Chapter 1404: 1404 A smile that hides a knife2 Chapter 1404: 1404 A smile that hides a knife2 Xiao Yuchuan looked at Shen Yun’s retreating figure, “Wife, do you think her concern is real or fake?”

“Towards me, it may not be genuine.

They say that even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, so towards you, it definitely is.” What Su Qingyue said was also the truth.

“As long as she doesn’t harm you, that’s enough.” Xiao Yuchuan adoringly gazed at Qingyue’s stunning face, “Wife, I will make her slowly come to genuinely like you.”

The ancients were stubborn and often single-minded.

Su Qingyue understood that without a noble family background comparable to that of a first-class family, the Xiao Family would never truly like her, and she didn’t want to point this out.

Because, even without a noble family background, she wouldn’t feel inferior.

She also didn’t want to put third brother in a difficult position, “Let’s hope so.”

Shen Yun had been setting the stage for so long; she must be ready to make her next move.

“Wife…” Xiao Yuchuan began to speak but was interrupted by Qingyue, “Is third brother thinking of going back to the capital city?”

“Do you agree?”

She nodded, “Whatever decision you make, I agree with it.”

“Wife, when I go to the capital city and become the legitimate son of a first-class family, you will be the young Mistress of a first-class family, out of reach, no one will be able to bully you, no one will be able to entertain thoughts about you, and no one will be able to snatch you from my hands!” Xiao Yuchuan’s tone was somewhat solemn.

Regarding Jin Xun and Chang Haotian’s attempts to take his wife, he was still frightened.

Jin Xun was one thing, but Chang Haotian’s power was overwhelming, with Pear Blossom Villa being on par with first-class families.

Since his identity as the legitimate son of a first-class family had been revealed, Jin Xun had not dared to harass Su Qingyue again.

He had even received an apology letter sent secretly by Jin Xun’s men.

Power is indeed a wonderful thing!

Without power, how could he compete with Pear Blossom Villa?

Seeing the desire for power in third brother’s eyes, all for her, desires for power begin when one dreams of acquiring it, why bother making excuses?

She was willing to bet that even without her, Su Qingyue, he would still follow the Xiao couple back to the capital city.

“Wife, why don’t you speak?” His eyes showed a hint of urgency, “Don’t you want me to go?”

She truly felt like saying yes.

But she never wanted to be an impediment to her loved one, “It’s not that.

I was just thinking…

your mother’s cooking has improved a lot.”

Or rather, Shen Yun never really couldn’t cook at all.

Based on her observations, except for the first time she encountered Shen Yun in the kitchen when she seemed to accidentally cut herself while clumsily handling a radish.

As someone who often cooked herself, she had developed a sharp eye; Shen Yun obviously cut her hand on purpose and claimed she couldn’t cook, making it seem as if her cooking efforts were all the more precious.

“Indeed.

Lady Xiao’s cakes are getting more and more delicious as well.” Xiao Yuchuan recalled the countless times he had enjoyed his mother’s cakes, which also touched him.

With a light smile on her lips, Su Qingyue didn’t tell him that Shen Yun never actually cooked when Xiao Yuchuan wasn’t around; it was always her personal maid, Shuang’er, who did the cooking.

“Wife, I’ll find an opportunity to speak with Master Xiao and Lady Xiao about our return to the capital together,” Xiao Yuchuan thought for a moment, “It’s not good to bring it up proactively, let’s wait for Master Xiao to mention it.”

She nodded.

He wrapped his arms around her slender waist, “Wife, I will give you everything I have.”

She smiled faintly.

In truth, wealth and splendor were within easy reach for her, Su Qingyue.

Third brother was inherently Heaven’s proud son.

He was meant to be back in the position meant for him.

And she, even if she was willing to stay by his side, the Xiao couple might not allow it.

She didn’t need anyone’s permission, nor was she afraid of anyone separating her from third brother, her only fear wasaEUR|
