Su Hua's aura was still cold.
Lin Xuan placed a kiss on Su Hua's forehead, coaxing her softly, "Hua-bao, I'm still busy, I'll come to see you later."
"Mm." Su Hua was soothed, and the chill in her demeanor dissipated somewhat.
She was like this—just one kiss or a few tender words from Lin Xuan, and no matter how angry she was, her emotions would calm down considerably.
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she wasn't angry anymore.
Lin Xuan went back to looking at his computer, his eyes fixed on the screen.
Su Hua pursed her lips.
Was he really so infatuated with Xu Wan? He had quickly, carelessly kissed her, and then couldn't wait to go back to staring at pictures of Xu Wan...
Su Hua's beautiful eyes swirled with dark currents.
She really wished she could hide Lin Xuan away, so that he would only face her and no other woman.
Her Lin Xuan would never be coveted by other women...
Lin Xuan frowned.
Why did it feel so cold again?
He looked at Su Hua, only to see her gazing at him with a gentle expression. Lin Xuan shook his head—it must have been his imagination!
Lin Xuan turned his head back to the computer.
In the instant Lin Xuan looked away, Su Hua's expression changed again, dark and heavy, with an urge to destroy everything.
Su Hua suppressed the urge in her heart, walked out of the study, and made a phone call. "Jiang Qing, I need you to look into someone. Use the organization's intelligence network to do it, as quickly as possible!"
Jiang Qing frowned—it was late at night, and Su Hua was using the intelligence network. It must be something urgent!
"Who are you looking into, Su?” Jiang Qing asked, her face serious.
Su Hua's red lips parted slightly. "Xu Wan."
"Ah?" Jiang Qing was stunned. Xu Wan was the daughter of Su Hua's mother's sister, a month younger than Su Hua, and they had a decent relationship.
Why was Su Hua suddenly investigating her?
"What happened to Miss Xu?" Jiang Qing asked, puzzled.
Su Hua: "Nothing, I just don't like her."
Jiang Qing: "???"
Xu Wan had been filming abroad recently and hadn't returned—how could she have offended Su Hua?
And wasn't Xu Wan always incredibly obsequious towards Su Hua?
How could she possibly have upset her?
Jiang Qing was utterly baffled.
Su Hua continued, "Look into her scandalous behavior, preferably find evidence of her being involved with men in questionable circumstances, or abandoning them."
She was sure of it—her 'dear' cousin had gone through men like water.
Jiang Qing: "???"
Why was Su Hua suddenly so interested in Xu Wan's romantic affairs?
She wasn't usually concerned about anyone other than Lin Xuan.
Wait!
Could this be related to Lin Xuan?
Jiang Qing's mind instantly caught on.
It must have something to do with Lin Xuan! Only when it involved him did Su Hua get so invested.
Did Lin Xuan stop liking Qin Ruoyao and now have eyes for Xu Wan?
If that was the case, what kind of mess was this?
"Lin Xuan, please don't make things worse," Jiang Qing sighed deeply to the heavens.
Jiang Qing immediately followed Su Hua's instructions, focusing on investigating Xu Wan's relationships and anything damaging to her reputation.
Su Hua sat back on the sofa, browsing through Xu Wan's social media.
She saved every photo of Xu Wan with men.
The staff could sense Su Hua's bad mood and moved quietly, careful not to draw her attention.
In the garden, they whispered worriedly.
"What's wrong with Miss? I haven't seen Su Hua look so cold in a long time, like she's about to kill someone."
"Could it be that she had a fight with Lin Xuan?"
"I don't think so. It feels like she's brooding over something."
...
As a public figure in the entertainment industry, Xu Wan had always kept her romantic life under wraps, maintaining a good public image.
It took Jiang Qing an hour to send the investigation report to Su Hua.
Su Hua printed out the documents and photos, then returned to the study with them.
When Lin Xuan saw Su Hua enter, he closed his laptop hurriedly.
Su Hua pursed her lips.
Was he hiding something from her?
Lin Xuan quickly walked over to Su Hua.
"Hua-bao, is something wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood," he asked, concerned.
"Lin Xuan, are you investigating Xu Wan?" Su Hua suddenly asked.
"Yes," Lin Xuan nodded.
"Here's what I found," Su Hua said, handing him the documents.
Lin Xuan took the documents, and his brows furrowed as he saw what was written.
It contained gossip about Xu Wan's romantic entanglements and some unsavory behavior.
Lin Xuan was confused.
Why was Su Hua giving him this?
Su Hua said expressionlessly, "She started dating in kindergarten, and has had 108 boyfriends in total."
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
Wow!
Was she trying to collect all 108 heroes of Liangshan?
Su Hua continued, "She's a heartbreaker, always making men fall desperately in love with her, then leaving them behind."
Lin Xuan was even more confused.
Su Hua wasn't usually one to be interested in gossip, so why was she telling him this?
Su Hua added, "She's even sent a few of her boyfriends to the hospital, breaking limbs."
Su Hua was committed to besmirching Xu Wan's reputation to make Lin Xuan lose interest in her.
"Hua-bao, how do you know so much about Xu Wan?" Lin Xuan asked, full of confusion.
Su Hua pursed her lips. "She's my cousin."
Lin Xuan suddenly understood.
So that was the connection.
Su Hua was telling him this because she cared about her cousin and hoped she'd find a stable relationship?
Lin Xuan thought that must be it.
He started to comfort Su Hua. "Hua-bao, I don't think it's that bad. She has money, and she can do whatever she wants. With this kind of lifestyle, she won't get hurt by men. That's pretty good."
Su Hua's eyes narrowed dangerously. "So Lin Xuan, you seem to really admire her?"
Ignoring the warning, Lin Xuan nodded. "I guess."
"But maybe she’s acting this way because she hasn’t met true love yet. When she finds someone she truly loves, she might settle down." Lin Xuan reasoned.
Of course, these were just lines he had heard in novels. He was just trying to calm Su Hua down and keep her from worrying about Xu Wan. People like Xu Wan were beyond help.
And he hated anyone who used others' emotions for their own gain! He was a victim of that himself!
Lin Xuan scrapped his idea of recruiting Xu Wan into his company.
Su Hua let out a cold laugh. "So Lin Xuan, do you think she’s suited to a man with what kind of personality?"
Lin Xuan stroked his chin and thought carefully. "Probably someone who complements her personality. From what you told me, she has a fiery temperament. So the man she ends up with will likely be more gentle, someone who can tolerate her."
Lin Xuan's analysis was purely objective, but Su Hua took it differently—she thought he was describing himself.
Lin Xuan was exactly the kind of gentle and understanding man, wasn't he?

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
