Huo Jinyao didnt 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 Yuee 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 dont do this.

What do you mean?

Asking me to come over to spend the holiday. Su Qingsang let out a sigh. Aunty doesnt like seeing me.

I know. Su Yuxin waved his hand. He didnt let that bother him. But you are part of our family. Who doesnt spend the holidays with family?

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

I thank you, but I really think its fine. You see, Im already married, so I wont be spending the holidays alone. So it doesnt matter.

Is he good to you? Su Yuxin hadnt had many opportunities to see Huo Jinyao, and he didnt 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 couldnt help but laugh. Alright, dont worry about me. Hows Xiao Bai?

Its no big deal. Su Yuxin felt a bit awkward when he heard this question. I wanted to try to take care of her, but its the holidays. Shes resting at home now.

Thats good then. The girl was still young and it wouldnt 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 didnt 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 youre not talking about it inside?

Its nothing. Su Yuxin interrupted Su Peizhen. Were 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 didnt know that you had things to chat about with a student like Yuxin?

Su Qingsang disliked Su Peizhens 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 Peizhens 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?
