My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Grandfather, what are you talking about!” Su Jiu’er didn’t expect Su Mu to say such things at his age, and her face flushed with embarrassment.

Su Mu was unfazed and continued, ”Mr. Ye, Su Ze has told us about your performance at Medicine King Valley. I know Su Ze previously offended you and made you unhappy. I, Su Mu, also don’t know what to say to satisfy you, but today I want to put aside my pride and beg you to help our Su Family.”

Saying this, Su Mu struggled to stand up, intending to kneel before Ye Guichen.

Su Mu’s actions even caught Su Cheng and others off guard.

Ye Guichen was even more startled.

An elderly man on the brink of death kneeling before him—what was this?

”Sunan King, speak your mind, there’s no need for this!” Ye Guichen raised his hand, a force instantly supporting Su Mu’s body before he could kneel, leaving Su Mu both surprised and bright-eyed, ”Indeed, indeed! When Su Ze said you defeated Grandmaster Realm Hua Fengnu single-handedly and then killed thousands of Yin Souls with one blow, I could hardly believe it. Now, it seems you truly are a Great Grandmaster!”

”Amazing, at such an age to achieve such success—even Military God Chu Tiannan might pale in comparison!”

Su Mu was emotionally charged.

Su Cheng hurriedly helped Su Mu sit down, also looking at Ye Guichen in disbelief.

A Great Grandmaster!

If someone else had said it, Su Cheng wouldn’t have believed it.

However, with Su Mu saying it himself, how could Su Cheng not believe?

A Great Grandmaster at this age is likely unprecedented and unparalleled!

Almost instantly, Su Cheng seemed hopeful again for the future of the Su Family.

Ye Guichen ignored Su Mu’s emotional words and spoke calmly, ”Sunan King, feel free to say what you want. It’s true that Su Ze offended me, but he’s not even qualified to be my enemy, so I don’t take it to heart. I came to this engagement banquet mainly because of Su Wu’s invitation and because I consider Su Jiu’er a friend. As for anything else, don’t overthink it.”

Upon hearing this, Su Jiu’er’s eyes flickered with disappointment.

Just friends?

At times like these, she couldn’t interject.

She vaguely sensed something but couldn’t grasp the key issue.

Su Mu coughed again, ”Mr. Ye, I know I’m asking too much, but with your abilities, you can see my body is in its final stretch. I don’t want to watch the Su Family fall. Previously, I had no choice but to use marriage to secure the Su Family, even though the Shen Family intends to annex us. At least, after I’m gone, my descendants would not suffer too much and could still live prosperous lives.”

”You know, if I don’t do this, the predatory people in Southwest would wipe out the Su Family entirely.”

”So, I have no choice but to marry Su Jiu’er to the Shen Family.”

”However, people are always greedy. Initially, I didn’t believe you could return alive from Medicine King Valley alone, and I had selfish reasons not to involve the Su Family too deeply. On one hand, I feared sudden aggression from families like the Wu Family; on the other, I didn’t want to offend Medicine King Valley too much.”

”After all, with our internal and external troubles, I didn’t want too many enemies. But unexpectedly, Mr. Ye, you not only returned but also killed Hua Fengnu.”

”Suddenly, I realized our Su Family has better options.”

At this point, Su Mu looked intensely at Ye Guichen, seeing he remained silent, Su Mu continued, ”Of course, Mr. Ye, you may think I’m selfish. But I’ve lived a long time; I’m expendable. Yet, there are hundreds in the Su Family; they shouldn’t be implicated because of me.”

”If I were still strong, there’d be no problem. But you’ve seen my health now; I really have no choice. However, Mr. Ye, rest assured, if you’re willing to help the Su Family through this crisis and support my son Su Cheng in becoming Sunan King, I can offer you half the Su Family’s wealth as thanks.”

Ye Guichen smiled, ”Sunan King, you’re exaggerating. Money to me is merely a number; I’m not interested in it. Besides the wealth of the Heavenly God Temple, I also hold Medicine King Valley now, and frankly, I don’t even know how much wealth I possess.”

If others heard this, they would surely think Ye Guichen was being pretentious.

But hearing this, Su Mu felt somewhat ashamed.

Indeed, even without Medicine King Valley, the wealth of the Heavenly God Temple alone would suffice for Ye Guichen to squander across lifetimes.

To others, half of the Su Family’s wealth might be immense, but to Ye Guichen, it’s just a mundane string of numbers.

”Jiu’er, if you are willing, Jiu’er could be your woman.” Su Mu again focused on Su Jiu’er, ”Mr. Ye, I know Jiu’er has always been fond of you...”

Ye Guichen interrupted with a gesture, ”Sunan King, Jiu’er knows I have a fiancée. Though she lacks illustrious background and isn’t particularly talented, she was arranged by my master, and a master’s word is not to be defied. Sunan King, I understand your kindness.”

Su Jiu’er, upon hearing, felt heartbroken, her face turned pale a few shades.

She bit her lip tightly.

Indeed, in his heart, she was merely an ordinary friend.

She lowered her head forcefully, striving not to let tears fall, exposing her vulnerable side to Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen naturally didn’t notice Su Jiu’er’s anomaly and continued, ”Sunan King, as I said, I’m here for friendship’s sake. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. But rest assured, if Shen Lian truly dares trouble me, he will face the consequences.”

As he spoke, Ye Guichen took out a red envelope, placing it on the table, ”This is a small token from me; it’s not much money, but it’s customary between friends. May you have children soon!”

The gift was prepared earlier by Ye Guichen, only about ten thousand bucks, which might mean little to the Su Mansion, but since Ye Guichen came, he naturally wouldn’t come empty-handed; it’s a matter of courtesy.

Su Jiu’er couldn’t hold back anymore, standing abruptly, grabbing the envelope and throwing it at Ye Guichen, tears cascading like pearls without strings, ”Ye Guichen, you’re a bastard! If you don’t like me, you don’t like me. I don’t ask you to like me, but why bring this envelope? Are you mocking me?”

”Do you think my affection for you is justified? Do you think I’m just a lowly woman?”

”Fine, I admit you’re amazing! I admit unknowingly, I’ve carried you in my heart, but rest assured, I, Su Jiu’er, may not be a gentlemen hero, but I stand firmly and won’t cling to you!”

”Take back your damned envelope; whether the Su Family lives or dies, it’s none of your concern! From today, we’re strangers; I will pretend I’ve never met you this lifetime!”

Voice hoarse!

Pain piercing the heart!!!
