Shu Yian grudgingly said those damning words through gritted teeth . However, her voice trembled slightly due to the itchy sensation all over her body, so her tone sounded tender and delicate when she spoke.

Su Wen heard that tender tone and felt her heart move.

【I think I’ve suddenly fallen in love with her…..】

【…is that what she thinks I will say?】

【I am a clean and honest woman. Do you think I, Su Wen, would be moved by someone with devious inventions?】

【Don’t even think about it!】

Shu Yian: “……”

I’m afraid this person is a drama queen? This theatrical ability to play out a dialogue by herself and answer her own questions is just too powerful.

Towards Shu Yian’s advances, Su Wen only feels extreme disgust. If it wasn’t for the elderly woman in front of her, she might just push this disgusting woman to the ground. However, she couldn’t disappoint her grinning grandmother and could only gently pull away from Shu Yian.

“These things….we should keep behind closed doors. Intimate things should be done in private, but in front of Grandma we need to be more mindful.”

Shu Yian: “……”

Haha, not only is she a drama queen, she’s also a hypocritical liar. Making it sound like they did this and that on the bed every day.

Sure enough, the old grandmother was tricked by her theatrics and only smiled knowingly as she got up to walk away: “Ai, I am feeling tired from all that talking. I’ll leave the two of you alone, but you youngsters should keep playing.”

Today, when old grandmother Su had seen that only Su Wen had come, she felt worried about these two’s relationship. Although Su Wen said it was because Shu Yian wanted to sleep in today and couldn’t make it, she didn’t know if this was the truth without hearing it personally from the person in question.

But from what she saw just now, these two kids are in a loving relationship. Familiarity breeds fondness after all. Yes, Su Wen was rather reluctant and resistant in the beginning, but now the two of them couldn’t even stand to be apart from each other. Look at them no, they’re stuck together like glue.

“Grandma, sit down for a while longer. I believe Little An wants to talk to you.”

Su Wen understood that her grandmother was just looking for an excuse to create an opportunity for her and Shu Yian to be alone. However, she did not want these opportunities. On the contrary, she was very unwilling to be alone with Shu Yian!

This woman, although she pesters her everyday, she never actually tried to touch her before. Yet, look at what happened today. She actually dared to come over and hug her so boldly!

The old grandmother thought about it and then realized she hadn’t seen Shu Yian for a long time. She immediately sat back down and then held the other’s hand with a smile, “You youngsters have better eyes than me. I can’t even tell who is who anymore. Yet you recognized Su Wen from just her back.”

Shu Yian smiled awkwardly.

She doesn’t know anything about Su Wen at all. She only learned from the housekeeper that she is a very filial granddaughter. And earlier she had only seen a woman sitting next to the elderly grandmother. She was in agony from the itching sensation all over her body and had only hugged the woman as a desperate attempt to get rid of that itchiness.

Before she even hugged the woman, she had thought up an excuse in case she got the wrong person. If she did hug the wrong person, she would just say that she mistook her for another person since all she could see was her back.

“Since you two have such a good relationship, I think it will be better if we get the marriage done and over with as soon as possible.”

As soon as the old woman’s words fell, both Shu Yian and Su Wen shouted in unison: “No!”

Su Wen froze and looked over at Shu Yian in surprise.

【This woman, she refused this time? 】

The Shu Yian she knew clearly wants to marry her and always shouts things like ‘the sooner, the better!’. Yet today…..could this be another trick?

But no matter what Shu Yian is planning, as long as they both agreed on this matter, she is her temporary ally. However, if Shu Yian really is trying to scheme against her somehow….she will not let her succeed!

The old woman frowned and several wrinkles appeared instantly on her aged face, “What’s the matter?”

She starred at Su Wen and then grabbed Shu Yian’s hand to pat it gently, “Don’t be afraid, Little An. If Su Wen, this girl, is bullying you, just tell Grandma. Grandma will get revenge for you.”

It’s normal for Su Wen to refuse. After all, this child is slow and it takes her awhile to get close to anyone. It is easy for her to accept that Su Wen doesn’t want to advance the relationship, but Shu Yian is different.

Shu Yian has always been infatuated with Su Wen, so how come she refused?

Thus, the old woman came to the conclusion that there was something going on behind the scenes.

Shu Yian pursed her lips. Su Wen belongs to the protagonist and she must stay by Su Wen’s side if she wants to fend off the rivals for the protagonist. But she doesn’t want to actually marry the woman!

She couldn’t just say, ‘I’m just here to buy soy sauce!*’ Thus she quickly came up with an idea that will fulfill her mission and help her make money at the same time. (*T/N: ‘I’m just here to buy soy sauce!’ = slang for “it’s none of my business and I’m just a bystander”)

“Actually, Grandma, I want to go work at the company for a while and get familiar with the business. That way, when I get married in the future, I can share Su Wen’s burden in running the company.”

Su Wen glared at her in disdain.

【Heh, I thought this woman had changed, but in the end she still wants to stick to me every day.】

【Will I, Su Wen, a clean and honest woman, let someone like you stick to me?】

【Dream on!】

Shu Yian couldn’t help but glare back at Su Wen. She wished she could write the words, ‘shut up!’ on her face to get the woman to stop thinking ridiculous things.

If she wasn’t able to read minds, she would never have known that Su Wen is such a person. Much like a typical ruthless President, there were no expressions on that blank and cold face, but just why does this woman have so many messy inner thoughts?

Su Wen notices Shu Yian’s gaze and shudders all over.

【This woman is actually sending a flirtatious glance my way? My god, my eyes are blinded by the digustingess of it all! 】

Shu Yian: “……”

Oh my god, I want to cry.

What kind of person thinks like that? Couldn’t this drama queen tell when someone is hating on her? Is she so narcissistic that she thinks other people are trying to seduce her all the time?

But Su Wen could not be blamed for her thoughts. Shu Yian was born with a pair of twinkling eyes. Whenever she looked at others, people would only see a pool of spring water, gentle and tender. Those eyes could pierce even the coldest of hearts.

However, even if Shu Yian is unaware of the power of her eyes, Su Wen is clearly aware of them.

And if she didn’t know about Shu Yian’s true personality, she might even have a good impression of the woman in front of her. But right now….

Only prejudice and suspicion existed between the two of them.

The old women watched as the two children in front of her exchanged ‘loving’ glances and smiled, “If that is so, then Grandma supports you.”

Su Wen felt unhappy, but could not refuse.

Compared to marrying Shu Yian, the better choice was to just agree to Shu Yian’s current decision. Besides, she can’t refuse Shu Yian twice in front of her grandmother, otherwise her grandmother really will become suspicious of her.

The old woman chatted with Shu Yian for a little longer. Although she is only an old woman that has no blood relations to her, Shu Yian couldn’t help but feel somewhat moved.

After all, ever since she arrived in this world, this old grandmother is the first person who has treated her without prejudice.

Furthermore, this old woman acted a lot like her real grandmother. Her grandmother would often hold her hand and talk to her with a smile on her face like this old woman was doing right now.

If her grandmother was still alive today, she should be around the same age as this old woman.

Meanwhile, Su Wen, who sat to the side, and felt that it was strange.

The former Shu Yian would also sit and talk to her grandmother just like this, but Su Wen could clearly tell that Shu Yian was just pretending to make the old woman happy. Also, Shu Yian used these conversations with her grandmother to get the old woman to agree to things that only benefited herself.

For example, when Shu Yian said she wanted to move in with her…..

Or when Shu Yian complained about her indifference and caused her grandmother to scold her. She had to listen to a lecture about treating Shu Yian better that day.

But this time Shu Yian didn’t mention anything about her. All she talked about was grandma’s health and asking her grandmother about how her body was doing. Even when her grandmother left, she purposely reminded the old woman to take care of her health. Shu Yian even said she would come see her grandmother again when she has the opportunity.

Su Wen couldn’t believe it. How could a person’s personality change for no reason?

As soon as the two of them left the residence, Su Wen asked straightforwardly, “Let’s talk. What trick are you playing now?”

When she speaks, she doesn’t even look at Shu Yian. Instead, she furrows her brows and looks forward with indifferent eyes. The disdain in her tone and the lips lifting up into a mocking smile made it clear how she felt about Shu Yian.

Shu Yian looked over at Su Wen and couldn’t help but let out a relieved smile.

Finally, the true temperament of the domineering female president has been revealed.

Good, good, now she can finally be rest assured. Otherwise she would have to constantly worry about whether or not this woman has a split personality.

Meanwhile, the driver in the front, who watched Shu Yian sit down in the passenger seat of Su Wen’s car, gave her a look.

This Miss Shu always made a point to sit in the back with President Su. Why did she sit in the front today?

However, he knew about Shu Yian’s terrible temper, and didn’t dare to ask.

Although Su Wen didn’t look at Shu Yian, she still watched her from the corner of her eye. First she had seen that unexpected smile and now that woman is sitting in the front seat? She felt more puzzled than ever.

【What is this? This woman is taking the initiative to avoid me? Is she purposely ‘playing hard to get’ to attract my attention?】

【Although she did attract my attention for a second, did she think I would care more about her because of this behavior?】

【Heh, the idea isn’t bad, but I’m afraid that’s just wishful thinking! The farther you stay away from me, the happier I will be!】

Shu Yian turned to look at the driver: “Excuse me, do you have a pair of headphones I can use?”

She really can’t stand listening to the thoughts swirling in Su Wen’s mind right now. Although the driver’s thoughts are also also pretty noisy, at least all he’s thinking about is, ‘Concentrate on driving, don’t look at Miss Shu! Those who do not speak are innocent until proven guilty!’

“I’m sorry Miss Shu, I don’t have any here.” The driver answered while looking straight ahead.

【She talked to me. 】

The driver, who has been scolded by Shu Yian many times, felt his heart freeze.

【I don’t have any headphones, so she’s gonna scold me again. Oh no….】

The driver has always been afraid of Shu Yian and felt nervous whenever she spoke to him. He was so nervous that he didn’t even realize that Shu Yian had addressed him with the polite ‘you’ and even used ‘excuse me’ before asking him a question. (T/N: The you she used is the polite form which is the character “您” (nin) instead of the more improper form which is just 你 (ni) . Usually the (nin) is used for addressing elders or when you want to show respect.)

But Su Wen noticed.

【What is this woman trying to do?】

【Forget it. Why should I care about her?】

Although in one moment she wanted to know why Shu Yian suddenly changed, the next moment she was too lazy to bother.

No matter how Shu Yian acted, it had nothing to do with her.

The driver trembled in fear as he waited for the tongue lashing but instead of hearing Shu Yian’s scolding all he heard was: “It’s okay. Drive me to the mall instead.”

The driver coughed. He looked behind him and wanted to ask Su Wen for her opinion. After all, Su Wen is his boss and since Su Wen and Shu Yian are always at odds with each other, he was afraid that she wouldn’t agree. He is only a part-time worker, he can’t afford to offend either of them. He can only hope that Su Wen will reject Shu Yian for him.

“I don’t have time to go shopping with you.” Su Wen said and then took out her tablet, planning to finish some work.

“That’s alright. I want to go by myself. By the way, I forgot to bring my card with me. Lend me some money, I’ll pay you back later.” Shu Yian said with a slightly guilty conscience. She was going to buy some daily clothes and other necessities at the mall. Then along the way she’ll apply for a new bank card and account. As for when this money will be repaid…since Su Wen is not short on money and she won’t borrow much, she should be able to repay the money in a few months.

Su Wen took out a card from her wallet and directly handed it to her, “You don’t have to return it. Let’s make a deal instead.”

Author’s notes:

Su Wen: Let’s make a deal. This card will belong to you, and you will belong to me.

Thank you everyone for your support, mwah!
