Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Malicious Intentions

Su Qingnuan turned her head, and not far from the street, a familiar car was parked.

"Junior, I have to leave now."

"Alright, see you later, Senior!"

Su Qingnuan waved her hand and jogged toward the car.

She opened the rear door and her gaze met a pair of cold, indifferent eyes, causing Su Qingnuan to freeze for a moment.

"Mr. Fu..." Su Qingnuan looked at him nervously. "Is something wrong?"

Fu Yihan withdrew his icy gaze and stared straight ahead, expressionless.

"Get in the car."

Su Qingnuan got in without hesitation, not daring to linger.

The car slowly started moving, and Su Qingnuan glanced at Fu Yihan’s expression out of the corner of her eye.

Cold, unapproachable.

Different from his usual demeanor, Fu Yihan seemed even more distant and indifferent at this moment.

Su Qingnuan huddled quietly in a corner, not daring to make any sound.

As the scenery outside became increasingly familiar, Su Qingnuan finally couldn’t hold back and spoke.

"Are we going to the Su family’s house?"

Fu Yihan didn’t respond and closed his eyes.

Noticing this, Su Qingnuan turned her pleading gaze to the driver, A-Qi.

A-Qi noticed Su Qingnuan’s gaze and nodded slightly. "Yes, Young Madam."

"Focus on driving."

The icy tone carried a trace of impatience.

A-Qi fell silent, saying no more.

He’s really angry...

Su Qingnuan wasn’t sure why he was upset, but judging by the situation, it clearly had something to do with her.

Trying to minimize her presence, Su Qingnuan sat quietly.

After a long while, the car stopped in front of the Su family villa.

Su Qingnuan got out of the car and obediently stood by its side, waiting for A-Qi to assist Fu Yihan out.

Seeing Fu Yihan settle into the wheelchair, Su Qingnuan reached out to grip the handles.

"No need for you to push me."

The icy tone carried a hint of disdain, leaving Su Qingnuan stunned.

A-Qi shot Su Qingnuan a meaningful glance before taking her place, pushing Fu Yihan into the house.

After walking a few steps, they both stopped, and Fu Yihan turned his head, frowning slightly.

"What are you standing there for? Does this look like my house?"

"...." Su Qingnuan quickly hurried forward to follow them.

From the moment they entered, the house was decorated with pink balloons, perfectly matching Su Yuerou’s personality.

She had always been this way at home—lively and adorable, the apple of her parents’ eyes.

"Yihan is here?"

A cheerful voice rang out as Jiang Liwen and Su Yuerou made their way to the door. Smiling, Jiang Liwen said, "I was just telling Yuerou to go pick you up, but I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly."

Fu Yihan glanced at her briefly and said in a low voice, "Grandfather told us to come earlier."

He hadn’t planned on showing up here. If it weren’t for Grandfather’s insistence, he might have thrown Su Qingnuan over to them and left himself.

"Come, come, have a seat!"

Although it was her own home, Su Qingnuan felt like an outsider.

She stood there awkwardly, ignored by everyone.

Helpless, she followed Fu Yihan deeper into the house. After a few steps, the two suddenly halted.

Su Xiong was sitting on the sofa, watching them with a wide smile.

"Dad." Su Qingnuan took the initiative and greeted him.

Su Xiong nodded, his gaze falling on Fu Yihan. Smiling, he said, "This must be Yihan? I was away on business earlier and missed the chance to meet you. My apologies."

Fu Yihan gave him a cold glance and replied with a curt "Mm," without any additional response.

This would normally seem fine.

Yet, in front of her father, for some reason, Su Qingnuan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

Faced with Fu Yihan’s rudeness, Su Xiong didn’t address the issue. He merely smiled faintly and turned to Su Qingnuan.

"Yuerou, your brother Lin An will be arriving soon. Go to the door and greet him, okay?"

So Shen Lin’an was coming too?

Hadn’t Su Yuerou said he wasn’t coming?

Su Qingnuan furrowed her brows slightly and whispered, "Dad, maybe it’s more fitting for sister to handle this... After all, the two of them are engaged."

"...."

Su Xiong paused for a moment before smiling slightly. "Your sister is helping your mom right now. You can go; it’s fine."

Really, it’s fine?

Su Qingnuan glanced in the direction Su Yuerou had just headed, her eyebrows tightly knitted.

Su Yuerou’s temper was notorious for flaring up at will, completely disregarding others.

After pondering for a moment, Su Qingnuan decided to head to the kitchen.

Su Yuerou and Jiang Liwen were huddled together, whispering about something.

"Mom." Su Qingnuan feigned politeness as she called out, "Dad said Brother Lin An would be arriving soon and asked sister to go greet him."

Su Yuerou turned and looked at Su Qingnuan with anger in her eyes.

"Didn’t Dad ask you to go?" Su Yuerou snapped.

Su Qingnuan raised her eyebrows. "Yihan is here, so it’s not appropriate for me to go. You should handle it instead."

With that, Su Qingnuan turned and walked out.

"Mom!" Su Yuerou watched her walk away calmly and angrily exclaimed, "Look at how arrogant she’s acting now!"

"Stay calm," Jiang Liwen said softly, pressing Su Yuerou’s hand. "If you lose your temper now, she gets exactly what she wants. So here’s what you should do: don’t react, don’t get angry, don’t engage—just let it go."

"...Really do nothing?" Su Yuerou frowned.

"When Shen Lin’an arrives, stick to the plan. Don’t worry; Mom will help you."

Jiang Liwen looked at Su Yuerou lovingly, stroking the top of her head.

Su Yuerou nodded and leaned onto Jiang Liwen’s shoulder, murmuring, "Mom, Yuerou only has you to rely on."

"How could that be! Silly child." Jiang Liwen patted Su Yuerou’s back and smiled gently. "Your father is on your side too."

"Dad always favors Sister," Su Yuerou pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Jiang Liwen smiled knowingly but said nothing.

A little while later, Su Yuerou emerged from the kitchen and caught sight of Su Qingnuan seated next to Fu Yihan. She glared at her.

Su Qingnuan ignored her, quietly eating fruit.

"Aren’t you going to help?"

Su Qingnuan turned to see Fu Yihan looking at her. Hastily, she replied, "I’m a guest."

"A guest?" Fu Yihan asked with a faint smirk, "A guest after living here for over twenty years?"

"....."

Glancing at her father sitting nearby, Su Qingnuan propped herself up and leaned closer to Fu Yihan.

She rested against his shoulder, whispering softly into his ear, "If I go into the kitchen, I’ll never get out."

The warmth of her breath brushed against his earlobe.

Fu Yihan tilted his head slightly, feeling his ear itch.

Su Qingnuan gave him a hopeful look, her eyes practically saying, "Do you understand now?"

Fu Yihan let out a quiet "Mm" and withdrew his gaze.

"Pour me some water," Fu Yihan said.

Su Qingnuan got up to get him the water.

After he finished drinking, the itch he felt in his ears seemed to dissipate.

Su Yuerou returned with Shen Lin’an trailing behind her.

Shen Lin’an held both a gift and a cake.

"Uncle Su, it’s been a while," Shen Lin’an greeted Su Xiong with a smile.

Su Xiong nodded and smiled slightly, "Lin’an, you’re here! Come, have a seat."

Shen Lin’an placed his items down, sitting beside Su Xiong.

As his eyes swept across, he caught sight of Su Qingnuan sitting next to Fu Yihan, and his expression froze briefly.
