After speaking,
Chen Feihong turned and left.
Boss Wang's ears were ringing with a buzzing sound.
If only he hadn't provoked that woman earlier.
He should have realized—the aura those two carried wasn’t something ordinary people possessed.
Outside the police station,
Su Hua wrapped her arms around Lin Xuan's waist, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration.
"My boyfriend is truly amazing."
"Mhm." Lin Xuan felt his heart swell with pride.
"This is your reward, Ah Xuan." Su Hua stood on her tiptoes and quickly pressed a kiss to his cheek.
Many passersby witnessed the scene, their faces alight with excitement.
"Ahhh! Handsome guy, gorgeous girl, and so sweet together—I’m totally shipping them!"
"What a perfect match, talent and beauty combined!"
Lin Xuan turned toward the source of the squeals and only then noticed the crowd that had gathered nearby.
Lin Xuan: "..."
He could’ve sworn there weren’t this many people when they first stepped out of the police station. Where did they all come from?
Clearing his throat, Lin Xuan quickly averted his gaze.
"Hua Bao, it’s getting late. Let’s head back now."
"Sure, whatever Ah Xuan says."
A faint smile played at the corners of Su Hua’s lips.
Ah Xuan seemed a little embarrassed.
A mischievous urge suddenly took hold of her.
As Lin Xuan led her forward through the crowd,
Su Hua suddenly called out, "Ah Xuan."
"What is it, Hua Bao?" He turned to look at her.
Su Hua leaned in and kissed his lips, pulling away just as quickly.
"AHHHHH—" Another wave of squeals erupted from the fangirls.
"Nothing." Su Hua smirked. "I just suddenly felt like kissing you."
Lin Xuan could see the playful glint in her eyes.
He shook his head helplessly.
Well, as long as Hua Bao was happy.
On the way back, Lin Xuan remembered that Su Hua hadn’t eaten much earlier. He stopped by a high-end mall to pick up some groceries before returning with her to Night Garden.
"Miss." A servant stepped forward respectfully. "Old Master Su is here."
Su Hua glanced toward the living room and, sure enough, saw her grandfather sitting on the sofa with a cheerful expression.
She pressed her lips together.
Why was he here again?
Every time he visited, he’d try to steal Ah Xuan’s attention…
She really wanted to kick him out, but with Ah Xuan around…
Old Master Su’s gaze landed on the groceries in Lin Xuan’s hands.
"Xiao Xuan, why did you buy so much food?" he asked curiously.
"Grandfather, Hua Bao hasn’t had dinner yet. I thought I’d cook something for her," Lin Xuan replied.
Old Master Su’s eyes lit up.
He’d never had the chance to taste Xiao Xuan’s cooking before.
"Xiao Xuan, I was so caught up in the drama at the banquet earlier that I didn’t eat much either. I’m starving now." Ignoring the icy glare from his granddaughter, Old Master Su grinned. "Do you think this old man could join you for dinner?"
"Of course." Lin Xuan nodded without hesitation. "I bought plenty—there’s enough for one more."
"Then I’ll trouble you, Xiao Xuan." Old Master Su chuckled.
"I’ll get started in the kitchen."
"Take your time!"
The moment Lin Xuan disappeared into the kitchen, the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.
Old Master Su glanced at his granddaughter, who was now scowling.
He sighed inwardly.
Her possessiveness over Xiao Xuan was truly something—even jealous of her own grandfather!
"Grandfather, it’s already ten. Shouldn’t you be heading back to rest?" Su Hua said coolly.
"No rush, I’m not tired yet," Old Master Su replied breezily.
Then, a thought seemed to strike him. His eyes twinkled mischievously.
"If only someone would give me a great-grandson to dote on, I’d be too busy to wander around. But alas, the Su family mansion is so empty these days. What else can I do but drop by unannounced?"
He was practically screaming the hint.
He was desperate for a great-grandchild—so desperate it was driving him mad. Yet no matter how much he hoped, there was still no news of Su Hua’s pregnancy.
Su Hua pressed her lips together and stayed silent.
Having a child who’d compete for Ah Xuan’s affection? She’d rather just tolerate her grandfather’s occasional visits.
With the help of the chefs and servants, Lin Xuan finished preparing three dishes and a soup in just half an hour.
The rich aroma of food soon filled the dining room.
"What’s cooking? It smells incredible!"
Old Master Su grabbed his cane and hurried toward the dining area, with Su Hua following behind.
By the time they arrived, Lin Xuan was setting down the last dish.
"Grandfather, Hua Bao, dinner’s ready."
Old Master Su took a deep breath as he sat down.
"Xiao Xuan, this smells amazing! Your cooking skills are impressive."
The dishes looked and smelled divine—even better than the chefs back at the mansion.
He couldn’t wait to taste them.
Unable to resist, Old Master Su picked up a piece of fish and took a bite.
His eyes widened in delight.
This—this was even better than the mansion’s chefs!
Forgetting everything else, he focused entirely on the meal, eating with gusto.
Between bites, he couldn’t help but praise, "Incredible! Absolutely delicious! Xiao Xuan, you’re a master at this."
What a treasure his granddaughter had found!
Not only was Xiao Xuan good for her condition and a business prodigy, but he could also cook like a gourmet chef!
"Grandfather, if you like it, you’re welcome to visit Night Garden often. I’ll cook for you whenever you come," Lin Xuan offered warmly.
"Now that’s an offer I can’t refuse!" Old Master Su beamed. "Xiao Xuan, I’ll definitely take you up on that."
Su Hua frowned. "Ah Xuan, won’t that be too much work for you?"
"Not at all." Lin Xuan shook his head. "Cooking is nothing. It’s no trouble."
"Oh?"
Su Hua leaned close to his ear, her voice dripping with suggestion.
"So Ah Xuan isn’t tired? Still full of energy, hm?"
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
Why did he suddenly feel a sense of impending doom?
"Ah Xuan, we can… play properly in bed tonight." Her red lips curled into a smirk.
Lin Xuan was utterly confused.
What was up with Hua Bao?
She seemed upset.
Didn’t they have a good time today?
But more importantly—his kidneys.
Tonight, his kidneys were doomed.
Old Master Su, who usually only ate one bowl of rice per meal, ended up devouring two and a half tonight.
After dinner, he leaned back on the sofa, rubbing his full stomach and letting out a satisfied burp.
It was just too delicious.
He couldn’t help himself—he’d overeaten.

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?
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain? Who would ever... become one! He'll be the villain! From then on, Zhu Yan is not only a player but also a lackey for the Carnival Paradise. Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss. But when the final war erupts and both major factions place their hopes in him— Players tag his various aliases: "Experts, this offensive depends on you." The Carnival Paradise's supreme Boss throws an arm around his neck: "Bro, you're the iron, I'm the steel; you can't let me down again!"

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.
