Lin Xuan frowned.
Was it just his imagination?
He couldn't shake the feeling that Hua was trying to seduce Doctor Xiaoyao.
But that had to be a misconception. Hua only liked him; she would never seduce another man.
Still, the thought of Hua appearing before Doctor Xiaoyao in that outfit made him thoroughly uncomfortable.
Even if Doctor Xiaoyao was actually him.
"Hua," Lin Xuan spoke up, "it's quite chilly today. Do you want to change into something else?"
"It's fine."
Su Hua curled her lips into a smile. "I'll have someone turn up the temperature in the villa. I won't catch a cold."
"Hua, adjusting the temperature is such a hassle. Why don't you just change into something with longer sleeves?" Lin Xuan suggested.
"Does my Ah Xuan not want me wearing this to see another man?" Su Hua asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No."
Lin Xuan quickly denied it.
His gaze darted away evasively.
If he admitted it, Hua would definitely think he was being petty.
Forget it.
Anyway, Hua wasn't going out today, and the person coming to see her was him.
If she wanted to wear this outfit, so be it.
Lin Xuan said, "Then Hua, wear whatever you like."
"It's getting late, so I'll be heading out now."
Lin Xuan left the Night Manor.
Su Hua smiled and asked, "Butler Wang, are you certain that with the medicine I've been taking and my current physical condition, I no longer need to abstain from intimacy starting today?"
"Yes." Butler Wang nodded.
Receiving Butler Wang's affirmative answer, Su Hua's eyes curved in delight.
Very soon, she would be able to fool around in bed with Ah Xuan again.
"Butler Wang, pass down my orders," Su Hua said with a smirk. "None of the servants need to attend to the villa today. You alone will be enough to help out."
"Yes, Miss." Butler Wang was a little puzzled.
He didn't know why the young lady was sending all the servants away.
Lin Xuan disguised himself and arrived at the Night Manor.
He stood in front of his car, looking at the luxurious villa before him.
His temples were throbbing wildly.
He didn't know why.
He just had a feeling that something was going to happen today.
Butler Wang came out personally to greet him.
"Doctor, my lady has been waiting for you since early morning. Please follow me."
Butler Wang's attitude toward Doctor Xiaoyao was extremely respectful.
This was the man who could cure the illness that had plagued his lady for years.
He had to treat him well.
"Mhm."
Lin Xuan took a deep breath.
And took large strides toward the villa.
"Miss, Doctor Xiaoyao is here," Butler Wang announced.
"Finally."
Su Hua curled her lips. "Doctor Xiaoyao, I've been waiting for you for quite a while."
Butler Wang frowned slightly, feeling a bit confused.
The tone his lady just used... it felt like she was flirting.
But he must have misheard.
His lady only had Young Master Lin in her heart. How could she flirt with another man?
Anyone else in the world might cheat, but not his lady.
Lin Xuan felt a bit uncomfortable.
His expression appeared calm as he nodded and said, "Mhm."
"I wonder if Miss Su has been taking her medicine on time recently."
Su Hua walked up to Lin Xuan, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Doctor Xiaoyao.
"Naturally, I listen to what Doctor Xiaoyao says."
Lin Xuan nodded. "That's good."
"Doctor Xiaoyao, since I've been so well-behaved, aren't you going to praise me?" Su Hua asked, arching a brow.
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
Butler Wang: "!!!"
No way, Miss, have you really fallen for someone else?
Usually, the young lady only spoke in this tone to Young Master Lin. Why was she speaking so ambiguously to this Doctor Xiaoyao?
He had to admit.
This man was quite handsome, only slightly inferior to Young Master Lin.
Could it be that his lady was just a sucker for good looks?
The butler had always firmly believed that Su Hua would only love Lin Xuan for her entire life.
But now, seeing Su Hua's attitude toward Doctor Xiaoyao, he wasn't so sure anymore.
Lin Xuan took a few steps back.
"Miss Su, I have a girlfriend. And don't forget, you have a boyfriend too."
Su Hua let out a low chuckle and said, "I just wanted to exchange a few words with you, Doctor Xiaoyao. Why are you so nervous?"
After observing for a moment, Butler Wang became even more certain. His lady really might be interested in this Doctor Xiaoyao.
This Doctor Xiaoyao was just a doctor, so why did he have to have such a handsome face?
Oh no, oh no.
Young Master Lin, why aren't you here? Don't you know your girl is about to be snatched away by an outside man?
Butler Wang hurriedly dialed Lin Xuan's number.
Lin Xuan's phone also started ringing.
Butler Wang looked at Lin Xuan in confusion.
What a coincidence?
He had just called Young Master Lin, and this Doctor Xiaoyao's phone rang at the exact same time?
Lin Xuan saw Butler Wang's caller ID on his phone.
He mentally slapped his forehead.
What was wrong with his memory?
He had actually forgotten to turn off his phone again.
Su Hua raised an eyebrow and asked, "Doctor Xiaoyao, why aren't you answering your phone?"
"It's just an unimportant call, no need to answer."
If he answered it, his cover would be blown.
Lin Xuan hung up the call and turned off the phone while he was at it.
Butler Wang furrowed his brows deeply.
The moment Doctor Xiaoyao hung up, his call to Young Master Lin was disconnected at the exact same time.
It really was too much of a coincidence.
Butler Wang dialed Lin Xuan a few more times, but the phone only returned a cold, mechanical female voice: "Sorry, the number you have dialed has enabled the call reminder feature. Please try again later."
Butler Wang was pacing around anxiously.
Usually, Young Master Lin would answer the phone in no more than thirty seconds. Why couldn't he be reached at such a critical moment?
"Doctor Xiaoyao."
Su Hua did a twirl in front of Lin Xuan. "What do you think of my outfit?"
Su Hua was wearing a black cheongsam.
Her curvaceous figure was exceptionally eye-catching to men as she spun around.
Even Lin Xuan couldn't tear his eyes away for a moment.
Su Hua raised an eyebrow and said, "I want to grow old with my boyfriend, so I take my condition very seriously. I don't want anything to affect my treatment. I usually like wearing tight cheongsams like this, but I'm worried it might hinder my physical recovery."
"Miss Su, it won't have any impact," Lin Xuan said.
"That's good." Su Hua let out a small sigh of relief.
"Miss Su, I'll head to the medical room first."
Lin Xuan's mind was a mess.
Was it his imagination? Hua seemed especially flirtatious with him today.
Right now, Lin Xuan just wanted to get this over with quickly.
Finish Hua's final treatment early, and then leave.
