Su Hua stared at the love letter over and over again. Was this really meant for her, and not for Qin Ruoyao?
The coldness in Su Hua's demeanor began to fade.
She glanced at Butler Wang, who was now looking up at the ceiling, pretending to know nothing, absolutely nothing.
After reading the contents of the letter, a faint smile crept onto Su Hua's lips.
Butler Wang let out a deep breath of relief. Young Master Lin Xuan really was effective, like a fire extinguisher.
Su Hua read the letter again and then re-read the additional message Lin Xuan had sent afterward.
She dialed Lin Xuan's number. "The love letter was well-written," she said.
Lin Xuan exhaled in relief. At least Su Hua wasn't angry anymore.
"Su Hua, you can rest assured. My heart is set on staying by your side now. I won't even glance at another woman," Lin Xuan vowed.
"Ah Xuan," Su Hua suddenly called out.
"Yes?"
Su Hua continued, "The part you added at the end..."
Lin Xuan's face flushed red.
Truth be told, he had regretted sending that part almost immediately. It was so cringe-worthy that it gave him goosebumps just thinking about it.
"I loved it," Su Hua said, a playful smile on her lips. "Whatever you desire, Ah Xuan, I'll make it happen. I'll be waiting for you at home tonight."
Lin Xuan: "..." Indulging like this every day... wasn't that a bit excessive?
Still, Lin Xuan felt relieved.
Su Hua wasn't angry anymore, and the storm had finally passed.
Ye Li, who had been pretending to sleep, had been eavesdropping on Lin Xuan's conversation the whole time. His expression darkened. How had Lin Xuan managed to escape unscathed this time?
And Lin Xuan's attitude toward Su Hua...
What was going on? Why had Lin Xuan's feelings for Su Hua changed so drastically in such a short time?
Ye Li pretended to have just woken up and asked with feigned curiosity, "Lin Xuan, were you just talking to Qin Ruoyao? Congratulations, it seems like your relationship has improved so much."
"I was talking to Su Hua," Lin Xuan replied, narrowing his eyes at Ye Li.
Ye Li... he had once trusted him deeply, considering him one of his closest friends, second only to Wang Dahe.
But it turned out Ye Li had feelings for Su Hua! Their friendship had been nothing but a calculated move.
Lin Xuan could never forget the smug, triumphant smile Ye Li had worn when he learned that Lin Xuan had married Qin Ruoyao and Su Hua had cut off contact.
In his previous life, Su Hua's frequent punishments of him had been largely due to Ye Li's influence.
Ye Li was also one of the people Lin Xuan had vowed to deal with after being reborn. If someone didn't provoke him, he wouldn't provoke them. But if they did, he would repay them a hundredfold!
First, he needed to teach Ye Li a lesson.
Ye Li frowned, puzzled. "Lin Xuan, why have you suddenly become so nice to Su Hua?"
"Nothing much. I just realized she's a good person, and I want to be with her," Lin Xuan said nonchalantly.
Ye Li grew anxious. "Lin Xuan, you need to think carefully! Su Hua is a yandere. She's capable of doing anything! Her demands will only grow, and even if you give in now, she'll eventually lock you up. You'll lose your freedom!" Ye Li spoke as if he had Lin Xuan's best interests at heart.
"Besides, Lin Xuan, didn't you like Qin Ruoyao? Don't you want to be with the woman you love? If you agree to be with Su Hua, she'll never let you near another woman!"
Lin Xuan sneered. "Ye Li, it seems like you really don't want me to be with Su Hua."
Ye Li replied, "Of course I don't. Lin Xuan, you're my friend. I want you to be with the woman you love."
"Then tell me, if you truly care about me, why did you secretly send that love letter to Su Hua?"
With a loud *smack*, Lin Xuan slammed the letter on the table.
Ye Li remained calm. "Lin Xuan, I did it for your own good. I was trying to help you escape Su Hua."
"Were you doing it for me, or for yourself? You know the answer," Lin Xuan said, laughing bitterly. Qin Ruoyao, Ye Li, Lin Li... the people around him were all such great actors.
"Ye Li, I know you like Su Hua. Let me make this clear: you have no chance. Su Hua likes me, and she won't ever look at you."
"You've seen Su Hua several times when you were with me. You're the school heartthrob, while I used to have thick bangs and black-rimmed glasses. Even when I was at my worst, Su Hua only had eyes for me. She never once glanced your way."
"Ye Li, no matter how hard you try, it's all pointless."
These words struck at Ye Li's very core.
Ye Li's calm facade cracked as he clenched his fists tightly.
It was true. Su Hua didn't care for him. He had tried to subtly win her over, but she remained unmoved.
Su Hua only had eyes for Lin Xuan!
Ye Li thought that only if Su Hua became completely disillusioned with Lin Xuan would he have a chance.
That's why he had always encouraged Lin Xuan to escape from Su Hua and even tried to make Lin Xuan do things that would disgust her.
"Ye Li, I was blind before, blindly following your advice to run away from Su Hua. But now I've woken up. I won't fall for your schemes again!" He would cling to Su Hua tightly.
Ye Li's expression turned grim.
How had this fool Lin Xuan figured it all out?
*Thud—* Lin Xuan suddenly punched Ye Li in the face.
Ye Li's lip split, and blood trickled down. He glared at Lin Xuan, flames in his eyes. "Lin Xuan, what are you doing?"
"Nothing much. My hand was itching, and you annoyed me," Lin Xuan said, flexing his wrist. He had learned some combat techniques in his spare time, and now was the perfect opportunity to use them.
"Lin Xuan, have you lost your mind? This is Qinghua University! If you get caught fighting, you'll be expelled!" Ye Li hissed through gritted teeth.
"Expelled? What do I care?" Su Hua was a board member of the university. He had a solid backer—what was there to fear?
*Thud—* Another punch landed on Ye Li's stomach.
Ye Li gritted his teeth, enduring the pain.
As he continued to hit Ye Li, Lin Xuan taunted, "Ye Li, no matter how outstanding or good-looking you are, Su Hua will never like you."
"Give up. She only likes me!"
"See, no matter how I treated her before, she never left me. Now that I'm willing to stay by her side, we'll never be apart."
"Ye Li, I'll always be above you. I took your place as the school heartthrob, I snatched the top rank from you, and I stole the woman you like. I'll date her, marry her, and have children with her."
Lin Xuan acted like a petty villain, deliberately provoking Ye Li so he would fight back.
Finally, Ye Li couldn't take it anymore and swung his fist at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan could have dodged, but he chose not to, letting Ye Li's punch land squarely on his face.
The punch was heavy, and it would definitely leave a mark.
Lin Xuan was satisfied. He hit Ye Li a few more times before stopping. He didn't want to let Ye Li off too easily, but he couldn't go overboard. If he went too far, he'd lose the moral high ground. After all, he was a law-abiding citizen!
Ye Li's handsome face was now swollen, with his lips split and his eyes nearly shut.
"Lin Xuan, just you wait!" Ye Li growled through gritted teeth. "I'll make sure you get expelled!"
"Go ahead. I'll be waiting," Lin Xuan said, one hand in his pocket, oozing arrogance.
