“You’ve only seen us interact once and you’re already so sure?” Xi Wan raised her brows.

When Sun Yao saw Xi Wan’s reaction, her expression softened. “I’m his mother after all so I can still tell.’

Sun Yao and Su Shi were both clear about the reason why this marriage was arranged in the first place.

However, it was precisely because of this that Sun Yao, as his daughter-in-law, was very dissatisfied with Old Master Su’s behavior. She rushed back before her recuperation was over, and she did not have a good impression of Xi Wan, the granddaughter-in-law that Old Master Su had chosen.

But now, it seemed that things were not as she had thought.

Su Xun did not hate this wife that his grandfather had forced him to marry, as she had expected. Instead, he adored his wife very much.

Sun Yao recalled the words her husband had once said to her as she looked at Xi Wan’s beautiful face.

Su Shi had told Sun Yao that after the family banquet, Xi Wan was called to the study on the second floor by Old Master Su for a private conversation. Su Xun, who was talking to Su Shi, was absent-minded and kept looking at the study room upstairs.

At that time, Su Shi had even asked Su Xun if he was worried that the old man would say something bad to Xi Wan. Although Su Xun did not say anything at that time, his expression was filled with worry that was visible to the naked eye.

“This child, Su Xun…” Sun Yao chose her words carefully. “In fact, Su Xun is a very good child. He’s just not very good at expressing himself. He’s used to dealing with everything with silence, so… there are many times when people might think that he is cold.”

Sun Yao looked at Xi Wan with a gentle gaze. “You…”

Sun Yao did not know how to address Xi Wan, so she skipped the topic. “But you can trust me. Su Xun is definitely not that kind of person. He really cares about you and loves you. If he really doesn’t care about you, he won’t show you any warmth, let alone protect you in every possible way.”

“The reason why he’s like this is because…” Sun Yao frowned, feeling a little troubled.

Xi Wan had been listening quietly. At this point, she interrupted Sun Yao, “You don’t have to be in a difficult position. I will listen to whatever Su Xun is willing to tell me.”

“What if I’m not in a difficult position and just want to tell you?” Sun Yao looked up at her and her hesitation disappeared. She looked at Xi Wan with determination.

“I’m sorry but I won’t listen.” Xi Wan rejected without hesitation.

Sun Yao was surprised. Curiosity was something everyone had, but why did Xi Wan reject her? Did she not want to satisfy her own curiosity?

Sun Yao suddenly understood why when she looked at Xi Wan’s bright eyes. Perhaps this was the reason why Su Xun liked Xi Wan.

It was because she could see things clearly and speak frankly without beating around the bush. She knew the world, but she was not bound by it.

Sun Yao smiled. If she was Su Xun, she would also fall in love with Xi Wan.

“Is the agreement true? Are you lying to me?” Sun Yao asked Xi Wan.

Even though she knew that Xi Wan was a good person, Sun Yao still found it hard to believe that Su Xun would fall in love with his wife, whom he was married to by agreement.

If she really had to explain, it would be hard to explain it, so Xi Wan asked,

“Have you heard of love after marriage?”

Sun Yao and her husband, Su Shi, looked at each other. They could not believe that Xi Wan would give such a serious explanation.

Wu Xing, who had been forgotten by Xi Wan in the pavilion, did not want to continue gossiping with this group of ladies anymore so she left the pavilion and prepared to look for Xi Wan.

After leaving the pavilion and asking the staff, Wu Xing walked towards the tea room next to the waterfall. However, when she arrived at the tea room, she only saw the staff packing up.

“Are you looking for Mrs. Su? Mrs. Su left from here just now. She seemed to have said that she wanted to experience the other activities.”

“Do you know which activity it is?” Wu Xing asked hurriedly.

The staff member carefully recalled. “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear Madam mention which activity. You can look for it yourself.”

Wu Xing thanked her and called Xi Wan. Xi Wan did not answer the call, so Wu Xing could only look for her one activity at a time.

It had to be said that there were really many activities in this villa. It was almost dusk. Wu Xing felt that her legs were about to break from running, but she still could not find Xi Wan.

“Xi Wan, where did you go?!” Wu Xing was on the verge of an emotional breakdown..
