Chapter 254: I'm Already Married
"Why did you close the door?"
"I have something to tell you."
Tang Yun saw him sitting on her bed, so she dragged a chair over and sat down.
"What's up?"

Su Chen casually asked before lying down on Tang Yun's bed again.
"Obviously, it's about the two of us."
"What about us? Don't scare me, there's nothing wrong between us!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen suddenly sat up again.
Tang Yun started to feel annoyed seeing him react this way. Are you that afraid of having something to do with me? Am I that terrible?
Tsk tsk tsk, what am I thinking? It's as if I want something to happen with him.
"I'm talking about the misunderstanding our parents have about us, we have to solve it!"
Tang Yun rolled her eyes.
Speaking of this, Tang Yun felt a surge of anger with nowhere to vent.
"How do we solve it? I've got no idea."
Su Chen said lazily, feeling helpless against Tang Yun's mother.
"Didn't you cause this mess? If not you, who will solve it!"
Tang Yun saw him shrugging it off and immediately got furious.
"We need to talk about this seriously, how could it be my fault? It was clearly your aunt who misunderstood on her own; what could I do?"
"If it weren't for that time at our house, when my mother saw what the room and the couch looked like, would she have misunderstood?"
"That doesn't seem to be my fault, though."
Su Chen said this with a bit of guilt, but he also felt helpless against Pei Rou.
"I don't care, we need to solve this now. My dad told me a couple of days ago that my mom is already picking a date."
"What?! Picking a date?"
Su Chen sat up sharply from the bed once more. If his previous reactions had contained elements of teasing Tang Yun as a joke, this time he was truly scared out of his wits!
"What do we do now?"
Su Chen also panicked. If it were just a misunderstanding by Pei Rou, it would still be manageable, but now that she's picking dates, things have really escalated!
"How would I know!"
Tang Yun responded irritably.
"But I'm already married! What do we do now?"
Su Chen couldn't sit still anymore; he stood up, rubbing his hands together, at a loss.
"You're married?"
Tang Yun was completely stunned, asking numbly.
For some reason, she suddenly felt as if something was snatched away from her heart.
"Yes! What do we do now?"
Su Chen hadn't expected Pei Rou to act so swiftly; they had only met two or three times, after all!
"How would I know?"
At this moment, Tang Yun's mind was also in a mess, especially after hearing that Su Chen was already married, which made her brain feel tangled in a mess of threads!
"Why didn't you say you were married earlier?"
Tang Yun couldn't help but complain. If he had mentioned it the first time, all this wouldn't have happened!
"Firstly, this is my personal matter. You didn't ask, and I didn't feel the need to mention it specially. Besides, I've only visited two or three times, and I thought I'd find a suitable opportunity to explain everything later. But I didn't expect things to develop so quickly, so rapidly!"
Su Chen also regretted not having mentioned it the first time.
Back then, he saw Pei Rou was too enthusiastic and too happy, and he didn't have the heart to spoil her mood. He thought he'd find the opportunity to mention it later, as there was plenty of time.
But he never expected Pei Rou to be such a decisive person, already picking dates!
This caught him off guard!
Tang Yun, upon hearing this, also felt that he made some sense. She hadn't expected her mother to be so eager and quick about this matter!
"So what should we do now?"
Tang Yun glared fiercely at Su Chen.
"How should I know? Maybe I should just tell her that I'm already married."
Su Chen looked anxiously at Tang Yun and asked.
"No way!"
Tang Yun immediately rejected Su Chen's suggestion, as it could have been manageable had it been the first time.
If they were to tell her mother now, who knows how much it might shock her, especially since she almost completely regarded him as her son.
"Why? It seems like this is the only way now."
Su Chen asked, puzzled, considering this the quickest and most straightforward solution at the moment.
"My mother has a heart condition; she just had surgery the year before last. What if this shocks her into the hospital?"
Su Chen actually wanted to say, "No worry, I can cure her," but clearly, it wasn't the right time to say this, or else Tang Yun would kill him!
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
Su Chen spread his hands and asked.
Tang Yun thought for a moment, then said:
"Hmm, like this, if my mom really brings up marriage, you can say we're still young and want to wait a couple more years, then I'll gradually work on her."
"Alright, we'll just have to go with that for now then."
Understanding the situation, Su Chen glanced at Tang Yun:
"Why don't you say it yourself?"
"Nonsense, if I say it, my mom is definitely going to scold me! It's different for you, she wouldn't feel right scolding you!"
Tang Yun retorted as if it were obvious.
"You're pretty smart,"
Su Chen muttered, visibly annoyed.
"Just consider that I owe you a favor, okay?"
Having resolved a major issue, Tang Yun felt somewhat relieved. However, thinking about Su Chen being married still felt oddly disturbing, and she couldn't quite explain why.
"Sure, you've got to remember that!"
A faint sly smile emerged on Su Chen's lips.
"Enough, enough, stop nagging!"
"Little Su, Yun'er, dinner is ready!"
At that moment, Pei Rou's voice came from outside the door. Pei Rou was also worried that if she walked in and saw something she shouldn't, it would be awkward.
"Oh, got it."
Tang Yun responded, unlocked the door, and opened it.
Hearing the sound of the lock and seeing Su Chen lying on the bed, Pei Rou's expression grew strange.
From her perspective, with the door locked and Su Chen lying on the bed, what good could they possibly be doing?
"Hurry and come eat!"
Pei Rou said sharply, then left.
Su Chen and Tang Yun saw Pei Rou's strange expression and felt a bit surprised but didn't think much of it.
During dinner, Pei Rou suddenly asked:
"Little Su, that house you wanted to buy, did you get it?"
Initially, Pei Rou thought the two wanted to create a private world for themselves, then Su Chen explained that he was looking for a quiet place to work on something.
"Not yet."
These past few days, Su Chen hadn't really looked into purchasing a house, but this was indeed an urgent matter for him to resolve.
"Then don't bother looking anymore. I just remembered, Yun's cousin has an estate by Jianghai's north side at Jiangyang Lake. You could check it out and see if it's suitable."
Pei Rou had also just recalled this matter, so she took the opportunity to bring it up.
