Yu Xiangyang glanced at Su Huiqing. With her head slightly lowered, Su Huiqing curled her lips up into a casual smile.

She did not seem any different from usual.

"Grandpa, why did you believe her all of a sudden?" Yu Xiangyang looked at his grandpa, unable to figure him out.

No one understood his grandpa better than him and his other family members. Although his grandpa was a member of a noble family in Green City, he did not seem to take the other noble families seriously. Then again, he was so mysterious and stubborn that even Yu Xiangyang felt that his grandpa must have experienced a hell lot in his life.

Besides, this was the first time he initiated a conversation with a member of another noble family.

He even treated Su Huiqing with so much respect.

Old Master Yu walked down the stairs and gave a light chuckle. Rather than saying that he trusted her, he trusted Su Huiqing's backing better. For such a young girl to be able to understand the secret language used in international battlefields, she must have had a powerful person backing her up.

2"I will get going now, Old Su. If there's anything you need, the Yu Family will try our best to help you." Old Master Yu gave a solemn bow to Su Huiqing. "Miss Su, tell this rascal to ask me for help if you ever need any."

Su Huiqing just continued sitting at a corner with a calm demeanor. She knew that Old Master Yu was thanking her for saving Yu Xiangyang, so she did not feel very strange about it.

Su Huiqing's nonchalant expression deeply stumped Su Lun and Su Ruohua. The Yu Family was well known for having a weird temperament, yet Old Master Yu treated Qingqing so politely. He even seemed to respect her.

But what was with that nonchalant look on Qingqing's face?

"Grandpa Yu." Both of them stared at her in utter disbelief and watched Su Huiqing stand up. She raised her eyes and looked towards Old Master Yu before curling her lips up. "You can call me Qingqing in the future."

Old Master Yu nodded and bid goodbye to Su Lun and the others before leaving the Su Residences.

All in all, there wasn't a hint of unhappiness found on his face at all.

It was not until they had left that Su Lun snapped out of his trance. He looked at Su Huiqing in bewilderment. "How did you manage to win that stubborn bull over?"

"Grandpa, such incidents would only increase." Su Huiqing turned around to face Su Lun while she wore a peaceful expression on her face. "I guess you must have heard what happened earlier from mom. I just need you to trust me. You can walk your dog, water your plants, play chess, and do whatever you like. As for the rest, you don't have to care."

She did not respond to his question. Instead, she made him a promise.

Her eyes looked especially dark at that moment.

With one hand stuffed in her pocket and her chin slightly raised, the light made her face look brighter than ever.

Su Lun initially still had a few more questions to ask, but upon seeing the look on her face, he turned speechless. "It's great that you are becoming more mature now. So, I shall not ask about your little secrets anymore."

"Thank you, grandpa." Su Huiqing heaved a sigh of relief and turned her head around. She softly chuckled. "Goodnight, then."

It terrified her that Su Lun might ask about her abrupt changes since she hadn't come up with an explanation for that yet. She can't possibly tell him that the real Su Huiqing was already dead, right? Or that she was Su S, the King of the mercenaries from the International association, right?
