The true misery of the Lin family began when their pockets ran empty.
Accustomed to a life of luxury, the sudden plunge into poverty felt like a living death to them.
Just then, a sleek black luxury car pulled up, understated yet exuding opulence.
Butler Wang smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, the young miss is here. Let's go."
The young miss…
Lin Li's heart lurched.
Could it be Su Hua coming to pick up Lin Xuan?
No.
He couldn’t let the Lin family see that Su Hua was Lin Xuan’s woman.
"Mom, it’s getting late. Let’s head back," Lin Li urged. "There’s something I need to talk to you about."
"Fine, let’s go."
Jiang Shuqin shot Lin Xuan a glare before climbing into the Lin family car with Lin Li.
Lin Li exhaled in relief.
Thankfully, Jiang Shuqin hadn’t spotted Su Hua.
Once inside the car, Jiang Shuqin remained silent.
Her mind was consumed by the image of Lin Li sneaking off to reconcile with the Jiang family behind her back.
How could he do this? He knew full well about her feud with the Jiangs. Why would he seek them out?
Was it for their wealth and status?
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan stared at the unfamiliar car before him.
Su Hua must have been waiting outside the hotel for him, but this wasn’t the same car she’d used to drop him off earlier.
Then again, maybe she’d made a quick detour back to Night Garden.
As soon as Lin Xuan pulled the car door open, the woman inside seized his wrist and yanked him onto her lap.
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
Since when had Su Hua become so bold the moment he stepped out?
The door slammed shut with a thud.
"Young Miss, shall we return to Night Garden now?" the driver asked respectfully.
Su Hua’s captivating eyes locked onto Lin Xuan, a smirk curling her lips. "No rush. Keep the car parked here for now."
Lin Xuan’s instincts flared.
Something was off. Very off.
He had a gut feeling Su Hua was plotting something—why else would she insist on staying parked here?
Unless…
Before he could finish the thought, Su Hua flipped their positions, pinning him against the backseat.
"Quick, put up the partition!" Butler Wang barked.
"Right away."
The driver swiftly raised the divider, sealing off the rear seats from the front.
With the scene now hidden, both the driver and Butler Wang sighed in unison.
"Butler Wang, Young Master Lin and the young miss are truly devoted to each other," the driver remarked wistfully.
"Aren’t they just?" Butler Wang chuckled, nodding.
He’d once worried Lin Xuan might buckle under Su Hua’s intensity and leave her. To prevent that, he’d even brewed tonic soups daily, hoping to bolster the young master’s stamina.
But now it was clear—Lin Xuan and Su Hua were cut from the same cloth.
Their love was mutual.
Leaving each other? Unthinkable.
Butler Wang smiled to himself.
Soon enough, he’d be tending to a little young master or young miss.
Perfect.
"Butler Wang, something tells me we won’t be driving off anytime soon. Should we… discreetly step out?" the driver whispered.
"Agreed."
Butler Wang nodded.
With Su Hua dragging Lin Xuan into the car, the next steps were predictable.
He had no intention of sticking around to witness their passionate display.
The two slipped out, carefully shutting the door behind them, and leaned against a nearby vehicle.
There were quite a few people passing by, and they stood guard to prevent anyone from disturbing the two of them.
In the back seat of the car, an ambiguous atmosphere lingered.
Su Hua’s slender, jade-like fingers trailed across Lin Xuan’s chest, her fingertips burning against his skin, sending ripples of sensation through his heart.
“Hua Bao.”
Lin Xuan held Su Hua’s slender waist. “It’s getting late, and I don’t have anything else to do. Should we head back?”
Su Hua curled her crimson lips. “No need to rush. There’s something else I want to do here with you, Ah Xuan.”
Something else…
Lin Xuan couldn’t help but wonder—
Was Hua Bao suggesting they do it in the car?
But there were so many people coming and going. Even if the car had tinted windows that blocked outsiders from seeing inside…
The car would still shake!
This would be social suicide.
“Hua Bao, be good.” Lin Xuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “Let’s talk about this at home. It’s more… convenient there.”
“At Night Garden, it’s just the two of us. Whatever we want to do, we can do freely.”
Right now, Lin Xuan’s only thought was to leave with Su Hua.
He didn’t want to stay here.
If they stayed, what would happen next was all too predictable.
“Staying at home all the time is so boring. Why not change things up?”
Su Hua’s red lips brushed against Lin Xuan’s ear. “Ah Xuan, don’t you think so?”
She drew out her words, her voice dripping with suggestion.
“But Hua Bao, there are too many people here.” Lin Xuan was still resisting.
“That’s what makes it better.” Su Hua smirked. “More thrilling, isn’t it?”
Her delicate hand had already slipped beneath Lin Xuan’s shirt, tracing slow, teasing circles over his abs.
Lin Xuan’s body tensed.
Seeing his nervous expression, Su Hua’s lips curled into a smile.
Originally, she had planned to tell him—
This car was specially soundproofed and stabilized. No matter how much movement happened inside, no one outside would notice.
But now, she decided against it.
Letting her Ah Xuan squirm a little only added to the excitement, didn’t it?
“Ah Xuan, relax.” Su Hua’s soft lips grazed the corner of his mouth. “No one out there knows who we are.”
Lin Xuan’s body remained rigid, not easing in the slightest.
How could he not be nervous?
So many people were watching them right now.
If the car started shaking—especially a luxury car like this—
It might even make headlines.
The thought of being watched and gossiped about by the entire country was pure social suicide.
“Hua Bao, too many people will see.” Lin Xuan clung to his last shred of rationality. “Be good. Let’s talk about this at home.”
Su Hua arched a brow but said nothing.
She knew words alone wouldn’t convince him.
The only way was to let actions drown him in pleasure, so he’d have no mind left for anything else.
Her fingers continued their slow, deliberate exploration over Lin Xuan’s sculpted abs.
By now, Su Hua knew every sensitive spot on his body.
Soon, Lin Xuan was lost in the intoxicating haze she wove around him, his thoughts scattering.
Yet, in the back of his mind, the fear of the car shaking under prying eyes lingered.
Nervousness, thrill, pleasure—
Countless emotions tangled together.
Strangely, Lin Xuan felt an unexpected rush of excitement.

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

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)
