Chapter 394: Chapter 393: The Young Lady Already Knew?

Little Bun’s large, distinctly black and white eyes darted around, her neck shrinking sneakily as if she were a little squirrel looking for a place to hide food.

Su Chenfei’s heart nearly melted, and he imitated Little Bun by shrinking his neck and asked in a low voice, "What is Little Auntie looking for?"

Now that Su Chenfei was aware of what had happened, Mianmian simply said, "Looking for the culprit, Mom said that those who do bad things like to watch their schemes succeed, so the culprit might be nearby. Seventh grandchild, help me look around."

Truth be told, there was a lot of sense in that.

Su Chenfei had once played a minor role in a thriller TV series, portraying a young college student who gets killed by a female murderer in one of the scenes. The script had a segment stating that after the police arrive, the female murderer stands among the bystanders, watching the police investigate the victim’s information.

It seems villains naturally derive pleasure from such events.

Therefore, Little Auntie was right; he also needed to keep an eye out for any suspicious individuals who might be watching Liao Ran and his fifth brother.

The cunning pair of grandfather and grandchild scanned their surroundings and actually spotted a suspicious person.

This person was a man sitting alone on a chair with just a drink in front of him. It was a restaurant meant for eating, but there was only a cup of herbal tea on the table, which looked very odd.

The man occasionally pretended to take a sip of tea and, just like the grandfather-grandchild duo, he glanced around as he drank.

In fear of being discovered by him, Mianmian picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and placed it into Su Chenfei’s bowl.

"Eat, eat, this is really tasty."

Su Chenfei joined in the acting, "This suits a child like you, it’s soft and easy to chew."

The pair carried on with their act, creating an exceptionally harmonious scene.

However, to those around them, the pair did not seem like people with notably good looks. It was the Illusion Talisman at play, making sure they would not be recognized.

While playing their parts and observing the man drinking tea alone, Su Chenyan finally spoke up in response to Liao Ran. His voice was very calm as he earnestly said to Liao Ran, "I cannot forgive you."

Liao Ran was startled, a flash of disappointment in her eyes.

After being stood up by Su Chenyan again, she had thought that under the influence of the red thread, Su Chenyan would forgive her for wanting to drug him, but to her surprise, he gave her a negative response.

Was this like when one spouse makes a mistake and, despite the other still being in love, they still want to divorce and cannot forgive?

Liao Ran’s heart pounded as she concluded this, but then she was shaken by an astonishing statement.

"I know that my feelings for you aren’t natural," Su Chenyan said with a straightforward face, expressionless.

Liao Ran was scared by Su Chenyan’s serious demeanor, her eyes becoming frantic.

She immediately guessed that it was the Su Family’s Little Auntie, Su Mianmian, who told Su Chenyan, after all, Little Auntie’s eyes were very powerful. The internet even claimed that Little Auntie had the Heavenly Eye, which could see through the Heavenly Secret.

But Little Auntie had gone too far, how could she reveal such a thing? So what if she had used the red thread? The instructions on the red thread even stated that only predestined bonds would let the other party know in advance, even if means were used, there was still love between her and Su Chenyan.

"Did Little Auntie tell you?" Liao Ran composed herself and even managed a smile, "I simply let us both know of each other’s existence in advance. Our connection was predestined by fate, Chenyan, we are meant to be together, it’s just a matter of sooner or later."

Liao Ran used several sentences to stress the meaning of being destined by fate.

Su Chenyan frowned, "No, this isn’t predestined fate. At least after I learned about this, even if I am attracted to you, I won’t want to have any further contact with you."

"With this in mind, even if we get together, I will not be happy. And you, do you truly have no guilt whatsoever?"

Liao Ran stood frozen.

She was certain that when Su Chenyan first took the initiative to speak to her, his gaze was incredibly passionate.

Liao Ran, who had been in love before, could tell that was the look of someone when they see a person they like. But now, Su Chenyan’s eyes were dim and lifeless when he looked at her, as if veiled by a shadow.

Was it really right to use the destined red thread prematurely?

It’s not written anywhere that two people in love will definitely be together. Throughout history, many people, even those in love, have separated for various reasons, ending up worlds apart.

Liao Ran thought moodily about these things, feeling incredibly choked up inside.

All she wanted was to find a man she loved and be with him, preferably someone wealthy and handsome, which isn’t an immoral wish. The red thread simply let her know in advance who her destined lover was, and she had always believed she did nothing wrong.

But now, with the way Su Chenyan looked at her, she surprisingly began to doubt herself, guilt unexpectedly welling up within.

Even if she ended up marrying Su Chenyan, could she truly enjoy his wealth without any pangs of conscience?

Liao Ran questioned herself repeatedly, her eyes downcast. She had carefully applied makeup that morning to win Su Chenyan back, with long, false eyelashes. The fake eyelashes still adhered to her eyelids, making her feel a painful sting.

Perhaps it wasn’t the eyelids that hurt, but her heart.

"I, I can’t be without guilt," Liao Ran finally spoke up, "I admit I’m not that virtuous, I’ve had crooked thoughts, but I do feel guilt."

Upon hearing Liao Ran’s words, Su Chenyan couldn’t help but smile, "I knew it, I thought from the first glance that you were a good teacher. I’m pretty accurate when it comes to judging people, my friends never do anything bad."

This was something Su Chenyan took pride in.

Compared to his youngest brother Su Chenfei, the friends he made, although from various walks of life, were all good people with no sinister intentions.

The first time he took Little Auntie to Kindergarten and saw Liao Ran, he also felt that Liao Ran wasn’t the type of person with a deceitful mind. Since she wasn’t bad, there was no need to hide or hoard anything; laying out one’s true heart naturally solves difficulties.

As Su Chenyan thought about these things and remembered Liao Ran mentioning Little Auntie earlier, he earnestly said, "Actually, Little Auntie did not initially mention any problem with you, even though she knew about the red thread between us for quite a while."

Liao Ran looked up in surprise, "You’re saying Little Auntie knew all along?"

Su Chenyan nodded, "Yes, that’s what Little Auntie said. She told me that the red thread tying us was indeed a real thread, so she didn’t interfere. But when she found out that the red thread was purchased, that was troubling. The red thread should have formed naturally, not taken out directly to let two people know they’re each other’s fated ones... Ah, I don’t really understand, that’s Little Auntie’s world, I’m just an ordinary person."

Liao Ran was at a loss for words.

Just now, she had actually suspected Little Auntie, feeling that Little Auntie disrupted her relationship with Su Chenyan. But it turned out that Little Auntie only revealed it after finding out that the red thread was bought.

Moreover, it was after she wanted to use that medicine to secure the man in one move that the truth was told.

Little Auntie had previously helped her rid of the Dark Qi, how could she be like this?
