Su Yuanying smiled and said, "You really can't hide anything from you."
The Su Old Lady frowned, "Since you already know he's a vampire and still allow Xi Yan to be with him, it means this young man's character has gained your approval. I won't delve too deeply into his vampire identity."
"Putting aside the fact that he's a vampire, I feel this young man is still too young, lacking some stability, and a bit too flashy."
Su Meiyu was surprised, "Mom! Didn't you give him a red envelope? Doesn't that mean you've accepted him too?"
The Su Old Lady's smile was a mix of helplessness and indulgence, "What can we do? Our Xi Yan likes him."
Then, the Su Old Lady turned her gaze towards her son, Su Yuanying, "You must keep a close eye on Chen Shuo!"
Su Yuanying replied, "Of course!"
It seemed that the Su Old Lady wasn't fully convinced about Chen Shuo yet.
Su Yuanying understood that Chen Shuo was a vampire who looked very young. It would be difficult to gain everyone's heartfelt approval just based on one drinking session.
It looked like some upcoming matters should be left for Chen Shuo to handle.
At this moment, in the hotel elevator, Su Xiyan felt that Chen Shuo was really heavy!
He was like a mountain pressing on her shoulder.
"If you can't drink, don't force yourself. Why try to act tough?" Su Xiyan frowned.
Chen Shuo's breath carried the scent of white wine.
"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't drink at all!"
After hearing Chen Shuo say this, Su Xiyan felt that the Chen Shuo she was supporting on her shoulder didn't seem so heavy anymore.
Su Xiyan thought: Chen Shuo was right, he was indeed drinking recklessly to gain the Su Family's approval and quickly integrate into their circle.
In the corridor, Chen Shuo felt a bit dizzy.
Damn! He had underestimated the alcohol content of the white wine!
Su Xiyan supported Chen Shuo to the room and closed the door behind them.
The next second, Su Xiyan felt a strong force pinning her against the door.
Chen Shuo suddenly stood steady, looking at Su Xiyan up close. The strong yet fragrant aroma of high-end white wine, mixed with Chen Shuo's warm breath, wafted onto Su Xiyan's face.
She instinctively wanted to step back, but her back was already against the door, with nowhere to retreat.
Chen Shuo squinted, trying to see the girl in front of him clearly.
The effects of alcohol were kicking in, blurring his vision, so Chen Shuo simply leaned in closer to look.
Su Xiyan's small hands had nowhere to rest, hanging at her sides clenched into fists. She felt her face flush and her heart race, not daring to look up at Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo leaned closer to Su Xiyan, his vision gradually clearing, the beautiful and cold face of the girl before him becoming more distinct.
"Who is this beautiful girl?" Chen Shuo grinned, "Oh, it's my girlfriend!"
Su Xiyan was dumbfounded: "..."
Was he talking nonsense now? Where had all that impressive drinking prowess from earlier gone?
Chen Shuo lowered his head, resting his chin on Su Xiyan's shoulder.
His warm breath fell on Su Xiyan's fair and delicate swan-like neck. In this intimate contact, his nose was filled with the sweet scent of Su Xiyan's body.
Su Xiyan leaned against the door, her body trapped in the small space between Chen Shuo and the door. She didn't dare move.
"Chen Shuo?"
"Are you okay?"
"Do you want to lie down for a while?"
After a few seconds, Chen Shuo finally replied to Su Xiyan, "The bed isn't as comfortable as your embrace."
The central air conditioning vent above blew warm air, ruffling Chen Shuo's hair. The bangs on his forehead fluttered restlessly, and the warm air also made Chen Shuo slightly more sober.
He raised his head, looking hazily at the person in front of him. He reached out, cupping Su Xiyan's delicate face, his gaze intense.
Su Xiyan's heart skipped a beat!
Chen Shuo's gaze was too fervent! Like the sun in July or August, it was almost unbearable.
His eyes traced from Su Xiyan's forehead downwards, finally resting on her rosy lips.
Chen Shuo held Su Xiyan's face, his hands applying slight pressure, giving her no chance to escape. He leaned in and kissed those lips he had been longing for day and night.
Su Xiyan felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She closed her eyes, feeling Chen Shuo's rhythm.
Her small hands lightly embraced Chen Shuo's waist, her heart relaxing as her body softly fell into Chen Shuo's arms.
Knowing that Su Xiyan was out of breath, Chen Shuo released her.
Chen Shuo's forehead touched Su Xiyan's, his voice slightly hoarse with restrained desire, "Su Xiyan, will you help me sober up?"
Su Xiyan: "Hmm?"
Suddenly, Su Xiyan felt her heart almost stop beating!
What did Chen Shuo mean?
Could this be the legendary drunken...
Chen Shuo's cheeks were flushed red, the redness spreading down to his neck. His eyes were slightly unfocused, looking drunk yet not quite, incredibly alluring.
Goodness! How could a little puppy be so seductive when drunk?
Who could resist this?
Su Xiyan held Chen Shuo, trying her best to maintain his balance.
Chen Shuo, with hazy eyes, said, "Shall we..."
Su Xiyan knew what he was about to say, and despite her nervousness, she nodded.
At this moment, a knock on the door quickly brought Su Xiyan back to her senses from her emotional turmoil.
She hurriedly straightened Chen Shuo's posture, adjusted her own hair, and then opened the door.
At the door stood four young and beautiful ladies, each quite attractive.
In their early twenties, they would be eye-catching with just a bit of styling.
These four girls were the bridesmaids for Sheng Xueyao's wedding tomorrow. Including Su Xiyan, there were five bridesmaids in total.
Two of the bridesmaids were carrying large bags, bulging with unknown contents.
"Xueyao said you were staying in this room. Did we disturb you?" One of the bridesmaids glanced at the drunk Chen Shuo beside Su Xiyan.
Su Xiyan thought to herself: How could you not have disturbed us?! You couldn't have disturbed us more!!
But outwardly, she remained calm and said, "No."
"Did you need something from me?"
The bridesmaids replied, "Well, we wanted to discuss how to tease the groomsmen tomorrow during the bride pick-up. We can't let the groom take away our beautiful bride too easily."
It seemed to be a custom to have small games or challenges during the bride pick-up to tease the groom and groomsmen. There were even interactions between the groomsmen and bridesmaids.
Apparently, some of these interactions could be quite embarrassing.
This was important business, and Su Xiyan wouldn't let her aloof personality affect her cousin Sheng Xueyao's wedding.
Chen Shuo also seemed to need a good rest.
So, Su Xiyan supported Chen Shuo, laying him on the bed and covering him with a blanket.
Just as she was about to leave, Chen Shuo suddenly grabbed Su Xiyan's hand, pulling her into the bed with him.
Su Xiyan: "!!!"
There were still four bridesmaids present!! Eight eyes were watching!!
his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall? Cashback: +$2,880】 【Dropped $14,396 on in-game skins? Special reward unlocked: A brand-new Porsche Panamera!】 Luxury cars, penthouses, corporate shares, financial empires… College life was all about living freely and doing whatever he pleased! … When the adorably naive academic genius faced family medical bills and financial struggles, Su Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Your future is on me." "Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
