"But Boss Su, he is your grandfather. He's getting quite old, you should really spend some quality time with him," Huo Shen said, his tone laced with anxiety.
If Hua'er didn't return to the Su family's old manor, he wouldn't have the chance to say more than a few words to her, let alone deepen their relationship.
"CEO Huo."
Lin Xuan walked out of the lounge. "You don't need to worry about Hua'er and Grandpa Su's matters."
Hearing this voice, Huo Shen's expression stiffened.
Why was Lin Xuan here?
Why was he always haunting them like a ghost? Almost every time he came to find Hua'er, Lin Xuan was there.
"CEO Huo, what a coincidence, we meet again," Lin Xuan said, raising an eyebrow.
Huo Shen forced a smile at the corners of his lips. "Yes, what a coincidence."
He was beginning to suspect that Lin Xuan had planted a tracker on him. Every time he came to look for Hua'er, Lin Xuan would show up just to disgust him and prevent him from getting close to Hua'er.
Lin Xuan must be terrified that Hua'er would be snatched away by him.
Heh.
Did Lin Xuan really think he could guard against him for a lifetime?
When Su Hua saw Lin Xuan, her cold eyes and brows softened.
"Xuan, why are you up?" Su Hua's eyes reflected Lin Xuan's figure.
Lin Xuan walked to Su Hua's side. "Without a beauty in my arms, I naturally woke up."
"Hua."
Lin Xuan leaned down and kissed Su Hua's red lips. "Good afternoon."
"Mhm."
Su Hua's eyes curved in a slight smile.
Huo Shen clenched his fists.
This was absolutely a provocation from Lin Xuan! He was also showing off, flaunting the fact that he could be with Hua.
Otherwise, why did Lin Xuan always have to do something intimate with Hua every time he was present?
"Boss Su."
Huo Shen took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
Huo Shen cast a dark, gloomy glance at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan.
Just wait!
Don't get too smug!
Once he snatched Hua'er and the Su Group away, he would see how he'd properly torture him!
When the time came, he would definitely drive Lin Xuan's Tianmu Group into bankruptcy, lock Lin Xuan up, and make him watch closely as he and Hua'er flaunted their love!
He would make Lin Xuan experience his pain too!
Huo Shen turned and left the office.
Su Hua placed her fingers on her lips, looking thoughtfully at Huo Shen's receding back.
Every time Huo Shen was around, Xuan would make intimate gestures towards her.
Usually, Xuan was quite thin-skinned; he would never take the initiative to do such things in front of others.
It seemed that in the future, when Xuan was around, she could call Huo Shen to the office more often.
Su Hua curled her rosy lips.
Huo Shen had no idea that he was about to become a part of Su Hua and Lin Xuan's little game.
"That felt good."
Lin Xuan let out a breath.
Making Huo Shen eat dirt was simply too satisfying!
Daring to covet Hua was simply overestimating his own capabilities.
Seeing Lin Xuan looking so happy, Su Hua was also in a pretty good mood.
Su Hua took out a set of red clothes from under the desk.
"This is..." Lin Xuan frowned.
Su Hua said, "I picked this out for you myself. Take a look, Xuan. Do you like it?"
She wanted to see what Xuan looked like as a well-dressed beast.
Hua picked out clothes for him?
He couldn't shake the feeling that something was waiting for him.
With a feeling of apprehension, Lin Xuan took the clothes and opened the packaging bag.
It turned out to be a suit.
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
These clothes were quite proper. It seemed he was overthinking things again.
"Yes, this outfit looks very nice," Lin Xuan nodded. "Thank you, Hua."
A dark gleam flashed in Su Hua's eyes. "You can try it on, Xuan, and see if it fits."
"Alright."
Lin Xuan held the clothes.
Su Hua raised an eyebrow and said, "The office door is already locked. You can change right here, Xuan."
"No thanks," Lin Xuan said hastily. "I still think it's better to change in the lounge."
Hua was always thinking that he was trying to seduce her.
If he changed his clothes right in front of Hua, she definitely wouldn't be able to control herself.
Just in case, it was safer for him to go to the lounge to change.
Lin Xuan took the clothes and walked into the lounge.
Su Hua didn't stop him.
What Lin Xuan didn't know was that there was a security camera in the lounge. As soon as he disappeared from Su Hua's line of sight, she took out her phone and watched the scene inside the lounge.
Through the monitor, Su Hua's gaze lingered on Lin Xuan's body, inch by inch.
She stared at Lin Xuan's body without blinking.
Her gaze was filled with intense possessiveness.
Every part of Xuan's body hit her aesthetic sweet spot perfectly.
How wonderful.
Just as Lin Xuan was about to put on the suit, he felt someone staring at him with an intense gaze.
He frowned and looked around.
He didn't see anyone.
Besides, this was the lounge inside Hua's office. Others couldn't enter easily. Moreover, the furnishings here were clear at a glance; there was no place for anyone to hide.
A man's intuition was usually inaccurate. His feeling must have been wrong.
Lin Xuan continued to change his clothes.
He put on the red suit that Su Hua had prepared for him.
Then, he walked out of the lounge.
"Hua, how does this outfit look?" Lin Xuan asked.
Su Hua's gaze examined Lin Xuan carefully. She curled her lips and said, "Very nice."
"It's just missing something."
Lin Xuan was confused.
"Is it?"
Su Hua took out a red tie. "Try putting this on, Xuan."
"Okay."
Lin Xuan took the tie and slipped it on.
Up until now, Lin Xuan hadn't felt that anything was amiss.
Looking at Lin Xuan wearing the tie, a trace of excitement flashed in Su Hua's eyes.
"Hua, I've put it on," Lin Xuan said.
Su Hua sat at her desk, resting her chin in her hand, and said, "Xuan really looks good in whatever you wear."
"Hua, now that I've tried the clothes on, I'll go change out of them first." Lin Xuan prepared to walk back to the lounge.
"Wait."
Su Hua called out to stop Lin Xuan once again.
"What's wrong, Hua? Is there something else?" Lin Xuan asked.
"If I just look at this outfit like this, I don't think I'm looking closely enough," Su Hua said with a completely straight face.
Lin Xuan frowned.
If it wasn't just to see if it looked good, what else was there to see?
Su Hua instructed, "Xuan, unbutton your suit jacket first."
Up to this point, everything still seemed quite normal.
Lin Xuan still hadn't noticed anything wrong, and once again, he did as Su Hua requested.
"Is this okay?" Lin Xuan asked after unbuttoning the suit jacket.
Su Hua didn't speak; she just looked Lin Xuan up and down once again.
"Not yet." After a moment, Su Hua shook her head.
"Xuan, unbutton the top three buttons of your shirt," Su Hua said.
Lin Xuan finally realized that something wasn't quite right.
Even the buttons of the shirt underneath had to be undone by three. This... Was Hua sure she purely wanted to see if this suit suited him?
However, Lin Xuan's gaze fell on Su Hua's face. She looked entirely serious, and her eyes didn't carry the slightest hint of ambiguity.
It seemed he really was overthinking it.
Thank goodness Hua didn't know his thoughts had gone astray.
