Su Qichuan, compared to Su Qishan, his younger brother, might not have been as intelligent as his elder brother.
However, he quickly understood the meaning behind Old Master Su’s words.
This was the unspoken understanding between father and son.
“Father wants to have a private talk with Yu Yan, and specifically asked me and Xing Yang to get Zhou Yu out of the way. It must be something very personal that we’re not supposed to hear.”
Thinking this, Su Qichuan quickly winked at his son.
Su Xing Yang and his father shared a similar tacit understanding.
“Oh, brother-in-law, my grandpa is right. You must have put a lot of effort into treating him. I’ll take you to rest now.”
As Su Xing Yang spoke, he slung his arm over Zhou Yu’s shoulders.
His demeanor was as if he were taking a good friend out to play.
And Zhou Yu did not refuse.
Su Xing Yang was Su Yu Yan’s cousin. By relation, this young man was also his cousin.
Since they were related, there was no need to be too distant.
Arm in arm was a very common gesture among brothers.
“I am indeed a bit hungry. It’s good to go out and have some snacks,” Zhou Yu said with a light smile.
Seeing without saying.
How could he not understand that Old Master Su and Su Yu Yan had something to discuss?
“Brother-in-law, you’re in for a treat this time. My father and I brought a lot of good things when we came. Once you taste the pastries from Jiangnan, you’ll definitely yearn for that place.”
Seeing how agreeable Zhou Yu was, Su Xing Yang started to chatter excitedly.
After the two of them left, Su Qichuan also followed suit.
Soon.
Only the grandfather and granddaughter remained in the room.
“Grandpa, why did you need to send Zhou Yu away to talk to me?” Su Yu Yan asked curiously.
Hearing his granddaughter’s question, Old Master Su sighed and took her hand, placing it in his own.
He said earnestly, “Yu Yan, don’t blame your grandpa for being long-winded, but you and Xiao Yu have been betrothed since childhood, have a marriage contract, and even got your marriage certificate. After so long, why hasn’t your relationship progressed at all?”
“I… he and I… and him…”
Su Yu Yan’s eyes widened, her face flushed, and she began to stammer.
Her grandfather’s words caused her mind to freeze instantly.
She had never expected her grandfather to keep her behind to discuss this matter.
But wasn’t the relationship between a man and a woman supposed to happen naturally, like water flowing into its rightful place?
What else could she do to speed up the progress?
Even if she was willing, she would need Zhou Yu’s cooperation, wouldn’t she?
“You see, the moment I mention Xiao Yu, my good granddaughter blushes and becomes shy. If you didn’t have feelings for him, Grandpa definitely wouldn’t believe it. No matter the reason why you two got the red book at the civil affairs bureau, since you have feelings for him and the title of husband and wife, you need to seize the opportunity!” Old Master Su emphasized.
“Grandpa~~”
Su Yu Yan’s face turned even redder.
If she understood correctly, her grandfather wanted her to be more proactive.
But she was a girl.
Shouldn’t men be the ones to take the initiative in such matters?
Su Yu Yan was still somewhat conservative at heart. She really didn’t know how to proactively improve her relationship with Zhou Yu.
Should she just get drunk and roll around with Zhou Yu?
Sorry.
Su Yu Yan definitely couldn’t do that.
She was just not that kind of woman.
“Hiyo! The more Grandpa talks, the more shy you become. It looks like that fellow has completely captivated you.”
Seeing his granddaughter’s expression, Old Master Su understood completely.
Su Yu Yan had essentially planted the seeds of love for Zhou Yu.
“But it’s no wonder. He is, after all, that person’s disciple. Not only is he tall and handsome, but all his skills are also directly passed down from that person. You marrying him is no loss for you.”
Old Master Su immediately corrected himself, “No, no, no, it should be said that our Su family has gotten a great bargain.”
You marrying him is no loss?
The Su family got a great bargain?
Su Yu Yan was speechless.
Why did she sound so… inadequate in her grandfather’s words…
It was as if she was far inferior to Zhou Yu…
This made Su Yu Yan feel resentful.
Was this still her beloved grandfather?
How could he keep praising others and belittling his own beloved granddaughter in his words?
Although Su Yu Yan had to admit that Zhou Yu was remarkable, stronger than many men, her grandfather’s words made her feel sad.
“Grandpa~~ Is this how you talk about your own granddaughter? It sounds like I’m the one who’s marrying up…”
Su Yu Yan pouted her lips high.
At this moment, only the elder in front of her could allow her to act spoiled.
“Alright, alright, we’re not marrying up to that fellow, it’s that fellow who’s marrying up to our Su family, okay? Look at my precious granddaughter, she’s almost angry with Grandpa.” Old Master Su teased.
It had been a very, very long time since he had had such a conversation with Su Yu Yan.
He remembered the last time was when his granddaughter was in her teens.
“Grandpa, you’re not saying it right either. After getting to know him these past few days, I have a new understanding of Zhou Yu. He has so many secrets about him that I can’t uncover. Moreover, it seems that besides me, he has marriage engagements with six other girls. Do you remember Zhao Ruyue? She is also one of Zhou Yu’s fiancées. She…”
Just as Su Yu Yan said this, she noticed Old Master Su’s brows furrowed tightly.
He looked as if he had encountered a major event.
This made Su Yu Yan stop abruptly, not daring to continue.
“Grandpa? What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”
After a moment, Su Yu Yan asked softly.
Old Master Su snapped back to attention and said anxiously, “Yu Yan, what did you just say? Xiao Yu has six more fiancées besides you?”
“It… it seems so.”
“Are you sure?”
“He told me himself, it shouldn’t be false.”
“Damn it!”
“Grandpa, what’s wrong?”
Seeing Old Master Su suddenly punch the pillow, Su Yu Yan became very anxious.
Grandpa had just been cured by Zhou Yu. She didn’t want to see him collapse again due to excessive excitement.
“What a calculation!”
After a long while, Old Master Su sat up straight again.
He looked at his granddaughter and said solemnly, “Yu Yan, since Zhou Yu has six other fiancées, you must remain clear-headed at all times and never be fooled by his sweet talk.”
Upon hearing this.
Su Yu Yan was completely bewildered.
Didn’t he just tell her to be more proactive a moment ago?
Why had he changed his mind now?
“Grandpa doesn’t mean it like that. Grandpa wants to tell you that from now on, you need to have a sense of urgency. Don’t relax, because Xiao Yu could be snatched away by other women at any time. No matter what, you must occupy the primary position in his heart, hold your ground, and don’t let go! After all, you are his first woman in name.” Old Master Su said seriously.
He knew what kind of person Zhou Yu’s master was.
And how could that person’s disciple be content with mediocrity and be an ordinary person?
Therefore, Old Master Su had reason to believe that one day in the future, the name Zhou Yu would resonate throughout the entire Dragon Country, and even this world!
