Duan Xuanyu went out that very night and bought three feet of white silk.
In the stillness of the night.
He quietly slipped into Duan Hongxu's bedroom.
Skillfully, she slipped the white silk around his neck and tightened it!
Those who come later can never surpass those who came before!
That's because the first wife is fierce, ruthless, and vicious!
Snap--
The lights in the room suddenly turned on.
Duan Hongxu opened his eyes.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the white ribbon around his neck.
She looked up again and met Duan Xuanyu's gaze.
"Ancestor, what are you doing?"
Her pitiful tone revealed unease and panic.
In that instant, the experiences he had had with his grandson over the past few days flooded into Duan Xuanyu's mind like a tidal wave.
He remembered how Duan Hongxu had helped him teach him how to use the internet, how to bypass internet restrictions, how to learn foreign languages, and how to broaden his world horizons...
They had already unknowingly built a kinship that transcended time and space.
Duan Xuanyu: "..."
Duan Hongxu: "..."
After a long silence.
Duan Xuanyu: "I wanted to buy you a scarf since winter is coming, but I'm worried I don't have good taste."
He eventually softened and silently took back the white silk ribbon.
Duan Hongxu breathed a sigh of relief and gently rubbed his forehead, "So you just wanted to try on the style around my neck. I thought you were going to strangle me, haha, you scared yourself."
"No." Duan Xuanyu chuckled softly, but there was no smile in his eyes. "As long as you don't hurt Su Mian, I will never strangle you."
Duan Hongxu a chill run down his spine.
After watching Duan Xuanyu leave his room, Duan Hongxu immediately took out his phone.
Although our ancestors could be quite terrifying when they were filled with murderous intent, it doesn't matter.
Once he seduces Su Mian Su Mian and makes her fall in love with him, the old ancestor will realize that Su Mian is not worthy of his love at all.
Duan Hongxu opened his phone and glanced at the time.
3 a. m.
The timing is perfect.
He sent Su Mian a message: "Little sister, check the trending topics."
He knew Su Mian must not be asleep.
Because she slept all afternoon.
On the trending topics, it was the grand confession gift he had carefully prepared for Su Mian.
Duan Hongxu awaited Su Mian's reaction.
Wouldn't that move her to tears?
His ancestors never imagined they could confess their love like this!
Su Mian was indeed not asleep at this time.
She clicked on the trending topics to take a look.
#Su Mian's non-celebrity boyfriend is suspected of confessing his love to Su Mian #
It turns out that half an hour ago...
On a certain beach.
Someone used hundreds of drones to form a sentence in the air:
[ Su Mian, you are the twinkling star I encountered only after breaking through the heavy twilight.]
They also used drones to form a circle and released high-tech cold light fireworks inside the circle.
From a distance, it looked as if a six-pointed star summoning array had appeared out of thin air in the sky.
[Is this a high-level magic circle?! It's amazing!]
[Who did this? This definitely wasn't Tyrant Bro's doing. Tyrant Bro doesn't even know you need a driver's license to drive, I don't believe he'd figure out how to use a drone for a confession so quickly.]
[Even Tyrant Bro isn't this slick; he doesn't seem like the type to write such flowery language.]
[Waaaaah, my favorite couple is already going to have a bad ending?!]
[That's not necessarily true. Maybe they're not here to break them up, but to join them.]
[Case solved! It was our Cotton Candy who did it!]
Su Mian scrolled through her phone expressionlessly for a while, then received another message from Duan Hongxu.
"Shall we go out and chat for a bit?"
Su Mian hadn't eaten dinner and was a bit hungry, so she decided to go out and find something to eat.
She opened the door.
Duan Hongxu leaned against the railing, his posture casual and relaxed.
His face was half-hidden in the darkness as he spoke in a nonchalant tone, "Do you know why I like you?"
Su Mian remained silent.
Duan Hongxu continued, "As a history enthusiast of the Northern Liang, I know that our ancestor loved you so much because you redeemed him during the darkest time of his life."
"I also long for someone like you to save me... Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually very broken."
"The pain from one's family of origin takes a lifetime to heal."
Su Mian said expressionlessly, "We are a blended family, not a family of origin."
"..." Duan Hongxu pretended not to hear her complaints and continued to immerse himself in the tragic atmosphere he had created. "My parents divorced when I was young. My childhood was very painful, and my life has been like walking on thin ice."
Upon hearing this, Su Mian's eyes lit up!
He pushed Duan Hongxu to the ground.
I stepped on his abs with one foot, pushed him forward, and slid off the smooth floor!
Su Mian: "If your life is like walking on thin ice, then I will use your life to skate on it!"
"Damn it..." Duan Hongxu winced in pain, no longer pretending to be broken, " Su Mian, you have no heart!"
In the room next door, Duan Chaoyang and Su Qingyan.
The two people are playing video games all night.
They heard noises outside, but because the room was well soundproofed, they couldn't make out what was being said.
It just felt quite lively.
Su Qingyan leaned on Duan Chaoyang's shoulder and smiled with relief, " Mianmian was so pitiful before. She worked hard, was ambitious, and was well-behaved, but Lu Zhou swindled her out of all her savings."
"But thankfully, you Duan Family are there; everyone treats her very well. She finally has a lively and welcoming home."
Duan Chaoyang, however, looked worried and let out a soft sigh.
Su Qingyan looked up at him. "What's wrong?"
Duan Chaoyang hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself... but he couldn't stop himself after all.
He told the truth, "The brighter my son's smile, the darker his heart; the nicer he is to someone, the more he actually dislikes them. His lukewarm attitude towards you is normal."
Su Qingyan was stunned. "What? He's a pervert!"
Duan Chaoyang neither confirmed nor denied it, and began to recount Duan Hongxu's past.
"My separation from his mother was actually amicable. I was busy with my career back then, and my ex-wife was someone who needed a lot of emotional support, so we got divorced."
"My ex-wife wasn't a bad person, just a bit... naive. She was tricked by her new husband into giving me key information about my company's bids, which not only cost me billions in business but also caused me to go to jail for commercial bribery."
"When I first went to jail, Xuxu came over and cut ties with me, calling me a disgrace."
Then he turned and ran into the arms of his mother and stepfather; he was fifteen years old that year.
"I was so heartbroken. My son, whom I've loved for fifteen years, not only didn't believe me, but how could he be so heartless and cruel?"
"Unexpectedly, half a month later, his stepfather was sent to jail by Xuxu."
"Furthermore, Xuxu found evidence to prove that I did not engage in commercial bribery, and she got me out of there."
"Later I discovered that Xuxu was like that with everyone."
"He maintains basic politeness towards those who are aloof and quiet, which is his normal attitude, like towards you."
"Being overly enthusiastic usually means they're up to no good."
After listening, Su Qingyan asked worriedly, "Waaah, what should we do, Brother Yang? Mianmian is such a pure and gentle girl, how could she possibly win against him in a power struggle within the household?"
Duan Chaoyang thought for a moment and came up with an idea, "It's okay, I'll use Xuxu's money to buy another house for Mianmian. Consider it the bride price I'm giving to my daughter when I marry you."
When a father gets married, he expects his son to pay the bride price for his wife's daughter...
This sentence is truly inverted; every word is completely contrary to the natural order.
Su Qingyan worried, "But I'm afraid that if Mianmian accepts the money, Xuxu will dislike Mianmian even more..."
Duan Chaoyang smiled slightly, "That requires some thought and strategy."
Early the next morning.
The family ate breakfast together.
Su Mian angered Su Qingyan by using chopsticks to pick up pan-fried buns.
Su Qingyan slammed the knife and fork onto the table.
"You lowly, poor woman, you can't even use a knife and fork properly, how can you expect to live a high-class life with me?"
Su Mian: "... Hmm? Mom?"
Snap!
Su Qingyan simply tossed a gold card in front of her!
"You've really embarrassed me! This ten million was a gift from Xuxu to me as a sign of filial piety. Consider it a buyout of our mother-daughter relationship! Get out of here and buy yourself a house!"
