The gigolo kept by the matriarch turned out to be the heir to a wealthy family.

Chapter 109 Born to be my aunt's aesthetic

Su Feng's suspicions were confirmed the very next second.

"This...this is top-quality icy jadeite!" the old man exclaimed excitedly.

"Moreover, the patterns and characters on this safety buckle haven't damaged the jade itself in the slightest! Whose carving skills are so exquisite that they have created such a rare and unique piece!"

"Miss, may I ask where you got this safety amulet?" the old man asked respectfully as he stepped forward, his steps trembling.

So many years have passed, how could Yun Yao remember where this peace buckle came from? Thinking it was pretty, she gave it to the little guy as a greeting gift.

“Elder Fu, this safety amulet was given to Yun Yao by a Buddhist master. We cannot disclose the master’s Dharma name.” Su Yuchen suddenly spoke up.

Yun Yao couldn't help but look up at Su Yuchen. Where did he learn his ability to lie through his teeth?

Upon hearing this, Master Fu did not press the matter further. After returning the safety buckle to Yun Zichen, he still praised it highly.

Now, everyone stopped criticizing Yun Yao for giving the Su family's great-grandson a second-hand gift.

What a joke! How could something that even Master Fu of Zhenbaozhai treasures so much be anything less than precious? Just hearing the words "icy jadeite" tells you that this safety buckle is incredibly valuable.

Unexpectedly, this illegitimate daughter of the Yun family is not without merit; she is surprisingly generous!

However, some people gossiped behind her back, saying that this was Yun Yao's way of winning people's hearts. She was trying to please the Su family members by risking her own life.

Regardless of what they thought, Yun Yao didn't care. What she cared about more now was Su Yuchen, whose behavior had been extremely abnormal all night.

"You used me?" Yun Yao asked coldly.

Su Yuchen slowly picked up the wine glass from the waiter's tray and gently swirled it.

"It was just a matter of mutual exploitation."

Half an hour ago, Yun Yao thought Su Yuchen had finally changed his ways, but now it seems that he had ulterior motives tonight!

He doesn't get along with that old lady Bu Lanying, so he drags himself into this mess to annoy people. Ha, what a brilliant plan!

"Su Yuchen, you've gone so far as to scheme against your great-aunt. Have you considered the consequences?" Yun Yao exuded a fierce aura.

Su Yuchen seemed not to have heard what she said at all. He took a sip of wine, crossed his long legs, and adopted an aloof and noble demeanor.

Yun Yao is right. One reason she was so unrestrained tonight was to annoy Bu Lanying, but that wasn't the whole reason.

Now that his marriage to Yun Yao is no longer a secret, he has a duty to protect his nominal wife, at least until the divorce.

Today, in a way, is a demonstration; he is telling everyone.

Yun Yao is his wife.

However, he did not intend to explain these things to Yun Yao. If she wanted to misunderstand, then so be it.

Yun Yao was furious the moment she saw Su Yuchen's icy face, and downed the glass of red wine that the waiter handed her in one gulp.

Su Yuchen didn't look at her; he kept raising his glass in return.

Those who could attend Bu Lanying's birthday banquet were naturally on good terms with the Su family, and many of them had business dealings with Yanshi International. When they greeted Su Yuchen, Su Yuchen would definitely return the greeting.

While Yun Yao was feeling bored, she caught a glimpse of a fluffy little head hiding behind the sofa.

Yun Yao is a sucker for good looks; she likes anyone who is good-looking, regardless of age or gender.

Taking advantage of the little head's inattention, she quietly moved over.

Sensing the departure of those around him, Su Yuchen glanced around discreetly. Only when he saw Yun Yao heading towards that small figure did he withdraw his gaze and continue to feign politeness with the others.

As Yun Zichen looked up, she was met with a pair of stunningly beautiful eyes. Just as she was about to run away, her wrist was grabbed.

"Why are you running? Do you think I'm going to eat you?" Yun Yao looked at him with a half-smile.

No wonder people always say that nephews resemble their uncles; there's definitely some truth to it. Yun Zichen is so young yet he has such a handsome appearance, inheriting all of Su Yuchen's good looks. If we don't say they're cut from the same mold, they're at least five or six points similar.

"Auntie, my mom asked me to come and thank you," Yun Zichen said softly, looking incredibly shy.

Mom said that Uncle would be bringing Aunt over tonight. He was originally looking forward to seeing what kind of aunt his uncle would choose for him with his unique taste. But to his surprise, Aunt was so beautiful!

Uncle, this is the first time you've truly impressed me!

"Kid, what are you standing there for? I'm waiting for your thanks!" Yun Yao crossed her arms and looked at Yun Zichen with a smile in her eyes.

Yun Zichen snapped out of his daze, not daring to look Yun Yao in the eye, and timidly said something.

"Thank you."

Yun Yao was in a great mood and pulled Yun Zichen to sit down next to her.

“We’re all family, no need for thanks. You were raised by your aunt… no, by your maternal aunt’s aesthetic. Here, take this gift and give it to your mother to thank her for making you so beautiful.” Yun Yao flipped her wrist and took out a small, exquisitely crafted box from under the table.

Yun Zichen was stunned as Ren Yunyao handed the box to him.

"Aunt, I came to express my gratitude, not to ask for a gift." Yun Zichen looked at the exquisitely crafted box in her hand, feeling somewhat at a loss.

"It's okay, let me squeeze it, and we'll be even."

Yun Zichen: "???"

While Yun Zichen was still in a daze, Yun Yao's cool fingers landed on his slightly chubby cheeks and then pinched them.

"This is so bouncy!" Yun Yao's eyes lit up.

"Here, this is for you. You can use it to protect yourself. Let me make another one." Yun Yao placed another crystal-clear jade pendant in Yun Zichen's palm.

"Aunt, I..."

Before Yun Zichen could refuse, Yun Yao pinched his other cheek.

The texture is still very good.

"This can ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune; you'll find it useful."

Yun Yao then placed a small peach wood sword-shaped trinket in Yun Zichen's palm.

Yun Zichen was already feeling utterly hopeless. Knowing there was no way to avoid it, he simply held the gift Yun Yao had given him and sat there obediently.

Yun Yao simply used both hands to cup Yun Zichen's chubby face and pinch it.

She wouldn't normally lose her composure like this, but Yun Zichen looked so much like Su Yuchen that she felt like she was torturing Su Yuchen's expressionless, icy face.

Just as Yun Yao was enjoying the soft touch, a deep and pleasant voice sounded in her ear.

"He's just a child. Do you know how strange your behavior looks to others?"

Yun Yao snapped out of her daze and glanced at the way the people around her were looking at her.

Yun Yao: "..." Something seems a little off.

Yun Yao then released Yun Zichen's face, casually withdrawing her hand and placing it on her lower abdomen, displaying an elegant and dignified demeanor.

Su Yuchen: "..."

Yun Zichen: "..."

"Little brat, don't sit next to me anymore, go find your mother." Yun Yao said this through gritted teeth.

Yun Zichen obediently got up and was about to put down the gift Yun Yao had given him.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Take it away! What I give away is like water spilled on the ground, get out of here!" Yun Yao glared at Yun Zichen, pretending to be stern.

Yun Zichen glanced at Yun Yao and saw the unwavering determination in her eyes, so he had no choice but to take the boxes of all sizes away.

Upon seeing this scene, Su Yuchen's heart stirred slightly...
