Xin i decided that she would cook lunch for everyone. Bai Yue tried to protest but she did not listen to her.
When she entered the kitchen, every housemaid and cook present in the kitchen were shocked. They were first shocked to see this unknown female beside their young master and now inside the kitchen to cook lunch.
Xin i dismissed them and did all the preparations for the lunch.
"Xiao i, need any help?" Su Lingtian entered the kitchen and smiled at Xin i.
"Grandpa, you don't need to help ." Xin i shook her head. "I can prepare the lunch by myself. You should go out and have so rest. Also spent so ti with grandma."
"I will do that but first I have sothing to talk with you."
Su Lingtian took the capsicum and started to chop it. Xin i felt impressed when she saw his cutting skills.
"Grandpa, now I know Yuchen has taken his trait of cooking from you."
"No, he has not." Su Lingtian chuckled. "I do not know how to cook. I only know how to chop so vegetables and that too thanks to Yue. She had always given the task of chopping vegetables whenever she used to cook in the kitchen."
Eyes of Su Lingtian beca warm when he talked about Bai Yue. Xin i smiled at him and focused on her dishes.
"Xiao i, are you angry on Su Yuchen?"
"I don't know grandpa," Xin i shrugged. "I get it that he doesn't feel right to tell about his past and the Jiang's, but as his wife I feel I must share his problem. How should I share his problem if I do not know who Jiang's are in the first place?"
"Xiao i, Jiang's used to be our good family friends. We has many businesses in the partnership. But when I decided to make Su Yuchen my successor, they were strictly against it. Elder Jiang had warned that he would break our partnership and friendship if I made Su Yuchen my successor."
Su Lingtian was cutting the vegetables while reciting a story from old mory. Xin i stopped whatever she was doing and looked at Su Lingtian with complete focus.
"That day, Su Yuchen was preparing to take over my business. He was a hot-blooded man ready to accept the challenge. He could not take it that Jiang's were against him becoming my successor. So, in his anger, he had said a few things to Jiang."
"The result was that, Jiang broke their relationship with us. Bai Yue lost her another friend and I lost my good friend. Su corporation was also affected. Su Yuchen thinks it was his selfishness that I lost my friend and now have a bitter relation with Jiang."
"Jiang's also lost their glory for which also Su Yuchen held himself guilty."
Xin i frowned not completely believing the story of Su Lingtian.
"But why does he think I will hate him after knowing his relation with Jiang's?"
"Because he thinks what he has done was a big cri. He thinks everyone will hate him after knowing he was greedy for the post of the CEO which led to the sore relations in between Su's and Jiang's."
Xin i nodded her head in understanding. She had already noticed that Su Yuchen could beco emotional at small topics. So, it was not a big deal that he was very emotional regarding the topic of Jiang's.
Su Lingtian left the kitchen and at the sa mont he exchanged looks with Su Yuchen. Su Yuchen nodded in gratitude and thanked his grandfather for lying like an expert!

Bai Yue and Su Lingtian were playing Go, Chinese chess when Xin i arrived in the living room. She smiled when she saw how Su Yuchen was trying to help Bai Yue with much the displeasure of Su Lingtian.
"Grandma, move this piece and we will win." Su Yuchen pointed towards the piece on the board.
"Chen, stop helping your grandma. She has already won two rounds because of you." Su Lingtian groaned and again focused on his board.
Xin i smiled and walked towards Su Yuchen. She placed her hand on his shoulder and took her seat beside him.
"You should have told about Jiang's. I don't hate you after knowing about them."
Su Yuchen faked a surprised look when he heard her.
"Grandpa told everything." She interlaced her fingers with his. "I can understand what you did and why you did. I have also done so mistakes like you. But that does not an you will start hating . So why should I hate you?"
Su Yuchen smiled and nodded to her. "Thanks for being so understanding, i."
They all enjoy the rounds of Go for so ti before Xin i invited everyone for the lunch.
Later, Su Yuchen took Xin i out in the garden where dogs were running after one another.
"Yuchen, why have you brought here?" Xin i again jumped in the arms of Su Yuchen and hugged him tightly. "You don't know about my fear toward dogs.."
"And I don't want that. I want you to shoo away your fear."
Su Yuchen called so dogs which ca running towards him. "Look how obedient they are." He lovingly patted on the head of dogs.
"i, try to pat on their head. Co on, give your hand."
Su Yuchen took her hand in his. He opened her tightened fist, taking which in his hand, he started to pat the dog. He smiled and looked at her face.
Xin i was nervous and afraid all this while but she let Su Yuchen make her pat the dog.
"Their fur is so soft." She comnted in astonishnt.
"I know. Now step down and again try to pet them."
"But what if they bite ?"
"They will not. Now step down."
Trusting on Su Yuchen, Xin i stepped down from his hug. Dogs ca around her and lifted their heads. She gently patted on their heads and smiled when she saw a goofy grins on the lips of dogs.
"Co with ." Su Yuchen pulled Xin i toward the back of the garden once she was done patting the dogs.
In the back were many small puppies. Su Yuchen gently took one puppy in his arm and patted on it's back. He gently combed it's fur.
Xin i felt astonishnt and started to pat on the puppy's back. Soon, she beca strong enough to carry it in her arms.
"Awe, it is so cute."
Xin i smiled and rocked the puppy in her arms. She looked at the puppy with awe when it yawned in her arms.
Su Yuchen sighed when he looked at her. At least, he was able to take away one of her fear!
