Although Zhou Hengyangs words were harsh, his actions spoke volumes of his attentiveness and consideration as he ate. He didnt allow Su Wen to take his chopsticks; instead, he fed her after scooping up some rice.

I can manage, Su Wen protested, her cheeks flus.h.i.+ng at his proximity. How could she allow him to feed her?

With your swollen arm, how can you eat properly? Zhou Hengyang glanced at her, still evidently annoyed.

Did I not eat when you were gone? Su Wen murmured.

Though her voice was low, Zhou Hengyang heard her. His brows furrowed, and his chopsticks froze momentarily.

Im sorry, she said.

Why are you apologizing to me?

Never mind. Zhou Hengyang laughed, a hint of bitterness in his tone. Lets eat.

I didnt expect Tian Xiulans cooking to be so good, Su Wen remarked, eyeing the sumptuous spread.

Zhou Hengyangs expression darkened.

Did you notice Tian Xiulans strange att.i.tude toward you? Su Wens curiosity grew with each word. Do you think she likes you? And is she married? Normally, a woman her age would be married.

Zhou Hengyangs handsome face turned ashen. He wished he could silence Su Wens incessant chatter with a kiss.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Im not just talking nonsense. Trust me, a womans intuition is often spot-on. Su Wen had sensed Tian Xiulans hostility toward her from the start.

Zhou Hengyang reached out and poked Su Wens cheek, feeling oddly satisfied.

Dont say anything. Tian Xiulan is already married. Its inappropriate for you to speculate. Zhou Hengyang was usually serious, dismissing trivial matters. He hadnt noticed or cared about such things.

Married? It doesnt seem like it. My intuition tells me shes not married. Su Wen frowned. Maybe theyre divorced?

Its possible.

As I thought. Su Wen nodded. I think I understand what you mean.

What do you mean?

The issue might be that I entrusted all the properties in the capital to Tian Xiulan. Logically, I shouldnt have done that. It was a hasty decision due to leaving the capital abruptly. She likely misunderstood, Zhou Hengyang sneered. She never dared to address me informally before. Perhaps she feels differently after a.s.sisting with property management for a few years.

Humans were indeed greedy.

Um Su Wen was speechless. After a moments hesitation, she said, Youre already ignoring her. Thats a good thing for her.

Dont be jealous. Theres no need, Zhou Hengyang chuckled. Ive never seen you jealous before. You should be happyits a rare occurrence. But what kind of jealousy is this?

Theres no reason for jealousy. If youre suspicious, find someone else, he added, smiling mischievously. Tian Xiulan wouldnt dare to set her sights on me. At most, shed covet those dozens of properties.

Dozens of properties? Su Wen couldnt believe her ears. How many did you entrust to her?

Forty-one sets, Zhou Hengyang shrugged nonchalantly.
