Chapter 66

Liu Liu Xiaoli had drunk quite a bit,

but she wasn't completely wasted.

She still had some consciousness in her hazy state.

Using the alcohol as an excuse,

she grabbed Su Chen’s hand and pressed him into the corner of the wall.

"Tell me the truth, are you and Liu Tianxian faking it?"

Su Chen was stunned and immediately tried to bluff.

"Of course not, she is my girlfriend!"

Liu Liu Xiaoli sneered.

"Do you think... you acted so well that there wasn't a single flaw?"

"I’ve lived this long and seen countless people."

"Whether it’s siblings, lovers, a married couple, or some other relationship, I can tell at a glance."

"You two did act quite convincingly; I didn't see it at first."

"But just now, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it felt..."

"You two are definitely faking it, right?"

Ginger is still spicier when it’s old.

An old fox is still an old fox.

Su Chen helplessly admitted it.

"Auntie, you guessed right."

"Sister Liu Tianxian, I can only help you this much!"

"Since the secret is out, you can settle the rest of the accounts with Sister Liu Tianxian slowly; I’m heading back."

Liu Liu Xiaoli held him down firmly: "You’re not going back!"

"You think you can just leave after coming here? Since you’re not Liu Tianxian’s boyfriend, I won't be polite."

Su Chen was stunned.

"Auntie, what do you mean?"

"Go bolt the door," Liu Liu Xiaoli said loudly.

Su Chen: ???

Is it this terrifying?

Su Chen emphasized,

"I don't take advantage of women when they’re drunk."

Liu Liu Xiaoli patted the wall.

"Let me tell you again, I’m not drunk, I’m sober."

"I, Liu Liu Xiaoli, am a fan of yours, Su Chen, and I think you’re quite good."

"Since you’re not my daughter’s boyfriend, you can’t be my son-in-law."

"So, can’t we just openly have something happen?"

Seeing Su Chen still not moving,

Liu Liu Xiaoli slammed the door shut and slid the bolt.

She slowly knelt down...

Happiness had come so suddenly!

Su Chen had been wondering how to poach Chen Jinfei’s territory,

and it had happened this quickly?

Sure enough,

a handsome and talented young man

really needs to protect himself at all times when out in the world.

There are just too many tigresses eyeing him.

Su Chen, this piece of fresh meat,

was about to fall victim to a poisonous hand tonight!

Liu Liu Xiaoli was not in a completely unconscious state;

she knew very well what she was doing.

But the effect of the alcohol could not be ignored.

Without the alcohol’s influence,

she might not have been this impulsive.

5:00 AM.

After another round ended,

Liu Liu Xiaoli washed her face vigorously

and finally became completely sober.

She slowly wrapped herself in a coat, her expression serious.

"Su Chen, don't ever tell Liu Tianxian about today."

"We can continue to maintain this relationship in the future; we don't see each other more than a few times a year anyway."

"But I hope you can be with Liu Tianxian."

"You’ve probably seen plenty of news about her and me; you know how much I value this precious daughter."

As a single mother,

Liu Liu Xiaoli had taken Liu Liu Tianxian to the US when she was very young.

She had raised her alone in a foreign land.

She even treated Liu Liu Tianxian as her own private property,

forbidding her from dating before the age of 30.

Firstly, she worried that dating would affect her career.

Secondly, because once she started dating, she would spend less time with her.

And once she married, she would leave her entirely.

Therefore, it wasn't until Liu Liu Tianxian turned 30

that she allowed her daughter to date and marry.

But it had to be a Hollywood actor from the US!

Marrying an American meant she wouldn't have to live abroad year-round,

and a Hollywood actor could take her along to strive in Hollywood.

From the perspective of love and career,

this was the perfect standard for a spouse.

However, Su Chen was indeed a variable.

He didn't have American citizenship.

If Liu Liu Tianxian dated or married him,

she would have to live in China year-round.

But Su Chen was too handsome, too charming, too talented, and had too much potential.

He was powerful enough to make Liu Liu Xiaoli ignore his nationality.

Even she herself had been swept off her feet by Su Chen!

After her passionate encounter with Su Chen,

Liu Liu Xiaoli had a bold idea.

Since she and Su Chen were already like this,

why not let her daughter be with him too?

That way, the mother and daughter wouldn't have to be separated.

Her precious daughter would always stay by his side.

That would be very comfortable.

It was just that Liu Liu Xiaoli was worried

that Liu Liu Tianxian wouldn't be able to accept it right away!

She needed to find the right time to tell her.

Su Chen confessed, "I’ll state this beforehand: I have a girlfriend."

"Even if I date Sister Liu Tianxian, it’s impossible to marry her."

Liu Liu Xiaoli smiled bitterly: "You should know that Liu Tianxian isn't the type to be obsessed with romance."

"She is a total non-marriage advocate; she will never register a marriage with anyone in this life."

"So... it works out perfectly!"

Su Chen shrugged.

"Alright then, I promise you, I’ll try my best to win her over."

"But whether she’ll like me, that’s hard to say."

Liu Liu Xiaoli’s gaze was firm.

"My daughter’s standards for a spouse are too high; she hasn't looked twice at so many handsome men, idols, and billionaires in the industry."

"But I have confidence in you."

After the two reached an agreement,

Liu Liu Xiaoli leaned against the wall and slowly walked to the living room.

Su Chen followed closely behind.

The awkward part was

that Liu Liu Tianxian was sitting on the sofa, staring straight at them.

People with a guilty conscience

don't dare to look others in the eye.

Originally, Liu Liu Xiaoli had absolute authority in front of Liu Liu Tianxian,

but now her eyes were darting around.

"Mom, you and Su Chen really hit it off!"

"You were talking in the bathroom for so long, what was so happy about it?"

Hearing this,

Liu Liu Xiaoli let out a long sigh of relief.

It seemed her daughter had only heard their conversation

and not the sounds from before the conversation.

Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have been able to accept it right away.

Liu Liu Xiaoli forced a smile.

"I was warning Su Chen to treat you well in the future."

"Both sides need to be sincere and learn to be tolerant. Don't be like other celebrities who break up once they get bored."

Liu Liu Tianxian snuck a glance at Su Chen

and almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

She then pretended to be serious.

"Don't worry, Mom, our relationship is very good."

"Maybe we’ll even register our marriage in the future!"

Liu Liu Xiaoli was speechless.

Act!

Keep acting your heart out!

Her daughter’s acting level wasn't usually that great,

but at this moment, it was definitely at the level of a Best Actress.

If Liu Liu Xiaoli hadn't already known everything,

she might have actually been fooled.

The relationship between the three was very complex.

Originally, Liu Liu Xiaoli had come to see what kind of person her daughter’s boyfriend was.

As a result, her daughter’s relationship issues weren't solved,

but her own had been.

This was too magical!

Of course, she still wanted to spend more time with Su Chen,

but she ultimately decided

to leave more time for them,

striving for Su Chen to win over Liu Liu Tianxian soon so the family could be reunited.

They were leaving for Dali in three days to film *Meet Yourself*.

There was no need for Liu Liu Xiaoli to stay.

She booked a flight immediately and left at noon.

After seeing her mother out of the residential complex,

Liu Liu Tianxian returned home and flopped onto the sofa in excitement.

She rolled around, making a 'V' sign with both hands,

in a posture of victory.

"Perfect! Our cooperation was truly perfect; we had my mom spinning in circles."

"You don't know, when I was little, I liked to blink whenever I lied, and my expressions were very unnatural."

"My mom could always see through me, but this time I finally fooled her, thanks to you!"

"Su Chen, thank you, I owe you a favor."

Su Chen smiled without a word.

He had done Liu Liu Tianxian a huge favor,

and she did owe him a favor.

But he had snatched her mother away,

so it was hard to say who owed whom!

Liu Liu Tianxian had a flash of inspiration and grabbed Su Chen’s hand,

pressing him onto the sofa, and began to interrogate him.

"What were you and my mom talking about in the bathroom this morning?"

Su Chen pretended to be innocent: "Auntie already explained it to you, what else is there to say?"

"Just that?"

Liu Liu Tianxian still looked suspicious.

Fortunately, Su Chen had strong mental fortitude

and had integrated the Best Actor skill, so he was calm enough.

"Otherwise? What did you think would happen?"

"Could we have been kissing, hugging, and lifting each other up?"

Liu Liu Tianxian retorted: "Pfft! Don't talk nonsense."

"My mom is indeed beautiful, but she’s so much older than you and is your elder; how can you say such things?"

Su Chen laughed out loud.

"As long as there’s money and good looks, age is never a problem."

"Zhang Zhang Jizhong, Wang Dagang, Yang Yang Zhenning... which of those old men didn't marry someone decades younger than them?"

"And those older aunties, Xu Qing, Elva Hsiao, etc., don't they all like to keep young fresh meat?"

Liu Liu Tianxian warned: "What are you trying to do?"

"I treat you as a friend, and you want to be my dad?"
