Luo Yuan thoughtfully purchased a small, high-definition camera, no bigger than a thumb.
He brought Qin Ruoyao to a hotel and set up the mini camera on a stand, partially obscured by objects, with only the lens exposed.
"Ruoyao, you can place the camera roughly here, it'll capture the bed well without being easily noticed," Luo Yuan said with enthusiasm.
As long as the footage of Qin Ruoyao and Lin Li in bed was recorded, his task would be complete, and he wouldn't have to fawn over Qin Ruoyao like he'd been doing lately.
These days, constantly chasing after Qin Ruoyao had been exhausting.
"Luo Yuan, I noticed you're very invested in my matter with Lin Li, as if you're eager for me to hurry up and record the video," Qin Ruoyao said, her eyebrows furrowed.
Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Had Qin Ruoyao sensed something?
After a moment's thought, he replied calmly, "Ruoyao, since this concerns your happiness, of course, I'm invested."
Qin Ruoyao's furrowed brows relaxed.
Perhaps she had overthought it.
Luo Yuan had always adored her, loved her to extremes—how could he possibly do anything to harm her?
"Luo Yuan, thank you for all you've done for me," Qin Ruoyao said, deeply touched.
"What're you thanking me for? That's what we're here for," Luo Yuan replied, placing the camera in her hands. "Ruoyao, your happiness lies in your own hands now."
Qin Ruoyao gripped the camera tightly, her heart burning with anticipation.
Li ge, please don't blame me for capturing these moments. Who asked you to be so cold to me lately?
This isn't my fault.
Besides, I don't mean any harm. I just want to stay by your side forever.
Just as Luo Yuan said, I need to get pregnant soon… I want to secure my place in the Lin Family through this child!
Luo Yuan's objective was achieved.
After finishing morning classes, Luo Yuan invited Lin Xuan to a secluded spot.
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. "You called me here. Is the task I gave you completed?"
"Almost. Lin Xuan, let me tell you, I've set the trap for Qin Ruoyao, and soon she'll take the bait!" Luo Yuan said with a smile.
"Oh?" Lin Xuan raised an interested eyebrow.
Luo Yuan continued, "It seems Lin Li isn't very fond of Qin Ruoyao anymore; he's been distancing himself."
Lin Xuan wasn't surprised by Luo Yuan's words, as he knew he was the key factor maintaining Qin Ruoyao and Lin Li's relationship.
Now that his relationship with Qin Ruoyao had completely fallen apart, Lin Li could no longer derive pleasure from the idea of occupying his woman and naturally lost interest in her.
"Trying to capture footage of them normally is impossible now. I also fear Lin Li might break up with Qin Ruoyao, so I've devised a plan for her to seduce Lin Li herself, encouraging her to record the video."
"I already know her phone's unlock password. I'll secretly send the video from her phone to myself later."
Lin Xuan was somewhat impressed. "You've become more clever than before."
Indeed, casting off the shackles of infatuation and being less of a doormat has boosted your intelligence.
"Heh, thanks for the compliment," Luo Yuan said, scratching his head.
At that moment, two students passed by.
Seeing Lin Xuan and Luo Yuan talking, they looked puzzled. "Why are they talking here? Lin Xuan and Luo Yuan, aren't they usually at odds because of Qin Ruoyao?"
"Yeah, but they seem to be having a good chat."
Qin Ruoyao arrived then, looking equally puzzled as she observed the two.
Luo Yuan frowned.
He mustn't let Qin Ruoyao detect anything unusual!
Adopting an actor-like demeanor, he declared, "Lin Xuan, whether I like Qin Ruoyao or how much I fawn over her is none of your concern! I suggest you mind your own business!"
"Qin Ruoyao pursued you so earnestly; such a wonderful girl, yet you didn't cherish her… she'll be cherished by me!"
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
This guy's quite the performer!
Qin Ruoyao was moved to tears, her gaze filled with pain as she looked at the youthful Lin Xuan in his white shirt and black pants.
In truth, she still harbored feelings for Lin Xuan.
In recent times, Lin Xuan had become increasingly dazzling and more appealing than ever.
However, Lin Xuan's continuous rude remarks forced her pride to suppress her emotions. She couldn't lower herself to beg.
She had to conceal her love.
She'd wait until she was at the top, and Lin Xuan would grovel at her feet like a dog!
Qin Ruoyao concealed her pain, strode up to Luo Yuan with her head held high, her heels clicking on the ground.
"Luo Yuan, let's go to lunch together," Qin Ruoyao said softly.
"Sure."
Luo Yuan and Qin Ruoyao left together.
Lin Xuan didn't dwell too much on Qin Ruoyao. He returned to his dormitory.
He was currently busy with his career.
As the head of the Su Family, any revelation about Su Hua's identity would likely face resistance from the Su Family to her relationship with him.
He needed to achieve significant success soon to silence critics.
He also didn't want the Lin Family to thrive for much longer.
He intended to seize the entertainment and gaming industries from the Lin Family's grasp!
That day, Lin Xuan sat at his desk, browsing through web pages on his computer.
Su Hua brought him a glass of milk.
Wearing a white lace slip dress that reached just above her thighs, her fair, slender legs were fully exposed.
Her silky, straight black hair cascading down her back.
Her entire demeanor exuded sensuality and allure.
Su Hua placed the milk beside Lin Xuan's computer and said, "Xuan, drink some milk."
Milk…
That word made Su Hua's eyes darken.
Perhaps it was time to have a child with Xuan. But… that child might steal his attention.
She absolutely wouldn't allow that.
Xuan could only belong to her. His entire love could only be hers. Even a child they shared was forbidden to take half his affection.
Lin Xuan's eyes remained fixed on the computer. "Hua, just leave it here. I'll drink it after I finish my work."
Su Hua glanced at the computer screen, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
That's no other than her cousin, Xu Wan.
No doubt about it; her cousin was blessed with good looks.
Being in the entertainment industry, Xu Wan had become a beloved idol of countless men.
Why was Xuan researching her?…
Lin Xuan clicked on the search bar and typed in: "Xu Wan's Romance."
Su Hua's mind began to wander.
Was Xuan so intrigued by her that he considered her an idol, a goddess?
Su Hua's eyes narrowed dangerously, her frosty demeanor seeping into the air.
Lin Xuan, absorbed in his work, suddenly felt the temperature drop.
He instinctively stopped his movements with the mouse, looked up, and was met with Su Hua's cold expression.
Lin Xuan felt something was off.
What was going on here?
Everything seemed fine during dinner. Why was Su Hua in a foul mood now?
Did staring at work and ignoring her lead her to act this capricious?
Yes, that had to be it!
Beyond that, he couldn't think of any reason he had upset her.
Lin Xuan picked up the milk and drank it all in one gulp.
