Chapter 1335 - 1324: Treacherous Rebellion (Part 3)
After speaking, Song Xiaodong slipped directly into the villa.
Su Yuya stood there in a mess, what kind of situation is this? This Song Xiaodong, his reaction today was truly too strange. How could he actually flirt with her? This was completely different from the usual jokes.
She wanted to go into the villa, but Su Yuya felt a bit timid. If she saw Song Xiaodong again, could she still maintain her usual calm demeanor?
She wandered outside for quite a while before finally stabilizing her emotions. As she returned near the villa, she encountered Qingqing.
"Auntie, where did you go? You didn't take your phone, I've been looking for you for ages," Qingqing came forward.
Seeing Qingqing, Su Yuya surprisingly felt a sense of guilt. She brushed her hair to cover her guilt and said, "I'm just strolling in the yard, is there something up?"
Qingqing didn't seem to notice anything, taking Su Yuya's hand, and said, "Auntie, your health hasn't been good lately. When I couldn't find you, it worried me, so I thought I'd look for you."
"It's not that serious; you don't have to focus on me like that." Su Yuya felt very warm inside, for Qingqing's concern for her was genuine, and this concern made her feel even more guilty. How could she have any special feelings for Song Xiaodong? That would be utterly unfair to Qingqing.
"Auntie..." Qingqing turned her head to look at Su Yuya, hesitant to speak.
Su Yuya strained her face, saying, "What's the matter? What can't you talk about with me? Is it because that guy Song Xiaodong got engaged, and you're upset?"
"Of course not, I was just... sigh, Auntie, has Dongzi ever told you how to treat your illness?"
Seeing Qingqing's odd expression, Su Yuya curiously said, "He hasn't. Why, can't he treat it?"
"That's not it, he can, it's just... just..." Qingqing found the fact truly hard to disclose.
Su Yuya felt increasingly unsettled, forced a smile, and said, "Just what? You can just tell your auntie directly, I'm not that fragile."
Qingqing quickly said, "No, Auntie, you're overthinking. It's just... this treatment method is really awkward, I'm just afraid... afraid you might not accept it."
"Awkward method?" Su Yuya was stunned for a moment. Thinking of that day, her face turned red, and she pretended to be relaxed, saying, "There's nothing awkward about it, I'm just a patient, what else should I think about during treatment?"
Qingqing cleared her throat lightly and said, "Auntie, have you ever thought about divorcing your uncle-in-law?"
"Divorce? What's the point of that? We live our own lives, without interfering with each other's life, I think it's pretty good." Su Yuya was puzzled by the sudden change of topic, but still answered directly.
Qingqing said, "But your marriage is practically non-existent. What's the point of keeping it? You might as well just end it."
Su Yuya looked suspiciously at Qingqing, saying, "Qingqing, why are you suddenly mentioning this?"
Qingqing awkwardly smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm genuinely thinking for your own good. I think you should divorce so that you would be free and could do whatever you want without concerns."
Su Yuya was all the more puzzled, "I don't have to worry about anything now. If I want to find a man, no one can stop me, and this is also a marriage between two big families. Divorcing wouldn't benefit the Su family."
Qingqing stomped her foot, saying, "Auntie, let me put it this way, if you don't divorce, Dongzi can't treat your illness."
"What does my divorcing have to do with Dongzi treating my illness?" Su Yuya was even more confused.
Qingqing bit her lip and said, "Auntie, let me be honest with you, for Dongzi to treat your illness, he needs a special method, and that method... requires him to have a... a relationship with you."
"Ah?" Su Yuya exclaimed, her eyes wide open, and her open mouth shaped into a big O, not closing for a long time.
Since the topic was already broached, Qingqing continued, "Really, Dongzi developed a special method where, when with us, we can gather True Qi. Haven't you noticed that we're all in very good health now? We never get sick or anything."
Su Yuya finally closed her open mouth, feeling an indescribable soreness in her jaw. She rubbed it twice before saying, "Isn't that impossible? To treat my illness, it needs... it needs..." Unable to finish her sentence.
Qingqing forced a smile, saying, "Yes, Dongzi said that only in this way can he draw your True Qi into his body."
"This... this is too far-fetched, isn't it?" Su Yuya's expression became extremely odd, and at this moment, she suddenly understood why Song Xiaodong had such a peculiar reaction when facing her. That was the root of it.
Qingqing held Su Yuya's hand and said, "Auntie, don't have any mental burden. Dongzi is treating you, and once you go back, just get a divorce. Then, when Dongzi is with you, neither of you will have a mental burden. Once you're healed, you can live with all of us together."
Su Yuya suddenly shook her head violently, saying, "No way, absolutely no way! What is this about? I am your auntie; how can I have such... a situation with Dongzi—or rather, with the Family Head? How could I face you and Xuanxuan afterward?"
