Chu Lingyu held Xu Chencan's hand and kissed it.

"Let go." Xu Chencan glanced over at Xue Tianning. Seeing him looking at her with an ugly expression, she subconsciously wanted him to let go of her.

Naturally, Chu Lingyu had seen her little trick. A trace of coldness flashed through his eyes, but he still wore the same smile on his face.

He pulled Xu Chencan into his embrace, embracing her waist in a possessive manner. He glanced at Xue Tianning and said, "We're husband and wife. What's wrong with us doing this?"

When Xue Tianning heard this, his expression turned even uglier.

Xu Chencan rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, then shook his hand off with all his might.

"It's getting late. Let's go back first." Chu Lingyu suppressed her anger and told Xu Chencan with a stiff smile.

Fortunately, Xu Chencan knew that he was angry, so he nodded and turned to say goodbye to Xue Tianning.

"Mr. Chu, you also know that you have many enemies. I hope that those injuries don't happen to innocent people." Xue Tianning coldly said to Chu Lingyu.

That innocent person was naturally referring to Xu Chencan.

The corners of Chu Lingyu's lips curled up in disdain. He snorted coldly and confidently wrapped his arm around Xu Chencan's shoulder, slightly raising his head.

"Can Can Can is one of my men, I'll definitely protect her."

"Hopefully." Xue Tianning left without a word after that.

Staring at his back, Xu Chencan was in a bit of a daze.

Chu Lingyu unhappily covered her eyes and breathed hot air into her ear, saying, "I don't like it when you go see other men."

"…" This man is sick.

Only when they returned to the Chu Clan did Chu Lingyu return to the study room with a serious face, hoping that Mo Lan could investigate what happened today.

Coincidentally, Xu Yaoxi was right next to Mo Lan. When she heard this, her expression turned ugly.

Over the weekend, after her mother asked Xu Chencan if she was going to work today, she asked Chu Lingyu to take her to the old house.

Having interacted with his mother previously, Xu Chencan was no longer nervous. He allowed his mother to pull him to the back of the parlour.

"Auntie, did you grow these flowers yourself?" Looking at the colorful flowers in front of him, Xu Chencan felt dizzy.

Chu Mu's mother nodded and gave her the best lily.

"Ling Yu is usually very busy, and I don't have much work to do as an old woman. It's also not bad to just fiddle around with these little tricks every day."

This was indeed a good hobby. Xu Chencan was rather envious of her, wondering if she could become like this when she was old.

They hadn't known each other for long when a servant came to tell her that Xu Yaoxi had also come.

Chu Mu's mother answered with an unwavering expression. She then went back to her own bed, with no intention of leaving.

Looking at her expressionless face, Xu ChenCan could guess that she didn't like Xu Yaoxi, and thus felt slightly proud of herself.

That person had been liked since she was young, so what? And now, the person she could please was herself.

"Can Can Can Can, that's just a clown. You don't need to worry about him. Our Chu Clan has always cared about our reputation, and we're not qualified to deal with people like him." Mother Chu raised her head, looking at Xu Chencan solemnly as she spoke.

"Auntie, Yao Xing is my sister, how about I go?" Xu Chencan nodded in understanding before speaking again cautiously.

After all, this was the old dwelling. If no one went to receive her, who knew what Xu Yaoxi's mouth would say.

Old Mrs. Chu thought for a while before reluctantly nodding her head, murmuring, "This person really doesn't know the rules. Why would our wife come here to cause trouble for her?"

Seeing her cute side, Xu Chencan's smile widened.

The moment Xu Chencan walked out, he saw Xu Yaoxi sitting on the sofa, looking around anxiously.

"Brilliant Star." Xu Chencan smiled and called out to her.

Seeing that it was Xu ChenCan, Xu Yaoxi immediately frowned in disgust: "What are you doing here?"

"Isn't that what I'm supposed to ask you?" Xu Chencan walked to her side and sat down. She handed her a plate of fruit and complained in a low voice, "These people really are too much. Even if the guests come, they won't be able to prepare anything."

Hearing this, Xu Yaoxi immediately went on guard. She was not stupid enough to think that Xu Chencan's words were a simple complaint.

Xu Yaoxing began to take this man in front of her seriously. It had only been a few days since they had last met, but she could clearly feel the changes in Xu Chencan's body.

Xu Chencan called for a servant and changed the tea into Xu Yaoxi's favorite coffee. He even ordered someone to make some snacks for him.

"What do you mean?" Xu Yaoxi vigilantly asked.

"What?" Xu Chencan sipped a mouthful of black tea, pretending that he didn't understand.

Xu Yaoxi sat up straight, solemnly sizing up Xu ChenCan.

Xu Chencan showed no fear as well, allowing her to look at him generously.

It was because of this that Xu Yaxing felt scared. This was completely different from the previous Xu Chencan.

Noticing the change in her expression, Xu Chencan's smile grew even wider. "This is my old residence. I'm the young lady, and the guest is my guest. Since Madam is busy, it's only natural that I entertain you."

Xu Chencan spoke very slowly, but it was not hard to see the pride in her eyes.

"Don't be complacent, do you know how many people are coveting this position? What kind of ability do you have to be so calm? " Xu Yaoxi coldly snorted a few times. He was filled with disdain towards Xu Chencan's words.

At that time, her mother could become the wife of the Xu family, and similarly, she could become the wife of the Chu family.

Xu Chencan glanced at the proud Xu Yaoxi, and then let out a sigh as his lips curled into a disdainful smile.

"Since you're my sister, your sister should kindly remind you not to think about things that don't belong to you."

As he spoke, the smile on Xu Chencan's face gradually disappeared.

"Those who are able to own it. I'm just doing what I should be doing. What's wrong with that?" Xu Yaoxi disdainfully rolled his eyes at Xu Chencan. It seemed like she still did not put him in her eyes.

Since she had already said so, Xu Chencan had nothing else to say. He could only say two words, "Please do."

Earlier, she had promised her mother that she would be a good host, so now that Xu Yaoxi was still here, she naturally had to accompany him.

After feeling for a long time, Xu Yaoxi looked around, but still couldn't find his mother.

"Xu Chencan, did you say something bad about me?" Xu Yaoxi looked at her warily and asked.

"You're thinking too much." Xu Chencan didn't even raise his head.

Xu Yaoxing suddenly stood up. She walked up to Xu Chencan, picked up her book, and threw it aside as she looked down at her.

"You must have used some vicious method. Otherwise, Auntie would not have come to see me." Xu Yaoxi said with certainty.

Xu Chencan didn't expect her to be so confident in herself. Xu Chencan found it funny and rolled his eyes at her. He then took the book and decided to ignore her.

However, it was only in the blink of an eye that she noticed the gifts beside Xu Yaoxi. She curiously looked at them a few times.

"I didn't expect you to be so generous. To your mom, do you want to buy these?" Xu Chencan couldn't help but sigh.
