Young Master Lin Has Gone to Sleep

"Don’t worry, even if such a day comes, they would never separate," Manager Liu said, stroking his chin.

"Why do you say that?" the executive asked curiously.

Manager Liu replied, "In novels, domineering female CEOs like Boss Su usually have a slightly yandere side. Their defining trait is that they absolutely won’t allow the man they love to escape from their side."

"So, if Young Master Lin and Boss Su were to break up, he might end up locked in a dark room by her. As long as Boss Su doesn’t grow tired of him, Young Master Lin would never be able to escape her grasp."

"Of course, Boss Su will never tire of Young Master Lin, so the two of them will remain bound together forever."

The executive nodded. "That actually makes a lot of sense."

After hearing Manager Liu’s analysis, the executive’s worries were completely put to rest.

As they prepared to leave, Huo Shen walked toward them.

Huo Shen had been managing Su Corporation’s overseas operations for years. He had worked for the Su family early on and was highly trusted by Old Master Su.

The executives of Su Corporation didn’t dare look down on him.

"President Huo," the two executives greeted politely.

"Managers, were you just reporting to Boss Su?" Huo Shen asked.

"Yes," they nodded.

"I overheard you discussing Boss Su’s personal matters," Huo Shen said with a cold smile. "Since when is it appropriate for subordinates to gossip about their superior’s private affairs?"

Manager Liu chuckled. "President Huo, you’ve been abroad for a while, so you might not be aware. While we wouldn’t dare discuss other aspects of Boss Su’s personal life, she permits us to talk about Young Master Lin."

"The employee group chats often mention Boss Su and Young Master Lin. If she disapproved, she would have ordered us to stop long ago."

"Besides, we’ve even brought it up in front of Boss Su, and she never punished or even scolded us for it."

Judging by Boss Su’s attitude, she not only didn’t mind them pairing her with Young Master Lin but actually seemed pleased when they called them a good match.

Once, she even gave them double their monthly bonus.

So, they felt free to openly discuss Boss Su and Young Master Lin’s relationship in the company.

"Hmph—"

Huo Shen sneered. "Boss Su doesn’t punish you because she’s magnanimous. Shouldn’t you, as subordinates, exercise some self-restraint?"

The two executives reluctantly nodded. "Understood, President Huo."

Of course, they were just humoring him—they had no intention of changing their behavior.

They walked past Huo Shen and entered the lounge.

"What’s up with President Huo? Why is he acting so strangely?" one executive muttered, his face full of confusion.

Huo Shen’s expression had been so dark it looked like someone owed him eight million.

"Huo Shen has lived with the Su family since he was a child. My guess is he has feelings for Boss Su. Now that she has a boyfriend, he’s obviously unhappy about it," Manager Liu speculated.

The executive nodded.

If Manager Liu’s theory was correct, everything made sense.

"Huo Shen is impressive, sure, but his success is built on the Su family’s backing. How can he compare to Young Master Lin, who built such a large company from scratch in just over a year?"

The executive was practically a fan of Lin Xuan by now, his face full of admiration whenever he mentioned him.

"I still think Young Master Lin is a better match for Boss Su," the executive said.

Manager Liu agreed. "Same here. There’s something off about Huo Shen’s intentions. Thankfully, Boss Su doesn’t see him that way."

Lin Xuan treated them with ease, unlike Huo Shen, who acted superior despite holding a similar position.

If Huo Shen ever married their boss, who knew how arrogant he’d become?

Meanwhile, outside the CEO’s office—

Huo Shen straightened his clothes and knocked before entering.

Su Hua was still focused on the documents in her hands, her presence filling Huo Shen’s gaze.

Ever since Su Hua was found and brought back to the Su family, he had known she was exceptional.

With her looks, figure, and family background, Su Hua was the only woman in the world worthy of him.

Had she not gone missing, they would have already been betrothed as children.

When she was ready to marry, he should have been her first choice.

But then Lin Xuan appeared out of nowhere.

No matter. Sooner or later, he would drive Lin Xuan away from Hua’er’s side.

Hua’er could only be his.

"State your business," Su Hua said coldly without looking up.

Huo Shen placed a file in front of her. "Hua’er, this is the overseas operations report. I wanted to deliver it to you days ago, but you weren’t here. When I heard you’d returned, I brought it immediately."

Su Hua frowned.

Huo Shen?

"When I’m not in the office, non-urgent documents should be given to Jiang Qing. There’s no need to wait for me personally," Su Hua said, her tone icy.

"Let me remind you—I am the CEO of Su Corporation, and you are merely an employee. You should address me as Boss Su, not Hua’er."

"Our relationship is not that close."

Huo Shen’s expression stiffened.

Su Hua was clearly drawing a line between them.

He had assumed she only acted this way in public, but even in private, she maintained the same distance.

No matter. Soon, their relationship wouldn’t be so strained.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Shen forced himself to speak again. "Boss Su, please review the documents."

Su Hua picked up the file and began reading.

Halfway through, Jiang Qing entered.

"Boss Su, your coffee," Jiang Qing said, placing the cup on the desk.

Su Hua glanced at the wall clock. "Is A-Xuan still at school?"

Jiang Qing immediately checked Lin Xuan’s class schedule on her phone.

"Young Master Lin has classes all morning, so he should still be on campus."

"However, he has the privilege of skipping classes at any time. He might have left early. Should I call and confirm, Boss Su?"

"Mm." Su Hua nodded.

Jiang Qing dialed the university president directly.

"Secretary Jiang, how may I assist you?" the president asked respectfully.

"Is Young Master Lin still attending classes?" Jiang Qing inquired.

The president replied, "Student Lin Xuan said he was tired and has returned to his dorm to rest."

"Understood."

Jiang Qing promptly relayed the information. "Boss Su, the president said Young Master Lin is resting in his dorm."

She couldn’t help but glance at Boss Su.

Just how intense were their bedroom activities that Young Master Lin had to hide from Boss Su by sleeping at school?
