"Thump, thump, thump."
Even Su Hua, who could remain calm in the face of death, felt her heart racing at this moment.
This was the first time Lin Xuan had ever acted this way toward her.
"What's wrong?" Su Hua asked, feeling slightly uneasy.
Lin Xuan replied, "I was thinking... of seducing you, little Su Hua."
Su Hua's expression froze for a moment.
"Thud!" A glass of water held by a senior executive in the online meeting fell to the floor.
Su Hua frowned and slammed her laptop shut with a loud "snap."
The screens of the executives' computers went black.
"Holy crap! Was that a man? Did I see that right?" one of the executives in the meeting room exclaimed in shock.
Another executive, still in a daze, said, "You probably didn't see wrong. I also saw a man pounce on Su Hua."
"So, does Su Hua have a boyfriend now?"
The executives were lost in a dreamlike state.
"I think I heard the man say he was going to seduce Su Hua. Holy crap, is this what I think it is?"
"It must be. Look at how quickly Su Hua closed her laptop. They must be about to... ahem, something not suitable for kids."
Everyone has a love for gossip, and these executives were no exception, especially when the subject was their usually reserved and composed Su Hua.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan also realized that Su Hua had been about to start a video conference.
So, the moment he pounced on her had been seen by many...
Lin Xuan's initial boldness instantly deflated, and his face stiffened.
He had actually dared to pounce on Su Hua, the queen of obsession. His guts were truly something else.
"Su Hua, um, let me sit up first, and then we can talk," Lin Xuan said, his hands leaving the armrests of the chair as he tried to straighten up.
But Su Hua's soft, delicate arms wrapped around his neck, not letting him escape.
Her breath brushed against his lips, warm and teasing. "Lin Xuan, weren't you going to seduce me? You can't give up halfway."
Su Hua had never planned to agree to Lin Xuan's investment proposal through proper channels.
She had been waiting for this moment all along, so how could she let him back out so easily?
Now it was Lin Xuan's turn to feel stuck.
Seduce her? How exactly was he supposed to do that?
Lin Xuan tentatively kissed Su Hua's lips. He had to admit, Su Hua was incredibly sweet, with an intoxicating aura about her.
When the kiss ended, Su Hua rested her forehead against his, her eyes curving into a smile.
"Lin Xuan, I'm very satisfied with your performance."
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up. If she was satisfied, then maybe the investment...
"But if Lin Xuan wants to secure the investment, this isn't enough," Su Hua said, her crimson lips curling into a sly smile.
She opened a drawer in her desk and pulled out a thin booklet.
"What's this?" Lin Xuan asked, already feeling like it wasn't anything good.
Su Hua's slender, pale fingers trailed over Lin Xuan's body through his clothes, her touch teasing and suggestive. "Open it and see for yourself, Lin Xuan."
When Lin Xuan opened it, he was dumbfounded.
Holy crap! It was filled with all kinds of... "ahem," very detailed and comprehensive content about intimate activities between men and women.
"Lin Xuan, how about we try out what's in this book today?" Su Hua didn't give him a chance to refuse. She led him to a large floor-to-ceiling window, slowly drawing him into a state of indulgence and abandon...
Early the next morning, Lin Xuan came downstairs with dark circles under his eyes.
"Young Master Lin," Butler Wang greeted respectfully.
"Butler Wang," Lin Xuan said in a low voice, "do you still have that tonic soup you made before?"
"Young Master Lin, I've already prepared it for you. You can have it after breakfast," Butler Wang replied with an understanding look. As a top-tier butler, he knew how to solve his master's problems promptly.
Lin Xuan walked into the dining room.
Su Hua was already seated at the table, elegantly enjoying her meal.
Lin Xuan looked at the woman who was full of energy and satisfaction, his gaze filled with resentment.
Su Hua, this obsessive queen, was not only exceptional in her work but, damn it, even her stamina was unnaturally impressive.
Although he had held out until the end, the difference in their current states was like night and day.
He was the man, the man! And Su Hua was the woman!
This was completely upside down.
Su Hua glanced at him and said, "Come have breakfast."
Lin Xuan walked over and sat down in his usual spot next to Su Hua, ready to feed her as he always did.
But this time, Su Hua refused.
"Lin Xuan, you must be tired from last night. Take it easy today," Su Hua said, her voice laced with a faint smile.
Lin Xuan: "..."
"Alright," Lin Xuan muttered as he bit into a piece of bread, feeling utterly defeated.
"Good boy," Su Hua said, her fingers gently smoothing out the frown on Lin Xuan's forehead. "I'll go easier on you next time."
Lin Xuan: "..." He felt even more frustrated.
After breakfast, Su Hua leaned back in her chair, smiling as she watched Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan sat beside her, stabbing his fork into a piece of bread with unnecessary force.
He needed to go to the gym! Train! Build up his stamina!
A young maid nearby watched the scene with excitement. Ahhh, this was just too adorable!
It was like watching a domineering female CEO and her delicate husband.
Su Hua's lips curled into a smile. "Lin Xuan, your seduction last night was a success."
Lin Xuan's eyes brightened. So, the investment was secured? It was worth all the effort he put in last night, even though he had enjoyed it too...
Su Hua: "But I won't be investing in the studio you mentioned."
Lin Xuan: "..."
So, he had lost both his dignity and the investment?
What a terrible deal!
Su Hua handed Lin Xuan a black card. "I've unfrozen this card. The password is your birthday. You can spend up to ten billion. I'm not investing because my money is your money." So, what was the point of talking about investments?
Ten billion?
Lin Xuan was stunned by the amount.
"If it's not enough, just ask me for more," Su Hua said.
"It's more than enough," Lin Xuan replied, his frustration completely gone. Last night had been worth it after all!
He hadn't expected Su Hua, who had previously frozen the card, to hand it over so readily.
"Su Hua, aren't you afraid I'll use your money to buy things for Qin Ruoyao again?" The moment the words left his mouth, Lin Xuan regretted it. He had just shot himself in the foot.
Su Hua: "Because you told me to trust you." She had chosen to believe him one more time.
"Lin Xuan, so don't do anything to make me angry, okay?" Su Hua's voice was gentle, but Lin Xuan could sense the coldness beneath it.
"Don't worry, I won't," Lin Xuan assured her.
"Good boy," Su Hua said, her eyes curving into a smile.
"By the way, Su Hua," Lin Xuan suddenly thought of something and said, "In novels, the obsessive female lead often puts a tracker on the male lead. You could learn from that. Do you want to put a tracker on me?"
This way, Su Hua could feel more at ease.
Su Hua: "I already did. Over four years ago."
Lin Xuan: "!!!!!" She had already done it?
Damn it, he should have known. Su Hua was an obsessive queen, and she had all the skills that came with it!
"Su Hua, are you sure you have the timeline right? We've only known each other for three years," Lin Xuan asked, confused.

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
