[Did he come all the way here just to insult me?]
[How childish.]
Xi Wenzhe folded his arms.
’Childish?’
’The woman who created an assistant maid position to torment people is calling me childish?’
His gaze briefly drifted toward Li Mei.
Li Mei remained standing among the servants.
Unlike the others, she appeared unusually calm.
However, Xi Wenzhe still noticed the subtle tension hidden beneath her composure.
After all, Su Yueqing’s gaze had already landed on her several times.
And each time...
Nothing good followed.
His expression darkened slightly.
Meanwhile, Su Yueqing noticed his gaze.
The moment she realized he was looking at Li Mei, her eyes brightened.
Inside her mind—
[Aha.]
[Look at that.]
[He really is paying attention to her.]
[Perfect.]
The system immediately sounded alarmed.
[Host, why do I suddenly feel worried?]
[Because you’re intelligent.]
[That does not sound reassuring.]
A smile slowly spread across Su Yueqing’s face.
It was the kind of smile that made Xi Yunhao suddenly take a step backward.
"What?"
Gu Xiang looked at him.
"What happened?"
Xi Yunhao rubbed his forehead.
"I don’t know."
"But every time Sister-in-Law smiles like that, somebody suffers."
Meanwhile, Xi Wenzhe was already beginning to have the same suspicion.
Because the moment that smile appeared...
He knew she was plotting something again.
And unfortunately—
His instincts were rarely wrong.
