"Linlang, why are you reacting so intensely? Don't want me to meet your parents?"

Chen Xuan chuckled softly, secretly testing Su Linlang's thoughts.

Su Linlang's expression was somewhat odd, "Don't overthink it, that's not what I mean."

"It's mainly... The relationship between you and me right now is rather awkward. Let's wait a bit, give me some time to mentally prepare."

Chen Xuan didn't think much of it, nodding with a smile, "Alright, then I'll respect your opinion."

Su Linlang responded with a tender smile.

Feeling satisfied with Chen Xuan's respect for her wishes, she felt she had met a good man.

Back home, Su Linlang was a different person from when she stepped out in the morning.

Her face no longer held a serious expression but was filled with a sweet smile.

After dinner, the two held hands and went for a walk outside, chatting and laughing like a couple in love.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but express his emotions, thinking this is how a couple should be.

With Lin Wanxi, he had almost never experienced such ease and joy.

But deep down, he could never forget Lin Wanxi and found it hard to let go.

At half-past nine, the two returned home and took a shower.

Then faced the issue of sleeping arrangements.

Su Linlang had a shy expression, "Chen Xuan, technically I shouldn't be sleeping in a separate room from you, but right now I..."

Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, "It's okay, I understand what you mean."

"I'll continue sleeping in the next bedroom; when you fully move on, we can discuss what comes next."

Su Linlang expressed gratitude, "Chen Xuan, thank you for your understanding and consideration."

"You don't need to sound so formal," Chen Xuan waved his hand with a smile, "Good night, have a good sleep."

Su Linlang hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to approach and kissed Chen Xuan on the cheek, "Good night!"

Her face turned crimson, she quickly slipped into the bedroom, as if she had done something wrong.

Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head, opened the door and entered the other bedroom.

Just as he thought about sleeping, Xiao Yiyi called.

"Brother-in-law, are you really with Teacher Su now?"

It was clear from Xiao Yiyi's tone that something was off, carrying a slight grievance.

Chen Xuan knew he couldn't hide it from her, "Yes, I'm living with Linlang right now."

"So... What about my cousin? Are you two just done?" Xiao Yiyi hesitated to say.

Chen Xuan shook his head, smiling to himself, wondering what she meant by 'done,' the little girl was always so concise.

"I don't know either, let's see how it goes."

"It's none of your business; just focus on studying at school."

Chen Xuan softly responded.

"If you really break up with my cousin, will things change between us? Will you... not care about me anymore?"

Xiao Yiyi's mood seemed a bit low, appearing full of sadness.

Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly, "Yiyi, after all we've known each other, I truly see you as a sister."

"No matter what happens between your cousin and me, it won't affect our relationship."

"Oh, hearing you say that makes me feel a lot better."

Xiao Yiyi sighed, "How did you end up with Teacher Su? Did you start your feelings secretly during the last outing?"

"Had I known, I wouldn't have invited you to come along..."

Chen Xuan found himself amused, "Alright Yiyi, your mind doesn't have much capacity, don't overthink."

"If anything comes up, just call me, I'll be there whenever you need."

"I want to call you over now, what time can you get here?" Xiao Yiyi quickly responded.

Chen Xuan was stunned, "You sneaky little girl always finding the gaps!"

"Cut it out, I'm getting ready to sleep."

He didn't talk more with Xiao Yiyi and hung up the phone directly.

Not waiting to put down the phone, a message from Xiao Yiyi came through—

Brother-in-law, what should I do when I miss you?

Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly, feeling slightly sad, not replying to the message, unsure of what to say.

...

The night passed.

The next day Su Linlang was off and didn't go to school.

The two went out shopping and watched a movie together, having a great time.

Meanwhile.

As the bald man was captured, Su Linlang's father, Su Dahai, quickly got the news.

"Zhang Feipeng dared to lay a hand on my daughter, does he really think the Sea Dragon King is such an easy target?"

Su Dahai's expression turned cold.

His trusted subordinate promptly replied, "Lord Dragon, our Sea Dragon Gang and Crocodile Gang are equally matched overall, neither can overpower the other."

"That's why they resorted to such means, trying to hold the young lady to force you to compromise."

Humph!

Su Dahai snorted coldly, "Typical behavior of vile men! The Crocodile Gang only knows how to use these low and despicable tactics!"

"Immediately arrange for people to secretly protect my daughter's safety, don't allow any mishaps!"

"Lord Dragon, I heard some news, it seems the young lady has a boyfriend, it's suspected they're already living together," the trusty subordinate responded cautiously.

What?

Upon hearing this, Su Dahai couldn't hold back, "My daughter, Su Dahai's daughter, cannot be touched by just any man!"

"Arrange for someone to go over there and take that kid down for me immediately!"
