Soon, Zhu Yuan's parents had prepared dinner.

The dishes were plentiful, but none of them had any appetite.

Zhu Yuan, Qingyi, and Su Chen had eaten hot pot together before arriving, and with important responsibilities on their minds, they naturally had no appetite for food.

Meanwhile, Zhu Yuan's parents, who were also engaged in a battle of wits with their daughter, had no appetite to eat.

Then, something that drove Zhu Yuan to despair happened.

No matter how she, Su Chen, and Qingyi performed, her parents remained unmoved.

Even if she said that Su Chen had a harem of dozens of girls and one of each kind of Xi Ren, her parents would only bulge their veins on their foreheads and grit their teeth to give her to Su Chen.

An hour later, the agonizing dinner was over.

"Yuanyuan, just relax and be with Su Chen." Zhu Yuan's mother raised an eyebrow, proud of having withstood the pressure from her daughter: "We just want you to experience the feeling of love. As long as you like the person, that's fine. As long as you like him, we can accept it no matter how outrageous it is."

Zhu Yuan grew a little anxious and asked, "What if I don't like it?"

"We'll continue introducing them to you until you like them."

Zhu Yuan's father snorted coldly and said in a sullen tone.

He was furious with Zhu Yuan, so naturally he didn't have a pleasant expression on his face.

"The guests are still here, how can you talk like that?"

Zhu Yuan's mother nudged Zhu Yuan's father and said somewhat reproachfully.

"It's alright, Auntie. It's getting late, it's time for us to go back."

Su Chen pulled up Qingyi, who was enjoying the melon, and said goodbye with a smile.

"No, no, no, young man, there's also the police officer in blue. Please sit a little longer. It's not too late yet, and it's very safe outside."

Zhu Yuan's mother tried to persuade her to stay.

Since she knew it was all a charade, she didn't need to spout nonsense to Zhu Yuan's friends and colleagues; she should treat them well.

"No! Su Chen!"

Zhu Yuan was also getting a little anxious.

Her own issues haven't been resolved yet, and she clearly feels that her parents' problems have become even more serious.

Su Chen patted Zhu Yuan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, I know you're reluctant to part with me, so let's see each other off."

Zhu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, realizing that Su Chen had something to say to her, so she forced a smile and said, "Alright then, I'll see you and Senior Qingyi off."

Su Chen and Qingyi got up and went out. Zhu Yuan's parents also got up and stopped at the door to see them off, while Zhu Yuan wanted to see them off a little further.

"Thank you so much for tonight, thank you for coming to help me."

Zhu Yuan sighed and sincerely thanked Qingyi and Su Chen.

Su Chen smiled and said, "It's alright."

The woman in green casually said, "We're all friends."

Zhu Yuan was initially touched by her friend's help, but then said somewhat dejectedly, "Unfortunately, it seems we messed up this time. We wanted to dissuade my parents from this idea, but now they're even more anxious, as if they can't wait to marry me off."

"Zhu Yuan, you can't blame your parents. It's because your acting was so bad that you gave yourself away."

The woman in green crossed her arms and said with a hint of helplessness.

"Huh?" Zhu Yuan was taken aback and asked in surprise, "They know this is a play we put on?"

"Of course." Su Chen nodded and said with certainty, "After raising a daughter for more than 20 years, how could they not know? When your mother called your father to the kitchen, it probably already gave itself away."

"Oh? What should I do?"

Zhu Yuan was completely disoriented and her mind was numb.

If she were to handle a case, she would be confident that she could handle it exceptionally well and deliver a very logical and eloquent case report.

But when she talks to her parents about blind dates, it's like she has a fishbone stuck in her throat; she can barely utter a single word.

"Don't worry, since I'm here to help you today, there's nothing I can't do."

Su Chen patted his chest and said seriously, "In my opinion, after what happened, your parents should know your feelings. They don't seem like unreasonable people, so they probably won't force you anymore."

Zhu Yuan thought of how understanding her parents used to be and realized that it made sense.

However, she felt that her parents were very stubborn about this matter, more stubborn than they had been before.

"What if they still force me?"

Zhu Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm." Su Chen patted Qingyi's shoulder and said with a smile, "I'll give you this opportunity. Let's see if we're like-minded."

“No problem, I’ve already planned this out.” Qingyi immediately looked at Zhu Yuan and said easily, “If your parents still want to force you to go on blind dates, then ask them to find someone like Su Chen. After all, you’ve already introduced Su Chen to your parents this time, so the next one can’t be worse than Su Chen, right?”

"This……"

Zhu Yuan was somewhat tempted, but hesitated as she looked at Su Chen.

“That’s right, that’s exactly it.” Su Chen nodded approvingly and said modestly, “Although I’m not very talented and don’t have any special skills, it’s not an easy thing for the entire New Ellie to find another person like me.”

It's not just not simple; it's practically impossible!

Zhu Yuan knew that although Su Chen was humorous and approachable, he was a rising star in the new Ellito.

The previous acquisition of Vision Industries and the recent takeover of those eight medium-sized arms dealers are both blatant achievements.

There were other things, and the things Ya had told her made her realize how capable Su Chen was.

If you use Su Chen as a template for blind dates in New Ellito, then the only person who will come is Su Chen.

Perhaps the previous generation of Void Hunters also qualify.

But what kind of decent person would ask Xu Shou to go on a blind date?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuan felt relieved and smiled: "Then I'll go back and talk to them properly. I'm determined to work hard in the position of sheriff!"

Su Chen patted Zhu Yuan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Anyway, good luck. If you need any more help, you can call me. But don't just leave empty-handed, you should at least treat me to a meal."

"No problem! Even if I don't ask for your help, I'd still like to get together from time to time."

Zhu Yuan smiled and said in a very generous manner.

"I'm not as greedy as Su Chen. All I need is a good cup of tea."

The woman in green winked playfully and said lightly.

"Oh, so this is infighting, huh? Don't do this in front of your colleagues, or you'll be shot ten times over."

Su Chen looked at Qingyi and said jokingly.

During the relaxed conversation, the pressure on Zhu Yuan dissipated. After waving goodbye to Su Chen and Qingyi, she returned home to prepare to confront her parents.

Su Chen rode away on his motorcycle, taking Qingyi with him.

At Zhu Yuan's home.

"Dad, Mom, I don't want to go on blind dates. What I just did was a show that my friend and I planned."

Zhu Yuan resolutely told the truth.

"Yes, we can see that."

Zhu Yuan's mother smiled helplessly.

"So, will I still have to go on blind dates in the future?"

Zhu Yuan asked her mother.

"Of course you should go on blind dates. You'll get married someday."

Zhu Yuan's mother said with a serious expression.

"Isn't that day still early?"

Zhu Yuan was somewhat embarrassed.

"Yes, so you should focus on handling your career for now."

Zhu Yuan's mother smiled and temporarily put aside her blind date plans.

"Great!"

Zhu Yuan was overjoyed and couldn't help but exclaim.

"This child..."

Zhu Yuan's father shook his head, feeling both a little helpless and a great sense of relief.

Having a well-behaved daughter is always great, except for this one matter where she doesn't listen to their opinions.

But that's alright, at least there won't actually be any "ghost fire teenagers," and it's good that my adorable daughter will be cute forever.

You know, when Su Chen first appeared, his heart was breaking as a father.

Just as Zhu Yuan's father was lost in thought, the conversation between the mother and daughter next to him could be heard.

"Yuanyuan, when you get older, you can consider Su Chen more. He's a pretty good guy."

"That's what Zhu Yuan's mother said gently."

"I see."

Zhu Yuan blushed and spoke in a voice barely audible.

She never had that idea.

But if it really needs to be done, perhaps this is a good option?

"..."

Zhu Yuan's father stared speechlessly at the ceiling. How come he still couldn't escape it?
