On the tombstone, Su Ping saw a photo of Tu Hengchuan's mother for the first time.
She was a very gentle woman, with a braid tied around her right shoulder, and her smile was frozen in her most beautiful moment.
Tu Hengchuan handed the umbrella to Su Ping and silently placed the flowers in his hand next to the tombstone.
"Mom, the only person in the world I can admit is more beautiful than me is you."
Tu Ling's voice sounded somewhat choked as he reached out and touched the photo of his mother.
Although her aunt made up for the missing part of her maternal love, she would still wake up crying from her sleep for the first few years.
Shi Xu held her in his arms under the umbrella and stroked her hair to comfort her.
Su Ping looked at Tu Hengchuan, who was squatting in front of the tombstone and looking at Tu's mother at eye level, and squatted down beside him, holding an umbrella in her hand to shield him from the raindrops falling on him.
"Brother Chuan, Auntie is really beautiful."
Feeling a warm little hand climb onto the back of his hand, Tu Hengchuan was startled and turned his head to look at Su Ping beside him.
She was wearing a black dress, and her clean-cut face, though without any makeup, was captivating.
Her hands were so warm that Tu Hengchuan couldn't help but move closer to her. The warmth was like a fire to a passerby walking on a glacier.
[Ding! The corruption level of the romanceable character Tu Hengchuan has decreased by 1%, currently at a total of 12%!]
Then Su Ping felt Tu Hengchuan grasp her hand again, and finally smiled as he looked at the photo on the tombstone.
"Mom, this is Pingping. I brought her to see you."
After staying with him for a while longer, the rain gradually intensified.
"Brother Chuan, we have to go."
Su Ping stood up and said to Tu Hengchuan.
Tu Ling wasn't feeling well and had already gone back to the car to wait.
Tu Hengchuan nodded. Having squatted on the ground for so long and not having eaten breakfast, he felt dizzy as soon as he stood up.
Are you alright?
Su Ping quickly reached out and supported his waist.
Upon smelling that familiar gardenia scent, Tu Hengchuan calmed his mind, and his vision cleared once more.
But he couldn't bear to take his hand off Su Ping's shoulder, so he kept it on her, and the two of them walked out into the rain again.
Su Ping held the umbrella in one hand, feeling the pain from his bones, and looked at him with a bitter expression: "Brother Chuan, although celebrities need to manage their figure, you are too thin. Eat more."
Tu Hengchuan chuckled and took the umbrella from her hand, without putting any weight on her shoulder.
From behind, it looks more like a man holding a woman in his arms as they walk forward.
The woman's black dress accentuated her curvaceous figure, while the man wore a matching black suit, making them look like the male and female leads from a TV drama stepped into reality.
When the group returned to the old house, they saw that Tu Sijun was already waiting at the door.
"You're back? Grandpa's waiting for you to have lunch."
Although the words were addressed to Tu Ling and Tu Hengchuan, Su Ping always felt that his eyes were seemingly falling on her, carrying an indescribable feeling.
It seemed like sorrow? Or perhaps anger.
[Host, last night Tu Sijun was afraid you would knock on his door, so he kept his eyes open until four in the morning before finally closing them.]
Su Ping blinked as she looked at Tu Sijun walking beside her.
No wonder I didn't see anyone this morning, they must have overslept.
"Sister-in-law, you look so beautiful dressed today."
Tu Sijun lowered her head slightly and spoke quietly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Only when you get closer do you realize that her loose hair has a faint scent of gardenias, which smells quite nice.
It smells so good, why did you smear poop on yourself yesterday?
Just to annoy him?
Tu Sijun's gaze fell on her slender waist. He was growing to like this sister-in-law more and more.
Suddenly, a pair of large hands blocked her slender waist. Tu Sijun looked up and met Tu Hengchuan's warning gaze.
Su Ping felt a chill run down her spine, thinking that Tu Hengchuan had overheard what Tu Sijun had said.
"You're back? Come and have some dinner."
After Old Master Tu spoke, everyone took their seats one after another.
Tu Ling sat to the left of the old man, opposite Tu Wen. Su Ping sat next to Tu Hengchuan below Tu Ling, opposite Tu Sijun and Shi Xu.
The food in front of her smelled delicious, and Su Ping's appetite had already been whetted. After sitting down, she began to eat heartily.
"No talking while eating or sleeping" was a rule established by Master Tu. Everyone ate their food silently, and for a while, it was very quiet.
Suddenly, Tu Hengchuan, who was standing next to her, paused and gave her a meaningful look.
What's wrong?
Su Ping was a little confused. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she lowered her head and continued eating.
He had barely taken a couple of bites when he felt Tu Hengchuan put his hand on his leg.
"Everyone's here, so behave yourself."
Tu Hengchuan leaned close to her ear and said something completely unexpected.
[Host, Tu Sijun on the other side is trying to seduce you with her foot, but she misjudged the direction and instead stuck her foot on Tu Hengchuan's calf.]
"Pfft—"
Su Ping was overjoyed and looked up at Tu Sijun opposite her. Sure enough, although his posture was normal, a closer look revealed a hint of awkwardness.
Seeing her smile at him, Tu Sijun became even more unrestrained with her movements.
He said that with this woman's thrill-seeking nature, how could she not like him doing this!
Seeing that she didn't restrain herself at all, and even laughed out loud without restraint, causing everyone's eyes to turn over, Tu Hengchuan blushed.
After enduring it for a while, seeing that everyone had looked away, Tu Hengchuan pinched her leg as a warning.
Su Ping suppressed a laugh and leaned closer to him: "What's wrong? Doesn't Brother Chuan like me like this?"
Tu Hengchuan looked at her sly smile and gritted his teeth: "You'd better still be smiling later."
Oh wow, threatening her?
Disappointed at not getting a response from Su Ping, Tu Sijun withdrew his foot. His sister-in-law seemed to think it wasn't exciting enough, so he had to step up his game.
Tu Hengchuan thought his warning had worked and withdrew his hand from Su Ping's leg.
After the group finished eating, Uncle Nan served them tea.
"Little girl, where do you live?"
Old Master Tu looked at Su Ping and asked a question that seemed to be casual.
Su Ping put down the tea she had only half-blown, and she knew then that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
"Grandpa, I'm a local. My dad runs a small business."
[Host, do you know your dad knows you're calling that a small business?]
Old Master Tu withdrew his gaze and nodded. Their Tu family was large and wealthy, so they didn't need to rely on Hengchuan for a marriage alliance.
How old are you?
He couldn't count on his son, so he could only place the Tu family's hopes on this grandson. Once the two of them had the child, the restless voices in the family would have to shut up.
As for the other one, Old Master Tu glanced at Tu Sijun, who was sitting quietly next to Tu Wen.
Illegitimate children can never be brought into the open.
Before Su Ping could speak, Tu Ling spoke up.
