Chen Shuo, drunk as a skunk, couldn't care less about anything around him.
Su Xiyan's fragrant, soft, and warm body posed a deadly temptation to him at every turn.
The four bridesmaids standing at the door were rendered speechless in disbelief.
"This sight, and we get to see it for free?"
"Should we leave now? Or shall we keep standing here?"
The situation seemed to be spiraling out of control...
The four bridesmaids exchanged stupefied looks.
All Chen Shuo wanted at that moment was to be close to Su Xiyan.
Su Xiyan blushed with embarrassment and annoyance as she struggled to get up from the bed. Her hair was all messed up by Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo reached out to touch Su Xiyan again,
But she picked up a blanket from the side and wrapped him up in it.
Chen Shuo, looking like a rolled up chicken wrap, only had his head sticking out of the blanket.
"I'll take a nap first. Come back earlier, and I'll be waiting for you in the room~~"
After saying this, Chen Shuo blew a kiss in the air at Su Xiyan.
Su Xiyan's cheeks turned even redder as she picked up a pillow and threw it at Chen Shuo's head: "Go to sleep!!!"
"We'll talk after you've sobered up!!!"
Su Xiyan had already reached the door to leave. Just as she was closing the door behind her, Chen Shuo's teasing voice echoed from inside the room: “I'll be waiting for you in the room~~”
Su Xiyan showed an annoyed expression while the four bridesmaids looked shocked.
Su Xiyan attempted to explain, “This is his first time drinking. He's not usually like this when sober...”
The bridesmaids shared awkward smiles. “Ah, we see... we understand...”
Su Xiyan could not wait to escape from that room, not even for another second! She exited the guest room as quickly as she could.
After discussing with the bridesmaids and the bride Sheng Xueyao about the pranks they would play on the groomsmen during the wedding ceremony the next day, it was already evening.
As Su Xiyan looked at the crimson sunset outside her window, she wondered if Chen Shuo had woken up from his nap.
She had always thought he could handle his alcohol well.
Who would have thought that he too had his drunken hijinks?
It was a relief that he only acted drunk around her.
As soon as she returned to her room, Su Xiyan hopped into the shower.
The luxurious bathtub at the hotel was exquisite. The aromatherapy bubble bath, filled to the brim, made Su Xiyan feel as if she was floating in a sea of flowers.
Her every pore was soaked in the scent of the bath oils.
Indeed, a beauty through and through, perfect even in the smallest detail.
As she soaked in the bath, Su Xiyan couldn't help but recall Chen Shuo's state when he was drunk.
It was rather... nostalgic.
There were so many words he had said that he'd never utter sober.
For example, he would never ask her to wait for him in the room on any regular day.
Wait for him? For what?
What was going to happen tonight?
Su Xiyan thought to herself, if Chen Shuo dared to cross any boundaries with her, she would let him have it!!
Although she thought as such, her body was faithful; she had made sure to clean and perfume herself thoroughly.
After changing into a matching set of intimate clothes, Su Xiyan purposely chose an outfit that best accentuated her figure, complemented by a loose and slightly androgynous khaki long coat.
She had heard other girls gossiping that the more contrast there was, the more guys would like it!
Su Xiyan didn't have much experience, but if other girls thought that, it should... not be wrong, right?
Her damp hair was half-dried, still carrying a lingering, heart-stirring scent.
Su Xiyan stood in front of the mirror, looking at her completely natural, but absolutely beautiful face, uncertain of what Chen Shuo's reaction would be.
Would he continue what he hadn't managed to do that afternoon?
The more she thought about it, the redder Su Xiyan's cheeks became.
Even her earlobes had turned a fragile pink.
Under the natural light, her earlobes were as translucent as pink jadeite.
The long coat was loose and gender-neutral, fit for both men and women. But underneath the coat, she wore a figure-hugging knitted slip-on dress.
The dress was somewhat short, just enough to cover her rounded curves.
Further down were her slender and fair long legs.
If the dress was any shorter, it would be slightly awkward. If it was longer, it would cover her beautiful legs.
The khaki coat was a bit long, its hem reaching a little above the knees.
Su Xiyan fastened the buttons of the khaki coat and tightened the belt.
Her slender waist appeared even more delicate.
Who would have thought that underneath such a gender-neutral style long coat, one would be wearing an intimate slip-on dress that made one blush?
Chen Shuo didn't really like girls who wore heavy makeup. Su Xiyan remembered every word Chen Shuo had casually criticized about some girls' strong makeup during their casual chats.
Even though she voiced her disdain, she was intentionally or unintentionally catering to Chen Shuo's preferences.
After changing her clothes, Su Xiyan deliberately sprayed the perfume that Chen Shuo liked the most.
It was a light, fresh scent that Chen Shuo had once said smelled good.
Hence, the perfume that Chen Shuo had complimented was repurchased obsessively by Su Xiyan.
Even when attending a wedding or going out, what she brought along was the perfume that Chen Shuo had praised.
Chen Shuo was resting in the room next door. He said he would wait for her in his room.
Suppressing her pounding heartbeat, Su Xiyan pretended to be very calm and came to Chen Shuo's door.
Take a deep breath~~
Su Xiyan raised her hand and knocked on Chen Shuo's door.
Worried that Chen Shuo didn't hear, Su Xiyan pressed the doorbell.
Inside the room, the clicking sound of the door lock opening was heard.
Chen Shuo opened the door a crack and, seeing that it was Su Xiyan, his face seemed a bit flustered.
Su Xiyan glanced at Chen Shuo. It seemed like he had sobered up, back to his usual self.
"Did you wake up?"
Chen Shuo nodded, "Ah! Why are you here?"
Su Xiyan widened her eyes, "Didn't you ask me to come?"
Chen Shuo glanced inside the room, then at Su Xiyan, the panic in his eyes becoming more difficult to conceal, "I..."
Su Xiyan interrupted Chen Shuo's words: "Didn't you say you would wait for me in the room?"
"Do you not remember what you said yourself?"
"Don't think that if you don't remember what you said after a few drinks, you can play dumb!"
Chen Shuo coughed awkwardly, "cough cough~~cough cough cough~~"
Finally, Su Xiyan noticed the panic in Chen Shuo’s eyes and her guard was instantly up: "Chen Shuo, what are you sneaking around for with those shifty eyes?"
"There wouldn't be any secrets hidden in the room, would there?"
Finishing her words, Su Xiyan pushed the door open and quickly walked into Chen Shuo's room.
When she recognized the person seated on the room's couch, she was so shocked she could have turned to stone.
Standing in place, her beautiful face wore an utterly embarrassed smile.
"Dad! What are you doing here?"
Su Yuanying sat on Chen Shuo's couch, his posture casual but commanding.
Every word Su Xiyan had just spoken at the door, Su Yuanying had heard clearly.

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.”

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
