Chapter 103: What Did She Tell You

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Huo Jinyao didn’t seem to notice. He stayed focused on the chess game.

Su Chenghui knew a thing or two about chess and looked at the game in astonishment.

Grandfather Li was clever and good at chess, but Huo Jinyao was able to unravel each trick without any fear.

The two went back and forth. It looked like Grandfather Li was going to win, but those who really knew chess could see that Huo Jinyao was going to win.

Li Qianxue had just returned from giving instructions for dinner to the maids and Gao Yue’e was a noble lady who knew about music and the books.

Their eyes swept over the chess game and then stared at Huo Jinyao with deeper interest.

Su Peizhen was engaged in the chess game, but she turned her gaze and found that Su Qingsang and Su Yuxin had disappeared.

Su Qingsang and Su Yuxin were standing behind an orange tree in the garden outside.

Su Qingsang stared at her younger brother, who was taller than her, and spoke in a soft voice. “Next time don’t do this.”

“What do you mean?”

“Asking me to come over to spend the holiday.” Su Qingsang let out a sigh. “Aunty doesn’t like seeing me.”

“I know.” Su Yuxin waved his hand. He didn’t let that bother him. “But you are part of our family. Who doesn’t spend the holidays with family?”

Su Qingsang was a bit grateful, but also a bit bitter. Su Yuxin was young and naïve. His ideas on relationships were so simple.

“I thank you, but I really think it’s fine. You see, I’m already married, so I won’t be spending the holidays alone. So it doesn’t matter.”

“Is he good to you?” Su Yuxin hadn’t had many opportunities to see Huo Jinyao, and he didn’t really care before. Now he owed Su Qingsang and had taken an interest in her marriage.

“Pretty good.” Su Qingsang watched Su Yuxin trying to be an adult and couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, don’t worry about me. How’s Xiao Bai?”

“It’s no big deal.” Su Yuxin felt a bit awkward when he heard this question. “I wanted to try to take care of her, but it’s the holidays. She’s resting at home now.”

“That’s good then.” The girl was still young and it wouldn’t have a big effect on her body if she took care of herself. “But you...”

“Yuxin.” The voice made Su Qingsang and Su Yuxin turned their heads at the same time.

He looked guilty and awkward at the same time. He felt guilty talking about Bai Zhihan and he felt awkward because he didn’t want Su Peizhen to hear about her.

Su Peizhen stared at the two of them. It seemed that Luo Meishan had been right.

She walked in front of them, with a small smile at the corner of her mouth.

“Yuxin, what are you guys talking about? You guys are so serious. How come you’re not talking about it inside?”

“It’s nothing.” Su Yuxin interrupted Su Peizhen. “We’re just having a casual chat.”

“Oh? A casual chat? What are you chatting about?” Su Peizhen turned to look at Su Qingsang, her gaze was like a laser beam. “I didn’t know that you had things to chat about with a student like Yuxin?”

Su Qingsang disliked Su Peizhen’s menacing tone and attitude.

“It was nothing. Grandfather is playing chess inside and we were bored of watching, so we came out to walk. We are going in now.”

She finished talking and gave Su Yuxin a look that told him to stop talking. It was better to keep quiet, since talking left room for mistakes to happen.

This look validated Su Peizhen’s assumption, however, and her expression grew ugly.

She waited until Su Qingsang walked through the door and said in a cold voice, “Yuxin, what were you talking about with her right now? What did she tell you?”
