Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Malicious Intentions_1
Chapter 91 -91 Malicious Intentions_1
Mu Yingchen had no choice but to accept his grandfather’s conditions for two main reasons. The first was exactly as his grandfather had said: with his mediation, their marriage would face no objections from anyone.
The second reason was that something had happened between them at the time, which he thought she wouldn’t mind, but unexpectedly—
If he had known how much she cared about Bai Yudie’s presence, he would never have brought her here, no matter what.
However, seeing her get jealous was just as adorable as it used to be.
Since her return from abroad, she indeed wasn’t as domineering or prone to jealousy as before, and he actually missed that.
As soon as Su Wanxia came downstairs, Su Father returned home and was surprised to see her there, asking, “Xiaxia, are you home for lunch too?”
“Hehe, yes, Dad.” Su Wanxia replied with a smile.
Aside from weekends, she seldom had lunch at home on weekdays, which explained Su Father’s surprise.
Su Father walked into the living room, preparing to sit down, but then noticed many gifts on the dining table. He turned to Su Wanxia with a puzzled look, “Xiaxia, do we have guests?” He even looked around but saw no one.
Su Wanxia laughed dryly, “Uh, sort of.”
Su Father was about to ask who the guest was when he heard footsteps coming from upstairs.
Mu Yingchen descended the stairs with an air of calm composure, as if he were in his own house, showing no restraint whatsoever.
Seeing this, Su Wanxia secretly pursed her lips. He really acted as if this was his own home.
However, this greatly startled Su Father. Recognizing Mu Yingchen, he exclaimed in astonishment, “Yingchen?”
By the time Mu Yingchen reached the living room, he politely greeted Su Father, “Uncle.”
“Hehe, sit, please sit.” Although Su Father was perplexed about why he was here, especially since he had come from upstairs—where his precious daughter lived—why was it that when he came home, his daughter was sitting in the living room and Yingchen was upstairs?
By all accounts, it should be him in the living room and his daughter upstairs, right? What exactly was going on?
Though Su Father was curious, he didn’t think it appropriate to ask too many questions in front of Mu Yingchen, so he opted to act as if he knew nothing, with a smile on his face.
Because of Mu Yingchen’s arrival, Su Mother busied herself cooking in the kitchen. While Su Wanxia wasn’t particularly skilled at cooking, in order to express her strong dissatisfaction with Mu Yingchen and her desire not to see or talk to him, she went into the kitchen under the pretense of helping out, but in reality, she was there for a free meal and drink.
“Mmm, Mom, this dish tastes good.” Su Wanxia commented after sneaking a taste.
“Xiaxia, that’s impolite. Yingchen is still here; it wouldn’t look good if he saw, you know, for a young lady.” As Su Mother added seasoning to the soup, she spoke to Su Wanxia in an indulgent tone.
Su Wanxia pouted, muttering discontentedly, “What does it matter if he’s here? I’m not afraid of him seeing.” After all, he had even drunk her leftover coffee, so what was wrong with her tasting some of the food in advance?
No sooner had she said that than she reached out with her chopsticks towards another dish, only to have it whisked away in the blink of an eye.
“You child, still so greedy at this age.” Su Mother moved the dish to the other side and then said, “The soup will be ready soon; set the table and get ready to serve the food. I’ll let you eat your fill in a minute.”
Su Wanxia chuckled, washed her hands, and conveniently took a plate of food out of the kitchen.
Upon leaving the kitchen, she instinctively glanced toward the living room, but it was empty.
Glancing over again, sure enough, she saw the two of them sitting at the chessboard, deeply engrossed in their game.
She arched an eyebrow. She had been in the kitchen for just a moment, and they had already begun playing chess. This man was up to no good—giving gifts and playing chess, he certainly had something up his sleeve.
With those thoughts, Su Wanxia placed the dishes on the dining table, then arranged the gifts he brought one by one before turning to the kitchen to carry out the other dishes.
Aunt Liu also came out with dishes, looking at the people by the chessboard, her mouth agape in surprise.
Then she exclaimed to Su Wanxia who was walking over, “Miss, your boyfriend is so handsome!”
Su Wanxia’s mouth twitched, should she even speak up? Should she? Never mind, it’s better not to say anything to avoid further confusion.
“Hehe,” she gave a goofy laugh towards Aunt Liu and then entered the kitchen.
Su Wanxia brought out two more plates of food and called out to the two engrossed in their game, “Dinner’s ready~~”
Su Father and Mu Yingchen then lifted their heads from the chessboard.
“Yingchen, I didn’t expect your chess skills to be so profound. If we continue, I’m going to have to admit defeat, haha.”
“Uncle’s strength isn’t all out yet, after all, your chess skills are more sophisticated,” Yingchen replied.
Su Father laughed as he stood up from beside the chessboard. He had indeed intentionally conceded some moves at the beginning because he had played chess for decades and naturally had considerable skill. However, he hadn’t expected that Yingchen, so young, could play to a draw with him and even hold a slight advantage, which was truly embarrassing.
But then again, it was only right for that man’s grandson to be so capable.
Mu Yingchen also stood up and followed Su Father to the dining room.
The dining table was a rectangle, and Su Father naturally took the head seat.
Although Mu Yingchen held a high status in the business world, in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he still needed to follow proper etiquette.
Su Mother sat on the left side of Su Father, and Mu Yingchen took the place on Su Father’s right. Su Wanxia, wanting to sit next to her mother, saw her mother pat the seat beside her and suddenly said, “Aunt Liu, come eat with us!”
“No, no, I’ll just eat in the kitchen,” Aunt Liu quickly waved her hand.

Usually, Su Father and Su Mother weren’t very formal, and since there were only a few people in the house and Aunt Liu had been with the Su Family for many years, she would join them for meals at Su Mother’s invitation.
Only when there were more guests would she eat in the kitchen by herself.
But today, with only Mu Yingchen as a guest, and he not really being an outsider, Su Mother called Aunt Liu to join them.
“It’s fine. Yingchen isn’t an outsider. Sit down with us,” Su Mother added.
Su Wanxia’s eyes twitched, why did that sound a bit, well, something?
“Yes, join us,” Su Father also chimed in.
Having no choice, Su Wanxia slowly made her way to the seat next to Mu Yingchen on the opposite side. She couldn’t let Aunt Liu sit next to him, and if she didn’t move, Aunt Liu would definitely head back to the kitchen to eat.
Hearing Su Father and Su Mother’s words, Mu Yingchen’s lips curled up slightly; the phrase “Yingchen is not an outsider” was especially pleasing to his ears.
As Su Wanxia sat down next to Mu Yingchen, she caught a glimpse of the smile on his lips and felt a surge of irritation, seating herself heavily on the chair.
Since Su Father and Su Mother had spoken, Aunt Liu couldn’t refuse any longer, so she reluctantly seated herself beside Su Mother at the dining table.
During the meal, Mu Yingchen kept adding food to Su Wanxia’s plate from time to time, drawing frequent glances from everyone around the table.
But he didn’t seem embarrassed at all and continued to eat gracefully.
