The Innocent Lin Xuan

The two mercenaries hid in the corner, trembling as they watched Ye Li's miserable state.

It seemed that Lin Xuan had been merciful towards them.

The bodyguards lying on the ground also felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, they had known when to stop and had promptly pretended to be knocked out, otherwise, they would have been beaten to a similar state.

Oh... Lin Xuan is really ruthless.

"Bang——"

Lin Xuan's palm left Ye Li's face, and his hand clenched into a fist, beginning to pound on Ye Li's waist, back, and stomach.

Ye Li was being treated like a punching bag by Lin Xuan, standing there getting beaten, unable to fall down.

Lin Xuan seemed satisfied, giving Ye Li's chest a powerful kick, sending him flying backward like a falling kite.

Ye Li slid down the door and collapsed onto the floor.

"Pfft——" Ye Li suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood.

Lin Xuan had thoroughly researched in the space how to inflict pain without endangering life. He had no intention of letting Ye Li off the hook, twisting his wrist and walking step by step towards Ye Li.

The bodyguards continued to pretend to be unconscious.

The mercenaries and the two women cowered in the corner, trembling and breathing lightly, afraid that the rampaging Lin Xuan might notice them.

Su Hua approached the door, her hand tightly clutching the key card.

She hesitated.

She lacked the courage to open the door, fearing she might witness a scene of Lin Xuan entangled with the two women inside.

Jiang Qing and the others stood far from the door, worried about seeing something they shouldn't, and possibly having their eyes gouged out by Su Hua.

Seeing Su Hua standing there without moving, Jiang Qing walked over, frowned and asked, "Ms. Su, what's the matter?"

Su Hua pursed her lips.

She was worried that if she opened the door and caught Lin Xuan in the act, he might not continue their charade.

This was the warmth she had worked so hard to gain.

Jiang Qing's heart raced at this moment.

She only hoped this was a misunderstanding and not Lin Xuan courting death.

Jiang Qing glanced at Su Hua. If Lin Xuan really betrayed her, Su Hua might revert to her icy, emotionless self—no, she might go even crazier.

She remembered there was a double coffin in Night Garden...

"Bang——" A heavy object crashed against the door.

Everyone turned to look at the door.

Jiang Qing strained her ears to listen to the commotion inside.

"Ms. Su, it seems someone is being beaten inside. Maybe Lin Xuan was set up and is fighting back. Since Lin Xuan doesn't know martial arts, he might be getting seriously hurt." Jiang Qing looked worried.

Although Lin Xuan has been quite ruthless, like chopping off Su Hai's head or beating that rich young master who tried to harass Ms. Su, Lin Xuan has never practiced martial arts. His body looks weak and thin. If he fought someone, he would only take a beating.

And if he was really set up, the enemy would surely send someone highly skilled, leaving Lin Xuan no chance to fight back.

"Ms. Su, shall we go in..." and take a look.

Before Jiang Qing could finish, Su Hua had already pushed the door open.

Jiang Qing: "......"

She almost forgot. If anyone cared for Lin Xuan the most, it would be Su Hua. There was no need for her to keep blabbering.

Su Hua entered the room, and Jiang Qing instructed some bodyguards to follow.

Lin Xuan was in the middle of punching Ye Li's face.

Silence! Deathly silence!

Lin Xuan's face stiffened.

Oh no! How did Su Hua get here!

Lin Xuan's grip on Ye Li loosened, and Ye Li collapsed to the ground, groaning.

Su Hua watched Lin Xuan's furious beating without any surprise or disbelief, instead, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

Yes, excitement!

Ever since she met Lin Xuan, he had always been gentle and refined. This was the first time she saw her Lin Xuan act so wild.

Lin Xuan was becoming more like her.

Jiang Qing looked at the group of guards lying on the ground, the two women tied up, the cowardly mercenaries cowering in the corner, and Ye Li, who had been beaten beyond recognition. She swallowed hard.

All this was Lin Xuan's doing?

Oh no, how could Lin Xuan be so strong?

What about the information she had gathered before... stated Lin Xuan was helpless and weak?

Jiang Qing once again felt incredibly lucky she had never provoked Lin Xuan.

Wang Jianghai stared in amazement.

Indeed, the decisive and ruthless Ms. Su's boyfriend was no ordinary man.

Lin Xuan stepped towards Su Hua, his heart uneasy.

Last time he chopped off Su Hai's head to calm Su Hua, it was understandable.

This time he brutally abused these people, and Su Hua saw his cruelty with her own eyes. Would she dislike him now?

"These people weren't beaten by me, they were attacking each other. What you saw me punching Ye Li just now, I was just adding a few extra punches." Lin Xuan timidly explained.

The people lying on the ground: "...... " What an outrageous liar!

Jiang Qing: "???"

This scene felt familiar; last time Su Hua was drunk and beat that rich young master, she also portrayed herself as innocent and pure.

Su Hua, love-struck, responded, "Mmm, it was their own feud."

Lin Xuan said it, so that was the truth.

Lin Xuan raised his hand again, "Look, I got cut."

Jiang Qing glanced at his hand.

Just a tiny scratch from a razor, with a small droplet of blood. It would heal on the way to the hospital.

The bodyguards pretending to be unconscious in their hearts cried out in agony.

Good heavens, how could he even complain about such a minor injury?

They had never seen such a shameless person!

Su Hua held Lin Xuan's hand tightly, frowning.

Wang Jianghai quickly added, "Ms. Su, I'll immediately have someone bring the first aid supplies."

And so, everyone, both lying on the ground and standing, witnessed Su Hua delicately tending to Lin Xuan's tiny scratch, no bigger than a fingernail.

Su Hua put a big Band-Aid on Lin Xuan's hand.

Lin Xuan, does it still hurt? Su Hua furrowed her eyebrows and asked.

"With Hua carefully bandaging it, it doesn't hurt anymore." Lin Xuan grinned.

Others: "......"

This unexpected spoonful of relationship goals!

After finishing Lin Xuan's bandaging, Su Hua's icy gaze landed on the people lying on the ground, "Wake them up."

"Splash." Cold water was poured on them.

The bodyguards didn't dare to keep feigning unconsciousness. Fearing they might be woken up in a more painful way, they pretended to come to.

Ye Li also woke up, his eyes lighting up when he saw the beautiful woman.

"Ms. Su, it's me, Ye Li. Lin Xuan did this to me. He is pretending in front of you but is a devil in secret. You can't be with him!"

"Ms. Su, in fact, Lin Xuan still likes Qin Ruoyao. He is only pretending to like you to deal with you. Keeping him by your side will only hurt you."

Are you all back to school yet?
