Test If You Dare

Feng Weimin pondered.

Perhaps he could use this opportunity to sabotage Yaya and Lin Li's marriage.

Lin Li was utterly unsuitable for Yaya.

And then there was Lin Xuan—his instincts told him this man was no simple figure. Lin Xuan seemed to have marked the Lin family as his enemy.

Sooner or later, Lin Xuan would strike against the Lin family.

If Yaya and Lin Li were to marry, the Feng family might also become a target of Lin Xuan's retaliation.

That was the last thing he wanted to see.

"Lin Li, do you really think I'd take your word at face value?" Feng Weimin sneered coldly.

"Dad," Feng Yaya frowned. "Something as absurd as becoming a eunuch—how could that possibly happen to Li? Right now, we should stand by his side and believe him."

Feng Weimin was fuming. "Yaya, I’m only thinking of your happiness! A man without his manhood tends to grow twisted in character, even abusive toward his wife. You’re not even fully married to Lin Li yet, and you’re already taking his side like this?"

"I’m your father—do you really think I’d harm you?"

Feng Yaya found her father’s behavior utterly unreasonable.

And wasn’t he just sowing distrust in Li’s heart?

"Dad, if you keep acting like this, I won’t speak to you anymore," Feng Yaya retorted with a cold huff.

Lin Li smirked inwardly.

This Feng Yaya was so easily fooled, so utterly brainless.

Once they were married, he could keep his condition hidden from her forever.

Lin Xuan stood up from his seat, holding a glass of red wine.

"If you want to know whether Lin Li has really become a eunuch, it’s simple. Would you like to hear my suggestion?"

At his words, Lin Li snapped his gaze toward Lin Xuan.

He glared at him, fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white.

Lin Xuan—what the hell was he planning?

"What suggestion?" Feng Weimin pressed immediately.

"It’s straightforward—just check whether Lin Li still has the equipment. Wouldn’t that settle it?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.

Lin Chang erupted in anger. "A public inspection? Lin Xuan, where do you expect Li to hide his face after this?" He pointed accusingly at Lin Xuan. "Are you sure you’re not just using this to settle a personal grudge?"

"Chairman Lin," Lin Xuan countered coolly, "I never said it had to be public. A few trusted individuals could examine him privately in his room."

"Chairman Lin, this is the only way for Lin Li to prove himself."

Lin Chang frowned.

It was indeed a solution.

If this matter wasn’t resolved conclusively today, rumors would spread that Lin Li was indeed a eunuch, and the Lin family would become the laughingstock of high society.

"Chairman Lin, the Lin family’s resistance is quite telling. Could it be that Lin Li really is a eunuch, and you’re afraid of being exposed for fraudulently arranging this marriage?" Lin Xuan took a slow sip of his wine.

The onlookers, ever eager for drama, chimed in. "Exactly! If he’s innocent, he should just take the test."

"If he keeps refusing, we have every reason to suspect Lin Li is a eunuch and too scared to prove otherwise."

As Lin Xuan spoke, Feng Yaya couldn’t tear her eyes away from him.

Her heart raced uncontrollably.

She pressed a hand to her chest, confused.

She was supposed to love Li—so why was she reacting this way to Lin Xuan?

Su Hua, who had been watching Lin Xuan intently, noticed Feng Yaya’s gaze.

Her lips curled into a faint, guarded smile.

"Master Lin, it seems yet another woman has taken a liking to you."

And once again, it was one of Lin Li’s women.

First, it was Shen Qianqian, Lin Li’s ex-fiancée. Now, it was Feng Yaya, his current bride-to-be.

Hearing Su Hua’s words, Lin Xuan immediately recalled her earlier jealous remarks.

He glanced at Feng Yaya—sure enough, she was staring right at him.

Lin Xuan: "!!!"

Was fate conspiring against him?

"Master Lin, was I wrong?" Su Hua’s crimson lips curved teasingly.

"President Su, I’ve told you—I have a girlfriend," Lin Xuan insisted, his voice strained. "I love only her. Other women mean nothing to me, no matter how they feel."

"Oh?" Su Hua chuckled softly, withdrawing her gaze.

She suppressed the urge to lock Lin Xuan away somewhere dark.

Lin Xuan’s mind raced.

He needed to resolve this Feng Yaya problem—fast.

The memory of Su Hua confining him for days over Shen Qianqian was still fresh.

He had no desire to relive that experience.

Besides, he had to eliminate these unwanted affections to reassure Su Hua. He never wanted her to feel unsettled because of him.

"Chairman Lin, have you made a decision? Will you proceed with the inspection or not?" Lin Xuan pressed again.

"Why wouldn’t we?" Lin Chang scoffed.

"No! Dad, we can’t!" Lin Li’s protest was frantic.

The crowd stared at him in shock.

His reaction was far too extreme—was it possible that Lin Li really was a eunuch?

Lin Chang’s suspicious gaze settled on his son.

Lin Li quickly regained some composure.

"Dad," he forced a smile. "You know better than anyone whether I’ve lost my manhood. If I had, the doctors would’ve mentioned it last time."

Lin Chang nodded.

That was true.

The last time he and Lin Li had been hospitalized after Lin Xuan’s beating, the doctors would’ve certainly noted such a severe injury.

Jiang Shuqin crossed her arms and sneered. "Lin Xuan, stop twisting the narrative and misleading everyone."

How could her son be anything less than a man?

What a ridiculous notion!

"Madam Jiang, you amuse me," Lin Xuan shrugged. "I’m merely offering Lin Li a way to prove his innocence. How is that misleading?"

Jiang Shuqin was left speechless.

Lin Li couldn’t help but glance at Feng Yaya, silently pleading for her intervention.

He couldn’t let anyone discover the truth—his future depended on it.

To his dismay, Feng Yaya nodded. "Li, Lin Xuan is right. Let two people examine you privately. Once it’s done, no one will dare question you again."

This time, Lin Li had no choice but to comply.

Refusal would only fuel the rumors.

"Fine," Lin Li took a deep breath and agreed. "If you say so, Yaya. Let’s do it."

In a private room, it would be easy to fake the results.

All he needed was to bribe the two men.

With that thought, Lin Li finally relaxed.
