Lin Xuan once again donned his suit, a sleek black one that accentuated his handsome features, giving him an air of refined malevolence.
Su Hua was originally flipping through a magazine when she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening. She looked up.
Seeing Lin Xuan’s appearance, she paused for a moment, her beautiful eyes shimmering with an unusual light.
Lin Xuan felt a bit nervous under her gaze.
Su Hua’s expression was so intense, it was as if she wanted to devour him whole.
Su Hua set aside her magazine and, barefoot, walked gracefully toward Lin Xuan.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Xuan swallowed hard, nervously asking.
Su Hua stood on her tiptoes, her delicate arms wrapping around his neck.
“Ah Xuan,” the charming woman whispered near Lin Xuan’s lips, her breath fragrant, “You look so handsome today.”
Lin Xuan felt a surge of pride.
It felt great to have his girlfriend approve of his looks.
But the next moment...
Su Hua murmured, “I really want to hide Ah Xuan away. Best in a room, where no one—men or women—can ever set their eyes on him.”
That way, his beautiful side would only be hers to see.
Su Hua’s eyes were filled with a sickening obsession.
Lin Xuan: “!!!”
Just like that, right out of the blue, she goes all yandere?
He hadn’t done anything to provoke her, had he?
“Ah Xuan, stay at Night Garden tonight. Don’t go to that banquet, okay?” Su Hua spoke softly.
Lin Xuan had a feeling that if he didn’t placate Su Hua tonight, he wouldn’t be stepping out of this house.
“Hua Bao, be good. I have to cause some trouble at Lin Li’s birthday banquet tonight. I absolutely need to go.” Lin Xuan gently coaxed her.
Su Hua pursed her lips.
But she really didn’t want Lin Xuan to go out looking like this. If he attended that birthday banquet, many young ladies from wealthy families would be there. With Lin Xuan’s dazzling good looks, would they start eyeing him?
Lin Xuan lowered his head and lightly kissed Su Hua’s red lips. “Stay here and wait for me, okay?”
Su Hua still emitted a cold aura.
Lin Xuan kissed her lips again.
Su Hua’s icy demeanor melted away completely.
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Well, one kiss wasn’t enough, so two did the trick.
Checkmate!
Lin Xuan didn’t notice the abnormal desire that had replaced the sickness in Su Hua’s eyes.
“Ah Xuan.”
Su Hua’s fingers traced a suggestive path on Lin Xuan’s chest. “If you want to go to that banquet, you can. But Ah Xuan will have to pay a price.”
Lin Xuan: “???” What kind of price?
Was it going to be... in bed again?
Su Hua pushed Lin Xuan onto the bed and climbed on top of him, their lips pressing tightly together.
“Ah Xuan, remember, no flirting with anyone at the banquet tonight.”
Lin Xuan: “I won’t let any other woman touch even a single finger of mine.”
Su Hua: “Second, come back early.”
Lin Xuan nodded: “No problem. I’ll come back right after dealing with Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao’s business.”
“Is there a third?” Lin Xuan cautiously asked.
“There’s a third.” Su Hua’s lips curled into a smile.
She rolled Lin Xuan over on the bed, and their clothes became a bit disheveled.
Su Hua wrapped her arms around Lin Xuan’s neck, her alluring lips teasing softly. “Ah Xuan, please please me... with your body.”
Lin Xuan: “!!!”
Would he even have the energy left to attend the birthday banquet?
But Lin Xuan knew that if he didn’t fulfill Su Hua’s demands, there was no way he was stepping out of this room today.
...
Lin Xuan’s clothes were torn, ripped by Su Hua.
The air was still thick with passion.
The woman with a faint blush on her face lay on the bed, her eyes closed, as if asleep.
Lin Xuan went into the wardrobe and selected another black suit to change into.
He looked puzzledly at the beautiful woman on the bed.
What was this about?
In just over an hour, Su Hua was already asleep. This didn’t match her usual stamina.
Could she be too tired from work?
Lin Xuan walked over and gently kissed Su Hua’s forehead before leaving.
Little did he know, Su Hua opened her eyes the moment he turned around.
Su Hua didn’t want Lin Xuan to leave, but she understood that tonight’s birthday banquet for Lin Li was crucial for him.
She could only suppress the fierce desire to lock her Ah Xuan away.
But... Ah Xuan’s black suit.
Su Hua’s eyebrows knitted tightly. She regretted not controlling herself more. She shouldn’t have let Lin Xuan have so many clothes.
She had originally thought of ruining the black suit so that Lin Xuan wouldn’t attend the banquet wearing it.
But now, here was another set...
As Lin Xuan reached the door, he felt a intense gaze following him.
He turned around, only to see Su Hua peacefully asleep.
Must have been his imagination.
Lin Xuan closed the door, and Su Hua sat up on the bed, her face showing no signs of fatigue.
Leaning against the headboard, her eyes still carried a seductive flush at the corners.
“Jiang Qing.” Su Hua called Jiang Qing, her voice slightly hoarse.
“Yes, Su Chief,” Jiang Qing respectfully replied.
Su Hua said, “Prepare some suits for Ah Xuan.”
Jiang Qing frowned.
A few days ago, hadn’t they already bought over ten suits?
Su Hua smiled slightly. “Three black suits, and one in every other color.”
Hmm?
Jiang Qing was puzzled.
Why would Su Chief ask her to prepare so many suits?
Little did Jiang Qing know, she’d unwittingly become part of a game between Su Hua and Lin Xuan.
“Understood, Su Chief.” Jiang Qing acknowledged.
She hung up the phone and immediately made arrangements.
Soon, another call came through. Su Hua’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I recall that Wu Wenqing is hosting a birthday banquet today at the Royal Hotel?”
“Yes,” Jiang Qing confirmed.
Su Hua’s lips curved. “Prepare. I’ll be attending as well.”
“Oh?”
Jiang Qing was surprised.
Wu Wenqing was only a distant relative of the Su family, and in the high society circles, he wasn’t as influential as the Lin family.
Su Chief never attended such banquets.
Why was she suddenly deciding to go to Wu Wenqing’s birthday banquet?
Was it raining frogs today?
“Yes, Su Chief. I’ll arrange it right away,” Jiang Qing confirmed.
“Send the makeup artist over to Night Garden, and bring several evening gowns. Make them youthful ones.” After all, that way, she would look more compatible with Ah Xuan.
Jiang Qing: “!!!”
Su Chief was acting completely out of character!
Attending a birthday party, getting makeup done, wearing youthful evening gowns—normal for any other woman, but in Su Chief’s case, it was not normal at all.
Su Hua noticed Jiang Qing’s hesitation.
Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“Any problem?”
“No, no.” Jiang Qing shook her head. “Su Chief, I’ll set it up immediately.”
Within less than fifteen minutes, everyone arrived at Night Garden.
They surrounded Su Hua, ready to do her makeup and dress her.
“Miss, I’ll cover up the marks on your neck.” The makeup artist was courteous.
Su Hua ran her slender, pale fingers over her neck.
It was a mark left behind today by Ah Xuan during their passionate moment.
“No need.” Su Hua’s lips curved slightly. This was a mark left by Ah Xuan—there was no way she would cover it up.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork.

I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
