Jin Xun thought she would elaborate at length; after all, he had witnessed her eloquence before. To his surprise, all he got was a simple two-word answer. Indeed, no matter how articulate she could be, she was after all a commoner who couldn’t grace the grand halls of nobility.

And besides, she was…

He glanced at Xiao Qinghe, recalling that there were two more at her home.

One woman living with so many men…

It made him feel slightly nauseous.

However, he was ultimately a businessman. Had he not seen all kinds of people and scenarios?

Despite his thoughts, he hid them well.

Looking at Jin Xun’s unimpressed expression, Su Qingyue inexplicably realized she was being looked down upon.

Yet, she was the type to hide her skills and bide her time, never revealing her true abilities.

For instance, she was an extraordinary assassin – so skilled she could easily take down the top assassin in the organization. Yet she never liked drawing attention to herself. Even during training, she would just barely meet the requirements, and her mission completions were always lackluster. Any worse, and the organization would dismiss her as second-rate and eliminate her.

The consequence of elimination was death.

If she performed too well, she would be burdened with more and more tasks.

Keeping a ‘mediocre’ profile kept things easy and hassle-free.

In her past life, several top assassins from her organization were already dead. Of course, the more these shady figures died, the better.

She, on the other hand, was still very much alive, without any ‘sacrifice’.

Her eventual demise at the hands of her fiancé was, one could argue, a…mistake.

Seeing her fiancé entangled with another woman on the bedsheet had broken her heart. Her momentary negligence resulted in her death by her fiancé’s knife.

However, in this life, she wouldn’t repeat the same mistake.

Although poor, her spirit retained its tranquility in this life.

Though she was lost in thought, her face remained impassive.

Jin Xun, on the other hand, felt panic upon meeting Su Qingyue’s indifferent gaze. Her piercing eyes seemed to have a unique transparency, as if she could see through all his thoughts.

“Interesting.” Jin Xun said out of the blue.

She arched an eyebrow, “What’s interesting?”

“You’re interesting.” He replied, his lips slightly pursed. “I’ve never met someone whose gaze can make one feel so exposed. Miss Su has managed just that.”

He should have addressed her as Lady Xiao, but looking at her pure eyes, he decided otherwise.

She simply replied, “Oh? Is that so. Perhaps it’s just an illusion created by the gaze.”

“I remember every time I see you, it’s always amusing. Very interesting,” Jin Xun smirked while spinning the cup in his hand.

Xiao Qinghe was startled. Boss Jin, with his great reputation, had seen his wife that many times?

With a smile, Su Qingyue replied, “Let me think…I’ve only seen Young Master Jin…four times.”

He glanced at her, “Four times?” His eyes suggested disagreement.

She realized, “Boss Jin may have thought it was twice.”

“How so?” His interest was piqued.

She casually responded, “The first time, I brushed past you at the Vegetable Market with the waiter from Rich Source Tavern. That’s hardly worth mentioning. The second time was at Rich Source Tavern where you seemed to be tracking me, and listening to my conversation. These were clear sightings. The third time…I was helping a vendor sell umbrellas. It’s surprising that Boss Jin had an interest in watching the incident and even gave orders…”
