571: A sad story

“My wife, well…”

Speaking of this, Su Xuan’s expression immediately showed a hint of sadness, as if it was a sorrowful matter.

“Brother Su… I’m sorry… I…”

Seeing Su Xuan like this, Night Luo immediately realized that she seemed to have said something wrong and quickly apologized.

“It’s alright, Miss Ye, this matter isn’t some unspeakable secret!”

Su Xuan let out a bitter laugh.

“The mother of my child died in childbirth. When the child was born, she bled too much and passed away…”

“For all these years, I’ve raised Xiao Nianer alone…”

“Even now, I still miss her, because the cooking skills I have now were all taught to me by her!”

“Seeing you all happy eating what I’ve made, I truly feel as if she’s still by my side!”

Su Xuan was deeply emotional, even shedding a few hot tears. In reality, he was trying to suppress his laughter, so he squeezed them out.

Seeing Su Xuan in such a state, Night Luo was instantly filled with shame. At this moment, she wished she could slap herself twice. Why was her mouth so cheap, insisting on bringing up someone else’s sorrowful past!

I truly deserve to die!

Night Luo felt incredibly guilty in her heart.

“Ding! Detected that the Heavenly Mandate Female Lead Night Luo feels guilty. Awarding 500,000 Villain Points!”

“Hmm? This works too?”

Su Xuan was a bit surprised. He didn’t expect his expression to actually earn him a reward from the System…

No, Evil Soul Heaven’s Luck value hadn’t decreased, which meant it was possible the System was rating his acting!

Damn it, was he being played for a fool by the System?

“Host, don’t be too excessive! This System is giving you Villain Points, and you’re still scolding this System!”

“Cough cough, I’m sorry, System, I didn’t mean it!”

Su Xuan smiled.

“I’m sorry, Brother Su, I’m truly sorry, I didn’t know things would turn out this way…”

Night Luo had lived for so many years and hadn’t felt guilty in a long time. This was the first time!

On the other side, A-Tian, after learning about it, also took out a handkerchief for Su Xuan.

“Big Brother, wipe your tears…”

A-Tian said softly.

“Oh, you little brat, you’re quite polite, aren’t you? But no matter how polite you are, you’re still going to die!”

Su Xuan looked at A-Tian’s sensible appearance, and his resolve to kill him grew stronger.

This protagonist had evolved; he knew how to use such methods to gain his favor!

He deserved to be killed!

“Thank you, but it’s really alright. So many years have passed, and I’ve come to terms with it!”

Su Xuan said with a smile.

Xiao Nianer, standing by, almost spat out her food when she heard Su Xuan’s words, but she managed to hold it in.

What was he talking about? When did her mother die? And in childbirth while giving birth to her?

Also, when did he raise her? Had it been more than two months since they met and this relationship formed? Big Brother!

However, despite her internal complaints, Xiao Nianer was still impressed by Su Xuan’s acting.

She herself believed Su Xuan’s performance just now, let alone the two people in front of her who looked somewhat “cute.”

“Brother Su, please accept my condolences! Life’s greatest matters are nothing more than life and death. As long as one is still alive, that’s what matters!”

Night Luo didn’t know how to comfort people, so she could only repeat something she had learned from reading books in the past.

“Miss Ye, do you know? When I see you, it’s as if I see my former wife!”

“You and she… are truly very similar. Every time I see you, it’s as if I see her still by my side!”

“That’s why I’ve been a bit more enthusiastic towards you. I know, deep down, you’re actually very annoyed with me, aren’t you?”

Su Xuan disguised himself as a deeply affectionate man. No woman could resist a grown man acting like this in front of her.

If there was one, then pretend I didn’t say anything.

“So that’s how it is. No wonder he’s always so enthusiastic towards me. I even thought…”

Night Luo had thought Su Xuan was interested in her, but she didn’t expect it was because she looked so much like his former wife!

This made Night Luo a little jealous. She had thought Su Xuan, like others, was smitten with her appearance.

But she didn’t expect Su Xuan to be such a deeply affectionate man; he loved his wife so much.

At the same time, she also felt a bit unconvinced. Su Xuan hadn’t taken a liking to her. Could it be that her charm was lacking?

She was a little jealous of Su Xuan’s wife. Why had she never met such a man?

Or rather, why had she never encountered such feelings in her three hundred-plus years of life?

If she had encountered it once, perhaps things like blood sacrifices wouldn’t have happened!

In short, amidst a mix of sympathy, jealousy, and various other emotions, Night Luo’s feelings towards Su Xuan also underwent a tiny change.

Su Xuan glanced at Night Luo’s favorability, feeling somewhat satisfied.

He knew this trick of his would be effective. As expected, under his vivid acting, Night Luo’s favorability had already reached 15.

Soon, he estimated he would be able to get the first tier reward.

“This Night Luo is really difficult to win over!”

Su Xuan thought to himself.

Mainly, he couldn’t directly force anything, after all, Night Luo’s strength was there.

Moreover, if he were to awaken Evil Soul Heaven’s second personality, he would be finished.

Therefore, he had to proceed cautiously, making Night Luo fall completely into his trap while also making A-Tian accept him.

A-Tian and Night Luo had spent little time together so far, and that kind of filial piety turning into something else hadn’t yet developed.

So, making him accept it was still quite simple.

“Brother Su, you’re joking. How could I possibly be annoyed with you? A man like you is truly rare in this world!”

Night Luo developed a bit more admiration for Su Xuan. How could one not like such a devoted man?

“I’ve noticed today that your patience with me has reached its limit. I wonder if I can still treat you as I did before in the future…”

“If not, then I…”

At this point, Su Xuan showed a sorrowful expression.

Although Night Luo admired Su Xuan, she was genuinely a bit annoyed with this man.

After all, Su Xuan had been like a fly buzzing around her these past few days.

However, after hearing Su Xuan’s story, she suddenly felt that her attitude was a bit too much.

Su Xuan was just treating her as his former wife, which was why he acted this way towards her.

If she were to forcefully reject him, Su Xuan would surely be very sad, wouldn’t he?

“Sister…”

A-Tian tugged at Night Luo’s sleeve. Clearly, he also felt sympathy for Su Xuan.

Of course, he was mainly bought over by the things Su Xuan made. If Night Luo refused, wouldn’t he miss out on such delicious food?
