“What?” Su Xiu’s eyes widened in disbelief. She stared blankly at He Changming, whose handsome face was mere inches away, her mind an uncomfortable blank. She was frightened by his declaration.

“I said I want to be in a relationship with you.” Although He Changming’s eyes twinkled mischievously, his words were spoken with a serious edge. Su Xiu’s gaping mouth may have made her look silly, but it only heightened her appeal in his eyes.

Su Xiu finally reacted. “No, no, it’s not appropriate. You… don’t joke around.”

“I’m not joking.” He Changming’s expression shuttered, turning serious; even his tone changed. Unconsciously, he seemed to exude an aura that screamed danger.

“I’ll let it go since you’re He Yulan’s brother,” Su Xiu said, fleeing as fast as she could.

When she reached home, she happened to pass by Su Wen. Her older sister caught her and asked, “What’s wrong? Why is your face so red?”

“It’s nothing.” Su Xiu wriggled free from Su Wen’s grasp and hurried into the kitchen to hide.

He Changming followed, hot on her heels. He Changming’s appearance forced Su Wen to attend to him, stealing her opportunity to check on her sister.

“Hello, thank you for inviting me over for dinner today,” He Changming began, quickly offering the things in his hands to Su Wen. “This is a small token of my appreciation. ”

Su Wen was a knowledgeable person. The mushrooms He Changming gifted immediately caught her eye. “Sun-dried mushrooms! What a lovely gift they are,” she exclaimed. Sun-dried mushrooms were very nutritious but hard to come by; they were, by far, the most valuable gift out of the assortment of pheasants and wild rabbits in He Changming’s arms.

Su Wen’s acknowledgment greatly pleased He Changming.

“Please, come in.” Su Wen passed the food to Su Qing and instructed, “I’ll cook stir-fried diced rabbit for tonight’s dinner. Please prepare the ingredients. I’ll cook dinner myself.”

“Okay, Big Sister.” Su Qing nodded, sending He Changming a soft smile. There was plenty of work to do, and she needed to prepare the ingredients for her older sister.

Towards Su Qing, He Changming’s attitude was also very good.

Sixth Sister and Little Sister Su also greeted their guest politely. Su Wen introduced them to each other, and He Changming gave them a slingshot that he had made himself. It was good enough to kill birds and wild beasts alike. It would take some time before Little Sister Su and Sixth Sister had the strength to draw the elastic band, but they would get the hang of it in time: practice was key.

He Changming had thought the two young girls would not like it, but to his surprise, Sixth Sister and Little Sister Su liked it very much.

“Thank you, Brother He.”

“Thank you. ”

The sisters smiled and thanked him, their gratitude mirrored in the face of the other. Yet, even they possessed slight differences. One seemed rather eccentric in her thanks, while the other was spirited, almost heroic. It surprised He Changming, and his evaluation of the Su family subtly improved.

Who said that the Su sisters weren’t any good?

Whoever it was had to be blind!

“You’re welcome.”

“Shoo! Go outside and play if you want, but don’t go slinging that around in the house!” Su Wen chased her two younger sisters out of the house and was about to invite He Changming to have a seat when a deep voice sounded from behind her. “Wenwen, leave our guest to me.” Su Wen staggered and nearly gave herself whiplash with how fast she spun around. Wenwen? When did he start calling her Wenwen?

Hadn’t he always called her Su Wen?

She had not even realized when Zhou Hengyang returned. He stood in the courtyard, eyeing He Changming expressionlessly, his gaze sinister and cold.

Su Wen shivered, guilt suffocating her in a hot blanket.

Something was not right! She hadn’t done anything wrong, so why should she feel guilty? Hadn’t she waited for Hengyang to be around before calling a meeting with her new business partner?

Su Wen believed she had already played as meekly as she could, giving her husband due consideration, but was it insufficient in his eyes?

“Okay…” Su Wen reacted quickly, despite the million thoughts coursing through her head. She had no desire to end up on the chopping block. With a sweet smile and dainty steps, she closed the gap between them, playing the role of a perfect wife to her husband, showcasing their close relationship..
