Chapter 202: Courage and Hue

"The ways of the world are fickle; none of us expected the young master to fall for her, and to love her so deeply..." Butler Zhou’s weathered eyes also betrayed a hint of disbelief.

"When I made Su Wanxia leave, it was because I didn’t want Yingchen to be trapped by love and follow in his father’s footsteps. Yet, fate played its hand, and in the end, his heart was wounded, turning him into what he is now... Sometimes, I think it’s good for him to have someone he likes, but why did it have to be that woman’s child!" Lady Mu’s tone turned somber as she spoke.

"Madam, she has been gone for so many years; it’s time to let go of the resentment and hatred in your heart..."

Lady Mu’s gaze shifted slightly: "Let it go? I don’t know..." She shook her head.

What she hadn’t expected was that Shen Feixue had a younger sister, leading her to believe that for all these years, she was still alive and well in this world. It turns out... they had long passed away, leaving only her behind...

"Madam, you should get some rest too. There is someone here 24 hours a day to watch over him; rest assured..." Knowing it was unlikely for her to let go of so many past events in an instant, Butler Zhou did not say more, not wanting to add to her worries.

"When will Yingchen wake up?"

Lady Mu’s question caused Butler Zhou to slightly furrow his brow: "The young master’s relapse was due to the great emotional shock he suffered. If he wakes up in the next few days, with his temperament, it would only hinder his recovery and not help. Therefore, he must be kept in a state of deep sleep to rest for a longer period..."

"Then--will he be alright?"

"Madam, leave it to me..."

Lady Mu immediately looked at Butler Zhou with a face full of gratitude: "Wen Bin, these years, Yingchen’s well-being has been largely thanks to you taking care of him. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do..."

"Madam, you’re too kind. This is not only the master’s order, but as a physician, it is also my duty. Being responsible for the young master is being responsible for myself."

"Regardless, I still owe you my thanks!"

At that moment, Lady Mu’s face was filled with sincere gratitude; after all, she loved her son so dearly, and anyone who was kind to her son was as good as being kind to her.

When Su Wanxia regained consciousness, she found herself enveloped in silence, without a single sound, the space so quiet that she could only hear her own heartbeat and breathing.

In an instant, she opened her eyes anxiously—

Bathed in sight were the elegant, classic charms of rosewood furniture: the wooden wardrobe, the wooden ceiling, the wooden floor, the wooden table and chairs. She turned her head, the wooden bed—and she could still faintly detect a whiff of sandalwood fragrance at the tip of her nose.

She frowned, perplexed. Where exactly was she, and why was everything she saw made of wood...

If the old master Su heard her thoughts, he surely would have called her uncultured and ignorant.

After all, this was precious, invaluable sandalwood; how could it be referred to merely as wood?

She slowly got up from the bed, feeling a pervasive weakness in her body, lacking the strength to move, and her head was a bit dizzy.

She lifted her hand to her forehead, her brows furrowed in confusion. What was going on? She felt so weak—

Bracing herself, she surveyed the room, but felt dizzy and dark-eyed. With no other option, she obediently lay back down.

However, not long after she lay down, her stomach began to growl. She raised her hand to touch her belly, feeling incredibly hungry—

Having no choice, she sat up again, slowly moved to the edge of the bed, and was about to look for her shoes when the door suddenly opened from the outside—

Her heart gave a start, and she subconsciously looked up, wanting to see who had come...

However, before she could make out the person’s appearance, a cry of surprise immediately reached her ears.

"My precious granddaughter, you finally woke up..."

"Why are you up? Lie down quickly, lie down quickly..."

"The doctor said you need to rest in bed for two months; do you know that?"

Su Ran, who followed in, suddenly wiped away a tear of sorrow for Su Wanxia upon hearing this. The doctor clearly said it was one month, how did it suddenly become two? That increase was just too quick—

Meanwhile, Su Wanxia was completely stunned. She sat on the bed, unsure whether to move or stay still, just staring with wide eyes at the spirited elderly man before her—

After Su Qinglong came in and talked at length, he then realized that his granddaughter was sitting on the bed, staring blankly at him. He awkwardly laughed twice, like he was coaxing a child: "Hehe, don’t be scared, I’m your grandpa..."

Su Wanxia’s heart was slightly touched. Was this kindly, benevolent old man with silver eyebrows and affectionate eyes really her grandfather?

"Your name is Wanxia, right? Then grandpa will call you Xiaxia from now on, is that okay?" Su Qinglong asked with a beaming smile while discussing with the silent Su Wanxia.

If his subordinates could see his actions now, they would surely faint in shock. The feared Qinglong of the Qinglong Association actually had such a gentle and approachable side—it was unbelievable!

But Su Ran, who had grown up by his side, found nothing strange. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a cold and ruthless Qinglong, but behind closed doors, he was an elder who cared for his children and grandchildren—

Su Wanxia’s gaze gradually became complex as she looked at him. She didn’t know how she should feel about this grandfather she had never met before.

In her heart, she still held some resentment toward him; resentment for bringing her to this faraway place without considering her feelings, resentment for not allowing her parents to come with her, and resentment for forcing her to suddenly know so much without giving her any space to digest and think, making her have to accept these abrupt changes!

Old Master Su wasn’t upset by Su Wanxia’s lack of response. He smiled kindly at her and said, "You must be blaming grandpa, aren’t you?"

His confident expression and that accommodating look immediately embarrassed Su Wanxia.

How did he know she was blaming him?

Su Qinglong laughed heartily: "Granddaughter, your expressions are all over your face!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Su Wanxia huffily covered half of her face. Why did she feel like her grandpa was deliberately teasing her?

Was he really her biological grandfather?

Entertaining that thought, she blurted out without thinking: "Are you really my biological grandfather?"

Su Qinglong was taken aback, then he laughed again: "Just for that remark, you are definitely my true granddaughter! So gutsy!"

Su Ran and Su Yun beside her were already speechless and looking heavenward. Fortunately, this was not witnessed by outsiders, or Qinglong’s authority surely would have been greatly undermined!

But could it be that his adoptive father was too excited? It was just a sentence, after all—something anyone could say, yet he was being praised for bravery!

However, Su Qinglong didn’t see it that way. Normally, who wouldn’t approach him respectfully, nodding and bowing? Not to mention a girl, even his toughest subordinates never dared to speak to him like that.

But he also didn’t consider how different he was in front of those people compared to how he was in front of Su Wanxia. It was like night and day—to put it mildly!

Listening to his words, Su Wanxia’s mouth twitched... He really was a lovable old rogue, her grandfather!
