To My Dear Mr. Huo

“Nothing, we’re just chatting.” Su Yuxin was only a seventeen-year-old boy. As much as he tried to look as if nothing had happened, Su Peizhen could still sense something wrong.

“Chatting about what? Yuxin, be honest. What secret do you have with Su Qingsang that I can’t know? Why are you so secretive?”

“Who’s being secretive?” Su Yuxin was not happy with her words. “She is our father’s daughter, too, right? We are also sister and brother, so what’s the problem if we talk?”

“Sister and brother?” Su Peizhen looked sour. For an illegitimate daughter like Su Qingsang, she was lucky that our parents brought her up. Who gave her the right to call herself Su Yuxin’s sister?

“Aren’t we?” Su Yuxin did not want to say anymore when he saw his sister’s face. “All right. I got it. I’m going to go inside.”

Su Peizhen had never been treated like this by her brother. She felt very uncomfortable, as if something was stuck in her chest.

She was treated like a princess, loved by her parents and inundated with people’s flattery. Even Su Yuxin was less important than her in their parents’ hearts. This was the first time that Su Yuxin had ever talked to her in such an impatient tone. How could Su Peizhen endure this?

At dinner, Su Qingsang found that Su Peizhen was looking in her direction from time to time, which confused her. When she recalled that she had talked with Su Yuxin in the garden before, she realized that maybe Su Peizhen was suspicious of something.

“Here, sweetheart, eat this.” Huo Jinyao put a piece of fish into Su Qingsang’s bowl. She turned around and saw Huo Jinyao smiling brightly at her, showing his white teeth.

Turning back, she found that all the members of the Su Family were looking at her, which made her increasingly uncomfortable.

“Well, I can feed myself.”

“This beef is good, too.” Huo Jinyao put something else in her bowl. It was like he couldn’t feel the others’ gaze.

“Enough. I can help myself.” Su Qingsang quickly stopped his movements. Can’t you see that this is inappropriate right now?

“I know you can, but I like to do it for you.” Huo Jinyao said this calmly, like he was pleased to pick up food for her.

Su Qingsang felt warm in her heart when she met his gaze. She had not been at ease in the Su Mansion and naturally never dared to share her opinion, or anything else. Over the years, whenever she had dinner with the Su Family, she only ate the food in front of her. No one had noticed it before, but she hadn’t expected Huo Jinyao to notice that after sitting beside her for only a while.

Su Peizhen’s face was a little sour. Qiu Yanbo would have come over as he had in the past, but he had gone on a business trip these days. He was not even in his own house, let alone having a reunion dinner with them.

Now, seeing Huo Jinyao take care of Su Qingsang so tenderly, she could only suspect that it was an intentional display of affection between these two. It increased her vigilance. Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang had not known each other well, so why he was so concerned about her now? Now it seemed that she had really underestimated her “good sister.”

The expression on everyone’s faces, no only Su Pheizen’s changed. Grandfather Li became especially interested in Huo Jinyao.

He had long been in high standing and had had dealings with Huo Mingguang of Rong City. According to the information he had gotten, Huo Jinyao was Huo Mingguan’s son.

Now he was concealing his identity and staying in this small city. He had even married his nominal granddaughter?

What was to this man that he couldn’t figure out?
