Chapter 152: Who is your father-in-law!!

"No reply, still no reply to the message."

Lan Yu Qiancong stared silently at her phone; from the moment she sent the message until now, her old man hadn't sent a single reply.

Clearly, what she could see on her end was "read," not "unread."

If it were unread, she could still hypnotize herself, but read and no reply? She didn't know what to do.

The rebellious teenage girl finally felt a sense of regret at this very moment; she truly realized that she might have played things too far.

Perhaps she wasn't as important in her old man's heart as she had imagined?

For a moment, even though the five steaks the waiter had just served were placed in front of her, she didn't have the slightest desire to eat them.

"Relax, maybe things aren't as bad as you think?"

Seeing that Lan Yu Qiancong didn't want to eat, Su Nian naturally helped solve the problem without hesitation; after all, the taste of this steak was quite good.

Besides, one steak was just a taste for him; he needed more to eat happily enough.

Unlike Lan Yu Qiancong's panic, Su Nian was fully aware of Lanyu Xianzai's movements; after all, Lanyu Xianzai was currently still under his control.

He seemed to have been preparing to seek help from the Lion King Agency, but the request for help failed, so he decided to rush over directly.

"Is there a possibility that your old father is currently looking for a way to save you?"

"Impossible."

Lan Yu Qiancong snorted coldly, though her mood improved quite a bit; at least this possibility was much better than her actually being abandoned.

At least this showed that Lanyu Xianzai still cared about her.

Watching Lan Yu Qiancong's reaction, Su Nian just smiled, then prepared to continue enjoying the food in silence.

But this smile, in the eyes of the rebellious teenage girl, undoubtedly lit the fuse of the bomb in her heart named "shyness," and Lan Yu Qiancong exploded completely.

She felt like she had just made a huge fool of herself.

"What are you smiling at? If I'm not mistaken, you're eating my steak, right?"

With cheeks flushed red, Lan Yu Qiancong remembered that this steak was what she had asked the waiter for, and then, without the slightest hesitation, she snatched it away along with the plate—the steak that had just been cut by Su Nian.

She ate it viciously, as if tearing into Su Nian's flesh and blood.

But looking at Su Nian's half-smiling gaze, Lan Yu Qiancong froze completely red!

The girl's blushing heat surpassed all words.

In an instant, the speed at which she ate the steak became even faster.

Su Nian tilted his head and looked out the window of the buffet restaurant; just then, a black business car drove past the window and headed toward the parking lot near the buffet restaurant.

Su Nian happened to be able to sense an individual carrying a virus approaching him.

The time was about right; Lan Yu Qiancong's old father, Lanyu Xianzai, had also rushed over.

Su Nian wasn't surprised by this; after all, Itogami Island was ultimately just a man-made island, with a total area of only 180 square kilometers—how big could it be?

It wasn't even as big as the county town he lived in during his past life; taking a car to circle the whole city wouldn't even take an hour.

Naturally, it was very normal for Lanyu Xianzai to rush over during the time it took to eat a meal.

Soon, a tall man wearing a well-fitted suit walked into the restaurant, looked around, and paused when he saw Su Nian.

But he still gathered his courage and walked toward where Su Nian and Lan Yu Qiancong were.

Looking at Lan Yu Qiancong, Su Nian couldn't help but feel a bit of mischievousness.

Because some unscrupulous guy had made Lan Yu Qiancong blush with heat, the girl's table manners at this moment were truly not very elegant; others ate steak by cutting it and eating it in small bites.

Unlike Lan Yu Qiancong at this moment, who directly speared the steak with a fork and bit into it.

Of course, a few minutes ago, Lan Yu Qiancong still had normal eating habits, but now this way of eating would inevitably cause sauce to get on Lan Yu Qiancong's face.

It directly turned Lan Yu Qiancong's exquisite little face into something like a little tabby cat.

Subsequently, after Lan Yu Qiancong finished the last bite, Su Nian pulled out a tissue and gently helped Lan Yu Qiancong wipe her face.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Lan Yu Qiancong looked at Su Nian's actions, puzzled; she couldn't quite figure out Su Nian's thoughts right now.

"Nothing, just saw your face covered in sauce and helped you wipe it off, what else could it mean?"

But Lan Yu Qiancong didn't seem to understand Su Nian's good intentions, instead looking at Su Nian with an expression that said, "You'd better just mean that."

Lanyu Xianzai, who was on the side, couldn't help but stare in a daze; he was completely bewildered. So, what exactly was the relationship between Qiancong and the Fourth Progenitor right now?

Were they this intimate?

However, in a sense, this was much better than the worst-case scenario he had anticipated, but as a father, he also felt a subtle sense of displeasure at this situation.

A feeling of helplessness, like watching his own home-grown Chinese cabbage being trampled by a pig while he stood by and watched.

Could it be that it really was as he guessed? Was he spared because of his own daughter?

With a subtle mood, Lanyu Xianzai walked silently to the table where Lan Yu Qiancong was.

Watching Lan Yu Qiancong eating steak in an extremely heroic posture, he also deeply felt that his education of his daughter seemed to have a problem.

Su Nian raised his head slightly, looked at Lanyu Xianzai, and slowly revealed a smile.

"This is our first meeting, right? Father-in-law?"

Lanyu Xianzai kept a straight face and was silent for two or three seconds, his expression blank; had he misheard?

This sudden greeting made the scene quiet for two or three seconds.

Immediately after, Lan Yu Qiancong, who seemed to realize something was wrong, turned her head to look at the person standing behind her, her face turning red.

"Otosan? *Cough, cough, cough*..."

Then Lan Yu Qiancong successfully choked, under the double stimulation of her Otosan appearing behind her out of nowhere and Su Nian's words.

"Here, water!"

Su Nian smiled and handed over a glass of water. After Lan Yu Qiancong drank it all in one gulp, she slammed the table and shouted.

"Who is your father-in-law!!"

The girl's sense of shame caused Lan Yu Qiancong to raise her tone to its highest pitch.

At this moment, Su Nian rested his face on one hand and looked at Lan Yu Qiancong, saying.

"How is it? Is it a surprise, or is it unexpected?"

"Surprise my foot, it's a shock, that's what it is!"

Heaven knows how panicked Lan Yu Qiancong felt just now when she heard the word "father-in-law" and then saw her own father standing expressionless behind her.

Just how panicked did she become?

Her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

"Is that so?"

Su Nian sighed and said in a regretful tone.

"I thought I could give you a surprise?"

"Surprise your big head; who says 'father-in-law' to a girl's father the moment they meet?"

Lan Yu Qiancong really didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment.

How could he make such a joke in front of her father? But thinking about it again, isn't this normal?

This guy is someone who can issue that kind of contract with a straight face—no, not issue, he is the kind of guy who carries that kind of Slave contract around, and that's putting it nicely.

Thinking of this, Lan Yu Qiancong wore an expression that said "meeting you is the worst luck of my life," turned her head, and said to Lanyu Xianzai.

"Although you are very unreliable, what just happened was merely a joke Su Nian made, don't overthink it!"

You've already said that, how can I not overthink it?

Lanyu Xianzai smiled awkwardly, then looked at the man sitting opposite Lan Yu Qiancong, who was smiling while resting his chin on his hand.

He couldn't guarantee whether Su Nian's words were a joke or not, but he could still tell that his daughter had a good relationship with him.

"Alright, let's end the jokes here."

Su Nian beckoned, signaling the waiter to bring another seat over, as Su Nian was currently sitting at an ordinary four-person table.

Moreover, he, Lan Yu Qiancong, Nangong Nayue, and Agulora were already filling it up.

"I believe you all have some understanding of the fact that Itogami Island is now ruled by me, right?"

"Yes."

Lanyu Xianzai lowered his head and replied, his tone much more relaxed; in any case, no matter how you put it, it was no longer the worst-case scenario.

Before entering the door, if he had felt fear toward the Fourth Progenitor who had directly dominated the upper echelons of the entire Itogami Island on his first move.

Now he saw an excellent young man who was bickering with his daughter and possessed a thick... ah no, a hint of a mischievous sense of humor.

Only Lan Yu Qiancong was dumbfounded; she couldn't help but retort to Su Nian.

"How did you suddenly take control of Itogami Island? There should be a limit to joking around, right?"

But no one answered; Lan Yu Qiancong seemed to have remembered something and looked at Su Nian in silence.

"No way? You actually completely dominated Itogami Island?"

Su Nian nodded slightly, as if asking in return, you only just realized?

"Why do you want to dominate Itogami Island?"

Lan Yu Qiancong asked with some curiosity; she hadn't been close enough to ask before, but now, after a bout of bickering, their relationship had become much closer.

At least Lan Yu Qiancong could speak up now.

"Probably because I want to establish a Night Empire?"

Su Nian rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said.

"Actually, I didn't want to use this method either, but who told those upper-echelon people to discuss how to control me right in front of my face, so I had no choice but to dominate them."

The corner of Lan Yu Qiancong's mouth couldn't help but twitch; could one only say this fits her stereotype of the Island Country's upper echelons? Always delusional about grasping power that doesn't belong to them?

As for her old man? He must have been collateral damage.

Even she herself was one of the collateral damage.

But as for the Night Empire? Lan Yu Qiancong thought she had probably recognized Su Nian's identity.

If she hadn't guessed wrong, Su Nian should be the so-called Fourth Progenitor, right?

Then, if he were a True Ancestor who had lived for countless years, would there be a way to treat her mother?

Lan Yu Qiancong couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.
