“You know what I mean, Sister,” Wang Jingyu said helplessly to Wang Jinhe, knowing that she understood his intentions despite her words.
Wang Jinhe naturally understood Wang Jingyu’s intentions, and it was precisely because she understood that he could feel at ease.
“Even though Mother isn’t here, Grandfather and the others are, right? With them around, why would you worry about someone bullying me?” Wang Jinhe raised an eyebrow at him.
Now, Su Xi’s care for her had surpassed Su Yu’s. With Su Xi, who was protective like a mother bear, there was really no need for her brother to worry so much.
Su Xi nodded in agreement, “Xiao He is right. With me around, who would dare to bully her? As for that Gu Xiruo, if Xiao He doesn’t want to personally deal with her, let alone Xiao Yu, even Yuan Bao could handle her directly. What’s there to worry about?”
Although Su Xi understood that it was natural for her brother to worry about his sister, Wang Jingyu’s constant reminders were starting to give him a headache.
Did this brat look down on their Su family so much?
“Grandpa Su, I know you care about Xiao He, but I’m worried that someone like Gu Xiruo might use underhanded tactics,” Wang Jingyu, although he hadn’t had close contact with Gu Xiruo, could tell what kind of person she was from Wang Jinhe’s words.
Faced with such a person, his innocent and naive little sister might end up being bullied to death.
Wang Jinhe twitched at the corner of her mouth as she looked at Wang Jingyu, unsure of what emotion to describe her current thoughts. It seemed like in her brother’s eyes, she was just a fool.
Before he could say anything else, Su Yu spoke up, “Are you not annoyed by your own incessant chatter?”
With a single sentence, Su Yu struck directly, prompting an irritated look from Wang Jingyu, “What are you talking about, you brat? What do you mean Am I not annoyed?”
Su Yu looked expressionless at Wang Jingyu, wondering if he had said something wrong.
“With so many people watching here, even if Gu Xiruo tries to play dirty tricks, can she outsmart Nan Qiao?” Nan Qiao was the mastermind behind all the cunning schemes.
Anyone trying to play dirty tricks with him would basically have no chance.
Nan Qiao, who was snacking on the treats made by Wang Jinhe, heard Su Yu mention him and nodded without looking up, “Brother Yu is right. When it comes to playing dirty tricks, I can confidently say that no one dares, and secondly, Jingyu, rest assured, I will protect Sister-in-law. When we return, I will make sure she is safe and sound. You can trust me completely.”
“Alright, then I’ll entrust my sister’s protection to you. While you protect Xiao He, make sure to take care of yourself as well and avoid getting hurt,” Wang Jingyu, who was usually chatty, suddenly turned to Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao innocently looked at Wang Jingyu, wondering if his appearance had led to some misunderstanding on Wang Jingyu’s part.
Luo Hou couldn’t hold back his laughter and chuckled, “Nan Qiao, I never thought that in Jingyu’s eyes, you would be seen as a harmless and innocent little guy.”
Giving Luo Hou a fierce glare, Nan Qiao said irritably, “Shut up.”
One sentence made Luo Hou chuckle.
Nan Qiao was truly amusing and fun to be around.
Su Yu watched the two of them bickering helplessly and shook his head, “Enough, you two, stop fooling around.”
Faced with Su Yu’s sternness, the two could only obediently comply. After all, Su Yu was too important to them.
Seeing the two instantly behaving themselves, the onlookers shook their heads helplessly. It seemed that only Su Yu could keep Nan Qiao and the others in check.
Wang Jingyu, who had been feeling sentimental about leaving for an unknown period, was suddenly distracted by the antics of the two, erasing all traces of sadness from his heart.
“Xiao He, I’ll leave with Luo Hou and the others first. Qin Lang will leave a bit later than us.” Qin Lang would return after holding the wedding ceremony here.
Their preparations at home were already complete, waiting for Qin Lang and Su Shan to join them.
Wang Jinhe nodded, knowing that they wouldn’t see each other for at least three years. She hoped her brother would be well.
Su Yu reached out and gently spoke as he put his arm around Wang Jinhe’s shoulder, “Xiao He, don’t worry about them. The Emperor arranged for them to stay together. If anything happens, they won’t be far from each other and can look out for one another.”
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu in disbelief, her eyes filled with surprise, “Is this true?”
“Naturally, it’s true.”
“In that case, I can rest assured. We should thank the Emperor properly for this.” She knew that Su Yu must have had a hand in this arrangement, but she was still grateful for Xuan Feiran’s care for Wang Jingyu and the others.
Just as Su Yu had mentioned, being together meant they could discuss any issues that arose and could correspond with each other if needed.
What Su Yu didn’t tell Wang Jinhe was that he had given Wang Jingyu a messenger hawk, raised on spring water since it was young. In the future, if there were any urgent matters, the communication would be faster.
However, Su Yu had no intention of telling Wang Jinhe about this. He had already spent enough time dealing with Wang Jingyu, and he didn’t want Wang Jinhe to focus on him even more.
“Did you do something else?” Wang Jinhe suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Su Yu, curiously examining him from head to toe.
Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe blankly, appearing clueless about what she was talking about.
Wang Jinhe chuckled at Su Yu’s act of pretending to be clueless, finding it amusing that he knew how to play dumb with her.
“Alright, I won’t argue with you,” Wang Jinhe muttered with a smile.
“In that case, I thank you, Madam.”
Suddenly being called out by Su Yu like that made Wang Jinhe feel goosebumps all over her body.
Giving Su Yu a playful glare, she said, “Watch your words.”
“Okay.”
Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhi stood together, “Brother, does this mean we won’t see Uncle for a long time?”
Xiao Zhi nodded, “Once you become an official, you can’t come home.”
“In that case, I won’t become an official in the future. Do you want to become an official, Brother?”
“If you don’t become an official, I definitely will to help Hong Yi,” Xiao Zhi said after careful consideration.
Xiao Bao nodded in agreement, “That’s fine. If you become an official in the future, I’ll focus on doing business. I can visit you often.”
“Okay.”
Listening to the conversation between the two children, especially when Xiao Bao mentioned not wanting to become an official, Su Xi glared at Su Yu fiercely and said irritably, “This is all because of your influence.”
“If it weren’t for you, Xiao Bao wouldn’t be unwilling to become an official, would he?”
Hearing Su Xi’s scolding, Su Yu felt very innocent, “Grandpa, this is all Xiao Bao’s own choice. What does it have to do with me?”
“Are you still trying to argue?”
Before Su Yu could retort, he was stopped by Wang Jinhe. At this moment, it was best to go along with Grandpa’s wishes; otherwise, Su Yu didn’t know how he would be scolded.
Letting out a heavy sigh, Su Xi looked at Xiao Bao, “Why don’t you like being an official?”
“I can’t go anywhere as an official. I prefer the freedom of doing business. If I do business, I can go wherever I want,” Xiao Bao was basically a copy of Su Yu, with almost identical personality and preferences. If Su Yu didn’t like something, Xiao Bao probably wouldn’t like it either.
Seeing this, Su Xi had to give up. Fortunately, Xiao Zhi was willing to become an official.
