Showing off our love once again

“Huabao, you don’t have any objections to me treating Huo Shen like this, do you?” Lin Xuan asked.

As he asked this, Lin Xun deliberately glanced in Huo Shen’s direction.

Even though he already knew what Su Hua’s answer would be.

He still wanted to hear it, and to keep irritating Huo Shen.

He wanted to show off his affection one last time in front of Huo Shen.

“No,” Su Hua said with a curl of her lips. “I never cared about this Huo Shen. Xuan, you can handle Huo Shen however you like.”

Huo Shen felt as if a needle had pierced his heart, the pain excruciating.

Everything he had done, he had done for Hua’er.

Why was Hua’er still so cold and heartless?

“Good.”

Lin Xuan smiled and said, “Before, Huabao was always giving me rewards. Now it’s my turn to give you one.”

His arm circled Su Hua’s slender waist.

He pulled her close to his body.

Su Hua’s eyes lit up slightly.

What was Xuan doing?

Could it be…

Expectation filled Su Hua’s gaze.

She loved feeling forced by Xuan.

Lin Xuan pressed his lips down, and Su Hua closed her eyes, her soft arms wrapping around Lin Xuan’s neck as she welcomed his searing kiss.

The two kissed, lost in each other.

Huo Shen watched the scene, his fists clenched so tightly they trembled.

Lin Xuan had to be doing this on purpose.

On purpose!

Every time, he did this in front of Huo Shen—growing close to Hua’er.

Lin Xuan was doing this just to torment him.

Perhaps because Su Hua was pregnant, her body had become unusually sensitive. Just this kiss alone left her feeling overwhelmed.

Her body went limp.

Her cheeks flushed deep red, and her beautiful eyes glistened with a mist of tears.

She looked like she had been thoroughly ravished.

After only two minutes of kissing, Su Hua went weak against Lin Xuan.

He didn’t want Huo Shen to see Su Hua like this.

He turned her face toward his chest.

Lin Xuan gave a cold order: “Take Huo Shen away. Send him abroad. He is never to set foot in Xia Kingdom again.”

“Yes, sir.”

The subordinate responded respectfully.

“Lin Xuan!” Huo Shen gritted his teeth. “Don’t think you’ve won. I’m telling you, as long as I’m not dead, I’ll have a chance to come back.”

“Just wait. I will take Hua’er back from you. And you, I’ll tear you apart limb from limb.”

The humiliation he suffered today.

He would repay Lin Xuan a thousand, a million times over.

Su Hua’s eyes, previously clouded with desire, suddenly grew dark and cold.

Tear Xuan apart limb from limb?

How wonderful.

Lin Xun gave a light scoff. “Then, Master Huo, I’ll be waiting with bated breath.”

If it weren’t for Grandpa Su’s sake, he wouldn’t be letting Huo Shen off so easily.

This time, he would let it be a lesson for Huo Shen.

He would have people watch Huo Shen. Huo Shen wouldn’t be able to stir up any more trouble. If Huo Shen tried anything else, the next time, he wouldn’t be spared.

“Hua’er.”

Huo Shen gazed at Su Hua with deep emotion. “I truly love you. Wait for me. I will return to your side one day.”

Lin Xuan couldn’t hold back anymore.

He strode forward and kicked Huo Shen hard in the chest.

“Cough, cough—” Huo Shen fell onto his back, blood spurting from his mouth.

“Huo Shen, right now, in front of me, you’re nothing but an ant that can be crushed at any time. An ant like you has no hope of turning things around.”

Having said that, Lin Xuan turned to look at Su Hua, his cold expression softening. “Huabao, let’s go.”

Su Hua bit her lip and said, “Xuan, my legs are weak.”

Before, she had been faking it.

But this time, it was real.

“I’ll carry you.”

Lin Xuan lifted Su Hua horizontally in his arms.

He strode toward the entrance of the villa.

Huo Shen watched as Lin Xuan and Su Hua’s figures grew farther and farther away until they completely disappeared from his sight.

“Ahhh—” Huo Shen pounded the ground with his fists.

Everything he had meticulously planned, he had still lost.

With this defeat, he couldn’t even return to the country, let alone ever take Hua’er back.

“How could this be? Why did I fail?” Huo Shen’s eyes turned red.

Lin Xuan placed Su Hua in the back seat of the car and was about to get in himself.

“Young Master Lin.”

Hong Yuanjie called out to him.

Lin Xuan turned around. Seeing that Hong Yuanjie was calling him, he asked, “Is there something?”

Bang!

Hong Yuanjie dropped heavily to his knees on the ground.

There was a piece of glass on the ground.

The sharp shard pierced through Hong Yuanjie’s trousers and embedded itself in his knee.

Ignoring the pain in his knee, Hong Yuanjie solemnly kowtowed to Lin Xuan.

“Young Master Lin, I’m sorry. I used to despise you like that.”

“You were clearly excellent, yet I held such prejudice against you.”

Lin Xuan said, “That is in the past. And your contempt doesn’t really matter to me.”

Hong Yuanjie had looked down on him in the past.

But with Huabao there, the furthest Hong Yuanjie ever went was gossiping about him behind his back and shooting him a few dirty looks. None of that affected him one bit.

In fact, he and Huabao had even shown off their affection a few times in front of Hong Yuanjie.

That pissed Hong Yuanjie off to no end.

Lin Xuan had always just seen Hong Yuanjie as a source of amusement.

Hong Yuanjie listened to Lin Xuan’s words and felt more than ever that Lin Xuan was magnanimous and generous.

“Young Master Lin, I treated you so poorly, and yet you hold no grudges at all. No wonder President Su likes you. Your tolerance is something very few people possess,” Hong Yuanjie said.

Lin Xuan: “???”

Hong Yuanjie’s words made him sound like some kind of saint.

He, Lin Xuan, was no saint.

He enjoyed tormenting people.

Anyone who crossed him, he wanted to make their life a living hell.

“Young Master Lin.”

Hong Yuanjie kowtowed to Lin Xuan again. “Thank you for exposing Huo Shen’s true face. Otherwise, I would have spent my whole life serving an enemy as if I were nothing more than a beast of burden.”

“And thank you for dealing with Huo Shen for me.”

From now on, he would serve Young Master Lin like an ox or a horse, repaying his kindness.

Lin Xuan said, “You don’t need to thank me. Everything I did was just to clear the path for my relationship with Huabao. Helping you was just a side benefit.”

“Drive on.”

Lin Xuan got into the car.

As soon as the door closed, a woman as supple as a water snake wound her way around him.

“Xuan.”

Su Hua said, her voice husky, “I feel terrible.”

Her fingers couldn’t help but slip under Lin Xuan’s clothes, touching his abdominal muscles.

“Huabao,” Lin Xuan said strictly. “You’re pregnant now. If we do that, it will be bad for your body and the baby. Bear with it for now, okay?”

“It’s fine.”

Su Hua lifted the corner of her mouth. “Xuan can help me in other ways. Like—”

Su Hua’s red lips pressed against Lin Xuan’s ear, and she whispered two words.

Lin Xuan: “!!!”

How could he have forgotten about that method?

“Xuan.”

Su Hua’s voice was filled with suppressed desire. “You tempted me today. You have to take responsibility.”

Lin Xuan regretted it.

If he had known better, he wouldn’t have run over to kiss Huabao just to show off one last time in front of Huo Shen.

He had walked right into his own trap.
