After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 312 Support
Su Xiaoxiao's tears finally welled up, and she reached out to hug Su Ping'an's waist.

"Second brother."

Su Pingan patted Su Xiaoxiao's head and said, "Good girl."

His tears began to fall uncontrollably, landing on Su Xiaoxiao's head.

Su Xiaoxiao has been holding on alone for far too long. In order to avoid being bullied, she has become stronger and stronger, but she also has her vulnerable moments.

Su Xiaoxiao was crying her heart out when suddenly someone grabbed her arm from behind, and she fell from Su Ping'an's arms onto another person's chest.

"so hard!"

Su Xiaoxiao was in a lot of pain from the fall and was about to get angry when she looked up and saw that it was none other than Pei Yuan. Why was he back?

I never expected to see Pei Yuan here. He didn't even tell me he was coming back. What kind of behavior is that?

"Your subordinate greets General Pei!"

Pei Yuan looked at him coldly, his expression showing no sign of happiness.

"Why are you back?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked up and asked.

Pei Yuan remained silent, still coldly staring at Su Ping'an in front of him.

"I didn't expect you to be so wary of even me?"

Su Ping'an was speechless; he hadn't expected to be so disliked.

Or was it because Pei Yuan actually got jealous when he was struggling with Su Xiaoxiao earlier?

The scene was extremely awkward, considering that Su Ping'an was Su Xiaoxiao's second brother.

Su Xiaoxiao seemed a little angry and said to Pei Yuan, "Since you've already met, you should know each other better than I do. Why didn't you say hello? And Second Brother, this isn't a military camp, you don't need to be so formal."

Su Pingan thought about it and realized that made sense, so he quickly got up and tried to show some of the demeanor of Su Xiaoxiao's parent, after all, he was Su Xiaoxiao's older brother.

The person in front of him was his brother-in-law, and he straightened up again.

“Brother Pei, I would like to bring my sister to live with me. After all, you two haven’t really had a wedding yet, and living together would invite gossip.”

Pei Yuan looked at Su Ping'an with icy eyes and pulled Su Xiaoxiao behind him.

"You don't need to worry about that. Xiaoxiao and I have already made a lifelong commitment. I believe Su Xiaoxiao wouldn't want to break up with me like this, would she?"

Pei Yuan glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and then said this.

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless, but what could she say?

"Also, I will prepare a grand wedding ceremony for Xiaoxiao. Second brother will come too, right? We just need a witness."

Although Su Ping'an knew that Pei Yuan was indeed very good to Su Xiaoxiao, she still felt that the way he spoke was a bit unpleasant.

"Isn't your wedding a bit rushed? Was the date chosen? And it seems you already have an engagement, right?"

This was actually quite difficult. Pei Yuan was a little speechless at the time, but he still looked at Su Xiaoxiao firmly.

"I will negotiate with the Emperor and resolve this matter properly."

After hearing what Pei Yuan said, Su Ping'an felt a little relieved.

Only then did Su Xiaoxiao dare to interject, "Pei Yuan, could you please stop bringing up those military matters at home? We're talking about family stuff right now." Pei Yuan blushed slightly at Su Xiaoxiao's words, and he began to straighten his posture, ready to speak properly with Su Ping'an.

"Second Brother, let's sit down and have a good talk."

Su Ping'an finally relaxed a bit and sat down with Pei Yuan on the benches in the pavilion to drink tea.

"Well, what I want to say is that seeing how loving you two are, I'm really relieved. To be honest, as Su Xiaoxiao's second brother, I haven't been able to offer her any help over the years. Seeing her marry someone as capable as you, I'm genuinely happy for her from the bottom of my heart."

As he spoke, Su Ping'an's eyes began to sting.

That's true. Su Ping'an really wants to stand up for his sister right now, and no matter what he says, he has to show his attitude in front of Pei Yuan.

Su Xiaoxiao is no longer alone and helpless. We are here to support her and will always be her strong backing.

Pei Yuan wasn't stupid; he understood the meaning behind Su Ping'an's words.

"Please rest assured, Second Brother, I will definitely treat Su Xiaoxiao well. Moreover, I promise I will never take another concubine. If I ever do anything to wrong Su Xiaoxiao in the future, please come and find me with your sword, Second Brother. I will absolutely not fight back."

Such a responsible man is truly admirable, and Su Xiaoxiao, listening to this from the side, was quite moved.

That means if I, Pei Yuan, ever wrong Su Xiaoxiao in the future, please, Second Brother, come and do whatever you want with me, kill me or spare me.

With you speaking like this, what is there to worry about?

However, having a younger sister like Su Xiaoxiao is truly a great blessing in Su Ping'an's life.

He has now figured it out: he'll be content as long as Su Xiaoxiao is happy.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two had eased somewhat, Su Xiaoxiao said to Pei Yuan, "Go to the kitchen and make your second brother some delicious late-night snack. He hasn't tried the fried chicken and milk tea you made last time..."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao realized it was true; she had completely forgotten about that. Luckily, Pei Yuan had reminded her.

"Okay, I'll go prepare right away." Su Xiaoxiao happily went to prepare, but then she ran into Bei Yan. Bei Yan mysteriously approached Su Xiaoxiao and said to her, "Madam, could you please not hug Deputy General Su again next time? You know, our master is a jealous man. If he sees this again, he'll probably be ready to draw his sword."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao finally understood why Pei Yuan had been looking so downcast earlier—it was a sign of jealousy!
Su Xiaoxiao quickly replied, "Okay, next time you see your master come back, give me a little commotion."

"There's going to be a next time?"

"What's wrong with that? He's my own brother, what's wrong with me hugging him?"

Bei Yan said he had nothing to say.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen and personally made fried chicken legs, fried chicken popcorn, and milk tea. When she returned, she saw Pei Yuan and Su Ping'an already playing chess together.

The two seemed to know each other very well, which was quite unexpected.

This was the first time Su Ping'an had seen such a snack, and he really enjoyed it.

"I never knew Xiaoxiao's cooking skills were so amazing."

Su Xiaoxiao became shy after being praised by Su Ping'an; she was genuinely embarrassed.

"No, I just did it casually."

After having a late-night snack, Su Ping'an got up to say goodbye. Su Xiaoxiao did not try to stop him and accompanied her second brother to the gate before reluctantly parting ways.

As soon as Su Ping'an left, Su Xiaoxiao was eagerly dragged into the room by Pei Yuan.
