In response to Chen Shuo's sudden question, Su Xiyan seemed to be prepared.
Her clear eyes gazed at Chen Shuo, wanting to speak yet hesitated. In the end, she did not answer directly.
"Meeting the parents is the main thing, everything else is trivial."
"Let's not talk about it. Let's go back to the restaurant, I guess your mom and Auntie Zhang have already ordered dishes and are waiting for us to eat."
After saying that, Su Xiyan quickened her pace.
Chen Shuo followed behind carrying two large bottles of drinks, looking at Su Xiyan's tall and slender back. She probably didn't want to answer his question.
Since she didn't want to answer, there was no need to keep asking.
If they had to ask before answering anything between them, then there would be no need to continue either. After the private kitchen incident, Chen Shuo clearly knew the kind of interaction that should exist between the two of them.
She was not an ignorant little girl. She handled herself very well.
So when she wanted to talk about it, she naturally would.
Taking a step back, Chen Shuo had also kept a little secret from Su Xiyan!
For example, Su Xiyan still thought Chen Shuo was just the Demon King. In fact, Chen Shuo had secretly leveled up to become the Demon Saint!
The power of the Demon Saint had not had a chance to use yet. Chen Shuo thought, the power of the Demon King was already terrifying enough to make one shiver. What would the power of the Demon Saint be like? He really wanted a chance to try out the power of the Demon Saint!
While Chen Shuo was lost in thought, the two had already returned to the restaurant.
Sure enough, a table full of dishes had been served.
Chen Shuo’s mother Xu Mei called them over to eat: “Come and sit down to eat! You went to buy drinks, how could it take so long?”
“If you didn't come back soon, Auntie Zhang and I were going to go look for you. We thought you got lost!”
Su Xiyan put on an obedient smile, “The nearby convenience store didn't have coconut juice, so we walked a bit further.”
Auntie Zhang said, “Anything is fine!”
Su Xiyan replied, “How could we casually buy drinks when dining with elders? Coconut juice is good for the skin and more nutritious than ordinary drinks. It’s good for the health and won’t burden the digestive system.”
“I used to drink this brand of coconut juice all the time since I was little.”
Since she was little? Drank it as she grew up??
Chen Shuo understood punctuation. His gaze involuntarily turned to Su Xiyan’s peaks. He thought, if this brand didn’t ask her to advertise for them, it would really be a waste of the advertising slogan “Drank from young till mature”.
Su Xiyan seemed to sense Chen Shuo was thinking some indecent thoughts and glared fiercely at him.
It had been a while since he last sensed this murderous aura! Chen Shuo quickly withdrew his gaze.
The dining atmosphere was very pleasant.
Xu Mei would occasionally chat with Su Xiyan about some of Chen Shuo's funny stories from when he was little. Su Xiyan listened with great interest, her eyes wide and letting out clear laughter from time to time.
Chen Shuo thought, his mom was really shameless!!
All the embarrassing stories from when he was little had become laughable material that his mom fully told Su Xiyan!
How could he still hold his head high in front of Su Xiyan after this??
The atmosphere in the small restaurant was very cheerful. Everything seemed to have a beautiful beginning!
Not far from the small restaurant, in a high-end hotel, Tang Zhiyuan sat alone in the elegant booth, still holding some documents, reading while frowning.
According to the information he currently had, there was an 80 to 90 percent chance that Chen Shuo was the Demon King of Su City!
However, this Demon King seemed to not attend to his proper duties??
He never interacted with other vampires and did not participate in vampires preying on humans.
Wasn’t he a vampire? How could he survive without feeding on human blood?
The demon hunters in Su City were all quite capable, so most of the vampires in Su City were emaciated due to lack of fresh warm blood to feed on. The survival method for the vast majority of vampires was to rely on purchasing blood bags from the black market.
Chen Shuo looked ruddy and was in great spirits. He did not show any signs of malnutrition from being unable to feed on blood.
It was really strange!
After searching all the information in Su City, there was no sign of Chen Shuo interacting or gathering with other vampires.
The Demon King was this aloof? He didn't even play with his little brothers?
This point left Tang Zhiyuan very puzzled.
After thinking for a while, the cigarette in his hand had almost burned to his fingers. The exquisite dishes on the table had not been touched with chopsticks.
Tang Zhiyuan picked up his phone and dialed a number.
In Su City, Tang Zhiyuan was the boss of all the demon hunters. Usually he was used to being the top leader.
But when facing the person on the phone, Tang Zhiyuan completely lost his usual arrogance and was like an obedient primary school student listening to the teacher's teachings.
Tang Zhiyuan briefly reported the current situation he grasped to the person on the phone, then quietly waited for instructions from the other end.
“Brother Su, what do you think is the most appropriate way to handle this matter?”
The person on the phone referred to by Tang Zhiyuan as Brother Su replied: “No need to rush, wait and see.”
“As the Demon King, he has not harmed humans, and has not even interacted with other vampires. This is unusual and can’t be dealt with using conventional methods. Otherwise, you...”
The voice of Brother Su on the phone lowered a lot.
He didn't know what was said to Tang Zhiyuan, but Tang Zhiyuan kept nodding through the phone, looking very much like a little follower listening to his boss.
But the moment he hung up the phone, Tang Zhiyuan's expression immediately turned cold.
He threw the phone on the table and muttered to himself: “He really sees himself as Su City’s decision maker?”
“From the day I met him, he had the attitude of an elder brother! Calling you Brother Su, how arrogant!”
Tang Zhiyuan had already decided to do things his own way this time!
He could no longer listen to the person on the phone!
Tang Zhiyuan tapped the folders on the table with his fingers, and finally, his finger bones poked fiercely at Chen Shuo’s profile.
Whether you are the college freshman Chen Shuo, the Demon King, Su Xiyan’s boyfriend, in my eyes, as long as you are a vampire, you should be executed!!
Especially you, Chen Shuo!!
A flash of hatred yet anguish shone in Tang Zhiyuan's eyes!
After Chen Shuo accompanied his mother Xu Mei and Auntie Zhang to have lunch with Su Xiyan, the four of them drove back home together.
The home located in the old residential area was only a few dozen square meters. Here held the memories of Chen Shuo growing up, as well as countless happy times of his growth.
After returning home, Su Xiyan pretended to be very curious, pointing at the photo album on the coffee table and asked: “Auntie, what is this?”
Xu Mei: “Oh that? That's Chen Shuo’s growth album from when he was little.”
Su Xiyan looked extremely obedient: “Then... Auntie, can I take a look?”
Xu Mei: “Of course you can! Come, let's look at it together!”
Chen Shuo: “......”

"Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later."
