Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan had intended to sneak down quietly, but they didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.
It was time to deliver the rings, yet the best man and maid of honor were still atop the wedding arch?
What kind of operation was this?
Everyone in the venue looked at each other in confusion. Even the music fell silent.
Su Xiyan: Σ(⊙▽⊙"??
Chen Shuo: Oh crap!!
The most awkward moment is when the air suddenly goes quiet...
In this urgent situation, Chen Shuo came up with a plan.
He wrapped one arm around Su Xiyan's slender waist, holding her tightly against him.
With his other hand, he grabbed the rope fixed to the arch. Using the rope, they slowly slid down from the top of the wedding arch.
Su Xiyan hadn't expected Chen Shuo to pull such a move. The moment her body was lifted into the air, she was terrified! In her panic, the maid of honor's purple chiffon dress brushed against the decorative flowers, causing petals to flutter down.
The red rose petals formed a rain of flowers, creating an exceptionally beautiful scene!
Amidst this petal rain, Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan descended from above, landing steadily in the center of the stage. Then, they handed the ring box to the bride and groom.
Sheng Xueyao took the ring box, too excited to speak.
Sitting at a table in the front row, Su Yuanying noticed the beads of sweat on Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan's faces. He knew they must have just gone through a life-or-death struggle. Moreover, they had already solved the problem from an angle that others couldn't see.
This Chen Shuo kid was indeed reliable!
He hadn't misjudged him!
A satisfied smile appeared on Su Yuanying's face as he took the lead in applauding.
The stunned guests at the scene had been quite silent! Following Su Yuanying's lead, they also began to applaud in unison.
The venue erupted in enthusiastic applause.
After completing their task of delivering the rings to the bride and groom as best man and maid of honor, Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan held hands as they came down from the stage.
As they passed by Su Yuanying, he grabbed Chen Shuo's arm.
"Well done!"
These three short words were spoken with great sincerity by Su Yuanying!
Chen Shuo and Su Yuanying exchanged a glance, the unspoken understanding between men never hindered by age or generation.
"I'm starving, let's go get something to eat quickly!" Su Xiyan pulled Chen Shuo's hand, and they went to sit at the table for the best man and maid of honor.
On stage, the bride and groom were exchanging rings, everything so sacred.
Below the stage, guests clinked glasses, sharing in the joy of the wedding.
Chen Shuo thought about how he had just saved the entire wedding, as well as the guests sitting at the five tables in front, and it felt like a dream.
In the past, he had used his vampire abilities, with life and death at his command.
But today, he had faced this crisis as an ordinary human.
Even as just an ordinary person, without using his vampire or system skills, he had been able to defuse such a major crisis.
Thinking about it, Chen Shuo wanted to give himself a big thumbs up!
After the bride and groom exchanged rings, the wedding was basically coming to an end.
After the wedding, Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan were also preparing to return to their room for an early rest.
They had gotten up before dawn, been busy like tops all day, and then gone through a life-or-death situation. Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan were exhausted.
All they wanted was to lie down on a comfortable bed and have a good sleep!
Su Xiyan suddenly remembered: "That person wearing the knit cap is still tied up backstage!"
"I think I kicked him pretty hard, I wonder if he's woken up yet."
Chen Shuo waved the phone in his hand: "While we were eating, I already told Uncle Su about this matter."
"By now, that knit cap guy has probably been taken away by Uncle Su's people. Who knows, they might have already started interrogating him!"
Su Xiyan rolled her eyes at Chen Shuo: "Interrogating? How is that possible? My dad is a civilized and refined person."
"At most... he might... just put him through the Su family's traditional disciplinary methods!"
Chen Shuo: "..."
Su Xiyan realized something: "Hey? Chen Shuo? I never gave you my dad's phone number, did I?"
Chen Shuo's handsome and sunny face was full of pride: "What? Am I not allowed to have your dad's phone number?"
"Not just his phone number, I even have his WeChat and QQ number."
Su Xiyan: "???"
"Since when does my dad have a QQ account?"
"It took me a long time to convince him to register a WeChat account before."
So, Su Xiyan didn't know that Su Yuanying had a QQ account?
At this moment, Su Yuanying walked over.
Su Xiyan protested: "Dad, who's really your biological child here?"
The look in Su Yuanying's eyes as he gazed at Chen Shuo was full of admiration, and even a hint of pride. What was that all about?
If he was going to be proud, shouldn't it be of his daughter?
Seeing her dad's expression, Su Xiyan felt she should give her place to Chen Shuo and her dad. She, as the daughter, seemed superfluous after all.
Su Yuanying patted Chen Shuo's shoulder: "Old Mrs. Su, the Sheng family, and the elders from the groom's family are all waiting for you in the reception room."
"Come with me!"
The elders of the three major families were all waiting for him?
Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan exchanged a glance, not knowing what the elders wanted with them.
Since the elders had invited them, it would be impolite not to go.
Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan followed behind Su Yuanying, leaving the wedding venue and heading to the adjacent reception room.
In the spacious and luxurious reception room sat seven or eight elders.
Among them, the oldest and most senior, Old Mrs. Su, sat in the central armchair.
Beside her were the elders from the Sheng family and the groom's family.
Seeing Chen Shuo enter, everyone's eyes were full of admiration and gratitude.
Old Mrs. Su even stood up personally: "Young Chen, from now on, you are a great benefactor to our three families!"
"On behalf of the three families, I thank you!"
With that, Old Mrs. Su actually bowed slightly to Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo had never experienced such a scene before. Being well-mannered since childhood, he quickly bowed and supported Old Mrs. Su: "Grandmother, please don't do this."
Old Mrs. Su was somewhat emotional: "I already know everything that happened backstage at the wedding today!"
"Chen, our Xiyan has good judgment, she didn't misjudge you!"
"When you and Xiyan get married in the future, I will definitely host the grandest wedding in all of Su City for you!"
Chen Shuo smiled awkwardly: "Marriage is still far off! Grandmother, I'm not of marriageable age yet."
Old Mrs. Su was quite stubborn, just like an adorable old child:
"I don't care! Anyway, you should marry our Xiyan as soon as you graduate! Our Su family will prepare everything, you just need to agree to get married."
Chen Shuo thought, how autocratic and domineering! She's not giving any room for refusal!
In this aspect, Su Xiyan truly took after her!
With so many people watching, how could Chen Shuo dare to refuse?
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.
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)
