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.
