Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Jiaojiao was about to quibble, but Qi Lingyan’s cold expression forced her to consider retreating.

It seemed like this wasn’t the day to cause trouble for Su Xiaonai. She’d have to come back another day.

Still, she took a step forward, unwilling to give up this easily. In response, Qi Lingyan took a step towards her as well, blocking her path.

Su Jiaojiao smiled awkwardly.

“I’ll leave now.”

Qi Lingyan didn’t put his guard down. He watched Su Jiaojiao enter the elevator.

But he wasn’t careful enough. Before Su Jiaojiao left, she took a picture of Qi Lingyan standing at the door.

She posted the photo online as evidence that Su Xiaonai was seducing Qi Lingyan. Su Xiaonai instantly became the target of public gossip.

The next day, Su Xiaonai woke up and switched on her phone to see a screen full of messages from Gu Xunjun.

Clicking them open, her eyes widened in shock.

“What is this!?”

Just then, Gu Xunjun called. Su Xiaonai picked it up.

“What’s with this news?”

Gu Xunjun’s voice had a hint of exasperation. “We couldn’t find the source of it. Yikes.”

Su Xiaonai was thinking. Judging from the photo, it must have been taken yesterday, and Qi Lingyan was indeed here.

Gu Xunjun sighed and said some words of consolation.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already asked people to bring the popularity of the hashtag down.”

Su Xiaonai breathed out and thanked her.

“Thank you so much. I’m so glad I’ve got you.”

Gu Xunjun smiled and teased.

“Just remember you owe me a treat!”

Su Xiaonai replied, “Yep, I’ll remember that.”

Walking out of her bedroom, she saw her children had gotten up early, their eyes glued to the TV.

Su Xiaonai frowned.

Why are these two watching TV this early? She didn’t want them to have to wear glasses later.

Su Xiaonai walked over with a serious expression.

“Have you brushed your teeth? Careful not to become near-sighted watching TV this early in the morning!”

Su Mubai and Su Mubei turned around and replied in unison.

“Mommy, we’ve already washed up.”

Su Xiaonai nodded, looking pleased. She opened her hands, signaling Su Mubai to hand over the remote control.

“Where’s the remote?”

Su Mubai pouted and whined.

“Mommy, let me watch just a little more.”

Su Xiaonai wasn’t going to relent. She knew that if she backed down now, Su Mubai would only push her luck.

“No, just hand it over quickly.”

Su Mubai sighed and had no choice but to hand over the remote control, her expressions listless.

Su Xiaonai couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for her daughter, so she asked.

“What do you want for breakfast today?”

Su Mubai cheered up at the mention of food. Propping her head, she pondered this for a while.

“I want xiaolongbao and some soy milk!”

Su Xiaonai took a mental note and turned to Su Mubei.

“And you?”

Su Mubei didn’t really care, so he just casually echoed his sister’s words.

Su Xiaonai nodded and took out her phone to order. She found a breakfast place on the delivery service app and ordered a few dishes.

Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Su Xiaonai was surprised, not expecting the delivery to arrive this soon.

She hurriedly put on her slippers and opened the door.

The smile on her face collapsed as she stared at the person outside.

“Why are you here?”

Why was Qi Lingyan so hard to get rid of?

Qi Lingyan was not happy with Su Xiaonai’s attitude. He snorted and walked straight to the living room.

“Where’s my Grandmother?”

Su Xiaonai didn’t respond, but Su Mubai answered his question.

“Grandma is in the guest room.”

Not expecting an answer this simple, Qi Lingyan somehow felt a little dumb. He turned his head away in embarrassment.

He looked at Su Xiaonai again.

“Did you see the news this morning?”

It would have been better if he didn’t bring this up. The moment she heard Qi Lingyan mentioning the news, she felt the frustration in her stomach. Angrily she questioned Qi Lingyan.

“Was it you that posted it?”

Qi Lingyan looked down at Su Xiaonai condescendingly, his words cold.

“Why would I do that?”

Qi Lingyan thought for a moment, his gaze lingering on Su Xiaonai.

“Isn’t that what you wanted? To let everyone know you’re trying to seduce me.”

Qi Lingyan sounded so certain that Su Xiaonai would have believed him if she didn’t know the truth.

“Seduce you? Are you crazy?”

Qi Lingyan ignored Su Xiaonai’s exasperation and continued talking.

“And you phoned the media as well?”

Su Xiaonai felt a surge of anger as she turned around and took a few deep breaths, her hand covering her forehead. She felt wronged.

Noticing his mother’s distress, Su Mubei was full of fury. He ran to Qi Lingyan and kicked his calf with all his might.

But he was just a child. Even with his full strength, he couldn’t really hurt an adult.

Qi Lingyan felt a slight pain in his leg and glanced at Su Mubei.

Su Mubei was glaring ferociously at Qi Lingyan with his hands on his waist, looking like he was about to explode.

Su Mubai also pouted in disappointment and looked at Qi Lingyan with a bitter gaze.

She didn’t expect him to wrong her mommy.

Feeling the resentful gaze behind him, Qi Lingyan stiffened and looked towards Su Mubai. Before his eyes could meet hers, Su Mubai looked away.

Qi Lingyan swallowed helplessly and didn’t know what to do.

The old lady was woken up by the noise outside. Walking out of the guest room, she was a little taken aback by the tension in the room.

Su Mubei walked over, stood on his tiptoes and whispered into the old lady’s ear, explaining everything to her.

The old lady turned angry as she listened. Looking at her grandson, she defended Su Xiaonai.

“Xiaonai is not that kind of person. Like the old saying goes, Lingyan, don’t judge a gentleman with your own narrow-mindedness.”

The defense that came from the old lady dissipated Su Xiaonai’s anger a little. She forced herself to calm down and spoke, a remnant of rage still present in her tone.

“Ma’am, if you want to visit us anytime, just let me know. You’re always welcome here.”

Su Xiaonai paused for a moment, then glanced at Qi Lingyan with sarcasm.

“But I don’t think I’d welcome anyone here, especially men who are self-important and arrogant and who never even bother to communicate with others.”

She could very well have spelled out his name. Qi Lingyan froze and was about to retort when he was stopped by the old lady’s eyes.

He could only swallow his anger.

After he sorted out his mood, he said to the old lady.

“Come on, Grandmother. It’s time to go home.”

The old lady knew that she couldn’t stay any longer, so she nodded. Before she left, she walked up to Su Xiaonai.

Taking out her phone, she opened her WeChat account and pulled up the barcode.

Su Xiaonai paused, then she understood.

She added the old lady on WeChat. Looking at the confirmation with satisfaction, the old lady bade farewell to Su Xiaonai’s family.

Then she left with Qi Lingyan..
