"Let’s wait and see if the news of the disengagement comes from the capital city. Actions speak louder than words." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Young Lady, you should also warn your son-in-law to be wary of the Xiao couple’s hypocrisy."

"Tigers do not eat their offspring." Su Qingyue’s lips curved into a bitter smile, "The Xiao couple’s hypocrisy is aimed at me, but their affection for Xiao Yuchuan is genuine. Besides, since childhood, third brother has not received the love of his foster parents, and I can tell that he still longs for his parents’ care. Human emotions are complex, and love alone isn’t enough—familial affection is also indispensable. Third brother has already said he will definitely stand by my side. Why shouldn’t I allow him to enjoy some concern from his Father and Mother?"

"Young Lady, your feelings for the son-in-law are truly deep..."

"When love is deep, there is no room for reproach." The speaker was Chang Haotian, who stood in the open doorway of the side room, watching Su Qingyue, who sat silently reading a book. There was a touch of fascination in his eyes, "The way you are for him, in the end, you’re the one who will get hurt."

"Master Chang." Yinzhu gave him a slight bow, as a greeting.

"Qing’er, may I have a chat with you?" There was a hint of anticipation in his voice.

"I have nothing to discuss with the Estate Owner." Su Qingyue’s expression was cold.

"Let’s talk about what I felt since I, a VIP, moved into your Mansion. As the owner, you should at least listen to your customer’s experience."

"Make it short."

"I want to make the short talk long." Chang Haotian entered the side room uninvited, "I think it’s great to stay in your Mansion, I’ve gotten much closer to you. At least I don’t have to use Qinggong every day to leap over the fence to see you."

"After forty-five days, you should have had enough, Master Chang." Su Qingyue’s face was as cold as ice.

"So you remember clearly how many days I’ve secretly been spying on you. Qing’er, does that mean you care about me a little?" Chang Haotian’s handsome face showed a flicker of emotion.

She just shook her head lightly.

Chang Haotian laughed, not minding her response, "I said I would wait for the day you are willing to be with me. Qing’er, I’ve received news that the Gongsun Family in the capital city is extremely displeased with the Xiao Clan’s kindness towards you. The Gongsun Family has no intention of calling off the engagement."

"I’m aware of that."

"It’s not just the Xiao couple I’m worried about, I’m afraid the Gongsun Family might harm you."

If the Gongsun Family dared to make a move against her, she would make a trip to the capital city and annihilate the entire Gongsun Family!

Since the Xiao couple were third brother’s biological parents, she had reservations. If the Gongsun Family crossed her, they would not have a good end.

Besides, she had several new poisons she had developed that she hadn’t yet tested on anyone—she wondered if their medicinal effects were really that powerful.

With the idea of annihilating the Gongsun Family in mind, Su Qingyue naturally would not share this with Chang Haotian.

Chang Haotian couldn’t discern anything from her facial expression, only feeling that she seemed calm and fearless.

Considering that the six killers who had been after him possessed high levels of martial arts and couldn’t withstand even a few moves from her, if she was unwilling, no one in the world could harm her, "Qing’er, rest assured, if the Gongsun Family truly wants to harm you, I will be here."

"I appreciate your kindness, Master Chang, but I’ll repeat what I’ve said before: don’t be a meddler."

She gave Yinzhu a glance to convey her meaning, "Yinzhu, see the guest out."

"Master Chang, please leave." Yinzhu gestured for him to exit.

Chang Haotian walked out sheepishly, "I’m saying, Qing’er, why are you so scared of owing me a favor? I still owe you for saving my life."

"I’ve said before, when you helped me establish the name ’Unnamed,’ as long as you don’t harm me and third brother, we are even."

"That name of yours has been outshone by your prospective father-in-law."
