Chen Shuo hesitated for only half a second before feeling countless eyes fixed intently on him.
Especially Su Xiyan and the Su Old Lady - the grandmother and granddaughter pair had identical intense gazes.
It was Chen Shuo's first time being stared at by so many elders.
He quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, no problem, I can do it, it's all fine."
Su Xiyan: "Are you just being perfunctory?"
Su Old Lady: "It seems you still need to think it over?"
Su Yuanying: "Chen Shuo, I think highly of you. Such a smart young man surely wouldn't make decisions that aren't good for himself, right?"
Aunt Su Meiyu: "Our Su family daughters don't marry out easily!"
Sheng Family elder: "If you don't agree, our Sheng family wouldn't mind paying a visit to Su City."
...
Oh crap!
Is this being forced into marriage?
Chen Shuo finally realized what was happening!
They said it was gratitude, but in reality, it was coercion into marriage!
I'm still just a kid, is this a situation I should be facing?
Under the extremely powerful aura of all the elders, Chen Shuo finally dared not be perfunctory anymore:
"As long as Xiyan is willing, we'll get married after graduation!"
"We'll get our diplomas in the morning and marriage certificate in the afternoon!"
"We'll focus on both studies and love, without slacking off!"
Only then did the elders present nod with satisfaction.
Su Xiyan pouted coquettishly, her words belying her true feelings: "Who says I'm marrying you? It depends on how you perform!"
The Su Old Lady sat back in her armchair, her eyes crinkling with laughter: "Little Chen, everyone is very satisfied with your decision!"
Su Yuanying slowly dissipated the void energy gathered in his palm: "I said Little Chen is a smart child who wouldn't make unwise decisions."
Aunt Su Meiyu: "Our Su family daughters only marry those who have passed everyone's tests."
The Sheng Family elder: "What I meant earlier was that when you get married, I'll bring the entire Sheng family to congratulate you at the wedding!"
...
Cold sweat broke out on Chen Shuo's forehead as he thought to himself, these people in the same room sure know how to make sharp turns in conversation, it's enough to give one whiplash!
In short, three words: Too formidable!!
The impromptu rescue at the wedding saved the VIPs at the five tables in the front row of the wedding venue. Chen Shuo had become the big idol of the three major families, receiving praise after praise from the elders.
"In the future, if you need anything, just say the word and our entire Sheng family will be at your service!"
"The future son-in-law of the Su family is indeed strong! Our Xiyan has good taste!"
"You can walk with your head held high in Yu Hua City now!"
"So young, just started university? Such a calm and composed young man is rare indeed! Fearless in the face of danger, truly heroic!"
"This is our chamber of commerce's black gold card, unlimited credit. A small token, feel free to use it."
"We have several properties in Su City, including Century Sky City in the south. All are detached villas with courtyards, nestled between mountains and waters. Market price is just over 10 million. If you don't mind, take your pick!"
"You're studying at Nanli University, right? I know the chancellor of Nanli University, I'll put in a good word for you."
"..."
Chen Shuo was like a mascot, receiving compliments from the elders in turn.
Amidst all the "handsome" praises, he almost lost himself.
By the time Chen Shuo came to his senses, his pockets were bulging, stuffed full of gifts from the various families.
Car keys, villa keys, black gold cards that could buy a helicopter, and so on.
These major families certainly knew how to give substantial gifts!
Su Xiyan knew Chen Shuo didn't like such occasions, so she quickly tugged at his arm and said to the elders present: "We're a bit tired too, so we'll head back to rest now!"
Before being pulled away by Su Xiyan, Chen Shuo didn't forget to say goodbye: "Goodbye, Grandmother! Goodbye, Uncle Su! Goodbye, Aunt! Goodbye, all elders!"
Watching Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan's retreating figures, the elders present all broke into satisfied smiles: "What a good child!"
"He has a bright future ahead!"
"The Su family is fortunate! With such a capable future son-in-law, the Su family's power might surpass both our families in the future!"
These words hit home for Su Yuanying and the Su Old Lady, who smiled so widely their eyes nearly disappeared.
After leaving the reception room, Chen Shuo wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Damn! That was too intense!"
"I'm just an ordinary college student, when have I ever faced such a situation?"
"Did my performance just now embarrass you?"
As they spoke, the two entered the elevator.
Su Xiyan turned to face Chen Shuo, gently pinching his cheeks: "How could you possibly embarrass me? You actually made me look good! Having such a wonderful boyfriend like Chen Shuo, I'm so proud!"
"Not just me, but our entire Su family can now hold our heads high in front of the other two major families!"
Chen Shuo raised an eyebrow, very surprised: "Is it that dramatic?"
Su Xiyan: "Not exaggerating at all! Our three families have always been in a state of equal power. We cooperate, but each thinks they should be the top dog!"
"Now it's great, their lives were saved by someone from the Su family."
"From now on, our Su family will be the leader in their eyes!"
Chen Shuo couldn't quite wrap his head around it: "But wasn't it me who saved them?"
Su Xiyan: "Aren't you part of our Su family?"
Chen Shuo: "...I guess...sort of!"
Su Xiyan's beautiful face turned cold: "I'll give you three seconds to rephrase that."
A murderous aura swept over, even Chen Shuo's system went into hiding.
It seemed he really couldn't afford to offend Su Xiyan.
Chen Shuo immediately corrected himself: "Yes, yes, you're right!"
Only then did Su Xiyan retract her murderous aura, her face once again donning a sweet, satisfied smile as she clung to Chen Shuo's arm, nearly hanging her entire body on him.
Weddings truly were physically demanding affairs.
As best man and maid of honor, Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan had gotten up before dawn and been busy non-stop.
Exiting the elevator, Su Xiyan felt she didn't even have the energy to walk.
It was like a taut bowstring suddenly relaxing after being stretched for too long.
"Chen Shuo, I can't walk anymore." Su Xiyan leaned against the wall by the elevator, her eyes clear and bright.
Chen Shuo: "The room is just ahead, it's only a few steps away."
Su Xiyan, looking very much like a lazy little kitten: "Chen Shuo, carry me on your back."
He really couldn't say no to her!
Chen Shuo turned around, his back to Su Xiyan: "Come on then! Don't go telling people later that I bullied you again."
Su Xiyan climbed onto Chen Shuo's back, her arms wrapped around his neck. As she spoke, her warm breath tickled Chen Shuo's neck, making it tingle.
Chen Shuo carried Su Xiyan on his back, treading on the soft, thick carpet along the corridor towards their room.
