Whoever You Choose, It's a Dead End

Tang Yu carried Su Muyue home with an exasperated expression on his face.

Tang Gangcheng frowned and scolded, "How much alcohol did you make Muyue drink? Why is she this drunk?"

"She wanted to drink herself. She couldn't handle it after just three drinks."

"Bullshit! Muyue never goes to places like that to drink. Don't think I can't see through your intentions, boy."

Tang Gangcheng berated him harshly. Being men themselves, how could he not see through this kid's obvious motives?

"..."

Tang Yu felt like crying. Couldn't his old man see all the lipstick marks on his face? It's not like he pressed his face against hers himself!

After returning home, Tang's Mother helped support Su Muyue.

"I'll take Muyue to rest in your room first. And you, young man, are not allowed to take her drinking again."

"Let Muyue rest in the guest room. Why send her to his room?" Tang Gangcheng said disapprovingly.

His wife was perfect in every way except that she spoiled their son too much. Even this arranged marriage was strongly pushed by her at home, otherwise he wouldn't have had the face to agree to it.

Tang's Mother smiled and nodded, understanding her husband's meaning.

Tang Gangcheng then looked at Tang Yu and spoke earnestly, "I know you've liked her for years, but some things can't be rushed. It has to be her own choice."

"If you try any more tricks, I'll break all three of your legs."

"You're overthinking it, Dad. I really have no interest in her."

"Then who are you interested in? Wang's Daughter? Or Qin's Kexin?"

Tang Gangcheng raised an eyebrow as he asked.

"..."

Tang Yu felt like either choice would lead to a dead end.

Among the four major families besides the Tang Family, the other three families all had beauties who had caught Ye Chen's eye.

You could say that guy conquered the three major families by dating their daughters.

This was the most ridiculous part of these wish-fulfillment novels.

How could these prestigious families have no shame? How could they tolerate their precious daughters serving one man alongside other women, while also pouring all their family resources into him?

What nonsense!

After being lectured by his father while getting his ear pulled for quite a while, Tang Yu finally escaped a beating.

Back in his room, after washing up, he lay down on his million-dollar bed and fell into a sweet sleep.

The life of the rich was just so plain and boring.

...

After Tang's Mother left the guest room, Su Muyue, who had appeared to be asleep, slowly opened her eyes.

She had sobered up by now.

Or rather, she hadn't been as drunk as she appeared from the start.

In the car earlier, although she was drunk, she still had her wits about her.

But under the influence of alcohol, she didn't want to stay so rational.

She wanted to follow her instincts and do things she normally wouldn't dare to do, say things she normally wouldn't dare to say.

She tried to be like him, taking off her mask.

But now that she was completely sober, thinking back made her feel quite embarrassed.

She had only wanted to talk to him, how did it end up with her... kissing him on her own initiative?

"Great, I won't be able to face anyone tomorrow."

She covered her burning face and let out a soft sigh. She really shouldn't have drunk alcohol.

Thinking about this, she tossed and turned in bed until around three in the morning before finally falling asleep.

Early the next morning, a knock on the door woke her from her dreams.

"Muyue, are you up? It's time for breakfast."

Tang's Mother's voice came from outside the door.

"Yes, Auntie."

Su Muyue rubbed her bleary eyes and responded, reluctantly getting up to wash up.

Due to her poor sleep, the dark circles under her eyes were quite noticeable.

When she walked out, she ran into Tang Yu, who was wearing his pajamas.

Tang Yu was full of energy, but his expression turned strange when he saw Su Muyue.

He casually greeted her, "Morning."

[Why is this woman staring at me? Did she remember what happened last night?]

[Sigh, what a drunk. I'm never drinking with her again, or I won't be able to protect my pure and innocent self.]

Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Su Muyue's face began to burn again as she remembered what happened in the car last night.

She couldn't quite meet Tang Yu's eyes and just mumbled a "morning" before hurrying ahead with her head down.

[Perfect! This is how you should act, keep being distant with me, okay?]

[A female lead should act like a female lead. I'll graciously forgive you for yesterday's incident.]

Tang Yu followed behind her, feeling quite pleased. This woman finally seemed to be acting normal.

When they arrived at the dining table, breakfast was already prepared.

Today's breakfast was personally prepared by Tang's Mother early in the morning; she hadn't even let the cook help.

After all, this was her future daughter-in-law's first breakfast at their home, so special treatment was warranted.

"Good morning, Uncle and Auntie."

Su Muyue greeted Tang Gangcheng and his wife.

"Good morning, Muyue."

They both smiled and returned her greeting in unison.

They were quite satisfied with Su Muyue - she was beautiful and capable.

It's just that her personality was... a bit cold, making their son chase after her like a lovesick puppy for three years.

Tang Yu also greeted everyone before sitting down and helping himself to a plate of steamed buns.

"What are you doing? Don't just eat by yourself, serve some food for Muyue!"

Seeing Tang Yu eating on his own, Tang's Mother was displeased.

"She can get whatever she wants herself. She's not a child."

Tang Yu said with a pout.

[There's no way I'm serving her food. Never going to happen in this lifetime.]

[She can eat if she wants to, if not, whatever. I'm not Cao Cao, I have no interest in taking care of someone else's harem.]

[Women! They'll only get in the way of me surviving until the grand finale!]

Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Su Muyue suddenly felt her teeth itch with annoyance.

This bastard - it's just serving some food! It's not like it would kill him!

She put on an apologetic expression and said softly:

"It's alright, Uncle and Auntie. I can serve myself. I'm really sorry for causing trouble by drinking too much yesterday."

"Don't worry about it. It's all this worthless boy's fault for making you drink. Next time if he forces you to drink, tell Uncle and I'll beat him up."

Tang Gangcheng said with a kind smile.

"It really wasn't me who made her drink! You can ask Qin Ming if you don't believe me."

Tang Yu exclaimed in disbelief. He had become the professional scapegoat now, hadn't he?

"It's true, I was the one who insisted on drinking with him. It's my fault, Uncle, please don't scold him."

Su Muyue said with a guilty expression, biting her lip.

Her words made Tang Gangcheng and his wife even more pleased with her.

Look how considerate and understanding their future daughter-in-law was.

She would even lie to prevent their son from being scolded.

[Damn it, you evil woman, you're putting on an act again?]

[Now you're trying to win over my parents? For heaven's sake, is all this acting really necessary?]

[I get it, you're trying to manipulate me. You don't want to take the blame for breaking off the engagement, so you're setting me up to take the fall?]

[You scheming woman, fine, I admit defeat!]

After pondering for a while, Tang Yu finally figured it out.

After finishing a steamed bun, he spoke up.

"Dad, Mom, as you can see, we don't really get along. I think maybe this arranged marriage should..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Gangcheng had already pulled out his belt and was glaring at Tang Yu.

"What were you saying?"

Tang Yu wisely swallowed the rest of his sentence.

Early in the morning wasn't really the best time to get a beating.
