I was completely stunned.
"Because of that photo, my grandpa saw it and wanted me to go home and explain the situation. I told him you were my girlfriend, and my family was very happy... but you know, being a daughter-in-law in a family like ours is very tough, sometimes even dangerous..." Su Shaochen held me and slowly explained in his magnetic voice.
"Grandpa asked me to take good care of you, so he told me to release a smokescreen... I originally planned to handle everything and then go home to explain to you, but I didn't expect you to run away."
After hearing him out, I tightly hugged him back.
It turns out, he had begun to think of me before I even realized my own feelings.
"Mr. Su..."
"Still calling me Mr. Su?" Su Shaochen showed a somewhat displeased expression.
"... Shaochen, I'm sorry, I was being petty and didn't listen to you." I buried my face in his neck, filled with a familiar scent.
