Chu Yihan pinched Su Yingxue’s cheek and found it amusing.
At this moment, with Su Qingzhi outside the door, it seemed like they were having a secret rendezvous.
Su Yingxue bit her lip. If her grandpa found out, how could she explain it?
But she had kept it from Chu Yihan, so she could only say, “1 want to surprise Grandpa. Until Your Highness proposes to me, don’t ruin my surprise for Grandpa. Otherwise, I won’t marry you!”
Su Yingxue snorted heavily.
Her words carried a threat.
Chu Yihan’s eyes flashed with helplessness. Her threat had worked.
Even the dignified Ninth Prince had to hide now.
As Su Yingxue emerged from the bathroom, Zhilan brought Su Qingzhi in.
Su Qingzhi’s thick eyebrows furrowed. “Yingxue, it’s late. What are you still doing up?”
As he spoke, he moved toward the bathroom.
“I just got back from the Xiao family. 1 was going to take a bath and then sleep.” Su Yingxue quickly blocked the bathroom door and smiled.
“Just got back? The gatekeeper said you’ve been back for over an hour!” Su Qingzhi frowned, clearly skeptical.
His eyes were sharp as he focused on the bathroom, taking another step forward.
This time, Su Yingxue didn’t try to stop him. She knew her grandpa was experienced and would see through her if she kept hiding.
But if her grandpa found Chu Yihan hiding in her bathroom…
She probably couldn’t explain it!
Seeing her not stopping him, Su Qingzhi instructed Zhilan, “Go check Miss’s bathroom.”
Zhilan didn’t understand but still went to check.
When she came out, she bowed slightly to Su Qingzhi. “Master, Miss’s bathroom is normal. Nothing unusual.”
Su Qingzhi asked, “Did you prepare water for Miss?”
Zhilan shook her head. “No…”
Su Yingxue hadn’t mentioned bathing when she came back!
“What kind of servant are you? Go prepare it for Miss immediately. She’s been busy for days. Let her take a good bath.”
Su Qingzhi’s face was stern.
Zhilan trembled in fear. “Yes, i’ll go prepare it for Miss right away!”
Su Yingxue’s lips twitched. “Grandpa, you don’t need to go to such trouble. I can wait until tomorrow morning…”
“You said you wanted to bathe just now. Now you find it troublesome?” Su Qingzhi’s eyes were piercing, making all schemes transparent.
He even pressed, “You’re evasive. Is there someone hiding in the bathroom?”
“What are you saying, Grandpa? How can you doubt me like that?” Su Yingxue widened her eyes.
Seeing her angry, Su Qingzhi’s expression immediately softened.
He patted her shoulder. “Alright, it was just a joke. I haven’t seen you in a few days and wanted to check on you.”
Su Yingxue understood that Su Qingzhi’s concern was more than just that.
He ordered Zhilan to prepare for bathing, making everyone in the courtyard busy. With Su Qingzhi and Su Wei here, anyone other than Su Yingxue would be noticed if they made any moves.
Su Yingxue suddenly had a bad feeling.
She went to Su Qingzhi and brewed tea for him. She asked her doubts, “Grandpa, it’s late. Why aren’t you resting? You’ve always taken care of your health.”
He wouldn’t wait for her so late for no reason.
Su Qingzhi replied calmly, “I know you’ve been busy lately and a lot has happened. I just came to see you..”
