Su Yuanying's words carried a hint of emotion. He hadn't expected things to progress so quickly.
In the blink of an eye, his daughter had grown up and found a man worthy of her trust.
Now it was time to prepare for Su Xiyan's marriage, and it all seemed to be happening too fast.
So fast that Su Yuanying felt as if it were a dream, though he knew it was all real.
"Son-in-law, my daughter will be in your care from now on. Remember your promise."
Su Yuanying spoke with a slightly heavy tone, without turning to look at Chen Shuo.
"Uncle, I certainly will. My parents are still waiting for me to rescue them. Once I bring them back, I'll bring them to discuss these matters with you."
Chen Shuo said very seriously. Since Su Yuanying was willing to entrust his daughter to him,
he naturally had to live up to Su Yuanying's trust. He wanted to show Su Yuanying that giving his daughter to him was the best decision he'd ever made.
"Good, go quickly and return soon. I'll await your news."
Su Yuanying patted Chen Shuo's shoulder firmly, indicating that he could leave.
After bidding farewell, Chen Shuo planned to go directly to Brothel Street.
Since the female ghost hadn't appeared at all, his parents must be in her hands.
Just as Chen Shuo was about to drive off in the white AMG, a hand stopped him at the car door.
Chen Shuo rolled down the window to find it was Su Xiyan.
"Xiyan? Is something wrong?" Chen Shuo asked curiously.
"What do you think? Were you planning to go alone without me?" Su Xiyan pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.
"It's not that I didn't want to take you. I just thought that since you've just had a breakthrough, you need to consolidate your cultivation and take care of your body, so..."
Chen Shuo explained patiently, but Su Xiyan didn't see it that way: "Come on, if you don't want to take me, just say so. Tell me, is there something going on? Is that why you don't want me to go?"
Su Xiyan's suspicious gaze seemed to have the power to see through everything. As she stared intently at Chen Shuo, she kept leaning closer to him.
With each inch closer, her gaze became sharper.
It was as if she wanted to detect any hint of a problem in Chen Shuo's eyes, but the result was obvious.
She couldn't see anything wrong, because from start to finish, Chen Shuo had never deceived her.
"It's really not what you think. It's just that the street is quite complicated and not suitable for girls like you."
Chen Shuo said, awkwardly rubbing his nose.
"Not suitable for girls like us?" Su Xiyan's voice suddenly raised by eight octaves. She just couldn't understand what was so unsuitable for her.
She had killed vampires and even a ghost king. Was there anywhere in this world that wasn't suitable for her?
It was precisely Chen Shuo's words that sparked Su Xiyan's strong curiosity.
She wanted to see just how unsuitable this place could be.
"It really isn't suitable!" Seeing Su Xiyan's insistence on going, Chen Shuo explained again.
But Su Xiyan wouldn't listen to anything at this point. She was determined to go and see what kind of place Chen Shuo was talking about!
Faced with Su Xiyan's persistence, Chen Shuo had no choice but to give in.
At this point, he could only let Su Xiyan come along.
Seeing Chen Shuo compromise, Su Xiyan finally showed a smug smile: "That's more like it."
After getting in the car, Su Xiyan fastened her seatbelt and signaled Chen Shuo to drive.
Chen Shuo wanted to try to persuade Su Xiyan one more time, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Su Xiyan cut him off.
"Enough talk, just drive!"
Chen Shuo shook his head helplessly. At this point, it couldn't be helped.
The car weaved through familiar streets as Chen Shuo drove Su Xiyan to Brothel Street.
When the car stopped on Brothel Street, Su Xiyan, who had been full of anticipation, was suddenly dumbfounded.
Everything around her was completely beyond her imagination. On both sides of the street were neat rows of small storefronts.
In front of each storefront were several scantily clad, heavily made-up women casting glances in their direction.
Before they could even get out of the car, women had already approached them.
Deliberately flaunting her figure, one leaned against Chen Shuo's car and flirted enthusiastically: "Handsome, why don't you come out and play?"
But as soon as she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Su Xiyan beside him.
As their eyes met, the two women felt nothing but endless awkwardness.
"Oh? You even bring girls to a place like this? Brother, you've got interesting tastes."
The woman's complex gaze moved back and forth between Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan, her playful tone somewhat intriguing.
Su Xiyan was extremely embarrassed, her face instantly turning bright red.
She never dreamed that the "unsuitable" Chen Shuo spoke of was this kind of unsuitable.
She felt more angry than anything else. She couldn't understand why Chen Shuo would come to such a place of ill repute.
Although she didn't know much about such establishments, some things don't require firsthand experience to understand.
But the thought of Chen Shuo coming to a place like this left Su Xiyan with an indescribable feeling.
"Hey, stay away from that guy! He's a weird one, all fake propriety. Hard to please!"
Just as the atmosphere had become as awkward as possible, a disdainful voice suddenly rang out from nearby.
The woman was none other than the one who had been rejected by Chen Shuo both times he had come to this place.
Now seeing Chen Shuo appear again, she naturally wanted to warn her sisters to stay away from him.
Otherwise, they might repeat the same mistake and have unpleasant experiences.
After the woman was dragged away, an even more awkward situation arose for Chen Shuo.
Su Xiyan had naturally heard those words as well.
Fake propriety? Hard to please? These words bombarded Su Xiyan's mind, forcing her to think in some unpleasant directions.
However, Su Xiyan still maintained her composure and knew her limits.
Deep down, she was still willing to believe in Chen Shuo's innocence.
But if some misunderstandings couldn't be fully cleared up, they would remain as a knot in her heart.
"Don't you want to say something?" Su Xiyan asked calmly.
Chen Shuo felt a chill down his spine. The calmer Su Xiyan appeared, the more uneasy he felt.
"It's complicated to explain, but trust me, I'm not the kind of person who acts carelessly." Chen Shuo raised two fingers, swearing his fidelity.
Seeing Chen Shuo's serious and nervous expression, Su Xiyan burst out laughing: "Silly, I'm just teasing you. I know what kind of person you are. Besides, I'm not that insecure. I wouldn't lose to these shallow women."
