I'm the villainous Dragon King? I start with a free 100-pull gacha pull for the female lead!

Inside the lobby.

Zhou Shuqin's face turned pale and then flushed.

She never expected that no sooner had she agreed than this guy blurted everything out.

Is he timid and afraid of trouble?

I don't think he's afraid at all!

I'm doomed now.

Grandpa Su was stunned for a moment, seemingly digesting the sudden influx of information.

After a moment, he clapped his hands and laughed:

"I didn't expect you to be so frank, young friend Ye. Well then, I came in a hurry and didn't bring you any gifts."

"Take the cards on this table."

Consider this a gift from Grandpa to you when we first meet.

Haha, that's so dirty.

Ye Shu was taken aback, then gave a crooked smile.

Who would have thought that his casual remark would lead to such an unexpected surprise?

Just as Zhou Shuqin was about to speak, Su Mingyuan stopped her.

"Isn't it embarrassing enough already?"

Su Mingyuan lowered his voice, his tone unusually stern. Zhou Shuqin's lips moved, but in the end she said nothing, only staring at Ye Shu with resentful eyes.

It's like he robbed me of ten million.

Ye Shu said politely, "Grandpa, you're too kind. You just wanted to come, why did you bring a gift?"

But his hands moved very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Su Qingyue had already stuffed the black card on the table into his crotch.

After carefully putting away the black card, Ye Shu rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Grandpa, you gave me a gift, so I can't just leave without giving you one in return. How about this..."

He looked around blankly, then finally picked the mimosa plant from before and handed it to the old man. "This mimosa plant is a top-quality one that I carefully selected. I can tell you're the kind of person who likes flowers and plants. I'm giving this mimosa to you. Play with it when you have nothing to do; it's good for your mood, your health, and your longevity."

Su Qingyue blinked, looking at the mimosa plant with suspicion.

Why does this thing look so familiar?

She suddenly widened her eyes, covered her mouth, and almost screamed.

Isn't this Grandpa's favorite green cloud pattern?

The old man spent a lot of money to get this rare variety from an old horticulturist. He would display it at the door and show it off to everyone he met, treasuring it immensely.

Oh no, oh no, what a troublemaker!

She was about to plead with her grandfather when she saw the old man smiling as he accepted the mimosa, looking as if he had found a treasure.

"Old Xu, put this plant in my white porcelain vase and take good care of it."

"Yes, sir."

The butler respectfully accepted the mimosa.

Not only was Su Qingyue stunned, but Zhou Shuqin and the others were also completely dumbfounded.

What does this mean?

That kid must have bewitched Grandpa Su!

Zhou Shuqin gritted her teeth and vowed to embarrass this brat at the dinner party!

"Grandpa Su, I've come to see you on behalf of my husband."

Chen Yu, seemingly oblivious to the strange atmosphere, maintained a polite smile throughout. Seeing that the old man and Ye Shu had finished their conversation, he stepped forward at just the right moment and presented the gift box he had been holding with both hands.

"This is a thousand-year-old purple ginseng that Grandpa specially found for you. He hopes you will be healthy and live a long life."

"Your grandfather is so thoughtful."

The old man smiled as he accepted the gift box and handed it to Mr. Xu.

"Old Xu, from now on, pick a piece of ginseng root every day and make me some tea."

Then, he looked at Chen Yu and smiled:

"Since you're already here, let's have dinner together before you leave."

"Of course, Grandpa Su."

Chen Yu readily agreed, his smile remaining unchanged.

There's still some time before dinner.

Everyone sat in the lobby, drinking tea, chatting, and watching TV.

During this time, Ye Shu felt that something was wrong.

It seemed as if there was always a pair of eyes watching him from the shadows, not with the undisguised resentment of Zhou Shuqin, but with a kind of non-hostile gaze, seemingly more tinged with curiosity and fervor.

Ye Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, finally finding the source of the gaze—Chen Yu.

Damn it, this guy doesn't even look at his wife.

Why are you watching him?

Could this guy be from Chengdu?

Ye Shu felt a jolt run through her body, and her whole body went numb. She subconsciously moved closer to Su Qingyue.

"What are you doing?"

Su Qingyue frowned.

"I... my butt itches, can you scratch it for me?" Ye Shu whispered in Su Qingyue's ear, his voice pitiful, in a voice only the two of them could hear.

Su Qingyue: "..."

She nudged him lightly with her elbow and said in a low, annoyed voice, "Behave yourself!"

Ye Shu pouted and had no choice but to sit up straight, but her body still subconsciously moved closer to Su Qingyue, as if that would increase her sense of security.

To onlookers, his action looked like the intimate dependence between a young couple.

Zhou Shuqin saw this and was even more furious.

Chen Yu lowered his eyes, concealing the fervor in them.

As expected of that person, their intuition is sharp.

Grandpa Su took everything in, his face still bearing a kind smile.

Finally, it was time for dinner.

The group moved to the restaurant.

Tonight's dinner was specially arranged by Zhou Shuqin. It was a feast for the eyes and ears, with everything imaginable, including Australian lobster, Wagyu beef steak, matsutake mushroom soup, and more... It was extremely luxurious.

The atmosphere at the gathering was filled with joy and harmony.

As the old man started eating, everyone else followed suit.

Ye Shu couldn't contain himself any longer, and his chopsticks flew towards the largest pork knuckle, but before he got halfway there, Su Qingyue stopped him with a chopstick.

"Look at yourself, what kind of person are you?"

She glanced at Ye Shu and threatened in a low voice, "I'm your fiancée, you should be serving me food first at a time like this!"

"oh...."

Ye Shu reluctantly put down his chopsticks, responded, and stopped picking up the pork knuckle, instead picking up the braised pork belly.

Su Qingyue then gave a satisfied hum.

However, when she looked into the bowl, Ye Shu actually put two big, shiny pieces of fatty meat on her plate!

"I won't eat it!"

Su Qingyue stomped on his foot in anger and scolded him in a low voice.

"I'm not eating it either, it's too fatty." Ye Shu picked up a piece of braised pork with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, put it in her mouth with relish, and squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyue was furious.

Don't eat?

I won't eat it, I'll give it to her.

Is she his dumping ground?!

Does this guy even care about her as his fiancée anymore?!

Before she could react, Zhou Shuqin smiled and picked up a piece of hermit crab meat, put it in Ye Shu's bowl, and said with a smile, "Little Ye, this is a hermit crab that Auntie specially had air-freighted from the seaside. Try it."

"Auntie was just being silly and joking with you. Please don't take it to heart."

As she picked up some food, she said, seemingly casually:

"Speaking of hermit crabs, besides their delicious meat, their habits are also quite interesting. It is said that they spend their whole lives looking for a shell. Once they find one, they move in. When the shell is no longer suitable or is damaged, they go looking for a new one. They are always on the move and never have their own home."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Ye Shu smiled and accepted it, as if he didn't understand what she meant. Then, he picked up the hermit crab meat with his chopsticks and put it into Su Qingyue's bowl.

"Your aunt says this stuff is good, you should eat more."

Su Qingyue: "..."

That nasty woman is insulting you, can't you tell?!

She felt completely overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, Zhou Shuqin was still smiling as she served food to Ye Shu, introducing each dish with a barbed or sarcastic tone.

"This is French foie gras. It's said that these geese never have to work their entire lives; they just get fed until they're big and fat, then their livers are harvested and eaten. That's their fate. Isn't it rather tragic?"

"This is the belly of a bluefin tuna; it melts in your mouth, and it's not something that just anyone can eat."

"This is white truffle, sold by the gram. Just a sprinkle is enough to release its wonderful aroma. Take a sniff."

Ye Shu remained silent, only picking at his food.

He accepted all the food offered, turning it once in his bowl and then transferring it to Su Qingyue's.

"Come on, this is so delicious, eat more."

Zhou Shuqin couldn't stop laughing, thinking Ye Shu was silly, no wonder he was a country bumpkin who couldn't even see through being openly mocked.

Su Qingyue held her chopsticks, looking at the bowl full of food, and felt a burning sensation in her stomach, unable to eat a single bite.

She didn't understand whether Ye Shu could comprehend the meaning behind her aunt's words.

But she could understand it.

The biggest reason he sought out Ye Shu was that he didn't care about the snobs in his family or the sarcastic remarks.

But now she suddenly feels a little regretful.

She would rather Ye Shu raise his head now and curse at that bitch Zhou Shuqin like a shrew than let him be ridiculed like a fool.

Su Qingyue clutched her chest, feeling utterly bewildered.

It was clearly Ye Shu who was being ridiculed, and it was clearly best to say nothing at this moment.

Mingming Ye didn't care at all.

But why does she care?

It turns out that liking someone means not wanting to see them suffer, even if it's a suffering they themselves don't care about.

Finally, Zhou Shuqin picked up every dish on the table, introduced them all, and revealed her true intentions.

"Little Ye,"

She picked up her chopsticks, looking as if she were doing it for Su Qingyue's own good.

"Don't blame me for speaking harshly, but I watched Qingyue grow up, so naturally I don't want her to suffer. I'm not afraid of what people will say, but actually I've secretly told you..."

"You say you're a commoner, yet you claim to have served in the military."

"What skills can a soldier learn in two years? Look at you, you have no house, no car, not even a job. You're just living off Qingyue, relying on her to support you."

"They don't even have a decent talent."

Zhou Shuqin sighed and looked at Ye Shu:

"Qingyue is someone we've watched grow up, and we believe the old man wouldn't want to see her suffer, but your conditions really put us in a difficult position."

The old man sat in the main seat, not saying a word, but silently watching everyone present.

After Zhou Shuqin said that, Ye Shu hadn't made a move yet, but Su Qingyue couldn't take it anymore.

Go to hell with the Su family's assets.

Her gaze sharpened!

Snapped!

The chopsticks were slammed onto the table.

But it wasn't Su Qingyue.

But it was... him!

But Ye Shu slowly finished the last bite of rice in his bowl and smiled slightly at Zhou Shuqin.

"Difficult to handle? Then let's not do it."

Having said that, he finally stopped demonstrating his breathing, suddenly stood up, grabbed the edge of the table with one hand, and exerted force!

The table remained completely still.

"Damn it, who built their table and floor together like that?" Ye Shu cursed under his breath in exasperation, his cool and domineering demeanor shattering instantly.

The restaurant was deathly silent.

Zhou Shuqin's smugness and "heartache" froze.

Su Mingyuan's mouth dropped open.

Su Xiao dropped the chicken leg from her hand.

Chen Yu's glasses almost slipped off.

Su Qingyue: "..."

The emotion that Su Qingyue had finally felt vanished in an instant.

She looked at him with amusement.

I just thought he was a bit dull, like a cute fool.

Ye Shu scratched his head, but finally decided to finish the act. He took a step and, like a butterfly fluttering about, easily stepped onto the dining table, just like that drunken night.

Then, he looked down at everyone and smiled slightly.

"Let's dance."
