Wang Yajun had been using her husband as a cover for so long, and it seemed she would continue to do so.
But then he passed away...
The most likely explanation was that her husband had come to his senses and discovered Wang Yajun's affair.
Without hesitation, Wang Yajun decided to eliminate him.
The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the more convinced he became of this possibility. He immediately sent people to keep a close watch on Wang Yajun's apartment.
If her husband were to wake up, they were to report it to him immediately.
After giving these instructions, Lin Xuan went to take a shower. He had been spending almost every night in bed with Su Hua lately, and he was exhausted.
With Su Hua away on a business trip, he needed to catch up on some much-needed rest.
The next day, in the classroom, Lin Xuan was sketching a model of a "Ludan" (a cute character) in his notebook.
Wang Dahe walked up to him, munching on a piece of bread, and asked curiously, "Xuan, what are you drawing?"
Lin Xuan replied, "A game character model."
Wang Dahe frowned, looking disdainful. "It looks so cute. How can it possibly have any combat power?"
Lin Xuan also frowned.
The Ludan character was indeed quite adorable.
In the game's alternate world, its cuteness, short legs, and occasional long-range cannon shots to steal kills made it a magnet for hatred.
Its fragile build also made it a frequent target of gang-ups, earning it the title of the most-deceased hero in the game's canyon.
There was even a saying in the game's community: "The team fight can be lost, but Ludan must die."
Should he add some survival skills to the character, like a dash or blink ability?
Lin Xuan thought about it for a moment.
But then he decided against it.
A character this cute deserved to get beaten up.
After all, it was a favorite among many female players, including a certain stubborn, daily-updating, yandere-novel author who was terrible at the game but loved playing it anyway.
"Boss," Lei Hui called Lin Xuan. "Neither of our two animations passed the review."
"What was the reason?" Lin Xuan asked, frowning.
"They said it could negatively influence children."
Lin Xuan's frown deepened.
Lei Hui explained, "After some digging, I found out that Starlight Group was behind this. No matter how we modify our animations, they'll keep blocking us from passing the review."
"Hah—"
Lin Xuan let out a cold laugh. "It seems Lin Chang is trying to ruin my company."
Did Lin Chang think that by doing this, he could force Lin Xuan to return to the Lin family?
But Lin Chang failed to realize that Lin Xuan wouldn't have revealed his identity so early without a trump card.
That trump card was Su Hua.
Lin Xuan didn't feel the least bit ashamed about relying on his girlfriend.
Sometimes, you just had to swallow your pride and accept help when it was offered.
Lin Xuan stroked his chin, deep in thought.
It seemed he would have to seduce his beloved Hua properly.
However, every time he tried to charm her, Su Hua would become like an athlete on steroids—her energy, stamina, and endurance skyrocketed.
Damn it!
His kidneys were in danger!
"Boss, what should we do about this?" Lei Hui asked.
"Just stay the course and keep doing what you're doing," Lin Xuan said with a smirk.
"Understood."
Back at Night Garden, Lin Xuan cleared his throat lightly. "Butler Wang, could you prepare some nourishing soup for me every day for the next few days?"
He needed to replenish his energy so he could handle Su Hua when she returned.
"Of course, Young Master Lin," Butler Wang replied with a knowing smile.
Just a few days ago, who was it that refused to drink the nourishing soup?
And now, here we are.
Lin Li had been staying in the hospital for several days before finally moving back home.
Recently, his mood had been extremely dark.
The servants were all too afraid to provoke him.
At the moment, Lin Li was lying in bed, enduring the constant pain in his lower body—a painful reminder of his emasculation.
The pain flared up every day for about an hour, and it was happening now.
Lin Li clenched his fists tightly.
"Knock, knock, knock—" came a sound at the door.
"Come in," Lin Li said through gritted teeth.
A servant cautiously entered the room.
"Young Master," the servant said respectfully, "Miss Qin is here. She wants to see you. Should I let her in?"
Lin Li's expression turned terrifying.
The servant kept his head down.
The young master used to be so kind, but lately, he had become a completely different person—frightening and unpredictable.
"Let her in," Lin Li said, his eyes cold and menacing.
"Yes."
The servant hurried out, gasping for air as soon as he left the room.
The young master had truly become terrifying.
"Miss Qin, the young master is in his room. Please follow me," the servant said, leading Qin Ruoyao into the Lin residence.
Qin Ruoyao looked at the grand villa, her heart filled with anxiety.
She was afraid that without the child, the Lin family might change their attitude toward her and prevent her from marrying into the family.
But she still had one card to play—Lin Li.
As long as Lin Li stood firmly by her side, the Lin family wouldn't be able to oppose them forever.
Qin Ruoyao entered Lin Li's room, and the servant quietly closed the door behind her.
"Li, I heard you were badly injured. Are you okay?" Qin Ruoyao asked with concern.
Lin Li remained silent, his dark eyes fixed on her.
Qin Ruoyao bit her lip. "I'm sorry, Li. I couldn't protect our child."
Her eyes welled up with tears, making her look pitiful.
"You should be sorry!" Lin Li suddenly grabbed Qin Ruoyao by her hair, forcing her head closer to him.
The veins on his hand bulged.
"Qin Ruoyao, why did you go out to that class reunion so late at night?"
"If you had just stayed home, none of this would have happened!"
Lin Li shouted angrily.
This was the first time Qin Ruoyao had seen Lin Li in such a dark and terrifying state. Fear began to rise in her heart.
"Li, please don't be like this. You're scaring me," Qin Ruoyao said, tears brimming in her eyes.
"Scared?" Lin Li sneered. "You know what fear is now?"
"If you had been afraid, you wouldn't have gone out to that party in the middle of the night!"
"If you hadn't gone, the people I sent wouldn't have had the chance to kill the child!"
Then Lin Li wouldn't have lost his only heir!
Qin Ruoyao was stunned.
"Li, did you say... you sent people?"
She thought she must have misheard.
"Li, are you feeling unwell? Maybe you're confused," Qin Ruoyao said softly, trying to guide him to lie down.
"I'm perfectly clear-headed!" Lin Li shoved her hand away.
"Ah—"
Qin Ruoyao fell to the floor. Seeing Lin Li's terrifying expression, she wanted to run away.
"Let me make it clear, Qin Ruoyao. I was the one who sent people to get rid of that child. I spent five million to have it done!" Lin Li said, his face twisted with madness.
And in doing so, he had destroyed his only chance at having an heir.

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
