Su Xiyan lived in a high-end apartment with strict security measures. Moreover, her home was equipped with electronic locks, and the fingerprint lock required verification of the correct fingerprint to open. So Chen Shuo's first reaction was to immediately dismiss the idea that someone had been to the house.
He turned to Su Xiyan inside the bedroom and asked, "Did you eat an apple last night?"
Su Xiyan's voice came from the room, "Yes, I had one."
It was possible that Su Xiyan had taken the apple and forgotten to put it back in the refrigerator.
Chen Shuo rubbed his waist and said, "My back was killing me last night."
"Su Xiyan, how much do you weigh exactly? How did you manage to strain my back?"
Su Xiyan didn't answer, but the next second, a pillow flew out of the room.
Chen Shuo quickly caught the pillow and threw it back into the room, saying, "Su Xiyan, is this considered attempted spousal murder?"
Inside the room, Su Xiyan remained silent, but Chen Shuo felt a strong murderous intent.
This woman was too ruthless, and he couldn't afford to provoke her.
What would be a good breakfast option this morning?
There were still plenty of wontons left from last night's cooking for Su Xiyan. Making a clear broth wonton soup would be nice.
Chen Shuo walked towards the refrigerator and suddenly jumped up.
Because he saw a person sitting on the sofa out of nowhere.
This person seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
He had no idea when the person had already been sitting there.
It was as if the person had merged with the surroundings and the air, even their presence was concealed, so Chen Shuo didn't notice at all.
The silhouette of this person looked familiar!
Using the home's smart devices, Chen Shuo opened the electric curtains in the living room.
Sunlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
It was then that Chen Shuo realized that the person who had come in was actually the weird uncle he had encountered at the supermarket yesterday?!
And there were fresh apples on the table, each one picked by Chen Shuo himself.
Could it be...?
Chen Shuo never imagined such a clichéd thing would happen to him.
In that case, this uncle's daughter should be Su Xiyan...
Chen Shuo wished he could sew his own mouth shut!
Yesterday at the supermarket, he had even given the uncle some terrible advice on how to "punish" his future son-in-law, just to "establish dominance."
Was he in deep trouble now?
Su Xiyan had also changed her clothes and came out of the room, accidentally bumping into the stunned Chen Shuo.
"Chen Shuo, why are you standing still? Have you seen a ghost?"
Chen Shuo instinctively nodded, "Yes..."
But then quickly realized and shook his head, "Ah... no, not at all."
Su Xiyan said, "You must be delirious from exhaustion last night."
Just as she finished speaking, Su Xiyan also noticed her own father, Su Yuanying, sitting on the sofa.
She almost couldn't stand still, "Um... Dad, why are you here?"
"You didn't even give a heads-up before coming. I could have prepared..."
Su Yuanying looked at Chen Shuo and his daughter Su Xiyan coming out of the same room, and understood the situation, his face darkening, "Prepare for what?"
"Ready to temporarily sleep in separate rooms? Ready to hide the obvious?"
Chen Shuo: "..."
Su Xiyan: "..."
Well, this is really hard to explain! Last night, the two of them did sleep in the same room, but nothing happened.
Interestingly enough, Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan's recent conversation was filled with suggestive words, such as:
[My waist was so sore last night],
[You made my waist ache!],
[Murdering one's own husband],
...
Su Yuanying looked meaningfully at Chen Shuo, his sharp eyes gleaming: "This young man is not bad! He knows how to speak and come up with ideas."
Chen Shuo: "..."
"Uncle Su, um... it's all a misunderstanding. I really didn't know that your daughter is Su Xiyan!"
"If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have made things up."
"Uncle Su, please pretend I didn't say anything!"
Su Yuanying felt that this young man in front of him was quite sincere, and he also had a charming appearance, looking energetic and sunny. Of course, he had his flaws too, such as being gossipy and enjoying gossip.
And now, gossip had found its way to him, and he was caught up in it.
Regardless of how strong Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo usually were, in this moment, facing Su Yuanying, they were like guilty elementary school students, standing at attention and waiting for reprimand.
Fortunately, Su Yuanying wasn't an old-fashioned person.
At the supermarket yesterday, Su Yuanying even thought that if his daughter's boyfriend was this young man in front of him, he would feel much more relieved.
Wasn't this wish fulfilled now?
At this moment, Su Yuanying couldn't help but feel a little pleased.
However, he concealed this small joy and maintained a stern fatherly posture on the surface.
This young man, Chen Shuo, was still a bit too impulsive and needed to be properly restrained.
Moreover, all the information in Su City pointed to Chen Shuo...
Su Yuanying was well aware of this.
If Su Xiyan was a snow fox with both looks and intelligence,
Then Su Yuanying was an ancient fox with immeasurable cultivation.
He remained calm and casual as he sat on the sofa, but his aura was so strong that it felt suffocating to others.
Suddenly, the living room became very quiet.
The most dreaded thing was the sudden silence in the air...
Su Xiyan broke the awkwardness: "Dad, haven't you had breakfast yet? Chen Shuo and I will prepare breakfast for you. Just sit here for a while!"
After saying that, Su Xiyan tugged at Chen Shuo's sleeve, and the two of them went into the kitchen.
All the ingredients were still in the refrigerator. Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan stood in the empty kitchen, their minds not focused on breakfast at all.
Chen Shuo lowered his voice, "Your dad came suddenly, and you didn't even tell me?"
Su Xiyan also felt helpless, "I only knew he would come back to Su City recently. Who knew he would come today?"
"He bought this house for me, and he has the fingerprint lock code for the house. Isn't it normal?"
Chen Shuo: "What should we do now? It's really embarrassing!"
Su Xiyan: "Don't worry, he won't eat you."
When Su Xiyan said this, she clearly lacked confidence.
Even so, Su Xiyan was hesitant to meet Chen Shuo's gaze directly.
Chen Shuo noticed her small movements and subtle expressions, and he held onto Su Xiyan's hand tightly. "What kind of person is your father, after all?"
Su Xiyan evaded his gaze. "Just... an ordinary businessman."
Despite the circumstances, Su Xiyan still hoped to keep things hidden for as long as possible, even though she knew it might not be possible anymore.
Chen Shuo pondered for a moment. "As long as he's not a Demon Hunter, it's fine."
"He probably isn't a Demon Hunter because when I'm close to him, my vampire senses don't detect any signs of him being one."
In her heart, Su Xiyan thought, "Of course you wouldn't detect anything because he's on the verge of reaching the legendary realm."

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
