Although Zhou Hengyang’s words were harsh, his actions spoke volumes of his attentiveness and consideration as he ate. He didn’t allow Su Wen to take his chopsticks; instead, he fed her after scooping up some rice.

“I can manage,” Su Wen protested, her cheeks flushing at his proximity. How could she allow him to feed her?

“With your swollen arm, how can you eat properly?” Zhou Hengyang glanced at her, still evidently annoyed.

“Did I not eat when you were gone?” Su Wen murmured.

Though her voice was low, Zhou Hengyang heard her. His brows furrowed, and his chopsticks froze momentarily.

“I’m sorry,” she said.

“Why are you apologizing to me?”

“Never mind.” Zhou Hengyang laughed, a hint of bitterness in his tone. “Let’s eat.”

“I didn’t expect Tian Xiulan’s cooking to be so good,” Su Wen remarked, eyeing the sumptuous spread.

Zhou Hengyang’s expression darkened.

“Did you notice Tian Xiulan’s strange attitude toward you?” Su Wen’s curiosity grew with each word. “Do you think she likes you? And is she married? Normally, a woman her age would be married.”

Zhou Hengyang’s handsome face turned ashen. He wished he could silence Su Wen’s incessant chatter with a kiss.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I’m not just talking nonsense. Trust me, a woman’s intuition is often spot-on.” Su Wen had sensed Tian Xiulan’s hostility toward her from the start.

Zhou Hengyang reached out and poked Su Wen’s cheek, feeling oddly satisfied.

“Don’t say anything. Tian Xiulan is already married. It’s inappropriate for you to speculate.” Zhou Hengyang was usually serious, dismissing trivial matters. He hadn’t noticed or cared about such things.

“Married? It doesn’t seem like it. My intuition tells me she’s not married.” Su Wen frowned. “Maybe they’re divorced?”

“It’s possible.”

“As I thought.” Su Wen nodded. “I think I understand what you mean.”

“What do you mean?”

“The issue might be that I entrusted all the properties in the capital to Tian Xiulan. Logically, I shouldn’t have done that. It was a hasty decision due to leaving the capital abruptly. She likely misunderstood,” Zhou Hengyang sneered. “She never dared to address me informally before. Perhaps she feels differently after assisting with property management for a few years.”

Humans were indeed greedy.

“Um…” Su Wen was speechless. After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “You’re already ignoring her. That’s a good thing for her.”

“Don’t be jealous. There’s no need,” Zhou Hengyang chuckled. “I’ve never seen you jealous before. You should be happy—it’s a rare occurrence. But what kind of jealousy is this?”

“There’s no reason for jealousy. If you’re suspicious, find someone else,” he added, smiling mischievously. “Tian Xiulan wouldn’t dare to set her sights on me. At most, she’d covet those dozens of properties.”

“Dozens of properties?” Su Wen couldn’t believe her ears. “How many did you entrust to her?”

“Forty-one sets,” Zhou Hengyang shrugged nonchalantly.
