Lin Xuan stayed alone in the bathroom, taking a long cold shower before finally calming his fiery temper. He let out a sigh of relief, feeling much better at last.
By the time he stepped out of the bathroom, Su Hua was already fast asleep on the bed. Her long, slightly curled jet-black hair cascaded over the dark sheets, making her skin appear even more snow-white, like a piece of pristine mutton-fat jade.
Lin Xuan frowned as he looked at Su Hua lying there.
He had a feeling that Hua Bao had been holding back today, saving up for something big.
The thought sent a shiver down his spine. If that were really the case, his kidneys might just pack their bags and hop on a train out of town.
Lin Xuan was still preoccupied with the issue of the mini-program game.
He returned to the study.
Earlier, while on the phone with Lei Hui, he had accidentally let out some ambiguous sounds.
If he didn’t resolve the mini-program issue soon, Lei Hui might get the wrong idea. So, he had to fix it as quickly as possible.
This time, without Su Hua’s interruptions, Lin Xuan worked swiftly. In just ten minutes, his fingers stopped tapping on the keyboard.
He sent Lei Hui a message on WeChat:
[Lin Xuan]: I’ve fixed the bug in the mini-program game. Check if there are any other issues. If so, let me know.
[Lei Hui]: !!! That fast?!
Lin Xuan assumed Lei Hui was referring to the speed of fixing the game. He replied:
This is normal for me. No need to be so surprised.
Little did he know, Lei Hui was actually talking about his performance in bed with Su Hua.
Lei Hui stared at his phone, his brow furrowed.
At first, he thought their boss and Boss Su had been kissing or something. But now, only thirty minutes later, the boss had already contacted him. Factoring in the time it took to fix the game, that meant the boss had lasted no more than twenty minutes at most.
If the boss couldn’t satisfy Boss Su in bed, he’d likely be cast aside sooner or later.
Less than twenty minutes… The boss really wasn’t up to par.
This wouldn’t do.
He had to find a way to help the boss improve his stamina and performance.
A powerful backer like Boss Su was a rare opportunity. He couldn’t let the boss lose her just because he couldn’t keep up in bed.
Lei Hui immediately called his secretary.
"General Manager, it’s so late. What’s the matter?" the secretary asked respectfully.
Lei Hui: "Little Liu, you’ve had a lot of girlfriends. I wanted to ask—do you know any ways to improve a man’s performance in bed?"
"General Manager, you’ve come to the right person!" The secretary perked up at the question.
He was about to share his secret recipe when a thought struck him. He hesitated before asking, "General Manager, didn’t you say you were focusing on raising your daughter and didn’t plan to get involved with women again? Why are you asking this?"
Lei Hui frowned.
He couldn’t exactly say it was for the boss. If word got out that the boss was lacking in that department, he’d be in deep trouble.
So, he made up an excuse.
"I’m not looking for a stepmother for my daughter, but I still have… needs to take care of. I’m getting older, and work’s been exhausting. I just feel a bit… inadequate. Thought I’d try to boost myself a little."
Lei Hui wore an expression of humiliation.
For the boss, for the company’s future—he’d endure this!
"I see," the secretary nodded, not doubting his words. "Boss, hold on. I’ll send you the recipe for this tonic soup. Take it for a while, and I guarantee it’ll work."
"Good," Lei Hui agreed.
Ten minutes after hanging up, the secretary sent over a detailed recipe, complete with cooking times and heat control—everything clearly noted.
Lei Hui examined the recipe with satisfaction.
With this, the boss should last longer in bed, right?
If a certain unsatisfied person knew what Lei Hui was thinking, he’d snap:
Who the hell said I’m lacking?!
He was plenty strong—stronger than any other man in the world! It’s just that Hua Bao, the favored daughter of fate, was no ordinary woman.
Lei Hui considered forwarding the recipe to Lin Xuan directly but hesitated. If he sent it outright, the boss might feel embarrassed.
He’d have to find the right moment to bring it up.
With everything settled, Lin Xuan figured that since he’d fixed the mini-program issue so quickly, Lei Hui couldn’t possibly misunderstand now.
After all, if he’d really been busy with Hua Bao, how could he have had time to deal with the game?
Lin Xuan returned to bed.
The moment he lay down, the sleeping woman seemed to sense his presence. She rolled into his arms, clinging tightly to his waist, her face pressed against his chest.
Just the memory of how alluring Hua Bao had looked today made Lin Xuan’s body burn uncontrollably again.
This was torture.
Lin Xuan lay awake, forcing himself to endure until he finally fell asleep very late.
The next day, it was already 9 a.m., and Lin Xuan was still asleep.
Jiang Qing called Su Hua.
"Boss Su, there’s an urgent matter at the company. You need to come in right away," Jiang Qing said urgently.
Su Hua glanced at Lin Xuan, still asleep in bed. Thinking about how late he’d stayed up, she decided to let him rest.
He’d need his energy to have fun later.
"Alright, I’ll be there soon," she replied.
Half an hour later, Lin Xuan woke up.
He went downstairs and asked, "Butler Wang, where’s Hua Bao?"
Butler Wang answered respectfully, "Young Miss went to the company. She said you should eat breakfast and wait for her at home."
"Got it."
Lin Xuan nodded and sat down at the dining table to eat.
Just as he finished, Butler Wang came in again.
"Young Master Lin, Xu Xiaoman is here. Should I let her in?"
"Xu Xiaoman?"
Lin Xuan frowned.
The name sounded familiar.
Butler Wang reminded him, "She’s Young Miss’s half-sister. Last time, she was quite rude to you."
With that, Lin Xuan remembered.
So, it was her.
He smirked coldly.
"Let her in."
Truth be told, it had been a while since he’d taught anyone a lesson. His hands were itching for it.
If she dared provoke him, she’d only have herself to blame.
He wouldn’t go easy on her just because she was a woman.
"Understood."
Butler Wang smiled faintly.
He’d been worried that Young Master Lin might be at a disadvantage against the second young miss, so he’d specifically instructed the guards to hold her back until he could confirm whether to let her in.
Seems he’d overthought it. Young Master Lin wasn’t the type to take losses lightly.
The one who should be worried was the second young miss.
Butler Wang called the gatekeeper.
"Let the second young miss in."
I no longer have a grandfather. He’s gone to another world.
Thank you all for the gifts and your continuous support. I’ve prepared some drafts in advance, so updates will continue as usual.
Uu.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
