Lin Xuan scrolled past several more videos.
Finally, there were no more beauties, but a video about the animal world instead.
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said,
"Hua, this video is pretty good. Look, this newborn lion cub is so cute. And look at those majestic eyes; you can tell at a glance it's going to be a Lion King someday."
"Is that so?" Su Hua raised an eyebrow and said, "But I think the first video was better. Dancing in a black crop top and shorts... so pretty, don't you think?"
Lin Xuan: "..."
It's over.
It's really over now.
Hua really saw that video...
"Hua," Lin Xuan said nervously, "Listen to my explanation. I didn't watch that video on purpose. A friend shared it with me, so I clicked on it. As for the videos after that, Tiger Sound pushed them to me. I really didn't want to watch them."
He truly didn't like those videos and never watched them on his own.
In his eyes, Hua was the most beautiful. Her figure, her face—every part of her was flawless.
He had no interest in other women's bodies.
However, even though that was what he thought in his heart, he couldn't stop Hua from misunderstanding.
Su Hua pursed her lips and said, "Give me the phone."
"Okay."
Lin Xuan obediently handed the phone to Su Hua.
Su Hua opened the Tiger Sound app on Lin Xuan's phone, went to the chat history with Luo Yuan, and unerringly found that specific video.
Just then.
Luo Yuan called.
Su Hua looked at the contact name and narrowed her eyes dangerously.
Luo Yuan.
Wasn't this the person sending her Lin Xuan those suggestive videos of beautiful women?
"Achoo."
"Achoo."
"Achoo!"
At Shangqing University, Luo Yuan sneezed three times in a row.
Wang Dahe clicked his tongue and said, "Luo Yuan, you're done for. President Su must be cursing you behind your back for sending those videos to Xuan."
Luo Yuan glared at Wang Dahe. "I just caught a bit of a chill, that's why I'm sneezing. Wang Dahe, don't curse me!"
"Fine, fine, I won't say anything."
Wang Dahe shook his head.
*Why be so cowardly now? You should have thought of that earlier.*
To be a friend of President Su's man, one must have sharp intuition.
Indeed, relying on his own sharp intuition, President Su had rewarded him with quite a few things.
Hearing the ringtone, Lin Xuan's vigilance instantly spiked.
It wouldn't be Chen Ling or some other woman calling him, would it?
Please, no.
That would be adding fuel to the fire.
Lin Xuan secretly peeked at the screen and saw the contact was Luo Yuan.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, it wasn't a woman calling him.
"Hua, Luo Yuan might need me for something. Can I go answer the phone?" Lin Xuan asked weakly.
The atmosphere in the office was too oppressive.
He wanted to use this call as an excuse to go outside and get some fresh air.
Su Hua glanced at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan didn't dare insist. He spoke up weakly again, "I guess Luo Yuan probably isn't calling about anything serious anyway. It's fine if I don't answer. Hua, just hang up on him."
Su Hua didn't speak.
Her slender, fair fingers slid across the phone screen.
She didn't hang up on Luo Yuan; instead, her finger slid to the answer button.
As soon as it connected.
Luo Yuan spoke impatiently, "Lin Xuan, you finally answered my call. Listen, I have something super, super urgent I need you to do right now."
Su Hua remained silent. Luo Yuan didn't know the person on the other end was Su Hua, not Lin Xuan.
"Lin Xuan, go to your Tiger Sound DMs right now and delete that video of my goddess dancing that I just sent you. Also, delete the message I sent with it."
Lin Xuan could faintly hear Luo Yuan's voice coming from the phone.
He cautiously glanced at the woman whose face was clouded with gloom.
Did this count as Luo Yuan walking right into a trap?
Through the phone, Luo Yuan continued, "Lin Xuan, delete all of that so President Su won't see it. It's safer to delete it."
After saying all this in one breath, Luo Yuan finally noticed that there hadn't been a single sound from the other end since the call connected.
Luo Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Hello? Lin Xuan, are you there? Did you hear what I just said?"
That long speech had made his mouth dry.
Luo Yuan picked up the mineral water on the table and took a big gulp.
Only then did Su Hua speak up. "No need to delete it. I've already seen it."
"Pfft—"
Hearing Su Hua's voice, Luo Yuan couldn't help but spray out the water he had just taken into his mouth.
"Pre-President Su... why is it you?"
Two words popped into Luo Yuan's mind.
*It's over.*
President Su definitely knew.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Wang Dahe also choked on his own saliva.
President Su?
President Su really saw it?
He was just saying that casually earlier; who would have thought it would actually be such a coincidence...
Su Hua didn't say anything else; she simply hung up the phone.
*Clatter—*
The phone slipped from Luo Yuan's hand again.
"Wang Dahe, what should I do? President Su really saw it."
If he had known... he wouldn't have made this call to Lin Xuan.
With this call, even if President Su hadn't known before, she certainly knew now.
"Wang Dahe, you've been Lin Xuan's good brother for years and you've seen President Su several times. You should understand her pretty well. Hurry up and help me think of a way to save my little life." Luo Yuan's face was pale, looking utterly hopeless.
Wang Dahe patted his good brother on the shoulder. "President Su will definitely remember this incident. I don't have a solution, but don't worry. You're Xuan's good brother and an employee in Xuan's company. Out of respect for Xuan, President Su won't actually take your life. As for you... well, at most, you'll just lose a layer of skin."
Luo Yuan was truly unlucky.
This was President Su's working hours; she shouldn't have been by Xuan's side.
But as it happened, she was right there with Xuan.
*Thud—*
Luo Yuan slumped onto the table.
"I'm done for, I'm done for, I'm really done for. Offending President Su is no joke," Luo Yuan muttered to himself.
Wang Dahe shook his head, ignored Luo Yuan, and went back to reading his book.
At the Su Group, within the CEO's office.
The atmosphere was still incredibly oppressive.
Jiang Qing knocked and entered, bringing two cups of tea for Su Hua and Lin Xuan.
She frowned in confusion.
*What's going on?*
*Young Master Lin came to the company to keep President Su company; shouldn't she be happy?*
*Why does President Su look like she wants to kill someone...*
*And Young Master Lin looks like he's done something wrong.*
*Also, isn't that Young Master Lin's phone?*
*What is President Su staring at on his phone?*
Suddenly, music started playing from Lin Xuan's phone.
This music... didn't sound like anything decent.

Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh.

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
