    Du Qingyu and Su Hongxing sat under the parasol chatting for a while, then suddenly she said, “Qn is rather fickle. It was outrageous of him to bring a woman home after marrying you.”


    Su Hongxing nced at Du Qingyu, watching the slight dimples that danced on her beautiful face as sheughed. It was truly captivating.


    She found herself staring just a bit too long, but her face showed no change at Du Qingyu’s words.


    “You should be more understanding of Qn. That’s just how he is, he has a habit of being infatuated with novelty, and 1 doubt it can be changed. Perhaps it’s amon weakness of the Ye men. Yanhong was also a flirt, and Qn’s womanizing must have been inherited from him,” Du Qingyu remarked, her smile fading, a touch of worry painted on her delicate face.


    Su Hongxing remained silent, not offering any reaction.


    Seeing her quiet, Du Qingyuughed again, “Miss Su, your nature is quite stable.”


    Su Hongxing raised an eyebrow, responding indifferently, “I suppose.”


    Du Qingyu wanted to say something more, but then she looked up and saw a tall man strolling over. Her gaze focused on him, her smile radiant under themplight, exceptionally charming.


    “Qn, you can’t leave Miss Su alone, can you?”


    Su Hongxing followed Du Qingyu’s gaze. The elegant man strolling over was none other than their conversation’s main topic – Ye Qn.


    Ye Qn’s gaze lingered briefly on Du Qingyu’s smiling face before moving to sit beside Su Hongxing, “This is her first time at home, so I am a little concerned.”


    As he spoke, he took Su Hongxing’s hand, gently pressing her palm.


    Su Hongxing said nothing, remaining silent as before.


    “Where did you find Miss Su? She is quite an interesting person,” said Du Qingyu, suddenly leaning in closer.


    In that moment, her face was just inches away from Ye Qn.


    From a distance, it probably looked like a couple sharing an intimate moment.


    Su Hongxing, being much closer, saw how Du Qingyu’s and Ye Qn’s gazes were entangled. Du Qingyu’s tempting red lips were just shy of printing onto Ye Qn’s mouth.


    What game were they ying now?


    Just as Su Hongxing was feeling confused, Du Qingyu suddenly sat upright, a leaf in her hand. She shed a beautiful smile, “Qn, were you scared by me just now?”


    Ye Qn looked deeply at Du Qingyu, “I’m brave, not easily frightened. Xiaoyu, you’re not quite scary enough.”


    Hearing Ye Qn refer to Du Qingyu in such familiar terms, Su Hongxing slightly curved her lips, unnoticed.


    However, Ye Qn caught this small detail. He lifted Su Hongxing’s chin, “What’s made you so happy?”


    Su Hongxing was a stern woman who rarely spoke or smiled, but she had just smiled.


    She smiled very lightly, almost imperceptibly, but he caught it.


    Su Hongxing turned her head away, conveniently avoiding Ye Qn’s hand on her chin. As she did so, she saw Du Qingyu’s meaningful andplicated gaze.


    Yeah, she thought, she might have figured something out. The rtionship between Du Qingyu and Ye Qn wasn’t just that of a stepmother and stepson.


    She had justughed inadvertently, perhaps because she found it ironically funny to identally discover some high-society secrets.


    “Why aren’t you smiling anymore?” Ye Qn once again took Su Hongxing’s hand.


    Those who didn’t know the situation might think that Ye Qn was possessive of Su Hongxing.


    As for the truth, only Su Hongxing, the person involved, knew..
