Su Wen was taken aback by Zhou Yan’s feeble words. “Aunt, as an elder, why fear Hengyang’s anger?” Though Su Wen felt too embarrassed to voice it directly, she had spent some time coaxing him the previous night.

If fear were the issue, what was an elder to dread?

“Dear aunt, exhibit the dignity befitting your age. Don’t cower,” Su Wen encouraged Zhou Yan, her fists clenched in support.

A flicker of discomfort crossed Zhou Yan’s face. Nonetheless, her bond with Su Wen was strong; if she didn’t speak now, Su Wen would know the truth eventually. Discarding the facade of elderliness, Zhou Yan opted to confide in her niece.

“No! Wenwen, you don’t know Hengyang’s true nature. He’s inherently more malicious than most. Blame me for shielding you from the truth,” whispered Zhou Yan, drawing nearer to Su Wen. “While he behaves politely toward me, his aunt, it’s only because I’ve not crossed him. But should I dare, I’d be no more than a stranger to him.”

“Impossible!” Su Wen adamantly defended her partner. “Hengyang is responsible, steadfast, and meticulous.” She refused to accept the notion of his malevolence. He was a real man.

Zhou Yan regarded Su Wen with an expression that implied, “How naive, deceived and none the wiser.” She sighed, “It appears he cherishes you deeply.” Her eldest nephew reserved his true self for those he cared for.

The more he cared, the better he concealed.

“What do you mean?”

“It’s a blessing,” Zhou Yan asserted, patting Su Wen’s hand with a sense of superiority. To sustain the facade indefinitely was its form of happiness.

But Su Wen felt no such contentment. She sensed she had overlooked something crucial about Hengyang. Yet, upon reflection, it seemed implausible!

Recalling all she knew of Hengyang, she had delved into the original novel before her transmigration. Though there were discrepancies, she saw only virtue in him.

Her exceptional Hengyang revealed no flaws.

Witnessing Su Wen’s admiration for her nephew, Zhou Yan felt even more smug.

“Wenwen, I’m counting on you to speak on my behalf. Nephew is angry now, and I’ll be in dire straits otherwise,” Zhou Yan redirected the conversation.

She omitted a crucial detail: the women of the Zhou family paled in comparison to the men. Though he’s of a younger generation, he’s the backbone of the new era. Groomed as the heir since birth, his upbringing has been distinctly different.

While her eldest nephew, was destined for leadership, Zhou Yan had lived carefree in her youth. She couldn’t compare to him.

“Am I able to help you?” Su Wen questioned, doubting Zhou Yan’s efficacy.

“You can, undoubtedly.”

“In that case… I’ll try.” Though she typically avoided meddling, she couldn’t refuse her aunt.

“Excellent, Wenwen. I entrust you with managing my publishing firm,” Zhou Yan exclaimed triumphantly.

“Aunt, regarding the capital’s organizers, what’s the situation?” Su Wen redirected to career matters, still pondering her path. “Please enlighten me,” she said.
