I'm the villainous Dragon King? I start with a free 100-pull gacha pull for the female lead!

Meanwhile, Su Xiao was still barbecuing, figuring out how to create a tragic backstory for herself.

Here, Su Qingyue had just escorted the old man to his study.

As soon as the old man sat down, he smiled and took Su Qingyue's hand, saying, "Qingyue, don't you want to ask Grandpa why your fiancé has turned this place upside down, yet Grandpa isn't angry at all, but rather somewhat admires him?"

Su Qingyue nodded slightly.

She really couldn't understand why her grandfather, who was usually a bit old-fashioned and valued rules the most, seemed like a completely different person today.

The old man leaned back in his chair and explained to her softly:

"The second wife is right. Xiao Yezi has no house, no job, and not even any special talents."

"But actually none of these things matter."

"Does the Su family lack a house or a car from him?"

"Does he have any job that could be worth even a drop in the ocean compared to the Su family's wealth?"

He paused, his expression softening.

What Grandpa valued most was his heart.

Look at what that snob from the second wife said to him at the dinner party just now, all barbed and sarcastic, but that kid didn't get angry at all, he just took it all in.

"This is forbearance, but not weak forbearance."

The old man had sharp eyes and said calmly, "The second branch of the family can't see it, but I can. It's a kind of condescending contempt, like a dragon in the heavens that doesn't care about the clamor of ants."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyue was taken aback.

During the dinner, she felt that Ye Shu was stupid and couldn't understand the meaning behind the second wife's words at all, which made her very angry.

But after Grandpa said that, he seemed to become much more impressive?

"But why did he suddenly flip the table?"

Su Qingyue couldn't help but press for more information.

This was also what she couldn't understand the most. Ye Shu was behaving himself one minute, and then suddenly went crazy the next.

This is completely contrary to Grandpa's theory.

Upon hearing this, the old man chuckled and asked, "Did you notice when he slammed down his chopsticks?"

"When did you throw down your chopsticks?"

Su Qingyue repeated the sentence, then frowned and began to think.

After a moment, she looked up and tentatively asked in a low voice, "It seemed to be... when he finished eating the rice in his bowl?"

"Yes, and no."

The old man shook his head.

"That was... when the second wife said he was in poor condition, felt he wasn't good enough for me, and said it would be difficult to handle?"

Su Qingyue asked again.

"There are some factors involved, but that's not entirely true either."

The old man shook his head again. This time, Su Qingyue frowned and pondered for even longer, but she still couldn't come up with an answer.

After thinking for a long time, Su Qingyue still couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up. She took the old man's hand and gently shook it from side to side a few times, saying in a coquettish tone, "Grandpa, stop keeping me in suspense~"

"Otherwise—I'll pull your beard!"

"Alright, alright, you little rascal, you can't even see through your own husband, yet you dare to threaten this old man like me." Grandpa Su laughed heartily, but he wasn't angry at all; instead, his face was full of doting affection.

The old man raised his finger and pointed it directly at Su Qingyue, "You only think about others, but you never think about yourself."

"Myself?"

Su Qingyue was taken aback.

"Not bad." The old man nodded. "What were you about to do just before he threw down his chopsticks?"

"When I heard the second wife's family say such awful things, and Ye Shu seemed so nonchalant, I was furious and was about to put down my chopsticks and give them a good scolding..."

At this point, Su Qingyue suddenly froze.

She suddenly realized.

Just as she was consumed by anger and about to slam her fist on the table and completely break off all pretense of civility... Ye Shu preemptively threw down her chopsticks.

"Why...why?"

Su Qingyue murmured in disbelief.

The old man looked at her with a smile, "Just like you care about him, so you get angry when you see him being wronged. Maybe he doesn't care about those people from the second wife's family, but he does care about you. When you're unhappy, then he starts to care."

The words were a bit of a mouthful, but Su Qingyue understood them perfectly.

She stood there, stunned and speechless.

A gentle warmth spread through her heart, making her nose tingle.

"Qingyue." The old man held her hand and said slowly, "Grandpa knows that you resent Grandpa, that you insisted on getting married so early, and even used the family property to force you."

"But Grandpa has no choice. The Su family tree may seem lush and verdant, but it's rotten inside. What will you do after Grandpa's gone?"

"It's too much of a burden for you to carry on your shoulders. It's too hard."

"Little Leaf may have nothing, and may not be able to help you much in business. But she is a shoulder you can lean on when you're tired. She is an embrace you can hide in when you feel wronged."

"He doesn't need to shoulder the burden of the Su family."

"All he needs to do is hold an umbrella for you, and Grandpa can rest assured and leave in peace."

The old man smiled with some relief.

Su Qingyue finally couldn't hold back her tears. She hugged the old man's frail body tightly, shook her head vigorously, and said in a choked voice, "No, Grandpa... you will live to be a hundred years old."

"Silly child, no one can live forever."

The old man gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled, "Now that you've found someone who truly cares for you, Grandpa can rest easy."

He paused, then gently pried the girl's hands apart.

"Alright, stop crying. Go out now. That kid's getting impatient. He'll come in and cause a scene, and this old man's bones can't take it. Grandpa's tired, I need to rest for a while."

Su Qingyue left the study, glancing back every few steps.

When she returned to the main hall.

I saw Ye Shu and Su Xiao huddled together on the sofa, whispering to each other.

"Let me tell you, the kind of icy female CEO is the easiest to flirt with. They look cold on the outside, but they're actually quite childish inside. For example, last time your sister got drunk at home and climbed into my bed in the middle of the night begging for a kiss! If I didn't kiss her, she would cry and make a scene, keeping me up all night..."

Ye Shuzheng was excitedly telling Su Xiao about Su Qingyue's embarrassing moments. Su Xiao listened intently, her eyes shining, wishing she could write it all down in a notebook.

This was the first time in his life that he had ever heard of his usually aloof and reserved sister asking for a hug and a kiss like a child.

"Really?! Brother-in-law, you're not kidding me!"

Su Xiao excitedly pressed, "Does my sister really do this when she's drunk?"

"Ding Zhen!"

Ye Shu was about to speak again when he suddenly stopped.

Oh no, someone has circled around from behind!

He reacted quickly, flipping over to dodge Su Qingyue's hand that reached out to grab his ear.

Seeing that her sneak attack had failed, Su Qingyue crossed her arms, glared at Su Xiao who was watching the show, and scolded, "Go, go help the cleaning lady clean the dining table."

"oh....."

Su Xiao, who had just been so excited, immediately deflated.

As he reached the restaurant entrance, he turned back and waved vigorously at Ye Shu, "Brother-in-law, I will definitely strive to become a qualified dragon!"

"come on!"

Ye Shuchao gave him a thumbs up.

Su Qingyue was dumbfounded by their appearance. Had these two become buddies after not seeing each other for a while?

She was about to have a tantrum.

But remembering what her grandfather had just said, her heart softened again. She gave Ye Shu a light punch, annoyed, and said, "Pack your things and take me home by bicycle."

"Yes, sir!"

The two walked out of the Su family's old house side by side.

At this time, the moon was bright and the stars were few, twinkling in the sky.

Su Qingyue sat on the back of the bicycle, watching Ye Shu ride away, and suddenly remembered what her grandfather had said.

"Ye Shu... why are you dancing?"

"Because of differing stances," Ye Shu said seriously.

puff-

Su Qingyue was amused by his answer. This guy was always like that, never serious, and you never knew what he would say.

But... it's not bad at all.

She stopped asking why.

Instead, she gently reached out, wrapped her arms around Ye Shu's waist, pressed her face against his back, closed her eyes, and whispered:

"Ye Shu, let's get our marriage certificate."

"it is good."
