The father-in-law looks at the son-in-law, the more I look, the more I like it

Su Yuanying didn't stay long at Su Xiyan's house. He seemed to be a busy person with many things to attend to.

Even while having breakfast, his phone kept ringing non-stop.

"I didn't come for any other reason, mainly because I haven't seen my precious daughter in a long time, so I came to check on her."

"Also, I brought you some apples. My daughter has always loved eating apples since she was little."

Su Yuanying pointed to the fresh and tender apples on the table, looking at his daughter with an unmistakable indulgence in his eyes.

Su Xiyan spoke in a light tone, saying something heart-wrenching:

"To be honest, I didn't really like eating apples when I was little. I just ate them because apples were easy to buy and didn't require you to spend too much time."

"But as I kept eating, I got used to the taste."

Upon hearing these words, Su Yuanying's expression froze.

He wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.

The little girl from back then had grown up to become a young woman who made him proud.

But he had overlooked her most precious childhood.

Chen Shuo was also somewhat surprised. He had always thought that apples, being such a common fruit, had nothing to do with Su Xiyan, the goddess of aloofness. It's not that apples were bad, but they just didn't seem to match.

So, there was another side to this?

"From now on, I'll take you to eat whatever you want. If you like it, it's settled." Chen Shuo said these words as he affectionately reached out to touch Su Xiyan's head.

Su Xiyan wasn't quite accustomed to such doting. She had always been the cherished pearl in someone's palm, but no one had ever been able to truly enter her heart like Chen Shuo.

Su Yuanying's phone kept ringing non-stop, and Su Xiyan seemed to have already adapted to her dad's state.

Looking at the constantly flashing phone with clear eyes, she said calmly, "Go and attend to your business! Chen Shuo and I are also going to school."

Her dad, Su Yuanying, was only her father, but he was the backbone of many others.

The company, monster hunters, the family—there were too many things that required Su Yuanying to take charge.

Perhaps not wanting to make things difficult for her dad, Su Xiyan grabbed her coat and walked towards the door.

Chen Shuo stood in place, feeling a bit awkward. "You go ahead, I... I'll clean up the dishes and then go to school. There are no classes today, just a basketball club activity, so I can go a little later."

Su Xiyan didn't say anything and her figure disappeared at the front door.

Inside the house, only Chen Shuo and Su Yuanying remained.

Su Yuanying no longer saw Chen Shuo as an outsider and sighed, "From childhood to adulthood, I always let her see my hurried figure rushing to work."

"Unexpectedly, now she's the one I see leaving."

Chen Shuo thought to himself, this must be how fortunes change?

Fortunately, he didn't blurt out those words.

Su Xiyan's dad seemed quite formidable, described in four words—profound and unfathomable!

Before figuring out his true strength, it would be better to be a bit more reserved.

Having been around a monster hunter like Su Xiyan for a long time, Chen Shuo had learned a thing or two about survival.

After Su Xiyan left, Chen Shuo planned to tidy up the dishes and then make a swift exit.

Su Yuanying looked at his gaze and felt that something was a bit off.

When Chen Shuo was washing dishes, he thought that Su Yuanying had left. Unexpectedly, Su Yuanying's voice sounded from behind, "Chen Shuo, right? Shouldn't you explain your background to me?"

Chen Shuo's hand paused for a moment while washing the dishes. "Background...??" he asked.

Su Yuanying chuckled, "Sorry, it slipped out due to work reasons."

"What I mean is, tell me about your family. After all, you and our Xiyan have already developed to this extent, right?"

Chen Shuo's tense nerves relaxed a bit. But he still felt a bit nervous. Su Yuanying's words just now were definitely not a slip of the tongue; he intentionally intimidated Chen Shuo.

To avoid arousing Su Yuanying's suspicion, Chen Shuo remained calm on the surface, continued washing dishes, and answered, "Xiyan visited my home some time ago and met my mother. But I do regret bringing Xiyan home."

Su Yuanying's ears perked up, and his fist clenched. If Chen Shuo said anything that belittled his precious daughter, he would show Chen Shuo what a future father-in-law's iron fist was like. "Regret? Why?" he asked.

Although Chen Shuo's words were full of complaints, his expression was extremely doting. "Because ever since my mom met Xiyan, it's like she gained another daughter. As for her biological son, she seems to have forgotten about me."

"Look, these specialties were all sent by my mom from her workplace. She said they're good for girls' health."

Following Chen Shuo's gaze, there were indeed several unopened packages on the kitchen shelf.

With that said, Su Yuanying's clenched fist relaxed.

The next words spoken by Chen Shuo made Su Yuanying look at him with newfound respect.

Chen Shuo sorted the washed dishes and utensils, placing them in the sterilizer. His tone was casual, as if chatting with family. "Actually, I'm not an ordinary college student."

Su Yuanying raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

Chen Shuo smiled helplessly, "I was bitten by a vampire and now I'm a vampire myself."

"Quite unexpected, isn't it?"

This answer wasn't too surprising for Su Yuanying either. "I appreciate your honesty."

"Xiyan should have sealed your vampire aura, right?"

Chen Shuo nodded, "Uncle Su, didn't Xiyan tell you about these things?"

Su Yuanying chuckled and patted Chen Shuo's shoulder, "It's the same even if you tell me."

"So what if you're a vampire? I may be a demon hunter, but when it comes to catching vampires, it's purely my personal preference. You're the person my daughter has chosen, and it doesn't matter if you're a vampire or not."

Whether he was a vampire or not, his daughter was a demon hunter, and their family had a natural suppression of vampires.

In the future, was he still afraid that this man would bully his daughter?

Thinking of this, Su Yuanying, the doting father, couldn't help but let out a villainous laugh, the kind that only antagonists had.

Chen Shuo: ...

Hey, hey, hey, Uncle, can you at least restrain yourself a bit?

However, it was in this way that Chen Shuo found the sincere and genuine Uncle Su Yuanying more endearing.

When men talk to each other, they are candid, without any pretenses, straightforward.

Su Yuanying's phone kept ringing, but he still wanted to chat more with the young man in front of him.

In Chen Shuo, he seemed to see his own youthful self.

Righteous, sunny, positive, and full of vitality!

Unfortunately, his schedule was too hectic. After bidding farewell to Chen Shuo, Su Yuanying exchanged contact information and left Haiyi Apartments.

After Su Yuanying left, Chen Shuo realized that he had put the dishes and chopsticks in the sterilizer, but forgot to turn it on.

Su Yuanying's presence was indeed quite formidable! It wasn't the kind of strength that Su Xiyan possessed, which could be seen at a glance. Instead, it was hidden in every small detail and gesture, catching one off guard!
