Lin Xuan rubbed his nose.
Who was cursing him?
Lin Xuan thought about what he had recently done to the Starlight Group.
Seemed like the Lin Family was the one badmouthing him.
Let them curse. The more they cursed, the more it showed their hatred—and the more satisfying it was for him.
"Ah-Xuan, do you have a cold?" Su Hua, nestled in his arms, looked up at him with concern.
"It's nothing," Lin Xuan replied casually with a smile. "Just someone cursing me, that's all."
"Who cursed you?" Su Hua narrowed her eyes dangerously.
"The Lin Family," Lin Xuan said dismissively. "I just messed with their company, so it’s normal for them to lash out."
"Hua Bao, don’t worry. A mere Lin Family is nothing I can’t handle."
To him now, dealing with the Lin Family was as easy as an elephant crushing an ant.
Su Hua watched Lin Xuan’s confident demeanor, a faint smile rising in her eyes.
Her Ah-Xuan was truly impressive.
In just over a year, he had rendered the Lin Family powerless to fight back.
"Ah-Xuan… do you really feel no attachment to the Lin Family at all?" Su Hua frowned.
In the past, Ah-Xuan had cared deeply about them—so much that she had been fiercely jealous.
She had even wanted to take action against the Lin Family, to make them disappear from his life.
But if he had found out, she would have lost any chance of being with him.
She didn’t dare take that risk.
So she had no choice but to let them occupy an important place in his heart.
But ever since his wedding with Qin Ruoyao, Ah-Xuan had changed.
He became kinder to her, indifferent to Qin Ruoyao, and uncaring toward the Lin Family.
These were the people who had once mattered most to him.
Even now, she wasn’t entirely sure if he truly felt nothing for them.
Was he destroying the Lin Family just to force them to beg for his mercy?
To make them realize his importance and treat him well?
"Hah—" Lin Xuan’s expression turned icy at her words. "Why would I feel any attachment to them?"
"From the moment I returned to the Lin Family, I never felt an ounce of warmth from them. No matter how much I tried to please them, they never cared. All they gave me was cold indifference, beatings, and curses."
They didn’t like him, but for the sake of their reputation, they couldn’t send him back to the orphanage.
Hah.
A family like that? He wanted no part of it.
In his past life, the Lin Family had known about Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao’s affair all along.
But to protect Lin Li, they turned a blind eye.
Even though he was their real son. Their real brother.
Now, thinking of the Lin Family brought him no pain—only mockery.
Su Hua held Lin Xuan’s hand tightly.
Seeing the look on his face, she frowned.
She shouldn’t have brought this up.
Wanting to distract him—and craving intimacy—she straddled his lap.
"Ah-Xuan," she murmured, a hint of jealousy in her voice. "Let’s not talk about these unimportant outsiders. We should focus on… things more suited for us."
The servants, hearing her words, turned away in perfect unison and left.
They knew better than to interrupt their young miss and Master Lin’s private moments.
"Hua Bao, there are still people around. We should behave," Lin Xuan said, swallowing hard.
After what happened in the office yesterday, doing it again now? His body couldn’t take it!
Well, more accurately—his kidneys couldn’t.
"Are there outsiders here?" Su Hua arched a delicate brow.
"Of course! There are servants everywhere," Lin Xuan insisted.
"Are there?" Her eyes sparkled with amusement.
Lin Xuan turned his head—only to find the living room completely empty.
Just the two of them.
He blinked in confusion.
Where did everyone go?
Weren’t there three or four servants here just a second ago?
"Now that there’s no one… shouldn’t we get to it?" Su Hua traced her red lips along his, whispering, "Ah-Xuan… it’s been so long since we’ve done it in the living room."
Before he could respond, she captured his lips in a kiss.
Lin Xuan: "..."
What do you do when your girlfriend is insatiable?
Asking for a friend. Urgently.
Soon, Su Hua’s skilled teasing left him unable to think of anything else.
Their breaths grew heavier, their bodies hotter.
Su Hua’s slender fingers reached for the buttons of his shirt, undoing only the top three.
Her hand slipped inside, tracing the lines of his chest.
Just as she was about to take things further, she suddenly stopped—pulling away from his lips and body.
Lin Xuan gave her a puzzled look.
Why did Hua Bao stop?
"Ah-Xuan worked hard yesterday. You should rest first," she said with a smirk.
Lin Xuan shot her a resentful glare.
She got him all worked up and then just left him hanging? She was definitely doing this on purpose.
Su Hua turned her attention to the TV, watching a drama with apparent interest.
Seeing that she really had no intention of helping him, Lin Xuan sighed.
Fine. He’d just have to endure it.
After a while, Su Hua glanced at him curiously.
"Ah-Xuan, aren’t you going to… take care of that?"
Lin Xuan shrugged. "It’s fine. It’ll pass."
Su Hua frowned.
What if holding it in harmed him?
"Then… let me help you." She leaned close, her breath warm against his ear.
Lin Xuan stared at her pale, delicate hand.
His mind raced.
How exactly was Hua Bao planning to help?
Could it be…?
He quickly averted his gaze.
Little did he know—Su Hua had something else in mind.
A different method entirely…
Outside, the servants chatted excitedly.
"What do you think Miss and Master Lin are doing right now?"
"Isn’t it obvious? Definitely… that," a round-faced maid said suggestively.
Another sighed wistfully. "It’s been almost two years since Master Lin and Miss Su got together, and they’re still so in love. They’ve never even fought—no ‘cooling-off period’ like people say. If anything, they’ve gotten even more attached."
"Right? It’s unbelievable."
"Their relationship is so perfect. I wish I could find a boyfriend who treats me half as well."
The servants all wore dreamy expressions.
Being around Lin Xuan and Su Hua’s constant affection had given them high expectations for love.
While the two indulged in their passion at the Night Garden, the Lin Family’s villa was shrouded in gloom.
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
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)
