Su Guoxiong quickly adjusted the position of the newspaper.
He pretended to remain calm, "I didn't hold it upside down. I was just looking at the pictures in reverse."
Lin Xuan placed Su Hua on the sofa and sat down beside her.
Su Guoxiong subtly observed Lin Xuan and Su Hua.
Both of their faces were still flushed.
Especially Su Hua, whose eyes still carried a hint of satisfaction.
As someone who had been through it all, how could he not guess what the young couple had just been up to?
Not bad, not bad at all.
Su Guoxiong couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
As soon as Su Hua returned to the country, she couldn't wait to spend time with her boyfriend, leaving even her grandfather neglected.
He had been worried that his granddaughter might be too reserved in matters of intimacy, but it seemed he had overthought it.
It wouldn't be long before he could hold a great-grandchild in his arms.
Su Guoxiong was in an exceptionally good mood.
Su Hua asked with a displeased expression, "Grandpa, why didn't you let me know you were coming?"
Otherwise, she would never have allowed him to disturb them tonight.
"Is it wrong for a grandfather to visit his granddaughter and her boyfriend?"
Su Guoxiong pretended to be upset.
Su Hua glanced at him coldly, clearly indicating that it was indeed wrong.
"Su Hua," Su Guoxiong clutched his chest, feigning hurt, "Are you abandoning your grandfather now that you have a boyfriend?"
Suddenly, Su Hua felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
She only frowned slightly.
"I have something to attend to. I'll go back to my room for a moment."
The living room was now left with Su Guoxiong, Lin Xuan, and a few servants.
After spending time observing Lin Xuan and Su Hua's relationship, Su Guoxiong had come to fully understand how important Lin Xuan was to Su Hua.
Without Lin Xuan, his granddaughter might not be able to go on living.
Su Guoxiong said, "Lin Xuan, my granddaughter was abducted just two months after she was born. After she was brought back at the age of sixteen, she became withdrawn and solitary."
"Later, due to the struggle for the position of the Su family head, she became a target for countless people who wanted her dead. She faced danger many times, even once ending up stranded on an island, her fate unknown."
"So, Su Hua's temperament can be quite unpredictable. She may appear strong on the surface, but deep down, she longs for warmth."
Lin Xuan nodded.
Su Hua was indeed like that.
From their previous life to this one, as long as he showed her a little warmth, she would cling to it desperately.
"Grandpa is glad that you've managed to find a place in her heart. You're probably the only person she truly cares about."
Su Guoxiong saw it clearly.
Su Hua didn't value family ties much. In her heart, Lin Xuan likely held more weight than even him.
"If one day you were to leave her, it would devastate her deeply," Su Guoxiong said kindly, patting Lin Xuan's hand.
"Good child, treat her well. Grandpa hopes that you and Su Hua can walk through life together."
"Grandpa, don't worry. I won't betray Su Hua's trust. Not in this lifetime," Lin Xuan promised.
"Good, good. Grandpa believes in you," Su Guoxiong said, his eyes nearly closing into slits from smiling.
When Su Hua came downstairs, she saw Su Guoxiong patting Lin Xuan's hand.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
"Lin Xuan," Su Guoxiong said, "I heard you started a company called Tianmu Group, right?"
"Yes," Lin Xuan nodded, "It's just a small company."
"It's not small at all."
Su Guoxiong's eyes were filled with admiration. He had thoroughly investigated Tianmu Group.
He found that Lin Xuan had built the company entirely on his own, with little involvement from his granddaughter.
In just eight months, he had turned a novel website into an industry leader, and his short video platform was also thriving.
Such boldness and strong business acumen.
The more he looked at Lin Xuan, the more satisfied he became.
Su Hua had found herself a good boyfriend.
Su Guoxiong smiled, "Lin Xuan, if you encounter any problems with your company, feel free to ask this old man or Su Hua for help. Although the Su family isn't omnipotent, we can handle small matters with ease."
"Thank you, Grandpa," Lin Xuan nodded.
Su Hua watched as the two of them chatted without a care, completely ignoring her presence.
She pursed her lips, her expression darkening.
"Grandpa," she finally couldn't hold back, "You've been sitting here for a while now. You must be tired. Let me have the driver take you back to rest."
"This old man is still in good health. I'm not tired," Su Guoxiong chuckled.
"It's only 7:30. There's still plenty of time. I can stay for another two hours."
"Lin Xuan, let me tell you, managing a company involves many intricacies. Let me share some of the mistakes I made in the past…"
Su Guoxiong turned back to Lin Xuan and continued talking.
He went on and on.
Su Hua clenched her fists, her eyes darkening.
If he weren't her grandfather, he would have already been dragged away by her people.
"Grandpa," Su Hua spoke up, "There's a company matter I need your advice on. Come with me to the study for a moment."
Su Guoxiong gave his granddaughter a suspicious look.
She had always been decisive and independent, never seeking his opinion on company matters before.
Why was she acting so out of character today?
This wasn't like her at all.
Su Guoxiong glanced thoughtfully at Lin Xuan.
When he had been talking to Lin Xuan earlier, Su Hua's expression had been off. Now she was asking the driver to take him back and sending him to the study.
Could it be that Su Hua was eager to spend some alone time with Lin Xuan?
The more Su Guoxiong thought about it, the more he believed this was the case.
Su Hua saw him as a third wheel.
"Alright," Su Guoxiong nodded with a smile.
He followed Su Hua to the study, while Lin Xuan stayed behind in the living room, waiting for them.
"Su Hua, what did you want to discuss with Grandpa?" Su Guoxiong asked with a smile.
Su Hua replied, "Grandpa, do you want to hold a great-grandchild?"
"Of course!" Su Guoxiong answered without hesitation.
A soft, adorable baby—he had been dreaming of it.
Su Hua said, "If you want to hold a great-grandchild, then visit Night Garden less often. That way, you won't interrupt me and Lin Xuan when we're being intimate. Once the baby is born, you can take care of it."
The promise was both grand and tempting.
Su Guoxiong thought back to the scene earlier when Lin Xuan had carried Su Hua downstairs, and his expression shifted slightly.
He had indeed interrupted them.
"Alright, alright. Grandpa will listen to you. I won't come over anymore," the old man nodded with a smile.
"Then, Grandpa, can you head back now?" Su Hua's expression softened.
Su Guoxiong suddenly remembered the incident from last night.
"Su Hua, I don't want what happened last night to occur again," Su Guoxiong said sternly.
"Grandpa, what are you referring to?" Su Hua asked calmly as she sat on the desk.
She picked up a glass of water.
As she drank, her mind involuntarily replayed the scene of her and Lin Xuan on the desk. A faint smile crept onto her lips.
