Su Yuze soon drove to the Su Family Mansion. He knocked on the door, and a servant opened it. Seeing it was Su Yuze, the servant immediately welcomed him in. "The old master has been waiting for you in the living room."
Su Yuze walked in. An elderly man was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Despite his age, his imposing manner showed that he was far from being an ordinary octogenarian.
"Yuze, you're here," Su Rongqi took a sip of his tea and then turned to Su Yuze. "You came quite quickly." This was enough to show Su Rou's importance in Su Yuze's heart.
Su Yuze didn't beat around the bush. He stood behind Su Rongqi and asked, "Where's Xiaorou'er?"
"Don't worry. She's my granddaughter, not an outsider. I won't hurt her." This Su Yuze was being a bit too nervous. After all, he was still Su Rou's grandfather. How could he possibly harm his own family?
Only Su Yuze knew that he had always kept Su Rou away from Su Rongqi. Su Rongqi was old and had experienced a lot. Su Yuze was worried that he might notice something, so he tried his best to avoid their being alone together.
"Then, where is Xiaorou'er?" Yuze insisted. "I'm taking her home."
"What's the rush?" Su Rongqi stood up. His strong build made him look like a military man, still full of vigor. "Xiaorou said she wanted to stay in the Su Family Mansion for a while."
"Impossible." No one knew Su Rou better than Su Yuze. She would never say such a thing. "Grandpa, please stop bullying Xiaorou'er. She doesn't like staying in unfamiliar places."
Unfamiliar places? Su Rongqi was displeased upon hearing Su Yuze's words. This used to be their home. How could it be an unfamiliar place? "Yuze, watch your tone. Do you still respect me as your grandfather?"
Su Yuze looked directly into Su Rongqi's eyes. Their gazes clashed in the air, as if sparks were flying.
After a while, Su Yuze said, "Grandpa, you lured me here with Xiaorou'er on purpose. You have something in mind, don't you?"
Hearing this, Su Rongqi burst into laughter. "Yuze, Yuze. I knew I hadn't misjudged you! Although you're young, your logical thinking is even better than Su Kaiming's!" "Yes, I do have a request," Su Rongqi nodded.
"What is it?"
"Come back to the Su Family."
"Sure," Su Yuze replied.
"..." So straightforward? This wasn't like Su Yuze's style! "Do you know what I'm talking about?"
A hint of impatience flashed across Su Yuze's face. "I know." This request was within his expectations. He had long known that Su Rongqi wasn't easy to fool, and he had used Su Rou against him. "But I also have a condition."
Su Rongqi's proud expression immediately turned serious. "Go ahead." He knew it wouldn't be easy to get Su Yuze to submit. As expected, he was a shrewd businessman who would never let himself suffer.
However... as long as Su Yuze agreed to return to the Su Family, it didn't matter what conditions he set.
"My condition is that I'll return to the Su Family after Xiaorou'er graduates from college," Su Yuze said with a faint smile. "You only said I should return, but you didn't specify when, did you?"
Su Rongqi squinted at Su Yuze. Good! Su Yuze had outsmarted him! "It'll be four years before Xiaorou graduates."
"You should say it's only four years," Su Yuze countered.
"You..." Su Rongqi knew that getting Su Yuze to agree to return to the Su Family was already his limit. Four years? Four years it was! "Fine, I agree!"
Su Yuze nodded. "Where's Xiaorou'er?"
"She's in Nuan Nuan's room," Su Rongqi said, feeling a bit sour. Su Yuze really cared more about his sister than his grandfather. "But I told her..."
Su Yuze fixed his gaze on Su Rongqi. "What did you tell her?"
"I understand that you two are close, but there should be a limit. Last time, Mei Mei saw you two being intimate. I've already reminded Xiaorou that you're her brother, and you should keep a proper distance." Fortunately, they were just very close, not having an incestuous relationship. Otherwise, he would have locked Su Rou up.
Su Yuze frowned but didn't say anything.
"Bring the young miss down," Su Rongqi ordered a servant outside.
A moment later, the servant led Su Rou downstairs. As soon as Su Rou saw Su Yuze, she was about to run towards him. But seeing Su Rongqi there, she stopped herself and walked over calmly. "Brother Ze, you're here."
"Yeah."
Su Rongqi took out Su Rou's phone from his pocket. "Here, Xiaorou, your phone."
Su Yuze reached out his long arm and took the phone. "Xiaorou'er, let's go home."
"Okay."
Su Rongqi said, "Since you're here, why not stay for dinner?"
"No need."
With that, Su Yuze forcefully put his arm around Su Rou's shoulder and led her out of the Su Mansion. Su Rou resisted a bit because Su Rongqi was behind them, but Su Yuze was too strong. In the end, she was dragged away.
It wasn't until they got in the car that Su Rou let out a sigh of relief. Su Yuze didn't waste any time and drove away immediately. "Xiaorou'er, what else did Grandpa say to you?"
"Not much. He told me to keep a distance from you." To the outside world, they were siblings. But there were plenty of siblings who were very close!
"Don't listen to him," Su Yuze said coldly. "You're mine. You're not allowed to get close to any other man except me."
Su Rou was well aware of Su Yuze's possessiveness. She hardly had any male friends. Even if there were some, Su Yuze would investigate them thoroughly, including their birth dates and family backgrounds. Once he found any potential threat, he would eliminate it immediately!
That was why she only had Xiao Yun and Yu Fei as her friends.
However, Su Rou didn't dislike this possessiveness. She was an abandoned baby. Who else would want her besides Su Yuze?
"Yeah, Brother Ze, you're mine too," Su Rou said, showing her own possessiveness without hesitation. "By the way, what did Grandpa say to you? Otherwise, why would he let me go so soon?"
"He asked me to return to the Su Family."
"You agreed," Su Rou stated rather than questioned.
"Yeah," Su Yuze nodded. "But the condition is that I'll go back after you graduate from college."
