Su Hua narrowed her eyes.
It seemed Jiang Yutong was thoroughly clinging to Xuan now.
She wouldn't give up until Xuan acknowledged her as his sister.
A cold aura emanated from Su Hua's entire body.
Why? Why were so many people trying to take Xuan away from her?
First, it was Qin Ruoyao and the Lin family.
Just when Xuan had finally stopped caring about those people, Shen Qianqian, Chen Ling, and now the Jiang family popped up...
Who knew who else would appear later.
Lin Xuan sensed Su Hua's displeasure and asked with concern, "Hua, what's wrong?"
Su Hua glanced at Lin Xuan but didn't answer him. Instead, she turned her gaze back to Jiang Yutong.
"Second Miss Jiang, you currently have no relationship with Xuan whatsoever. Save such talk for when Xuan is willing to accept you," Su Hua stated expressionlessly.
"Furthermore, Second Miss Jiang, you can see Xuan's current attitude. He doesn't want to be associated with you yet. Having me by his side is enough for now. Your repeated attempts to get close to him will only make him resent you. Don't you agree?" Su Hua offered a slight smile.
Jiang Yutong clenched her fists tightly.
How could she not understand that logic?
But, she really didn't want to give up on having Little Xuan as her brother?
Also, Little Xuan had suffered so much in the Lin family before. She desperately wanted him to experience what familial love truly felt like.
Once Little Xuan realized they were truly different from the Lin family, he would surely accept them from the bottom of his heart.
"And one more thing," Su Hua continued, "Second Miss Jiang, Xuan and I have a very good relationship now, and it will always remain this good. No one should even think about affecting our bond."
Jiang Qing sighed inwardly.
President Su's jealousy was truly something else. She was even jealous of Young Master Lin's biological cousin. Probably no one in the world could match President Su's capacity for jealousy.
Jiang Yutong mistakenly thought Su Hua was worried they would obstruct their relationship if Lin Xuan returned to the Jiang family.
Jiang Yutong immediately assured her, "Miss Su, you can rest assured. Little Xuan can be with whomever he wishes. We would absolutely never interfere."
The students from Shangqing University and the employees of Tianmu Group were all watching this scene with great interest.
"It seems President Jiang loves Lin Xuan to the bone. Someone of her status is actually willing to be this humble."
The Tianmu Group employees, however, felt a sense of pride.
Their boss truly was captivating.
Lin Xuan stood to the side, watching Su Hua and Jiang Yutong, unable to get a word in.
He had been puzzled.
Hua and Jiang Yutong had no prior connection, so why did their conversation feel strangely charged with tension?
If Jiang Yutong were a woman who liked him, then Hua's reaction would make sense.
But, Jiang Yutong was his biological cousin, connected by blood!
From start to finish, Jiang Yutong only wanted him as her brother, nothing more!
So, Hua probably wasn't being jealous.
Su Hua stopped engaging with Jiang Yutong. She walked up to Lin Xuan and straightened his clothes.
"These clothes are a bit wrinkled."
She then leaned in, stood on her tiptoes, and sniffed near Lin Xuan's neck.
Lin Xuan frowned in confusion. "Hua, what are you smelling?"
"Xuan has the scent of another woman on him. I don't really like it," Su Hua whispered, her red lips brushing against Lin Xuan's earlobe.
Lin Xuan immediately promised, "Hua, don't worry, I absolutely, absolutely did not let any other woman touch me."
Su Hua pressed her lips together.
But he had been standing too close to Jiang Yutong just now...
"Xuan."
Su Hua's red lips suddenly met Lin Xuan's, giving him a kiss.
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
The onlookers: "!!!!"
Su Hua smiled slightly. "Xuan, I got a little carried away just then."
She had originally wanted to lick Xuan's neck, but she was worried he might be a bit shy and would feel embarrassed if she did that in front of everyone, so she settled for kissing his lips instead.
Jiang Yutong's expression was indescribable.
She felt like she had been force-fed dog food yet again...
Also.
When Little Xuan's girlfriend glanced at her just now, why did she feel that look held a hint of provocation...
It must have been her imagination.
She wasn't her love rival, so why would Little Xuan's girlfriend feel the need to provoke her?
Su Hua spoke up, "Second Miss Jiang, my boyfriend and I would like to go for a stroll. We'll be leaving first."
Su Hua took Lin Xuan's hand and led him out of the laboratory.
Lin Xuan felt something was off.
Just last night, he had told Hua he would stay at Night Garden today, and she said she was busy and suggested he come to the chip project team instead.
He had only been at the project team for a little over half an hour before Hua showed up and took him away.
"Hua, didn't you say you had work to do today? Why did you come?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.
"Naturally, I finished my work," Su Hua said, raising an eyebrow.
Unconsciously, they had walked to a less crowded area, a place with historic buildings nearly a century old.
"Xuan."
Su Hua's gaze fell on a small grove of trees. It was very secluded, and since it was class time, no one would come by.
She hadn't tried the school's small grove before...
A flicker of interest passed through her eyes.
"Xuan."
Su Hua stood on her tiptoes and whispered into Lin Xuan's ear, "Shall we go into the grove?"
"Huh?"
Lin Xuan was dumbfounded. Before he could even process it, Su Hua pulled him into the small grove.
Su Hua glanced around, confirming no one was there.
She then quite domineeringly pinned Lin Xuan against a tree.
Ever since Su Hua mentioned taking him into the grove, Lin Xuan had been in a state of bewilderment. Now, he finally snapped back to reality.
"Hua, it's easy to get discovered here," Lin Xuan said nervously.
"Don't worry, Xuan, it's very hidden here. If anyone comes, I'll notice," Su Hua said, her red lips curving into a slight smile.
How could she possibly let anyone else see Xuan's body?
Whether man or woman, if anyone saw, she would gouge their eyes out.
Xuan's body was for her eyes only.
Thump, thump, thump. Lin Xuan's heart pounded nervously.
What kind of mischievous interest was this from Hua?
But, admittedly, it was rather thrilling.
Su Hua's fingers moved to the buttons on Lin Xuan's shirt, beginning to undo them one by one.
Lin Xuan's heart was still racing wildly.
Just thinking about what was about to happen made him feel nervous... and a stimulating excitement.
"Xuan." Su Hua's small hand slipped inside Lin Xuan's shirt, tracing ambiguous patterns on his chest.
"Let me take care of you today."
"Although I still can't do the most intimate thing in the world with Xuan, I have many ways to make Xuan feel good."
Su Hua began licking Lin Xuan's face, moving slowly downward, to his neck...
She tried to cover him with her scent...
She had wanted to do this back in the laboratory.
It just wasn't convenient then...

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
