[There it is.]
[That soft expression men only use after they already start liking someone.]
Xi Ronghua immediately slapped Gu Zhen’s arm.
"Did you see that?!" she whispered aggressively.
Gu Zhen looked helpless.
"I saw it."
"And you said nothing?!"
"What exactly was I supposed to say?"
"That your nephew already looks lovesick!"
"Ronghua..."
Meanwhile, Gu Yue looked completely shocked.
"Cousin Wenxhe already likes her?"
Gu Xing frowned deeper.
"But how would Sister-in-law even know that?"
That single question immediately made the younger generation nearby fall quiet again.
Because that was the frightening part.
Su Yueqing had only entered the Xi Manor today.
She should not know Li Mei.
She should not know Xi Wenxhe’s reactions.
And yet—
She spoke as though she had already watched all of their futures happen before her eyes.
At the main table, Zhao Rui slowly exchanged a heavy look with Xi Jianyu.
For the first time since Su Yueqing entered the manor, the old woman’s expression became truly serious.
Earlier, they could still convince themselves it was all coincidence.
But now—
Even Xi Wenxhe himself was reacting exactly the way Su Yueqing described.
Meanwhile, Su Yueqing calmly continued thinking to herself.
[Honestly, Li Mei really is beautiful.]
[No wonder Xi Wenxhe falls so hard later.]
[She looks gentle and harmless.]
[Like the type to stab someone politely while apologizing softly.]
Xi Yunchen immediately covered his mouth.
Xi Yunhao kicked his chair hard under the table.
"Stop reacting!"
"How am I supposed to stop?!" Xi Yunchen whispered painfully. "She sounds more terrifying every second!"
Little Xi Anran blinked curiously while staring at Li Mei.
Then she tugged lightly on Lin Meiyun’s sleeve.
"Mother..."
Lin Meiyun looked down gently.
"What is it?"
Xi Anran lowered her voice seriously.
"I think New Sister-in-law doesn’t like the pretty maid."
Lin Meiyun nearly choked.
Xi Qianqian instantly covered her face.
Meanwhile, Su Yueqing finally looked properly toward Xi Wenxhe for the first time.
Tall.
Cold.
Handsome enough to create problems wherever he went.
The type of man who looked difficult to approach even while standing quietly.
Su Yueqing stared at him for another second before her thoughts continued calmly again.
