Eagerly Awaiting the Arrival of a Great-Grandchild

Night Garden.

Jiang Qing arrived holding a stack of documents.

"Butler Wang, where is Boss Su?" Jiang Qing asked.

Butler Wang wore a knowing smile. "The young lady and Young Master Lin are both in the bedroom."

They hadn’t come downstairs to the living room for four days.

Meals were brought to the kitchen by the servants, then carried to the bedroom by the young lady herself.

Jiang Qing had once been an innocent soul.

But after spending so much time around Lin Xuan and Su Hua, she instantly grasped the implication behind Butler Wang’s words.

Jiang Qing cleared her throat. "Since Boss Su is still occupied, I’ll wait here for a while."

The documents were important—she needed Boss Su to sign them today.

Butler Wang shook his head. "Secretary Jiang, you should go back for now."

"It’s fine, I have time. I’ll wait a little longer." Jiang Qing still hadn’t fully understood Butler Wang’s meaning.

Butler Wang had no choice but to spell it out. "Secretary Jiang, you won’t be seeing the young lady today. Maybe come back tomorrow—though tomorrow might not work either. Or the day after. Honestly, I can’t say when she’ll finally leave the room."

Jiang Qing: "!!!!"

"Butler Wang, are you saying Boss Su and Young Master Lin haven’t left the bedroom for days?" Her eyes sparkled with gossipy intrigue.

"Correct." Butler Wang nodded.

"Boss Su and Young Master Lin are… impressive." Jiang Qing couldn’t help but praise.

Everyone knew just how relentless Boss Su could be.

But she never expected Young Master Lin to have such stamina—to endure Boss Su’s… ahem… attentions for so many days.

"Is it true? Hua’er and Xuan’er have been in the bedroom all this time?"

Out of nowhere, Old Master Su appeared, his eyes gleaming.

Ever since learning that Su Hua and Lin Xuan were dating—and that Lin Xuan had a positive effect on Su Hua’s health—Old Master Su felt like he’d regained ten years of youth.

He used to worry endlessly.

Worried his granddaughter would spend her life like a walking corpse. Worried her condition would worsen beyond treatment.

And worried he’d never hold a great-grandchild in his arms.

But Lin Xuan’s arrival had solved all those problems.

"Reporting to the master, it’s true. The young lady and Young Master Lin haven’t been seen outside since returning four days ago," Butler Wang answered dutifully.

Old Master Su stroked his beard, grinning.

What else could a man and woman be doing alone in a bedroom for days?

They must be working on giving him a great-grandchild.

"Butler Wang, I’ll soon have a little one to hold!" Old Master Su was practically beaming.

"Yes, yes! And I’ll have a little young master or young mistress to care for," Butler Wang agreed cheerfully.

"Butler Wang, are you trying to steal my chance to raise the child?" Old Master Su glared.

Butler Wang didn’t deny it.

He really did want to help raise the little ones.

So he stayed silent.

Old Master Su huffed, thumping his cane on the ground. "Let me make this clear—if anyone dares take this from me, they’ll regret it!"

"Master," Butler Wang said patiently, "when the young lady has her child, won’t you be staying at Night Garden? We can raise the child together. And what if it’s twins? You’d be overwhelmed handling them alone."

"Ah, true, true." Old Master Su nodded, smiling again.

Jiang Qing watched the two old men excitedly discussing child-rearing and hesitated to speak.

If they knew Boss Su had taken contraceptive measures… would they collapse from shock?

The fertility-restoring serum was still stored in the lab, and Boss Su hadn’t even mentioned it.

Clearly, she wasn’t planning for children yet.

Well…

They were so engrossed in their baby talk. Better not ruin their mood.

And if Boss Su found out she was the one who spilled the secret—especially if it reached Young Master Lin’s ears—

Boss Su would skin her alive.

"Chairman, Butler Wang, I’ll return to the company to handle some work," Jiang Qing said.

"Go ahead, go ahead." Old Master Su waved her off, already diving back into his parenting plans with Butler Wang.

"Butler Wang, I’ve been reading so many childcare books lately. From the moment they’re born, you have to…"

Butler Wang listened intently, jotting down notes in a small notebook.

Meanwhile, back at the company, Jiang Qing overheard employees discussing Lin Xuan.

"Something’s fishy about this. How could the man our Boss Su chose be as awful as people online are saying?"

"Exactly! Even if Young Master Lin beat them up, they must’ve done something to deserve it."

Frowning, Jiang Qing approached. "What are you talking about? What happened to Young Master Lin?"

"Secretary Jiang, haven’t you seen?" A female employee handed over her phone. "Young Master Lin’s mother—well, his former mother—caused a scene at Tianmu Group’s entrance. She accused him of misconduct, saying he pushed his younger brother into water back when they lived together, trying to kill him.

"And after leaving the Lin family, he supposedly abused his birth father and brother."

The employee summarized the situation.

"She brought reporters, and now the whole internet’s gone wild."

"Secretary Jiang, look."

Jiang Qing scanned the articles, her frown deepening.

She turned on her heel and returned to her car.

Pulling out her phone, she ordered, "Investigate Young Master Lin’s past with the Lin family immediately."

After hanging up, she drove straight back to Night Garden.

Old Master Su had already left.

Butler Wang looked surprised. "Secretary Jiang, why are you back?"

"Butler Wang, I need to see Boss Su urgently."

Without waiting, Jiang Qing headed upstairs.

This concerned Young Master Lin—Boss Su had to know.

Knock, knock, knock.

She rapped on Su Hua’s door.

No answer.

Knock, knock, knock. She tried again, steeling herself.

Finally—

The door opened.
