Chapter 401

"The person you were before was really... unappealing... so even if you are a descendant of the Wu family... I could never sacrifice my daughter's happiness for personal gain..."

Su Chengluo let out a heavy sigh and walked to Wu Liang's side, saying something meaningful.

He had to tell Wu Liang the truth, and he had to apologize for underestimating Wu Liang.

Wu Liang's growth to this level has far exceeded his expectations; he had been too naive.

He naively thought Wu Liang was still that good-for-nothing hoodlum, but little did he know that the other party would slap him hard in the face with the facts.

"I want to apologize to you. I feel ashamed for my shallowness and contempt."

"Sisi made the right choice; the man she chose is beyond question."

Su Chengluo placed his hands on Wu Liang's shoulders and smiled with satisfaction.

He then bowed his head deeply, sincerely expressing his deepest apologies.

"Uncle Su! Absolutely not, how could I allow you to bow to me? I was indeed a good-for-nothing hoodlum before, that's an undeniable fact."

"Your concerns are valid; no one wants their daughter to marry a ruthless thug."

Wu Liang was startled to see Su Chengluo about to kneel down and apologize to him.

He hurriedly helped the other person up, smiling awkwardly. Good heavens, if you kneel before me, won't that shorten my lifespan?

"Mr. Su, now that the conversation is over, we should leave."

Yao Shi glanced at the time and slowly said, "It's getting late. If we eat dinner too late, it won't be good for the young master's stomach."

"We won't bother you any longer; we'll visit you another day."

Wu Liang helped Su Chengluo up, and the matter was finally resolved peacefully.

The only thing left to do was to work on his father's side; he had to find a way to persuade his father to agree to this.

However, things are relatively simpler for Wu Xingsheng, since he is, after all, his father.

No matter how bad the relationship between father and son is, the other party would not disown him as their son.

"Look at what you're saying. I have no intention of letting you leave. If you want to leave, then you're disrespecting me."

"We're already family, why are you being so formal? You're not allowed to leave! You're having dinner at my house! I said it!!"

Upon hearing that Wu Liang was leaving, Su Chengluo's smiling face instantly fell.

How could he let his good son-in-law go back in such a sorry state? It would be too impolite of him not even to entertain him with dinner.

If the head of the Wu family found out that his son couldn't even get dinner here, wouldn't he turn on him?

"Uncle Su, it will probably be quite late by the time we finish dinner, and we have class tomorrow, so..."

Wu Liang pointed to the clock hand on the study wall, which was about to point to 10:30.

He no longer wanted to stay, especially in front of Su Chengluo.

It would be troublesome if he and Su Qian didn't act naturally and she noticed something amiss.

The best course of action now is to slip away as soon as possible and avoid any close contact with Su Qian.

"Hey, what's there to be afraid of? Look how big my Su Family is, surely it can accommodate a few of you?"

"It's settled then. You won't be going back tonight; you'll be staying here!"

"We'll be family sooner or later anyway, so what's there to be shy about? Besides, I think Su Qian really wants you to stay. You can't refuse your girlfriend's request, can you?"

Su Chengluo patted Wu Liang on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

He's incredibly excited right now. From a broader perspective, the decline of the Su Family isn't actually a bad thing at all.

If it weren't for the family's decline, how could Su Qian have opened her heart to Wu Liang? How could he have met such an outstanding son-in-law? How could the Su Family have gotten involved with the Wu family, such a powerful clan?

Great! That's wonderful!! We're having a big meal tonight! We absolutely have to prepare a sumptuous feast to entertain her future son-in-law.

"..."

Wu Liang slapped his face, making a crisp sound.

He had planned everything perfectly, but he hadn't anticipated this. How could he not have imagined that he would be forced to stay overnight...?

"..."

Yao Shi's eyes twitched slightly as she gripped the ballpoint pen in her hand, making a clicking sound.

Staying here? The young master actually wants to stay at the Su Family?!

"Oh, right! Actually, I understand you young people's thinking very well!"

"You can sleep in Sisi's bedroom tonight. Don't let my age fool you, my thinking is still pretty much the same as yours."

Su Chengluo moved closer to Wu Liang and proudly patted his chest.

He had long noticed that his daughter cared a lot about Wu Liang, and as her father, he naturally had to think about her best interests.

Su Qian has always been very elegant, so she might be a little reserved in this area. That's when her father needs to give her a little push.

Yao Shi stared coldly at the two people in front of her, her hand gripping the ballpoint pen so tightly that it snapped in two...

Chapter 47: Sent! Sent! Sent!

The atmosphere at the dinner table was particularly strange. Apart from Su Qian's parents, who were all smiling, everyone else had a grim face and tense muscles.

Especially Yao Shi and Milutin, who were arranged by Su Chengluo to sit in the far corner of the dining table, their faces were so gloomy that they could practically drip ink.

Looking at Wu Liang and Su Qian sitting intimately together in front of her, Yao Shi squeezed the spoon in her hand into a U-shape.

Milutin, sitting next to Yao Shi, wasn't much better off, her pretty face filled with deep resentment.

Her agate-like eyes were fixed on Su Chengluo, and her intense dissatisfaction almost cleaved Su Chengluo in two.

Holy crap, it's rare that the young master promised to play games with her when he got home tonight.

This was supposed to be a very happy occasion, but that old geezer hijacked the plane halfway through.

"Yao Shi, why didn't you refuse that old man's request? What are you good for?"

More and more annoyed, Milutin looked at Yao Shi beside him with a dark expression.

He reached out and poked Yao Shi's arm, muttering under his breath, "Logically speaking, this girl would never agree to Su Chengluo's outrageous request."

Why does Yao Shi seem so listless now, having lost her former boldness? It's not like Yao Shi is the type to falter at crucial moments.

"Milutin, shut your mouth and eat your food. I advise you not to provoke me right now."

Annoyed by Milutin's poking, Yao Shi slammed her hand on the table and stared at Milutin with a frosty expression.

Could she have stopped this? Keep in mind that she's currently playing the role of just an ordinary maid and secretary.

Besides, the young master is now Su Chengluo's son-in-law, and Su Qian's nominal boyfriend and fiancé. What right does she, an outsider, have to interfere?

"Oh..."

When Milutin saw the third spoon that Yao Shi had bent, he obediently let out an "oh".

She glanced discreetly at Yao Shi's ashen face and her knuckles, which were white from clenching her fists too tightly, and then obediently lowered her head to drink her soup.

She wouldn't hold a grudge against Yao Shi... Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮... Yao Shi always yells at her... Why yell at her like that... She was just worried about the young master...

But is Young Master really going to sleep in the same bedroom and bed as that girl Su Qian? That's just too... too much...

She hasn't even gotten the young master's body yet, how can she let that little girl Su Qian beat her to it? No way, absolutely not!

"Young Master, I can't let you have this piece of cake."

Milutin muttered to herself, biting her chopsticks. She'd have to think of something to stir things up when she went to bed that night...

"Wu Liang? You seem very nervous. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Su Chengluo looked at Wu Liang, whose face was stiff and whose hands were trembling, and felt very puzzled.

They were behaving perfectly fine during our chat just now, so why are they suddenly acting like a completely different person?

His previous composure suddenly vanished, replaced by a sense of awkwardness and nervousness.

What's going on? Is the food not to your liking? Or is it something else?

"It's nothing serious, I just suddenly felt a bit of a stomachache."

Hearing Su Chengluo's question, Wu Liang forced a smile.

What kind of bizarre development is this? We agreed to just have a meal here, how did we suddenly end up staying at the Su Family?

And he actually wants to share a bedroom with Su Qian? How can Su Qian's father's thought process be so outrageous?

It's one thing to let a stranger who has only recently become your daughter's boyfriend stay here, but how could you say something like letting me sleep in the same bedroom as Su Qian?

That's your precious daughter! Didn't you say before that you cherished Su Qian and wouldn't dare let her suffer even the slightest hardship?

Why are you now siding with outsiders? Aren't you afraid something might happen between us sleeping in the same bed?

"Does your stomach hurt? Qianqian, Wu Liang has a stomachache, why don't you even care?"

"You two don't seem like a couple deeply in love at all."

Su Chengluo turned his head and looked at Su Qian was eating dinner with her head down and not saying a word.

This girl doesn't even care about her boyfriend! Wu Liang has a stomachache, a stomachache!!

He had felt something was off from the very beginning. Why did Su Qian and Wu Liang have such an inexplicable distance between them?

Especially after hearing that she had told Wu Liang to stay, Su Qian Xi acted strangely, as if she had lost her soul.

"Sissi? Can you hear me? Sissi??"

After seeing Su Qian mechanically putting food into her mouth.

Su Chengluo frowned and slammed his hand on Su Qian's desk twice.

"Oh? Father, what's wrong? What happened?"

Su Qian mind was already in complete chaos, hurriedly looked up at Su Chengluo, who had an unhappy expression, and for a moment couldn't figure out what had happened.

Why was her father looking at her with such a strange expression? Had she given herself away somewhere?

"Why are you daydreaming, you silly girl?"

"Wu Liang is feeling very unwell right now. His stomach hurts so much that he can't even eat. As his girlfriend, how can you be so inconsiderate?"

"Wu Liang, are you two really lovers? Why don't I see any romantic feelings between you two?"

Su Chengluo stood with his arms crossed, looking at the two people in front of him with suspicion.

I didn't notice this at first, but now that I've calmed down and looked at it carefully... these two kids really don't seem like a couple...

"Oh, Wu Liang, does your stomach hurt? I didn't notice just now, let me rub it for you."

"Are you still feeling unwell? How about I give you a good massage after we finish eating?"

Feeling Su Chengluo's suspicious gaze, Su Qian's face turned pale. She hurriedly moved her chair next to Wu Liang and spoke with concern in her eyes.

She stretched out her snow-white little hand and directly lifted Wu Liang's clothes, reaching inside to gently massage his lower abdomen.

With her watery eyes sparkling, Su Qian leaned close to Wu Liang, gazing at him shyly.

She has completely lost her former elegant young lady demeanor and is now just a young girl who has fallen deeply in love.

"Ah... it's okay! I'm already so happy to have someone as considerate as Xixi. Stomach aches and pains are no problem at all."

"Don't worry, I'm fine now. How could I let Sisi worry about me like that?"

Wu Liang, who had originally wanted to say something, gritted his teeth after seeing Su Qian's constantly suggestive glances.

He forced a smile, reached out and put his arm around Su Qian's slender waist, moving a little closer to her.

Feeling the softness of her waist and smelling the fragrance from her hair, Wu Liang gazed "gently" at Su Qian and spoke softly.

'Click'

Milutin's eyes twitched as he looked at the bent spoon in Yao Shi's hand.

Hmm... this seems to be the fifth one...
