The atmosphere was way too off.
If things continued like this, his kidneys would definitely flee again by driving off on their own.
After transforming into "Lin Dry" (exhausted state), he had just recovered from sleeping over a dozen hours—he really didn’t want to turn back into "Lin Dry" so soon!
Damn it!
As a grown man, he sometimes despised himself for being so hesitant in situations like this.
But if he forced himself to tough it out, his kidneys genuinely couldn’t take it.
"What’s wrong? Does A-Xuan dislike me? Are you refusing to take a bath with me?"
Su Hua’s fingers traced teasingly over Lin Xuan’s chest through his damp clothes.
Lin Xuan: "..."
Here we go again!
How was he supposed to answer that?
Say he disliked it? If he dared, it would mean he was asking to be locked in a dark room.
Say he didn’t dislike it?
Then he’d have no way to refuse bathing with Hua Bao.
"A-Xuan, let’s bathe together, okay?" Su Hua’s red lips brushed against Lin Xuan’s earlobe as she whispered seductively in the steamy air.
Without waiting for his answer, she began unbuttoning his shirt.
"Hua Bao, wait—" Lin Xuan caught her hand. "I don’t dislike you, I just have something urgent to take care of."
"Oh? And what might that be?"
Su Hua’s slender, jade-like fingers continued undoing his buttons one by one.
Lin Xuan scrambled for an excuse. "Recently, Starlight Group copied my company’s game exactly and launched it. I planted a virus in their system—I need to activate it so their entire game crashes."
Originally, he planned to trigger it once they started monetizing skins and heroes.
But doing it a little earlier wouldn’t hurt.
"That can wait." Su Hua smirked. "If you want their game to crash, I can have Su Corporation’s team handle it."
Lin Xuan choked.
How could he forget? Su Corporation employed a whole team of international computer experts. Working together, they could easily sabotage Starlight Group’s game without leaving a trace.
Lin Xuan gave up resisting. "Actually… it’s not that urgent. Hua Bao, I can deal with it later."
Su Hua’s lips curled.
"In that case…" She pressed her lips to his. "We can ‘bathe’ together now."
Before long, the sound of running water filled the bathroom—along with far more intimate noises.
From the bathroom to the bedroom, then the study, they indulged in each other endlessly.
By 2 a.m. the next day, the air still carried a sweet, lingering warmth.
Lin Xuan lay with Su Hua draped over him, stroking her back with a look of utter resignation.
Did Hua Bao learn all these seductive tricks from those books?
What exactly were those books teaching her?
Her techniques were so potent that even a celibate monk wouldn’t stand a chance.
"A-Xuan, how was it?" Su Hua’s face was still flushed, her eyes rimmed red and glistening as if she’d been crying.
Fresh from their passion, she looked like a soul-stealing enchantress—utterly mesmerizing.
"It was… fine." Lin Xuan couldn’t bring himself to lie.
Su Hua smiled.
Those books really taught her well. Since A-Xuan liked it, she’d have to study more.
She wanted to consume him so completely that he’d have no energy left for other women… or even their unborn child.
Unborn child: ???
Mom, how dare you put me in the same category as those women trying to seduce Dad! I’m your child, not your love rival!
By morning, Lin Xuan was the first to rise again, leaving Su Hua asleep in bed.
With classes scheduled today, he used it as an excuse to escape her clutches.
This was the last semester of his senior year—after this, Lin Xuan would graduate.
By now, he had already become a legend at Shangqing University.
When Lin Xuan pulled up in his iconic Koenigsegg, students couldn’t help but stare.
"Is that a Koenigsegg?" they whispered.
"Yep, a Koenigsegg One:1. Worth over 10 million, and you can’t even buy one just by having the money."
"Tch, what a waste. Just brand hype. Spending that much on a car? Only fools with too much cash would do that," one newcomer sneered, jealousy dripping from his voice.
"You must be a transfer student. Don’t you know? This was a gift from CEO Su to Lin Xuan. And CEO Su—who do you think she is? The head of the world’s top corporation. For her, 10 million is like pocket change to regular folks."
The speaker couldn’t hide his envy.
What kind of magic did Lin Xuan use to make CEO Su adore him so much?
Back then, everyone was certain Su Hua was just toying with him. Yet here they were, over a year later, still going strong.
And Lin Xuan had only grown more deserving of her.
A computer genius, he’d founded his own company, with its literature and entertainment divisions now leading the industry.
Especially "Tiger Voice"—the top short-video platform in the country, integrating shopping, live streams, and ads.
The revenue from these ventures had Tianmu Group rolling in profits.
And Lin Xuan was only 22!
"Wait, CEO Su? As in… Su Corporation? The global giant?" The transfer student’s eyes bulged.
Even he had heard of the infamous CEO Su—a stunning but ruthless young woman known for her zero tolerance for distractions, especially men.
Rumors claimed she cared only for business, never romance.
Yet she had a boyfriend?!
"Just who is this guy to win over the CEO of Su Corporation?" the transfer student muttered in disbelief.
The other student grinned mysteriously. "Stick around. You’ll see."
Meanwhile, female students erupted into screams at the sight of Lin Xuan’s car.
"Ahhh! It’s Lin Xuan! My crush! He’s here! AHHH!"
"What lucky day is this? Lin Xuan actually came to campus, and I got to see him! I’m buying a lottery ticket after class—today’s my day!"
Every girl froze in place, eyes locked on the Koenigsegg.
Lin Xuan braked and stepped out.
"AHHH—!"
Another wave of shrieks tore through the crowd.
"Has anyone else noticed? Lin Xuan got even hotter since the last time we saw him!"
"Right?! So handsome it makes my heart race! I need to take every chance to see him now. Once he graduates, we might never get to see him again!"
The girls swooned unabashedly.
Humans are visual creatures, and Lin Xuan outshone even male celebrities. Combined with his brilliance, he’d effortlessly become the campus heartthrob.
Many girls secretly idolized him or treated him as their dream crush.
"What’s going on? Why are these girls so worked up?" A bespectacled professor frowned in confusion.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
