"Dad, you know how much I deeply, truly love Brother Lin Xuan. In this life, it has to be him."
"Your spirit in heaven will definitely bless Brother Lin Xuan and me to be together."
Chen Ling returned to the orphanage.
Inside the orphanage, Dean Chen's room still displayed his memorial tablet, with his ashes resting beside it.
And on the wall hung his photograph.
Chen Ling had purposely destroyed all the security cameras.
She looked at Dean Chen's photo on the wall.
A trace of reluctance flickered in her eyes.
Dad had always loved her so much. Whenever he had anything good, he would always think of her first.
Was she really going to do this?
Would this make Dad turn in his grave...
Chen Ling didn't hesitate for long.
She quickly steeled her heart.
Only by using this method could she seduce Brother Lin Xuan.
"Dad, I'm sorry."
Chen Ling muttered to herself.
"Didn't you like Brother Lin Xuan the most? I'll have him be your son-in-law, okay?"
"That woman is no good match for Brother Lin Xuan anyway. He won't be happy with her, so I'll be the one to break them up."
Chen Ling hardened her resolve.
Wearing gloves, she took the photo down from the wall.
With a loud crash.
The photo hit the floor, shattering into pieces.
In the photo, Dean Chen's gaze was looking straight ahead.
Everything else was broken.
Only the upper half of his face remained completely intact.
Chen Ling had a feeling.
She felt as if her father was staring right at her, as if asking why she would smash his photo for a man.
Chen Ling gritted her teeth.
She smashed the memorial tablet onto Dean Chen's photo, perfectly covering Dean Chen's eyes.
Dean Chen was no longer looking at Chen Ling.
Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Ling then smashed Dean Chen's urn onto the floor.
Ashes flew everywhere.
Chen Ling proceeded to smash the rest of this room in the orphanage.
After doing all this, Chen Ling felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body.
Her eyes were vacant as she muttered to herself.
"Dad, I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry."
"Your daughter really has no other choice."
"I've tried so many ways before to get Brother Lin Xuan to spend time with me, but he always refused."
"Also, Brother Lin Xuan is usually so distant with me, barely saying a few words to me. I had no choice. I had no choice but to use this method to attract him over."
"I'm sorry, Dad, I'm truly sorry."
Chen Ling's eyes grew red.
She loved her dad very much too.
Anyway, her dad was already dead.
Being dead meant his soul should have dissipated; Dad wouldn't know what she had done to him.
Even if he did know.
Dad would forgive her, because she was his most beloved daughter.
If Dad could see that she managed to successfully get together with Brother Lin Xuan through this method.
He would definitely be extremely, extremely gratified.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in.
With a loud bang, the wind slammed the door shut.
The ashes were blown up into the air again by the wind.
The entire room became filled with the swirling ashes of Dean Chen.
Chen Ling inexplicably felt a wave of fear and a chilling cold.
Chen Ling stumbled and ran out of the dean's room.
She quickly returned to her rented apartment outside.
She took a shower.
Then she went back to school for classes.
She was absent-minded the entire afternoon, her head filled with the image of those eyes staring at her when Dean Chen's photo broke.
"Chen Ling."
A friend patted her on the shoulder from behind.
Chen Ling was startled.
Her face was pale.
Her friend frowned in confusion, "Chen Ling, what's wrong with you? Why have you been so absent-minded all day?"
Chen Ling shook her head, "I'm fine."
"Chen Ling, do you want to go shopping together after class?" her friend asked.
"I have something to do, so I won't go shopping with you. Let's do it another day," Chen Ling said.
Tonight, in the dead of night, she could begin her plan.
This time, she absolutely had to succeed in seducing Brother Lin Xuan.
Her plan was flawless.
By the looks of it, there shouldn't be any accidents.
After class.
Lin Xuan returned to Night Garden.
Su Hua's message came through.
[Hua]: Xuan, I need to handle some important work tonight, so I might be back a bit late.
[Xuan]: Okay, Hua, make sure you eat on time.
[Hua]: Mhmm, I'll listen to my husband.
Lin Xuan put his phone away.
"Young Master Lin, the food is ready," Butler Wang walked over and said respectfully.
"Mhm."
Lin Xuan walked into the kitchen.
He sat down and started eating.
"Chef Chen, your cooking skills are really getting better and better," Lin Xuan praised.
The chef smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, I learned it all from you."
Every time Young Master Lin cooked for President Su, he would stand behind Young Master Lin and watch. He had learned quite a lot of good things just by observing behind him.
Meanwhile.
Chen Ling returned to the orphanage.
She did not dare to return to Dean Chen's room.
She only dared to turn the lights on brightly in the room she used to live in.
She practiced what she was going to say several times in advance.
Only after making sure no flaws could be detected, did she finally call Lin Xuan.
Meanwhile, in the Night Garden.
The chef could not help but ask, "Young Master Lin, um, when do you plan to cook?"
"You see, President Su is working overtime at the company, isn't she? It is the perfect opportunity for you to bring her some food."
"That is true," Lin Xuan nodded.
Then, remembering something, he shook his head vigorously. "No, I cannot deliver it to Hua."
"Why not?" the chef asked in confusion.
Young Master Lin loved President Su deeply; did he not usually enjoy personally cooking for her?
Lin Xuan remained silent.
He could not exactly say that if he brought food to Hua, there was a ninety-nine percent chance she would seduce him right there in the office to do indecent things.
Hua really loved office play.
Besides, it had been quite a while since he last visited Hua at her office.
Hua would definitely pull him into some office play.
Even if she was busy, it would not matter.
She would just have him serve her while she continued working.
Chen Ling's phone call came through.
Looking at Chen Ling's name on his screen, Lin Xuan furrowed his brows tightly.
Why was Chen Ling calling him?
"What is it?" Lin Xuan answered the call, his tone as cold and distant as ever.
Chen Ling bit her lip.
She and Brother Lin Xuan were childhood sweethearts. They used to be so close when they were little.
But now that they were grown up, Brother Lin Xuan had a woman he liked, and he did not even look at her anymore.
But it was fine. Brother Lin Xuan was just temporarily bewitched by that vixen, Su Hua.
As long as she successfully initiated physical contact with Brother Lin Xuan tonight, he would definitely become infatuated with her body.
She had learned quite a few methods for seducing men on the internet.
She was absolutely determined to make Brother Lin Xuan surrender to her charms.
