Chapter 65

She was, in a sense, half a fan of Su Chen.

Fans always view their idols through a filter.

No matter how furious she had been,

the moment she saw Su Chen’s face, half of her anger instantly dissipated.

Following that,

her gaze fell upon Su Chen’s full, powerful muscles.

She was completely stunned.

Biting her lip tightly, she was unable to speak.

Looking all the way down to the tent...

Liu Liu Xiaoli’s jaw dropped in total shock!

Ah, this...

Could her own daughter really handle this?

Sensing movement,

Su Chen vigilantly opened his eyes and stared at Liu Liu Xiaoli.

This woman was, after all, getting on in years.

Collagen loss was inevitable.

Any talk of her having a "youthful aura" was pure nonsense.

Yet, her skin condition was truly like that of someone under forty.

Very fair, very radiant.

Her features were not as stunning as in her youth, but still quite exquisite.

She possessed a rich, noble-lady air.

This was the real-life version of the Purple-Shirt Dragon King!

In her youth, she had been a top-tier beauty.

Even in old age, she still had plenty of charm!

The scene was, for a moment, extremely awkward.

Su Chen coughed and reminded her, "Ms. Liu, could you turn around first?"

"Let me put on my pants before we talk."

Perhaps it was the fan filter,

or perhaps Su Chen was just too charming,

but it triggered the long-dormant power within Liu Liu Xiaoli.

She actually started joking.

"As my son-in-law, you don't even have this much mental fortitude? Shy to this extent?"

Su Chen was having a mental breakdown.

Is that shyness?

I’m afraid I’ll scare you!

In the living room,

Liu Liu Tianxian still wore a look of terror.

However, the chaotic scene she had imagined did not occur.

Instead, it was unusually quiet.

She even heard her mother’s laughter.

What was going on?

Seeing Liu Liu Xiaoli walk over,

Liu Liu Tianxian immediately asked,

"Mom, what were you talking to Su Chen about?"

Liu Liu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner that your boyfriend was Su Chen?"

"Otherwise, things wouldn't have been so awkward today."

Liu Liu Tianxian’s pupils dilated, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

"Mom, judging by your tone... you seem very satisfied with Su Chen?"

Liu Liu Xiaoli smacked her lips.

"How should I put it... I’m half a fan of Su Chen."

"Not to mention his image; those Hollywood stars like Leo or Tom Cruise weren't as handsome as him when they were young."

"Their physiques can't compare to his either! And he’s so talented; the songs he writes are so good, and his singing is excellent too."

"I heard he can write scripts and handle investments? No Hollywood actor can match his capabilities."

"If he had American citizenship, he would definitely become an international superstar in Hollywood!"

Liu Liu Tianxian felt a wave of dizziness.

After all that,

her own mother was actually a die-hard fan of Su Chen?

She felt relieved instantly.

When it comes to chasing stars, women are all quite mindless.

For example, young girls who like Japanese bands or actors.

They become so obsessed they refuse to marry anyone else!

And a while ago, at that concert for the 300 Tao-powder boys,

countless brainless female fans chose to wear wedding dresses to attend.

These baffling operations

are simply incomprehensible in the eyes of men.

Liu Liu Tianxian certainly understood this.

Therefore, if her mother was truly a fan of Su Chen,

then more than half the battle was won!

"Mom, you’ve been praising Su Chen for a while now, what is your actual stance?"

"Are you trying to convince me to break up with him and drag me to Hollywood for a blind date, or..."

Liu Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at her.

"Su Chen is such a good kid, why break up?"

"He’s several years younger than you and so capable."

"He’ll definitely reach the level of top-tier capital in the entertainment industry in the future; you’re punching above your weight here."

"Don't you dare break up with him!"

Liu Liu Tianxian pursed her lips, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She had asked Su Chen to pretend to be her boyfriend,

and she had been quite anxious about it.

Who could have foreseen this outcome?

Liu Liu Tianxian yawned several times, feeling sleepy.

"Mom, if you’re this satisfied with Su Chen, then everything is perfect."

"You don’t have to worry about my relationship issues anymore."

"I’ll book your flight; let’s go back to the US tomorrow morning."

Liu Liu Xiaoli gritted her teeth.

"You really don't want to see your mother that much?"

"My seat isn't even warm yet, and you want to kick me across the ocean?"

Liu Liu Tianxian playfully stuck out her pink tongue.

"It’s mainly because you’re a third wheel! You’re disturbing our time together."

Liu Liu Xiaoli patted her leg.

"How about this, I’ll stay here for one day."

"One day is enough for me to have a good chat with Su Chen."

"And let him get to know his future mother-in-law better."

"I’ll leave tomorrow night, is that okay?"

Liu Liu Tianxian shrugged helplessly.

"Fine, since you’re my mom."

At this moment, Su Chen walked over

and greeted the mother and daughter.

Liu Liu Xiaoli asked in a low voice, "You two aren't sleepy yet, right?"

"I’ll order some takeout, we’ll eat, drink, and chat."

"Then you two can go to sleep, that’s no problem, right?"

Liu Liu Tianxian rubbed her hands.

"No need for takeout, Su Chen’s cooking is delicious."

"I’ll just trouble him to make a few dishes."

Oh?

Liu Liu Xiaoli’s eyes lit up again.

Her future son-in-law and idol had this skill too?

In the eyes of fans,

any tiny skill their idols possess

triggers mindless worship.

This is why many traffic idols

learn calligraphy, boxing, motorcycling, basketball, and so on.

They wave a brush a few times and write some terrible characters,

and fans will praise them as a calligraphy sage.

They dribble a ball a few times and shoot a few hoops,

and fans will praise them as the God of Basketball, Kun-Kun!

Upon learning that Su Chen was a good cook,

whether from a fan’s perspective or a mother-in-law’s perspective,

Liu Liu Xiaoli looked at Su Chen with renewed admiration.

"Then I’ll go get the red wine."

Liu Liu Xiaoli went to the wine cabinet

and picked out several bottles of '82 Lafite and Romanée-Conti.

Rich people like to affect refinement by drinking red wine.

Liu Liu Tianxian’s wine cabinet also had plenty of expensive red wine,

bottles costing over a hundred thousand or even several hundred thousand.

But she didn't really like drinking it;

she mostly used it to entertain friends.

After the meal was ready, Liu Liu Xiaoli tasted a few bites

and was amazed by Su Chen’s culinary skills!

"Liu Tianxian, with Su Chen, your stomach will be well taken care of in the future."

Liu Liu Tianxian grinned stiffly.

"Maybe..."

The three of them ate, drank, and chatted, the atmosphere very harmonious.

It actually gave Liu Liu Tianxian the illusion of a happy family of three!

Everything was so wonderful.

There was only one imperfection:

that Su Chen was only pretending to be her boyfriend.

For a moment,

Liu Liu Tianxian even wanted to make it real.

"Mom, stop drinking, you seem to have had too much," Liu Liu Tianxian advised.

Liu Liu Xiaoli, face flushed, waved her hand.

"Mom is happy today. You’re in a relationship, and you found such an excellent boy like Su Chen; Mom likes him too."

"Your life’s major event is settled, isn't that worth a few extra drinks?"

"You two, stop eating and drinking, go back to your room and sleep!"

Liu Liu Tianxian mumbled embarrassedly.

"I really am sleepy, I’ll go back to my room to sleep first."

"Su Chen, you sleep in that room."

Liu Liu Xiaoli looked confused.

"That’s not right, didn't Su Chen just sleep in your room?"

"Why... are you two separating? You must sleep in the same room."

Su Chen had to force an excuse.

"Auntie, it’s like this, I might have to handle a lot of business later."

"A lot of people are calling and messaging, I’m afraid of disturbing Sister Liu Tianxian."

Liu Liu Xiaoli sighed.

"Fine, sleep separately then, it’s not like one day makes a difference."

Liu Liu Xiaoli had originally wanted to eavesdrop on the action!

It seemed that was off the table.

Because her future son-in-law was the real deal,

she couldn't imagine

what kind of intense scenes would happen if they slept together.

Could her daughter handle it?

Liu Liu Tianxian worried, "Mom, you’ve had so much to drink, I should sleep with you."

Liu Liu Xiaoli waved her hand.

"I know my own tolerance, go get some rest."

Su Chen’s Nine Yang Body gave him an exceptionally powerful spirit.

The short rest he’d had earlier

was enough to ensure he wouldn't need sleep all night.

By now, it was 2:00 AM.

Liu Liu Tianxian was exhausted, sleepy, and had been drinking,

so she fell asleep almost instantly.

On the other hand, Su Chen’s future mother-in-law

lived in the US for a long time,

so her body clock was inverted.

Plus, having drunk so much,

she kept running to the bathroom and had vomited twice.

Coincidentally, just as Su Chen came out of the bathroom and washed his hands,

he saw Liu Liu Xiaoli approaching, holding her forehead.

She splashed some water on her face, regaining a bit of energy.
