The moment Chen Shuo saw Su Xiyan appear before his eyes, he could hardly contain the excitement in his heart.
He had truly feared that something might have happened to Su Xiyan, as he didn't want anyone close to him to be harmed.
Seeing that Su Xiyan was safe and sound, the anxiety in his heart could finally subside.
"Put me down quickly, there are others around!" Su Xiyan shyly patted Chen Shuo's shoulder, wanting him to set her down.
The Su Mansion was vast, with many servants coming and going. If they were to see this, it would inevitably lead to some gossip.
However, at this moment, Chen Shuo was completely immersed in his own inner joy, unable to hear anything else.
"No, I want to hold you like this, hold you tightly," Chen Shuo said, his arms tightening even more.
People are often like that – when together every day, there aren't many emotional fluctuations.
But when suddenly separated, those emotions surge forth in an instant.
It was also at this moment that Chen Shuo became even more aware of Su Xiyan's place in his heart.
Apart from his parents, she was the most important person in his life.
"Chen Shuo, you... put me down quickly..."
Seeing that Chen Shuo still refused to let go, Su Xiyan tried to struggle several times, her small face flushed red like a ripe apple.
In fact, she hadn't expected that her disappearance for just a few short hours could make Chen Shuo so anxious.
"I said I won't. Do you know how worried I was about you during the time you were gone? Tell me, why didn't you answer my calls?"
Chen Shuo asked sternly while holding her tightly.
He had almost barged into Su Yuanying's residence just moments ago.
Faced with Chen Shuo's seriousness, Su Xiyan also realized her mistake and looked guilty: "I... didn't mean to. It's just that given the situation at the time, I couldn't answer the phone."
"What exactly happened? Are you hiding something from me?"
"Well, it's not convenient to talk about it here. Let's go to my room, and I'll tell you the details."
Su Xiyan, seeing that there were still others around and fearing eavesdroppers, didn't immediately tell Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo hesitated for a moment but agreed.
Under Su Xiyan's guidance, Chen Shuo went to Su Xiyan's room in the Su Mansion.
This was the first time Chen Shuo had come to this place, or more accurately, the first time Su Xiyan had brought him here.
The previous two times he had entered the Su Mansion, he hadn't been to Su Xiyan's private quarters.
Entering Su Xiyan's room, Chen Shuo finally understood what it meant to be raised as a princess.
He never imagined that a woman who appeared cold on the outside and had such a strong career focus could have such a girlish private space.
Pink painted walls as a base, surrounded by various girly stuffed animals and dolls, the entire decor made it feel like entering a fairy tale world.
The atmosphere brimming with youthful vitality left Chen Shuo stunned on the spot.
"What's wrong? You seem very surprised," Su Xiyan couldn't help but laugh at Chen Shuo's dazed expression.
Chen Shuo nodded in a daze, "Not just surprised, but extremely surprised. I didn't know you had such a girlish side."
"Of course, all these things you see are my treasured mementos, they all have special meaning,"
Su Xiyan sighed, realizing she had missed out on many things that girls typically experience in their youth. To make up for these regrets, whenever she saw cute dolls or stuffed animals she liked, she would buy them all.
Over time, her entire room had become filled with these items.
"By the way, what exactly were you doing during the time you disappeared?"
Although Chen Shuo was very curious about his surroundings, he was more concerned about Su Xiyan's whereabouts.
"I was doing proper business, of course. What, are you worried I went out on a date with someone else?" Su Xiyan teased, seeing Chen Shuo's nervous expression.
Chen Shuo was in no mood for jokes and asked sternly with a serious face, "Be serious. Quickly, tell me where you went."
"You really are a blockhead, aren't you? Can't you figure anything out? Of course I went to handle official business, and it was something you arranged, no less."
Hearing this, Chen Shuo was like a perplexed monk, unable to make heads or tails of the situation.
He had arranged it? How come he had no memory of this at all?
Seeing that Chen Shuo couldn't remember, Su Xiyan sighed lightly and shook her head, "You really are forgetful, aren't you? Wasn't it you who said to call Zhang Chuan and the others from Rong City to come over? That's what I went to take care of."
Hearing this, Chen Shuo seemed to wake up. So that's what it was about. He had been so focused on persuading Old Xu that he had completely forgotten about this matter.
"Have you arranged their accommodation?" Chen Shuo inquired.
"Of course, I always handle things properly," Su Xiyan proudly lifted her chin. She had put in quite a bit of effort for this matter.
"Wait a minute, something still doesn't seem right. If you were dealing with their affairs, why did you have to hide it from me and disappear for so long?"
After calming down, Chen Shuo couldn't help but feel confused.
Everything else was clear, but this point left Chen Shuo somewhat puzzled.
"You really think it's that simple to bring them into Su City? They're all vampires. To get them into Su City, I not only had to guard against the Monster Hunter Company, but also the Demon King's side..."
Su Xiyan went on to explain in detail the process of transferring these people.
Because there were over twenty vampires to be moved together, the target was too conspicuous.
So, to ensure everything went smoothly, while taking care of Chen Shuo, she had put her heart and soul into this task.
Dealing with her own company was manageable; she just had to tamper with the vampire detection system a bit, and nothing could be found.
To deceive the Demon King's side, Su Xiyan had to put in a lot of effort.
For this, she even sought her father's help, using methods to seal their auras, and moved them in several batches before successfully transferring them all.
To provide them with a place to stay, Su Xiyan had to take the risk of keeping them all at the Su Mansion.
The two times she left were actually to deliver supplies to them.
After all, with over twenty people, their daily needs for food and necessities were not small.
The time she disappeared today was also to deliver supplies to them. At the same time, she made some arrangements for them.
Because of all this, it took quite a bit of time, back and forth.
As for not answering Chen Shuo's calls, it was simply because she had forgotten to bring her phone at the time, which led to this misunderstanding.
After hearing everything, Chen Shuo finally understood.
Su Xiyan's seemingly relaxed daily life was actually so busy.
It truly proved the old saying that behind every successful man is a woman who manages everything, and Su Xiyan was that thoughtful woman.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
