Fei Chen, who was standing nearby, watched this scene unfold, astonishment in his eyes.
Just now, what did Master call this woman?
Savior?
Has the Master met this woman before??
This was probably the first time he'd seen the Master like this.
So when Su Ye approached, he didn't stop her.
And then, he was shocked once again.
What did that woman just feed the Master? The Master didn't even blink, ate it without hesitation.
Wasn't the Master always repulsed by others approaching him?
How come he showed not even the slightest trace of displeasure this time??
Fei Chen was still reeling from this sudden shock, unable to snap out of it.
Su Ye reached out to pick up the teacup at the side, feeding him some tea.
Now, no one could stop her from being good to the male lead.
Whoever tried would have a problem with her!
She looked at Su Qing seriously, her voice gentle and soft,
"Are you feeling any better?"
Su Qing's long dark lashes trembled for a moment. He looked up at Su Ye, his voice slow and even,
"Where did Savior go that day?"
Being stared at by him like that, Su Ye suddenly felt, amid her nervousness, a touch of guilt too.
Why did it feel like he was taking this so seriously, questioning her about it?
It almost felt as if she'd deceived him.
Off to the side, as Fei Chen heard these words from the Master, his always-unflappable face stiffened for a moment.
It drew Fei Chen's attention off Su Ye and back to the Master.
This... was this really their Master?
Su Ye thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good excuse, so she could only choke out a word:
"Busy."
You know, there were three people in this room aside from Su Ye.
Su Jiuguo, seeing his daughter come in, noticed that her focus from start to finish was all on that handsome man.
Pouring tea, bringing water, keeping him company with extra care.
Su Jiuguo's expression turned a bit sour.
Just one good-looking man could bewitch her so thoroughly she even forgot about her own father??
Ever since she entered the hall, she hadn't even glanced his way.
Buzzing around that man like a pesky fly.
Su Jiuguo waited and waited.
Trying to get his daughter to notice his presence first.
But she seemed to have entirely forgotten there was even such a person in the room.
Su Jiuguo let out a heavy cold snort,
"Hmph!"
That sound finally drew Su Ye's attention.
Su Ye turned around and saw her father's less-than-happy face, glaring straight at her.
But her mind was all on Su Qing at the moment; she didn't have the space to figure out what was up with her dad.
She turned back again and looked at Su Qing,
"Why did you come here?"
Su Qing's long, narrow gaze swept along her cheek, his red lips slowly parting, voice unhurried,
"I heard that the 'Secret Luo' of the City Lord Mansion in Xuan Yue City has miraculous effects in relieving symptoms of poison, so I came to take a look."
She looked at him, then asked again,
"Just for this one thing?"
Su Qing's long lashes quivered gently; his deep eyes met hers. Instead of answering, he asked in return,
"Savior still refuses to tell me your identity even now?"
Su Ye smacked her lips. Before, she hadn't wanted to get more involved with him.
But now, this guy had come knocking on her door.
Even if she didn't say it, he'd find out eventually anyway.
She spoke,
"Su Ye, Young City Lord of Xuan Yue City."
Hearing her words, Fei Chen's gaze once again swept across Su Ye's face from behind.
That woman Su Ruoruo had described as arrogant, unruly, and with a Spirit Stone in her Dantian?
Thinking that, his gaze drifted to Su Ye's abdomen, then quickly looked away.
Behind them, the ignored Su Jiuguo let out a heavy, cold snort yet again,
"What are you still doing here? Why aren't you off raising funds yet?"
Su Jiuguo felt that Su Ye hovering around this mysterious man was rather disgraceful for the City Lord Mansion.
Wasn't that one hundred thousand taels already enough? Planning to get another one too??
Just thinking about it, Su Jiuguo felt so angry he saw stars before his eyes.
