Chapter 105: Public Display of Affection

Grandfather Li furrowed his brows as he thought about Huo Jinyao’s chess skills.

“Wife, drink some soup.”

Huo Jinyao was very comfortable in his own skin, even when he was being stared at and assessed by others.

They didn’t know what he was thinking. He grabbed food for Su Qingsang and filled her bowl with soup.

Su Qingsang felt very awkward, but Huo Jinyao didn’t care how everyone was looking at him. He did what he pleased.

At last, Su Qingsang pretended to not notice or care about everyone else’s gazes.

Su Peizhen was fed up with the two of them and glanced at Su Yuxin. She saw that he looked relieved expression after having seen Huo Jinyao’s actions. She suddenly felt aggravated.

The meal ended without the situation changing.

They were supposed to admire the moon together after the meal, but the weather wasn’t too great. Although it wasn’t raining, it was very cloudy. They couldn’t even see a shadow of the moon.

Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao got up together to bid farewell and Grandfather Li told Huo Jinyao to follow him into the bookroom.

Su Yuxin had gone back to his own room and Su Peizhen had hooked arms with Li Qianxue to express she wanted to go out and admire the moon with her.

“Admire what? There’s no moon.”

“I think I saw it come out. Mother, come.”

Su Peizhen didn’t care and pulled Li Qianxue outside. They sat down on the swings.

It was very quiet now. The maids backed down after they had delivered snacks and tea. Su Peizhen informed her mother of what she had found out.

“Really?” Li Qianxue scrunched her eyebrows. She was more than forty years old, but her face made her look like she was in her early thirties. A fierce look flashed across her face. “Are you sure?”

“Of course I’m sure.” Su Peizhen thought of Su Yuxin’s behavior and became angry at once. “Younger brother has always been obedient and never paid any attention to Su Qingsang. How come the two came together after she got married? It is too suspicious.

“Mother.” Su Peizhen held Li Qianxue’s arm. “We raised her for twenty years, and originally thought that she was simple. Who knew she had a wild side?”

What a troublemaker.

“Don’t bother with this for now.” Li Qianxue thought about the news she had just received. “Nothing had happened when she was under my eye. There’s no reason I can’t handle her now.”

“Mother, of course, I believe you. But about Su Yuxin…”

“Child’s play. What do they know?” A cold expression flashed across Li Qianxue’s eyes. “After his exams, we’ll have him go study overseas, no matter what schools he gets into. As for Su Qingsang…”

Li Qianxue hadn’t attacked Su Qingsang before because she felt that it was unnecessary and too low. She definitely wouldn’t go easy on her if Su Qingsang forgot her place and offended her.

“Alright.” Li Qianxue patted Su Peizhen’s hands. “These things are not for you to worry about. You are about to get engaged to Yanbo and your father and I are keeping an eye on the company. Focus on your relationship with Yanbo in the meantime.”

“Mother, don’t worry. Yanbo isn’t like those outsiders.”

“Mhm.”

Li Qianxue went back to her room and Su Chenghui had gone back to the room after having finished talked with Grandfather Li. He saw Li Qianxue enter the room and acted as if he didn’t see her. He grabbed his pajamas and went into the washroom.

“Su Chenghui, stop right there.” Li Qianxue stood in front of him, determined. “What did father talk to you about?”
