After the two talked things out, Su Yi accepted Liu Huan's care and feeding without any qualms.

Su Yi's cold was cured after two days of rest. When he went to work, Liu Huan got up early to find him clothes.

"Do I really have to wear all this?"

Su Yi looked at all his autumn clothes and couldn't quite believe it.

"It's been drizzling on and off these past few days, and it's quite chilly in the mornings and evenings. With your delicate constitution, you'd better wear something thicker."

Su Yi couldn't resist her, so he could only let her do as she pleased.

Once he was in the carriage, he took off his outer autumn coat. Changbai hesitated, then said, "Master, perhaps you should wear more."

Su Yi glanced at him, her eyes clearly showing displeasure: "Go on with your car."

Changbai turned around and drove the carriage. He didn't know what he had done to offend the young master, as he had been constantly being disliked these past few days.

As soon as everyone left, Liu Huan happily went to the kitchen to see what to have for breakfast. Su Wan came out and saw how happy she was, and asked with a smile, "Why are you so happy? Did you find some silver?"

Liu Huan turned around, tilted her head and smiled: "I'm happier than if I found silver."

Guan Yi rushed over and hugged her leg, "Auntie, I want to go out and play."

"After breakfast, we'll go shopping."

"Sister, these clothes are a bit too big. Let's go buy some that fit."

Su Wan tugged at her clothes, "I've been practicing the exercises you mentioned these past few days, and the food you prepared for me has also helped me lose a lot of weight."

"See? I told you so. You can't go wrong if you trust me."

The group went shopping happily and ran into Xu Jiuyan and Wang Ning and their friends.

Upon meeting, Xu Jiuyan abandoned her previous arrogance and humbly greeted Su Wan, saying, "Sister Su."

Wang Ning also politely addressed her as "cousin-in-law".

This puzzled Su Wan greatly; it was as if the sun had risen in the west.

However, she returned the greeting without changing her expression, saying, "Miss Xu, cousin."

Seeing that she wasn't angry, Wang Ning stepped forward and took her hand. "Sister-in-law, are you going to buy clothes? Let's go together. Huanhuan, is that alright?"

Seeing the harmless-looking person smiling at her, Liu Huan smiled back and replied, "Of course."

Several people with differing intentions looked at a few outfits together, and Miss Xu rushed to pay for them, which Su Wan couldn't stop her from doing.

Xu Jiuyan and her maid left. Su Wan looked helplessly at the clothes in the maid's hands, "Huanhuan, what should we do?"

Liu Huan wasn't as worried as her. "It's her business if she wants to give it to us. It's okay, we can just buy something to return it later."

Before they could even return the things they bought, they received an invitation from the Xu family to visit them.

"What does Madam Xu mean by inviting the two of us?"

Su Wan didn't want to go. She thought that if things were like this when she went to the Wang family last time, the Xu family must be even more formidable.

"I don't know, but I'll go anyway. I'll go see the princess while I'm at it."

Liu Huan didn't care. After all, she was tired of hearing those words. If something fresh came up, she might at least give them a glance.

When Su Yi returned and heard about this, he only asked for her opinion, saying, "If you want to go, then go; if you don't want to go, then don't. I'll just have someone pass on the message."

Liu Huan shook her head as she ate the food he had picked for her. "It's nothing. I'll go see the princess while I'm at it. I heard she hasn't been feeling well lately and can't eat anything. I wonder if she's caught a cold too."

Su Yi recalled what Xu Zijin had said to him earlier that day: "My wife has been feeling unwell lately. The doctor found out she was pregnant. This child is really troublesome. Wait till he's born and see what I do to him."

He raised his eyebrows as he said this, practically blatantly boasting.

Su Yi thought about himself; he knew he could have a child eventually, and he didn't want Liu Huan to suffer so much from giving birth at such a young age.

After thinking it through, he said, "Congratulations."

Hearing Liu Huan say this, he didn't reveal their conversation.

He simply said, "I'll come pick you up after my shift."

"Okay, no rush. We arrived late, so your arrival is just in time."

After finishing their meal, Liu Huan wasn't in a hurry to go back. Instead, she followed Su Yi to the study, ostensibly to cultivate their relationship.

“We’re going to get married someday, so we’ll naturally need to work on our relationship. If you treat me badly, I’ll make plans sooner rather than later.”

After saying this, he successfully earned a look from Su Yi.

Seeing that she was really bored, Su Yi gave her a blank sheet of paper. "Practice your handwriting. Xiao Shi writes better than you."

"Oh, so you're already complaining about me right after I finished speaking."

Even so, she still obediently picked up the pen and started writing, thinking, "Hmph, you dare to look down on me? I'll show you some amazing characters."

When someone starts doing something, everything around her is tidied up, including the vase on the table, which is polished to a shine, but she hasn't started writing yet.

Liu Huan yawned several times and lay on the table, muttering, "I'm tired, I'm going to take a nap."

Su Yi waited until everyone at the table was completely asleep before carrying the person out, turning off the lights, and leaving.

Liu Huan was not surprised to wake up in bed. When she got up to eat breakfast, Guan Yi complained, "Auntie, you are so lazy. I've been up for ages."

“I’m an adult, I can get up now, but you’re a child, so you can’t,” Liu Huan said with a straight face, spouting nonsense.

"Oh~ then I want to grow up quickly, so I can sleep in too."

At noon, Liu Huan and her companion finally packed their things and headed to the Xu residence.

As soon as they entered, they were greeted by Madam Xu's people.

"I have met Madam Xu."

Liu Huan had met Madam Xu several times, all at the Prince's residence.

Madam Xu was more sophisticated than Guan Chang's aunt; although she looked down on Liu Huan, she acted very warmly towards him.

"Get up quickly. I didn't know you were a member of Lord Su's family before, but now that I know, I realize that every member of the Su family is extraordinary."

Liu Huan bowed and said, "You flatter me, Madam."

Madam Xu pulled over Xu Jiuyan, who was standing next to her, and introduced her, "This is my youngest daughter, Jiuyan. I believe you have met her before. You young people should be able to get along well."

Xu Jiuyan stepped forward and affectionately took Su Wan's hand: "Sister Su, do you remember when we met last time?"

Su Wan smiled and said, "Of course I remember."

Madam Xu had someone serve the tea and then asked, "I heard that Wan'er has two children. It's hard to believe. If you saw her on the street, you'd think she was an unmarried young lady."

Su Wan still wore a polite smile: "I'm already in my twenties, young lady wouldn't dare to claim this. I was a bit chubby a few days ago and people laughed at me, but I've finally lost weight now."

Madam Xu knew who she was talking about, and Xu Jiuyan was also filled with regret. If she had known earlier that she was Lord Su's sister, she would have been trying to curry favor with her instead of mocking her.

Madam Xu didn't respond to this, and asked again, "I heard that Lord Su is only two years younger than you, so he must be in his early twenties, right?"

Su Wan replied, "I'm twenty-one."

Madam Xu nodded knowingly, "If this child were in an ordinary family, they would probably have already started their early education."

Liu Huan knew that it was time to get down to business.

Su Wan smiled and said, "He has his own plans, and we shouldn't interfere."
