Chapter 1473: 1473 Misunderstanding 1

The mockery at the corner of his lips deepened, “Third Brother, to speak frankly, even though you are the Xiao Family’s esteemed legitimate son, in terms of demeanor and strategy, you lost to Chang Haotian. Even with a status just as influential, Master Chang far surpasses you.”

“Fourth Brother!” Xiao Yuchuan was truly enraged this time.

“Nothing but the truth. Third Brother, there’s no need to get angry out of embarrassment.”

Looking at Fourth Brother’s indifferent face, Xiao Yuchuan sadly realized that he was gradually becoming distant from this younger brother, who had depended on him since they were young, “I just want to ask you one thing, did you tell Qingyue about my status as the heir of the Xiao Family in advance?”

Just as Xiao Qinghe was about to speak, a cool female voice came from outside the side room, “Yes.”

Xiao Yuchuan looked outside the side room, only to see Su Qingyue standing there expressionlessly, with Chang Haotian following behind her.

With that turn of his head, he missed the astonished look in Xiao Qinghe’s eyes.

Xiao Yuchuan didn’t see it, but Chang Haotian did.

Which meant, Qing’er hadn’t been informed beforehand after all.

“Wife, where have you been?” Xiao Yuchuan’s gaze flitted toward Chang Haotian, “You went out with him?”

“Yes,” Su Qingyue nodded, “I was bored in the Mansion, and Estate Owner Chang happened to invite me out for entertainment. So, I went with him.”

This time it was Chang Haotian’s turn to be surprised. He had only just returned to the Mansion and happened to run into her. How did it turn into going out for fun together?

However, surprised as he was, he didn’t show it. Instead, he deepened the misunderstanding, “Today, I enjoyed shopping and boating with Qing’er, admiring the rivers and mountains together, what a delight!”

“Su Qingyue, knowing that Chang Haotian harbors ulterior motives toward you, you still went out with him!” Xiao Yuchuan was about to explode with anger.

Su Qingyue appeared completely indifferent, “What of it? Estate Owner Chang is a gentleman, he won’t do anything inappropriate.”

Chang Haotian wore a sheepish expression, “Qing’er, you really shouldn’t say that. I’ve married you dozens of times in my dreams.”

“You!” Xiao Yuchuan threw a punch at Chang Haotian, but Su Qingyue didn’t stop him; she just yawned languidly and headed for Qin Garden.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuchuan couldn’t care less about fighting and chased after her, “Wife!”

In Elegant Garden, two pairs of eyes watched the two of them depart.

Chang Haotian said, “Xiao Qinghe, you didn’t tell Su Qingyue about Xiao Yuchuan’s identity in advance, did you.”

“You saw through it.” Xiao Qinghe didn’t deny, “Sadly, my third brother’s heart is blinded by jealousy.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” A cold glint appeared in Chang Haotian’s eyes, “If Qing’er were with Xiao Yuchuan, how would I have a chance?”

“So, you’ll stop at nothing to drive a wedge between them?”

“Stop at nothing is a bit much,” Chang Haotian pondered, “I’ll try my best not to hurt Qing’er.”

Xiao Qinghe stole a glance at the handsome and promising Chang Haotian, and surprisingly he didn’t feel pressured.

Because he understood, Qingyue was not one to scorn poverty and crave wealth; Chang Haotian didn’t have a place in her heart, therefore, he posed no threat.

The real challenge was still the third brother.

His own heart was also struggling.

In countless dreams, he had employed every tactic to ruin his third brother’s happiness.

Every time he woke, he would be overjoyed; he relished the scenarios in his dreams.

Considering the third brother’s care for him since childhood, he held back, watching with open eyes as his third brother and Qingyue were so deeply in love.

His heart shattered into pieces day by day.

He wouldn’t go on like this anymore.
