Su Xun didn’t know what the crazy woman in front of him was talking about and could only stare at her in silence.

In the car, a dead silence began to spread as the driver slowly reeled up the partition between the driver’s seat and the passenger seats.

“I didn’t expect you to be this kind of driver!” Xi Wan cried at the driver.

Feeling like she had been abandoned, she blinked twice and probed, “Well? Isn’t that so?”

“You should go to the beauty salon more often. The skin on your face seems to have thickened.” After saying that, Su Xun closed his eyes again.

“System, he said I’m thick-skinned!”

[ He’s just telling the truth. ]

Xi Wan glared at the system, then rolled her eyes and turned her head away. She didn’t plan to talk to Su Xun anymore, but this didn’t stop her from harassing the system. “System, didn’t he reincarnate? Why didn’t he show any hatred when he faced me, someone who had betrayed him before?”

The system was silent for a moment. [ Perhaps this is the antagonist’s self-discipline. ]

“…”

Not long after, they arrived at the Su Family’s villa. It was an old house in a remote suburb. It covered a large area, and the surrounding scenery was beautiful and also very safe. When they got out of the car, Xi Wan couldn’t help but feel that even the surrounding air was very fresh.

“Wow, this place is great!” She couldn’t help but open her arms and cheer.

She wasn’t a rich person in her past life, so she didn’t expect such a large manor to be the private property of one person. This kind of plot that she had only ever seen in television dramas was now happening to her in reality. Xi Wan felt that she was already holding back by not jumping and cheering.

The system couldn’t bear to watch her. [ Alright, keep a low profile. The villain is out of the car. He’s staring at you. ]

It was only then did Xi Wan look at Su Xun, who was behind her. She smiled and took the initiative to hold Su Xun’s arm. “Let’s go, hubby~” The last word was said with extra emphasis.

The system felt goosebumps rise all over its body. [ Host, can you not be so disgusting? ]

Xi Wan replied, “And what do you know? The Old Master gave me shares, money, and a villa. He’s my God! He wants me and Su Xun to live a good life, so I’ll fulfill his wish, or I’d feel guilty about taking the money.”

As soon as the two of them held each other’s hands, the old mansion’s butler, Uncle Lin, came over. Seeing the two of them being so friendly, Uncle Lin’s eyes lit up. The last time the Young Master and Young Madam were together, they looked very cold and standoffish towards each other. He didn’t expect that their relationship would improve so much in just a week!

At this moment, Uncle Lin wanted to rush in immediately and tell the good news to the Old Master.

He smiled with his eyes narrowed. “Young Master, Young Madam, you’re back.”

Su Xun nodded. “How’s Grandpa recently? Is he feeling unwell?” he asked.

Uncle Lin laughed. “The Old Master is eating and sleeping well now. He even said that his heart has settled down after seeing you get married. If you’re in a good mood, your body will naturally get better.”

Su Xun nodded again and didn’t reply to Uncle Lin. Uncle Lin was obviously saying that the Old Master was in good health now because he had married Xi Wan.

“I’m going to see Grandpa.” As he spoke, he prepared to go see the Old Master, and Xi Wan naturally followed after him.

Su Xun paused for a moment. “Why don’t you wait in the living room first? ”

Xi Wan’s eyes widened. “Uncle Lin already said that grandpa is in a good mood because you married me. Isn’t it natural for me to go with you to see grandpa. Maybe grandpa will be even happier if we go together. ”

Before Su Xun could say anything, Uncle Lin interrupted, “The Young Madam is right. The Old Master talks about her every day, saying that she is obedient and sensible. He likes her very much.”

Su Xun’s brows furrowed slightly. Obedient? Sensible?

Just a moment ago, he had seen her interacting with her ex. However, Su Xun would not mention this kind of thing to the Old Master. If he did, it would only make him unhappy.

To him, the only benefit of Xi Wan’s existence was to make the Old Master happy. If she did anything to make the Old Master sad, he did not mind teaching her a lesson.

“Let’s go,” he finally said, and immediately brought Xi Wan to visit the Old Master.

Before the two of them reached the Old Master’s room, the system said, [Host, I’m going to issue a last-minute mission now. Please complain to the old man that Su Xun has been ignoring you these past few days! ]
