Protecting the Husband

Lin Xuan didn’t feel the slightest bit of fear; instead, he was quite pleased.

Hua Bao really did protect her man.

Besides, Huo Shen was someone who had been hanging around Hua Bao quite a bit, and she even killed him for Lin Xuan’s sake.

That member of the Golden Dragon Gang went on, “Boss, you don’t know how cruel that Dark Night Rose really is. She made Huo Shen watch as she fed his own flesh to a white tiger.”

If he were Huo Shen,

he would have been utterly devastated.

“I wonder what Huo Shen did to offend Dark Night Rose. Her methods are just way too terrifying,” the gang member remarked with a shudder.

From now on, no matter who you mess with, don’t ever cross Dark Night Rose.

Now he finally understood why people in the underworld said Dark Night Rose was a demoness.

“Terrifying?” Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. “I don’t think so. If anything, I think she handled it quite beautifully.”

The gang member was speechless. “...Boss, if it weren’t for the fact that you and Miss Su are a couple, I’d honestly say you and Dark Night Rose would be perfect together.”

If their boss ended up with Dark Night Rose,

with one being the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang and the other the head of the Night Rose Alliance,

they’d be a force that no one in the underworld would dare to challenge.

“Yeah, I agree,” Lin Xuan nodded. “Dark Night Rose and I have very similar temperaments.”

The subordinate was dumbfounded.

“Alright, that’s enough,” Lin Xuan said. “It’s getting late now, you can go rest.”

“Yes.”

The subordinate respectfully acknowledged.

“Oh, and Hua Bao and I are getting married on the ninth of next month. Make sure you guys come, but remember to disguise yourselves well so no one finds out you’re from the Golden Dragon Gang,” Lin Xuan added.

“Don’t worry, boss. We’ll make sure our disguises are foolproof,” the subordinate promised, thumping his chest.

After hanging up,

Lin Xuan rubbed his chin.

On the ninth of next month, he had to get everything ready to give Hua Bao the most spectacular, grandest wedding.

Meanwhile, Su Hua finished dealing with Huo Shen and rushed back overnight.

She didn’t go straight back to Night Garden right away.

Worried that Lin Xuan might pick up on the smell of blood clinging to her, she made a point to take a shower and change into a clean set of clothes before returning.

In Night Garden, Su Hua didn’t see Lin Xuan anywhere.

She frowned slightly. “Butler Wang, where’s Ah Xuan?”

“Miss, Master Lin went out at nine this morning. From what I overheard on his phone call, he seemed to be planning the wedding,”

Butler Wang said with a smile. “Miss, he’s already started arranging the wedding so early. He really cares deeply for you.”

“Hmm.”

Su Hua’s crimson lips curved into a smile.

Her gaze landed on the photograph hanging on the wall—a picture of her and Ah Xuan.

A sweet grin spread across her face.

Life was wonderful now.

In the past, she never dared to imagine that she would ever marry Ah Xuan.

It had all been just a wishful fantasy.

But now, that fantasy had become reality.

How wonderful it was.

She and Ah Xuan had left behind those two years of arguments and hysterics. Now, they were happy and sweet, and they would stay that way forever.

Butler Wang and Aunt Zhao saw the smile on Su Hua’s face and smiled as well.

“Old Wang,” Aunt Zhao said, “what do you think—baby is having a boy or a girl?”

Butler Wang answered, “A girl. I think a girl would be better—a cozy little sweetheart.”

Aunt Zhao argued back, “I’d rather it be a boy. If it’s a boy, he can take over the company early and spare Miss and Master from having to run it so hard.”

Butler Wang said, “Then it’d be best if it were boy and girl twins.”

Aunt Zhao nodded in agreement. “Twins—that’s a great idea.”

“One of us can take care of one,” Aunt Zhao added, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.

At that,

Butler Wang sighed. “I don’t think it’ll be up to us to be the ones raising them. Don’t forget, Old Man Su and Old Man Jiang have their eyes glued to that baby. Last time they came to see Miss and Master, they argued until they were red in the face over who would raise the child. We’re just servants—how could it possibly fall to us?”

Aunt Zhao sighed too.

That’s it then.

She wasn’t going to get to raise the child.

At Shangqing University, in the chip and lithography project team,

all the members gathered together, staring intently at the performance test results of their latest chip.

“Wow!!”

Suddenly, the lab erupted in cheers.

“Yes!”

“We did it.”

“We really succeeded this time.”

Every single one of their faces was alive with excitement and triumph.

The development of these chips and lithography machines represented world-class technology, always monopolized by other nations.

Many domestic companies had been researching this technology,

but progress had been slow.

They were just ordinary students who hadn’t even graduated yet.

When they first learned that Lin Xuan was going to lead them in working on the lithography and chip project,

they couldn’t believe it.

They held no hope whatsoever.

Because this was a project that seemed doomed to fail from the start.

Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded!

The chip they developed was the most advanced and precise one in the world.

It would be a major national breakthrough.

"Lin Xuan really is a god."

The lab members were filled with admiration.

"Absolutely. Lin Xuan is a genius. Who would have thought he could lead us to develop a project like this chip!"

Everyone involved in this project knew full well that they were lucky.

Given their own skill levels, even if they had decades more time, they could never have completed this project on their own.

It was Lin Xuan.

It was Lin Xuan who provided the plan, guided them step by step, and frequently showed up to solve their toughest problems.

That’s how they achieved such a great success!

Even if it weren’t them—if Lin Xuan had led another group of people on this project—the chip and the lithography machine would still have been developed.

So, they were all the lucky ones chosen by Lin Xuan.

"Thank God we were selected by Lin Xuan back then. Otherwise, how could we have had the honor of participating in the research on chips and lithography machines?"

The students’ eyes were full of gratitude toward Lin Xuan.

The employees from the Su Group and Tianmu Group involved in the project were also extremely excited.

"Come on, let’s go tell the principal about this."

"Luo Yuan, Wang Dahe, you two should go tell the principal."

Since they were both friends of Lin Xuan and participants in the chip project, they were the most suitable people to deliver the news.

"Alright," Wang Dahe nodded.

"Later, I’ll also tell Xuanzi the good news."

Wang Dahe and Luo Yuan went to see the principal.

Wang Dahe called Lin Xuan and said, "Xuanzi, I’ve got great news for you."

Lin Xuan replied, "You’re talking about the chip project being a success, right?"

"Xuanzi, how did you know?" Wang Dahe was taken aback.
