The Waiting Wife Stone

Shao Xingfan was utterly amazed by this game. In this world, gaming technology was still quite backward—there had never been a game with such high interactivity, autonomy, and competitiveness.

Shao Xingfan became completely absorbed, reluctant to leave.

He returned to his office and continued developing the game.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qing brought the two bodyguards back to Tianmu Group.

As Lei Hui was leaving the company, he ran into Jiang Qing at the entrance.

"Secretary Jiang," Lei Hui said, bewildered. "What’s this about...?"

Hadn’t she taken them away earlier?

Why were they now tied up and escorted back?

Jiang Qing replied, "President Su instructed us to return them to that office, making Young Master Lin believe they were never taken away. Also, don’t let him know I was here."

"Got it," Lei Hui nodded.

"Then I’ll leave it to you, President Lei," Jiang Qing said with a slight bow.

After taking the two bodyguards back to the office, Lei Hui followed Lin Xuan’s method and tied their feet again.

He then called his daughter.

"Sweetheart, Daddy still has work to do at the company. Be good at home and listen to your cousin, okay?"

After hanging up, Lei Hui dragged a chair to the door of Lin Xuan’s office and sat down.

He intended to wait for Lin Xuan to return and ask about his relationship with President Su.

He absolutely wasn’t just there for gossip.

Absolutely not!

He was merely ensuring Jiang Qing didn’t take the bodyguards away to use them against the boss.

If it turned out the boss had no connection with President Su or Secretary Jiang, he’d have to report everything that happened today.

Lei Hui had assumed he’d uncover some juicy details about Lin Xuan and Su Hua that very night.

But Lin Xuan never showed up.

Instead, he sent a message:

**[You can let them go now.]**

Lei Hui: "..."

He’d waited nearly an hour for this? Just this?

*@&%¥#**&*

After returning to Yeyuan, Su Hua sat at the dining table but only picked at her dinner, her appetite gone.

She then took a bath and changed into a pure white lace nightgown.

Outwardly, she crossed her legs elegantly, reclining on the sofa as she flipped through *The Art of War*.

But her mind was already wandering far away.

Every so often, her gaze drifted to the clock on the wall.

Butler Wang noticed Su Hua’s glances and chuckled, shaking his head.

If Young Master Lin didn’t return soon, the young miss would practically turn into a "longing stone."

People said relationships grew dull over time, but this young couple seemed inseparable—never tiring of each other, only growing closer.

All that was left was for them to marry and have children. Then his life would truly be complete.

Butler Wang’s eyes brimmed with warmth.

Another twenty minutes passed.

Finally, footsteps echoed from outside. Su Hua knew Lin Xuan’s steps well—she recognized them instantly.

Pretending not to notice, she kept her eyes on the book.

"Hua Bao," Lin Xuan called out.

Only then did Su Hua act as though she’d just realized he was back.

"Ah Xuan, you’re back." She closed the magazine and stood, as if she hadn’t been anxiously waiting moments ago.

Her eyes, as always, softened with affection as she subtly checked Lin Xuan for any signs of injury.

Relief washed over her when she saw none.

"Young Master Lin," Butler Wang smiled. "You’ve finally returned. Without you here, the young miss barely ate."

"Ah Xuan, I just didn’t have much appetite," Su Hua admitted casually.

She walked to Lin Xuan, stood on her tiptoes, and whispered by his ear with a playful smile, "The food tastes best when Ah Xuan feeds me—especially like last time in the office, when you fed me… with your mouth… right in front of Assistant Shao."

Lin Xuan: "..."

Why were such inappropriate images flashing through his mind?

He must be overthinking it. Hua Bao couldn’t possibly mean that.

"How much did Hua Bao eat tonight?" Lin Xuan frowned at Butler Wang.

"Just one oyster and a few greens," Butler Wang answered truthfully.

"That’s not enough."

Lin Xuan’s brow furrowed deeper.

"Hua Bao, I’m hungry too. Keep me company while I eat."

He took Su Hua’s delicate hand and led her back to the dining table, resuming his role as her feeder.

Perhaps influenced by Su Hua’s earlier words, Lin Xuan’s mind wandered as he watched her lips part around an oyster.

*Damn it!*

What was he thinking?

Flustered, he averted his gaze—but Su Hua noticed.

Her eyes sparkled with amusement. "What’s Ah Xuan looking at?"

"Uh, nothing," Lin Xuan dodged.

"Ah Xuan must be hungry too. Let me feed you," Su Hua said softly.

*Feed?*

*Like… that kind of feed?*

Lin Xuan tensed.

But Su Hua simply picked up an oyster and brought it to his lips.

Lin Xuan exhaled.

Just a normal feeding, then.

He wasn’t sure if he was relieved or disappointed.

After dinner:

"By the way, Hua Bao, I brought two people back. I’d like to send them to the Shadow Guards for training. Is that alright?" Lin Xuan asked.

Cheng Da and Cheng Er’s skills were limited, and Su Hua’s Shadow Guards had their own rigorous methods.

They’d be perfect for refining the two.

"If Ah Xuan wants my help, there’s a price," Su Hua murmured, her eyes glinting with mischief.

She signaled Butler Wang, who promptly ushered the servants out of the dining room.

Lin Xuan remembered the last two times he’d asked for Su Hua’s help—she’d demanded he *pleasure her with his body*...

Before he could dwell on it, the stunning woman settled onto his lap, her soft arms looping around his neck.

"Does Ah Xuan know what to do?" Su Hua’s lips brushed the corner of his mouth, their breaths mingling.

Whenever Su Hua searched for Lin Xuan, dark thoughts crept in—*Lock him away. Then no one can take him, endanger him, or steal him from me.*

The urge clawed at her relentlessly.

Only after his call to Jiang Qing did it ease slightly.

But it wasn’t enough.
