"Qianqian," Lin Chang said kindly, "Why are you here?"
Lin Li, standing at the corner of the staircase, felt a surge of hope rising within him.
Could it be that the apology letters he had been writing to Shen Qianqian over the past few days had finally paid off?
He desperately needed the Shen Family.
If Shen Qianqian could continue to accept him and maintain their marriage, he could use her to clear up the mess surrounding his affair with Qin Ruoyao.
Moreover, the cooperation between the Shen Family and the Lin Family could continue.
After Shen Qianqian's father passed away, the vast wealth of the Shen Family would also become his.
"I can convince my father to continue working with you," Shen Qianqian said, raising her chin proudly, "But I have conditions."
"What conditions?" Lin Chang asked eagerly.
"I want to keep our arranged marriage with your family," Shen Qianqian said.
Lin Li's eyes lit up.
As he had expected!
Shen Qianqian was willing to reconcile with him.
Lin Chang nodded eagerly, "Qianqian, in my eyes, you will always be my daughter-in-law."
Lin Li was about to walk downstairs, but before he took a step, he heard Shen Qianqian say, "However, my fiancé must be Lin Xuan."
In the shocked gaze of the Lin family members, Shen Qianqian continued, "As long as you let me and Lin Xuan get engaged, your projects will be saved."
Lin Li's face stiffened.
He clenched his fists tightly.
Lin Xuan!
It was always Lin Xuan!
So that was Lin Xuan's goal, to seduce Shen Qianqian back into the Lin Family!
But wasn't Lin Xuan being kept by Su Hua?
Lin Chang's eyebrows furrowed tightly, "Qianqian, how did you get involved with Lin Xuan?"
Shen Qianqian sat on the sofa, her attitude as haughty as ever, "You don't need to ask so much."
She had heard Lin Li mention before that Lin Xuan cared deeply about the Lin Family. Now, he might just be having a falling out with them. Lin Xuan's departure from the Lin Family was probably unavoidable.
If she helped Lin Xuan return to the Lin Family, maybe he would be grateful to her.
Lin Chang frowned.
As long as it meant the projects could continue, allowing Lin Xuan and Shen Qianqian to get engaged was not a bad idea. The Shen Family could also help the Lin Family in many ways.
Jiang Shuqin pulled Lin Chang to the staircase.
She whispered, "Honey, don't agree to Shen Qianqian. The Shen Family looks down on us. We don't need to humiliate ourselves by rushing to please them."
Lin Chang frowned, "No, this involves billions of investment. We must agree."
"But, honey, Shen Qianqian was originally Lin Li's fiancée. If you turn around and let Lin Xuan get engaged to her, where will Lin Li's face go?" Jiang Shuqin protested.
If Lin Li found out about this, how heartbroken would he be?
"There's no room for discussion! Jiang Shuqin, don't cause any trouble later. If you ruin this, don't blame me for divorcing you!" Lin Chang warned coldly.
Lin Li clenched his fists.
Interest, it was always about interest!
Would his so-called father discard him without a second thought if he ever became useless?
Lin Li also thought of the child in Jiang Shuqin's belly.
If it were a boy, he would never allow him to be born!
Lin Li's eyes darkened.
Lin Chang returned to Shen Qianqian's side, speaking with a friendly attitude, "Qianqian, it's truly our Lin Family's fault. I feel deeply apologetic. Since you've taken a liking to Lin Xuan, I will do my best to bring you two together."
"Alright, I'll be waiting," Shen Qianqian said, her heels clicking as she left.
Lin Qingwan's eyes were filled with excitement.
Could it be that Lin Xuan could return to the Lin Family now?
Then their family could be together again, happy and harmonious.
Lin Xuan returned to Ye Yuan.
After dinner, he entered his personal space to write scripts. Once he developed the entertainment company and Hu Yin, he could start working on games.
As for his physical abilities, he had managed to barely outmatch Su Hua.
He could set that aside for now and not push himself too hard.
At 9 PM, Lin Xuan opened a video call with Su Hua. Su Hua was wearing a bathrobe, her face slightly flushed from the steam.
Just out of the bath, she looked incredibly alluring.
Lin Xuan looked at her damp hair and said, "Hua, go dry your hair first. Wet hair isn't good for your health."
"Mm," Su Hua responded.
She picked up the hair dryer and started drying her hair. For the past half a year, it had been Lin Xuan who had been drying her hair for her.
Without Lin Xuan by her side, Su Hua felt deeply uncomfortable.
Her heart was also filled with an emptiness that was hard to bear.
After her hair was dry, Lin Xuan said, "Hua, it's been thirty hours and five minutes. I miss you."
"Me too," Su Hua's lips curved slightly, "I miss you too."
Lin Xuan and Su Hua talked for nearly half an hour.
Suddenly, a playful idea struck him, and he started teasing Su Hua.
"Hua, I suddenly feel like being with you in bed... (omitted)"
Su Hua's eyes darkened.
Lin Xuan continued, "I want to kiss your eyebrows, your lips..."
He let loose, saying all sorts of sweet nothings.
Su Hua was abroad.
She couldn't do anything to him. In the past, as soon as he teased her, he would light a fire within her, and then things would get... ahem.
This time, he had to make the most of it.
He was determined to tease her to the point of wanting more.
Before he was reborn, the Heavens had infused Lin Xuan with a vast amount of knowledge from other worlds, including countless novels.
Lin Xuan had refined some of those novelistic love lines and fed them to Su Hua.
The passion in his words grew increasingly explicit, making one blush and beat faster.
Su Hua, on the surface, remained calm, showing no emotional fluctuation.
Lin Xuan frowned.
This didn't make sense. How could Su Hua be so unaffected?
"Hua, the way you look when you're aroused drives me crazy..."
"Click!"
Su Hua suddenly cut off the video call.
Lin Xuan sat on the bed, his legs crossed in victory. Su Hua had been so impatient to hang up the phone; most likely, she was going to take care of herself.
He had thought she was unmoved, but it turned out she had been pretending.
Winning this round felt amazing.
After cutting off the call with Lin Xuan, Su Hua called Jiang Qing.
Su Hua had been working non-stop for over a day.
Even her secretary, Jiang Qing, had suffered, only getting four hours of sleep last night.
Jiang Qing returned to the hotel, took a shower, and fell asleep immediately.
When Su Hua called her, Jiang Qing was in the middle of a beautiful dream.
The sound of her phone ringing woke her up, and her resentment was greater than that of a ghost.
She picked up her phone and saw it was Su Hua.
Jiang Qing's resentment vanished instantly.
This was her boss, her breadwinner. If she woke her up, so be it. No big deal.
"Ms. Su," Jiang Qing answered the phone, her tone respectful, "What are your instructions?"
Su Hua said, "Gather everyone. It's overtime."
"Is something happening in the country, Ms. Su?" Jiang Qing asked worriedly.
It was the first time she had seen Ms. Su act so urgently.
"There's an urgent matter," Su Hua said, touching the ring on her left hand, speaking slowly.
Ah Xuan, your boldness is growing...
