Chapter 592: Dating for the Purpose of Marriage
Thinking about it carefully, it has been a while since the last time I came to the Chu family.
The gate of the manor seemed to have undergone a new round of decoration. After the Rolls-Royce drove through the gate, it slowly parked on the roadside.
Butler Han got out of the car first, strode around to the back seat, and opened the door for Su Chengyi.
“The time is just right, Master Su.”
"Okay."
Su Chengyi looked at Uncle Gao in the driver's seat, nodded to indicate that he could rest assured, and got up and got out of the car.
Although the street lights in this manor are working properly, the area is too large after all. Looking at it, most of the area is dark, and only the villa in front of you has lights on.
It’s a bit like the cold and mysterious ancient buildings that often appear in medieval novels.
Su Chengyi thought like this and suddenly felt that if he was too rich, he would be in a lot of trouble.
Not building such a big house seems a bit unworthy of one's status, but after really struggling to live in it, it feels a little less like a normal "home".
From this point of view, Furui’s dog home should have an area of 100 square meters, excluding the area for this guy to run around and have fun.
Damn it, I really made this boy a young master.
......
Su Chengyi buttoned up his suit and raised his head to look at the door of the villa. There was already a long line of people waiting there to welcome them. They were probably all nanny employees of the Chu family. .
Butler Han had already switched to his daily working state the moment he got out of the car. He leaned slightly and raised his hand respectfully.
"Master Su, please come this way."
"Yes."
Su Chengyi nodded, took a deep breath, and the hot breath condensed in the night air Into white mist.
Butler Han just said that there were fifty-seven people on the list of people invited to attend the dinner today. Including the nannies and employees lined up at the door, there were at least seventy people.
With so many people, this villa was so quiet, and no one seemed to speak, which was a bit abnormal.
The two walked along the stone road towards the gate of the villa. The warm yellow street lamp stretched the shadows very long, and for a while they could only hear the sound of their footsteps echoing in the huge manor.
In this situation, Su Chengyi felt more and more like he was on the set of "Get Out".
I always feel like I will be slapped as soon as I enter the door.
Otherwise, he will be arrested for some biological experiments, which is not a good thing.
The gate of the villa that looked magnificent during the day now felt a bit like the "gateway to hell".
Su Chengyi's expression seemed calm. No one could have imagined that he was actually filled with all these messy thoughts at the moment.
However, these thoughts disappeared in the next second.
Because——
“Su Chengyi!”
Miss Chu saw his figure from a distance, so she held up the skirt of her dress, ran out, and jumped down the stone steps.
The evening breeze blew the tips of her hair up and down, and the white dress exuded a soft light under the light, coating her smile with an unreal dream filter.
She ran out against the light like this, much like a scene that would only appear in a fairy tale.
For example, the time when Cinderella ran away from the midnight banquet and dropped her glass slipper.
Su Chengyi was still a little dazed, as a certain runaway princess threw herself into his arms with such accuracy.
Butler Han, who was following behind, saw his eldest lady in such a state, and his words of persuasion were stuck in his throat. He hesitated for a long time and did not say anything. In the end, he just sighed secretly.
The door of the villa just now looked like "the door to hell", but now that it has become the background of Miss Chu, it has quietly transformed into "the door from which angels will run out".
"You're here! Are you stuck in traffic? Thank you so much for your hard work."
Chu Qingmian raised her face with a smile in Su Chengyi's arms, and then he noticed that she had applied it today The sparkling eye makeup makes her eyes even more beautiful and lively, like a deer foraging in the forest in the early morning.
“Not bad.”
Su Chengyi shook his head. Although there were some traffic jams on the road, Uncle Gao, an experienced driver, would definitely not make anyone in the car feel uncomfortable at all with his driving skills.
"That's good~"
Chu Qingmian seemed to be in a really good mood, with a sweet smile hanging from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
"What about Shale?"
Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows and lowered his head and asked.
"Hey, guess!"
Chu Qingmian blinked, and the dimples at the corners of his mouth became more obvious because he deliberately suppressed a smile.
“You personally selected tonight’s menu, so I really want to eat it. When I come, I can start eating, so I’m happy.”
“No! But it was indeed my choice. Oh, you must try the Parmesan cheese soufflé later. You don’t like sweet things, so...that’s not the reason.”
I realized that this guy had diverted the topic, Chu. Qingmian glared at him and pouted:
"Guess again and again!"
"It's because you are sleepy and want to finish the dinner early and go to bed early."
"I'm ignoring you Su Chengyi!"
Chu Qingmian let out a "hum", stretched out her finger to poke his face, and said again:
"Because I am very happy that I can finally introduce my real boyfriend to everyone~ Hum, like this No one will ever think about introducing me to a marriage partner again!
And, the most important thing is, everyone will know how awesome and outstanding my boyfriend is! "
When speaking these two adjectives, Miss Chu specially lengthened her tone and shook her head like a little lucky cat.
"Are you an idiot? "
Su Chengyi raised his knuckles and knocked her head gently.
"No. ”
Chu Qingmian covered her forehead and curled her lips.
"Huh, I'm just happy anyway! Happy, happy, happy!"
"Confirmed, it's an idiot."
Su Chengyi rubbed the place he just hit with the palm of his hand. I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth.
After Miss Chu appeared on the scene, the atmosphere of the entire Chu family manor seemed to have changed. She indeed had a magical power about her that made people jump for no reason.
"Okay, let's go then?"
Chu Qingmian blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering twice, looking very polished.
"Okay."
Su Chengyi nodded and suddenly smelled the fragrance coming from the tips of her hair.
Different from the fructose smell brought by the previous shampoo, it has a faint scent of osmanthus, which smells particularly good.
"Perfume?"
Su Chengyi couldn't help but ask.
"Huh?"
Chu Qingmian was slightly startled, then realized that he was asking about the smell of his body. He didn't know why, but suddenly felt a little shy.
“Bath Incense.”
She averted her eyes and replied calmly.
“That’s it.”
Su Chengyi nodded seriously.
Show your charming eyes to the blind man!
Chu Qingmian hummed and turned around. "Let's go."
"Okay."
Su Chengyi agreed and raised his foot to move forward. However, as soon as he took the step forward, he was grabbed by the corner of his clothes and pulled back by the furious Miss Chu.
"What's wrong?"
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows in confusion.
“Ahem.”
Chu Qingmian stood there and coughed, her eyes hinting.
"Huh?"
Su Chengyi looked at her and didn't know what she meant.
Miss Chu took a deep breath and gave hints in her eyes again.
“Cough cough cough!”
"What do you mean?"
However, Su Chengyi still failed to understand.
“You piece of wood!!!”
Chu Qingmian couldn’t help but raise her eyes and glare at him.
“You have to hold me!”
I see.
Su Chengyi said "Oh", took a step back, and spread his palms to indicate.
“Is this okay, princess.”
“Humph!”
Chu Qingmian put her hand into his and was easily coaxed. .
The nannies who lined up at the door to welcome her were a little tired and absent-minded like workers at first. But now when they saw this scene, they all put on their happy and kind smiles.
Su Chengyi suddenly felt like she was leading the bride down the red carpet. When she walked into the villa, she would find her relatives and friends gathered together to welcome the newlyweds. Then the wedding march of "Dang Dang Dang Dang" played, and the pastor asked with a smile on the stage, "Do you want this woman to be your wife and enter into a marriage contract with her?"
However, it was not.
There is a long table in the huge villa hall that can accommodate everyone tonight. It is full from beginning to end. Everyone is looking at the door in unison, waiting for the protagonist to appear.
This feeling of oppression is difficult to describe, but it is self-evident.
Su Chengyi greeted everyone's looking eyes with a calm face, but actually she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
At this moment, I suddenly felt someone gently scratching my palm, causing it to itch slightly.
Su Cheng turned his head and looked at the person next to him without any trace. Chu Qingmian's eyes were looking into his eyes without any obstruction, and it was clearly written: "It doesn't matter, I'm here."
So Su Chengyi also gave her an "It's okay" look, and the two of them clasped their fingers together, both exerting a little strength.
"Welcome."
The person sitting at the end of the long table suddenly spoke, and as her words fell, there was a burst of applause from the table.
Su Chengyi glanced through such applause. Wei Peilan was wearing a green cheongsam today. It seemed to be easier to talk to than the usual business suit. In the conventional impression, in the house fighting drama The kind of beautiful and fair lady.
There are empty seats on her left and right sides, which seem to be prepared for the two protagonists who will appear at the end.
"Please sit down."
Wei Peilan didn't seem to have any intention of smiling on such occasions, and just nodded.
A waiter came forward and guided the two of them to their seats.
From the end of the long table to the first seat, Su Chengyi could feel the scrutinizing and sizing eyes following him closely.
And these people don't seem to think it is impolite to use such inquiring eyes on people they meet for the first time. To describe it, it feels like they are looking at an antique at an auction.
The thorns on the back, Su Chengyi thought silently, like the awns and thorns on the back, it is a metaphor for being extremely uneasy due to fear.
Idiom meaning: Don’t deceive me sincerely.
Han Bing also sincerely does not deceive me.
This thing is really difficult to understand if you are not immersed in it. You must really feel it to understand.
It is indeed that kind of feeling of goosebumps all over the body and inexplicable discomfort.
"The time is just right."
Wee Peilan tapped the cup lightly with his fork, and there was a "ding" sound.
"Everyone, good evening. I sincerely invite you to come here, and thank you for your honor."
This is the beginning of the polite conversation before the dinner begins.
Su Chengyi sat upright and looked at Miss Chu across from her, but the latter seemed a little absent-minded.
Probably he was thinking about her soufflé.
Except for the two of them, everyone here listened intently to Wei Peilan's words, as if she was some representative delivering an important speech about the international situation.
Su Chengyi's eyes fell on the shadow cast by the chandelier. The large and colorful chandelier seemed to be a style that all the rich people in the world would choose.
It looks very dangerous. If it falls down, the people on the table will suffer heavy casualties.
Su Chengyi was thinking about all of this when Wei Peilan suddenly changed the subject and stood up with a wine glass in hand.
". It's an honor. Then, please allow me to introduce tonight's protagonist."
As soon as she said these words, Su Chengyi's wandering thoughts were forced to return, and his nerves relaxed. Instantly tense, the originally slumped back straightened up again.
"That's Mr. Su Chengyi who is sitting on my left right now."
A smile appeared on Wei Peilan's robot-like face, which looked really stiff.
While secretly complaining that you should stop laughing, Su Chengyi followed her lead, picked up the wine glass and stood up.
“The founder of X1 Game Studio, a young talent studying in the Law Department of Peking University. Of course, he is also the boyfriend we are dating with the intention of getting married.”
Wei Peilan slowly introduced all his identities.
Su Chengyi felt a little embarrassed when he heard others introduce himself in such a formal way.
Moreover, the people here don't actually need such a deliberate introduction. Before coming to this dinner, they must have already figured out his family background in private.
Maybe they have gone back and forth several times, but now they still have to pretend to know this information for the first time, and look at each other in surprise and smile.
Except for the one related to the identity of "Zhi Jinchen", the others should have been almost skinned.
Thinking of this, Su Chengyi suddenly felt a little relieved. At least there was still a part of himself that was hidden, which these people's voyeuristic eyes could never explore.
...
Wei Peilan waited patiently for everyone's tacit "conversation" to end, and then continued with her smiling expression:
"Say hello to everyone, Chengyi."
Her cries of Chengyi made Su Chengyi's hair stand on end.
It feels like the witch in the fairy tale smiles and holds the poison apple close to it and then the devil whispers.
But the current situation does not allow him to pay attention to these.
Su Chengyi straightened his mind and glanced across the long table.
"Good evening everyone, I am Su Chengyi, and I am dating Miss Chu Qingmian for the purpose of getting married."
