Chapter 268: One After Another They Just Keep Coming.

After a few seconds, Snow has gently and carefully removed his hands from the Emperor grasp while noticing about the way that Su Mei has quietly sneaked away which he has just let her do.

"My Lord, thank you for always saving me."

The Emperor couldn't help but glance at the small hands that have left his grip in which he can only silently lower his hands down before nodding his head at the grateful young woman who has taken a step away to keep a safe distance between them somehow making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Well, I witness something interesting today."

Suddenly, the awkward silence has been abruptly broken by the playful voice of the young man that has been silent the entire time, which is Zong Qi the son of the Prime Minister, which Snow has just ignored since this person has just stood by and didn't make a move to help them from start to finish, although Snow doesn't hate or dislike him for staying still.

Nonetheless, Snow has already decided to leave this person alone, and if it's not related to his mission then whatever happened to the young man later on then Snow will just stay silent and watch in the sideline.

"My Lord, the sky is turning dark already, although I feel sorry but I have to say my farewell for today. Thank you for accepting my dinner invitation My Lord, I can finally show my gratitude for saving my life a few days ago."

Since people will already know about Snow meeting a random man after this event, then it is better to try to save some of his reputations now although he will probably become the talk of gossip around for a few days.

Well, at least, it was better than having some sinister and malicious gossip spreading around since Snow definitely has a proper excuse to use of suddenly inviting the man to dinner since he is his savior.

So disregarding the two young men, especially the Prime Minister son, Snow has softly beckoned Su Yu to his side after seeing the silent nod of the Emperor before watching his lover quickly leave the pace without another word spoken between them.

Maybe his lover is sulking about the sudden distance he is showing? How adorable that Snow somehow likes to tease and bully him for a bit more.

"Come, let us go home."

"Yes, Sister Yao. I'll see you later Brother Hui!"

Snow can only silently watched as an extremely relief Su Yu has given a shy but firm hug to Han Hui before taking Snow hand as soon as he arrives on his side before leaving without another word.

"Eh… I seemed to be hated."

Zong Qi that has been ignored and disregard slowly blinked his eyes before raising his hand to touch his chin while squinting his eyes at the disappearing figures.

"Zong Qi, leave them alone. Don't bother them, they already have enough trouble."

"Hahaha, Han Hui, are you looking out for your sister in law? I comprehend that you have some sort of interest to the young Su Yu before but I didn't think that you are completely taken by her that you are determined to make an enemy out of the Chu Family."

Zong Qi showed an annoying grin to a glaring Han Hui before shaking his head and leaving with a casual wave of his hands.

"I am not that bad, everyone in our inner circle knows how the main wife and daughters of the Su Family is being treated by the head of the Su family. Although that older sister is truly interesting, but she is too much trouble for me to try getting interested especially with that problematic health she got."

Han Hui can only sigh and shake his head, although he knew that Zong Qi isn't really a bad person but he just tends to become indifferent to what doesn't intrigue him before his attention was taken by the friend of his older brother who has tried to speak friendly with him after inwardly feeling enjoyment with his entire situation a moment ago.

He truly doesn't get about why his older brother was a friend with people like this, so without any hesitation, Han Hui just turned around and left the place leaving a frustrated young man who's eyes glinted with maliciousness.

"... Tsk… always acting high and mighty..."

Speaking with a voice full of resentment the young men has also left the place after giving one last pointed look at his friend's younger brother disappearing figure.

"Sister Yao… do you like that person from before?"

Suddenly, Snow who was riding a carriage back home while having his eyes closed the entire time has opened his eyes from the abrupt question of Su Yu who is showing an inquiring expression on his face, causing Snow to smile before flickering the tiny nose of his younger brother that has adorably tried blocking it.

"Silly Yu…you know my situation right? It's completely different from yours, you have known Han Hui for years now so I can believe with the affections you two felt with each other, while I just met that person a few days ago and is only my savior."

"You don't know that! I want Sister Yao to be happy! Please tell me what do I need to do? I'll definitely help you as best as I can!"

Observing how adorable this person is, Snow just gently pulled his younger brother on his arms while truly loving the care and thoughtfulness this person has toward his love one, really, how did the original client didn't change his mind on fighting back rather than being humble when he has a family such as this?

"Don't be sad Little Yu, I just believe that its better if I stay single when I have this heart problem… I don't want the person I can be with to become sad because of my sudden death."

Although as Snow that words is a complete lie but the original Su Yao has already decided to stay single for the rest of his life so at the moment he isn't completely lying to Su Yu.

"Isn't that too sad and lonely? I just want Sister Yao to also become happy."

Feeling the shaking body and wrong voice of Su Yu, Snow just began to soothingly pat the back of his younger brother that continue to worry about his happiness.

"Silly Yu… I am already happy being able to watch our mother and you live a happy life. It is already what I can ask for."

"... but you too deserve to be happy…"

Snow heard the tiredness on Su Yu's voice especially the sleepness within it just smile calmly, well his younger brother has been raised delicately despite being male while he is probably letting go of some of the stress that he definitely has experienced for a long time now.

Although he was too young to be experiencing such a thing, but that is what life is… always unfair no matter what age a person is.

"Alright, take a rest for now and I'll wake you up when we arrived at the Xia residence."

"... um.. you need... to be happy…"

Such stubbornness can only cause Snow to smile with tenderness, at least he has a nice family in this world, and before long his younger brother has finally fallen asleep on his arms.

"Um… don��t worry, I will definitely be happy…"

Snow murmur those words out while sensing the hidden people that have been following their carriage on their way home which has been secretly protecting them causing his lip to spread into a wide smile before taking out an insense on his inventory and letting the sleeping Su Yu rest far more deeply.

Soon, the carriage has arrived at the Xia family gate before Snow has let a very trustworthy subordinate of his grandfather to carry Su Yu to his designated room while refusing to be guided over back to his own room while he deeply staring in a certain direction.

"I appreciated it, however, can you take me to where the uninvited guess is meeting with my grandfather and mother? Su Nianzu has come uninvited in the Xia residence right?"

Snow just calmly met the surprise eyes of the main housekeeper of the Xia Family that has become astonished because of the words he has spoken despite just arriving home, well, it isn't really surprising because there is no way for that man to remain silent and waiting for even a day while his favorite children have been captured and taken in jail which is definitely staying for a few days inside.

After all, not only does Snow trust his lover attitude toward him despite not utterly clingy this time around but he also believes in the Emperor's attitude about his responsibility that would not allow anyone to misuse their power while not being punished for something that they deserve to suffer.

"... Young Miss Yao, then please follow me."

Seeing that the main housekeeper has easily relent at his silent pressure, Snow soon followed the older man into a certain direction and when he was at the door, Snow lip spread into a warm smile after hearing the loud voice of a certain person that can be heard even from outside.

While the atmosphere around Snow becomes a bit oppressing despite not showing any changes on his aura which has caused the housekeeper to lower his head down after a flash of astonishment appearing on his old eyes.

"Let Yao and Yu come with me right now! Su Jie will be able to get out early in the prison as long as they spoke their word of forgiving her wrongdoing!"

"Wrongdoing? That daughter of yours unquestionably wants to harm my children! You can't fool me! There are many people that have seen what happened! Rather than staying in prison for a few days, she deserves to be punished more severely from trying to kill my Su Yao! Su Nianzu! I don't care if you don't have any more affection toward us! BUT I WON'T FORGIVE AND ALLOW ANYONE TO HARM MY CHILDREN!"

Having enough of hearing the nonsense of the rubbish man especially when Snow heard the high pitch scream of her distraught and angry mother has finally entered the room, making the people inside become quiet while looking in his direction.

"Mother, calm down, you don't need to try convincing this person anymore, For people like this who will only think of what they want, will never be able to understand what you are trying to express."

"You... Yao! How can you speak like that to your own father?"

Snow casually bypassed the middle-age man who appeared graceful and elegant outside despite the way he has been acting unreasonably the whole time.

Before gently soothe Xia Yue back while slightly nodding his head at where his grandfather is hiding, probably letting the two of them confront each other while fully watching how his daughter was truly being treated by her husband.

"YAO!"

"Don't you dare shout to my Yao like that! I have enough of you on always treating my children like this! Su Nianzu! From this moment on, I won't forgive anyone who will wrong my children!"

Urging his mother to calm her emotion down, Snow just indifferently and coldly glanced at the red face man with a furious expression that has shown a surprising expression completely turning silent, after all, Su Yao has always been humble and kind, never showing any dark and scary expression so it was reasonable to say how surprised he was even acting.

Well, in someone on his situation, there is no way that he will not change in some way, the original client is just one of those rare people that insist till the end that they began to regret it.

"Let me remind you of something. At the age of five years old, I have already stopped treating you as my father, at the age of seven years old, I no longer see you as a proper person. What I am trying to say is, Su Nianzu, don't you feel ashamed asking to be respected when you of all people couldn't even fulfilled your obligation as a father?"
