Old Master Su asked with a fake smile, "Were you laughing at me just now?"
"I was not," the old butler shook his head in denial. "It must be your imagination."
Old Master Su sneered, "I may be old, but I am not blind, nor am I deaf. I saw it, and I heard it."
"All your bonuses for this month are deducted."
Old Master Su snorted coldly.
How dare he laugh at him.
He was the master of the house, so he had to deduct his salary!
The old butler sighed.
His salary and bonuses were gone... If he had known, he wouldn't have laughed at the master.
Alas.
He regretted it.
Old Master Su then said, "When Hua'er comes over later, I want you to say something to her for me."
"Please tell me, Master," the old butler said respectfully.
"Just say it like this..." Old Master Su whispered his instructions to the old butler.
The old butler asked hesitantly, "Master, are you sure you want to do this?"
Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
"I must," Old Master Su said. "Otherwise, how would Hua'er know to feel sorry for an old man like me?"
"Alright then."
The old butler agreed helplessly.
Half an hour later.
Su Hua arrived at the Su family's old manor.
Old Master Su deliberately kept a straight face, looking utterly depressed.
Su Hua glanced at Old Master Su and simply sat down on the sofa.
Old Master Su frowned.
Why didn't Hua'er come to show some concern for this old man?
But Hua'er probably didn't notice.
He still had a backup plan.
Old Master Su shot a look at the old butler.
The old butler understood and began his performance.
"Miss, you don't know this, but the master just found out that you only came to keep him company because the young master isn't returning to the Night Manor. He is heartbroken. See, he hasn't said a word and has been sulking here all this time."
Old Master Su thought to himself.
Now that the old butler had reminded Hua'er, she should know how to comfort him.
Worried that Su Hua might find him too melodramatic, Old Master Su pretended to scold, "Old Chen, shut up."
The old butler clicked his tongue in his mind.
The master had watched too many idol dramas.
He had actually learned those tricks from TV shows. If he really didn't want him to speak, he would have interrupted him right at the beginning. Why wait until he finished speaking to interrupt?
Old Master Su said, "Hua'er, don't listen to his nonsense."
"Okay," Su Hua nodded.
Time ticked by, minute by minute.
Old Master Su waited for a long time but did not receive any comforting words from Su Hua.
Old Master Su frowned.
Did Hua'er have nothing to say to this old man?
"Hua'er," Old Master Su couldn't help but ask, "Do you have anything you want to say?"
"Say what?" Su Hua frowned.
Old Master Su took a deep breath.
He comforted himself inwardly.
His granddaughter just had low emotional intelligence.
He just needed to give her a little hint.
Old Master Su said, "Hua'er, you don't need to take what Old Chen just said to heart. Grandpa is not sad. On the contrary, Grandpa is happy to see that you and Little Xuan have such a good relationship."
"Okay," Su Hua nodded again.
Old Master Su clutched his heart, feeling stifled.
The old butler raised an eyebrow.
The old master really didn't realize his place in the young miss's heart.
The master probably couldn't even compare to a single finger of the young master.
In the young miss's heart, she only cared about the young master.
Old Master Su sighed heavily in his heart and decided to stop asking for trouble.
"Hua'er."
Old Master Su brought up serious business, "When do you and Little Xuan plan to get married?"
Su Hua frowned.
Old Master Su added, "Even if you don't get married, having a child first is fine too."
Su Hua remained silent.
A child... She didn't want a child to come between her and Xuan so early.
With a child, a part of Xuan's attention and heart would be divided and given to the child.
She absolutely would not allow this to happen so soon.
Also, getting pregnant meant she wouldn't be able to do intimate things with Xuan for over a year.
She had also read a lot of articles saying that a woman's body easily goes out of shape after having a child.
Xuan liked her body very much, and she couldn't allow even the slightest flaw to appear on it.
Pregnancy and having a child would have to wait...
Seeing that Su Hua was unmoved, Old Master Su became a little anxious.
"Hua'er, you and Little Xuan have been together for two years. It's time to get married, and it's time to have a child."
"You keep dragging this out day after day. Hua'er, aren't you worried that Little Xuan might run away one day?"
Based on his understanding of his granddaughter, it was impossible for her to get tired of Little Xuan.
But he was worried that Little Xuan might be enchanted by the pretty women out there.
Little Xuan was so outstanding now; there would definitely be many women trying every means possible to latch onto him.
Resisting these temptations required very strong self-control. He was worried that one day Little Xuan might get drunk and those women throwing themselves at him would succeed.
He had also loved his wife very much back in the day, but in the end, he was schemed against and ended up in bed with another woman.
If it hadn't been for what happened that night, there wouldn't be any property disputes in their Su family at all, and Hua'er wouldn't have been left wandering outside at a very young age, developing such a cold-blooded and ruthless personality.
Fortunately, Little Xuan appeared in the end, giving Hua'er a bit of a normal person's feelings.
"Xuan won't be able to run away," Su Hua said with certainty.
If Xuan dared to run, she would lock him up.
Old Master Su knew Su Hua quite well and had carefully investigated her past with Lin Xuan. He knew that his granddaughter had locked Little Xuan up for two years when he had another woman he liked.
She even crashed Little Xuan's wedding to snatch him away.
"Yes, I admit that. Little Xuan has no way to escape from your side," Old Master Su nodded and said. "But, Hua'er, when you first forcefully kept Little Xuan by your side, his heart wasn't with you. Did you really feel happy then?"
Su Hua's hands slowly tightened.
At that time, she suffered from insomnia every day, and Xuan was in a lot of pain.
Her heart ached for him, but she just couldn't bear to let him go.
"Hua'er, if you want to tie Little Xuan down better, you have to bind him with a child and a marriage certificate," Old Master Su advised earnestly. "With a child and a marriage certificate, Little Xuan's heart will be more firmly anchored to you, understand?"
He was truly afraid, afraid that Little Xuan would leave Hua'er.
If Hua'er didn't have Little Xuan, she would really end up dying alone.
"Okay, I understand." A hint of dark light flashed in Su Hua's eyes.
There were indeed far too many women who liked Xuan now.
She needed to deal with those people quickly, and then announce her relationship with Xuan to everyone.
But pregnancy... she still didn't want to.
"It's good that you understand," Old Master Su smiled in relief.
Hua'er had finally listened to his words.
Not bad, not bad.
He should be able to hold his great-grandchildren very soon.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
