Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xi Wan’s heart went on alert, and she subconsciously asked, “A side quest? Does it have to be carried out? What are the consequences if we don’t do it?”

The system paused for a moment before replying, [ For now, there are no consequences, but the missions issued by the system are all for you to live a better life. If you do them, they will definitely benefit you! ]

Xi Wan heaved a sigh of relief. “Good. As long as there are no consequences.”

If this kept up, the system was going to die of anger. What a disappointing host!

It took a deep breath and tried to calm itself down.

[ Host, you’ve been lambasted by so many people on the internet these past few days. Someone must be pulling tricks behind your back and hiring keyboard warriors to defame you. Here’s my point: since the Su family is so capable, how can they not have someone capable in public relations? And since you are Su Xun’s wife, how can he not know about your movements? I believe that’s why he chose to ignore you even though he knew that you were being slandered. ]

[ It’s a rare chance to be able to talk to the Old Master. He’s your biggest support in this book, so you have to complain about Su Xun to the old man and give yourself some protection. ]

[ According to the books I’ve been reading while working overtime recently, I suggest that you have a child with Su Xun as soon as possible. that way, you can strengthen your relationship with him. ]

“Stop, you can shut up. You’re not reading books about a little dainty wife running away with a baby, are you?”

The system fell silent.

Xi Wan had hit the nail on the head.

When she saw its attitude, she knew that she had guessed correctly.

“Don’t worry about it, I’ll do it.” Xi Wan decided, trying to stop the system from nagging. She felt that if she really followed the system’s instructions step by step, she would probably die even faster.

Uncle Lin led them to the door of the room and went to the first floor to check on the lunch preparations.

At the door of the room, Su Xun stopped in his tracks. Xi Wan looked at him.

Su Xun stared straight at her. I don’t care what tricks you’re trying to play. You better behave yourself in front of Grandpa. If you do anything to make him unhappy, I don’t mind letting you have a taste of my methods.”

Xi Wan smiled gently. “What nonsense are you talking about? Grandfather likes me so much, so of course I’ll be good to him.

As she spoke, she knocked on the door. Soon, the voice of the Old Master, Su Xiu, could be heard from inside. “Come in.”

The door opened, and Xi Wan greeted Su Xiu with a smile. “Grandpa, we’re here to see you. ”

At this time, Su Xiu was sitting on a chair and basking in the sun. When he saw the two of them holding each other’s arms, Su Xiu’s smile deepened. It seemed that the two of them had been getting along well these days.

He wanted to get up and talk to the two of them, but Xi Wan was very observant and went forward to support him. She said with a smile, “Grandpa, I’ll support you.”

The corner of Su Xun’s eyes twitched. Since when did she become so thoughtful?

His smile widened. “Good, good child.”

“Help me sit over there.” Su Xiu pointed at the place where he usually drank tea. His favorite tea leaves were placed on the table, along with a teapot and kettle that had been prepared in advance. However, the original Host was not interested in tea.

Xi Wan helped Su Xiu sit down, and the Old Master began to brew tea. He said, “I know you don’t like tea, so I asked Uncle Lin to get you some fruit juice. It’s sweet and sour—you’ll definitely like it.”

Xi Wan smiled in response. “I like drinking tea very much now. It’s just that I’ve never learned how to drink tea before, so I didn’t really understand it back then.”

Su Xiu’s eyes lit up. “You like to drink tea now? Come, try it and tell me what it’s like.”

Xi Wan took the teacup and took a big gulp. Her eyes lit up. “It’s very refreshing. It has a light fragrance with a hint of sweetness and bitterness, but it’s delicious all the same.”

Su Xun couldn’t help but frown when he saw her gulping down the tea, but Su Xiu laughed heartily. “Right? I think so too. In my opinion, tea must be drunk happily. It’s only when you truly want to drink it that it tastes the best.”

At this moment, Su Xiu was even more satisfied with Xi Wan. The granddaughter-in-law he had chosen was the best.

Su Xiu and Xi Wan were chatting happily when Su Xiu suddenly glared at Su Xun. “Why are you ignoring your wife? She’s been criticized by so many people online recently, but you don’t even know how to teach those hooligans a lesson! You can’t even protect your own wife when she’s being wronged! Won’t you be embarrassed if this gets out?”
