Little did anyone know, Lin Xuan wouldn’t be affected by him at all. Su Hua, with her obsessive and possessive nature, would only ever love one man in her lifetime, devoted to him until death. How could she ever abandon him?
“Oh, really?” Lin Xuan stretched lazily, a smirk playing on his lips. “What a pity. You’re not even fit to be her plaything.”
Seeing Ye Li’s visibly sour expression, Lin Xuan walked past him with a spring in his step, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Ever since Lin Xuan realized he had fallen for Su Hua, he couldn’t stand the sight of any man who dared to covet her. If it weren’t for the school rules, he would’ve gladly punched Ye Li again.
Ye Li’s face turned ashen.
But then, as if struck by a thought, he suddenly smiled.
No need to rush. Let Lin Xuan bask in his moment of triumph. Ye Li had already devised a plan to deal with him. After what was about to happen, Su Hua would surely abandon Lin Xuan.
Once she stopped liking Lin Xuan, she would finally notice him.
The next day, Lin Xuan attended only one class before returning to Night Garden. He headed straight to the kitchen to cook.
Butler Wang, seeing this, spoke up, “Young Master Lin, Miss won’t be back for lunch today. You don’t need to prepare anything.”
If Lin Xuan was at school, Su Hua usually wouldn’t return home for lunch, staying at the company instead. For her, if Lin Xuan wasn’t around, there wasn’t much difference between the company and Night Garden.
Lin Xuan replied, “I’ll bring lunch to her.”
“Very well, Young Master Lin. Thank you for your hard work,” Butler Wang nodded with a smile.
Lin Xuan prepared Su Hua’s favorite dishes and carried the lunchbox to Su Corporation.
“Sir, may I ask who you are?” the receptionist asked, frowning slightly.
Lin Xuan replied, “I’m here to see your CEO, Su Hua.”
The receptionist glanced at the lunchbox in his hand and then back at him, her expression turning slightly strange.
Was this man another one trying to charm Su Hua? He was certainly more handsome than the others, but Su Hua wasn’t one to be swayed by looks.
Besides, she had heard that Su Hua already had a boyfriend, and she doted on him quite a bit.
“Do you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked politely, maintaining her professionalism.
Lin Xuan frowned. “Wait a moment.”
Not wanting to disturb Su Hua’s work, Lin Xuan didn’t contact her directly. Instead, he called Jiang Qing.
“Young Master Lin,” Jiang Qing’s voice came through the phone.
“Secretary Jiang, I’m at Su Corporation, downstairs.”
“I’ll be right down to get you.”
Lin Xuan waited near the reception desk for Jiang Qing.
The receptionist, being a bit of a fan of good looks, couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, do you like CEO Su?”
“Yes,” Lin Xuan didn’t deny it, his lips curving into a slight smile. “I do like her.”
“Sir, let me give you some friendly advice. CEO Su already has someone she likes. If you insist on getting close to her, you might end up being thrown out of Su Corporation, and it could even make the news, leading to public ridicule.”
“So, I suggest you don’t risk being thrown out just to get close to CEO Su.”
There were always paparazzi lurking around Su Corporation and events Su Hua attended, just waiting to capture someone being tossed out. It was a source of entertainment for netizens, and such incidents always garnered a lot of attention.
“Don’t worry, I won’t be thrown out,” Lin Xuan said with a confident smile.
The receptionist shook her head.
He was clearly not getting the hint. Oh well, he’d learn the consequences of trying to charm Su Hua soon enough.
What a pity, though. He was such a handsome man.
Jiang Qing arrived via the elevator.
“Secretary Jiang,” the receptionist greeted respectfully.
“Hmm,” Jiang Qing nodded, then turned to Lin Xuan and said respectfully, “Young Master Lin, please follow me.”
The receptionist: ???
Though Jiang Qing was just a secretary, her status within the company was second only to Su Hua. This was the first time the receptionist had seen Jiang Qing show such respect to someone other than Su Hua.
Who was this man?
Could it be…
The receptionist’s eyes lit up, sparkling with the thrill of gossip.
As Lin Xuan followed Jiang Qing upstairs, she quickly took out her phone, snapped a photo of his back, and posted it in the company chat group.
[Guess what I just saw! CEO Su’s boyfriend came to the company today! I’m 80% sure it’s him! Secretary Jiang personally came down to get him!]
[OMG, he’s so handsome! He and CEO Su look so good together!]
[And he seems so gentle and gentlemanly! No wonder he managed to win CEO Su’s heart.]
[Guys, he’s seriously so good-looking! Like, way more handsome than those so-called heartthrobs in the entertainment industry!]
Other employees frowned as they read the messages.
Was he really that good-looking? Probably exaggerated.
Jiang Qing escorted Lin Xuan to Su Hua’s office.
“Young Master Lin, CEO Su is in a meeting right now. Please wait here. I’ll inform her that you’ve arrived,” Jiang Qing said, eager to share the news with Su Hua. She knew Su Hua would be thrilled to hear that Lin Xuan had come to see her.
“No need. I’ll wait here. I want to surprise her. Secretary Jiang, you can go back to your work,” Lin Xuan said.
“Understood, Young Master Lin.”
After pouring Lin Xuan a cup of coffee, Jiang Qing left the office.
Lin Xuan wandered around the office, eventually finding his way to Su Hua’s private lounge.
The lounge was spacious, equipped with a bed, a bathroom, and a wardrobe—everything one could need. It was clear that Su Hua treated her office as a second home.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Qing knocked on the door to inform Lin Xuan.
“Young Master Lin, CEO Su should be done with her meeting in about five minutes. Didn’t you say you wanted to surprise her? You might want to prepare something.”
“Got it,” Lin Xuan nodded.
He wasn’t very experienced in romantic gestures, so he pulled out his phone and started searching for ideas. After a while, he gave up and posted a question in a relationship advice forum.
[It’s my first time visiting my girlfriend at her company. She’s about to finish a meeting soon. How can I surprise her? Urgent, please help!]
Soon, several experienced and kind-hearted users chimed in with suggestions.
[It depends on how strong your relationship is. If it’s solid, just give her yourself as the surprise. If not, maybe go for something more material, like an expensive gift.]
[I’ve read about this in novels! You can pin her against the wall as soon as she walks in—do a wall slam!]
[Yes, that’s perfect! And after the wall slam, the mood will be just right for a passionate kiss!]
[After the kiss, well… let’s keep it PG.]
A wall slam?
That did sound like a good idea. The last time he pinned Su Hua against the wall, she had been quite excited.
Lin Xuan thanked the user who suggested the wall slam and began preparing by leaning against the door.
“CEO Su, regarding this project…” A group of executives followed Su Hua, reporting on various matters.
Su Hua nodded occasionally, her expression serious.
The sound of her heels clicking against the floor grew closer.
Finally, the door handle turned.
She’s here.
Lin Xuan focused intently. As soon as Su Hua stepped inside, he grabbed her slender wrist and forcefully pushed her against the wall.
One hand firmly gripped her slender waist, while the other pressed against the wall, caging her in.
