Chapter 335 - It Was Just A Man (1/2)
“Father, I’m fine now.” It was just a man; she could let it go. However, she was just not able to make peace with the fact that the one who had caused Qiu Yanbo to have a change of heart was Su Qingsang.
“Good that you’re fine now. I’m glad to hear it.”
The feeling that her father was exhibiting strange behavior intensified in Su Peizhen. “Father, are you really alright?”
“I’m fine, you should rest.” Su Chenghui’s voice reflected his fatigue.
Su Peizhen turned to leave, but she suddenly halted her footsteps when she was at the door. “Oh, right. Father, Meishan had mentioned that she wanted to go to Japan to enjoy the hot springs. Perhaps I’ll join her for a leisurely trip for a few days.”
“Sure, you’ll have each other for company. Let me know if you need a spending allowance.”
This time, Su Peizhen really felt that there was something weird going on with Su Chenghui.
“Father, have you forgotten? I have money.”
“Right, right, you have your own money.” Su Chenghui waved her off in a seemingly tired manner.

The air-conditioning in the study had been switched on, but the room was not cold. Her action did not jolt Su Chenghui out of his slumber. When she was about to leave after covering Su Chenghui with the blanket, she heard him mutter a few words under his breath.
Halting her footsteps, Li Qianxue stood still again. She heard the words clearly this time. Su Chenghui was muttering, “I’m not at fault. I’m not at fault.”
Fault? What fault does he mean? Li Qianxue furrowed her brows slightly. Her delicately made-up face reflected that she was deep in thought.
