I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 592 Dating for the Purpose of Marriage
Come to think of it, it has been a while since I last came to the Chu family.

The gate of the manor seemed to have undergone a new round of decoration. After the Rolls-Royce drove into the gate, it slowly stopped by 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 perfect, Master Su."

"it is good."

Su Chengyi exchanged glances with Uncle Gao in the driver's seat, nodded to indicate that he could rest assured, and then got up and got out of the car.

Although the street lights in this manor were working properly, the area it covered was too large after all. Looking around, most of the area was pitch black, and only the villa in front of him had lights on.

It is a bit like the cold and mysterious ancient buildings that often appear in medieval novels.

Su Chengyi thought about this and suddenly felt that if he was too rich, he would get into a lot of trouble.

It would seem unworthy of my status if I didn't build such a big house, but after finally moving in, I felt that it didn't seem like a normal "home".

It seems that Fury's dog home should be about 100 square meters, excluding the space left for this guy to run and play.

Damn it, this kid really became the young master.

……

Su Chengyi buttoned up his suit and looked up at the entrance of the villa, where a long welcoming queue had already formed, probably all of them were the Chu family's nannies and other staff.

Butler Han switched to his daily work state the moment he got out of the car. He leaned forward slightly and raised his hand respectfully.

"Master Su, this way please."

"Ah."

Su Chengyi nodded, took a deep breath, and the hot air he exhaled condensed into white mist in the night air.

Butler Han just said that there are a total of fifty-seven people on the list invited to the dinner today, plus the nannies and employees lined up at the door, there are at least seventy people.

With so many people here, the villa is so quiet. It seems no one is talking. It's a bit abnormal.

The two walked along the cobblestone road towards the gate of the villa. The warm yellow street lights stretched their shadows very long, and for a moment, the only sound they could hear was 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'll be punched in the face as soon as I walk in the door.

Otherwise, they would be caught and used for some biological experiments, which is never a good thing.

The gate of the villa that looked magnificent during the day now feels a bit like the "gateway to hell".

Su Chengyi's expression seemed calm, and no one could have imagined that his mind was actually filled with such a mess of thoughts at this moment.

However, these thoughts disappeared in the next second.

because--

"Su Chengyi!"

Miss Chu saw his figure from afar, so she picked up the hem of her dress, ran out of the door, and skipped down the stone steps.

The evening breeze made her hair rise and fall, and her white dress emitted a soft glow under the light, giving her smile a layer of unreal dream filter.

She ran out against the light like this, it was like a scene from a fairy tale.

For example, when Cinderella escaped from the midnight party and dropped her crystal slipper.

Su Chengyi was still a little dazed when a certain runaway princess threw herself into his arms so accurately.

Butler Han, who was following behind, saw his young lady in such a state, and the words of persuasion got stuck in his throat. He hesitated for a long time and could not utter a word. In the end, he just sighed secretly.

The door of the villa just now looked like the "gate to hell", but now that it has become the background of Miss Chu, it has quietly transformed into "the gate from which angels will come out".

"You're here! Was there a traffic jam? You've worked so hard."

Chu Qingmian raised her face with a smile in Su Chengyi's arms. Only then did he notice that she had put on shiny eye makeup today, which made her eyes look more beautiful and lively, like a deer foraging in the forest in the early morning.

"Fortunately."

Su Chengyi shook his head. Although there was some traffic jam on the road, with Uncle Gao's driving skills as an experienced driver, no one in the car would feel uncomfortable at all.

"That's good~"

Chu Qingmian seemed to be in a really good mood, with a sweet smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"What's silly about it?"

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows and asked with his head down.

"Hey, guess!"

Chu Qingmian blinked, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth became more obvious because she was trying hard to hold back a smile.

"You picked the menu for tonight yourself, so you're eager to eat it. I'm happy that we can eat when I get here."

"No! But it was indeed my choice. You must try the Parmesan cheese soufflé later. You don't like sweet things, so... No, that's not why!"

Chu Qingmian realized that he had diverted the topic, so he glared at him and pouted:

"Guess again!"

"It's because you're sleepy and want to finish the dinner early and go to bed early."

"I'm ignoring you, Su Chengyi!"

Chu Qingmian snorted, poked his face with his finger, and spoke again:

"Because I'm just very happy that I can finally introduce my real boyfriend to everyone~ Humph, this way no one will think about introducing me to a marriage partner anymore!
And, most importantly, everyone will know how awesome and excellent my boyfriend is!"

When saying these two adjectives, Miss Chu deliberately lengthened her tone and shook her head like a little lucky cat.

"Are you stupid?"

Su Chengyi bent his knuckles and tapped her head lightly.

"certainly not."

Chu Qingmian covered his forehead and curled his lips.

"Humph, I'm just happy anyway! Happy, happy, happy!"

"Confirmed, it's an idiot."

Su Chengyi rubbed the place where he had just hit with the palm of his hand, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

After Miss Chu appeared, the atmosphere of the entire Chu family manor seemed to have changed. She really had a magical power that made people feel excited for no reason.

"Okay, shall we go?"

Chu Qingmian blinked, and her long eyelashes fluttered twice, making her look as delicate as a piece of jade.

"it is good."

Su Chengyi nodded and suddenly smelled the fragrance coming from the ends of her hair.

Different from the fructose smell brought by previous shampoos, this one has a light osmanthus fragrance, which is particularly pleasant.

"Perfume?"

Su Chengyi couldn't help but ask.

"what?"

Chu Qingmian was slightly stunned, then realized that he was asking about the smell of her body. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little shy.

"Bath incense."

She looked away and answered as if nothing had happened.

"I see."

Su Chengyi nodded seriously.

Show your charming eyes to the blind man!
Chu Qingmian snorted and turned away. "Let's go."

"it is good."

Su Chengyi agreed and was about to move forward, but just as he took a step, the furious Miss Chu grabbed the corner of his clothes and pulled him back.

"what happened?"

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"cough."

Chu Qingmian stood there, coughed, and gave a hint with his eyes.

"what?"

Su Chengyi looked at her, not realizing what she meant.

Miss Chu took a deep breath and hinted with her eyes again.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"What do you mean?"

However, Su Chengyi still didn't understand.

"You piece of wood!!!"

Chu Qingmian couldn't help but look up and glare at him.

"Hold me!"

It turned out to be the case.

Su Chengyi said "Oh", took a step back and spread out his palm to signal.

"Is this okay, Princess?"

"Humph!"

Chu Qingmian put her hand into his palm and was easily coaxed.

The nannies who were lined up at the door to welcome them were initially a bit tired and absent-minded like workers, but when they saw this scene, they all smiled with satisfaction and kindness.

Su Chengyi suddenly felt like he was walking down the aisle with his bride. When he entered the villa, he found that all the relatives and friends had gathered to welcome the newlyweds. Then the wedding march rang out, and the pastor asked with a smile on his face, "Are you willing to marry this woman as your wife?"

However, it does not.

In the huge villa hall, there was a long table that could accommodate everyone tonight. It was full from beginning to end. Everyone looked towards the door in unison, waiting for the protagonist to appear.

This feeling of oppression is hard to describe, but it is self-evident.

Su Chengyi greeted everyone's gazes with a calm face, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

At this moment, I suddenly felt someone scratching my palm gently, and it felt slightly itchy.

Su Chengyi turned his head inconspicuously to look at the person next to him. Chu Qingmian's eyes were looking into his without any obstruction, and it was clearly written: "It's okay, I'm here."

So Su Chengyi gave her a look that said "it's okay", and the two of them clasped their fingers together, both using a little force.

"welcome."

The person sitting at the end of the long table suddenly spoke, and as she finished speaking, applause broke out among the table.

Su Chengyi looked past the applause and saw Wei Peilan wearing a turquoise cheongsam today. She looked more approachable than her usual business suit. She was the kind of beautiful and fair wife in the conventional impression of palace fighting dramas.

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 take a seat."

Wei Peilan didn't seem to have the intention of smiling in this situation, he just nodded.

A waiter came forward and guided the two to their seats.

Walking all the way from the end of the long table to the first seat, Su Chengyi could feel the scrutinizing eyes always following him closely.

And these people don't seem to think it's impolite to use such inquiring eyes to look at someone they meet for the first time. To put it simply, it feels like they are examining an antique at an auction.

A thorn in the back, Su Chengyi thought silently, like a thorn in the back, a metaphor for extreme uneasiness caused by fear.

Idiom meaning: Honesty does not deceive me.

Han Bing never lied to me.

This thing is really hard to understand unless you experience it yourself. You have to truly experience it to know it.

It's really the kind of feeling that gives me goosebumps all over my body and makes me feel inexplicably disgusted.

"The time is right."

Wei Peilan tapped the cup gently with his fork, making a "ding ding" sound.

"Good evening, everyone. I sincerely invite you to this gathering. Thank you for your honor."

Here we go, the polite conversation before the dinner begins.

Su Chengyi sat upright in his seat and exchanged glances with Miss Chu opposite him, who seemed a little absent-minded.

Probably because she was obsessed with that something of hers, the Parmesan cheese soufflé.

Except for the two of them, everyone present listened attentively to Wei Peilan's speech, as if she was a representative making an important speech on the international situation.

Su Chengyi's eyes fell on the shadow cast by the chandelier. The large chandelier with flowing light seemed to be a style that all the rich people in the world would choose.

It seems very dangerous. If it falls down, there will be heavy casualties among the people on the table.

Su Chengyi was thinking about these random things when Wei Peilan suddenly changed the subject and stood up with a glass of wine in his hand.

"It is my honor. Now, please allow me to introduce to you the protagonist of this evening."

As soon as she said this, Su Chengyi's wandering thoughts were forced back into his mind. His relaxed nerves instantly tensed up, and his originally collapsed back straightened up again.

"That's Mr. Su Chengyi, who is sitting on my left right now."

Wei Pelan forced a smile on his robotic face, but it looked really stiff.

Su Chengyi secretly complained that you should stop laughing because it was scary, and at the same time, he followed her guidance, picked up the wine glass and stood up.

"The founder of X1 Game Studio, a young talent who is studying law at Kyoto University. Of course, he is also the boyfriend that our Mianmian is dating with the intention of getting married."

Wei Peilan slowly introduced all his identities.

Su Chengyi felt a little embarrassed when he heard someone introduce himself in such a serious manner.

Moreover, the people present didn't actually need such a deliberate introduction. Before attending this dinner, they must have already privately figured out his family background.

Maybe they have already gone through this several times, but now they still have to pretend that they are learning this information for the first time, and smile at each other in surprise.

Except for those related to the identity of "Zhi Jinchen", the rest should have been exposed.

Thinking of this, Su Chengyi suddenly felt comforted. At least there was still a part of himself that was hidden, and these people's prying eyes could never explore.

……

Wei Peilan waited patiently for the tacit "conversation" to end before she continued with a forced smile:
"Say hello to everyone, Chengyi."

Her call of "Chengyi" made Su Chengyi's hair stand on end.

It feels like a witch in a fairy tale smiling and holding a poisoned apple approaching, and then the devil whispers.

But the current situation does not allow him to pay attention to these things.

Su Chengyi straightened his mind and glanced across the long table.

"Good evening everyone, I'm Su Chengyi, and I'm dating Miss Chu Qingmian with the intention of getting married."
