Chapter 555. Enemies On A Narrow Road (1)
He took the coat in her hand, tossed it aside, and pulled her to sit down before he poured her a glass of water.
“A bowl of chicken soup, half a bowl of rice. Sis Wang makes pretty good braised chicken with mushrooms and candied golden sweet potato,” she reported very honestly. She accepted the water and sipped it calmly. “How’s Su Chen? Why is it just Zhou Zimo here? Did something happen?”
“Just that little thing. Elder Su gave Su Chen an ultimatum, telling to quickly get married. Otherwise, he’d arrange a wife for him. Su Chen was unhappy about being ordered around, so he planned to go to the border. Obviously, the elder and Uncle Su wouldn’t agree to that.” Mu Yuchen did not mind telling her about these frustrating things.
As Xi Xiaye listened, she suddenly remembered that time when she went to visit the Su family with Mu Yuchen, and the first time she met Elder Su. “The Su family’s elder has quite a powerful presence. The last time I met him, I thought he was quite scary too.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yuchen just smiled. “Grandfather Su has been controlling the military all his life. Resounding strength is in his bones, and his presence is extraordinary, so it’s normal for you to feel like that. Su Chen himself is slightly intimidated by Elder Su. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have caused such a scene this time.”
“But Su Chen is really not that young anymore. He’s already 33. Does he think he’s still very young?”
Xi Xiaye sighed as she could not help but lament, “Had it been before, I would’ve thought that it was not too bad being all alone. Unexpectedly, it would be a whole different life after marriage. Eventually, it would be better to have some good prospects. You should go advise your buddy. There are many women around him anyway, so it’s not a bad idea to pick someone suitable.”
“Are you worried about them too?” He smiled as he took her water and finished it in a few gulps.
“Actually, I find it quite hard to believe. You lot seem to be preoccupied with other things. By the time you try to catch up, other people would already have toddlers,” Xi Xiaye muttered with a shrug.
