Chapter 1397: Chapter 1397: Rejection

Out of instinct.

Su Yunjin took a step back.

The man in front of her exuded a chilling aura, and Su Yunjin brimmed with caution. Seeing Su Yunjin’s nervousness, the man quickly said, "Madam Su, there’s no need to be tense, I mean no harm in coming here."

After the man finished speaking.

Su Yunjin let out a sigh of relief.

As long as this man wasn’t here to cause trouble, that would be good.

Gu Ya wasn’t home, and she, a woman pregnant with child, was certainly no match for the man before her. Especially since this man held a sword at his side, clearly not one to be trifled with.

"Big brother, have you come to my house just for a drink of water?" Su Yunjin couldn’t help but venture a guess after relaxing a bit. This man was a stranger to her, and if he wasn’t here to cause trouble, the only explanation was that he might be thirsty and had come to ask for some water.

Su Yunjin intended to pour a cup of water for the man before her and send him on his way quickly. Otherwise, facing such a man who seemed formidable, Su Yunjin still felt immense pressure. What if she accidentally angered him, and with a swing of his sword, wouldn’t she lose her life?

Su Yunjin imagined that scenario in her head and couldn’t help but shiver. The man seemed to sense Su Yunjin’s change in demeanor - after all, she was someone his Family Head had taken to heart and instructed him to protect. He dared not frighten Su Yunjin too much; otherwise, if he scared her and she complained even the slightest to the young master, he could say goodbye to his position.

Both Su Yunjin and the man had their own concerns, each afraid the other might do them harm. The man tried to soften his expression, warming up his usually icy demeanor, before responding to Su Yunjin’s question, "Madam Su, my visit today was rather presumptuous, not to ask for water. It is at the invitation of our Family Head; I have specifically come to escort you to meet him."

"What? Your Family Head has invited me?" A flash of surprise crossed Su Yunjin’s face.

She was completely puzzled.

Who was this man before her?

And who was his Family Head?

Su Yunjin spilled out her confusion in a series of questions, to which the man replied with a smile, "Madam Su, our Family Head is someone you know. If you follow me, you will understand once you meet him."

But Su Yunjin was not a naive girl.

Not knowing who this man before her was, how could she possibly feel safe following him? If the man had ill intentions, wouldn’t leaving with him be like walking into a tiger’s den?

Su Yunjin had no intention of going with the man.

"Sorry, big brother, but I do not recognize your master, and I will not leave with you." Su Yunjin declined and went to close the door.

The man anticipated Su Yunjin’s action and stopped her before she could close the door, "Madam Su, you do know our Family Head; the Young Master Chu is our Family Head. Do you recognize this Jade Token? It is an item that our young master wears at all times."

The man took out a Jade Token from his inner pocket, engraved with the character "Chu" on it. This Jade Token was indeed something Su Yunjin had seen on Young Master Chu before.

However, her acquaintance with Young Master Chu was, at most, a nodding one. Moreover, all her dealings with him were currently managed by Gu Ya, so Su Yunjin couldn’t fathom why Young Master Chu would send his subordinate to fetch her?

Regardless of the reason, Su Yunjin had no intention of following the man to meet this Young Master Chu. Handing back the Jade Pendant to the man in black, Su Yunjin politely declined.

"Currently, I am pregnant and should not be traveling back and forth. I’m afraid I cannot accompany you to see your Family Head."
