the jokes it would cause if word got out...¡± In the midst of saying this, Chu Qinghong took out a gift box from his pocket and presented it to Grandpa Chu, ¡°Grandpa, here¡¯s my gift for you, wishing you blessings as vast as the East Sea and a life as long as Mount Nan.¡± Grandpa Chu glared at him and then directly opened the gift box. Considering the size of the box, Su Ge initially thought it might be a ring or a bracelet. But to her surprise, as soon as Grandpa Chu picked it up, it turned out to be a small Guanyin Statue from the South Sea. Judging by its quality, it was likely picked up from a street stall outside a temple. Moreover, it was the smallest and least valuable type. Grandpa Chu¡¯s face darkened instantly. ¡°What is this thing!¡± Grandpa Chu was so infuriated he threw the object away. Chapter 38 - 38 38 Are you ?38: Chapter 38 Are you... really Xiao Ge? 38: Chapter 38 Are you... really Xiao Ge? Chu Qinghong did not get angry but instead laughed, walking over to pick up the Guanyin statue that Grandpa Chu had thrown down and blew on it, ¡°I knew Grandpa wouldn¡¯t like the gift I brought, considering the Chu Family has always been outstanding, and here I am, the utterly worthless Chu Qinghong, a disgrace to the Chu Family.¡± Old Master has never liked him, so how could he like his gift? ¡°You know it already.¡± Out of all the grandchildren, Chu Qinghong is the one that gives Grandpa Chu the most headaches. Incorrigibly mischievous and good for nothing. Although the eldest and the second child each have their own faults, they are not like him, loafing around and causing trouble all day. Nearly thirty years old and still, his marriage, his marriage has no prospects; his career, his career hasn¡¯t even started. He also refused to do the jobs arranged by the family, only knowing how to fool around all day. How could the Chu Family produce such a weirdo! Grandpa Chu truly gets infuriated every time he sees him. ¡°I thought Xiao Si was bringing his wife today to make you happy and less likely to get angry. Seems like I miscalculated. Since it¡¯s your birthday today Grandpa, I¡¯ll stop bothering you and take my leave now.¡± Seeing that Old Master¡¯s face had turned pale with anger, Chu Qinghong tactfully turned around to leave. He had just taken a step but then sharply turned his gaze towards Chu Yihan, passing over him to look at the quietly sitting Su Ge, ¡°I¡¯ve always heard that Xiao Si¡¯s wife he brought home has a fiery temper, a place that could turn Xiao Si¡¯s villa in the West Suburb into utter chaos at a single disagreement, leaving no grass growing. How come she seems like a different person today? Xiao Si, you didn¡¯t spend money to find someone to pretend to be your wife just to please Grandpa, did you?¡± ¡°You...¡± Su Ge¡¯s face changed again, just about to speak, but Old Master was completely furious, ¡°Get out! Chu Qinghong, get out of here immediately!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯m leaving, I¡¯m leaving right away. Grandpa hold on, don¡¯t let the anger give you a heart attack.¡± Chu Qinghong gave Su Ge a malicious smile and strode out. ¡°This unfilial child, unfilial child... cough, cough, cough.¡± ¡°Grandpa, please have some tea.¡± Seeing Grandpa Chu so out of breath with anger, Su Ge quickly poured a cup of tea and offered it with both hands. Grandpa Chu looked at her with a complex expression in his eyes, took the tea, and drank a big gulp. That calmed him down considerably. Su Ge sat obediently, not daring to say anything. Chu Qinghong was right; she indeed used to cause chaos in the Chu Family at every disagreement, leaving no stone unturned, but she did it all to purposely anger Chu Yihan. Her true nature... wasn¡¯t so fierce. Now, this is who she really is. Admittedly, the real her isn¡¯t a gentle and kind person, but at least she knows her place, especially in front of Grandpa, where she should act restrained and modest. After all, old folks always like a well-behaved granddaughter-in-law. Grandpa Chu slowly put down the tea cup in his hand and glanced at Chu Yihan. Chu Yihan¡¯s expression was consistently calm throughout, his face showing no trace of emotion, no sign of happiness or anger. Old Master didn¡¯t quite like this, he turned his gaze away somewhat angrily. Sitting beside him, Su Ge looked very obedient and pleasing at a glance. But Old Master slightly frowned and hesitated for a bit before asking, ¡°You, are you really Xiao Ge?¡± He had also heard that Xiao Si¡¯s wife was very fierce and unruly, so why couldn¡¯t he see any of that today? Su Ge was momentarily stunned. ... Was her reputation in Chu Garden already that bad? Chapter 39 - 39 39 Notoriety Spreads Far and Wide ?39: Chapter 39 Notoriety Spreads Far and Wide 39: Chapter 39 Notoriety Spreads Far and Wide Indeed¡ª When Su Ge used to visit Chu Garden with Chu Yihan, she ignored everyone with such arrogance and impoliteness, yet it seemed as if everyone found it normal, and Grandfather never blamed her. Now that she¡¯s polite, everyone feels as if she¡¯s not herself anymore. It just shows how notorious her reputation had become in Chu Garden. ¡°Do you think I would go through the trouble of hiring someone to impersonate me just to please you?¡± Su Ge was about to speak when Chu Yihan¡¯s deep voice broke the silence. The Old Master, staring at the utterly unemotional Chu Yihan, was so irritated that he glared, ¡°Yes, Old Master doesn¡¯t deserve such efforts from you.¡± Su Ge looked at Chu Yihan with slight surprise. Why is he explaining for her? It seems Grandfather is even less pleased now... ¡°It¡¯s Xiao Ge¡¯s first visit to Chu Garden; why don¡¯t you show her around, Old Master is tired, I¡¯ll go back to my room for a nap.¡± True to his word, the Old Master, having had his mood spoiled by his grandchildren, stood up ready to leave the tea room with the help of the servants. After taking a few steps, he turned back to the servant who had helped him with the gifts earlier, ¡°Bring the Medicine Pillow Xiao Ge made for me to my room.¡± With that, the Old Master left. Su Ge had been looking worried, but a relieved smile spread across her face when she heard what Grandfather said. It seemed that Grandfather wasn¡¯t angry with her. He even wanted to use her Medicine Pillow. She had specially tailored the medicinal herbs in the Medicine Pillow to suit Grandfather¡¯s health; it would surely benefit his condition. While she was secretly rejoicing, she suddenly felt a cold gaze upon her. Su Ge quickly suppressed her smile, turning sheepishly towards the man whose mood swung unpredictably by her side. The atmosphere of Chu Garden always felt somewhat oppressive to her, but she realized that Chu Yihan seemed even less fond of Chu Garden. Ever since entering Chu Garden, his aura had never warmed up, constantly enveloped by an unusually icy chill. Being by his side, Su Ge felt cold enough to catch a cold. ¡°How much preparation did you do before coming to Chu Garden?¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s dark eyes stared intently at Su Ge. ¡°Ah?¡± Su Ge gaped, her round, big eyes wide and exceptionally clear. Chu Yihan scrutinized her eyes repeatedly, and gradually the oppressive aura around him dissipated, ¡°Never mind, I¡¯ll show you around Chu Garden.¡± Watching Chu Yihan stand up to leave, Su Ge slowly realized something. Was it because she had appeared too familiar with everything after entering Chu Garden, whether it was her interaction with Housekeeper Mo or her calm reaction upon meeting Chu Tianrui and Chu Qinghong that aroused his suspicion? Su Ge¡¯s eyes darted around, and she quickly followed Chu Yihan, ¡°I¡¯m not particularly fond of European style architecture, so just take me to the Lotus Pond in Chu Garden.¡± As expected, Chu Yihan¡¯s footsteps suddenly halted. His cool, dark eyes swiftly turned to look at Su Ge. ¡°You guessed right, I did indeed prepare before coming to Chu Garden. I checked lots of information online, I heard that Grandfather has cultivated quite a large Lotus Pond.¡± Su Ge clasped her hands behind her skirt, tilting her head up with a smile that curved her eyes. She carried an air of ¡®look how smart I am.¡¯ The tension around Chu Yihan gradually eased as he looked at the girl¡¯s delicately beautiful face, finding himself unable to refuse, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll take you to the Lotus Pond.¡± Su Ge could clearly feel that the chill emanating from Chu Yihan walking ahead had dissipated. He became noticeably more affable. A sly glint flickered in her eyes. Instead of letting him continue to harbor suspicions, it was better to openly admit, which might dispel his doubts. Perhaps due to his long legs, Chu Yihan walked briskly; for every step he took, Su Ge had to take two to keep up. Chu Garden was expansive in itself, and after trailing him with a small jog for a bit, Su Ge was panting and exhausted. Chapter 40 - 40 40 Showing Off Love ?40: Chapter 40: Showing Off Love 40: Chapter 40: Showing Off Love Chu Yihan is a real straight-talking man. He didn¡¯t even notice the little woman who had to struggle to keep up with his pace. Su Ge remembered that the Lotus Pond was quite far; continuing like this was not an option. Watching the man¡¯s long legs moving farther and farther with every step, she grit her teeth, sped up, and grabbed his hand. Chu Yihan stopped in his tracks. He turned his head sideways, his dark eyes fixed on Su Ge. Su Ge showed him a sweet smile, ¡°It seems that everyone in Chu Garden thinks that we are not close. Should we, perhaps, show a little affection?¡± Showing affection was just a pretext, saving her own life was the reality. If she had to keep up with him for another 800 meters, she would definitely collapse from exhaustion. So she must hold his hand and walk slowly. Chu Yihan looked around, the courtyard spacious like a plaza, only a few servants cleaning, all seriously wiping the sculptures in the yard, not paying attention to them. Show affection? Chu Yihan¡¯s dark eyes deepened slightly, and he held Su Ge¡¯s small hand in his. Goal achieved, Su Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The next second, her body uncontrollably flung towards Chu Yihan. With just a little force from Chu Yihan holding her hand, Su Ge fell directly into his arms. She looked up at him in astonishment. His exquisite handsome face leaned down, sealing her lips with a kiss. After a passionate kiss ended, Su Ge¡¯s mind went completely blank. She... What had she and Chu Yihan just done in front of everyone? The servants who were cleaning had now all looked over, excitedly whispering something. Su Ge could only vaguely hear Chu Yihan dropping a phrase, ¡°This is showing affection,¡± before he pulled her away. Not knowing how they ended up at the Lotus Pond, Su Ge could only feel his taste in her mouth, that unique hormonal scent so intense and warm that she couldn¡¯t help wondering if a kiss could make her pregnant. A gentle breeze swept across the lake, carrying the delicate fragrance of lotus filling the entire Chu Garden. Su Ge shivered slightly, finally fully awakened. Seeing the endless vibrant red Lotus Pond before her, her pupils dilated in shock. Indeed, the lotuses in Chu Garden were the best. These large red lotuses almost made one suspect they had been fed hormones. It was said that Grandpa Chu had a special fondness for lotuses when he was young, his love enduring for so many years, indeed the flowers he cultivated were extraordinary. Yet, this huge Lotus Pond had only one color. Grandpa Chu must be a man of deep loyalty, right? While Su Ge was lost in thought, the hand holding hers tightened, pulling her to keep moving forward. Looking ahead, Su Ge realized there was a pavilion in the middle of the Lotus Pond. That position was simply the best spot to enjoy the flowers. Chu Yihan really was taking her to that pavilion, walking into the pavilion, the rich scent of lotuses came from all directions, Su Ge excitedly let go of Chu Yihan¡¯s hand, leaning on the pavilion¡¯s railing to closely admire the swathes of lotuses. It was midsummer, the best season for lotus blossoms. Su Ge could touch countless red lotuses just by reaching out her hand. But she hesitated to touch them, so enthralled by the scenery that she couldn¡¯t bear to disturb it. Seeing her hesitant movements, Chu Yihan simply walked over, bent down gently, and plucked a large red lotus from in front of Su Ge, handing it to her. Su Ge watched in daze as her favorite lotus was mercilessly plucked, her face filled with astonishment as she looked at Chu Yihan. ¡°Don¡¯t you like it? Take it.¡± Chapter 41 - 41 41 This Person Really Knows How to Live! ?41: Chapter 41 This Person Really Knows How to Live! 41: Chapter 41 This Person Really Knows How to Live! Su Ge didn¡¯t dare to take it, she lowered her eyelids, heartbroken as she watched the Red Lotus being ruthlessly destroyed by the straightforward man in front of her. She had always liked lotus flowers, but did she ever pluck lotus flowers from her home for no reason? This entire summer, the only time she plucked some was to make a Medicine Pillow for Grandpa. Because liking something shouldn¡¯t mean possessing it, but cherishing it. ¡°This is the Old Master¡¯s flower, no need to feel heartbroken.¡± Chu Yihan took Su Ge¡¯s hand and directly placed the lotus flower in her palm. His face was expressionless. Su Ge looked somewhat bewildered. Because it wasn¡¯t his own family¡¯s flower, was that why he plucked it so decisively? This person really knows how to live life! Wait, that¡¯s not right, these flowers were planted by Grandpa Chu, and Grandpa Chu loves lotuses as if they were his life. If he knew someone plucked his flowers... Su Ge¡¯s hand trembled violently, almost reflexively grabbing Chu Yihan¡¯s hand and stuffing the flower back into it. Chu Yihan looked at her with surprise. Only to see Su Ge stepping back several steps, keeping a distance from him, ¡°This was plucked by you, it has nothing to do with me. If Grandpa blames anyone, you have to bear it alone.¡± Chu Yihan looked at the Red Lotus in his hand, and only after Su Ge¡¯s reminder did he remember something. Once, because of boredom, the third youngest casually broke a petal from the Old Master¡¯s lotus, unfortunately getting caught red-handed by the Old Master. The Old Master was so angry that he scolded him every time he saw him for half a year, and no pleading was accepted, scaring the third youngest from coming home that whole year. If he knew he plucked such a big bloom... Chu Yihan¡¯s eyes gradually widened, Su Ge clearly saw his hand tremble too, then saw him looking around in the lotus pond as if looking for a place to hide the evidence. Su Ge had the same idea, she scanned the area of the lotus pond, finally her eyes resting on an extra-large lotus leaf, ¡°Hide it under this!¡± Chu Yihan glanced at the spot Su Ge was pointing to, without a moment of hesitation, he strode over, bent down leaning on the fence, lifted a few lotus leaves, then rudely shoved the Red Lotus in. Quick and efficient! In just a minute, Chu Yihan¡¯s expression returned to normal. This was the first time Su Ge saw a flicker of panic on Chu Yihan¡¯s usually cold and deep face, a stark contrast. She couldn¡¯t help wanting to laugh, but then she heard footsteps approaching. Her expression immediately stiffened, she and Chu Yihan almost simultaneously looked back. The only member of the Chu Family who bore a slight resemblance to Chu Yihan¡ªwell, at most three parts similar¡ªChu Qinghong, walked over quickly. ¡°What were you just doing?¡± After arriving, Chu Qinghong directly leaned on the fence and started observing around, his eyes quickly landing on the lotus leaf where they had just hidden evidence, ¡°What did you hide under here?¡± He turned and looked at Chu Yihan, then at Su Ge, catching a hint from Su Ge¡¯s nervous expression, ¡°Did you, by any chance, pluck the Old Master¡¯s lotus?¡± ¡°No... no, no, how could that be! Hahaha.¡± Su Ge was the first to deny it. Admitting it would be a death sentence. From Chu Yihan¡¯s earlier reaction, it was obvious; the Old Master indeed treasured the lotus flowers in Chu Garden as rumors suggested. Who would dare commit such an act against the wind? Su Ge stealthily glanced at Chu Yihan, only to see his handsome face now completely serene and calm. This person really has a strong mental fortitude. ...Perfect thief material! ¡°No? Then what¡¯s with this guilty look all over your face? Believe it or not, I will just...¡± ¡°Just what?¡± Chapter 42 - 42 42 Pretend, my ass! ?42: Chapter 42 Pretend, my ass! 42: Chapter 42 Pretend, my ass! Before Chu Qinghong could finish his threatening words, Chu Yihan looked at him indifferently, his face cold, ¡°There are three people here, if someone picked the Old Master¡¯s flowers, who would the Old Master think of first?¡± Chu Qinghong was stunned. Then his eyes widened in disbelief at Chu Yihan, ¡°What... what do you mean?¡± Su Ge was a clever person; hearing Chu Yihan¡¯s words, she quickly sided with him, ¡°Grandpa said it was my first visit to Chu Garden, and asked Yihan to walk me around. We wandered here while strolling, and as for who picked Grandpa¡¯s lotus flowers, we have no idea.¡± ¡°Su Xiaoge, who asked you to speak, you biased little thing siding with family over reason...¡± Chu Yihan shot him a cold look, and Chu Qinghong¡¯s face slightly changed, his arrogance quickly subdued. He resentfully looked at the two of them, ¡°Now I get it, you two are just trying to frame me!¡± That¡¯s exactly right! Su Ge lifted her chin, giving Chu Qinghong a look that indicated he guessed everything correctly. Here are only three people, she and Chu Yihan can vouch for each other¡¯s innocence. So, of course, the last suspect would be this uninvited guest, Chu Qinghong. If he dares to go complain to Grandpa, they¡¯ll frame him. Let¡¯s see if he dares to complain now. Chu Yihan remained expressionless, neither admitting nor denying, but the frame-up was inevitable. ¡°Alright... fine, you two! Picking on me for being alone and not having support, am I, I...¡± Chu Qinghong stuttered without completing his sentence. But looking at Su Ge¡¯s hateful expression for siding so strongly with Chu Yihan, something suddenly dawned on him, narrowing his eyes, ¡°Su Xiaoge, didn¡¯t I hear that you were brought back by Chairman Chu after escaping dozens of times and failing, and were finally imprisoned at home as a pitiable little creature? You¡¯ve been causing chaos at the West Suburb Villa, you should hate Chairman Chu to the bone. Now, why are you helping him? Speak honestly, you¡¯re probably an impostor, aren¡¯t you?¡± He had always found it strange. This Su Xiaoge, from the first sight, did not match the rumors at all. The servants at the West Suburb Villa described her more terrifying than an evil witch, but how does this frail little woman resemble an evil witch in the slightest? It was only when helping Chu Yihan frame him that she revealed the detestable face. Other than that, where was she so fearsome? ¡°I¡¯m fake... I¡¯m fake your sister! Su Ge glanced at Chu Yihan, and seeing that his expression was still calm, she tried to calmly say to Chu Qinghong, ¡°You might as well take a good look, where on my body is fake? Since you heard, don¡¯t you know that hearsay is equivalent to rumors? What you heard, all of those are rumors, those are the false things.¡± ¡°Are you really Su Xiaoge?¡± Chu Qinghong still had his doubts. ¡°Genuine guarantee!¡± Su Ge glared at him and turned away huffily. ¡°Alright, then I believe you,¡± Chu Qinghong¡¯s eyes flashed briefly with a subtle smile, suddenly changing his attitude, ¡°I apologize, little sister-in-law, for the misunderstanding, I, your third brother, apologize to you.¡± ¡°Forget it, I don¡¯t blame you.¡± Seeing that Chu Qinghong¡¯s attitude improved, Su Ge¡¯s expression also softened, no longer holding a grudge. After all, he was a member of Chu Yihan¡¯s family, and on their first meeting, of course, she should be courteous. Chu Yihan¡¯s face showed no expression from beginning to end, but his eyes changed slightly when Chu Qinghong apologized. ¡°Yihan, let¡¯s go.¡± Chapter 43 - 43 43 For the Disrespectful Elder ?43: Chapter 43: For the Disrespectful Elder 43: Chapter 43: For the Disrespectful Elder After all, Su Ge felt it was inappropriate to stay around after breaking Grandpa Chu¡¯s lotus flowers. Moreover, the biggest prodigal of the Chu Family was here, and she lost any interest in flower viewing. As she was about to leave, arm-in-arm with Chu Yihan, Chu Qinghong suddenly spoke up from behind them, ¡°Tonight is the Old Master¡¯s birthday banquet, and many guests have been invited to our home. I heard that Wen Lixuan from Wen Family will be coming too.¡± ¡°Oh, sister-in-law, this Wen Lixuan seems to be your childhood friend, right?¡± Chu Qinghong watched the two, who suddenly stopped, with a smile. The hand that Su Ge had locked in Chu Yihan¡¯s became stiff. Black orbs hidden under Chu Yihan¡¯s cold and stern face pressed down slightly as he slightly turned his eyes to look at the woman beside him. Suddenly, Su Ge loosened her grip. Coldness instantly filled the bottom of Chu Yihan¡¯s eyes. The temperature around Lotus Pond plummeted to freezing point in an instant. Chu Qinghong tightened his shirt and sneered contemptuously, ¡°It¡¯s been so long since you two met, you must have a lot to catch up on.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Su Ge turned her head back and looked indifferently at Chu Qinghong, ¡°I¡¯m an orphan and was raised with the care of the Wen Family. The Wen Family has been kind to me; I¡¯ve always regarded Lixuan as my own brother. Having not seen him for so long, of course, we have lots to talk about.¡± ¡°As your own brother? That doesn¡¯t sound quite right, I seem to have heard that you quite fancy Wen Lixuan...¡± Chu Qinghong had the knack for stirring trouble regardless of consequence. However, by this time, Chu Yihan¡¯s aura had slowly retracted. Eerily calm. In this midsummer, it was like the calm before the storm. Chu Qinghong didn¡¯t like his calmness and glanced over disdainfully. Quite capable of holding his breath. He didn¡¯t believe that Chu Yihan was unaware of Su Xiaoge¡¯s fondness for Wen Lixuan. Listening to Su Xiaoge wanting to meet Wen Lixuan tonight, not bursting out in rage suddenly. Could it be that to live a tolerable life, one needed to endure some horns on their head? ¡°Heard from where? Chu Qinghong, where did you hear such unreliable rumors? Did I offend you in any way that you have to be on my case? Saying I¡¯m a fake person, then claiming I fancy my own brother, are you the worm in my stomach? You seem to know so clearly whether I am fake or whom I like or dislike?¡± Chu Yihan didn¡¯t explode, but Su Ge did. Chu Qinghong looked unbelievably at Su Ge who was glaring at him with anger in her brows. Even Chu Yihan had to call him ¡®brother,¡¯ yet this young girl dared to talk to him like that? Directly calling him by his full name? And those big eyes, glaring at him like a pair of fierce bulls? Is there no justice left in the world!? ¡°Xiao Si, did you hear that? Your wife even dares to call me by my full name, aren¡¯t you going to manage her...¡± Before he could finish speaking the last word ¡°ma,¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s cold gaze was turned towards him, scaring Chu Qinghong into instantly shutting his mouth. A deep, dark undertow surged beneath those profound eyes. This... such a terrifying look, shouldn¡¯t it be reserved for that flirtatious woman? Why was it directed at him? ¡°You were disrespectful first, why can¡¯t I call you by your full name?¡± Su Ge hummed softly under her breath. Still having the nerve to complain. ¡°Old? Su Xiaoge, what did you just say, say it one more...¡± After glancing at Chu Yihan, Chu Qinghong didn¡¯t have the courage to finish his words. He stood there, seething at Su Ge. Su Ge stood her ground, returning his stare without yielding. Disrespectful elder, she wasn¡¯t going to be polite with him. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Chu Yihan suddenly took Su Ge¡¯s hand and turned to walk out of the pavilion. Su Ge looked up at him, her face flashing with complexity, and obediently followed him away. Chapter 44 - 44 44 Colluding as Partners in Crime ?44: Chapter 44 Colluding as Partners in Crime 44: Chapter 44 Colluding as Partners in Crime Chu Qinghong stomped his foot in the pavilion. He finally understood, these two were in cahoots! Despicable couple, despicable couple huh! After leaving the pavilion at Lotus Pond, the aura around Chu Yihan turned cold and devoid of any warmth. He didn¡¯t walk far before he let go of Su Ge¡¯s hand. Su Ge looked at him somewhat astonished, only to see him continue walking coldly and quickly. Su Ge struggled to keep up with him for half the distance before stopping. ¡°I... am a bit tired, I don¡¯t want to keep walking, you can go ahead by yourself.¡± Su Ge¡¯s beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, ¡°I will find a place to rest.¡± Without waiting for Chu Yihan¡¯s response, she walked directly towards the residence. Chu Yihan stood still, watching her leave, his cold face showing no trace of emotion, all emotions seemed to be devoured by those deep, cold eyes. Sunlight cast thousands of golden threads, bringing a cold air with it. Su Ge entered Chu Garden¡¯s side house, quite compared to the main house bustling for today¡¯s birthday celebration. Su Ge found a sofa and sat down, listlessly holding her head. She knew, Chu Yihan definitely didn¡¯t want her to meet Wen Lixuan alone. But she and Wen Lixuan, must meet. In her past life, Wen Lixuan used her meticulously to harm Chu Yihan, this life, she would lay a trap within a trap, making Wen Lixuan ultimately die in regret! Just like her and Chu Yihan¡¯s fate in the past life! Including those who had harmed Chu Yihan before, she would not let any of them go! First, at tonight¡¯s banquet, gain the trust of Wen Lixuan and those people. Then, soothe a certain jealous king well... ¡°Isn¡¯t this Xiao Si¡¯s wife?¡± Su Ge was nursing a headache when a familiar voice suddenly resounded. She suddenly looked up to see Chu Tianrui, dressed in a suit, slowly descending the stairs. ¡°Chu... Second Brother.¡± Su Ge then took a good look around the residence she inadvertently entered; this place didn¡¯t seem to belong to Chu Tianrui, right? Why was Chu Tianrui here. It was really bizarre. ¡°Really Xiao Si¡¯s wife ah, why are you here alone, where¡¯s Xiao Si?¡± Chu Tianrui rolled up his sleeves and smiled as he walked towards Su Ge. Su Ge watched his amiable expression, her mouth twitching slightly. If not for having witnessed it with her own eyes before, how could she believe that this well-dressed man before her, harbored such insanity and abnormalities inside. ¡°Today grandfather is having his birthday, it seems pretty busy over there at the main house, Yihan went over, why is Second Brother Chu here?¡± ¡°Xiao Si isn¡¯t outside?¡± Chu Tianrui glanced outside, indeed seeing no one, then sat down on the sofa opposite Su Ge, ¡°Xiao Si is not one to help out in Chu Garden, Xiao Ge it¡¯s your first time here and he doesn¡¯t accompany you well, really too thoughtless.¡± ¡°No, he was originally taking me around Chu Garden, I got tired of walking and left him to rest here.¡± Just as Su Ge finished explaining, she saw Chu Tianrui contemplatively staring at her. She instinctively averted her gaze, a trace of discomfort flashing across her face. Chu Tianrui smiled lightly, ¡°I often hear Lixuan mention you, unexpected, our first meeting is here in Chu Garden.¡± Chu Tianrui could mention Wen Lixuan so naturally because he has always been closely associated with the Wen Family. Chu Tianrui¡¯s wife is Wen Lixuan¡¯s elder sister, Wen Lixin, the eldest miss of the Wen Family. She had once stayed in the Wen Family for a while, everyone in the Wen Family knew she liked Wen Lixuan. Chapter 45 - 45 45 Is this person ?45: Chapter 45: Is this person... waiting for her? 45: Chapter 45: Is this person... waiting for her? Of course, including Wen Lixin. Since the first time she came to Chu Garden, Chu Tianrui has always indulged her betrayal of Chu Yihan, interacting with Wen Lixuan. She foolishly always regarded Chu Tianrui as one of her own. In fact, everyone was just using her to harm Chu Yihan! Now, Chu Tianrui mentions Wen Lixuan just to see her reaction. Su Ge couldn¡¯t let him down, immediately her face fell with disappointment, ¡°Who would have thought...¡± Chu Tianrui naturally assumed she was sad because of Wen Lixuan, and apologetically said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to mention Lixuan in front of you. But the world is truly unpredictable, I always thought, you would end up with Lixuan, you two are a perfect match, but unexpectedly, you became Xiao Si¡¯s wife.¡± ¡°Second brother... Stop talking,¡± Su Ge¡¯s eyes instantly reddened, her acting explosive, ¡°This is fate, my fate.¡± Chu Tianrui saw Su Ge¡¯s utterly heartbroken appearance, a trace of unnoticed smile flashed through his eyes. ¡°Fate can be changed. If you want to change it, the whole world will help you.¡± Since it was their first meeting, Chu Tianrui dared not say too much, he stood up and said, ¡°Since they are busy over at the main house, I¡¯ll go help, you take a good rest here.¡± Su Ge watched Chu Tianrui leave, raised her hand, gently wiping the corner of her eye. The smile on her lips was cold. Of course, fate can be changed, God, didn¡¯t he give her a chance to change her fate? Leaning back on the sofa slowly, Su Ge¡¯s back was covered in cold sweat. She couldn¡¯t let Chu Tianrui suspect her true feelings for Wen Lixuan. ¡°Miss Su, the Old Master requests your presence.¡± After a short rest, a servant came to report. ¡°Grandpa?¡± Su Ge instantly sat straight, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± The Old Master must have just woken from his nap, right? ¡°You¡¯ll know once you go.¡± The servant seemed to be unaware as well. Su Ge¡¯s eyes wandered, could there be a problem with the Medicine Pillow she gave to the Old Master? Without daring to think further, Su Ge stood up and followed the servant to the Old Master¡¯s residence. From a distance, she saw Chu Yihan standing at the doorway. His cold dignified aura, impossible to ignore. What was he doing at the door? Just as Su Ge was curious, Chu Yihan¡¯s phoenix eyes swiftly shot towards her. Su Ge suddenly froze in place. Even with a distance of hundreds of meters, she could still feel the sharpness in his eyes. Su Ge¡¯s legs felt weak, mustering courage, she stiffly walked forward. Chu Yihan¡¯s tall figure stood faintly at the doorway, his handsome face cold and detached, the beautiful phoenix eyes at close range didn¡¯t seem sharp, just unfathomably deep. Su Ge was pondering whether or not to greet him, and how to greet him, when Chu Yihan turned around and entered the door. So was he... waiting for her? Waiting for her to enter with him? Realizing this, Su Ge quickly followed his steps. The two appeared before the Old Master at the same time. Grandpa Chu had just woken from a nap, seeming in a very good mood, ¡°Sit down, both of you.¡± Su Ge and Chu Yihan glanced at each other, then simultaneously sat on the sofa opposite the Old Master. The Old Master looked pleased at the well-matched pair, and waved at a servant. The servant immediately brought over a beautifully crafted jewelry box. Su Ge looked on in surprise, this was... ¡°Xiao Ge,¡± the Old Master suddenly called her name. ¡°Yes,¡± Su Ge reflexively answered. The Old Master, finding her confirmation adorable, laughed heartily, ¡°The Medicine Pillow you gave me, it¡¯s really useful, I had a very sound sleep.¡± Chapter 46 - 46 46 Ancestral Treasure ?46: Chapter 46 Ancestral Treasure 46: Chapter 46 Ancestral Treasure Caught off guard by the unexpected praise, Su Ge felt both honored and surprised. Nevertheless, she modestly replied, ¡°It was Yihan who told me about your health condition, Grandpa. The herbs in the Medicine Pillow are all beneficial to your well-being. It¡¯s wonderful if you¡¯re accustomed to using it.¡± After finishing her words, Su Ge glanced at Chu Yihan, who was also looking at her. His deep black eyes were clearly curious¡ªwhen had he ever mentioned the Old Master in front of her? Su Ge quickly averted her gaze. The Old Master nodded with satisfaction, ¡°Xiao Si has always been reserved and rarely visits this old man. I thought he had long forgotten about me. To my surprise, he has always been mindful of my health. Of all my grandsons, it¡¯s only Xiao Si who has some filial piety.¡± Chu Yihan seemed to have never been praised by Grandpa Chu before; suddenly receiving praise, he was slightly stunned. He glanced at the content Old Master, then turned to Su Ge. He saw Su Ge smiling with her eyes curving, but her words were still politely modest, ¡°Oh no, if you say that, Grandpa, the other brothers might be unhappy.¡± After all, Grandpa Chu had four grandsons. This act of elevating one while depreciating three was quite biased. ¡°I, the Old Master, don¡¯t care whether they are happy or not,¡± said Grandpa Chu, a man of character. He glanced over at the servant holding the brocade box, who immediately opened it and presented it in front of Su Ge. Su Ge¡¯s smile stiffened on her face as she looked at the jade green jade bracelet in the box, then turned to Grandpa Chu with confusion. This is... ¡°Xiao Ge, it¡¯s our first meeting today, and you¡¯ve prepared such a thoughtful gift for me. I don¡¯t have much to offer you in return, but this is the ancestral bracelet from the Chu Family. Please accept it.¡± An... ancestral treasure? She gave Chu Yihan an awkward look and saw that he, too, seemed to be surprised by the bracelet for a moment. However, his expression quickly returned to normal. Seeing his reaction made Su Ge even more conflicted. She had met the Old Master before but had never been given a bracelet. Now, is this acceptance? ¡°Grandpa, this, such a valuable thing... It doesn¡¯t seem quite appropriate...¡± After all, she and Chu Yihan were only in a relationship, not married, and she wasn¡¯t officially a granddaughter-in-law of the Chu Family. To accept an heirloom now, wasn¡¯t that improper? ¡°What¡¯s inappropriate about it? The moment I saw you, I felt this bracelet was most fitting to give to you. Don¡¯t be courteous with me, Old Master; just take it. The daughters-in-law of the eldest and the second have been eyeing it for a long time, but I couldn¡¯t bear to part with it.¡± What? Wasn¡¯t this bracelet supposed to be given to every daughter-in-law? Only she gets one? Isn¡¯t this... overly favoritism? ¡°Since Grandpa insists, I¡¯ll humbly comply and accept,¡± said Su Ge, receiving the box with dignity yet blossoming with joy in her heart. She adored this kind of favoritism from Grandpa. The Old Master, who usually disliked affectation, was also happy to see Su Ge accept the bracelet. He turned to Chu Yihan, ¡°Xiao Si, help Xiao Ge put it on.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Chu Yihan, obedient to the Old Master¡¯s word, slightly turned his body, picked up the bracelet, and gently placed it on Su Ge¡¯s hand. ¡°Maybe... I should take it back and put it on at home...¡± Su Ge felt that wearing this unique bracelet at the Chu Family¡¯s was too ostentatious. Before she could refuse, the bracelet was already on her wrist. She was somewhat taken aback and instinctively tried to take it off, but found that she couldn¡¯t remove it at all. Strange, it was so easy to put on, so why couldn¡¯t she take it off? Chapter 47 - 47 47 Blatant Favoritism ?47: Chapter 47: Blatant Favoritism 47: Chapter 47: Blatant Favoritism Grandpa Chu looked at the bracelet worn on Su Ge¡¯s wrist, satisfaction written all over his face, ¡°Xiao Ge wearing it, it does indeed fit very well. It¡¯s a pity that your grandmother is no longer with us, she would have been especially happy to see this. We¡¯ve kept this bracelet for so many years, and today, we have finally found the right person to wear it.¡± Upon hearing Old Master say this, Su Ge suddenly realized that a family heirloom like this bracelet should be passed down to the daughter-in-law, and then from daughter-in-law to daughter-in-law, right? Why did Grandpa directly pass it to the granddaughter-in-law? It seems it should have been her future mother-in-law who gave it to her... Thinking of her future mother-in-law, Su Ge¡¯s brows furrowed slightly. Yihan¡¯s biological mother had passed away a long time ago. Yihan and his three older brothers were half-brothers, sharing the same father but different mothers. Her future mother-in-law, Mrs. Chu, in fact, had no real relation to Yihan. But, why didn¡¯t Grandpa pass the bracelet to Mrs. Chu? ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± As she walked out from Grandpa Chu¡¯s residence, Su Ge stared blankly at the bracelet on her wrist while walking. Just as she was about to collide with a Roman column in the courtyard, Yihan, who had been walking in front of her, suddenly grabbed her arm forcefully and yanked her towards him, at the same time, his face darkened as he asked. Su Ge stumbled but didn¡¯t bump into Yihan; she patted her chest with some fright, ¡°I just feel that, since this bracelet from Grandpa isn¡¯t one for every granddaughter-in-law of the Chu Family, wearing it like this, wouldn¡¯t it incite too much hatred? What if your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law see it, would they want to devour me?¡± Su Ge tried to take off the bracelet again, ¡°Maybe I should put it away for now and wear it once I¡¯m back home.¡± Keeping a low profile is the safest. ¡°It¡¯s too late,¡± Yihan¡¯s voice was indifferent. ¡°What?¡± Su Ge didn¡¯t understand; looking up, she then saw a lavishly dressed lady, her ample hips swaying, striding towards them. It was actually Yihan¡¯s eldest sister-in-law, Liu Fengmei. No no no... Really? Su Ge almost instinctively hid her hands behind her back, then weakly leaned against Yihan and asked softly, ¡°What... what do we do?¡± ¡°What are you afraid of?¡± What am I afraid of? Su Ge¡¯s eyes widened as she glared at Yihan. This Liu Fengmei was known in Rong City as a social butterfly, which actually meant she was a blabbermouth. If she found out that Old Master had given Su Ge the family heirloom, everyone in the Chu Family would know in an instant. Wouldn¡¯t Yihan¡¯s eldest, second, and third brothers hold a grudge against her immediately? Even though Qinghong hasn¡¯t married a wife yet, he will eventually, and before he even gets a wife, the Old Master has already given away the precious heirloom; isn¡¯t that outright favoritism? ¡°Well, isn¡¯t this Xiao Si? Oh no, my mistake, it¡¯s Chairman Chu. It¡¯s really rare to see you here at Chu Garden; I even feel that the air in Chu Garden is a bit different now,¡± Liu Fengmei said, even making a show of breathing deeply. Su Ge rolled her eyes covertly and stepped out from behind Yihan, ¡°Eldest sister-in-law.¡± Liu Fengmei looked taken aback as she took a step back, her brows furrowing, ¡°Who are you? Look at those skinny arms and legs, like a stick.¡± A chill passed through Yihan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Oh, you called me eldest sister-in-law, so you must be Xiao Si¡¯s wife, right?¡± Liu Fengmei¡¯s attitude switched immediately, ¡°I did hear that Xiao Si found himself a wife, but sister-in-law, you look quite different from the rumors. Look at me; I almost didn¡¯t recognize you.¡± Having been perceived so poorly by everyone at Chu Garden, Su Ge had long since become accustomed to it. Chapter 48 - 48 48 The Aesthetics That Burn the Eyes ?48: Chapter 48: The Aesthetics That Burn the Eyes 48: Chapter 48: The Aesthetics That Burn the Eyes However, a matchstick? Where does she resemble a matchstick? Today, Liu Fengmei wore a resplendent golden cheongsam. Su Ge glanced at it casually and smiled slightly, ¡°Elder sister-in-law, I¡¯m just Xiao Ge. Once a stranger, twice familiar. You look really good in this cheongsam today, it really complements your figure.¡± It complements her like a roly-poly doll. Round from head to toe. This person, after all, mingles with all kinds of high-society gatherings, can¡¯t she have a sense of aesthetics? Every time I see her, either decked out in a riot of colors or shimmering in gold, with no knowledge of dressing to her strengths. Does she think that wearing clothes that emphasize a big chest and eye-catching colors is good-looking? It¡¯s simply an eyesore. ¡°Of course, this cheongsam was specially customized from the DR brand for today¡¯s birthday banquet. Every thread is made of pure gold. I can¡¯t afford to dress too shabbily for an occasion like today; otherwise, it would be the Chu Family¡¯s face that gets lost,¡± Liu Fengmei said proudly. Looking at Su Ge¡¯s fresh and elegant light green dress, she showed a face full of disdain, ¡°What on earth are you wearing? Xiao Si is the renowned chairman of the S.J. Conglomerate. Wearing a dress that looks like street-stall goods not only loses the Chu Family¡¯s face but also Xiao Si¡¯s face.¡± ¡°Xiao Si, am I right?¡± After Liu Fengmei finished speaking, she deliberately turned her gaze to Chu Yihan. Chu Yihan seemed too lazy to care, his hand lazily tucked in his pocket, a hint of impatience on his cold face. ¡°It seems that elder sister-in-law doesn¡¯t really follow magazines. Since you¡¯ve specially customized a cheongsam from the DR brand, don¡¯t you know that this dress I¡¯m wearing is this year¡¯s summer limited edition from DR?¡± Although always confined to the Chu Family, Chu Yihan always buys the limited-edition new releases from famous brands for her every year. This dress was very popular in the magazines before. It seems there¡¯s a reason why Liu Fengmei has no sense of aesthetics. She probably never reads fashion magazines. Liu Fengmei was taken aback¡ªthis dress is also from DR brand? Such a tacky style, yet a limited edition? ¡°Maybe it¡¯s just that... some people, no matter what they wear, look like street-stall goods. After all, if one comes from a humble background...¡± When Liu Fengmei said this, she was clearly wary of Chu Yihan and had already lowered her voice as much as possible. Right after she finished, Chu Yihan¡¯s aura suddenly turned icy cold. Su Ge quickly took his arm and gently patted it twice as if to comfort him. Liu Fengmei¡¯s eyes immediately fell on her wrist, her complexion turning exceedingly unsightly, ¡°Where did you get that bracelet?¡± ¡°Ah, this bracelet?¡± Su Ge let go of Chu Yihan¡¯s arm and covered the bracelet somewhat embarrassedly while explaining, ¡°This is a gift from Grandpa upon our first meeting. He said it suits me very well. Initially, I thought it was too valuable and didn¡¯t want to accept it, but since it was our first meeting, I didn¡¯t dare to offend him and had to take it.¡± Su Ge successfully saw Liu Fengmei¡¯s face turn the color of liver. Not a trace of her earlier smugness remained. She deliberately raised the hand wearing the bracelet to flip her hair, exuding elegance and nobility. Since Liu Fengmei was bound to see the bracelet sooner or later, there was no need to cover it up anymore. After the Su Family¡¯s decline, she did indeed spend some time in the marketplace before the Wen Family helped her to continue her studies. But to say whatever she wears looks like street-stall goods, that was unacceptable. With her figure, she had received plenty of offers to model during high school, okay? Liu Fengmei was simply so angry she was itching. The Old Master¡¯s bracelet, she had asked for it overtly and covertly many times, but the Old Master just wouldn¡¯t give it to her. Who would have imagined it was given to this stinking girl upon the first meeting! Chapter 49 - 49 49 Help Him Foster Affection ?49: Chapter 49: Help Him Foster Affection 49: Chapter 49: Help Him Foster Affection ¡°Hmph!¡± Liu Fengmei huffed heavily and stormed off. Su Ge watched her retreating back, a radiant smile spreading across her face. Chu Yihan¡¯s aura had already calmed down, and he was now looking at Su Ge indifferently. Su Ge had been smiling for a while before she noticed his gaze, and her smile immediately stiffened on her face, ¡°Uh...that, I¡¯m not, I just couldn¡¯t hide it anymore, so...¡± ¡°Why did you speak up for me in front of the Old Master?¡± If it was just to please him in order to attend tonight¡¯s banquet, then she had already done enough. There was really no need to speak up for him in front of the Old Master. Chu Yihan¡¯s face remained expressionless and cold. ¡°This...¡± Su Ge touched her chin, thinking about how to respond but couldn¡¯t find a good reason, so she simply lifted her chin and looked earnestly at Chu Yihan, ¡°So, are you touched?¡± She didn¡¯t really have a reason. She just purely wanted to speak up for him. Because in the entire Chu Family, only the Old Master truly cared about him. But Chu Yihan was too aloof, indifferent to everyone, so she wanted to help foster the relationship between him and his grandfather. Actually, he was quite filial to his grandfather, as could be seen from the incident at the Lotus Pond¡ªonly filial piety could breed fear; after all, with his status, what else in this world could he fear? By helping him like this... Would he feel somewhat touched in his heart? Chu Yihan¡¯s lips were tightly pursed. Su Ge couldn¡¯t capture any useful information from his deep eyes. Never mind, he probably wouldn¡¯t be touched. It was good enough that he wasn¡¯t growing more suspicious of her... ¡°I just feel that Xiao Si¡¯s wife, she seems different from what you described.¡± In the side house, Chu Tianrui flicked the ash from his cigarette, pondering as he spoke. ¡°Oh? How is she different?¡± Wen Lixin came over with a cup of honey water, her belly slightly protruding after five months of pregnancy. She wore a beige dress, looking elegantly beautiful, not gaining much weight during pregnancy, and maintaining a dignified air. ¡°You said Xiao Si¡¯s wife really liked Lixuan, right? But today, it seemed like she got along pretty well with Xiao Si. She wasn¡¯t opposing Xiao Si at every turn like the rumors suggested. Could it be that she has fallen for Xiao Si?¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Wen Lixin denied outright, ¡°She has liked Lixuan since childhood; besides him, she couldn¡¯t possibly like anyone else. Getting along on the surface is not difficult; given Xiao Si¡¯s character, to bring her to such a place, she would naturally make an effort.¡± Wen Lixin finished speaking and took a sip of her honey water. Chu Tianrui also extinguished his cigarette and nodded in agreement, ¡°Indeed, if she doesn¡¯t first gain Xiao Si¡¯s trust, how could she earn her freedom? Without freedom, how could she meet Lixuan and be of use to us?¡± Wen Lixin raised an eyebrow looking at the smug smile on Chu Tianrui¡¯s face, ¡°Have you met her?¡± ¡°Just happened to bump into her, chatted a few words, and I casually mentioned Lixuan. From her reaction, it seemed like she indeed cares a lot about Lixuan.¡± That demeanor didn¡¯t look fake. It seems she really is deceiving Xiao Si. ¡°What else did you say?¡± ¡°I told her that we would help her, that she should just do whatever she wants.¡± If she¡¯s smart enough, she¡¯ll know what to do. Wen Lixin nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s not be hasty, let¡¯s see when Lixuan meets her.¡± Chu Yihan is not someone easy to deal with. Chu Tianrui nodded, a sharp gleam flashing through his eyes. Chapter 50 - 50 50 Astonishing ?50: Chapter 50 Astonishing 50: Chapter 50 Astonishing Nightfall descended. Chu Garden was brimming with guests, buzzing with excitement. Su Ge was seated in front of the makeup mirror, already dressed in the gown designed by Linda. A pale blue, star-speckled evening dress, unassumingly graceful, adorning her with a galaxy of stars, stunning beyond compare. Su Ge was very satisfied when she first received the design sketch from Linda. Unexpectedly, Linda had made minor improvements to the finished product¡ª it was indeed flawless. The gown had been delivered to the Chu Family that morning, personally brought to Chu Garden by Su Ge. Linda had met the stringent demands of Chu Yihan, completing the work on time. With such talent, it¡¯s no wonder she became the chief designer at DY Group at such a young age. ¡°Wow...¡± Su Ge was lost in thought when the makeup artist responsible for her party makeup suddenly let out an exclamation. Su Ge was momentarily stunned, then looked at herself in the mirror and froze. ¡°Miss Su, you are simply too beautiful, the loveliest among all the guests I have ever seen.¡± She had done makeup for countless socialites of Rong City, but none of them compared to the beauty of Miss Su post-makeup. Of course, Miss Su was naturally fresh and ethereal even before makeup, just that without the layers, she didn¡¯t stand out much from those well-made-up socialites. But now, with her makeup done, she truly outshines those women by miles. No wonder Chairman Chu favors her exclusively. Those women outside, each vying to cling to Chairman Chu, whether they are popular actresses or so-called leading socialites, who could surpass Miss Su? Having tasted delicacies, how could Chairman Chu settle for anything less? Su Ge was just eighteen when she started accompanying Chu Yihan, a freshman in college, still clueless about makeup. Of course, after being with Chu Yihan, she still didn¡¯t know much. But Chu Yihan would give her makeup and skincare from top brands every year, and sometimes she would excitedly try to do her own makeup, practicing for years, yet she only mastered the basics and light makeup. She had never imagined that the real her, once made up, could be so dazzling. Is that... really her? Su Ge couldn¡¯t help but reach out to touch her own face. The face in the mirror had exquisitely defined features that could serve as a template for plastic surgery¡ª gently arched mist eyebrows above a pair of sparkling, animated eyes, and long lashes that seemed to be applied with a brush. Thanks to her naturally dense and long lashes, the makeup artist didn¡¯t need to attach false ones, merely applying mascara made her look hundreds of times better than if she had worn fakes. Beneath those sparkling eyes, her nose was perfectly straight and the tip just the right size, a bit of blush powder applied to both the tip and her ears gave off a natural, light red hue, looking utterly adorable as if it were radiating from her skin. Su Ge¡¯s face alone was sweet and charming, making her unsuitable for overly bright lipstick colors. Just a coat of naturally colored lip balm on her soft, pink lips made her look stunning. But since it was for a party, the makeup artist felt a brighter lip color would be more dazzling and attention-grabbing under the lights. Selecting from a range of high-end lipsticks, she ultimately pulled out a tomato-colored Armani Lipstick. ¡°Miss Su, let me add a bit more color to your lips. Tonight at the party, you will surely be the most radiant and enchanting one.¡± Su Ge glanced at the color in the makeup artist¡¯s hand, not too intense, and did not refuse. The makeup artist gently twisted open the lipstick, just about to apply it to Su Ge¡¯s lips when the door to the makeup room was abruptly pushed open. Chu Yihan, clad in a silver suit, stood coolly at the doorway. Chapter 51 - 51 51 Do You Like Her After She Puts on Makeup ?51: Chapter 51: Do You Like Her After She Puts on Makeup? 51: Chapter 51: Do You Like Her After She Puts on Makeup? The cold air instantly filled the entire makeup room. Su Ge subconsciously looked over, slightly widening her eyes. Having gotten used to seeing Chu Yihan in a black suit, it seemed like he became a different person wearing this color. The noble and elegant silver suited his cold temperament perfectly. His handsome face, sculpted as if by a knife, appeared even colder under the white crystal light. His deep, pitch-black eyes seemed bottomless. The makeup artist stared dumbfounded at him, eyes full of amazement. It was no wonder he was voted the most handsome man in Rong City by thousands of girls; his appearance was incomparable, daring anyone to claim second place would leave no one claiming the first. She had studied makeup for many years and had never seen a man¡¯s appearance reach such perfection. Capable of being both masculine and feminine, both tough and gentle. Originally opposing extremes, he fused them together perfectly; if his aura wasn¡¯t so thoroughly cold, he would simply seem like a living enchantment. It was this very aura... The makeup artist shrank her neck and quickly averted her gaze. ¡°Yihan, why are you here?¡± Su Ge¡¯s makeup was only missing lipstick now; she hadn¡¯t expected Chu Yihan to come at this time, feeling both shocked and pleased. Today, she had applied makeup especially for him. She had once attended a banquet just to see Wen Lixuan, carelessly going without makeup. Now, since she was attending as his companion, she obviously couldn¡¯t disgrace him. Did he like her with makeup? ¡°Get out.¡± His deep voice lacked any warmth. Before Su Ge could react, the makeup artist quickly left. Chu Yihan then entered the room. Su Ge, observing his even colder face, saw her smile gradually fade. Uh, what happened? Why does he look so upset? Chu Yihan walked straight towards Su Ge. Su Ge¡¯s body stiffened until Chu Yihan stopped where the makeup artist had previously stood, then she stiffly raised her neck and mustered the courage to meet his swirling black eyes. As Su Ge looked up, Chu Yihan finally saw her face clearly. His gaze lingered for a while on her delicate, doll-like face, but no ripple stirred in his eyes. As if to him, Su Ge with or without makeup looked the same. Watching his reaction, Su Ge felt slightly disappointed. After all, she had applied makeup for him. Her face had just faltered when a pair of icy palms suddenly landed on her face. Su Ge hadn¡¯t even reacted before her face was lifted. She stared in shock at the stormy waves brewing in those black vortexes, then surging towards her in an instant. Frightened, she closed her eyes, and immediately felt a painful sensation on her lips. A rough and dominant kiss, not very long, but Su Ge¡¯s lips and teeth were already filled with his scent. ¡°The makeup has smudged, I¡¯ll wait for you outside.¡± Chu Yihan gently wiped the saliva off Su Ge¡¯s lips, left a cold sentence, and turned to walk out. Su Ge dumbly watched his retreating figure. What¡¯s wrong with him? Chu Yihan had just left when the makeup artist quickly came back in. She touched up Su Ge¡¯s makeup at the fastest speed and helped her with her hairstyle. Once everything was fixed, Su Ge didn¡¯t dare to linger in the makeup room and quickly went out to find Chu Yihan. But to her surprise, instead of Chu Yihan waiting at the door, it was Ling Feng. His face looked extremely impatient. ¡°Assistant Ling?¡± Su Ge looked around the corridor but still didn¡¯t see Chu Yihan, ¡°Where¡¯s Yihan?¡± Didn¡¯t he say he¡¯d wait for her outside? ¡°You think the Fourth Master has the time to...¡± Ling Feng¡¯s words cut off halfway as he looked up at the delicate doll in front of him and suddenly paused. Chapter 52 - 52 52 A Beautiful Woman is a Source of Trouble ?52: Chapter 52: A Beautiful Woman is a Source of Trouble 52: Chapter 52: A Beautiful Woman is a Source of Trouble Her eyes were filled with amazement. Su Ge was rather calm in response to Ling Feng¡¯s reaction, ¡°Assistant Ling, weren¡¯t you under house arrest? How come you are here?¡± Wasn¡¯t this person put under house arrest by Chu Yihan for leaving his post without permission at the company yesterday? Was the ban lifted so quickly? Mention of being under house arrest made Ling Feng feel deeply irritated. Suddenly, he felt that beauty and such were all but fleeting clouds. Beauty was always a curse, the prettier the flower, the more poisonous it was. He must stay clear-headed all the time! ¡°I am here, of course, by Fourth Master¡¯s command.¡± If it wasn¡¯t for this woman, would the Fourth Master have put him under house arrest? Ling Feng scoffed with disdain deep in his heart. ¡°Then where did your Fourth Master go?¡± It didn¡¯t take her much time to touch up her makeup and do her hair, right? ¡°Fourth Master is at the main residence entertaining important guests; he asked me to bring you over,¡± said Ling Feng with a hint of impatience. Glancing at Su Ge inadvertently, his gaze lingered on her delicate face, his own face inexplicably blushed, and he hastily turned to go down the stairs. Su Ge followed him without question, but because her dress was somewhat long and she was wearing high heels, going down the stairs was not very convenient, so she had to hold onto the handrail and step down cautiously. Ling Feng, who was walking ahead, seemed to notice her careful movements and subconsciously slowed down his pace. After a few steps, he simply stopped, watched Su Ge go front of him, and then slowly followed. Su Ge went down the stairs first and glanced sideways at Ling Feng, who was closely following, and said lightly with a smile, ¡°Assistant Ling, I find you quite gentlemanly.¡± He obviously disliked her so much, yet he followed behind to protect her. Shouldn¡¯t he be hoping for her to stumble and die? ¡°This is the duty of a subordinate.¡± Ling Feng¡¯s face bore no expression. But his eyes dared not look directly at today¡¯s Su Ge. ¡°Let¡¯s just assume that¡¯s the case then.¡± Su Ge couldn¡¯t be bothered to expose him, picking up her dress hem and walking out. Ling Feng¡¯s brow slightly furrowed, and he quickly followed. Who knew that Su Ge would suddenly stop again? Ling Feng nearly bumped into her, stopping less than thirty centimeters from Su Ge, and stared at her in her stunning star-studded dress, his pupils dilating with shock. ¡°Assistant Ling, is your Fourth Master not in a very good mood tonight? Even back when he came to my dressing room, he seemed annoyed as if he were venting on someone. It wasn¡¯t you who provoked him, right?¡± Su Ge tilted her little face, her resplendent star-like eyes carrying a hint of suspicion. ¡°Me? How would I dare to!¡± Ling Feng took a big step back. A flicker of light sped across his eyes; the Fourth Master had just found out before entering this woman¡¯s makeup room that people from the Wen Family had arrived at Chu Garden. If the Fourth Master was angry with someone, then without doubt¨Cit was with this woman. As for others, they were not worth the Fourth Master¡¯s anger. Su Ge continued to stare unblinkingly at Ling Feng. She knew he didn¡¯t have the courage; then who did? ¡°Fourth Master¡¯s mood is always unpredictable; I can¡¯t guess what he¡¯s thinking.¡± Is that so? Su Ge half believed and half doubted. The main residence buzzed with excitement, and the guests of Chu Garden had all arrived. Such occasions were essentially a networking event. Most people who came here did so to build connections. As Su Ge entered, her arrival certainly caught the attention of many. However, possibly because she wasn¡¯t well-known, people glanced at her and then turned away. The people who could come to Chu Garden were leaders in their respective industries. In this place, beauty was the least valuable commodity. Chapter 53 - 53 53 The Scumbag Aura ?53: Chapter 53: The Scumbag Aura 53: Chapter 53: The Scumbag Aura Su Ge looked around but could not find Chu Yihan¡¯s figure. Even Chu Yihan¡¯s elder brothers were nowhere to be seen. ¡°Inside.¡± Just as she was puzzled, Ling Feng pointed to the inner hall inside the large hall. Only then did Su Ge remember that Chu Garden¡¯s hall had two levels. The guests entertained in the inner layer were the true VIPs. They held higher status and prestige than the guests outside. Su Ge glanced at the somewhat dim lighting of the inner layer, lifted a stray hair beside her ear, and entered with some nervousness. Ling Feng watched her tucking her hair behind her ear and was momentarily stupefied, before he realized something and quickly averted his gaze. He must stay clear-headed, clear-headed! As soon as Su Ge entered, she saw Chu Yihan. He was seated under the dim light, his porcelain-white hand holding a wine glass, chatting with friends about something. His silver suit shone with a cold luster, and his noble and handsome face seemed to be slightly upturned at the corners of his mouth, indicating he was in a good mood. It was really rare for Su Ge to see him smile. It has to be said, when he smiled, he was truly attractive, like a flower blooming on the summit of a snow-capped mountain, precious and captivating. Seated beside him were two men and a woman: Mo Xingyuan, Lin Shaoyang, and Shen Zhiyue. These were a few of his best friends among the not so many he had. Of course, being friends with Chu Yihan, each of these individuals also held extraordinary identities. Mo Xingyuan was the famous president of Shengyu Group, which had multiple cinema chains, media, and film production companies under its banner. Nowadays, whether it was the top stars of the entertainment industry or popular fresh faces, nearly all were signed artists with Shengyu. It could be said that Shengyu Group controlled the entire entertainment economy, and Mo Xingyuan determined the life or death of everyone¡¯s career. Lin Shaoyang was the young master of Lin Group. Although Lin Group has always kept a low profile, the Lin family had been around for a very long time, tracing back perhaps as far as 500 years, and the true strength of the Lin family was unfathomable. Shen Zhiyue... Su Ge¡¯s gaze landed on the woman in the red dress, radiant and dazzling, with a bright smile, and her eyes became slightly complex. A well-known talented woman of Rong City. An undefeated, golden lawyer with an unblemished record. Her father was the mayor, and although her family background was not extremely distinguished, she was the dream woman of numerous men in Rong City. For she possessed not only exceptional talent but also a hot and sexy figure, as well as a beautiful face that could be both innocent and seductive. Rumors claimed her undefeated courtroom record was because the opposing lawyers would lose their composure upon seeing her, leading to her numerous effortless victories. For such a dazzling person to be friends with Chu Yihan and group was not surprising. After all, excellent people are drawn to each other. Su Ge stood in place, suddenly unwilling to step forward. The people there were too dazzling, like a gathering of stars, and she might be just a stinking stone in a cesspit. Nothing but a wicked reputation. ¡°Xiao Ge.¡± A refined and courteous man suddenly appeared in front of her, his eyes filled with surprise upon seeing her, ¡°It really is you, I thought I had mistaken you for someone else.¡± Wen Lixuan was dressed in a black suit. Though his looks might not be as outstanding as any of those seated there, he was still handsome, especially with his elegant demeanor, making him seem like an extremely good boy next door, someone who inspired unconditional trust. Su Ge was once fooled by this scumbag¡¯s charm, and even thinking about it now made her clench her teeth in anger. She looked at the face in front of her, familiar to the point of being unbearable, and her hand involuntarily clenched into a fist. If it weren¡¯t for the last shred of rationality desperately holding her back, she would unhesitatingly throw a punch and wreck his face! Chapter 54 - 54 54 Coming Again ?54: Chapter 54 Coming Again? 54: Chapter 54 Coming Again? ¡°Brother Lixuan.¡± Slowly loosening the fist in her hand, Su Ge almost gagged, gently calling out. She needed to keep her cool. Minor impatience could spoil great plans. One who aims to accomplish great things must first endure hardships both mentally and in tolerance! She would skip dinner tonight! ¡°Xiao Ge, it¡¯s been two years, you¡¯ve changed so much I almost couldn¡¯t recognize you,¡± Wen Lixuan said, his hand instinctively raising to touch the hair near Su Ge¡¯s ear. It was his usual gesture, always so refreshingly sleazy. Su Ge instinctively stepped back to avoid it, only then realizing she had narrowly escaped. An extremely cold gaze had been watching this place unknowingly, and the entire hall was filled with a bone-chilling coldness. The man sitting under the light had a clean, vanished smile on his face, his lips tightly pursed, his handsome face so tense it seemed like it could split at any moment. The porcelain-white hand holding the wine glass, now clearly showing whitened knuckles. Yet, the glass hadn¡¯t shattered. The quality was absolutely top-notch! This was not the place to catch up with Wen Lixuan. ¡°Brother Lixuan, I have something else to attend to, please excuse me.¡± Su Ge hurriedly left after dropping that line, heading towards the table where Chu Yihan was. Wen Lixuan stood in place, staring blankly as Su Ge left. A feeling of inexplicable loss rose from the bottom of his heart. What was going on? Watching Su Ge sit next to Chu Yihan, a mysterious and deep light flashed through Wen Lixuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for being late.¡± Feeling the coldness of the man next to her like icy stone, Su Ge didn¡¯t dare to look at him, awkwardly greeting the others. Mo Xingyuan was famously cold; he silently drank his wine, not even glancing at Su Ge. Lin Shaoyang had been keenly watching Su Ge with a vague smile as she walked over. Shen Zhiyue first looked at Chu Yihan, seeing he didn¡¯t reject Su Ge sitting next to him, she then understood something and lifted her wine glass, ¡°Miss Su, I¡¯m Shen Zhiyue.¡± ¡°Ms. Shen, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡± The servant had already poured wine for Su Ge, who raised her glass towards Shen Zhiyue. Shen Zhiyue downed her drink in one go. Originally only intending to take a sip, Su Ge saw Shen Zhiyue finish hers and felt she couldn¡¯t just put the glass down, so she steeled herself and drank the whole glass. Shen Zhiyue looked at her thoughtfully, as if finding her different from the rumors. ¡°Miss Su, you have a good tolerance for alcohol.¡± Lin Shaoyang suddenly spoke, raising the wine glass before him, ¡°I am Lin Shaoyang, pleased to meet you.¡± Not again? Although Su Ge could hold her liquor, she hadn¡¯t eaten tonight, and too much alcohol would certainly upset her stomach. But it was their first meeting, and with Lin Shaoyang offering her a toast, she couldn¡¯t refuse without giving face. Su Ge picked up the freshly poured wine, ¡°Mr. Lin, pleased to meet you.¡± Lin Shaoyang¡¯s smile deepened as he finished his glass in one gulp. Su Ge¡¯s eyes widened; this man was deliberately making it hard for her, wasn¡¯t he? Su Ge glanced sideways at Chu Yihan next to her, only to see him sitting indifferently, his aura not as cold as before but clearly uninterested in any of this. Su Ge knew Chu Yihan could handle his liquor well. Tilting her head back, she downed an entire glass of red wine. A faint sense of nausea began to stir in her stomach, but she suppressed the discomfort and gently set down the glass. ¡°Xingyuan, it¡¯s your turn now.¡± Lin Shaoyang nudged Mo Xingyuan with his elbow. Su Ge blinked in shock. Again? Chapter 55 - 55 55 Drinking for Her ?55: Chapter 55: Drinking for Her 55: Chapter 55: Drinking for Her ¡°Mo Xingyuan.¡± Mo Xingyuan, however, did not raise his glass to toast but merely turned his gaze faintly towards Su Ge after she had drunk two glasses of wine and nodded slightly at her. His handsome face remained emotionlessly cold. ¡°Mr. Mo, hello.¡± Su Ge breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn¡¯t stomach any more if she kept drinking. Lin Shaoyang glanced at Mo Xingyuan, the corners of his mouth deepening slightly, put down his crossed legs, picked up the glass of wine from the table, and once again raised it towards Su Ge, ¡°Xingyuan has been kept on a tight leash at home recently, can¡¯t drink too much, so I¡¯ll drink on his behalf. You don¡¯t mind, do you, Su Xiaoge?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Just having let out a sigh of relief, Su Ge¡¯s face turned pale in an instant. This Lin Shaoyang was deliberately making things difficult for her. No need for further words, she had already agreed to drink for two people, and it would be against etiquette not to accept Mo Xingyuan¡¯s toast. Su Ge reached out her hand to pick up the glass. Before her hand touched the glass, a hand with distinct knuckles stretched over and directly picked up the glass in front of her. ¡°I¡¯ll drink on her behalf. Do you mind?¡± The voice was husky, cold, and somber. Lin Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, immediately put on a smiling face, ¡°Don¡¯t mind at all, of course, don¡¯t mind. Drinking for one¡¯s own wife, naturally makes more sense than me drinking on behalf of a brother.¡± Lin Shaoyang quickly finished the drink in his glass after speaking. Chu Yihan slightly tilted his head back, elegantly and smoothly downing the glass of wine in one go. Su Ge looked at him, her expression slightly complex. Shen Zhiyue¡¯s hand holding her glass seemed to tighten slowly, her gaze shifting back and forth between Su Ge and Chu Yihan, curiosity gleaming in her eyes. Wasn¡¯t it said that the two of them had a poor relationship? So, is this an act, or are those rumors from the outside false? Although today¡¯s banquet was specifically held for Grandpa Chu, he only appeared briefly during the climax of the event. Then it was the Chu Family brothers mingling around the venue. Wen Lixuan also mingled with the crowd from the time Su Ge arrived and greeted her. After that, he didn¡¯t talk to her again. Besides the leaders from various industries, the venue also had plenty of top socialites and scions of wealthy families. Bai Jingya¡¯s father, although the director of Rong City Private Hospital, wasn¡¯t quite top-notch, so Bai Jingya did not attend today¡¯s banquet. Chu Yihan stayed at the venue the whole time, and Su Ge didn¡¯t dare to actively seek out Wen Lixuan, but she noticed Wen Lixin still mingling while pregnant and casually picked up a glass of juice to walk over to her. ¡°Sister Lixin.¡± Wen Lixin was chatting with a lady of high society. After excusing herself, she turned her gaze, ¡°Xiao Ge?¡± The lady tactfully walked away with her glass. Su Ge signaled with her eyes towards Wen Lixin and then walked to a discreet corner to sit down. Wen Lixin followed right away, looking Su Ge up and down, a mix of surprise and marvel in her eyes, ¡°How long has it been since we last saw each other, I didn¡¯t expect you to change so much. I didn¡¯t even recognize you just now, thought you were some socialite from a prestigious family, so beautiful.¡± ¡°Lixin... Sister Lixin is joking.¡± Hearing Su Ge address herself as sister-in-law, Wen Lixin¡¯s smile stiffened slightly as if only then she remembered that she was now Chu Yihan¡¯s person. ¡°Suddenly hearing you call me sister-in-law, it feels so unfamiliar. But, we are kind of a family now.¡± Wen Lixin sipped her juice lightly, seemingly a bit melancholic. Su Ge¡¯s expression was conflicted, her mouth opened to say something but then she held back. ¡°Xiao Si treats you well, doesn¡¯t he?¡± Wen Lixin observed Su Ge¡¯s expression. Chapter 56 - 56 56 A Dog Cant Change Its Habit of Eating Poop ?56: Chapter 56: A Dog Can¡¯t Change Its Habit of Eating Poop 56: Chapter 56: A Dog Can¡¯t Change Its Habit of Eating Poop Su Ge bit her lip tightly, her eyes gradually misting over. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, is Xiao Si not treating you well?¡± Wen Lixin hurriedly put down the juice in her hand, full of concern. Su Ge, still biting her lip, did not speak. The hand holding the cup trembled slightly, eyes reddening, wearing an expression of extreme forbearance. Wen Lixin seemed to be deeply distressed. She reached out to pat Su Ge¡¯s shoulder, ¡°In twenty minutes, come to the side house to find me, let¡¯s have a good chat.¡± Wen Lixin left after dropping those words. Su Ge watched her leave, the mist in her eyes slowly dissipating, followed by a flicker of cold laughter. Wen Lixin, as expected, was waiting for her. A pain shot through her palm. Su Ge furrowed her brows and quickly placed the cup on the table. Glancing at the palm reddened by her own pinch, her nails were almost digging into the flesh. She quickly and gently soothed it. Damn, holding back tears is really not easy. Twenty minutes later was a bustling dance party. Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, Su Ge secretly sneaked out of the hall. Wen Lixin must have been worried she wouldn¡¯t be able to find which side house, so she specially left a servant outside waiting for her. Su Ge quickly followed the person to the side house. Just as the two had left, in the night, a shadow emerged. Ling Feng watched the departing figures, a cold light flashing across his eyes. As expected, old habits die hard! He knew this woman had been deceiving Fourth Master all along. She tried every means to come to Chu Garden, just for another man. That man had just left, and she immediately followed. A glint in Ling Feng¡¯s eyes flashed, and he turned to enter the hall. He must report to Fourth Master immediately. From afar, Su Ge could see someone waiting outside the side house. Upon closer inspection, it was surprisingly Wen Lixuan. Her pace unconsciously slowed. Why was Lixuan so proactive? When she had once come to see Lixuan at Wen Lixin¡¯s place, she had waited for him for a long time. But after talking only a few words, he left. She had been heartbroken for a long time. After all, she had tried every means to come to Chu Garden, just to see him. ¡°Xiao Ge, you¡¯re finally here.¡± As soon as Su Ge appeared, Wen Lixuan excitedly greeted her. A flash crossed Su Ge¡¯s eyes, and she suddenly stepped forward, ¡°Brother Lixuan, I can¡¯t believe I¡¯m seeing you here, Brother Lixuan, is it really you?¡± Wen Lixuan, frightened by her sudden advance, took a step back, and looking at Su Ge¡¯s infatuated expression, he suddenly found her beautiful face somewhat tiresome. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me. Sister is waiting for us, let¡¯s go inside.¡± Wen Lixuan turned and walked into the house. Su Ge watched his somewhat flustered steps, a hint of cold laughter secretly flashing in her eyes. Wen Lixin, sitting on the sofa in a white long dress, with a slight bulge at her abdomen that did not detract from her grace, immediately smiled upon seeing Su Ge, ¡°Xiao Ge, you came.¡± ¡°Sister Lixin.¡± Hearing Su Ge change her form of address, Wen Lixin¡¯s smile deepened slightly, ¡°Why don¡¯t you call me Second Sister-in-law anymore?¡± As if poking at Su Ge¡¯s sore spot, her expression immediately became sorrowful, and she silently found a chair to sit down. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Xiao Ge, I didn¡¯t mean to.¡± Wen Lixin gave Wen Lixuan, who was standing aside, a look. Wen Lixuan¡¯s expression changed slightly, and he personally poured a cup of tea and brought it to Su Ge. Today, Su Ge, in her starry long dress, matched her clean and fresh temperament, along with exquisite makeup and her half-up, big curly hair, she was like a beloved princess from a fairy tale. Chapter 57 - 57 57 Poor Acting ?57: Chapter 57 Poor Acting 57: Chapter 57 Poor Acting ¡°Thank you, Brother Lixuan!¡± Wen Lixuan was somewhat lost in thought when Su Ge¡¯s excited remarks suddenly snapped him back to reality. Was he really staring blankly at this idiot? Crazy! Wen Lixuan took a couple of steps back before responding, ¡°No need to thank me.¡± Wen Lixin chuckled from the side, ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but looking at you two, it still feels like the old days, as if nothing has changed.¡± ¡°Sister Lixin, I¡¯ve never changed,¡± Su Ge said, holding her teacup in her hands, her eyes clear as she looked at Wen Lixin. ¡°Oh? Really?¡± Wen Lixin¡¯s brows slightly raised. ¡°Of course, staying by Chu Yihan¡¯s side was forced, I really, really don¡¯t...¡± Su Ge¡¯s voice halted there. Don¡¯t like Chu Yihan at all? She used to say that. But why now, do these words seem so hard to say? ¡°Okay, Xiao Ge, you don¡¯t have to say anything, your sister understands, I know you best,¡± Wen Lixin sighed, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Chu Yihan, you and Lixuan could have gotten married next year.¡± Wen Lixuan sat down at this moment, his expression indifferent, his face showing no emotion. Such an obvious scheme, and Su Ge had previously failed to see it. She thought Wen Lixuan was really going to marry her, excited like a monkey. But now, her heart was calm. However, to avoid suspicion from the two, she performed the excited monkey again. ¡°Unfortunately... as long as Chu Yihan is here, Lixuan will never be able to marry you.¡± Wen Lixin threw a bucket of cold water just in time. As excited as Su Ge was before, that¡¯s how angry she was now, ¡°Chu Yihan, this demon, it¡¯s all his fault! He ruined my happiness!¡± ¡°No, Xiao Ge, happiness is something you can control. Fate, too, can be changed by oneself.¡± Just like in a previous life, Wen Lixin, like a caring elder sister, patiently taught her how to grasp her own happiness and change her fate. Wen Lixuan quietly sat aside, looking somewhat melancholy. These siblings are wasting their talent not going into acting! How stupid was she to not see the flaws in such poor acting? ¡°Xiao Ge, you did well today, in front of Chu Yihan, you need to keep your composure, you need to use Chu Yihan¡¯s love for you to slowly break away from his constraints.¡± ¡°Mhmm, I know, Sister Lixin, I will try to control my longing for Brother Lixuan and deal with Chu Yihan properly.¡± Su Ge finished speaking and raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes, which had no tears. Wen Lixuan¡¯s face clearly flashed a hint of impatience. ¡°Xiao Ge, I believe in you.¡± Wen Lixin grabbed Su Ge¡¯s hand and placed it in her palm. Her gaze suddenly fell on her wrist. Staring unblinkingly at the jade bracelet. ¡°Sister Lixin, do you like this bracelet? I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Su Ge said as she started to remove the bracelet. Wen Lixin quickly stopped her, ¡°No, this was given to you by the Old Master; even if you don¡¯t like it, you should wear it to avoid making the Old Master suspicious.¡± The Old Master was a clever man, if he started to suspect, it would be troublesome. Though she really did like that bracelet. She didn¡¯t expect the Old Master, who had cherished it for so long, would just give it away like that. That old man truly was most partial to Chu Yihan! After not staying long at the secondary house, Su Ge left straight for the main house. Chu Yihan must know she came to see Wen Lixuan. The longer she stayed, the more dangerous it was. As she approached the main house, a hand suddenly reached out, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her into the night. Chapter 58 - 58 58 Take the Initiative to Kiss Him ?58: Chapter 58: Take the Initiative to Kiss Him 58: Chapter 58: Take the Initiative to Kiss Him Her back slammed hard against the wall, and before Su Ge could clearly see the person in front of her, her lips were forcefully sealed. His kiss was so brutal as if he wanted to swallow her whole, and within seconds, there was a metallic taste of blood spreading in Su Ge¡¯s mouth. She twisted her petite body, trying to struggle, but the man gave her no opportunity, pressing both of her tender, slender hands above her head and slamming them hard against the wall. The cold, hard wall emitted a dull ¡°thump,¡± and Su Ge felt as if the skin on the back of her hands had been scraped off. Their fingers were tightly interlocked, and she couldn¡¯t imagine what state his fingers were in... ...Did this person want to perish together with her? Su Ge was being kissed so intensely that she could hardly breathe; the harder she resisted, the stronger his force became. Out of desperation, she slowly began to accept his kiss, gently reciprocating, bit by bit. ¡°Mmm...¡± She kept swallowing the man¡¯s saliva, involuntarily letting out a low moan. The man¡¯s movements suddenly paused. Seizing the opportunity, Su Ge shifted from passive to active, gently taking his lips into hers, mimicking the way he sucked on her, gently sucking and nibbling on his lips. The man seemed to freeze completely, motionless. Su Ge¡¯s small hands slowly slipped from between his fingers, wrapping around his neck, standing on her tiptoes, and deepening the kiss. The violent air around the man gradually subsided, like a fierce beast that had been stroked. Su Ge kissed him for a long time, until she was sure his breathing had completely calmed down, then she slowly moved away from his lips. Then her hands gently wrapped around his strong back, her small face softly leaning against his chest, coquettishly snuggling in his arms. In the dark night, the man¡¯s furious face completely returned to normal. His scarred hands tenderly embraced the soft person in his arms. His chilly, cold eyes slowly closed. He hated betrayal and deception! But... He liked her. In a hurry to return, Su Ge suddenly remembered she hadn¡¯t said goodbye to the Old Master. Chu Yihan¡¯s father seemed to have rushed back at the end of the evening party, but she hadn¡¯t seen him. At this moment, the two sat quietly inside an extended Lincoln, the atmosphere was subtly awkward. Ling Feng was also in the car, glancing from Chu Yihan to Su Ge. The look of bewilderment in his eyes never dissipated. He just couldn¡¯t understand what was going on with Fourth Master. He knew this woman had gone to meet her old lover, was clearly so angry, had clearly brewed a storm of at least category twenty, but how had the storm dissipated in the short while he hadn¡¯t seen them? The calm sea and clear sky, it wasn¡¯t an exaggeration to describe the current situation. How did this woman manage it in just a short time? Could it be she gave Fourth Master some kind of sedative? That couldn¡¯t be right though, with Fourth Master¡¯s temperament, no sedative would work when he was truly enraged. Damn, it was a miracle. ¡°Come here,¡± Chu Yihan suddenly spoke up. Su Ge, who was just feeling a bit sleepy, was instantly startled awake. Seeing Chu Yihan¡¯s deep black eyes looking at her, and since they weren¡¯t far apart to begin with, she stood up and walked over to him. Just as she was about to sit down, Chu Yihan stretched out a big hand, wrapped it around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace. Then tenderly stroking her head, he said, ¡°Go to sleep.¡± Ling Feng was almost shocked to the point of dropping his jaw. He quickly shifted his gaze away. Well, there goes his hope of Fourth Master disciplining this flirtatious woman; instead, Fourth Master was completely tamed by her. By the time they arrived home, it was already deep into the night. Chu Yihan personally took the sleeping Su Ge out of the car, cradling her in his arms all the way upstairs. Chapter 59 - 59 59 Delivering Medicine ?59: Chapter 59 Delivering Medicine 59: Chapter 59 Delivering Medicine Gently laying the person down on the bed, Chu Yihan watched the still sleeping woman, his gaze deep and solemn. She seemed not to be sleeping peacefully, with a slight frown on her brow. Her delicate little face, makeup smeared, lips swollen red. He just watched her, motionlessly sitting by the bed for over an hour. Leaving, he instructed a servant at the door, ¡°Tell the Lady to remove her makeup before she sleeps again.¡± ¡°Yes...¡± The servant looked into the room tentatively. Given the Lady¡¯s fiery temper, waking her up from deep sleep to remove makeup ¨C could she get so angry she¡¯d burn down the house? Yet, wearing makeup to bed is really damaging to the skin. With gritted teeth, the servant still went inside. Chu Yihan did not return to his room but went directly to the study. His elongated shadow, lonely and desolate. Su Ge was dreaming when suddenly startled awake by a slap, her eyes wide open. ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°Ah...¡± Two screams erupted simultaneously. Su Ge¡¯s face paled with fright from the big face looming overhead, while the servant standing at the bedside turned deathly pale from her sudden wide eyes. The servant immediately knelt down, ¡°Lady, I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to frighten you, I just wanted to wake you to freshen up...¡± Listening to the servant¡¯s voice, tinged with a sob, Su Ge¡¯s complexion recovered, she rubbed her temples, ¡°I also gave you a fright, why are you apologizing.¡± Then she waved her hand, ¡°Alright, I¡¯m awake now, you can go out.¡± ¡°Yes...¡± The servant, as if escaping death, trembled and withdrew. Su Ge sat up in bed, taking a while to collect herself. Didn¡¯t she remember being in the car? How did she end up in bed upon awakening? Looking outside the window, the moonlight was clear, the night wind occasionally blowing, with the sound of the wind whooshing in the silent night. When did she get home? Where is Chu Yihan? Probably zoned out on the bed for about ten minutes, Su Ge got up to wash. After cleansing herself thoroughly, coming out of the bathroom, Su Ge rubbed her both red swollen hands, thinking whether to find some ointment to apply. She had never seen Chu Yihan lose his temper, didn¡¯t expect him to be so terrifying when enraged. She thought that the back of her hands would have been scraped raw. Luckily, it was just reddened a little, the skin had not come off. Wait... If her skin didn¡¯t come off, then his hands¡ª The wounded area was precisely on the fingers, how would he hold a pen tomorrow? Su Ge frowned and turned to search for medicine all over the room. At the study¡¯s doorway, Assistant Ling stood erect like a pole. ¡°Assistant Ling, why are you here?¡± Su Ge, holding medicine, looked at the study, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me, is Fourth Master still in the study?¡± It was so late, and coming from Chu Garden, hadn¡¯t he gone back to his room to rest? ¡°What do you think?¡± Assistant Ling unapologetically rolled his eyes at Su Ge. Thought Fourth Master¡¯s anger had subsided, it seems not. All because of this promiscuous woman, making Fourth Master unable to sleep again. ¡°Cough, since he¡¯s not sleeping, I¡¯ll personally deliver it...¡± Initially worried that Chu Yihan had already rested, she planned to hand the ointment to Assistant Ling to give to Chu Yihan. Since he is in the study, she would deliver it personally and make sure he applies the medication. ¡°Deliver what?¡± Assistant Ling looked suspiciously at Su Ge. Su Ge raised the medicine bottle in her hand, ¡°This, Fourth Master¡¯s hand is injured, it should affect his work efficiency, I¡¯m bringing him the medicine.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll handle it.¡± Assistant Ling reached to take the medicine bottle from Su Ge¡¯s hand. Su Ge reflexively pulled her hand back, looking slightly displeased at Assistant Ling, ¡°I said, I¡¯ll personally take it in.¡± Chapter 60 - 60 60 Cant Help But ?60: Chapter 60 Can¡¯t Help But... 60: Chapter 60 Can¡¯t Help But... Is this person too dismissive of her? Noticing the displeasure in Su Ge¡¯s expression, Ling Feng didn¡¯t dare to obstruct her anymore and, albeit reluctantly, stepped aside. Su Ge took a deep breath and gently pushed open the study door. ¡°Snap.¡± The sound of a pen breaking. Chu Yihan¡¯s hand froze on the desk, eyes fixated on the broken pen, his complexion unsightly to the extreme. The room was filled with a chilling aura. Su Ge happened to witness that scene, her eyes widening as she quickly ran over. She rushed straight to the desk and grabbed Chu Yihan¡¯s hand. It was indeed severely injured. His originally well-defined fingers had swollen into a pig¡¯s trotter, and were mottled with purple and red, the skin missing in several places. With his hand in this condition, why was he still signing documents? Su Ge glanced at the broken pen on the desk, then looked at Chu Yihan furiously. He still had the audacity to take out his anger on the pen? At this moment, Chu Yihan also lifted his handsome face, the depths of his dark eyes unwavering as they locked onto Su Ge. ¡°What are you looking at? With your hand hurt like this, why didn¡¯t you call a doctor? Why are you still working?¡± Su Ge was genuinely enraged. Didn¡¯t he know how to feel pain? Were the doctors in the house just for show? Su Ge picked up his other hand, and it was just as injured. Her eyes immediately reddened. It must hurt a lot... Watching the little woman who suddenly barged in, scolded him, and now held his hand with tears in her eyes, Chu Yihan was somewhat stunned. What was she doing? Feeling sorry for him? Or deliberately acting? The light in his dark eyes grew more profound. ¡°Good thing I brought medicine. Don¡¯t move; I¡¯ll apply it for you.¡± Su Ge laid his hand on the desk, then uncapped the medicine bottle in her hand, poured a generous amount into her palm, and gently spread it on Chu Yihan¡¯s hand with her other hand¡¯s fingers. As if worried about causing him pain, her movements were gentle; she would dab on some medicine, then lean in to gently blow on it, just like applying medicine to a child. Chu Yihan sat motionless, allowing Su Ge to apply the medicine, his handsome face stoic. ¡°All done.¡± With all his fingertips covered in ointment, Su Ge blew on them again, and only then did the worry on her face dissipate. This was a medicine she had specially prepared, extremely effective for internal and external injuries. He should be able to hold a pen by tomorrow. ¡°Keep this medicine. If your hand hasn¡¯t reduced in swelling by tomorrow, apply a bit more. Usually, over the course of one night, it should...¡± When Su Ge handed the medicine bottle to Chu Yihan, noticing his penetratingly cold eyes fixed firmly on her, she suddenly remembered something and her face turned pale, ¡°I... I didn¡¯t mean to do that just now...¡± Su Ge really wanted to bash her head with a piece of tofu. What had she just done? Had she actually scolded Chu Yihan? Reprimanded him? Ah... heavens, how could she commit such an outrageous act. She had planned to behave herself after seeing Wen Lixuan tonight, especially to avoid upsetting him. Who knew it had been done on an impulse... ¡°Intentionally what?¡± Su Ge was at a loss for words, yet Chu Yihan picked up her sentence, questioning her in return. That deep face showed no emotions, impossible to read his feelings. ¡°I... I¡¯m sleepy, going back to sleep, you should rest early too, good night.¡± Just as Su Ge turned to slip away, her wrist was caught. The next second, she lost her balance and fell backward, inevitably landing squarely on someone¡¯s lap. Her body stiffened, daring not to move. What... What was he going to do? Although she had scolded him, it wasn¡¯t without reason; it was for his own good, he couldn¡¯t truly be angry with her over this, could he? Chapter 61 - 61 61 Im Relieved That You Had a Good Sleep ?61: Chapter 61: I¡¯m Relieved That You Had a Good Sleep 61: Chapter 61: I¡¯m Relieved That You Had a Good Sleep Besides... she had personally applied the medicine for him... Can they call it even now? ¡°Tomorrow, continue to apply medicine for me.¡± Chu Yihan loosened his grip on her hand after speaking. Su Ge took the chance to move off his leg and turned around with a look of surprise. That¡¯s it? Chu Yihan closed the folder on the table and got up to leave the study. Hey, he¡¯s actually leaving just like that... Su Ge watched his retreating figure. She felt like something wasn¡¯t quite right. The Chu Family had a designated doctor, why did they need her to apply his medicine? She slowly turned her head to look at the medicine bottle on the table. Seems like she had offered herself for the task? The next morning, Chu Yihan was already waiting downstairs. Knowing that he started work early, Su Ge had washed up and came downstairs by six o¡¯clock. But looking at how Chu Yihan was waiting, he was probably there since five. Right now, he stood still as if petrified. Su Ge walked over hesitantly and from a distance, she checked his hand first. The swelling seemed to have gone down a bit, no longer resembling a pig¡¯s trotter. But it was still bruised, blue and purple, greatly affecting its original aesthetic. She carried over the medicine. Ling Feng stood not far away, watching her with sharp eyes. Yesterday, he hadn¡¯t noticed that the Fourth Master¡¯s hand was injured to such an extent. Hmph, it must have something to do with this woman. Could it be that the storm brewing yesterday, which suddenly calmed down to level twenty-something, was because of domestic abuse by this woman? This woman is terrifying! Their poor Fourth Master, why does he fancy such a vicious woman? Seeing Su Ge earnestly applying medicine to Chu Yihan, Ling Feng¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain and contempt. A slap followed by a sweet date, who cares for her sweet dates? ¡°Yihan, did you... sleep well last night?¡± While carefully applying the medicine for Chu Yihan, Su Ge asked. She was always curious about whether he liked the Medicine Pillow she made or not. Her grandfather liked the Medicine Pillow she made so much that he even rewarded her with a bracelet for it. Whether he liked it or not, at least he should say something... So that she could have a clue. And see what kind of gifts she should give him in the future. After all, he had given her various luxury items. Appropriately, within her means, she also wanted to reciprocate with some gifts. ¡°Uh-huh.¡± Chu Yihan responded with an indifferent hum. Su Ge raised her head in surprise to look at him. That¡¯s it? No comment about her Medicine Pillow? ¡°What do you want to say?¡± Though Chu Yihan seemed distracted, he didn¡¯t miss the glance Su Ge gave him. Feeling nervous, Su Ge forced an awkward smile, ¡°Uh, nothing, as long as you slept well, I¡¯m relieved.¡± Since he didn¡¯t bring it up, she¡¯d better not ask. Otherwise, it might seem like she was fishing for compliments. In case he wasn¡¯t satisfied with the Medicine Pillow that would be embarrassing... Chu Yihan glanced at her, the light deepening in his dark pupils. After breakfast, Chu Yihan went to work, and Su Ge lay on the recliner by the Lotus Pond, not feeling quite at ease. If Chu Yihan had slept with her Medicine Pillow, how come he didn¡¯t have any scent of it on him? She had specially added a fragrance to mask the scent of the medicine... Even if he changed clothes, some of the scent should have lingered on him. But as she got close while applying the medicine, she didn¡¯t catch any scent at all. Don¡¯t tell me, he didn¡¯t even touch her Medicine Pillow? Su Ge sprang up from the chair and went straight inside to find the servant who was specifically tasked with taking care of Chu Yihan¡¯s daily life. She intended to ask if the Medicine Pillow was still by Chu Yihan¡¯s bedside, but as soon as the servant saw her, he knelt down, ¡°Lady, it¡¯s not me... I didn¡¯t do it...¡± ¡°Ah ha? What do you mean?¡± Chapter 62 - 62 62 No Need to Explain ?62: Chapter 62 No Need to Explain 62: Chapter 62 No Need to Explain Storage room, Su Ge looked at the poorly cut medicine pillow, her expression frozen on her face, unresponsive for a long while. ¡°Lady, please let me explain, Fourth Master he...¡± ¡°No need to explain, I don¡¯t want to hear it.¡± Su Ge turned and walked away. After taking a few steps, she suddenly paused and turned her head to look at the servant, ¡°Since Fourth Master does not like it, why are you still keeping these things? Take them out and throw them away, this place is not for trash.¡± ¡°Lady...¡± The servant wanted to say something more, but Su Ge went straight downstairs. Soon, a petite figure curled up on the sofa by the Lotus Pond, hugging her knees with red-rimmed eyes. She learned to sew by hand just for the sake of making a medicine pillow, pricking her hands full of bloody holes before mastering it, painstakingly crafting the medicine pillow through an entire evening. Afraid he wouldn¡¯t like the scent of the medicine, she meticulously blended medicinal spices for hours, nearly losing her sense of smell. So her hard work was just heartlessly thrown into that corner? ...If he doesn¡¯t want it, so be it, but why did he have to destroy it like that? Just because she had once put needles in his pillow, does he hate the things she gives him that much? Su Ge raised her hand and wiped her eyes. She knew she was wrong... ¡°Fourth Master.¡± In the evening, Chu Yihan returned home from the office as usual. As soon as he entered the hall, the servant who specifically attended to him hurriedly greeted him. ¡°What is it? Where is the Lady?¡± Chu Yihan glanced around upstairs and downstairs, suddenly feeling that the house was unusually quiet today. Was there a problem? Ling Feng also stared at the servant, curious. Did that woman get into trouble again? ¡°Lady has been at the Lotus Pond all day, she didn¡¯t even eat lunch.¡± Before the servant could finish, Chu Yihan¡¯s shoes had already turned direction, and as the words fell, his cold and handsome figure was already striding towards the Lotus Pond. The entire Chu Family atmosphere became oppressive and heavy. ¡°What happened?¡± Ling Feng looked at the servant, puzzled. Why is that woman fussing with abstaining from eating all of a sudden? The servant¡¯s expression complicatedly changed, then leaned close to Ling Feng and whispered a few words. Ling Feng¡¯s face suddenly changed. He hurriedly headed towards the Lotus Pond. The evening¡¯s glow was exceptionally brilliant, casting a red hue over the Lotus Pond. The girl sat on the edge of the pond, dressed in a light green skirt, her slender legs swaying leisurely in the water. Her eyes were fixed on the lake surface, slowly noticing a shadow reflecting upon it. Her legs that were swaying suddenly stiffened, realizing that the temperature around her had unknowingly dropped. With a flicker in her eyes, Su Ge took a deep breath, turned around, and gave the person behind her a sweet smile, ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± Spotting the forced smile on the girl¡¯s face, a dark gleam flashed through Chu Yihan¡¯s pitch-black eyes. Su Ge stood up from the edge of the pond, patted her buttocks, and smiled at him again, ¡°Were you waiting for me to have dinner? Let¡¯s go.¡± Su Ge walked several steps, then looked back and found Chu Yihan still standing in the same spot. Her expression slightly stiffened, and she walked back to him, scrutinizing his indifferent face, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s cold eyes suddenly lifted, meeting Su Ge¡¯s gaze head-on. Su Ge inexplicably shivered, a chill running down her spine. Such a grim expression, he only showed it when he was extremely angry. What did she do to upset him? Chu Yihan stared at her, took a faint step forward, and Su Ge instinctively wanted to step back, but didn¡¯t dare to move her feet, just slightly leaning her body backward. Chapter 63 - 63 63 Who Are You Sad For ?63: Chapter 63 Who Are You Sad For? 63: Chapter 63 Who Are You Sad For? Chu Yihan¡¯s gaze grew increasingly ominous and frightening as he slowly raised his hand¡ª Su Ge¡¯s eyes instantly widened, and the next second she tightly closed them. The expected slap did not strike. Instead, a warm palm gently landed on her cheek, tenderly caressing her face. Su Ge felt a chill in her heart from his touch. Trembling, she opened her eyes. Sure enough, the grimness hadn¡¯t faded from his face. In fact, it became even darker and more fearsome the moment she opened her eyes. His fingertips inched upwards, slowly reaching for her eyelids, and a voice devoid of warmth echoed above Su Ge¡¯s head, ¡°Who are you mourning for?¡± ?? Su Ge was bewildered for a moment before she suddenly remembered that she had been silently shedding tears all day, and her eyes must be red and swollen. So, did he misunderstand? Because she saw Wen Lixuan last night, and today she was crying and not eating, did he think she was mourning for Wen Lixuan? Just as Su Ge was about to explain, Chu Yihan had already withdrawn his hand. His thinly carved lips curved into a faint arc, and in his narrow phoenix eyes, there was nothing but a cold sneer. Just as Su Ge was about to speak, his expression turned indifferent again, and then he turned and left without looking back. Su Ge stayed with her mouth slightly open, in the pose of beginning to speak. The evening breeze skimmed over the lake, lightly spreading the scent of lotus flowers throughout the entire Chu Family estate. Su Ge dully closed her mouth, and two clear teardrops slid down her cheeks. She blinked her eyes and then turned to face the Lotus Pond, tilting her head up high. Su Ge, do not cry. You have lived twice; don¡¯t be so weak that you cry over every grievance. ¡°Gurgle.¡± An untimely sound emerged. Su Ge¡¯s expression changed, and then she clutched her stomach tightly. So hungry, having not eaten all day. What to do? With him in such a rage, would there still be food? No matter, let¡¯s check. Su Ge wiped away the tears on her face and then turned to leave the Lotus Pond. ¡°Assistant Ling, what are you doing here?¡± Just as she passed through the glass doors of the Lotus Pond, Su Ge saw Assistant Ling quietly waiting behind the door, which startled her enough to pat her chest. Assistant Ling glanced at her, then bent at a right angle without a word, ¡°You can hit or scold me, just let it all out. Take your anger out on me, not the Fourth Master.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± It took Su Ge two seconds to understand Assistant Ling¡¯s meaning, and then she waved her hand, ¡°It¡¯s just a Medicine Pillow, I can make ten in one night, it¡¯s not that important.¡± Having said that, she went straight towards the hall. Starving, starving, even if she gets angry again, she can¡¯t take it out on her stomach. The body is the capital of the revolution. Everything else is just passing clouds. ¡°Lady...¡± Assistant Ling actually followed her. In Su Ge¡¯s memory, Assistant Ling was someone who would stay away from her as much as possible. To put it plainly, Assistant Ling has always preferred to be out of sight, out of mind regarding her. Such an initiative to approach seemed quite abnormal. Su Ge paused in her tracks and looked at Ling Feng with a hint of displeasure. She was in a rush to eat, doesn¡¯t he have anything better to do? ¡°Are you really not angry?¡± After all, it was Assistant Ling himself who had impulsively shredded the Medicine Pillow; recalling it now made him feel a little rash. Although this woman had a past record, she was still a person left behind by the Fourth Master. It would be better for the Fourth Master to throw the Medicine Pillow away than for him to do so. ¡°Not angry, do I seem like someone petty?¡± Besides, what good does it do to be angry with Chu Yihan? In the end, she was the one left upset. To think that Chu Yihan misunderstood that she was heartbroken over Wen Lixuan for the whole day. Ah, how suffocating. As if Wen Lixuan was worth her heartache and sorrow? Chapter 64 - 64 64 Yihan, are you alright ?64: Chapter 64 Yihan, are you alright? 64: Chapter 64 Yihan, are you alright? Watching Su Ge walk towards the hall as if nothing had happened, Ling Feng froze in place, his gaze a bit astonished. Could it be this woman isn¡¯t that petty? Wasn¡¯t she the one who, once disagreeing, turned the Chu Family into a complete chaos? But thinking about it, the Chu Family seemed to have quieted down for a while... This woman... Ling Feng¡¯s eyes slightly squinted as a deep meaning flashed through them. Su Ge headed straight for the dining room. At the dinner table, Chu Yihan sat there with a cold demeanor. Su Ge subconsciously slowed her pace, but the scent of the food cooked by the Chu Family¡¯s chef was wafting through the air, making her stomach grumble. Su Ge looked at Chu Yihan with an ugly expression, hoping he didn¡¯t hear. Feeling a bit timid inside, she didn¡¯t stop her footsteps and soon sat down opposite Chu Yihan. The table was full of her favorite dishes. It was just that the person opposite had such a somber face, Su Ge didn¡¯t dare to reach for the chopsticks. Who knew that although the man¡¯s face was cold to the extreme, after she sneakily stole a glance, he silently picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Su Ge let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly started her meal too. After the meal, Su Ge felt as if her whole being had been elevated. No wonder ancient people often said food is the heaven for the people; it¡¯s all for a bite of food. Isn¡¯t life all about finding sustenance? ¡°Cough... cough cough...¡± The man sitting opposite her, who had been keeping a cold face, suddenly coughed twice. Su Ge looked up and saw Chu Yihan covering his mouth with one hand, his cold eyes scanning his palm, and frowning tightly. Su Ge suddenly remembered something, her face paled, and she quickly ran over to take his hand, ¡°Yihan, are you alright?¡± ¡°Get lost.¡± Chu Yihan clenched his fist, and with a light swing of his arm, Su Ge was sent tumbling onto the ground. At this moment, Ling Feng came running over, ¡°Fourth Master, should we call Doctor Wei?¡± Chu Yihan didn¡¯t say a word, his deep eyes coldly swept over Su Ge on the ground, swallowed twice, and walked away with large strides. Ling Feng followed closely behind him, and the entire dining room suddenly became deathly silent. Su Ge sat on the cold floor, stunned for a long time. The servants all watched her from afar, not one daring to come closer. After a long while, Su Ge lifted her head, her fingers frantically wiping her face. Her fingertips were wet. ¡°Fourth Master, are you sure we shouldn¡¯t call the doctor?¡± The door of the upstairs room slammed shut, Ling Feng was locked out, his voice still echoing in the hallway, but he didn¡¯t get any response for a long time. Chu Yihan stood inside the door, his handsome face gloomy, and the pressure in the room terrifyingly low. After who knows how long, he slowly unclenched his tightly fisted hands, revealing a shocking red in his palm. Su Ge took a long time to recover on the floor before she could barely support herself to stand up. When she fell, she didn¡¯t feel it, but standing up, she realized she had scraped the skin off her elbows and knees. She gently rubbed them, holding her arms, her frail figure limping out of the dining room slowly. Ling Feng was waiting outside the dining room. As soon as he saw Su Ge, he immediately walked up, blocking her path fiercely. ¡°What do you want?¡± Su Ge looked at him, puzzled, her voice lacking strength. Ling Feng glanced at her frail appearance, a chill in his eyes, ¡°Stop playing the victim. If anything happens to Fourth Master, I, will never let you off.¡± Su Ge opened her mouth to say something but ultimately remained silent. Ling Feng left with a cold snort, turning away. Su Ge stood there for a long time, bit her lip, and continued slowly walking forward. Chapter 65 - 65 65 Fourth Master, I have something to tell you ?65: Chapter 65 Fourth Master, I have something to tell you... 65: Chapter 65 Fourth Master, I have something to tell you... Even though he did not get Chu Yihan¡¯s agreement, Ling Feng still asked Doctor Wei to come over. Doctor Wei is a specialist in psychological illnesses. Since Su Ge moved into the Chu Family, he became Chu Yihan¡¯s private doctor. However, within less than a minute after entering the door, Doctor Wei was sent away. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Fourth Master refuses to see a doctor?¡± Ling Feng approached with an anxious face. Doctor Wei shook his head and sighed, picking up his medicine box and leaving. ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s all because of that woman!¡± Ling Feng punched the wall furiously, startling the servants beside him. That woman¡¯s goal in coming to the Chu Family was to hurt Fourth Master to death! He said to take it out on him if there was any issue, but that woman acted magnanimous in front of him and turned around to take her anger out on Fourth Master. ¡°Fourth Master will eventually die at the hands of this woman!¡± Ling Feng, despite advising Chu Yihan countless times to send Su Ge away, claiming that keeping her at home was a curse, every time he tried to persuade Chu Yihan, he would fly into a rage. Now, he no longer dared to advise him, but he couldn¡¯t hold back his anger, turning around and stomping down the stairs. Leaving behind a trail of malice. The sun shone like a song, yet above the entire Chu Family, a shadow loomed paradoxically. The servants, watching the direction Ling Feng had gone, had a flash of struggle in their eyes. An hour later. ¡°Fourth Master, I have something to tell you, it¡¯s... about the Lady.¡± The servant knelt in front of Chu Yihan. Chu Yihan sat indifferently on the chair, his gaze fixed distantly outside the window. After a long while, he coldly shifted his gaze back to the servant. ¡°Speak.¡± After Su Ge returned to her room, she started to search for medicinal ingredients and quickly gathered a bunch. She sat on the floor, painstakingly concocting a prescription based on the nature of each medicine in small amounts. Chu Yihan was suffering from a psychological illness, which was still in the early stages and not too severe. But in a few years, his condition would worsen significantly. Probably in five years, he would always need a doctor accompanying him. Although this disease was mostly caused by her provoking him, as long as she angered him less in the future, it shouldn¡¯t become worse. But as there was no complete cure for such an illness, it remained a hidden danger. She had to figure out a way to properly treat him and hopefully cure his illness altogether. She had always been indifferent towards him and was unaware of how severe his condition had become, but in the last few years, there had been significant physical changes. Once she accidentally saw him undressing; his torso, which was once muscular, was now just skin and bones. Now when Su Ge thought about it, there was a sharp pain in her heart. But when she had witnessed that scene, she was actually happy for a long time. Secretly rejoicing that Chu Yihan was finally going to die. She was truly worse than a beast... Su Ge sighed deeply, now even more focused on preparing the medicine. Suddenly, there was a noise at the door of the room, and then with a creak, it was pushed open. Su Ge did not pay much attention, thinking it was a servant delivering clothes. Without turning her head, she said, ¡°Just put the clothes on the bed and leave.¡± She quite liked the smell of the medicinal herbs filling her room, but some people couldn¡¯t stand the odor. The person who came in did not speak, and their footsteps were light. Su Ge, engrossed in her medicine-making, did not notice anything unusual. Until a cold hand lightly touched her elbow. There she had grazed off a large patch of skin on the dining room floor, and with just such a touch, Su Ge hissed in pain. Then her eyebrows furrowed, and she turned her head to look. It was an injured hand, the wound already scabbed over. Upon hearing her hiss, the hand visibly trembled and pulled back a little distance. Chapter 66 - 66 66 All is Well ?66: Chapter 66 All is Well 66: Chapter 66 All is Well Su Ge was startled and looked up, meeting a pair of deep black eyes directly. Those unwavering eyes stared at her, as if trying to penetrate her own and peer into her heart. Su Ge jumped in fright, reflexively reaching for the medicine on the ground, and in a panic stuffed all the ingredients, including the carefully prepared medicine, into a large box, frantically searching for a place to hide it. However, she had only grabbed a few handfuls of medicine when a man¡¯s large hand firmly grasped her wrist. Su Ge was nearly scared to tears, her eyes reddening as she looked at him, ¡°I...I¡¯m not preparing this medicine for you, I won¡¯t harm you, it¡¯s medicine for myself...you have to believe me...I really didn¡¯t...¡± Before she could finish, the man¡¯s gaze darkened, and he tightened his grip on her wrist, pulling the shivering little woman into his arms. A hand immediately landed on the back of her head, gently stroking it over and over. Su Ge¡¯s trembling body took a long time to calm down as she lay in his embrace with her eyes wide open, filled with panic and fear. She knew Chu Yihan didn¡¯t trust her; she had intended to present this carefully prepared medicine to Doctor Wei for Yihan. She didn¡¯t expect to be caught red-handed while mixing the medicine. He must think she was trying to harm him again... ¡°It¡¯s okay now.¡± Realizing Su Ge¡¯s body was still trembling slightly after some time, Chu Yihan¡¯s hug tightened, his voice husky to the extreme. It was him who had wronged her. She was upset because her efforts had been wasted, not because of that man. She wasn¡¯t putting on an act with him. She was suffering injustice, but enduring it silently. Chu Yihan closed his eyes, feeling an immense sadness. It¡¯s...it¡¯s okay now...? Su Ge¡¯s trembling body slowly settled down, and she softly lifted her tearful eyes to look at him. ...What does that mean? Was he...not angry with her anymore? He had been so furious before, angry to the point of vomiting blood... ¡°Do you still have the cloth Linda gave you?¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s gaze suddenly fell upon her. ¡°Ah?¡± Su Ge was momentarily confused but quickly understood, ¡°Yes, there¡¯s still a lot left.¡± Linda had given her several meters of high-quality silk fabric, which was much more than needed for two Medicine Pillows. Since the fabric was expensive, she had saved it, unwilling to throw away. ¡°Give it to me.¡± Su Ge looked at him blankly. What did he want with these fabrics? Chu Yihan, however, said nothing and took the cloth without explanation before leaving. After Chu Yihan left, Su Ge suddenly remembered the medicine she had carefully prepared. In her panic, she had mixed them up, ruining the whole effort. Luckily, Chu Yihan hadn¡¯t asked her what she was doing with the medicines. Half relieved and half with a headache, Su Ge crouched on the ground, starting to prepare the medicine again. She had to quickly prepare a prescription and get it to Doctor Wei. Although Doctor Wei was an expert in psychological disorders, he had always been too conservative with medicine preparation, which wasn¡¯t very effective for Yihan¡¯s health. That¡¯s why Yihan¡¯s condition had been declining day by day. She had to personally prepare an effective medicine for Chu Yihan. Su Ge tested each ingredient carefully again, but this time she was wise, noting down the prescription after testing each one. Just as the prescription was almost ready, someone knocked on the door again. Su Ge almost reflexively scrambled to shove all the medicine into the box again, and it was only halfway through when she remembered, if it were Chu Yihan, why would he knock? Chapter 67 - 67 67 Its Another Sunshiny Day ?67: Chapter 67 It¡¯s Another Sunshiny Day 67: Chapter 67 It¡¯s Another Sunshiny Day Still knocking so politely¡ª Definitely not Chu Yihan! Miss Su slapped her forehead regretfully, this time it must be the servant delivering clothes. ¡°Come in.¡± Miss Su grabbed all the medicine out again. The door was pushed open, and Miss Su merely shifted her gaze sideways and instantly became stupefied. Seven or eight doctors in white lab coats walked in all at once, standing respectfully in front of her, ¡°Miss Su, we heard you were injured.¡± Injured? Miss Su¡¯s mouth twitched. Was it just the minor injuries on her elbow and knee? Do... Do we really need so many professional doctors for this... huh? The person really was... Not long after the doctors entered Miss Su¡¯s room, Ling Feng hurried upstairs in haste. ¡°What¡¯s going on, has the Fourth Master agreed to see a doctor?¡± Besides Doctor Wei, several other doctors were also called from home. What¡¯s wrong with Fourth Master, isn¡¯t Doctor Wei the expert in psychological disorders? ¡°No... no, the doctors are for the lady.¡± The servant shivered inexplicably upon seeing Ling Feng. His eyes evasively unable to meet Ling Feng¡¯s gaze. ¡°To see that woman? What illness does that woman have?¡± ¡°I... I don¡¯t know.¡± She only followed the orders of the Fourth Master to call all the doctors from home to attend to the lady, but she wasn¡¯t aware of what illness the lady had. ¡°Hmph, I think that woman is probably mentally unwell; she should be checked.¡± Ling Feng dropped those words and turned to leave. Just as he reached the stairs, he saw a servant carrying a delicate box of sewing supplies upstairs. He disdainfully glanced, ¡°What is that woman making now? Have it shown to me first once it¡¯s done.¡± He didn¡¯t wait for the servant to reply and directly rushed downstairs. The servant stood bewildered on the stairway for a while before realizing, ¡°This isn¡¯t for the lady, this is what the Fourth Master wanted.¡± Nevertheless, Ling Feng had already walked away. ¡°Xiao Shuang, you take it to the Fourth Master.¡± ¡°Huh? Uh, okay.¡± Xiao Shuang took the sewing supplies, but her eyes were still watching the direction where Ling Feng left, her brow deeply furrowed. Assistant Ling, you¡¯re on your own now. It was completely dark now, Ling Feng stood in the rose-filled backend garden filled with anger, and a nighttime wind made him shiver. Strange, it¡¯s summer, why is it so cold? Hell! He turned his head, looking at the two servants tending the garden, and lost his temper, ¡°What are you two dazed for? Can¡¯t you see the weather is changing and it¡¯s going to rain? Don¡¯t you go cover those flowers, these are Fourth Master¡¯s favorite things, if anything happens, see how you explain to the Fourth Master! Truly, what does the Chu Family keep you for, utterly useless.¡± Ling Feng scolded and left the backend garden directly. The two servants were dumbfounded. At the same time, they looked up at the sky, where the bright moon was high and stars filled the sky. This weather, going to rain? They exchanged glances, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Assistant Ling?¡± So fiery, is he having his period? As the night wore on, Miss Su prepared her medications and switched off the room¡¯s light. Meanwhile, at the other end of the corridor, the bedroom light stayed on all night. With a swoosh, she opened the curtains, and the early morning sunlight poured in from the window sill, instantly lighting up the room. Miss Su stood by the window in her pajamas, took a deep breath, and her face broke into a sweet smile. It¡¯s another bright sunny day. After washing up and changing clothes, Miss Su had everything ready and opened her door, only to be momentarily stunned. ¡°You... haven¡¯t gone to work?¡± At this hour, how could Chu Yihan possibly be at home? Chapter 68 - 68 68 Fool ?68: Chapter 68 Fool 68: Chapter 68 Fool He was wearing a gray shirt with two buttons undone, looking cold, handsome, and sexy. Hands behind his back, his indifferent face showed no expression. But Su Ge could see some obvious red bloodshot in his eyes. Had he been working late again? His mood couldn¡¯t be bad again, could it... When he left with the fabric last night, he seemed pretty normal. Could it be that he started feeling uneasy again after getting back? ¡°Do you intend to have me stand here forever?¡± Watching Su Ge¡¯s eyes dart around, Chu Yihan spoke with a hoarse and low voice. Su Ge paused, ¡°Ah... Should I invite you in?¡± She paused for a second before sensing something amiss, and quickly shuffled aside, ¡°Please come in, please come in.¡± He was already at the door, did she really need to ask him to come in? But, when did he start standing at the door? ...Had he been standing there for a long time? Chu Yihan didn¡¯t stand on ceremony and strode in. As he entered, his gaze scanned around the room. Su Ge accidentally saw something in his hands, behind his back, that looked like... the fabric she had given him last night. But she didn¡¯t dare to ask more. Until Chu Yihan turned around and asked, ¡°The medicine?¡± ¡°Medicine... Medicine? What medicine?¡± Su Ge blinked hard. So he hadn¡¯t planned on letting her off last night, and was here to settle scores today? ¡°I that... uh, what is this?¡± Just as Su Ge was about to explain, Chu Yihan suddenly brought the item from behind him to the front. Su Ge looked but couldn¡¯t understand. With an emotionless face, Chu Yihan showed the item in his hand, ¡°What kind of medicine did you put inside this?¡± His soft tone was devoid of warmth, as if asking an inconsequential question. However, Su Ge stared at the pillowcase in his hand, exactly like the Medicine Pillow she had made before, and was utterly stunned. Is this... The Medicine Pillow she made for him, wasn¡¯t it ripped to shreds and thrown away like trash? How come... ¡°Teach me how to place it, or you do it yourself, and hand it to me when done.¡± The man¡¯s hoarse voice was utterly cold. Su Ge looked up, her face filled with disbelief. The man¡¯s deep, cold eyes met hers for two seconds before he pulled her into his arms, ¡°Silly girl.¡± ... ¡°What is going on here, even I can¡¯t enter? Do you wish to die?¡± Ling Feng was blocked outside the hall, fuming mad. The servants of this house must have revolted just like that woman, right? He, being the Fourth Master¡¯s Assistant, was supposed to accompany Fourth Master at all times. These people actually kept him from entering the hall and seeing Fourth Master. Rebelled, they¡¯ve all totally rebelled! ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Assistant Ling, we are just following Fourth Master¡¯s orders.¡± The servant¡¯s face showed great difficulty. They knew of course that Assistant Ling was Fourth Master¡¯s favored incumbent, but Fourth Master had ordered last night that neither flies nor the Assistant should be allowed into the hall. They were just following Fourth Master¡¯s orders. Assistant Ling was something they couldn¡¯t afford to offend, but Fourth Master was someone they dared not offend at all. ¡°Fine, fine, each one of you, I have remembered! I am going to call Fourth Master right now.¡± Assistant Ling took out his phone to make a call, when suddenly, footsteps thumped down the stairs. ¡°Lady.¡± A few servants looked at each other and immediately stepped aside. Su Ge walked swiftly and was in front of Ling Feng in a blink of an eye. Ling Feng stared at her in astonishment. This woman, what¡¯s with her expression? Su Ge¡¯s smile was pulled wide, yet chilling cold, ¡°Assistant Ling, is there something you need to explain to me?¡± Chapter 69 - 69 69 Running Naked ?69: Chapter 69: Running Naked 69: Chapter 69: Running Naked Ling Feng: ??? What was he supposed to explain? ¡°Everyone, leave,¡± Su Ge waved her hand at the already trembling servants beside her, and everyone promptly fled from the place. It had been a while since Lady had that expression. They thought the Lady had changed. Who would have expected that what was to come, still came. The Lady was still their Lady. The Chu Family was about to become a disaster scene again... Seeing all the servants escape, Su Ge slowly restrained her smile and indifferently looked at Ling Feng, ¡°You shredded the medicine pillow I made for Chu Yihan into pieces, and you even attempted to make me misunderstand that Chu Yihan disapproved of my gift, deliberately instigating between my master and me. Now, how should I thank you?¡± Ling Feng¡¯s face changed. It was about the medicine pillow. But didn¡¯t she know about the medicine pillow yesterday? Ling Feng looked at Su Ge¡¯s expression, could it be that she only found out today that it was him who shredded the pillow? Then before... Ling Feng suddenly realized. She had no intention of letting him off yesterday, but she actually thought that it was Fourth Master who shredded the pillow. No wonder he found it strange, how could this woman be so magnanimous. So, it was a misunderstanding about the Fourth Master. No wonder she angered the Fourth Master so much that he spat blood! This vicious woman¡ª ¡°I take full responsibility for my actions. Indeed, I was the one who shredded the pillow, what are you going to do about it?¡± Ling Feng furrowed his brows, yet his aura didn¡¯t weaken in the slightest. Anyway, the pillow was already shredded. Whether this woman wanted to hit or scold, he had nothing to say. Taking out her anger on him, maybe she would stop being mad at the Fourth Master. She was willing to bear the venomous hand of this woman for the Fourth Master. ¡°You take full responsibility? Good, very good, Assistant Ling, does that mean you¡¯re willing to do anything I ask you to?¡± Su Ge raised an eyebrow. ¡°Hmph, of course not. I refuse to do anything that¡¯s against morality and conscience,¡± he replied. Even if penalized, he had his own bottom line. He wouldn¡¯t commit evil deeds for this woman. That would be aiding tyranny. ¡°It sounds as if I frequently do things that are against morality and crush conscience...¡± Su Ge elegantly touched her forehead, then said, ¡°What I want you to do won¡¯t harm anyone, nor is it against conscience, and it¡¯s very easy. However, it does require a bit of courage.¡± ¡°Courage? Heh.¡± Ling Feng laughed on the spot, ¡°Serving the Fourth Master for so long, I haven¡¯t climbed knife mountains or descended into seas of fire, but I¡¯ve never hesitated in the face of things far more dangerous than that.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Su Ge slightly smiled, ¡°Remove your clothes, leave on a pair of shorts, and run around the Chu Family three times. Assistant Ling, is that too difficult for you?¡± ¡°What?!¡± When Su Ge went upstairs, Chu Yihan had just finished tucking in the medicine pillow. His noble and cold figure sat at the desk, fiddling with a pillow that completely mismatched his temperament. ¡°What¡¯s all the commotion downstairs?¡± Continuous exclamations and screams kept coming from downstairs, and as soon as Su Ge entered, Chu Yihan casually asked. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing, probably just another snake in the garden.¡± Chu Yihan swept a faint glance at Su Ge. Su Ge suddenly remembered, was the snake that appeared in the Rose Garden earlier released by her? ¡°Uh, have you already stuffed the pillow with medicine?¡± Su Ge hurriedly changed the subject. ¡°Mhm.¡± A completed Medicine Pillow took shape, and Chu Yihan passed it to Su Ge as he saw her approaching. Su Ge subconsciously took it, but once she had it, she didn¡¯t know what to do. However, she had a clear look at the stitching on the pillowcase, and it was similar to a riddle as her own stitching, clearly not the work of a professional tailor. As if possessed, she glanced at Chu Yihan¡¯s hands and unexpectedly found needle marks on his fingers. Chapter 70 - 70 70 With Good Intentions ?70: Chapter 70: With Good Intentions 70: Chapter 70: With Good Intentions This pillowcase couldn¡¯t be... Chu Yihan suddenly stood up. Su Ge¡¯s hand holding the Medicine Pillow immediately tightened. She thought that when Chu Yihan found out Assistant Ling had cut her Medicine Pillow, he merely found a tailor to make a new pillowcase as compensation, but unexpectedly, he had handmade it himself. Chu Yihan sewing? This scene, Su Ge didn¡¯t even dare to think about it. Outside, people probably couldn¡¯t imagine it either¡ªthe renowned Chairman of the S.J Consortium, whose hands control wealth, actually holding a needle and thread? Originally, she thought he would simply have a tailor remake the pillowcase as compensation, which had moved her enough. But to think that he had sewn it himself, Su Ge was so overwhelmed she couldn¡¯t speak. ¡°What are you standing there for? Isn¡¯t it for me?¡± Chu Yihan stared at her for a long time before he couldn¡¯t help but speak. On his noble and handsome face, his phoenix eyes were deep and mysterious. ¡°Huh?¡± Su Ge was still bewildered when Chu Yihan expressionlessly took the Medicine Pillow from her hands, ¡°I accept it.¡± Watching Chu Yihan¡¯s serious face, Su Ge finally fully understood his intentions. He personally sewed the pillowcase, stuffed the herbs, and made a Medicine Pillow for her, just to let her know that he didn¡¯t scorn her Medicine Pillow; instead, he cherished it deeply. He handled her self-made Medicine Pillow back to her and then asked for it back, expressing that her efforts weren¡¯t wasted or mistreated, but rather, they were accepted by him¡ª He was really... so considerate... Su Ge¡¯s nose suddenly tingled, she choked up a bit, ¡°The herbs I used will only benefit your health and not harm it, please... please be assured.¡± She wouldn¡¯t harm him, truly she wouldn¡¯t... ¡°Yes, I trust you.¡± Chu Yihan gently raised his hand and tenderly wiped away the tears on Su Ge¡¯s cheek. Su Ge grabbed his hand, noticing many new needle holes in his already injured hand, she looked at him with heartache and asked, ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Chu Yihan shook his head, his unfathomable eyes, unwaveringly staring at Su Ge. Were these tears really shed for him? ¡°Why do you have to go through all this trouble? If you had just explained clearly to me that you hadn¡¯t seen the Medicine Pillow I gave you, you wouldn¡¯t need to make one yourself, I wouldn¡¯t...¡± Su Ge suddenly caught the look in Chu Yihan¡¯s eyes and dared not continue. She realized that if he had just clarified that it wasn¡¯t him who threw away the Medicine Pillow, she wouldn¡¯t have blamed him at all. Of course, even without any clarifications, she didn¡¯t have the right to blame him, she just felt a little aggrieved. But once he explained, she really wouldn¡¯t feel aggrieved at all. He didn¡¯t need to sacrifice himself like this... That¡¯s the hand that holds a pen, it¡¯s all messed up now. Chu Yihan gently pulled his hand away from Su Ge¡¯s. Su Ge looked at him somewhat startled. Did she say the wrong thing again? Chu Yihan said nothing but stared deeply at her, his handsome face inching closer to hers. Su Ge stiffened, not daring to move. Yet just as Chu Yihan¡¯s face was about to touch hers, his lips about to meet hers, he suddenly turned his head. Chu Yihan clearly paused for a moment. Then he slowly stood up straight, ¡°There¡¯s still an important matter to attend to.¡± He spoke with a meaningful expression. Su Ge, seeing the hidden anger in his eyes, already guessed what he was about to do. He definitely would not let Ling Feng off¡ª Watching Ling Feng, who had run two and a half rounds gasping for breath being called back, Chu Yihan was completely stunned. Su Ge cautiously observed Chu Yihan¡¯s expression, ¡°Um, Yihan, you won¡¯t blame me for punishing Assistant Ling, right?¡± Chapter 71 - 71 71 Yihan, youre the best! ?71: Chapter 71 Yihan, you¡¯re the best! 71: Chapter 71 Yihan, you¡¯re the best! Chu Yihan¡¯s eyes were pitch black and he was unresponsive for a long time. Ling Feng felt extremely wronged; one hand clutching his chest, the other covering his lower body clad only in underwear, he accused, ¡°Fourth Master, I am your assistant. Just because of a small pillow, this woman made me run naked, which isn¡¯t a punishment but a slap in your face, Fourth Master. You must stand up for me!¡± As he spoke of standing up for him, Ling Feng¡¯s lips pouted greatly. Stripped of his proper suit, his body was indeed very pale, resembling a wife who had suffered a great injustice. Chu Yihan, however, remained expressionless. It took a while before he slightly curled his lips, ¡°Is that so?¡± Ling Feng nodded desperately, yes, yes, absolutely. He had already run around the Chu Family estate twice, everyone in the Chu Family had seen him in this state, could the woman¡¯s punishment be a lie? Fourth Master must severely punish this woman and not let her overshadow the Chu Family! Hearing Ling Feng complain in front of Chu Yihan, Su Ge¡¯s face turned blotchy with shades of green and white. He had done something wrong and still had the nerve to complain? A small pillow, did he know that his master had spent an entire night sewing and a morning handling herbs for that small pillow he ruined? If he knew, would he still dare to complain? It really is true: if you don¡¯t court death, you won¡¯t die. He probably didn¡¯t want to stay by Chu Yihan¡¯s side anymore! Indeed, Chu Yihan¡¯s previously expressionless face started to darken bit by bit, his cold eyes like black holes, became extremely stern, ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll decide, you...¡± ¡°Yihan!¡± Su Ge suddenly interrupted Chu Yihan sharply, pointing at Assistant Ling with righteous indignation, ¡°This man, relying on his years of service to you, thinks he can do anything. He took it upon himself to destroy the Medicine Pillow I made for you, wasting my hard work. I was already being kind only punishing him to run three laps, and yet he dares to complain! I think he hasn¡¯t reflected at all, I must punish him to run two more laps to teach him a lesson!¡± After Su Ge finished speaking, Assistant Ling¡¯s face turned completely purple. What, run two more laps? This malicious woman not only wants to humiliate him but also run him to death! Does she even know how big the Chu Family estate is? Assistant Ling hurriedly looked towards Chu Yihan for help. The woman might not know how big the Chu Family estate is, but surely Fourth Master does, considering he personally oversaw its design. Fourth Master definitely wouldn¡¯t indulge this woman, right?? However, just as Ling Feng shifted his gaze towards Chu Yihan, Su Ge had already grabbed Chu Yihan¡¯s hand, beginning to act coquettishly, ¡°Yihan, you say if it¡¯s good or not, is it okay? Assistant Ling went too far, I must make him run five laps.¡± Watching the tender woman beside him, the chills in Chu Yihan¡¯s eyes slowly dissipated, swallowing back the words that reached his throat. He coldly swept a glance at Ling Feng, then with a deep look at Su Ge, he said, ¡°You decide.¡± ¡°Fourth Master...¡± Just as Ling Feng was about to say something, a cold glare from Chu Yihan silenced him. He slowly realized something was wrong. The protection Fourth Master initially mentioned wasn¡¯t for him, but for this woman, wasn¡¯t it? So initially, Fourth Master planned to punish him himself? Ling Feng felt so angry he could spit blood, fiercely glaring at Su Ge. That damn vixen, completely bewitching Fourth Master! ¡°Yihan, you¡¯re the best!¡± Su Ge, ecstatic, tiptoed up and planted a kiss on Chu Yihan¡¯s cheek. Chapter 72 - 72 72 Wangfu Stone ?72: Chapter 72 Wangfu Stone 72: Chapter 72 Wangfu Stone Chu Yihan was stunned for a moment, his gaze met hers, revealing a deep and unpredictable coldness. Assistant Ling made her suffer an injustice, why would she help him instead? She punished Assistant Ling in advance, was it because she was afraid that he would personally punish him... A flicker of light shimmered in his dark pupils. If she hadn¡¯t punished him in advance, Ling Feng¡¯s days in the Chu Family would have been over. How dare he ruin the first gift this woman gave to him. It seemed he really didn¡¯t know anything after being with him for too long¡ª Chu Yihan¡¯s gaze flickered again. Was this woman deliberately reminding him that Assistant Ling has been with him for many years? Seeing Su Ge smiling happily, Chu Yihan didn¡¯t say much, ¡°You watch him run, I¡¯m going upstairs to work.¡± ¡°Fourth Master, Fourth Master...¡± Watching Chu Yihan go upstairs, Ling Feng still wanted to salvage his situation. But Chu Yihan didn¡¯t look back at all, and went straight into the study after reaching upstairs. Xiao Shuang stood at the study door, glanced at the closed door, then looked at Ling Feng downstairs who was unharmed but dressed inappropriately, and sighed with relief. Assistant Ling was really lucky, he committed such a big mistake, and was only punished to run a few laps without clothes. If the average person caused such mistakes, and Fourth Master personally had to rectify it, Fourth Master would definitely have made that person die miserably. After all, Fourth Master is unkind to everyone except his Lady. Downstairs, Su Ge watched Ling Feng, who stared upstairs like Wangfu Stone, and couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth and laughed, ¡°Okay, stop looking. Even if you keep watching, Chu Yihan won¡¯t come down. You¡¯d better just run honestly. After running, you¡¯re still Assistant Ling, and I believe the Chu Family¡¯s servants will continue to respect you as always.¡± After speaking, Su Ge couldn¡¯t help it anymore, removed her hand from her mouth, and burst out laughing, hands on her hips. Ling Feng was really about to explode with rage, but he dared not disobey Chu Yihan¡¯s orders, glaring resentfully at Su Ge, he turned and ran off again. And just as Ling Feng turned around, the smile on Su Ge¡¯s face instantly vanished. She looked upstairs, with the feeling of a narrow escape, patting her chest. That was close, too close. Given Chu Yihan¡¯s unkind nature, Ling Feng, who was so stubborn, would definitely not have been let off lightly for such a big mistake, regardless of the punishment, Ling Feng would surely be driven out of the Chu Family. Although Ling Feng sometimes acted excessively, all in all, it was for Chu Yihan. So even though she knew that the Medicine Pillow was ruined by Ling Feng, she was only frustrated for a moment and didn¡¯t truly get very angry. Naturally, she also didn¡¯t want to see Ling Feng driven out. She punished Ling Feng in advance, so it became inappropriate for Chu Yihan to punish him. And besides, by having her deal with the punishment, Ling Feng would only hate her, not Chu Yihan, Having experienced his past, she knew that Ling Feng was the most loyal person to Chu Yihan. So let him hate her for Chu Yihan¡¯s sake, she wouldn¡¯t mind at all. For she indeed had once wanted to harm Chu Yihan in her past, so in the end, Ling Feng¡¯s hatred towards her was not misplaced at all. If it hadn¡¯t been for experiencing it once, she would ultimately have become the person who caused Chu Yihan¡¯s death... Su Ge closed her eyes, just in time to see Housekeeper Wu entering with a decoration. She immediately called out to him, ¡°Housekeeper Wu, keep an eye on Assistant Ling. Lotus Pond is my place, don¡¯t let him appear within the Lotus Pond area, lest he pollute my lotus flowers.¡± ¡°Yes, Lady, I will keep an eye on him.¡± Housekeeper Wu quickly handed the decoration to a servant. Stepping out the door, he thought, the area of Lotus Pond is so vast, should the area for Assistant Ling¡¯s running be reduced by at least half? Chapter 73 - 73 73 All present! ?73: Chapter 73 All present! 73: Chapter 73 All present! Chu Yihan doesn¡¯t seem to be leaving for the company today. Su Ge carefully went upstairs, collected the medicinal herbs and the prescription she had prepared last night, and then headed straight down to the side residence. ¡°Is Doctor Wei here?¡± In the side residence, two young doctors on duty at the Chu Family were drinking tea and chatting. As soon as they saw Su Ge, they were visibly startled and hurriedly put down their teacups, ¡°Lady, what brings you here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m looking for Doctor Wei, is he out on a visit?¡± Su Ge glanced around upstairs and downstairs and it seemed that there were only these two doctors. These doctors were hired at great expense by Chu Yihan to reside permanently with the Chu Family. This side residence was their domain, though normally Chu Yihan allowed them to go out on visits as long as a few remained at home for immediate availability. What ill luck, Doctor Wei just happened to be out on a visit today? ¡°No, Doctor Wei is upstairs, Lady, I will take you to him,¡± one of the doctors stood and said. Su Ge looked upstairs curiously. Why was it so quiet if there was someone there? The young doctor lead Su Ge straight to the upstairs pharmacy and knocked on the door, ¡°Doctor Wei, the Lady is here.¡± There was no response after waiting for a bit. He knocked hard again, ¡°Doctor Wei, the Lady is here to see you.¡± Finally, there was movement inside the pharmacy, and within a few seconds, the door opened. Doctor Wei, in his forties with panda eyes and bloodshot eyes, appeared sleepy as he peered outside, ¡°What did you say? The Lady is here?¡± He turned his head and saw Su Ge standing next to the doctor, his face turned pale, and he quickly lowered his head, ¡°La... Lady.¡± ¡°It seems that Doctor Wei just fell asleep. Why are you sleeping here in the pharmacy and not going back to your room?¡± ¡°Yeah, Doctor Wei, how long have you been in the pharmacy? What precisely are you doing?¡± The young doctor was also puzzled. ¡°I...¡± Doctor Wei¡¯s old face showed traces of complexity, as if he wanted to say something but didn¡¯t. ¡°If the Lady is here for Doctor Wei, I will go downstairs. I¡¯m going to prepare some scar-removal medicine for you, please pick it up when you leave.¡± The young doctor gave Su Ge a respectful nod, then politely nodded to Doctor Wei as well, and headed downstairs. As soon as the young doctor left, Doctor Wei looked up at Su Ge tremblingly, ¡°Lady, what... What do you need?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk inside.¡± Su Ge glanced at the pharmacy and saw the scattered medicinal herbs all around. Doctor Wei¡¯s gaze shifted and changed, but he eventually stepped aside to let Su Ge in. ¡°Doctor Wei, can you explain what you have been doing?¡± After entering, Su Ge looked around the pharmacy. The place looked as if it had been robbed, with every drawer for storing medicines open and medicinal herbs scattered all over the tables and the floor. ¡°I... I... I was...¡± ¡°Preparing medicine?¡± Seeing Doctor Wei stuttering, unable to speak, Su Ge slightly raised her eyebrows. Doctor Wei looked at her in surprise. ¡°Why are you so guilty about preparing a prescription? Is Fourth Master¡¯s illness truly difficult to treat?¡± Without a second thought, Doctor Wei immediately knelt down, ¡°Lady, I have done my best. Fourth Master¡¯s illness fluctuates; I will quickly prepare a suitable prescription to stabilize Fourth Master¡¯s condition.¡± Su Ge gave him a glance, took out a prescription from her bag, ¡°Take a look at this prescription, does it suit Fourth Master¡¯s condition?¡± ¡°This is...¡± Doctor Wei¡¯s eyes flashed with suspicion, and after taking a closer look at the prescription, his eyes suddenly brightened, trembling with excitement, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right, this is how it should be. I¡¯ve always felt that something was missing in the prescription I¡¯ve prepared for Fourth Master. This prescription is complete, it¡¯s complete!¡± Chapter 74 - 74 74 Better Looking Without Clothes ?74: Chapter 74 Better Looking Without Clothes 74: Chapter 74 Better Looking Without Clothes Doctor Wei excitedly stood up, ¡°Lady, which professor prescribed this herbal formula for Fourth Master? I must sincerely seek his advice. This professor¡¯s use of medicine is truly exquisite, he must be a very respected and senior professor. May I have the fortune to meet him?¡± ¡°Ahem...¡± Su Ge was slightly embarrassed. Compared to the common conservative treatments, she was merely a bit bolder in her prescriptions. Was it really that exaggerated? A respected and senior professor... she was just an ungraduated medical student. However, if Doctor Wei believed that the formula came from such a revered professor, he might feel more reassured about prescribing it to Chu Yihan, right? Later on, if she came up with good formulas, she could also bring them to Doctor Wei, pretending they were from that senior professor. Immediately she said, ¡°Doctor Wei, I know you are also a highly respected professor, but the person who prescribed this formula is a well-known expert in medicine, and it¡¯s not possible to meet him casually; so, you should drop the idea of meeting him.¡± Su Ge swore she had never been so thick-faced in her life. As soon as she finished speaking, her face began to heat up. ¡°I see...¡± Although Doctor Wei felt disappointed, he wasn¡¯t too disillusioned, ¡°Such people are indeed not someone ordinary folks can meet. It seems I still have much to learn in medicine.¡± ¡°Ah, Doctor Wei, you are already very impressive.¡± Su Ge awkwardly consoled. A doctor invited by Chu Yihan to stay regularly at the Chu Family was certainly recognized by the outside world. So humble, what was she, a medical student dropout, to do? Even though her previous teachers had claimed she had a remarkably high talent in medicine, she couldn¡¯t compare with experts like Doctor Wei in terms of experience. Having thought a bit, Su Ge dug out a package of herbal medicine from her handbag, ¡°Doctor Wei, this medicine was personally prepared by that professor, you should keep it. When buying medicines, it¡¯ll serve as a reference, and avoid any mistakes.¡± Some medicinal names are very similar, even identical, and although a seasoned traditional Chinese doctor like Doctor Wei would unlikely make a mistake, it was better safe than sorry. After all, the consequences of using the wrong ingredient could be unimaginable. ¡°This professor is indeed meticulous, I have much to learn, much to learn!¡± Doctor Wei took the medicine, his face full of adoration for the professor. Su Ge¡¯s mouth twitched, and not daring to stay longer, she quickly found an excuse to leave. When heading downstairs, the young doctor had already prepared a scar-removing ointment for her. Honestly, she didn¡¯t need it because the scrapes on her skin weren¡¯t serious, but remembering something, she accepted the ointment anyway. When heading back to the main house, Ling Feng was already dressed and standing outside the main gate. From afar, Su Ge saw him staring at her. As she approached, he raised his chin and his eyes looked towards the sky, displaying an expression of complete disregard and disdain for her. Initially, Su Ge didn¡¯t want to deal with him, but as she entered, she couldn¡¯t resist turning back and remarking, ¡°Assistant Ling, I find you look better without clothes.¡± Ling Feng, who had been looking at the sky, immediately dropped his gaze, his eyes nearly popping out. However, Su Ge only left him with a graceful silhouette as she strode towards the hall. She gradually sensed something amiss¡ªthe atmosphere in the room was chillingly cold. Looking up, Chu Yihan was sitting on the couch, his aura as cold as ever, in stark contrast to the blazing sun outside. An iceberg remains an iceberg; even the fiercest sun cannot melt it. Chapter 75 - 75 75 You just dont trust me, do you! ?75: Chapter 75: You just don¡¯t trust me, do you! 75: Chapter 75: You just don¡¯t trust me, do you! Chu Yihan was reading a magazine when Su Ge walked over with a natural look on her face, ¡°Yihan, why is Assistant Ling still waiting outside? Aren¡¯t you going to let him in?¡± In the morning, she seemed to have heard the servants say that Fourth Master had ordered that neither flies nor assistants be allowed into the hall. He still hasn¡¯t lifted the ban on Assistant Ling? ¡°Mm.¡± A faint voice came from Chu Yihan, who didn¡¯t even look up. Poor Assistant Ling... You¡¯ve been working so diligently for your master for so many years, and yet your master is so cold about your affairs... Inside, Su Ge silently mourned for Assistant Ling, who had no idea when he would be unbanned, for three seconds, then quietly headed toward the stairs. Her foot had just started to make a motion to go upstairs when a chilling gaze shot over from the sofa. Su Ge wobbled and almost stumbled, then steadied herself back on the ground. She turned around sheepishly to look at the man on the sofa who had just closed his magazine, ¡°Is there something else?¡± ¡°Come here.¡± Su Ge scampered over. ¡°What were you doing?¡± Su Ge was suspecting whether the man who was supposed to be working upstairs had suddenly come down to wait for her, and it turned out to be true. She had only gone to the side residence for a moment, and someone had already reported her whereabouts to Chu Yihan. Good thing she was prepared. Without saying another word, Su Ge pulled out a pile of medications from her handbag, ¡°Although the doctors have looked at my injuries and deemed them not serious, I still worry about scarring, so I specifically went to get a lot of scar removal medications. Vanity is a girl¡¯s nature, you should understand, right?¡± Chu Yihan glanced at the medications Su Ge pulled out, his brow slightly furrowed, ¡°Let me see where you¡¯re hurt.¡± What was originally a statement of concern made Su Ge freeze, and her eyes suddenly reddened. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing the little woman in front of him suddenly full of grievances, Chu Yihan was clearly taken aback. ¡°You just don¡¯t trust me, do you!¡± Su Ge raised her hand to wipe her eyes, crying out her accusation, ¡°I only went to the side residence for a little while, and you¡¯re worried that I¡¯m doing something against you again. You¡¯re always guarding against me like I¡¯m a thief. Why did you accept the Medicine Pillow if you¡¯re just pretending? If you don¡¯t trust anything I do, then we might as well go back to how things were before, there¡¯s no need for reconciliation!¡± Su Ge¡¯s words carried a hint of spite. The air in the hall instantly dropped to an icy chill. Chu Yihan sat there with a cold and somber expression, his eyes dark and gloomy, and his gaze filled with coldness. Su Ge shuddered under his look. But still clutching her hands tightly, she mustered up the courage and said, ¡°Since we¡¯ve agreed to reconcile, I won¡¯t make baseless accusations and trouble you for no reason as I did before. The reason I wanted to reconcile with you is to get along well with you. But you¡¯re always suspicious, always guarding, we can¡¯t really be at peace. Don¡¯t you see I¡¯ve changed a lot for you? Why can¡¯t you change your attitude for me?¡± A servant nearby thought: Isn¡¯t Fourth Master¡¯s attitude good enough? Did Fourth Master even say anything? Every time the Lady acts up, doesn¡¯t Fourth Master always indulge her? Just because Fourth Master is a bit colder by nature, she says that Fourth Master has a bad attitude. Fourth Master is really wronged in big letters... Chu Yihan remained silent, Su Ge sniffled and turned to go upstairs. The servants watched as Su Ge suddenly became so willful, holding their breaths, not daring to make a sound. The Lady is indeed starting to make unreasonable demands again... Chapter 76 - 76 76 Grievance! ?76: Chapter 76: Grievance! 76: Chapter 76: Grievance! Su Ge locked herself in her room after going upstairs. Just now, she deliberately threw a tantrum as a pretext for her subsequent request to Chu Yihan about returning to school. Because she knew that Chu Yihan didn¡¯t trust her enough. If she suddenly brought up going back to school, he would definitely not agree. So her act just now was to change his attitude towards her, to believe in her desire for reconciliation, and not to keep her confined to the Chu Family. Everything she did just now was actually an act, but for some reason, she suddenly felt truly aggrieved. Everyone in the Chu Family felt that Chu Yihan was good to her, that he indulged her, spoiled her, that she was ungrateful, always opposing Chu Yihan, being unreasonable and causing trouble without cause. But who has considered her position? Originally, she was forcibly taken back to the Chu Family by Chu Yihan. No matter how outstanding Chu Yihan was, no matter how many people liked him, at least initially, she did not like him. She had someone she liked at first, yet she was taken away by a stranger, forcibly confined to his domain. She was only eighteen years old, just a young lady who had come of age. Could she not be scared, not resist, not try to run away? If in her past life she escalated to the point of causing Chu Yihan¡¯s death, a sin most heinous, could it be said that Chu Yihan had no faults at all? This man is domineering, selfish, with an extreme desire for possession. If she hadn¡¯t experienced her past life and known that he had saved her, that he tolerated her for so many years while still loving her deeply, even to the point of dying for her, would she still have willingly stayed by his side? Even the Emperor¡¯s consorts can dislike the Emperor; Chu Yihan may be adored by thousands of young women, but if she doesn¡¯t like him, how can she be willing to stay by his side? No one considered her standpoint; everyone thought she was a madwoman... Two lines of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, and Su Ge turned over, curling up on the bed. Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open. Su Ge heard the noise, closed her eyes tightly, and covered her head with the duvet even more firmly. Footsteps approached the bed step by step. Before long, Su Ge felt someone sit on the bed, pulling at her duvet. She tugged a few times against them, but eventually could not overpower the person¡¯s strength, and the duvet was slowly lifted from her head. Then a large hand reached over, gently embracing her from behind. The person who came in didn¡¯t speak a word, but that large hand holding her made her feel exceptionally at ease. Chu Yihan was not good with words. Was he, in this way, admitting his wrong? Su Ge¡¯s heart skipped a beat; just now, she had been secretly criticizing him in her mind... After a few minutes, the little woman on the bed suddenly turned over and wrapped her small hands around the man¡¯s waist. The man¡¯s body noticeably stiffened. Chu Yihan looked down at the little woman who had her eyes tightly shut and tears still on her face. His dark pupils deepened. The following days at the Chu Family remained relatively calm. Chu Yihan went to work as usual every day, while Su Ge stopped creating trouble out of nothing as often as before and stayed at the Chu Family peacefully as always. She would go to the study to read or lie by the Lotus Pond, and when bored, she¡¯d pick some flowers in the garden to arrange in a vase herself. Since her last outburst, it seemed as if nothing had changed in the Chu Family, yet it also seemed as though many quiet changes had taken place. The servants in the house seemed to respect her more. After behaving for several days, Su Ge felt it was time to apply to Chu Yihan for her return to school. Chapter 77 - 77 77 Chu Family, Thats My Home ?77: Chapter 77: Chu Family, That¡¯s My Home 77: Chapter 77: Chu Family, That¡¯s My Home At the dining table, Chu Yihan¡¯s face suddenly turned cold. He looked up, staring intensely at Su Ge. His deep eyes were filled with a chilly gloom. That same look again. Despite being scared, Su Ge continued, ¡°I want to live a normal life. The reason I liked to run away before is because your sudden appearance changed the trajectory of my life. I couldn¡¯t accept someone who appeared out of nowhere to control my life, so I resisted you, became unreasonable and made trouble without reason. Ultimately, I just didn¡¯t want to adapt to a life that included you. But now I¡¯ve figured it out. Actually, if I let go of my prejudices against you, you¡¯re a pretty decent person. Therefore, I¡¯m willing to try a life with you, to slowly accept you from the bottom of my heart. I won¡¯t run away anymore, nor will I lose my temper like a madman for no reason. I¡¯ll interact with you like a normal person, go to school on time every day, and then come home on time. And the Chu Family, that will be my home.¡± Finally, as Su Ge said the last sentence that the Chu Family is her home, the coldness in the man¡¯s eyes gradually dissipated. His cold face slowly became expressionless. Seizing the opportunity, Su Ge continued, ¡°You must have investigated me before, I entered Rong City Medical University with the highest score in the province. So, I truly love the medical field, I want to continue my studies and one day become... a useful person to society!¡± Yes, a useful person to society! She knew very well, even if she didn¡¯t go to school and didn¡¯t work for a lifetime, this man could support her, but that wasn¡¯t the life she wanted. She wanted to prove that she too was excellent. Maybe one day, she... could be worthy of him. No longer just a plaything kept at home as everyone outside said, but instead, truly a perfect wife who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Though that day might be very far away, one must still dream, right? What if it comes true? After finishing her speech, Su Ge stared at Chu Yihan unblinkingly, waiting for his response. Although she had laid some groundwork a few days ago, she was aware this man might not fully trust her. After all, she had disappointed him many times before when he had trusted her. That¡¯s why he severely restricted her. So now, does he dare to take the risk? If she is deceiving him, then what has been brewing for two years... his decision would be critically important. Watching the girl¡¯s sparkling eyes, Chu Yihan¡¯s throat moved several times, and finally, he heavily dropped the words, ¡°Tomorrow, I¡¯ll take you to school.¡± Su Ge¡¯s expression first froze on her face, then transformed at visible speed into sheer ecstasy. He really agreed to let her go to school? Two years, it had been two years, and she could finally go to school again! ¡°I, I¡¯ve finished eating! I¡¯m going back to my room now!¡± Su Ge hastily left the dining room. No, too excited, she needed to calm down in her room. Ling Feng watched from a distance as Su Ge ran out, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. Really had no idea what this woman was up to. Humph, as long as it¡¯s none of his business. From now on, he wouldn¡¯t interfere in this woman¡¯s matters. If he did, he would be a fool! ¡°Assistant Ling, Fourth Master is calling for you,¡± a servant suddenly came over to remind. Ling Feng looked at the servant strangely, ¡°What does Fourth Master want?¡± ¡°It seems to be about the Lady.¡± ¡°Lady... Lady...¡± Ling Feng almost choked on his blood. After instructing Ling Feng to handle Su Ge¡¯s school enrollment procedures, Chu Yihan immediately stood up and returned to his study. The light in the study stayed on all night. Chapter 78 - 78 78 Emma, This is a Crime! ?78: Chapter 78 Emma, This is a Crime! 78: Chapter 78 Emma, This is a Crime! Su Ge had cleaned up and come out of her room early the next morning. She was wearing a clean white T-shirt and crisp denim jeans. Her slightly curly hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, her whole demeanor exuding a youthful and lively vibe. ¡°Pfft¡ª¡± Ling Feng was drinking water when he inadvertently looked up and saw Su Ge, causing him to spray the water out. What was this woman thinking, dressing like she¡¯s still in high school? Why dress like that? Su Ge glanced downstairs, noticing Chu Yihan hadn¡¯t come down yet, she waved at Ling Feng with a smile, ¡°Assistant Ling, good morning.¡± Ling Feng quickly wiped his face, replying to Su Ge weirdly, ¡°Morning...¡± Su Ge bounced down the stairs, Ling Feng closely observing her shoes¡ªwhite sneakers. This woman probably really thought she was still a high school student! However, he had to admit, this woman did have the charm to bewitch Fourth Master. Dressing like this, she somehow had an air of pure beauty without the need for adornment? Cough, what was he thinking? When did he start using such fancy words? Seeing Su Ge going to pour water to drink, Ling Feng quickly put down his glass and planned to keep his distance from her. However, just as he turned, he saw someone standing silently on the stairs. ¡°Fourth Master!¡± Upon hearing this voice, Su Ge turned around and stopped pouring water, bouncing towards Chu Yihan, climbing up the stairs in a few strides, ¡°Fourth Master, Fourth Master, do I look good in this?¡± The moment Chu Yihan saw her, he froze on the stairs. As Su Ge ran towards him, his gaze did not stray from her for an instant. He saw the usual skirt-loving woman now in a white T-shirt and jeans, with her hair tied in a ponytail, her head tilted back and her eyes glistening as she stared at him. From his angle, this petite woman looked nothing over eighteen. His throat moved slightly, and Chu Yihan replied unnaturally, ¡°You look good.¡± Having received Chu Yihan¡¯s approval, the smile on Su Ge¡¯s face brightened even more as she turned to go downstairs. However, moving too quickly she stumbled and went tumbling down. Su Ge, frightened, immediately closed her eyes, but instead of hitting the ground hard, she only felt a sudden weight around her waist and found herself suspended in midair. The next second, her body was pulled tightly into an embrace. Probably because Su Ge was acting unusually today, Ling Feng had been extra attentive to her, seeing her being pulled into Chu Yihan¡¯s arms, he instinctively covered his eyes. Emma, Fourth Master, that is a crime! She¡¯s a minor, a minor... What the hell? Since when was that woman a minor? Wait, how old was that woman again? Why couldn¡¯t he remember? Assistant Ling was confused... Su Ge opened her eyes, meeting a pair of dark and profound eyes staring intently at her, his smoking-hot gaze filled with a cool restraint. Su Ge blinked twice, the handsome face in front of her still watching her unhindered. His cold and refined features emitted an abstinent aura, so perfect it made one want to ruin it. Su Ge was still on tiptoe, her fingers reflexively clutching his white shirt, their faces now less than ten centimeters apart. Possessed by some impulsive devil, she leaned forward slightly and her soft lips touched upon his cool lips. She suddenly woke, her eyes wide open. What was she doing? Chapter 79 - 79 79 Free-Ranging ?79: Chapter 79 Free-Ranging 79: Chapter 79 Free-Ranging Just as she was about to retreat, the man¡¯s large hand suddenly held down her head, buried his handsome face, and deepened the kiss. Su Ge was forced to close her eyes, clutching the shirt in her hands tightly, crumpling it into a ball. After the kiss ended, the gloom that had lingered around the man the entire night completely dissipated. Even the bland nutritious breakfast tasted delicious. Halfway through the meal, Assistant Ling brought over the latest American smartphone model and stood behind Su Ge. Su Ge, with a slice of toast in hand, glanced at it and looked puzzledly at Chu Yihan. A phone for her? Didn¡¯t she already have one? Chu Yihan didn¡¯t speak, but cast a casual glance at Ling Feng. Ling Feng explained, ¡°Lady, this phone is the most fashionable model this year and currently the most popular among college students. Fourth Master hopes you can keep up with the trend. Moreover, there are no restrictions on this phone, you can have your own private space.¡± It was clear that the second half of Assistant Ling¡¯s words was the main point. Su Ge choked, struggling to swallow her food, and looked incredulously at Chu Yihan. He¡¯s not monitoring her anymore? Was this...a complete release for her to roam freely? Was he not afraid that she might secretly contact Wen Lixuan... Was it that kiss just now that changed his mind? Su Ge¡¯s face involuntarily flushed. So, was this phone a trade for her favors? No, that¡¯s not right... In such a short time, how could he have prepared the phone? It must have been prepared earlier. So, was he playing a game of cat and mouse? The moment he found out she secretly contacted Wen Lixuan, or if she carelessly revealed intentions to escape or betray him during conversations with friends, he would immediately bring her back here and restrict her again¡ª If that was the case, she had to accept the phone. Su Ge put down the toast, turned around, and took the phone from Assistant Ling¡¯s hand, hugging it joyfully, ¡°Thank you for trusting me, Yihan.¡± Chu Yihan¡¯s expression visibly paused at the word ¡®trust¡¯ and quickly returned to normal. ¡°Mhm.¡± He responded with a light sound, pushing the poured water in front of her. After breakfast, Ling Feng drove, Chu Yihan sat in the back seat, personally escorting Su Ge to school. As the understated yet luxurious black sedan arrived outside the gates of Rongcheng Medical University, every cell in Su Ge¡¯s body buzzed to life. Although she was already excited when Chu Yihan agreed to let her return to school yesterday, the reality of being back at the familiar campus became crystal clear only upon seeing it. She, Su Ge, was back! Just as the car stopped, Su Ge reflexively reached for the door to get out, but the very instant her hand was about to touch the handle, she abruptly paused. Two seconds later, she turned back shyly and timidly eyed the exceptionally handsome man, ¡°Yihan, I¡¯m heading to school now.¡± Ling Feng shivered with disgust. This woman, just get out of the car and it would be over. What was she pretending to be modest for? Did she think Fourth Master couldn¡¯t see through her act, her heart racing like a wild bull? He would bet, the moment the car door opened, this woman would run faster than a mad bull, not giving Fourth Master a second thought. ¡°Mhm, take care of yourself at school.¡± His voice low and alluring, Chu Yihan reached out his porcelain-white hand to tuck a stray lock of hair behind Su Ge¡¯s ear. ¡°I will, I¡¯m off~¡± Su Ge couldn¡¯t wait to pull open the car door and jump out. Ling Feng did not bother giving her another glance, turning his head to Chu Yihan to complain, ¡°Fourth Master, see, she doesn¡¯t seem to have any reluctance to leave you, running faster than a rabbit...¡± Before Ling Feng could finish, he suddenly realized something was amiss. Turning around, he saw Su Ge standing outside his window, smiling and waving at him, ¡°Assistant Ling, I¡¯m heading to school, take good care of my Yihan.¡± Chapter 80 - 80 80 The Mind of a Petty Person ?80: Chapter 80 ¡°The Mind of a Petty Person 80: Chapter 80 ¡°The Mind of a Petty Person Assistant Ling¡¯s mouth twitched without uttering a word for a long time. Su Ge was already running into the school gate with joy. ¡°The mind of a petty person.¡± Chu Yihan uttered four words expressionlessly. Recalling the phrase ¡°My Yihan,¡± the corners of his mouth lifted involuntarily. Assistant Ling: ... What a grievance!!! This woman with her schemes, my favorability in Fourth Master¡¯s eyes has plummeted into the negatives! Originally he wanted to ask Fourth Master if he should have someone keep an eye on this woman, but now¡ª Assistant Ling didn¡¯t dare to speak anymore, silently turning the car around. Walking in Medical University¡¯s campus, looking at the familiar yet strange surroundings, Su Ge felt happy for a while but then experienced an indescribable feeling. The school seemed unchanged, yet everything had changed. When she first came here, she was a freshman, two years have passed, and she was still a freshman. And the freshmen from her year were now third-year upperclassmen. And most of the upperclassmen she used to know had left the school. Everything, the people are no longer the same. First, she went to the academic office to check-in. As Su Ge walked under the rows of lush ancient trees, pondering what classes to take, a dramatic scene suddenly unfolded in front of her. ¡°Don¡¯t leave, tell me clearly, why are you treating me this way? How am I less than this woman? Why are you betraying me to be with her, tell me clearly, tell me...¡± A girl in a dungaree dress, crying, grabbed the hand of a boy approximately 1.7 meters tall, incessantly questioning. The boy was brimming with impatience, forcefully shook off the girl¡¯s hand, ¡°What¡¯s it to you who I date, is it your business?¡± After the boy¡¯s words fell, the girl seemed stunned, pausing before she spoke, ¡°How is it not my business? I¡¯m your girlfriend, you promised to love me for a lifetime, said you¡¯d marry me after graduation... how can you be with this woman? What¡¯s so good about her?¡± The girl in the dungaree pointed to the girl in a pink dress, trembling like a frightened little rabbit behind the boy, her voice filled with despair. ¡°She¡¯s better than you in every way! Girlfriend, is it? Well then, let me tell you now, Zhao Jun and you, Zhu Huahua, are over. My girlfriend is her now, you can leave!¡± After saying this, the boy very dominantly embraced the trembling girl in pink in his arms. The girl buried in his chest, cooed timidly, ¡°Junjun, she¡¯s so fierce, I¡¯m really scared.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯m here, I¡¯ll protect you.¡± Damn, what a scumbag and a mean girl! Disgusting! Su Ge couldn¡¯t watch this for a second longer, she turned to take another path. She had just stepped out when she suddenly halted. Zhu Huahua? Why does that name sound so familiar? Upon taking a careful look, damn, wasn¡¯t the one being bullied by the scumbag and mean girl her old silly, infatuated bestie? Zhu Huahua had been her desk mate since middle school until the end of high school, beside Bai Jingya, she was her closest friend. They separated in their first year of university, and after two years without seeing each other, she couldn¡¯t even recognize her voice. But hadn¡¯t she failed to get into Medical University? How come she¡¯s here? It seemed that wasn¡¯t the point, the point was, her infatuated bestie was being bullied by a scumbag and mean girl! Damn! ¡°Zhu Huahua, you¡¯re not leaving, are you? Well then, I¡¯ll make you lose all hope. Actually, I¡¯ve never liked you, the one I¡¯ve always liked is Feifei, you¡¯re nothing compared to her, you¡ª¡± ¡°Slap!¡± Before Zhao Jun could finish his sentence, a gust of wind swept by, a fierce slap landed on his face, the sound crisp and piercing.
