Chapter 166: Quite the Convincing Act!
Su Yu slowly walked in, seemingly surprised to find others in the room. He paused slightly, his gaze falling on Han Jing, and called out warmly, "Jing’er?"
He was dressed in a dark purple fitted brocade outfit, with his ink-black hair casually tied at the back. Just by standing there, he exuded an aura as if everything else in the world ceased to exist, leaving only him in solitary elegance, his expression light yet irresistibly captivating.
Han Jing stood up, realizing just how tall he was. She wasn’t short, yet standing before him, she barely reached his shoulder. The last time they met, he was in a carriage, and there was some distance between them. Han Jing thought this man was as beautiful as a vampire; now, being closer, facing those deep, dark green eyes, she instinctively held her breath.
She wasn’t infatuated, but the man was truly irresistibly beautiful, a beauty that blurred all concepts, yet his cold, noble, sharp, and domineering aura made it impossible to overlook his gender.
"...Why did Uncle come here?" Han Jing had a very good impression of Su Yu, not only because of his inexplicable generosity at their first meeting and his promise to back her up. Just looking at this face that made her heart race slightly, she couldn’t help but lean towards him a bit more.
"Yeah, Yun Peng, why are you here?" Yun Feng blurted out, intending to cover for not knowing Su Yu, but habitually called out his name, and now...
Han Jing glanced back at Yun Feng, who had lowered his head, immediately understanding the situation.
She had always wondered why Yun Feng, with whom she was merely acquainted, would kindly send her silver after setting Su Xingyan up, and why he would travel far to the palace to help her at a critical moment. And why would the deeply spiritual Silver Wolf, Youyou, inexplicably recognize her as its master? None of this made sense unless someone instructed him to do so, someone who knew her.
Han Jing pondered but couldn’t figure out a reason. Although her memory of the past wasn’t particularly clear, she was at least sure that in all Hanjing City, the only one genuinely treating her wholeheartedly was Su Yaogeng. But besides Su Yaogeng, who else could be so special to her?
She didn’t expect it to be Su Yu, but now everything made sense.
She heard that in Hanjing City, besides Su Yaogeng, only Su Yu was at the Spirit Cultivation Level. Su Yaogeng wouldn’t know Yun Feng, so the only one who could command someone from the Yun Family like Yun Feng was Su Yu.
But Han Jing still couldn’t understand. Although they were barely relatives, and he had expressed his support for her, wasn’t he doing a bit too much?
"I passed by here to take a look; I didn’t expect you to be here too. So? Are you having fun at the palace?" Su Yu’s clear voice softened slightly when speaking to Han Jing.
Yun Feng stole a glance at him, secretly sneering in his mind. If he didn’t realize what’s going on now, he never would. With Su Yu’s alertness, would he not know there were people in the room? Would he not know Han Jing was here? He did it on purpose! He’s even acting like it!
He threw a highly contemptuous look, only to be ignored by Su Yu.
