The Shen Household was shocked when they received the news that Shen Chi and Su Nanxing were together. Shen Chi had not hidden it because of the medication.

Besides, didn't they still have to tell Shen Can to be careful? Once Shen Can knew, it would basically be impossible to keep it hidden.

They might as well explain it clearly now, so they would not have to hear about it later through Shen Can's inner thoughts.

The Shen Household did not say much. Both young men had made their decision, and further interference would be useless. They would just let things take their course. How could they know they were unsuitable without even trying?

The next day, Shen Chi first took Su Nanxing to see his grandfather. Su Nanxing's grandfather was very supportive of them.

"I still remember how this kid ran up to us back then and asked which one of us was your grandfather, and whether we would do anything if you were bullied."

"At the time, I thought the two of you would definitely become good friends afterward. I never expected that after returning to A City, you would instead fail to get along."

"Grandpa does not know what made you reach this decision, but Grandpa supports your decision."

"Of course, if he ever wrongs you, you must get away as soon as possible. Do not get trapped in a mistaken relationship and ruin yourself."

Other than him, Su Nanxing had no other elders. He had a father, but his father did not truly care about him, so there were some things only he could say.

Su Nanxing nodded solemnly. He understood his grandfather's good intentions. And his grandfather truly treated him well. At first, he had not known about the bullying Su Nanxing had suffered.

His father was a very hypocritical man, who seemed concerned about him as well. But whenever it involved the mistress's son, his father always made him give way. Even when he discovered Su Nanxing was being bullied, he treated it as a trivial matter between children, never realizing just how badly Su Nanxing had been bullied.

Before long, Shen Chi returned. He had previously been sent away by the butler. Su Nanxing and Shen Chi did not leave until they had eaten lunch with Elder Su.

Once Su Nanxing got into the car, he began looking over work again. Ever since learning that his grandfather would pass away within two years in the plot, he had stopped letting him work so hard. He had even specifically found a chef who specialized in medicinal cuisine to help nurse his body back to health.

Sooner or later, he would have to take over the Su Household's responsibilities. There was no way he would hand them over to the mistress's son. Besides, had his grandfather not been suppressing his father all this time just to pave the way for him?

That evening, the two of them went to the Shen Household for dinner. Most of the Shen family was there. Huo Huan was there too; since he came over to play so often, he was already extremely familiar with the Shen Household.

Assistant He did not have time to pick him up every day. Now, Huo Huan's own driver took him back and forth. After Shen Mother learned this, she told him to stay for dinner every time he came over to play.

During dinner, Huo Huan looked at the two of them in confusion and asked, "Weren't you sworn enemies? How could you end up together?"

Ever since getting a tablet, he had gained a way to keep up with the news. Among wealthy young masters, the gossip magazines wrote most often about those two, since they were both in the entertainment industry.

Su Nanxing explained that Shen Chi had once saved him. Huo Huan secretly glanced at Shen Zhuo. Just like them.

"Then how did you and Third Brother become sworn enemies?" Shen Can was also very curious. In the plot, they had appeared as sworn enemies from the beginning. It was only when Su Nanxing stepped in to help Shen Chi that it mentioned Shen Chi saving him.

It never explained why they became sworn enemies again after that. He had guessed that something might have happened in between, but he did not know exactly what it was.

Once Su Nanxing explained it, he finally understood. So it turned out Third Brother had provoked Su Nanxing himself.

Of course Shen Chi had to defend himself. "I actually meant to reconcile with you afterward. You were the one who started cursing at me every time."

Shen Can silently thought, I can't even bring myself to criticize you, Third Brother. Su Nanxing must have felt completely disillusioned. He had kept you in his heart with gratitude for so long and looked forward to meeting you for so long.

Who knows how wonderful he imagined you to be, only for you to be completely different from the person who had generously helped him before. He only asked a question, and you immediately snapped at him. You even narcissistically claimed he was hitting on you, and your tone was so irritating.

Who wouldn't get angry? And you were both young and cared about your pride. There was no way he wouldn't hold a grudge against you.

Su Nanxing did not spare Shen Chi's feelings and said truthfully, "You were completely different from what I imagined. Just treat it as revenge for my shattered fantasy. Back then, I felt like I'd failed at meeting an online boyfriend in person."

It was normal for Shen Chi not to remember him, because he had definitely changed after growing up. But Shen Chi had directly said in a bad tone that he had helped countless people, and that this way of striking up a conversation was far too cliché. How could that not make him angry?

If he had not been so eager to meet Shen Chi, if he had not imagined him as so wonderful and perfect, he would not have gotten angry.

Later, though, he came to understand that no one had only one side. It was just that he had only seen that side of Shen Chi, only come to know that side of him, and remembered it for a very, very long time. So it was normal that he could not accept it right away.

Lu Shao burst out laughing. This was far too funny. Luckily, he had never offended his wife before, or it would have been humiliating enough—and it would definitely keep getting brought up whenever the two husbands argued.

Shen Ze glared at Lu Shao. He still had the nerve to laugh? Did he think he had done so well himself? Only after they got together did Shen Ze learn why Lu Shao had only ever let him scrub his back before.

It turned out Lu Shao had clearly had feelings for him, yet deliberately kept him from knowing. Did Lu Shao know how many times Shen Ze had been heartbroken in the past because he thought there was no possibility between them?

As Shen Can ate, he began to feel that something was off. So now, does that mean only Fourth Brother and I are single? Oh my god, there are three couples in this house—no, four if you count Mom and Dad. The pressure is huge, okay?

And Fourth Brother actually has someone waiting for him too. Although I don't know whether they'll end up together, at least there's a possibility.

What about me? Can Can doesn't even have a single peach blossom. By the time they all get together, I'll still be a lonely single dog.

Hmph, when that happens, I'm definitely moving out!! My career is my greatest love. With no one in my heart, my sword naturally becomes divine.

Several of them smiled silently. How could they possibly watch Shen Can remain single forever? If Shen Can never met someone he liked, they would definitely find a way to introduce someone to him.

After that, the conversation at the dinner table turned to work matters between Shen Father and Su Nanxing, while Shen Yu also voiced his opinions.

After they finished talking about the Cruise Party, Shen Can's inner voice suddenly rang out. It's here. It's finally here.

Doesn't the plot have that whole he-runs, he-chases, and-she-can't-escape-even-with-wings storyline? And what does it take to make that happen? Our male lead needs power in both the underworld and the legitimate world.

This is the male lead's first opportunity to get involved in that side of things. He saves the life of an A City underworld boss, and then the boss admires him greatly and even specifically sends his daughter to stay by his side so they can spend time together.

Shen Keke keeps running away, and more than half the time, it's because he is jealous of this woman. Every time Shen Keke runs, Zhou Jingxuan chases after him, but he never drives this woman away.

This gang is truly evil and does everything—loan sharking, forcing women into prostitution to make money for them, trafficking drugs, and selling firearms. Beneath A City's peaceful surface, how many people have been ruined by their hands?

The moment Huo Xi came in, he heard something about it finally being here. He had gotten home early today, so he had come by to pick up Huo Huan. Of course, he also wanted to see what Shen Can was doing. He had not expected to hear this. Zhou Jingxuan really had a lot of nerve, getting involved with anything and everything.
