Not long after—
Su Chen had Qian Renxue prepare quite a number of gifts. Then, together with her, he boarded a carriage and set off toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
For some reason, Qian Renxue felt inexplicably irritated.
Damn it.
You're going to meet your future father-in-law—so why the hell are you dragging me along with you?
It's not like you're going to meet my—pah!
This is ridiculous.
When Qian Renxue thought about it, she couldn't help imagining: what would it be like if Su Chen were actually meeting her parents?
She'd call them "Mother," and he'd call her "wife"?
Absurd!
Completely absurd!
Seeing Qian Renxue lost in thought, Su Chen asked,
"Xiao Xue, what are you thinking about?"
"I—"
Qian Renxue snapped irritably, "Why are you calling me Xiao Xue? You should be calling me Your Highness the Crown Prince right now!"
"Heh."
Su Chen chuckled awkwardly. "There's no one else here. Seeing you like this just feels… kind of strange."
Qian Renxue shot him a look. For some reason, she felt even more uncomfortable and didn't want to talk to him at all.
You damn bastard!
You promised to protect me, and what did I get instead?A 'fatherly love as solid as a mountain' type of protection?
Can you at least try to act like a human being?!
Su Chen kept observing Qian Renxue, and he could more or less guess what she was thinking. That made him feel helpless as well.
You can't have both fish and bear's paw… bah!
I, Su Chen, am not a saint—I want everything.
Thinking it through carefully, Bibi Dong was someone he simply couldn't refuse. In that situation back then, even if he hadn't been drinking, he still wouldn't have been able to reject her.
Unless he were completely detached from worldly desires.
But—
Even if he were completely detached, he still wouldn't have dared to open his eyes and look at Queen Bibi Dong.
As for this little blond-haired angel before him, he couldn't be detached either.
Because, deep down, Su Chen had liked Qian Renxue from the very beginning.That liking wasn't like what he felt for Zhu Zhuqing—pure physical desire.
It was different.
But now…
Su Chen looked deeply at Qian Renxue and said,
"Actually, things are getting better now. On the Heaven Dou Empire's side, you can let go whenever you want. I'll handle everything for you."
"And from now on, I'll protect you."
Qian Renxue froze when she heard that. A hint of grievance surfaced in her eyes as she said,
"What relationship do we have? Why should I let you help me?"
"I…"
Su Chen fell silent. Seeing Qian Renxue's reddening eyes, he could clearly feel that she liked him.
"I'm sorry."
He lowered his head in shame. Shameless as he was, he truly wanted both mother and daughter—but even for someone shameless, actually doing such a thing was extremely difficult.
Qian Renxue lowered her head, two silent tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
Maybe—
Even she didn't know why she was like this.
Su Chen reached out and gently wiped away her tears, his expression growing complicated.
After all, Qian Renxue's current appearance was that of Xue Qinghe after disguise.Did this count as… going at a man head-on?
"Are you disgusted by me?"
Seeing Su Chen's expression, Qian Renxue suddenly asked.
Su Chen shook his head seriously.
"No. It's just that my sexual orientation is normal. The way we look right now… is honestly a bit against the natural order and human ethics."
"This is even more outrageous than Yu Xiaogang!"
"Pfft."
Qian Renxue couldn't help laughing. She said irritably,
"It's not like you don't know who I am or what I really look like. This is just my soul bone disguise—this isn't my real appearance."
Su Chen nodded, his tone complicated.
"Yeah."
"Maybe my brain's too rigid. I just can't accept it…"
The more conflicted Su Chen looked, the more satisfied Qian Renxue felt inside. She deliberately scooted closer and sat right next to him.
"Brother Su, you and I are brothers—let's get a little closer."
"Holy—!"
Su Chen instantly felt goosebumps all over.
"Xiao Xue, don't mess around!"
"With you looking like this, don't ruin my orientation!"
Qian Renxue suddenly grabbed Su Chen's hand, acting like a coquettish young girl, and asked,
"Tell me—if I really looked like this, would you still like me?"
Su Chen looked at her, his scalp tingling.
"If you really looked like this, and you were actually a man, and you dared sit this close and grab my hand—then I would definitely… beat you to death."
"You—!"
Qian Renxue said angrily,
"So basically, even if you were willing to help me, you were only attracted to Qian Renxue's beauty, not me as a person. Is that it?"
Su Chen thought for a moment and replied,
"Beauty is also a part of you. What I like is all of you—a complete, whole you."
Qian Renxue looked a little embarrassed, then suddenly asked again,
"Oh really?"
"Since you say that, then my current appearance is also a part of me. So why are you avoiding me? Why don't you dare look at me?"
"Xue Qinghe is also me!"
"If you dare open your eyes and look at me, I don't believe your mind will be completely empty."
Su Chen was genuinely at a loss.
Under normal circumstances, he had a hundred sweet-talking lines that could coax Qian Renxue straight into his arms.
But right now—
He really couldn't go charging straight at a man!
Wait—
At that moment, a bold yet immature thought suddenly flashed through Su Chen's mind.
Qian Renxue's soul bone disguise…
She could turn into Xue Qinghe. That meant she could also turn into Bibi Dong, Ning Rongrong, Hu Liena, Ye Lingling…
This was absurdly powerful.
Su Chen was instantly filled with regret. If he'd realized this earlier—having Qian Renxue would've meant having the whole world!
At that instant, Su Chen suddenly tightened his grip on Qian Renxue's hand. Qian Renxue, who had been about to press him further, instantly grew timid instead.
"Y-you… what are you trying to do?"
Su Chen didn't speak. He just silently tightened his grip.
Qian Renxue tried to pull her hand back, but Su Chen held on firmly. She couldn't free herself.
"Heh! Just now you said your orientation was normal—so now it's suddenly not?"
Su Chen said seriously,
"Little angel, I'm greedy and shameless—so you're not getting away."
"I won't let you go."
"You…!"
Qian Renxue felt both ashamed and conflicted.
No—
This really shouldn't be happening!
Su Chen clasped her hand tightly, his tone solemn and firm.
"I'm shameless. I don't feel at ease letting another man take care of you—so the one who takes care of you for the rest of your life will definitely be me."
For a moment, the atmosphere inside the carriage turned ambiguous. Two 'men' sat there, hands tightly clasped, neither speaking.
[Today is truly a day bursting with vitality!]
[Early in the morning, I was together with… Xue Qinghe. Or rather, I troubled Xue Qinghe to take me to visit Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.]
[Ning Fengzhi—cross that out—Uncle Ning.]
[This flourishing age is exactly as I wished. I've found a big family in this world—no, more accurately, I'm creating a big family.]
[I've finally fulfilled my dream.]
[It's not just that my family is large. With many wives, I've also gained many relatives. Now I'm going to visit one of my fathers-in-law.]
[Uh… I guess my Father-in-law Ning probably already knows about my relationship with Rongrong. Do you think he wants to skin me alive right now?]
