39: Chapter 39 Notoriety Spreads Far and Wide 39: Chapter 39 Notoriety Spreads Far and Wide Indeed—
When Su Ge used to visit Chu Garden with Chu Yihan, she ignored everyone with such arrogance and impoliteness, yet it seemed as if everyone found it normal, and Grandfather never blamed her.
Now that she’s polite, everyone feels as if she’s not herself anymore.
It just shows how notorious her reputation had become in Chu Garden.
“Do you think I would go through the trouble of hiring someone to impersonate me just to please you?”
Su Ge was about to speak when Chu Yihan’s deep voice broke the silence.
The Old Master, staring at the utterly unemotional Chu Yihan, was so irritated that he glared, “Yes, Old Master doesn’t deserve such efforts from you.”
Su Ge looked at Chu Yihan with slight surprise.
Why is he explaining for her?
It seems Grandfather is even less pleased now…
“It’s Xiao Ge’s first visit to Chu Garden; why don’t you show her around, Old Master is tired, I’ll go back to my room for a nap.”
True to his word, the Old Master, having had his mood spoiled by his grandchildren, stood up ready to leave the tea room with the help of the servants.
After taking a few steps, he turned back to the servant who had helped him with the gifts earlier, “Bring the Medicine Pillow Xiao Ge made for me to my room.”
With that, the Old Master left.
Su Ge had been looking worried, but a relieved smile spread across her face when she heard what Grandfather said.
It seemed that Grandfather wasn’t angry with her.
He even wanted to use her Medicine Pillow.
She had specially tailored the medicinal herbs in the Medicine Pillow to suit Grandfather’s health; it would surely benefit his condition.
While she was secretly rejoicing, she suddenly felt a cold gaze upon her.
Su Ge quickly suppressed her smile, turning sheepishly towards the man whose mood swung unpredictably by her side.
The atmosphere of Chu Garden always felt somewhat oppressive to her, but she realized that Chu Yihan seemed even less fond of Chu Garden.
Ever since entering Chu Garden, his aura had never warmed up, constantly enveloped by an unusually icy chill.
Being by his side, Su Ge felt cold enough to catch a cold.
“How much preparation did you do before coming to Chu Garden?”
Chu Yihan’s dark eyes stared intently at Su Ge.
“Ah?” Su Ge gaped, her round, big eyes wide and exceptionally clear.
Chu Yihan scrutinized her eyes repeatedly, and gradually the oppressive aura around him dissipated, “Never mind, I’ll show you around Chu Garden.”
Watching Chu Yihan stand up to leave, Su Ge slowly realized something.
Was it because she had appeared too familiar with everything after entering Chu Garden, whether it was her interaction with Housekeeper Mo or her calm reaction upon meeting Chu Tianrui and Chu Qinghong that aroused his suspicion?
Su Ge’s eyes darted around, and she quickly followed Chu Yihan, “I’m not particularly fond of European style architecture, so just take me to the Lotus Pond in Chu Garden.”
As expected, Chu Yihan’s footsteps suddenly halted.
His cool, dark eyes swiftly turned to look at Su Ge.
“You guessed right, I did indeed prepare before coming to Chu Garden.
I checked lots of information online, I heard that Grandfather has cultivated quite a large Lotus Pond.”
Su Ge clasped her hands behind her skirt, tilting her head up with a smile that curved her eyes.
She carried an air of ‘look how smart I am.’
The tension around Chu Yihan gradually eased as he looked at the girl’s delicately beautiful face, finding himself unable to refuse, “Yeah, I’ll take you to the Lotus Pond.”
Su Ge could clearly feel that the chill emanating from Chu Yihan walking ahead had dissipated.
He became noticeably more affable. Fresh chapters posted on ⓝovelFire.net
A sly glint flickered in her eyes.
Instead of letting him continue to harbor suspicions, it was better to openly admit, which might dispel his doubts.
Perhaps due to his long legs, Chu Yihan walked briskly; for every step he took, Su Ge had to take two to keep up.
Chu Garden was expansive in itself, and after trailing him with a small jog for a bit, Su Ge was panting and exhausted.
