Night Garden.
"Boss Su, the roses, love letter, and bank card have all been delivered to Young Master Lin," Jiang Qing reported.
"Mm," Su Hua nodded.
"By the way," Su Hua hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "What was Xuan's reaction when he received those gifts?"
"Young Master Lin seemed quite delighted. He said he really liked them," Jiang Qing replied with a smile.
"That's good to hear," Su Hua's crimson lips curled into a smile.
Jiang Qing's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a book on the coffee table. She had initially thought it was some business magazine.
But when she saw the bold title on the cover, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Step-by-Step Guide to Conquering Handsome Young Men"?
What the hell?
Boss Su is reading this?
No wonder she had us buy flowers, write love letters, and even give Young Master Lin a bank card today.
So, all of this came from that book.
And after being provoked by Shen Qianqian and Young Master Lin's arranged marriage, instead of locking him up, Boss Su decided to conquer him both physically and mentally?
Su Hua picked up the book from the coffee table and began reading it intently.
Jiang Qing shook her head as she watched Su Hua.
Indeed, love can change a woman.
"Boss Su, I still have some work to report," Jiang Qing said respectfully.
She figured it was best to report these tasks to Boss Su now.
Judging by Boss Su's current state, she probably wouldn't be going to the company for the next few days.
"Go ahead," Su Hua nodded.
"Yes."
Su Hua listened to Jiang Qing while simultaneously reading the book, multitasking effortlessly.
Just as Jiang Qing finished her report and was about to leave, a few text messages came in.
Jiang Qing glanced at her phone and saw that they were from the people monitoring Lin Xuan.
Ever since Lin Li had informed Su Hua about Lin Xuan and Shen Qianqian's relationship, although Su Hua trusted Lin Xuan, she couldn't shake off a strong sense of unease.
She had Jiang Qing assign two people to keep an eye on Lin Xuan.
If they noticed Lin Xuan interacting with any other women, they were to report it to her immediately.
The two subordinates had sent Jiang Qing photos of Lin Xuan and Shen Qianqian meeting at a coffee shop.
Jiang Qing felt a headache coming on as she read the messages.
What the hell is going on?
At a time like this, Young Master Lin is out having coffee with Shen Qianqian.
And to make matters worse, in the photo, Shen Qianqian is smiling sweetly, her hand reaching toward Young Master Lin's face. It might just be a trick of the angle, but in the photo, it looks like she's touching his face.
The two of them look like a couple deeply in love.
This is bad. If Boss Su sees this, she's going to be furious.
Su Hua noticed the change in Jiang Qing's expression and frowned slightly, "What's going on?"
"Boss Su," Jiang Qing's voice trembled slightly, "Wang Erhu, who's been monitoring Young Master Lin, sent a message saying... Young Master Lin and Shen Qianqian are having coffee at Blue Mountain Coffee Shop."
"And here are their photos."
Jiang Qing wiped the sweat from her forehead.
The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense.
The faint smile on Su Hua's face had long since vanished, replaced by a cold expression.
After a long silence, Su Hua spoke in a chilling tone, "Bring it here."
"Yes."
Jiang Qing nervously handed her phone to Su Hua.
Su Hua looked at the photo of Lin Xuan and Shen Qianqian sitting across from each other, their behavior appearing unusually intimate. Her grip on the phone tightened.
Su Hua suddenly smiled.
She murmured softly, "Xuan, you're really being naughty, aren't you?"
He had told her he had urgent business at the company.
But instead, he was out having coffee with Shen Qianqian.
He had lied to her.
Why?
"Xuan, was all the obedience and affection you showed me these past few months just an act?" Su Hua's voice was hoarse, filled with pain.
Her heart ached terribly.
It seemed like it was all just a dream. Xuan, that light, would never truly belong to her.
But then again... someone like her, destined to be betrayed by everyone, didn't deserve to have any light, did she?
"Xuan, why couldn't you just keep pretending?" Su Hua whispered to herself.
This time, he had acted so convincingly.
Even she had believed that he truly wanted to stay by her side this time.
Even when Lin Li had accused Lin Xuan of seducing Shen Qianqian, she had refused to believe it.
But now...
It was true.
Xuan's heart would always belong to his parents and sister.
As for her, to him, she was probably just a crazy woman with an obsessive desire to possess him.
"Boss Su," Jiang Qing said anxiously, "Maybe there's some misunderstanding here. Shouldn't we call Young Master Lin and ask him about it?"
"No need," Su Hua replied in a hoarse voice, "Send someone to bring him back."
This time, Xuan, you won't have any freedom.
She wouldn't let go, so the only way to keep her Xuan by her side was to lock him up.
"Boss Su..." Jiang Qing protested.
"What? Are you disobeying me now?" Su Hua's icy gaze bore into Jiang Qing.
"Yes," Jiang Qing had no choice but to comply.
She sighed.
Those involved are blind, while onlookers see clearly.
Boss Su was too deeply involved, and this photo had provoked her. As an outsider, Jiang Qing could see that there must be some misunderstanding here.
Well, now they could only wait for Young Master Lin to return and explain everything to Boss Su himself.
"Send someone..." Jiang Qing was about to instruct the team to bring Lin Xuan back when Su Hua's phone rang.
Jiang Qing discreetly glanced at the caller ID.
It was Young Master Lin!
Jiang Qing's eyes lit up.
The person on the other end of the line asked in confusion, "Secretary Jiang, you said to send someone to do something?"
"Never mind, just carry on with your work," Jiang Qing replied with a smile before hanging up.
Young Master Lin, the fire extinguisher, had called. With him around, he would definitely be able to calm Boss Su down.
If they sent people out to bring Young Master Lin back now, Boss Su would probably call them back soon anyway.
So why bother with all the back-and-forth? Too much trouble!
Su Hua's eyes remained fixed on the phone, her fingers tightening around it.
Jiang Qing quietly reached over, swiped to answer the call, and put it on speaker.
"Hua Bao," Lin Xuan's voice came through the phone.
Su Hua pressed her lips together, remaining silent.
"Hua Bao, are you there?" Lin Xuan asked again when Su Hua didn't respond.
Jiang Qing had no choice but to answer for Su Hua, "Young Master Lin, Boss Su is busy right now. If you have something to say, just go ahead. She's listening."
Lin Xuan got straight to the point, "Hua Bao, I'm with Shen Qianqian right now."
The air around Su Hua grew even colder.
With a "crack," she actually crushed a glass in her hand, shards embedding themselves into her flesh.
A servant nearby quickly went to fetch the first aid kit.
Lin Xuan frowned, "What was that sound? What's going on?"
"Young Master Lin," Jiang Qing replied, "I just accidentally broke a glass. It's nothing. Please continue."
It was freezing in the room.
If he didn't say something soon, Boss Su might actually kill someone.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
